Important Information: If you haven't read Borrowed Time or the Fairy and the Speedster, there may be a few confusing moments in here. If you haven't - Annabelle Winters is the twin sister of Ivy (OC from Borrowed Time/Fairy and the Speedster) and that Pietro Maximoff is still alive.

Washington D.C – 2014

Glancing between the photo in his hand and the woman he was hired to assassinate. He continued to watch his target, Alexander Pierce's words ran through his mind "Find her, make sure she has the drive and retrieve it then eliminate them"

He could see her through the window of her apartment, she was sat on the couch reading a novel he could not identify. Something about her seemed off however, given the information that she had just stolen she should be trying to sell it, not sit on it.

…..

Breaking into her apartment once he saw that she have the thumb drive in her possession was an easy feat. As he made his way through the apartment to where the blonde sat at her laptop as she repeatedly tapped the keyboard. The second his target realised that there was someone else in the room she spun around and tried to punch him, easily catching her punch and flinging her onto the ground. Kneeling over her, his metal hand wrapped around her throat and tightening the hold until her she stopped breathing and the small hands clawing at his arms fell limp to the ground. Getting off of the female he took the file from the laptop and made his way back to his handlers.

…..

"She is eliminated I assume" Pierce stated as the Winter Soldier stayed sat on the table in his apartment, watching as the assassin placed his gun on the table. "The timetable has moved. Our window is limited. Two targets, level six. They already cost me Zola. I want confirmed death in ten hours."

As his handler killed the cleaning lady the assassin made sure to keep the picture he had of his target completely hidden from the technically younger man. He did not know what it was about this image that drew him to keeping it, it may have been the way green and brown eyes stared him straight in the eyes as he killed her or the fact that she had broken both his arms in an attempt to get free, but something about her drew him to her.

Authors Notes:

New Story is up, I hope you enjoyed the chapter.

Next chapter is going to take place during Civil War (at the most recent chapter of Fairy and the Speedster)

This one is not going to be as fluffy as the Borrowed Time/Fairy and the Speedster.
