Violet in the Winter (Bucky FanFic)

Girl Walks Into A Bar

"Fury we have a breach!"

The sound of shrill gunfire was heard in the distance as Nick Fury grabbed his pistol, leading the way from his office and out into the dimly lit hallway. S.H.I.E.L.D was reforming, and currently vulnerable. Fury had picked a remote location to work out of until he could get operations back to full capacity.

"Give me a status on the intruder," Fury growled as an agent walked beside him.

"Hill is currently assessing, but from what I know, she tore a hole right through the gate."

"Jesus...so she's enhanced?"

"Sounds like it. She's cleared our initial security, and is trying to breach the building."

Fury nodded, moving a little quicker. As he got toward the front of the giant warehouse, he could hear the gunfire more clearly now. Hill was crouched by the main entrance, several other agents at her sides, as she held onto her pistol tightly. Fury made a beeline for her, crouching too.

"Update me."

"One hostile, female. She's enhanced."

"And what are her enhancements?"

As Fury asked the question, one of the agents flew through the double doors, crashing to the ground. Hill gave Fury a look, before motioning to the other agents to move in.

"Wait," Fury ordered and everyone stopped. He looked at Hill. "She's alone? Did she say anything? Like if she's looking for someone?"

"She's alone and hasn't said anything. She showed up at the perimeter, and made it past them, and kept going until she made it here."

Fury nodded slowly looking at two agents.

"Get me snipers up top. I'm going to attempt to talk to her. Take her out if she turns hostile."

Fury stood, his jacket flapping as he did so, and held his fist up, signaling the other agents to hold fire. He gave Hill a slight nod, as he dropped his pistol and stepped into the light, his hands up. In the middle of the courtyard stood a girl, no, woman. She was about average height with tanned skin and a wild mess of curly hair. She was dressed in tan, linen pants and a white long-sleeve dry fit shirt. Her eyes were scared, full of uncertainty. One agent had his gun aimed at her, letting a string of bullets fly at her. She waved her hand up, a golden arch appearing out of nowhere, as the bullets came to a slow near it before falling to her feet. The agent stumbled backwards, but the woman caught him, easily launching him across the yard.

She stopped hearing Fury behind her and looked at him with a wary glance, her fists balled up and glowing gold.

"We're not going to harm you," Fury started, taking a tentative step forward. The woman flinched, stepping backwards, while raising her hand. He stopped walking. "Please, we can help you, if you want."

The woman looked at Fury, then looking around to see if anyone else was prepared to attack her.

"How'd you get here?"

She turned back to face Fury as he asked her another question. Fury's frown deepened. Perhaps she couldn't speak-

"I don't know," the woman replied in a clear voice. Okay, good. Progress.

"Well...this is a very secure and secret place. Surely you know something."

"I...I woke up in a field... it wasn't a far walk from here. I don't know how I got there."
