Chapter 1

Steve Rogers woke with a jolt. He gasped, then realized that he wasn't trapped under the ice, suffocating. "Just a dream." He sighed. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. He was not at all prepared for what happened next. his bedroom wall exploded inwards, throwing Steve off the bed and on to the floor. He groaned and stood up, blinking wall dust out of his eyes. Then he saw a girl laying in the wreckage. She coughed, then slowly stood up, brushing the dust from her clothes. Then she saw Steve.

"Oh, so this one's your apartment." she said.

"Hello to you to. What exactly are you doing?!" Steve asked.

"Running from people who want to kill me. Want to help?" She swung a bow off her shoulder and shot an arrow through the new hole in Steve's wall. Steve watched as it arched around the hole and hit a man wearing all black who was climbing into the hole.

"Do I have a choice?" He asked when he saw two more guys in black swing through the opening.

The girl smiled. "Not really." the men slung machine guns off their shoulders and opened fire, but the girl was faster than them. Way faster. She was all but a blur as she took down both men with a single blow.

"I don't see what you need help with." Steve said, grabbing the pistol he kept under his pillow.

The girl snorted. "Just wait till you get outside." Then she ran out of his bedroom and out the front door.

"Hey!" He shouted, running after her. "Where are you going?"

"The roof." she said, as if that made perfect sense.

"Uh, why?" Steve asked as she opened the door to the stairway and ran up. Well, it was probably jogging for her but Steve could barely keep up.

"Because that's where they want me to go." the girl said, kicking open the door to the roof.

The building was surrounded by a dozen black helicopters. Two dozen men stood on the rooftop, and as soon as the girl stepped out of the stairway they aimed their guns at her.

"Captain?" It was Agent Barton. "What are you doing?"

Steve looked at the girl. "Wait, you're running from S.H.I.E.L.D.? Why didn't you say that?"

"Captain, that girl is a Priority Ultra threat. Step away." Barton said.

"Sorry about this." The girl said.

Before Steve could make heads or tails of anything, the girl had him in a choke hold and had his gun pressed against his head. "Dang, girl."

"If you shoot he goes down with me." She said, clocking the gun.

"What do you want?" Barton asked.

"Protection." the girl said.

"Protection from who?" Barton asked.

"Myself." The girl let go of Steve, who immediately whirled around and punched her in the face. She spun around from the force and landed on one knee. Her lid began to bleed, and she wiped it with her finger.

"That should have knocked you out." Steve breathed.

The girl got this evil glint in her eye. "You asked for it." she said. She stood up, but something stuck her in the neck. She angrily pulled out the tranquilizer dart. "That doesn't work on me, idiot." She snarled at Barton, who held the dart gun. She walked towards him, but suddenly there was a wall of light surrounding her.

"Energy barrier secured." A voice came from one of the helicopters hovering above the building. " Engaging sleep gas."

"Wait!" She exclaimed, but it was too late. The gas began to take effect, causing her to fall to her knees. She held her breath, but it was no use. Her head hit the floor, and she was out.

"Thanks, Captain." Agent Barton said holstering the dart gun. "You gave us just enough time."

The barrier fell away, and a few men ran over to her limp body. One of the helicopters landed on the roof and they loaded her in, strapping her into a seat.

Agent Barton beckoned Steve over to the helicopter. Steve slowly walked over, his legs wobbling a bit. He sat down in the helicopter, trying to make his vision stop spinning.

"You alright?" Barton asked.

"Just a bit dizzy..." Steve said, but he was already fading. The world swirled with colors, then everything went black
