Well, it was official. Brock Rumlow had to take care of the Asset. It was as if she was a child. A one hundred year old child. She'd been so confused when she first entered Brock apartment.
"So... it's not much. B-" Brock's phone started to ring. "I'll be back. Don't touch anything." He took his phone from his pocket and walked into a different room while the Asset sat on the couch in the living room. Rumlow answered his phone.
"Hello?"
"Agent Rumlow, it's Pierce. How's the Asset doing so far?"
"I don't think she's done anything except stare blankly at stuff. It's a bit creepy."
"Yeah... about that, she's an Asset. She shouldn't be treated like a hu-"
"But she is a human."
"She's almost a human."
Rumlow face palmed. "I hate arguing with you. And yes, she's a human. I mean... I won't kill her unless I need to."
"You can't argue with me. I'll always win."
Rumlow rolled his eyes. "Yeah yeah... she'll be fine. How long do I have to do this anyway?" "Just a few months..." The ginger man hung up the phone after replying. Brock was annoyed. The agent sighed and walked back into the living room. He was wide eyed when he saw the Asset sleeping on the couch. His whole atmosphere had changed somehow. The image of her made him crack a small smile. He didn't want to wake her up, she looked so peaceful except for in combat.
No. This was wrong. He couldn't have possibly had developed a small feeling for her just then. It was too early! He shook his head and walked closer to her. Rumlow kneeled down and smiled. "Hey. Asset, wake up." He whispered. She yawned. "Jamie... Becky... Asset... wake up." Rumlow couldn't help but smile at her waking up. "Huh?" She rubbed her eyes. "Who the hell is Becky?" The Asset asked tiredly. Brock bit his lip. "Umm... no one? Are you hungry?" She looked up into Rumlow's whiskey colored eyes with her blue-gray ones. "Not really." She shrugged. "Well I am. You can join me for dinner 'cuz I'm ordering pizza." Her eyebrow raised, confused. "Um... okay." She mumbled. "Alright. Wanna beer or something? I got some stuff in the fridge. I'll be back. I'm gonna take a shower." Brock stood up and walked to his room with the master bathroom. He closed the door but didn't lock it, thinking that Ms. Barnes wouldn't be curious and investigate his room. She didn't really bother until she heard the water running, she didn't know what was even going on. The affects of being a brainwashed assassin, you only follow orders. The weird thing was that she was talking in English. She usually spoke Russian.
The Asset quietly got up and went into Rumlow's room. His bed wasn't made. There was blankets sprawled all over his bed! He was quite the mess maker when it came to his room. He was like a child. Jamie examined a few objects in his room. Drawers. Under the bed. The digital alarm clock. She climbed into his bed, looking at everything else. It wasn't the best but Rumlow liked it and so did the Soldier. She got back off the bed and went to making it, as if she was a mother making her son's bed while he was at school. The room looked much cleaner after that. Suddenly, the water stopped. The HYDRA Asset jumped onto the bed and hid under the covers like a child, making a lump on the bed. A few minutes later, Rumlow had come out with only black jeans on. He had a perfect build. He stretched and saw the lump in his bed. He chuckled, slowly taking the cover off to see the Asset hiding. "Asset... are you scared?" Brock took her bionic hand in his flesh one. She shook her head no. "Alright. I'm ordering the pizza. You can take a shower if you want to. Uh.. my shirts are in the top drawer over there." He pointed at a drawer and walked out of the room, leaving her in privacy. She shrugged it off and got into the shower.
Almost fifteen minutes later, she got out of the shower. She looked and some how found a hair dryer and did her hair like she did at the HYDRA base. She walked out of the master bathroom and into Rumlow's bedroom. She put on her same underwear, because it was unsanitary to wear someone else's, but put on one of his shirts. It was a black one that had. It was a little big on her but she didn't mind. She walked out of the room and to the living room where she saw Brock sitting on the couch while watching TV but caught his eye when she stretched her arms out.
"Damn girl." He smirked with devilishly with lust in his eyes as he looked at Jamie. "W-What? Did I do something wrong?" The Asset asked. "Not at all. You're just-heh." She walked over to him and sat next to Rumlow on the couch. He put an arm around her shoulder as the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" Rumlow ran to the door to answer it. He was given the pizza and sat the box down on  the coffee table in front of the couch. He grabbed two beers out of the fridge and walked back to the couch. He gave the Asset one. "Ya know... you may not know this because you've been brainwashed so many fuckin' times but I'll remind you of your real name, Asset is just boring. Your real name is Jamie Barnes- don't tell anyone I told you. Hell, don't even mention your name around anyone in HYDRA except me. You used to have a nickname... it was Becky." He smiled and sipped his beer.
The rest of the night was spent eating or drinking or laughing. Becky actually had a few memories come to her. A few sad ones in which she would start to cry. Rumlow held Jamie for probably the longest time. She enjoyed his comfort.
