POV: You are in the Marvel universe and everyone has a soul mate. It is rare to find your soulmate, so not everyone finds them. When you meet your soulmate and you first touch your whole life together flashes before both your eyes.

Description: You are Natashas best friend from the widow program. She needs your help to figure out who killed Nick Fury. You also meet your soulmate in a very unexpected and unprecedented way. But you are determined to make it work no matter the cost. Because if it’s true love, isn't that worth fighting everything for?

Notes: Y/n means Your Name. Y/FN means your first name. Y/LN means your last name. 

“Nat, are you sure about this?” you question as you walk into the hospital. She pulls up her hood as you pull your hair in down to shield you face, looking around to make sure no one made you two. “This seems like a sensitive time.” You mutter as you walk through the halls of the ER.  She looks over at you with a serious look in her eyes.

“We need people we can trust more than ever. We have no idea who killed Fury and I’m going to need all the help I can get.” You walk down the hall with Nat until you come up on a man looking in a vending machine. Nat walks up right behind him and he spins, grabs her arm and throws her into an empty room. You follow them in.

“Woah woah, slow down there Cap we are only here to help” You close the door behind you and calmly stroll over to stand beside Natasha.

“Where is it?” he growls as he presses Natasha up against the door frame. “and who is this?”

“It's safe, and she is a friend” Her eyes dart over to you as if to say “say something”

“My name is Y/N. I am an old friend of Natasha. We met...” You pause unsure how to continue but she gives you a slight nod.

“We met when we were kids, trained together if you know what I mean.”

Cap looks between the two of you and Natasha dips her head. “So you're telling me she's a trained assassin just like you? Great.” he sighs and shakes his head. He straightens his back as if to remember why we are here.

“Look I’m not going to ask you guys again, Where is it?”

Natasha looks back and stares straight into his piercing eyes “Where did you get it? Fury gave it to you. Why?” She ponders as recognition flashes in her eyes.

“What's on it?” He challenges

Nat rolls her eyes “I only act like I know everything, Rogers.”

I step up and hold up my hands in a defensive way and his eyes dart to you. “Look Cap, We are here to help, there are honestly not many people you can trust right now. Especially within S.H.I.E.L.D judging by your…. Incognito attire” You smirk and continue “So, your best option is to let me help. I’m an outside man who knows nothing, so you can trust me. Let me, let us help you.”

His eyes dart between you and Natasha before he lets go of her.

He blows a breath through his nose. “Fine, tell me what you know.”

Nat straightens her jacket and looks up “I know who killed Fury.”

Caps eyes go wide, as do mine. Nat didn't share this little tidbit of info with me yet.

“Most of the intelligence community doesn't believe he exists, The ones that do call him the Winter Soldier.” Cap sucks in a breath as Natasha continues “ He's credited with over two dozen assassinations over the last 50 years. Going after him is a dead end, trust me he’s a ghost story” Nat pulls up the left corner of her jacket to reveal a bullet wound. She lets her clothes fall back into place as she pulls a usb drive out of her back pocket. “Told you it was safe.”

Steve reaches for the drive and gently plucks it from her fingers. He looks over at you “Let's find out what the ghost wants.”

Some time later the three of you are walking through the mall. It's a large 3 story building with plenty of people around. “Good,” you thought, “easier for us to blend in.” The three of you are all dressed in civilian clothes. Steve has on a navy blue hat and hoodie with an army green jean jacket over it. You gave him some fake glasses as well to put the whole look together. Natasha has on a striped zip up hoodie and a pair of torn jeans. You on the other hand are wearing a modest sundress with small yellow flowers all over it and white doc martin boots. They are a few paces ahead so you jog a little to catch up. “Hey little legs here, care to slow down a touch.” Nat rolls her eyes and Steve huffs a small laugh. You steer the two of them over to the second story where the  apple store is so we can try to figure out what is on that drive.

