Steve strides up the hallway of  the labs wearing something like a grey version of a  STRIKE team outfit looking for Darilyn.

 she'd been brought up here for tests as per Clint's request.

 he'd gotten concerned when she fell and she'd cut a deep wound on  her hand on a concrete step in the stairwell leading down from their floor to the common area and it seemed like it had disappeared 10 minutes later.

 alarmed he'd called Dr. Cho and asked what to do.

 she'd offered to see his little sister on short notice seeing as it was an unusual thing to happen.


Steve was going to get Darilyn for a friendly game of paintball practice with him and Bucky.

 her friends were currently visiting a relative two counties away and she missed them, not that she'd admit it though. she only hung out with those two kids and it worried Steve a little, he wanted her to have more friends.

 it would also be a great way to teach her strategy techniques seeing as those school bullies had caught her twice already before. 


he wondered why she was up so early. it didn't take him too long to find out why.

 when he entered Dr. Cho's lab he was surprised to see Commander Rumlow stood beside an anxious looking Clint as Dr. Cho was taking blood samples from a rather agitated looking Darilyn.

"  is she ok?" Steve asks concerned. his blond eyebrows hiking up in concern.

Clint jumps in surprise making Darilyn chuckle to herself. he hadn't been paying attention to his surroundings so he hadn't realized Steve had entered the medical wing.

Commander Rumlow answers him. "she's just being checked over for side affects of the modified H.Y.D.R.A. serum, no need to worry Cap" 

Steve nods. 

"were you looking for her for a particular reason?" the Commander asks him a curious glint in his whiskey coloured eyes.

"just for a friendly game of paintball , that's all"

the commander nods.

he thought Rumlow was gonna be doing a training exercise up in the mountains with their latest recruits, he asked turns out Rollins had gone in his stead.

 even though both men had the H.Y.D.R.A. serum coursing through their veins Rollins had been on the quinjet whereas Commander Rumlow had been in Fury's office when Dr. Cho had called looking for someone enhanced as security in the labs on short notice.

 so here they were. They hadn't been able to contact Steve or Bucky at the time.

Darilyn grimaced when Dr. Cho started taking more blood samples at one point she looked like she was going to puke but Clint picked up a small metal wastebasket lined with a black binliner and shoved it under her chin.

 she was still wearing her pyjamas. that made Steve raise his eyebrows up in concern. she had her new stark phone beside her on the bed .

"how long has she been up here ?" he asks.

"not long" Rumlow answers with a laugh. her phone beeped twice with a text alert. she ignores it.

"eugh, two and a half hours is long enough Commander, eughhh"

 she held onto it the colour draining from her face and when she did empty the contents of her stomach into the small bin she seemed relieved when she raised her head.
