"I want all of you, forever, you and me, every day."

Nicholas Sparks

Life was back to normal after that. For a while. Tony figured out the whole Extremis thing. I wasn't dying, I was going to be fine. No longer acting as Tony's assistant and not wanting to go back to Stark Industries I started doing more missions for SHIELD. That was until Steve Rogers, and I took down SHIELD with the help of Fury.

With the fall of SHIELD came the end of HYDRA. They were in possession of Loki's scepter, and we were determined to get it back.

Steve and I race through the snowy woods of Sokovia on motorcycles. We're about to take down the last HYDRA base. Loki's scepter has to be here.

Judging by the sound coming from the comm Tony just messed up, "Shit!"

"Language!" Steve shouts back.

"JARVIS, what's the view from upstairs?" Tony asks.

"The central building is protected by some kind of energy shield. Strucker's technology is well beyond any other Hydra base we've taken," JARVIS responds.

"Loki's scepter must be here. Strucker couldn't mount this defense without it. At long last," Thor states.

"At long last is lasting a little long, boys," Nat remarks.

"Yeah. I think we lost the element of surprise," Barton offers.

I kick away a soldier that tries to attack me. "What gave you that idea?"

"Wait a second. No one else is going to deal with the fact that Cap just said 'language?'" Tony questions.

"I know," Steve says. Steve throws his bike at a group of soldiers driving up in their truck. "It just slipped out."

Tony continues to try and gain entry to the HYDRA base.

Suddenly I'm knocked from my bike followed closely by Steve being knocked off his feet.

"We have an enhanced in the field," I say into the comm.

"Clint's hit!" Natasha shouts.

Steve and I fight side by side against the HYDRA soldiers. I freeze most of them, not wanting to use my flames in the cold.

"Stark, we really need to get inside," Steve tells him.

"I'm closing in," Tony tells us.

Thor shows up looking at Steve and I. "The enhanced?"

"He's a blur," I state.

"All the new player's we've faced, I've never seen this. In fact, I still haven't," Steve adds.

"Clint's hit pretty bad, guys. We're gonna need evac," Natasha tells us.

"I can get Barton to the jet. The sooner we're gone the better. You two and Stark secure the scepter," Thor tells us.

Steve nods his head. "Copy that."

Thor gestures to the approaching soldiers in their HYDRA tank. "Looks like they're lining up."

Steve shrugs his shoulder. "Well, they're excited."

Thor pounds on Steve's shield with his hammer and the force knocks down all the soldiers.

"Find the scepter," Thor instructs before flying off.

"And for gosh sake, watch your language!" Tony teases.

Steve sighs. "That's not going away anytime soon."

I smile at him. "Not a chance, Cap."

Steve and I make our way into the HYDRA base. We slowly look through rooms and hallways for Loki's scepter.
