I missed, (y/n) thought, causing her heart to flip over and over again.
"Shit," she muttered, looking down from scope. Her (e/c) eyes looked through the windows, watching as people started to run amok in a panicked haze. She could hear the screaming and the honking of car horns as people quickly poured out of the doors on the ground floor. She narrowed her eyes as she began to search through her scope again. On the stage, Stark was nowhere to be found. She turned her scope to the ground.
Come on, you can't be dumb enough to stay in there, she thought, watching the streets for her targets.
Finally, she watched as Anthony Stark and Virginia Potts staggered out of the venue, their hands intertwined as they looked around at the chaos that ensued around them.
"So my job is to kill Virginia Potts?" (y/n) asked as she picked up a file that was thrown her way from the Sergeant, who stood at the end of the table opposite her. They were in the higher-ups' mission control room again, though under different circumstances. Ms. Elor was gone, having left the second the girl was there, now that her task was completed. (Y/n) looked at her superior, who shook his head.
"Not quite. That would be too easy. You're not just killing her. Open it," he ordered, gesturing to the file.
Flipping it open, she saw not only a picture of Ms. Potts but a man whom she knew well from her time in HYDRA.
"Anthony Stark," she said.
"Out of the two of them, he's the priority. Killing him while everything is hell is our best chance. He's lost the Avengers, the Vision guy is always away, his best friend is paralyzed, and his only real ally is some amateur bugboy. He's vulnerable, as is Ms. Potts," Sergeant told her. (Y/n) looked away from him and back at the picture.
"I see. Not only are we killing one of our biggest enemies, but we're also killing the woman who would inherit everything he has. The company will be in chaos, and we can take it," she thought aloud.
"Precisely, and our guest can be given another shot at stealing his tech, seeing as she failed last time," he grumbled, sitting down and pulling a cigar and a lighter from the inside of his uniform. He lit the end of the cigar, taking a drag from it.
"Why let her go in the first place? She's new, and took a job she knew she couldn't handle. On top of that, she ignored her objective for a slice of revenge. She was petty and emotional," she said bluntly.
"Yeah, well, not everyone can be a model student like you, so shut the fuck up and get going within the next two hours," he said as he walked away.
(Y/n) took a deep breath. She had to focus. With a history like hers, a failure of this magnitude could cost her her life when she returned to base. Her record was unbroken, and she wasn't going to start now. Her eyes lowered to the streets, looking for Stark and Potts, expecting to find them together.
Stark won't leave the building without her, and he won't stand down from a fight. He'll come up here and give me an opening eventually, she thought.

"Tony, what happened!" Pepper yelled, her voice barely breaking through the screams and cars around them. Her heart was racing as she breathed heavily, her eyes darting from one thing to the next.
Tony watched as she began to panic, and he let go of her hand, grabbing onto her shoulders to make her focus on him, locking eyes. "Hey, we'll be ok, but for now, we need to get our heads together and take care of this. Ok?" he said slowly, his calm voice blurring out everything else that was going on around them.