“Good thinking y/n” Steve smiles as he walks up to an open Mac laptop. He slides the drive into the available USB port as Nat steps up to the screen. “The drive has a level six homing program, so as soon as we boot it up S.H.I.E.L.D will know exactly where we are in about 9 minutes. Starting now” Nat starts typing and her brows furrow “This drive is protected by some sort of AI. It keeps rewriting itself to counter my commands.”

You slide in next to her and whisper “Can you override it?” She looks over and shrugs her shoulders slightly. I motion for her to scoot over.

“Here let me try.” She moves to the left so you can take a try at the keyboard.

“The person who developed this is smart, but not smarter than me” You wink at Cap as he shakes his head. You keep typing trying to outsmart this AI.

Rogers glances around nervously “You said 9 minutes right…? Well we are at 7. Let’s try to wrap it up ladies.”

You stab the keys a little faster and finally it reveals where the drive was created. “Ah HA” you squeal triumphantly!  “Says here... Wheaton New Jersey.”  Caps eyes go wide and you look over to him

“What, you know this place?” His eyes go straight to the door, “I used to...now let's get out of here. Times up”

You pull the drive out of the port and slide it into your boot. “Damn dress doesn't have pockets.” you mutter as you leave the store front.

Cap’s eyes roam the bottom floor and then work their way up to the next two levels. He turns his head to talk to you two. “Nat, you go out the back door there to the south and get us a car. Meet us at the north entrance in 5 minutes, y/n stay with me and we will get that drive out of here.” Natasha bows her head and spins on her heel in the opposite direction and slips in with the crowd. You look around and can't see her anywhere.

Steve scans the second level again and whispers “Standard tac team, two behind, two across and two coming right at us.” His eyes dart around nervously and you slide your hand into his and nothing, no scene flashes before your eyes. So you now know he's not meant to be your soulmate but you can still have a little fun right? His body jerks a little but he doesn't pull his hand away. The two operatives in front of you are less than 5 feet away now.

“Calm down, you're going to make us,” you mutter under your breath. “Put your arm around me and laugh like I said something funny.” He looks at you with alarm “What?!” But he does as he's told and slides his arm around your waist then rests his hand on your hip.You shiver a little at his touch. You look up at him and he tilts his head into you and laughs. The two operatives in front of you walk by without a second glance. You smile as he holds you. “See, I told you.” He clears his throat and releases you. You chuckle a little at his awkwardness. You scan the room this time and locate the two across from you who are now heading in your direction as well. You backtrack a little and head to the escalator where you curse under your breath. You see the leader of this tac team heading up the escalator as you two are going down.

“Kiss me” You breathe as you caress his cheek. His eyes go wide but he catches on just like last time. He pulls you against him as you murmur “Public displays of affection make people uncomfortable.”

His eyes find the tac team leader and then they are back on you. He leans down as his lips crash into yours, gentle at first. Your body relaxes into the kiss, into him. You gently suck his bottom lip into your mouth and graze your teeth over him ever so lightly. You feel him pull in a breath slightly and return the passion by sliding his tongue into your mouth. The lead operative looks at you two but quickly looks away. Your hands wrap around his neck as he deepens the kiss but you pull back and smirk a little breathless.

“Not too shabby Cap.” He slips his arms out from around you but holds onto your hand.

“Not so bad yourself y/n” With hands still clasped you two make it out the north entrance without anyone looking at you twice. Nat is in a blue chevy truck, idling waiting for you two. You quickly drop Steve's hand and hop in the backseat. Natasha slides to the passenger side and Steve takes the driver's seat.

“Punch it” you grunt as you settle in the back. You move your legs around to try to get comfy but you kick Nats' seat. “Move your seat up, I may be little but not that little.” She laughs and slides up a little to give you some more room. You kick your feet up and close your eyes.

“Settle in, we've got a bit of a drive ahead of us” Cap sighs as we turn onto the interstate. The car starts to slowly lull you to sleep as you but before you fall asleep you ask “Cap, was that your first kiss since 1945?” For the first time you get a full laugh out of him. Natasha’s eyes dart from yours to Steves.

“Uh what the hell did I miss?”

