📍WASHINGTON. DC. 

          IN A LARGE GLASS MODERN MANSION, that sat on a cliffside, a man can be seen walking with his head turned in the opposite direction. 

He walked down the hallway before entering the dark kitchen. There was almost no light in the room. While pulling out the milk and placing it on the island, he opened the refrigerator, which produced a light. 

He looked at a figure that was sitting in the darkness, the only thing that could be seen was his eyes, which reflected in the light. He remained motionless on the table with his arm on top, as well as a weapon in front of him. It was the Winter Soldier. 

Pierce shut the door slowly, keeping his eyes fixed on him, "I am going, Mr Pierce." A woman's voice was heard in the distance, as she was walking close to the door, Pierce looking to the side, studying what she said. "You need anything before I leave?" 

"It's fine, Renata, you can go home," Pierce said with a worried tone as he continued to gaze at the Winter Soldier. 

"Okay. Night-night." Renata spoke, turning and going to open the tall oak door. 

"Good night," Pierce said. 

While Renata opened the door, Y/n stood on the opposite side with a gun pointed at her. She was wearing a red bodysuit along with weapons on her body, as well as a red face mask that covered her lower half. 

Y/n brought her finger up to her mouth, in a gushing motion looking at Renata before she kept the gun pointed at the woman who stood there frozen. Y/n entered the house slowly holding the pistol towards Renata once more, Y/n leaned silently against the wall. 

"Want some milk?" Pierce asked, looking over at the soldier. Renata closed the door behind her not saying anything, he opened a cabinet while facing away from the soldier. "The timetable has moved."

He started to move the glass onto the island before pouring the milk, "Our window is limited." He continued, before moving over and sitting in front of the man who didn't move, taking a drink from the milk. 

"Two targets, Level Six..." He said looking at the man in the dark, "They cost me, Zola...I want confirmed death in 10 hours." 

While getting up, the Winter Soldier turned his head and walked out the back door, the same way he had entered. Y/n peeked over the side then walked forward and moved her arm out, placing the gun to Pierce's head, he froze in fear. 

"If you touch that gun, I'll blow your brains out" Y/n muttered, digging the head of the assault rifle into his head as she drew closer to him. "You're going to tell me where is the Winter Soldier going-" 

He stared off into the distance, not saying anything, holding his hands on the glass of milk and waiting patiently for someone to help him. "I have been instructed to kill anyone in my way of completing my mission...and you are in my way-" 

While Y/n held Pierce in a chokehold while she shot his hand, Pierce groaned in pain dropping the pistol. She pulled her arm back, putting pressure on his neck and holding onto him while his hand bled on the table. 

"That was a command," she concluded. 

Pierce groaned in pain as Y/n pressed the gun's head into his injured hand, creating more blood to fall from his hand. "Where Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff are-" He muffled in pain, while Y/n let go of his neck. 

"Mr Pierce, I-" Ranta said, walking into the room once more. Y/n looked at her for a moment before holding the pistol in front of her and pointing it at Ranta. After pulling the trigger, three bullets flew out of the gun and struck Ranta, who fell to the ground as a result of the impact.
