TARGET DESIGNATION: Captain America. MISSION PARAMETERS: Far range assault. Target skilled in hand to hand combat. Avoid close combat fighting. Avoid direct engagement. The soldier waited, on the roof, where he could see the target through the crosshairs of his sniper rifle below. This was comfortable, routine after the confusion he’d experienced since arriving in New York. The mission was to take out SHIELD’s super soldiers, designated enemies by his superiors. That was all he needed to know. After that, once the targets were neturalized, he would report back in, and be stood down until his next assignment. 

It was, he believed, the first time he was meeting one of the most respected members of the avengers group that he had joined. A little less then a months time of joining, and it was silly that he had not introduced himself up until now. Shame on his part to be more focused on the job then learning of his new teammates. Approaching with the duel disk around his left arm, extending his right hand to offer a hand shake to the american hero. 

As Aurora walked into Steve in the hallway it was one of those strange moments that seemed to go in slow motion. It was like meeting your complete opposite. Captain America represtened all what people thought to be ‘good’, he was practically the face of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers. He was known for his justice and bravery. And here she was, walking around in a base she didn’t really belong. Straight from Hydra, belonging to a family that was deemed evil and known for the horros they had inflicted upon other students during her time at the academy. Two opposites meeting. Aurora felt like there wasn’t room for both of them at the same place, which might seem like a silly concept but he intimidated her. Especially since she didn’t have her heart manipulation anymore. She felt like she no longer had the upper hand. She could have taken down this super soldier within seconds (or so she thought) but now...She suppsoed he could take down a tiger quite easily with his strength. And the fact that the two of them now belonged to the same side just didn’t sit right by her.

Because this wasn’t the first time they met. She remembered him all too well. her brothers had let themselves be captured in order to give her a chance of escape. Aurora felt her heart ache while remembering that kindness. She had been able to escape. Until he had found her. He had been the one to take her to the academy.

“You.”
