Whiplash- Book 2

Chapter 5

<<<HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!>>>

You sat in the chair next to Steve and to your left was Sam. The cathedral was nice, something you'd expect to be in London.

You glanced at Steve, seeing how he was holding up. You saw his red eyes from his tears. You teared up and leaned into him, as he put his arm around you.

You quietly sobbed as the priest stood and spoke, "And now, I would like to invite Sharon Carter to come up and say a few words."

A blonde woman stood from her seat by the side of the alter. She looked familiar, wait... it was the woman from DC.

She worked for SHIELD, she was actually yours and Steve's neighbor who was working undercover.

She looks at you and Steve and takes an inhale, as you both give her confused looks.

"Margaret Carter was known to most as a founder of SHIELD... but I just knew her as Aunt Peggy," The woman named Sharon speaks.

Steve gives a slight gasp as you give her a cold look.

"She had a photograph in her office. Aunt Peggy standing next to JFK. As a kid, that was pretty cool. But it was a lot to live up to. Which is why I never told anyone we were related," Sharon says as she looks directly at you and Steve.

Your look softens as a small smile tugs at her lips.

"I asked her once how she managed to master diplomacy and espionage in a time when no one wanted to see a woman succeed at either.
And she said, compromise where you can. But where you can't, don't. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right. Even if the whole world is telling you to move... it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in they eye and say "No, you move."...."

The sermon continued and everyone our their respects to the loved Margaret 'Peggy' Carter. Everyone leaves, including Sharon, leaving you and Steve standing side by side together.

"She was amazing Steve, you should've seen her," you say as you look down.

"She told us amazing stories and adventures she went on... she truly was an incredible woman," you say as you grab his hand.

He smiles sadly and nods. Then you hear the sound of heels coming up behind you. You knew it was Nat.

"When I came out of the ice, I thought everyone I had known was gone. Then I found out that she was alive. I was just lucky to have her," Steve says as he turns around towards Natasha.

"She has your back too. Good thing, or else Y/n wouldn't be here right now," she says as she reaches towards your face and slightly rubs your cheek.

"Who else signed?" Steve asks. Tasha pulls her hand away from your face and answers.

"Tony. Rhodey. Vision," Tasha names off three members.

"Clint?" You ask.

"Says he's retired," Nat says with a small snicker.

"Wanda and Pietro?" Steve asks further more.

"Tbd.. I'm off to Vienna for the signing of the Accords. There's plenty of room on the jet," Nat offers as you and Steve nod subtly.

"Just because it's the path of least resistance doesn't mean it's the wrong path. Staying together is more important than how we stay together," Tasha says as she reaches out to you.

You take her arm and walk with her.

"What are we giving up to do it?" Steve asks, before you link arms.

Nat sighs. You hesitate, and bring your arm back down to your side. Nat gives you a questioning look.

"I'm sorry Nat, I can't sign," Steve says as he looks at you and pulls you back towards him.

"I know," she says as she looks at Steve.

"Then why are you here?" Steve asks coldly.

"I didn't want the Rogers to be alone," she says with a smile.

She pulls you into a hug first, and then hugs Steve. When she's not a killing spy, Natasha is the sweetest person in earth.

"So Y/n... you going to sign?" Nat asks as she reaches out for you again.

You pause... what do you choose??

You thought I was done?? Haha, lets continue..
<<<•••>>>

You sat on a park bench in Vienna, waiting for Nat.

You decided not to sigh the accords.

You can always find a new job right? As you say in the bench you thought of all the powerful men and women in the building. The king of Wakanda was up there.

Who knew Wakanda had a king? But you sat on the bench with a hat and sunglasses on, waiting for Tasha to finish up. You were causally looking around when you notice a news channel van looking mighty suspicious.

They attached something to the side of the van and then ran away. You look up and see its a bomb, that will take out half of the building. You had no time to undetinate the bomb, you'd be dead within the second.

You decide to zoom up the building. Once you made it to the large room with everyone in it, you scream.

"King T'Chaka!! GET DOWN!!" You scream, but it was too late. The bomb had gone off and pieces of building fell.

You tried to protect the King but debris fell in your way. You look at his figure, lying on the ground. He glances at you with heavy eyes.

"Thank... you- for... trying," He breaths out. Then his eyes go dull as he looks at the ceiling, not moving.

You scream angrily as everything was still now. People scattered amongst the floor and you... who pushed all the pieces of debris to the side to get to the king.

Once you did, you kneeled down beside him and weeped. You could've saved him, if you were fast enough. You ran everyone you could out, one by one. T'Challa, the son of King T'Chaka, was the last one.

"I-I'm so sorry," you say, gulping down your other tears. He stood and walked up to you.

"You are very brave. You knew it was dangerous and you still came to save everyone," he says in his accent. This was the first time you've met him, you weren't expecting him to be cute, but he was no where near Pietro.

Your eyes widen, "My apologies, I never introduced myself. I'm-," "I know who you are Ms.Rogers," he cuts you off as he starts walking out, you beside him.

"I-I was too slow... I'm sorry," you apologize again.

"You keep apologizing, but it is not your fault. You didn't your best, and I will find the killer," he says with anger.

"Revenge is nice, but only for a second," you try to convince him not to go off and kill this person.

"No matter, I will still find them," he says as he walks out of the building. You sigh as you watch him walk away, it was no use.

You quickly run back up to the floor that was blown. You respectfully crossed the kings arms and carried him to the paramedics.

As soon as you got out of the building, everyone swarmed you with camera and microphones, along with paramedics wanting to see if the king was still alive.

You pushed through everyone, trying to hide your red eyes. You walked towards a paramedic bed and lay him down.

You bowed your head then looked up to the sky, respecting the fallen king....
