The Assasin

Chapter Eighteen: New Beginning

One month later

Harley's POV

I sit in my designated room in shield and read my book, Fury wasn't exactly happy with me telling my story but I just called him a bitch and kept it moving

I sigh and bend the corner of my page before closing it and before getting dressed, I can't be in this place forever and just not do anything, fuck if I'm a highly trained assassin

I walk out of my room and down the hallways as some shield employees look at me in fear and disgust, I roll my eye and head for the main exit but a security guard stops me

I look at him and laugh before punching him, knocking him out cold before handling the others

I make my way to one of the cars in the garage  and break the window open and hop inside the car, I hotwire it before taking off and laughing at the security and Nick running out

I put my middle finger up at them before speeding off as I laugh hysterically

I walk into the museum of history and look around as I marvel at the artifacts and pieces of history, some of which I remember seeing as I grew up

I make my way to the military section of the museum and sigh as I look at every piece of memorabilia till I see what I was dreading to look at

The Captain America display

It has everything from Steve's time in the military, from descriptions of his first day in training to his suit being displayed next to Bucky's uniform with the rest of the team's being behind his

With nothing talking or even mentioning me...not even my uniform is there with them

As if I wasn't there for all of it

NOTHING

I look at the display with utter disgust towards it and myself, I remember being so happy to join the military...just to have my father be right all along

They don't care about me, I'm not equal

"Fury knew you'd be here" I hear a female voice behind me say but I don't respond I just continue to stare at the display

"It's a shame....from what I've heard from Steve, you were doing so much work as well...if not more than him" Natasha says as she stands beside me and looks at everything

"I did so much for this country just to not be remembered...or even celebrated...all because of things I couldn't control....the worst part is....." I start as I walk over to the Howard Stark remembrance display

I smile at the picture of my father from years ago

"My father had warned me.....and I didn't listen because I thought I could prove him and everyone wrong" I say as I touch the glass on the display

"You don't deserve what you've gotten...you deserve to be remembered" Natasha says as she comes over to me, I look over at her and she has a stone cold look on her face

"Do you ever show emotion....you have empathy but...you don't move your face to show it" I say softly as I look into her eyes, I see them shift away from mine before coming back and becoming cold again

"Stop resisting the Avengers team...make sure your remembered the way you want..and deserve to be...meet me outside" She says before walking off

I watch her walk off as her words sink in, she's right but her words aren't the only thing peaking my interest

I look at my fathers display and Steve's one last time before walking out of the museum
