It was snowing outside and it was definitely cold. Micky arrived late to her apartment because of the traffic. She had her sweatpants and a long sleeved shirt for the dancing classes and he had a beanie and a jacket for the cold. She went to check the mail box and shook her head to shake off some snowflakes. Another guy was by the mail boxes too. Micky had never seen him before so she cocked her head as she looked at him in confussion and curiosity. He noticed the stare and looked up, he smiled at her

 He noticed the stare and looked up, he smiled at her

"Hi, sorry, are you new here?" Micky asked curiously

"Is it that obvious?" He asked "I just got here today" he pulled out his hand for Micky to shake "Daniel Calvin" he introduced himself

"Mikeyla Stilinski" Micky said "Welcome to the building. It's nice here, really peaceful"

"Thanks. So what floor are you in?" He asked

"4th. You?"

"Me too" he said and started walking towards the elevator. Micky followed too "So, what's your story, Mikeyla?" He asked "Wait, let me guess. Moved from a town, studying college, probably arts?" He tried to guess by looking at her clothes. Micky let out a breath laugh

"Almost right" she said "Sociology and Political Sciences. I'm from Beacon Hills, California"

"Really? I'm from Cali too. Napa" he said. The elevator arrived and they got in together

"So, let me guess about you. Moved here for college, studying... some kind of science. You're not a freshmen so you probably had a roomate and didn't get along" Micky guessed, Daniel chuckled

"He would bring girls everytime and I would have to wait until they left so I could come in. Not the best roomate, really" he explained "And I'm actually studying Aerospace Engineering"

"Sounds incredibly hard" Micky said impressed

"Not really" he said with a shrug

The elevator stoped and the doors opened in their floor. They each walked to their apartment doors

"Nice meeting you, Daniel. If you ever need help with something and I'm around feel free to ask" Micky said with a kind smile

"Thanks. Same goes for you. Good night, Mikeyla" Daniel said

"Goodnight" Micky said and entered her apartment

She quickly took a shower and changed to her pajamas. She didn't bother with dinner because she was too tired, so she settled with a tea. Life was boring without Bucky around, but she managed to keep herself busy. She had accepted to enter a dancing contest and she was also constantly visiting the shelters where the animals from Holland Animal Shelter were being kept. With that, friends, work and school, she managed to keep herself busy. At least until night, when she felt completely alone.

Micky arrived to the studio early on Saturday to practice a little, she was still trying to get a partner for a contest but had no luck. Surprisingly, as she arrived, she saw Daniel talking to Mrs. Liddell

"Hey there" she greeted with confussion in her face but still smiled

"Neighbour, what a surprise" Daniel said

"You know each other? That's good. Daniel has won local dance contests in Napa. Maybe he could be your partner for the contest" Mrs. Liddell said

"You compete?" Daniel asked Micky

"Recently, yeah" she said

"You should give it a try. Go go" Mrs Liddell ushered them to the dancing room and they got in

"So, are you following me or...?" She asked him taking off her hat, gloves and jacket. Daniel laughed

"Not exactly. I saw your dancing clothes the other night and I thought it would be good to get my past hobbies again. I had no idea you came here, it was just close to the building" Daniel said

"Well, let's test how rusted you are. What do you dance?" Micky asked

"I was good at tango" he said with a smirk, Micky could see right through his cocky smirk, he was the kind of guy who could get whatever he wanted. She raised an eyebrow and smirked too

"Let's see that" she said and put music

She walked and stood in front of him, she extened her right hand and Daniel grabbed it stretching their arms slightly up, he then sneaked his right hand around her waist and brought her closer with a sudden pull, their chests touched and he started moving. Micky was a little bit resistant to comply and let him guide. Daniel ran her hand through her back and leaned to her ear

"I can't guide if you don't let me" he whispered in her ear

Micky shivered slightly but relaxed and let herself be guided, something about his aura made her trust him, at least enough to let him guide. They danced around the room trying new moves, Daniel grabbed her leg and carried her some steps before setting her on the ground and twirling her. Micky dropped to the ground and then slowly stood up sliding her back against Daniel's front. Daniel received her with his right hand stretched out grabbing hers and his left hand arounf her middle. He had leaned sligjtly towards her neck and his breath tickled her. Tango was all about teasing each other with soft touches, close proximity and ghosts of kisses. He the twirled her around again and stepped a little before dipping her perfectly. They stayed in that position for a while before he helped her up

"So, did I pass?" He asked with a smile. Micky smirked at him

"You did"

Two weeks passed by and now it was the middle of January. Daniel and Micky had practised and became really good friends, to the extent in which they usually eat lunch together but they hadn't entered each other's apartments. It was still refreshing to have something else to focus in for Micky

Micky was in a cafe sipping on her coffee while reading some files she needed for a project. Suddenly two men sat in the same table than her, both with dark hair, one with brown eyes and one with green eyes. She eyed them confussed

"Can I help you?" She asked

"Yes, actually you can" the man with brown eyes said and moved his jacket so Micky could see the gun he had. Micky stiffened, she eyed the two men carefully. Both wore smirks

"What do you want from me?" She asked with a stotic face and voice, trying to hide her fear

"This is no place to discuss that. We have to ask you to come with us" green eyes said

"Yeah, I'll stick with no" Micky said, her sass coming naturally

"Such a shame. We didn't want to kill anyone today" brown eyes said

"To think how peaceful the place looked, oh well" green eyes said and reached into his jacket to pull out his gun

"Wait" Micky said. She looked around, no one had noticed anything "Ok, fine"

"Let that coffee go on us" brown eyes said and pulled out 20 dollars and put them in the table

The two men stood up and so did Micky, heavily glaring at the two. The men each stood at either side of her and green eyes put his hand in Micky's back pushing her forward. The three walked out and towards a black car

"Black car? Really? How original" Micky sassed

"Shut up and get in" brown eyes said. Green eyes opened the back door and motioned her to get in. Micky slid into the car but before closing. Brown eyes took her purse "Just in case" he said

Micky glared but didn't talk. They closed her door and brown eyes went to the drivers seat while green eyes got in the back with her

"And just to be sure" green eyes said and quickly brought a napkin to Micky's mouth and nose. She squealed and tried to yell, she tried to fight back but the acid smell entered her nose fast. Before passing out, she heard green eyes say that one phrase that made her blood run cold "Hail Hydra"
