Do I Know You?-(Steve Rogers x Reader)

4. 'Assassin'

*HUGE TIME SKIP TO 2014 brought to you by ✨ice✨*

I was sat still, arms to my sides, legs straight, feet on the floor. The bed was uncomfortable, my back ached, and I didn't know the last time I had eaten food. My stomach was empty and kicked me each time I stood, to remind me to feed it. Memories were coming back to my tired, withered brain. Cautious thought made me question everything. How did I get here, all I could remember was my time here. If I even had a time when I wasn't here.

Sleepless night carried on the days, I knew the soldier in the cell off afar from me suffered with the same thing. He screamed in his sleep, it was almost calming to hear. Knowing that I wasn't being hurt, tortured and drained of energy on my own. At night everything circles my brain, the people Id killed, the thought of being tortured and experimented on. Thoughts of never getting out of this building, of never knowing what was behind this cell, and these lab walls.

I knew it wasnt just me that was being tested to their limits, the Winter Soldier, the man himself. Him that was a few cells away. There were others they had tried to test on, it didnt work. All of them too strong for their own good, having to be frozen. Never being woken up since. They were hard work listening to the constant yells of them killing scientists, and guards. Throughout my, what I found out to be many years, here.

After being here for 10 years I managed to kill my father. Apparently as I was told by a strange man, family is important and many people would be sad and angry to see that their father was killed, never mind that it was them who killed him. I didn't feel anything, I didn't even know he was my father. It's better that way. He never came up much so he wasn't important, I thought.

Missions had been set for me and the Winter Soldier, he was almost like a partner. We never talked, slight actions were made and sometimes the slight word, other than that silence was the best way to go. We had nothing to say to each other anyway. Being independent we both went our own way and did all we could to make sure the mission was finished.

Today, a mission was set for us both, together. It was often we got them, I'd learnt that once I blacked out, that wasn't me. I could remember bits that happen often when I'm trying to sleep, first they started of as nightmares then they became realer. I asked the scientist what it was, why was it that I was having these. He said it was when Bestia takes over. I didn't know who Bestia is, and to be frank I didn't want to either.

Assassinate Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

I was taken towards the lab where they read the words to make me into Bestia. They did the same to make the man into The Winter Soldier.

I was lead towards a black van, inside were 4 guards including the driver. Each were carrying Glock 17s, they had a large amount of body armour on; incase things got out of hand. They relied on the soldier side of us, although if something went wrong they would need other men to take care of anyone in the way.

Alexander Pierce was the man that supported us with the information we needed. He was on the inside, giving us orders. The intel Pierce had given us showed where he would be giving us time to kill him. S.H.I.E.L.D. has been HYDRA for years, none of these agents were aware. HYDRA wanted control over the world, they could make it better I was told. Pierce can do this for us, I was told. I didn't know if they were correct, but we were doing what we could for the world.

As long as I was doing something good, not that I really had a choice. I was commanded, I didn't get an opinion. Nobody wanted to know what I thought of the situation, I was just there for killing and their dirty work.

I was told about a man, he produced evil in the world he tried to attack HYDRA destroy it, he killed our hope Johann Schmitt, our real leader. Helping us produce myself and the other soldiers. He supplied us with the science to make changed to our body. The man trying to destroy HYDRA his name. Captain America.

After Fury, Captain America was our next mission. He was a threat to HYDRA, someone going to destroy all the good that was to happen to the world and the people on it. The man was dangerous and HYDRA knew what he was capable of, that's why they had to make me and the soldier ready to fight him. Thats why we were kept from him for so long, to make sure we would and could defeat the man.

Inside the van was a small computer system, it would be useful for the men to track Fury and make sure we wouldn't miss him. Around the sides were small comforted seats that felt so much better than the floor or hard bed we would be on, in normal conditions. Slowly, we began preparing everything we would need for the mission, I loaded my gun. Soldier loaded his as well, but with a disc grenade.

We all were sat staring straight in front, I looked at the other real soldier. His face blank, a trapped boy lived inside his eyes. Mine the same, but nobody was trapped in my eyes though, my life had been ripped to the seams. Nothing to live for anymore, just an experiment thats all I was. A damn good one too, not to sound self-centred.

Bucky was equally as good, he would always get the best credit. I never understood why, we both did the same things. Killing, injuring, torturing, destroying. When he came along he was immediately favourited, if I did something they would see if he could do it. Whether it was first, second or third time it was him that was awed over. I however was given little appreciation whatsoever. I proved myself I could do things everyday, none of these scientists, or guards could do what I did. Yet no I was just the first soldier, nothing special about that.

We arrived near where Fury was, in Washington, d.c. a small alley arrived on our left. The van turned down it and parked. Bustling streets and pavements were situated in front of the buildings. Two main guards looked at the computer to check on Fury's location, he was approaching them and fast. Me and the other soldier rushed out I picked up my loaded Steyr SPP, whilst he picked out his loaded MAC-10. We walked to the middle of the road.

Ahead of us was Nick Furys, now damaged, black SUV heading towards us. I looked towards my partner, nodding my head slightly. It looked as though the driver had only noticed us as he didn't stop as he was coming closer. The Winter Soldier shot a disc grenade at the car, it exploded moving the SUV into the air and it started coming towards us. Although we both got out of the way unharmed.

After this we walked towards the car, eyes straight ahead staring at Fury's bald head. We had him, although he was alive he wouldn't be for long. I ripped the bullet patterned car door off and threw it away not knowing what was in that space before. When I crouched down to look in the car nothing was their except a deep, newly dug hole. I kicked the car in defeat, then me and my teammate walked back to the van we were in to be taken on our next mission, or to where we would assassinate Fury next.
