22 - Lost and Found

- Steve's POV -

I woke up suddenly, gasping Bucky's name. 

I have these dreams often, where I relive Bucky falling off the train. Where I thought I had lost my best friend forever. It makes sleep hard to come by, even if he's alive and with us. 

An arm moves across my body, making me jump. I look, seeing Emily laying in bed with me. Thinking back, memories come back from the night before. Finding her in the hallway in the middle of the night, bringing her back to bed with me. Telling her I love her.

I do love her. We haven't been on a lot of dates or anything of that sort, but we've gone though these things together that draws us together. I don't want to lose her. I can't lose her, because I know if I do, a piece of me will die. 

Stroking her cheek, I place a kiss to her forehead before climbing out of bed. I had meetings to go to this morning. As much as I'd want to stay in bed and cuddle all day, I can't. 

After getting ready, I grab my things, giving one last glance to Emily. 

"I love you."

-Emily's POV-

A loud knock at the door catches me off guard, hearing "Wake up, ya old man!" come from the other side. Before even noticing, I open the door, seeing Bucky at the other side of the door. "Hey Ste-Emily?"

"Hey Buck, what's up?" He gives me a look before I blush. I know just what he's thinking. "No, Steve isn't here. He must of left earlier this morning." 

He gives me a sarcastic nod before rolling his eyes. He's ridiculous. "I was talking to Hill and she wanted to know if you want a shot at talking to the Hydra guy you and Steve brought in." Do I want to spend my day talking to a piece of Hydra scum? I could be doing way better things. But, If I don't, then I don't learn the things that I want to know about myself. Like my mom's story. Or what's up with my psycho ex-boyfriend that's apparently Hydra too. "I thought you would want to." Buck adds before I nod. "Come on then, I'll take you to them. Obviously I won't go in with you, but I'll take you there. We don't want them to try to turn me against you guys." We walk to the business side of the building before he knocks on a door and leaves me there. 

Maria comes out before giving me a run down of the perp, like his name, role in Hydra, and other things she thinks is important to know about him. I walk into the interrogation room, seeing the perp smile at me walk in. "So you're name is Sergei." I state, standing over him. He goes to say something before I cut him off. "I'm not done yet. I want to know what you know. What is Brandon planning?"

-Steve's POV-

Fury's idea of a meeting is telling us about something then telling us that we're actually going on a mission today. Due to time issues, it's only Clint, Sam and I going on this mission. 

Thankfully, it's only a small Hydra base take down. However, I don't like only sending a few people on these missions, just in case something happens to one of us. 

I run back to the room to get suited, hoping to find Emily. I wanted to tell her that I would be back soon and not to worry, but when I walked into the room, she was gone. "FRIDAY, where is Emily?" 

"She is currently in the interrogation room, interrogating the Hydra grunt you brought in, Captain Rogers." 

They must have wanted her to do it today. If it helps her get her information that she needs to know, then it's good for her to know. I grabbed my suit, throwing it on before leaving Emily a quick note telling her what's up.

Hopefully I'm back by night time.

When we get to the base, it was oddly quiet. "Sam go patrol the sky. Let us know what you see." He nods, launching up and flying around the area. "Anything?" 

"Nothing. It's quiet." Huh, that's odd for Hydra. 

Something's up.

Once he lands, Clint, Sam and I walk into the building, seeing nobody walking around and the lights all on. Either they fled when they were still able to, or they're planning something. We find a fork in the hallway, one way staying lit, the other way plunging into darkness. "Clint, Sam, go to the left. I'll take the right."

"You sure, Cap?" Clint says, glancing my way. I give him a nod before we separate ways. I perched my shield in front of me, propped up in case of an attack. I turned another corner before feeling a prick in my neck. 

"What the-" I go to say before plunging into darkness.

-Emily's POV- 

I hear a tap on the mirror, alerting me to come back into the other room. "Emily?" I hear the Hydra perp say, a smirk on his face. "Might want to be aware of your Captain. He's not alright." 

With that, I rush out of the room, seeing Sam and Clint standing with Maria. "Guys -" 

"It's Steve." 

"I swear to god, if he's shot." I say, crossing my arms in front of me. These fuckers went out on a mission, it's clear by their attire. And now something's up with Steve. They both look away, ashamed of something. "What is it? He's okay, right?" They don't say anything. These fuckers have to say something. I'm worried. I can't lost Steve. I fucking love that man. I'll die if I lose him. "SAY SOMETHING!"

"We're sorry, Emily." 

"If you say he's dead I swear to god I am going to kill both of you myself." I start to feel tears roll down my face. Why am I crying? 

"We lost him. Hydra took him."
