The Winter Soldier stared at Pierce with his cold, calculating grey eyes." The man on the roof, the one with the shield, give him to me and I'll make sure all HYDRA's endeavor succeed."
Pierce swallowed audibly. "What are your intentions with Captain Rogers?" Not like he actually cared about the blond but The Asset never asked for anything before.
"If you must know. I want him as my Spouse. A pretty face to come home to after a mission. And hopefully the one to carry my children." He tossed a silver choker to Pierce. "His betrothal gift. Give this to him" before disappearing into the night.
The next day a battered and bruised Steve Rogers sat on his motorcycle after the blitz attack on the elevator, analysing the choker Pierce had given him. A silver medal hung from it. The medal was adorned with a star made from pure rubies. 'Who is this guy, and what does he want from me? And what is on that flash drive' he wondered.
He had Natasha scan it for anything suspicious, while they got into their inconspicuous clothes.
"This Winter Soldier guy must really want to marry you." She said after declaring it clean.
"M..marry?" Steve could feel himself blushing.
"Yeah this Russian inscription says ' My husband, my beloved, my life.'"
The metal was cool against Steve's neck. He was walking in a crowded mall with Natasha on their way to recover the flash drive's secrets. She said it would be better if he wore the choker just in case SHIELD caught up with them.
Once they reached the computer shop she turned to Steve.
"We'll have nine minutes until SHIELD and your fiance catch up with us."
He visibly blanched but nodded. 'I really don't want to get married today,' he thought as Nat plugged it in.
Hours later a SHIELD operative ran up to The Winter Soldier. "We found him. Camp Lehigh, he's been hurt."
The Soldier's glare was murderous. " если что-нибудь случится с моей любовью , это будет ваш скрыть (if anything happens to my love , it will be your hide) " he snapped. Taking a deep breath he headed towards the same hospital his actions had placed Fury in earlier in the week.
Steve awakened disoriented and groggy. Everything was blurred but he could tell he was in a moving vehicle. As he tried to get up Rumlow who had been sitting at his side pushed him back down.
"Easy Cap we had to use a lot of morphine."
"What happened?" Steve asked.
"Zola. He was not aware That The Asset has claimed you and blew up the bunker. Widow got away after you blocked the blast. You on the other hand have three broken ribs, a sprained ankle, and more cuts and bruises than I care to count."
Rumlow's phone began to beep. "It's The Asset. He's been texting me every five minutes. I think it's time for you to have more sedatives all the stress is not good for you. When you wake up you'll be in HYDRA'S private hospital wing healing with your fiance watching over you."
