' "Put her down, Bucky." It was Steve. Staring up into Bucky's eyes that were now glued to the captain, Brenna saw the soft blue turn to steel. A low growl grumbled in his throat. He gently placed her back onto her feet, whipping a knife out of his belt. He pushed Brenna behind him protectively. Backing away with caution, Brenna could only watch as the suspense rose. "Don't make me do this," Steve pleaded, his voice sounding tired. But Bucky was gone once again, taken control of by the Winter Soldier. And the only thing that mattered now was completing his mission. The two lunged for each other. ' • • • Brenna Halliday Stark. She'd never dreamed that one day she would have superpowers; that one day, she would kill. One day, she would fall in love with an assassin under the control of HYDRA. But it happened. What starts as innocent curiousity almost costs Brenna her life many times. However, with new abilities arrising seemingly everyday, she becomes an incredibly powerful opponent. Including her grettest ability yet: the power to calm and even heal the Winter Soldier. • • • Takes place mostly during The Winter Soldier and the unfilmed events after that movie.

She looks so pretty. I never understand how lucky I was to have met her, to be the one to hold her at the end of the night, to be there with her and for her in every way. I love her so much. "Reid?" Hotch asks me a question and I guess I'm distracted because I don't hear him the first time. Her hair looks cute when it's pulled behind like that. "Reid?" He asks again trying to find where my glance is. Before finding it he chuckles and understands, I've been staring at Y/N. "Enjoying the view doctor?" He says jokingly as I turn back to pay attention. "Sorry Hotch, ahem, what were you saying?" I ask adjusting the glass in my hands. "I was asking about you and Y/N," He says pointing to her with his beer "But I guess you just answered my question." "And what's that?" I ask taking a sip of my water. "You're happy Reid. I can see it in your eyes." I look down at my mismatched socks, blushing ever so slightly. "You're right." I say, "I am happy. I just feel so compatible." "I don't believe two people could ever be perfect for each other but, damn she's the closest fucking thing. Pardon my language. Did you know that researchers at the University of Texas asked 167 couples how long they'd known each other before dating, and on average the couples had known each other four months beforehand and around 40% were friends first. Y/N and I were friends first yeah, and we'd only known each other a couple months, but I'll never forget the first time I saw her thinking how much she'd be a part of my life. Look at me I'm rambling." I chuckle at Hotch's face in surprise. "Wow Reid, I've never heard you talk about a woman like that. She's special huh?" We look back to her and Rossi. "Yeah," She looks back and smiles, "really special." ... Japanese Denim by Daniel Ceaser is what inspired me, the title is directly in the lyrics and Spencer Reid's feelings can be linked to the first half's lyrics from Genius.
