"Steve! Why won't you let me go?"
"It's to dangerous. I don't want you to get hurt."
"I'm as strong as you, I have as good an aim as Clint, I can knock Tony out with three hits while he's in his suit, and I can kick butt better than Natasha!" Sarah pointed out.
"You may be able to do all those things but you're just not capable to go on this mission," Steve answered.
Sarah stormed off upset at Steve for what he told her.
Steve sat there feeling mad at himself for not trusting Sarah.
"Rogers, meeting room now!" Nick Fury sounded loudly into Steve's ear com.
Steve met Nick in the meeting room. He was unsure why Nick called him into the meeting room this late at night.
"Steve, we've located the terrorists. I need you to go stop them before they hurt anyone else. You have to go in a few days though because they think we know about them and where they are. You'll go in 3 days."
"Where are they located, sir?"
"Right now they are upstate but tracking there ware-abouts, they should be here in a few days. Don't tell Sarah any of this information because she will want to go help you."
"Sir, she was in the room when you first told everyone about the mission a few days ago. She'll want to go with me."
"I know, but it's too hard for her skill set. You and the rest of the team need to work with her for a few more months before she's ready for anything this challenging."
"Yes Sir."
Steve was worried about Sarah. Who knows what would happen to her if she were to go on that mission with him. She could get hurt- or worse.
"Steve! Are you even listening to me?" Fury sounded, well furious.
"Yes, Sir," Steve answered coming back to reality.
"Good. As I was saying, SHEILD has never had a skill set like Sarah's to work with. They don't know what to use her for. They only send her on the easy missions that sound like hard ones. That's why she isn't going to go on this mission, it's too hard for her."
"I told her she wasn't going with me but she thinks she can handle it. I don't know who to believe, you or Sarah. I mean your right she doesn't have the skills to do hard missions but she has some skills that no one else on the team has."
Steve left in utter confusion. He knew Sarah wasn't capable of handling this mission yet he knew how much stronger and faster she had become. He just didn't know who to believe.
Steve went to the kitchen a few nights later and got a late night snack. No one else was up so this was the perfect time to go onto the computers and check the mission one last time. He needed to know where exactly to corner the terrorists. He was doing this mission alone so he needed all the help he could get from any source possible.
Steve saw Sarah creep down to the kitchen to get a snack so he closed every file of the mission and shut the laptop before she get to him.
"What were you working on this late at night?"
"Mission tomorrow night. Just double checking everything to make sure I understand it all."
"Well don't ask for my help because you obviously don't even want my help on the mission that I am capable of doing."
"I wasn't going to ask for your help. Nick wants me to do this mission alone so I'm honoring his orders. This has nothing to do with you not being capable. I know you are, it's just that Nick doesn't think you're ready yet. Please understand that we only want to keep you safe. These are terrorists we are talking about! They won't go easy on anyone." Steve shut up knowing he had spoken too much.
"T-t-terrorists? You never told me they were terrorists." Fear entangled Sarah's face and words.
"I'll be fine. I've done this before. Go to bed its late," Steve told Sarah.
After she left Steve looked at the mission a little bit more before heading to bed. He noticed something odd and instantly fear coursed through his body.
