LUNA HAD SPENT THE few hours of alone time wandering around the streets of DC. A few hours had passed, and she decided to finally go home. She made it up to few flights up stairs to their tiny apartment, "Oh, and I think you left your stereo on." Kate, their neighbor, told Steve.
"Oh. Right, thank you." Steve smiled at her.
"Yeah." Kate smiled, and walked down the stairs, carrying her laundry basket. She ran into Luna as she was walking down the stairs, who completely avoided eye-contact with her. She met Steve at the top of the stairs, and the two of them entered their apartment, suspicions on high alert.
They heard the music, and as they cautiously entered their apartment, Steve grabbed his shield for protection. As they ventured further into the small apartment, they saw Nick Fury sitting on their couch, all the lights off.
"I don't remember giving you a key." Steve commented.
"You really think I'd need one? My wife kicked me out." Fury told them.
"Didn't know you were married." Steve said. Luna knew something was wrong.
"A lot of things you don't about me." Fury spoke vaguely.
"I know, Nick. That's the problem." Steve finally noticed the injuries. Fury gestured for them to be quiet. He turned off the light next to him, and wrote something on his phone, showing it to them, "ears everywhere"
"I'm sorry to have to do this, but I had no place else to crash." Fury told them, and showed them another text, "SHIELD compromised"
"Who else knows about your wife?" Luna asked. Fury showed another text, "You two and me"
"Just...my friends." He answered.
"Is that what we are?" Steve asked.
"That's up to you." Fury answered. Suddenly, three shots fire through the wall, and hit Fury, causing him to collapse.
Luna immediately drew her gun while Steve looked out the window for the shooter. The quickly pulled him into the next room. While Luna was looking away, trying to find the shooter, Fury handed Steve a flash drive, "Don't...trust anyone." He told him weakly, then passed out.
Steve turned around when he heard someone breaking into his apartment. Luna already knew who it was, "Captain Rogers?" Kate... or Sharon Carter called out. She walked into the room, gun raised, "Captain, I'm Agent 13 of SHIELD Special Service." She told him.
"Kate?" Steve asked.
"I'm assigned to protect you." Kate told him.
"On whose order?" Steve asked. Sharon notices Fury on the ground, injured and unconscious.
"His." She then turned to Luna, "Did you call it in?" She asked.
"No, I was a bit busy trying to find out who shot our boss." Luna sassed as she kept pressure on the wound.
Sharon ignored her sassiness and pulled out her radio, "Foxtrot is down, he's unresponsive. I need EMTs."
"Do you have a twenty on the shooter?" The SHIELD agent asked. Steve notices the shooter through the window.
"Tell him I'm in pursuit." Steve told the two of them, and smashed trout the window, running after the assassin. Luna looked over at Sharon.
"Luna..."
"What, Sharon?" Luna snapped. When Sharon didn't answer, she scoffed, and nodded.
🌟
Luna was standing in front of the window watching as the doctors worked on Fury. Steve stood next to her, "Do you think he'll make it?" Luna whispered to Steve.
"I don't know." He answered honestly.
"Tell me about the shooter." Luna demanded.
"He's fast and strong. Had a metal arm." He told her, and Luna felt the air get stuck in her throat.
"Ballistics?" Luna asked, clearing her throat. The three of them didn't look away from the doctors and nurses in front of them.
"Three slugs, no rifling. Completely untraceable." Maria answered.
"Soviet-made."
"Yeah." The three of them, watch in shock and horror as the heart monitor starts to beat more rapidly.
"He's in V-tach." A nurse announced.
"Crash cart coming in."
"Nurse, help me with the drape." The doctor demanded.
"BP is dropping."
"Defibrillator!" The three continue to watch as Fury starts to flatline, "I want you to charge him at one hundred." The doctor demanded.
"Don't do this to me, Nick." Luna begged shakily under her breath. They watched as the doctors and nurses tried to resuscitate.
"Don't do this to me, Nick. Don't do this to me." Luna begged. The doctors continued to try and revive him, but he was still flatlining. Steve turned and walked away as they called time of death.
"What's the time?" The doctor asked.
"1:03, Doctor." A nurse informed him.
"Time of death, 1:03 a.m." The doctor announced. Luna sighed, dropping her head.
🌟
Luna was looking down at Fury's body. Steve stood some distance behind him, "I need to take him." Maria Hill whispered to Steve.
Steve nodded, and slowly walked up to Luna, "Luna." She didn't say anything. Instead she tenderly touched Fury's head, then whipped around and walked out, "Luna!" He called her name, following after her.
"Why was he there? In our apartment?" Luna asked, completely oblivious to the flash drive.
"I don't know." He told her.
Rumlow approached them, "Cap, they want you back at SHIELD." Rumlow told Steve.
"Yeah, give me a second." Steve nodded, brushing him off.
"They want you now." Rumlow corrected.
"Okay." Steve nodded,d and turned back to Luna.
"You've always been a terrible liar." She turned on her heel, and walked away from him.
