"You know, I still don't know how to dance."
My eyes flickered to the radar in front of me, tracking the movement of his plane, wishing he was here with me. Pretending I was with him. And maybe, if I closed my eyes, I would be. But the worst part was knowing. Knowing that I could go back, knowing that I could save him, and knowing that... I wouldn't. That I couldn't ever do that. Because this stupid wonderful boy from Brooklyn was ending the war of all wars. And I couldn't take that away.
"... I'll show you how. Just... Just be there."
I let my tears fall, the emotions fill my voice. I couldn't hold myself together any longer. Steve answered quickly, his voice shaking, but firm. Putting on a brave face.
"We'll have the band play something slow. I'd hate to step on your-"
The radio burst into static, and my heart stopped, dropping into my stomach.

"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.

~~~~~~ His thoughts are just there softly. Patiently waiting to be heard. Thoughts of me. "So tell me something else you think I should know..." I smile. I prop my chin on top of my folded hands.

Tie To Humanity
"Your hands are scarred from murder, and yet, I trust them completely." Her words ended and she stopped breathing. The red haired girl I had come to love, too late, was gone. As I took the dead spider into my arms, I heard the sound barrier break. Looking up, I saw the S.H.I.E.L.D hella-carrier prepare for landing in the field stained red with the blood of my beloved. I bent over and her body and started to sing the song she used to sing to her brother. The crunch was so deafening in the silence as Nick Fury stepped on my Winter Soldier mask. He didn't look very happy and neither did the two dozen men surrounding me with blasters trained at my head. Fury made one swift movement with his hand and two men strapped handcuffs to me and lifted me to my feet. As they led me to their flying prison, I turned around and whispered one last thing to her, "Mne zhal..." I'm sorry. ~~~~ Agent Natasha Romanoff and James (Bucky) Barnes are rewritten into a romantic action set after Captain America Civil War. This is one of the ways the story could have gone if Bucky had been blamed for the assassination of the king of Wakanda.Complete

"Cap, meet Agent (L/N). She worked directly under Agent Coulson before he passed, I'll leave you two to get acquainted," You offered your hand for the Captain to shake and he took it, giving you a small nod. "I know we haven't met formally only in passing if I remember correctly, but I'm sorry for your loss," he said sympathetically. "I met Coulson, he seemed like a good man." "He was," you nodded. "I don't know how much Director Fury has told you, but Agent Coulson was the main agent in liaison with SHIELD and the Avengers Initiative and well, since he's not around to take care of that anymore the duty seems to have fallen to me." "I see," he nodded. "I guess that means we'll be getting to know each other pretty well," "Like you wouldn't believe, Captain," you gave him a small smile with a nod. "I'll be working mainly with you and Agent Romanoff so we should be seeing plenty of each other." "Look forward to it, I'll see you around (L/N)," "(Y/N)," "What?" the Captain looked back at you confused. "My name, my first name, it's (Y/N). I like it better." "(Y/N)," he repeated, almost like he was testing it out to see what it would sound like coming out of his mouth. He scratched the back of his neck, looking down at the ground before making eye contact with you again.
