The Winter Soldier

Long Live The King

Nick Fury was wearing sunglasses and hoodie while standing in a cemetery at his own grave. Elise stood next to her as he informed her on a new special mission. "You seriously want me to go out of space?" She repeated just to clarify that was what she had heard.

"Yes." He replied. "This is important." He handed her the file of her mission details before putting his hands behind his back. "You sure you don't want to go to Europe with me?"

"I'm sure." She answered. "There's something I need to fix before I do anything else."

He glanced over to his daughter. "Barnes?"

"Its been a day and I'm going crazy."

"Why is that?"

"He's not him, Nick...but he helped us." She shook her head. "I want to return that favor."

Before he could reply to her, Steve and Sam walked over to them. "So, you've experienced this sort of thing before?" Was the first thing he said to Cap.

"You get used to it."

Fury's gravestone which bears bears the epitaph "The path of the righteous man. Ezekiel 25:17" As well as, "survived by his only daughter, Elise Acheampong-Fury." On the bottom of it was a phrase curved out, "Long Live The King." Elise chuckled to herself, knowing she was the one to them to put that.

"We've been data-mining HYDRA's files. Looks like a lot of rats didn't go down with the ship. I'm headed to Europe tonight, wanted to ask if you'd come." Fury told them.

"There's something I gotta do first." Steve responded.

Fury glanced over to Elise, thinking about how she had said something similar to that and he could bet money that it was about Bucky. But, he didn't say anything about it. "How about you, Wilson? Could use a man with your abilities."

Sam shook his head. "I'm more of a soldier than a spy."

"Alright then." Sam and Steve shake Fury's hand then he pulled Elise into a hug. They let go of each other after a moment. "Anybody asks for me, tell them they can find me right here." Fury looked to his gravestone.

"Love live the king." She muttered as he walked away.

Just then Natasha joined Steve, Elise and Sam. "You should be honored, that's about as close as he gets to saying thank you." She told Steve.

Elise snickered. "That's true." Then, she asked her, "Not going with him?"

"No."

"Not staying here?"

"I blew all my covers, I gotta go figure out a new one."

Steve added, "That might take a while."

"I'm counting on it." She glanced at Elise. "Why aren't you going?"

She shrugged her shoulders. "I've been assigned a new mission."

"Already?"

"Yep." She answered. "Its a very unique mission. I'm going out of space, apparently."

"Oh, that sounds cool."

"I feel like everything you say sounds sarcastic." Elise joked.

They all chuckled before Natasha turned her attention to Steve. "That thing you asked for, I called in a few favors from Kiev." She handed Steve a file titled "дело No 17" (file No 17). "Will you do me a favor? Call that nurse."

"She's not a nurse." Elise corrected.

"And you're not apart of a team." She replied sarcastically.

Elise chuckled, knowing how multiple times she had actually said that before. "Well played, Black Widow."

"What was her name again?" Steve asked.

"Sharon." Elise answered.

"She's nice." Natasha finished before she kissed Steve on the cheek and turned to walk away. "Be careful, Steve. You might not want to pull on that thread." She walked away.

Elise stepped in front of the guys with a small smile. "Alright, I have to go."

"When are you leaving?" Sam asked her.

She shrugged her shoulders. "Today, most likely." She lied swiftly. "I have something to take care of first; but, I'll leave right after that."

"When will we see you again?" Steve asked.

"I don't know...but always remember." She told them while pulling out two communicator devices from her inner pocket, in her jacket, before handing it to them. "When you need me, you know where to find me." They took them and gave them one more smile before turning around and walking away.