Ignoring her, Cap asks. “That bad huh?” he shakes his head and glances back at you

“Not at all Steve, not at all” Your eyes slowly shut and you drift off to sleep with your thoughts on the way he kissed you back.

A few hours later you arrive at some sort of military bunker. You stretch your arms above your head and stifle a yawn. “We made it?” you ask as you sit up a little straighter. Nat looks back and rolls her eyes. “You get your beauty sleep in, Y/N?” You smirk and ignore her as you hop out of the car following Steve. “This is it.” Steve exhales as he walks up to the chain link fence.

“Where are we?” You question as you follow behind. Steve looks over at you as he shoulders his shield. “A place I used to call home.” You pick up the pace a little to catch up to his side. He furrows his brow, you look over “What is it? Something wrong?” He glances at you and Nat and says “This building is in the wrong place. You all three look at each other questioningly. You shrug your shoulders “Let's check it out”

Cap walks ahead grabbing his shield and smashes the lock. You step forward to walk ahead. “Well that's one way of getting in.” Once inside Steve walks over and flips the lights on. The fluorescent lights click and sputter on, like they havent been used in 50 plus years. Nat looks around and whispers “This is S.H.I.E.L.D” Steves' eyes roam the building but stop on a picture of a beautiful young woman. He glances at it for a split second but long enough for you to notice. 

He grabs a book shelf and slides it out, revealing an elevator. “That's not odd at all” you sigh, knowing you will be going down the elevator to check it out. The three of you step into the small space and you grit your teeth “This cannot be safe, when was the last time this was checked?” Steve smirks at you and winks “Scared are you?”

Ignoring him, you press the button to go down. The thing shudders and you gasp a little. Steve reaches over and lays his hand on your shoulder. “I know I am a trained assassin but elevators have always scared me” He looks down at you and gives you a knowing nod and smiles “Still human aren't we?” You give him a small smile in return.

The elevator finally comes to a stop and you all step out into a very old looking computer room. You and Steve walk over to the main board as Natasha walks the perimeter checking for any danger. You reach down and pull the drive out of your boot. You slip the thumb drive between your finger and plug it into the slot right next to the main screen, the only new tech in the room. The screen pops on and green writing begins on the screen.

 “Initiate system” the machine says in a computer tone voice. You and Cap look at each other and he nods his head slightly. You lean over the keyboard and type Y E S and then hit enter.

 The screen immediately goes blank, then the screen starts to form an image of a man's face, and starts saying “Rogers, Steven, Born 1918. Romanoff, Natalia Alianovna, born 1984. Y/LN, Y/FN, Born 1986.” Your eyes go wide “How the hell does it know that?!” Natahsa glances over and whispers “it must be some sort of recording.” The alien voice starts again “I am not a recording, I may not be the man I was when the captain took me prisoner in 1945. But I am.” Your brows come together “How is this possible? You know this thing Steve?” 

He looks around and starts to pace the small area “Arnim Zola was a German scientist who worked for the Red Skull. He's been dead for years” The robotic voice of Arnim starts again. “I was given a terminal diagnosis and science couldn't save my body. My Mind, however, was worth saving, on 200,000 feet of data banks. You are standing in my brain” Steve starts again.

“Hydra died with the Red Skull” The voice of Arnim interrupted “Cut off one head, two more shall take its place.”  As the voice continued on you started to walk around and check the area, there were so many old computer banks. This must be where they stored his mind all these years. The voice continued on “Hydra secretly infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D and has been feeding crisis and reaping war, and when history did not cooperate, History was changed”

“That is impossible.” You breathe out the breath you were holding. “S.H.I.E.L.D would have stopped you” The voice ignores you and continues on. “We won, Captain” Steve's face is set in a frown, you can feel the anger running through him “Unfortunately Captain” Says the voice “You will be too dead to hear the rest.” His eyes go wide as he looks to Nat. She looks up from her smartphone “Steve we got a bogey, Short range ballistic…. Fired by  S.H.I.E.L.D”
