A Star Spangled Heart & Not For the Light Hearted

Chapter 5: Shock Discoveries

Chapter 5: Shock Discoveries

~~~~~~~~~~~{Sky's Point of View}~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been three days since I started working again. I've been playing some solo shows at lunch hour, and sometimes at the dinner rush if someone asked for music.

My solo shows were usually me playing the guitar. I played the drums and the guitar, the ukulele and a bit of piano. The drums were by far my favourite, but I liked playing the solo shows. They were fun.

Everyday, Steve came in for lunch and I always served him. Amanda kept teasing me because she thought Steve liked me, but I didn't think so. He was just being friendly, where was the harm in that?

On Thursday night, after a show, I told Hector that I was going to walk home and try and catch the new episode of Gossip Girl. The previous episode had ended on a massive cliff hanger so there was no way I was going to miss this one.

It was pretty dark, the only lights were the street lamps, and even those were flickering, their globes on the brink of dying. Shivering, I pulled my jacket closer to my body and shoved my hands in my pockets.

I was around the corner from my house when I noticed that there was another pair of footsteps behind me. I stopped for a second to see if I was imagining things.

I wasn't.

Behind me was the telltale crunch of boots on concrete. I sped up walking, almost at my apartment when someone grabbed me from behind, covering my mouth with a cloth and I was out in seconds.

It was busy on the hellicarrier, way busier than it had been in the past week or so. Nick Fury was pacing up and down on the bridge while I sat in the seat closest to the door. Clint sat next to me and Natasha next to him, Bruce walked in with his arms filled to his chin with papers while Stark was on the holographic screens.

"Can someone tell me why I'm needed?" Tony snapped.

Nick Fury stormed into the room. "I have a mission for you all."

"I swear, if Loki has broken out of prison I'm going to kill Thor." Clint said through clenched teeth.

"It's not Loki." Fury said, calming Clint a little. "It's the S.P.A. I have reason to believe that they have deployed a team of assassins to trail you all."

"What's the S.P.A?" I asked. I'd never heard of them, and by the sounds of it, they were dangerous.

Fury explained; "The S.P.A; or the Security Protection Agency, is S.H.I.E.L.D's main rival. They often send out attacks on us but now, they've figured out that the Avengers belong to the S.H.I.E.L.D Agency and they want to take you all out."

"Do we know the identities of the assassins?" Natasha asked.

"We only know of one." Fury frowned, "Clint, Natasha, I'm sending you out on this one. The rest of you, I want to keep an eye out for anyone that seems unusual around you."

"Yes, sir." Everyone chorused and left. I stayed behind,

"Director Fury, is there any change in Noel's wellbeing?" I asked.

"Sorry, Cap. No change." Fury sighed, he looked like he was hiding something, but then again, he always did. Like Tony said; he was a spy, his secrets had secrets.

I woke up in a cold room, tied to a chair in the middle of the room. There was a glass panel wall, and I knew from experience that the glass was tinted from my side so I couldn't see who was behind it, but they could see me.

There were six security cameras in the ceiling and an alarm system on the door that was obviously designed by Stark Industries.

I sighed and groggily remembered the cloth being pushed onto my face before blacking out.

I tugged on the binds they had around my wrists and tried to free my ankles, but it was no use.

They'd taken my gun and back up knives, I could tell by the lack of weight in my boots.

"Hello?" I called out cutting straight to the chase. "What do you want me with?"

A deep voice came in through the inter-com. One very familiar voice. "I think you know, Ms. Ross."

My blood ran cold. Director Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. He knew who I was.

"I don't have anything you want, Fury." I said, my voice shaking. "I'm not on any side here."

"Oh, I don't know about that. Linda Price, Sebastian Cross, Daniel Roberts, Hannah Cooper, India Sean, Trent Maxwell. Do those names sound familiar to you?" Nick Fury listed off the names. The names that had haunted my mind for years.

The names of all the S.H.I.E.L.D Agents that I'd been assigned to take out.

"Yes." I said.

Then Fury said something that shocked even me; "What about Steve Rogers?"

"He's a guy I serve at The Stork Club where I work." I told him truthfully.

"That's bullshit and you know it, Ross." Fury spat,

"I'm not with S.P.A anymore!" I shouted, "I know where you're going with this and it's not true! I wasn't sent to kill Steve Rogers -why would I? He's a civilian!"

Everything when quiet as the glass shuddered and the tinted side, my side, became clear. On the other side, I could see Nick Fury, Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton. Behind them I vaguely made out Tony Stark, another brunette man and ...Steve.

"Why do you have him?" I demanded to know, "He isn't with my former agency, he never was!"

"Oh, I know." Fury said. "He's with us."

As Fury said the last three words a picture came up on the glass in between us of a man in red, white and blue with a shield...very much like the one I'd painted on cardboard the other day.

Captain America.

My eyes widened in shock as I realised the picture had been taken with his mask off.

He had Steve's face.

Steve Rogers was Captain America.
