Steve

"Cap you ok?"

"I'm fine Tony."

"Sorry you just look nervous?" Tony questioned his own words.

"I suppose I am. I mean he won't talk to anyone but me plus he shot Clint and could've killed one of us its... rather unsettling to say the least. Feels like a setup." Steve said.

"Maybe. But he's the only lead we have. Good luck Steve." Tony patted him on the back. Steve took a deep breath and walked into the interview room.

The man looked pretty rough to say the least. Blood and bruises littered his body. His hair was sticking out in all directions but had been moved to cover his face at the front. His face hidden by shadows in an already poorly lit room made that unsettling feeling in Steve's stomach all the more present.

"Sit down Captain. Your making me uncomfortable."

"I'd rather not." Steve replied bluntly.

"Well then. I suppose I should make this short."

"That would preferable."

"Well if you stop interrupting me I can actually tell you what I wanted." The man said calmly not moving a muscle. "First things first. The hospital wasn't Hydra like you think. Second, I am simply the bearer of news the archer was simply collateral damage. So Captain, any questions?"

Steve circled man as he thought. "Ok. If it wasn't Hydra, who was it?" Steve asked once he arrived back at the door.

"It's one of your old friends, he goes by the name of Crossbones now. He was very keen that I got caught so I could tell you in person."

"Who is he? What does he want?"

"He helped look after a very old friend of yours. Bucky is it?" Steve tensed. "He told me that you won't beat him. Everyone who loves you will leave you. You'll be alone forever captain. Rumlow is back and he's stronger than ever." Steve slammed the door open and walked away with the echos of the mans manic laugh following him.
