Harley's POV

I sit on the bed as I stare down at the picture of my father, he was murdered by someone...I don't know who they are or if they are alive but they won't be breathing when I see them

You took my parent and I'll make sure to take your life when I-

My dark thoughts were interrupted by Natasha coming out of the bathroom with a towel soaking up the water in her hair, she looks at me and the picture in my hand before sitting down next to me

"Looks like I'm not the only one who's mind is....spiraling" She says and I laugh a little

"Maybe but I asked you first....what's wrong" I say and Natasha looks at me almost doe eyed, as doh eyed as a trained assassin can look

"When I first joined shield...I thought I was going straight..I guess I just traded the KGB for hydra........I thought I knew what I was telling but....I guess I can't tell the difference anymore" Natasha shares and I sigh

"I know what you mean......fought hydra on the first mission that made Steve and I prominent to the media....well made Steve prominent in the media......I never thought I'd become what I was fighting against...there's a chance you might be in the wrong business " I say and Natasha nods her head with a chuckle at the end

"I owe you" Natasha says and I frown at this

"You owe me nothing...if anything I owe you, if it wasn't for you...I wouldn't have agreed to be on the team" I say and Natasha smiles at me slightly

"If it was the other way around and it was me that had to save your life, can you be honest with me...would you trust me to do it" Natasha ask and I look at her

I start to get lost in her beautiful eyes as she stares at me expectingly

"I would now...and I'm always honest" I say and she cracks a smile once again causing me to do the same

"Well you seem oddly chipper for someone who just found out they died for nothin" Natasha says and I sigh

"Honestly...with this country.....it would have been the same outcome no matter if Shield and Hydra became one...just wish I could figure out what everyone knows but me" I say before looking back to Natasha who hesitantly grabs my hand

We stare at each other for bit till our moment is interrupted by Steve

"Sam made breakfast" He says as she stares at our connected hands then to our faces, I nod and get up without letting Natasha go

"You ready to eat" I say and she nods before getting up as well and heading out the room past Steve

"Don't mess with her...ok" He says seriously and I chuckle

"Don't get in my way again" I say before shoulder bumping him as I walk out

We all sit and eat as we discuss what the hell is going on

"So the question is, who at  Shield could launch a domestic missal strike" Natasha says as I eat my food like I haven't eaten in days

"Pierce" Steve responds causing me to sigh

"Who happens to be sitting on top of the most secure building in the world" Natasha responds and I drop my fork

"He's not working alone, his only algorithm was on the lumarian star" I say causing them to look at me

"So is Jasper Sitwell" Natasha says and I shake my head in disbelief

"So the real question is how did the two most wanted people in Washington kidnap a Shield officer in broad daylight" I say as I watch Sam who's moving extra weird

"The answer is...you don't" Sam says before putting a file on the table, I grab it as Steve reaches for it and open it up

"What is this" I say

"Call it a resume" Sam says and I nod before looking through it, Natasha and Steve come over to me and look it over as well

"Is this a backlog, calacondeal mission..that was you...you don't say it was a pararescue " Natasha asks looking at Sam

"This Riley" Steve asks as he points to the picture and Sam confirms it

"Heard they couldn't bring in the choppers because of the RPG's..what you use a stealth shoot" Natasha explains and I lean back in my chair

I feel her hands make there way in my shoulders as I look at Sam

"No..these" Sam says before handing Steve the file I was looking at briefly

"Thought you said you were a pilot" Steve says amused and Sam smiles a bit

"I never said pilot" Sam responds and I sigh

"I can't ask you to do this Sam...you got out for a good reason' Steve says and I look to Sam

"You one badass mothafucka huh" I say and Sam smiles at me before looking to Steve

"Look...Captain America needs my help...there's no better reason to get back in" Sam says and I smirk a little

"Where can we get our hands on one of those things" I ask Sam as I lean my head on Natasha's stomach a bit

"That was is at Fort Meed, behind three guarded gates and a steel wall" Sam says and I shrug

"Fair enough, I remember how to get in and out no matter the person that's gotta drop in the process..what's the address' I say with a slick smile

"Shouldn't be a problem" Steve says before putting the file on the table, showing the exo Flacon label on it
————————————

I hold my knife large sword in my hand as I walk with Steve and Natasha on the roof of the building, we cornered the guy that is helping Pierce with his operation

"Tell me about Zola's algorithm" I say as I stalk toward the guy angrily who Steve by my side

"Never heard of it" He says and I scoff

"What were you doing on the Lumaire star" Steve asks as we walk him closer and closer to the edge of the building

"I was throwing up, I get seasick" He says as he reaches the edge of the building, I flip my sword between my fingers as I look at the guy frustratedly

The guy almost falls but I catch him with one hand before he can and pull him close as I glare hard at him

"Is this little display to insinuate that your gonna throw me off the roof...because it's really on brand for Americas traitor" He says and I smile evilly before bringing my knife to area in his leg where his tendons are

"It's is" I say as I slice his leg and he screams in pain

I let him go and he struggles to stand a bit causing me to smile

"But it's also hers" I say and before he can react, Natasha kicks him hard in the guy causing him to fly off the edge

I look over the edge and smile a bit before turning to Natasha

"I'm oddly turned on right now" I say and Natasha rolls her eyes before a smile creeps up on her face

Suddenly Sam flies up with the guy holding on dear life, I smile look at the man with a smile

"Can I kill him now" I ask as Sam lands beside us

"No" They all say causing me to roll my eyes and put my swords away

"Buzzkills" I say as I fold my arms

A/n well damn, anyway I'm sorry if some of the dialogue that they say is weird or messed up, it's hard to hear them sometime because they talk fast and the line run together so I apologize for that

Enjoy:)
