You are the worlds second best assassin only beat by one man. You've recently been hired to take out that man, kill Bucky Barnes. Killing the Winter Soldier becomes harder then you had imagined, especially when he refuses to die and feelings get involved.

"I'm guessing you're here to try and recruit me? Again?" I ask him patiently. I believe this is the fifth-time Nick Fury has come calling. Each and every time I have turned him down, but eventually he comes back and proposes the same thing. "No, I'm here to see if you'd like some girl scout cookies. The Samoa's are selling really well this year." Nick sasses while giving me his signature glare. I smirk. He's a sarcastic jerk, but he is funny. "Oh, well in that case..." I start and trail off, knowing it'll make him even more frustrated. He huffs and my smirk grows. "Why do you want me so bad?" I ask, honestly wanting to know. I watch Nick as he sighs deeply and clasps his hands in front of him. "Your skill set is equal to the best that we have. You would be an invaluable part of the team." He explains, but he knows that isn't what I mean. We stare at each other for a moment before he sighs again. "Your history only makes you more of an impressive subject." He continues and I groan. "The point is that you would help put an end to what happened to you, on a global scale." He says. "Think about it, Shifter." Nick drops a folder on the concrete and starts to walk back to the exit of the roof. I flip through the folder lazily, barely skimming the papers, but I know all of the names already. Once I've gone through most of it I stop and toss it in the dust behind me. Reading it was useless. I wasn't made to be any sort of hero. I DO NOT OWN THE AVENGERS. ONLY THE CHARACTERS AND THE SITUATIONS I CREATE.

"Nothing, it's just nice seeing you like this, I'm excited for you." He said looking away from you, a slight blush creeping up his neck. "Why thank you Buck," You smiled to yourself before going back to scrolling through the endless tweets speculating your identity. {-} TW: slight mention of scars started: 12/02/2021 finished: 30/03/2021 [a lot of people keep commenting abt it so no! there is no smut in this!] <3
