I opened my eyes slowly once I heard the door to the hotel room open. I poked my head out from under the pillow and looked at who was there. Steve had the door opened a little so I couldn't see who was there, but I could  hear their conversation. The voice sounded like Bucky's. I pulled the blanket over me more and closed my eyes since it was useless to keep them open. I listened and tried not to make any noise or movement to give away that I was awake. 

        "Are you two ready to leave?" Bucky asked. 

        "Buck, it's 6 in the morning," Steve groaned. There was a short silence, then Bucky chuckled.

        "Looks like someone got lucky," Bucky stated, joking obviously. 

        "Oh my god. I'll wake her up. Just leave," Steve said, shutting the door. I stretched myself out on the bed then sat up. Steve walked back to the bed with a smile on his face. "Good morning," he whispered. 

        "Good morning," I said. I stretched my legs out more then stood from the bed. "What are we doing today?" I raised my arms up and yawned.

        "Well, it's an early wake up, but we all have a mission, together," Steve said. I started to pack all my things as Steve explained what Bucky had told him. I pulled out clothes for me to wear then put my hair up in a ponytail. "Are you okay with going on this mission?" He asked. I nodded and laughed a little. 

        "You know, I should be more worried about you," I started, walking backwards towards the bathroom. "You're the 90 year-old here." Steve laughed and I walked into the bathroom. Steve ran after me and I laughed, slamming the door before he could get to me.

        I changed into a white button up tank top with a collar and black skinny jeans. I did my makeup then put on black Vans. I walked out of the bathroom with all my things then put them back in the bag I had brought. I grabbed a cookie from the bag and took a bite out of it. Steve was dressed and had his things packed already. I took my bag from where I had set it down, zipped it up, and threw it over my shoulder. We walked out of the room together then went down the elevator. The elevator stopped on a floor and two others walked into the elevator. I took a hold of Steve's hand and smiled. He smiled back at me. The people didn't speak to us, but seemed to wonder about Steve. They probably knew who he was and wanted to say something, but didn't.

        We reached the ground floor and met up with everyone. I followed everyone and walked with Nycole, wondering what this all could be about. Maria handed us a tablet that showed us what we had to do. I looked over it and realized that I shouldn't be going. I looked at Nycole and she nodded, telling me it would be okay. We went to Avengers Tower and started to suit up. Nycole and Natasha helped me wear a S.H.I.E.L.D suit and gave me some weapons. I was beyond nervous for this mission. I asked if I would be okay with all of this, and they told me not to worry, but I was still worrying. This was terrifying for me. 

        After we all were ready, we left. Nycole stayed back to hack into things when we needed it. I wished I could do that, but it wasn't easy to me. We reached the place where chaos was being unleashed and Steve told me to wait. I nodded and stayed with Clint and Bucky. I messed with my hands then felt someone put their hand on my back. I looked back and saw Bucky trying to comfort me. I smiled softly and heard my name being called. I quickly looked that way then back at the two boys. They ran out of the plane and I followed behind. 

        We were fighting against some people who were possibly with Hydra. I fought with Bucky by my side. I couldn't keep up with him, but us together made a pretty good team. After a few minutes of fighting, Bucky had gotten out of my reach and someone caught me. I yelled for help, but no one could hear me. I took the gun that I forgot I had and shot the person in the leg. They let go of me and I shot them again. Some others rushed towards me and I panicked a little. I was the only one here. I called for Steve then saw him run my way. I tried to attack them, but they pinned me down onto the ground. I tried to kick, but it wouldn't work. They pulled out something and aimed it at my heart, then were knocked away. Steve helped me up and I hugged him. He kept his arms around me for awhile. 

        "I think they're trying to come after us all," Steve said as he pulled away. 

        "If you see them pull out something that isn't their weapon, destroy it," I told him. "They're aiming for the heart." He nodded and started to walk away. I pulled him back and gave him a quick peck on the lips. "Be careful." 

        "Got it," he replied. 

        I ran towards Bucky, jumped on his shoulders and started shooting people. He held onto my legs and asked me what was next. I told him that I was going to jump off his shoulders and onto theirs when they came towards us. He nodded and let go. Someone started running towards us and Bucky told me he was mine. I prepared myself to jump and did so when he was in close range. I took my knife and stabbed the person in the shoulder then the chest. He tumbled over and I jumped off of him. 

        Then I felt my arms being grabbed and placed behind my back. I looked back quickly and saw someone who was on the other side. I yelled and waited for someone to hear me. Bucky saw and called for Steve. The person knocked me unconscious once he saw Steve and Bucky were coming.
