Perfection - Your story/ Bucky Barnes love Story

Chaoter 17 - Betrayal

As we are going to our meeting we see "Kate." I ignore her completely and walk up to pierce.

"Ah, captain....Miss Y/N." He shakes our hands. "I'm Alexander Pierce."

"Sir, it's an honor." Steve says, I only smile.

"The honor is mine. My father served in the 101st. Come on in." We enter Pierce's office where he shows us an old photo of Fury with Pierce. "That photo was taken five years after Nick and I met. When I was at State Department in Bogota. ELN rebels took the embassy, and security got me out, but the rebels took hostages. Nick was deputy chief for the SHIELD station there. And he comes to me with a plan. He wants to storm the building through the sewers. I said, "No, we'll negotiate." Turned out the ELN didn't negotiate, so they put out a kill order. They stormed the basement, and what did they find? They find it empty. Nick had ignored my direct order and carried out an unauthorized military operation on foreign soil. He saved the lives of a dozen political officers, including my daughter."

"So you gave him a promotion." I say.

"I've never had any cause to regret it. Why was Nick in your apartment last night?"

"We don't know." Steve looks away.

"You know it was bugged?"

"We did, because Nick told us." I answer.

"Did he tell you he was the one who bugged it?" We don't reply. "I want you to see something."he brings up footage of Batroc being interrogated

"Who hired you, Batroc?" An agent says.

"Is that live?" I ask.

"Yeah, they picked him up last night in a not-so-safe house in Algiers."

"Are you saying he's a suspect? Assassination isn't Batroc's line." Steve says.

"No, it's more complicated than that. Batroc was hired anonymously to attack the Lemurian Star and he was contacted by e-mail and paid by wire transfer. And then the money was run through seventeen fictitious accounts, the last one going to a holding company that was registered to a Jacob Veech."

"Are we supposed to know who that is?" I ask. he hands Steve the file

"Not likely. Veech died six years ago. His last address was 14-35 Elmhurst Drive. When I first met Nick his mother lived at 14-37."

"Are you saying Fury hired the pirates? Why?" Steve asks, shocked.

"The prevailing theory was that the hijacking was a cover for the acquisition and sale of classified intelligence. The sale went sour and that led to Nick's death."

"If you really knew Nick Fury you'd know that's not true." I say, not believing this.

"Why do you think we're talking? See, I took a seat on the Council not because I wanted to but because Nick asked me to, because we were both realists. We knew that despite all the diplomacy and the handshaking and the rhetoric, that to build a really better world sometimes means having to tear the old one down. And that makes enemies. Those people that call you dirty because you got the guts to stick your hands in the mud and try to build something better. And the idea that those people could be happy today, makes me really, really angry." he hesitates a moment. "You two were the last ones to see Nick alive. I don't think that's an accident, and I don't think you do either. So I'm gonna ask again, why was he there?"

"He told us not to trust anyone."

"I wonder if that included him." Steve pauses a moment before replying.

" I'm sorry. Those were his last words. Excuse me." Steve picks up his shield, places it on his back and I do the same. I follow him towards the door.

"Captain." Steve stops and looks at Pierce. "Somebody murdered my friend and I'm gonna find out why. Anyone gets in my way, they're gonna regret it. Anyone."

Understood. We turn and leave. We get into the elevator. "Operations control." I say.

The SHIELD Computer speaks, "Confirmed." just as the elevator doors are about to close Rumlow steps in with two strike agents.

"Forensics." He says. He then turns to me and smirks. "Hey Y/N."
Then turns to Steve. "Cap."

"Rumlow." Steve nods. I got a weird feeling when Rumlow started to watch me. His eyes scanning my body.

"I like the new suit Y/N.....it's much more...form fitting." He winks as more agents come on. I slightly look over to Steve as his hands clench in a fist. Rumlow looks at my body again, I roll my eyes when he bites his lip. "I'm sorry about what happened to Fury....messed up, what happened to him." He locks eyes with me.

"Thank you." I nod. I look at Steve as we both are starting to catch on.

"Before we get started...does anyone want to get out?" Steve asks. There was a pause before two agents shocks us both with an electrical rod. They all try to pin us down but I punch one and kick another. Rumlow pins me to the wall, pushing his body into mine.

"This feels nice." He smirks. I push him back, as he cuffs me to the wall. "Don't worry cap...I'll be gentle with her....it's not personal."

"It feels personal."

As Rumlow backs up, I jump up and wrap my legs around his neck. I slowly knock him out. Steve breaks my cuffs and opens the door. He quickly shuts it as a strike team comes down the hall.

Steve uses his shield to break the wires, making the Elevator fall. When it stops he tries to open the door again to see more agents. After he shuts it, he points to the window. "Are you crazy?" I ask.

"There's no other choice Y/N." We both jump through the glass and use our shield to protect us from under us. We fall through more glass and slam on the ground around others. I groan as he helps me up.

Steve and I run into the garage and onto our Motorcycles. As we start to go, a jet was blocking us and several spiked obstacles in front of us. "Stand down!" An agent in the Jet says.

We speed up using our shield to block the machine gun that fires at us. Steve throws his shield at their engine and and humps into it. As I get past the obstacles, Steve jumps down and joins me.

We quickly get to the hospital and into a bathroom. I unzip my backpack and hand him some clothes. "Good thing I packed just in case." I smile. I pull on my black skinny jeans and a white shirt with my black leather jacket. I put on my sunglasses we both head up to the vending machine.

To our surprise it was gone. That is until we see Nat in the reflection chewing gum.
