Hey guys I figured I'd give it a shot at doing an Avengers story. First Chapter will be up soon I promise, and a big THANK YOU to Marie218 who's a good friend of mine and who also was willing to be my beta reader. Reviews are always welcome, it keeps me wanting to write. P.S. Chapters are longer then this prologue.
Three Years Earlier
"Sir!" I said sternly, but it fell on deaf ears. "Director Fury! Sir!" I all but shouted, which caused multiple heads to turn in my direction. I shrugged off their glares and straightened my posture as the Director glared at me with his one good eye.
"What is it, Agent Hill?" He asked with a gruff yet serious tone. Everyone could tell that he was already pissed off. Well he's just going to have to deal with more bad news, I thought to myself as I answered him.
"The target just dropped off of our radar." I said firmly, as I prepared for the storm that was heading my way.
"Is he dead?" Was the only thing he asked.
"No Sir, otherwise the tracker Agent Romanoff planted on him would still be showing up..." He cut me off there.
"What exactly are you saying, Hill?" His tone was grave. And I was the poor sucker that had to give him the answer he really didn't want to hear.
"He's just gone Sir! Either he found the tracker and destroyed it..." I paused for a second. "Or someone's deactivated it and has him in their possession." The director growled before opening a comm. link to someone. I sat back down at my computer and searched for the signal that had disappeared.
"Agent Romanoff, do you have eyes on the target? His signal's gone from our end." He nearly shouted into his mic.
"No, Sir! He just vanished!" The voice of a very pissed off red head answered him through the speakers.
"Romanoff get back to base now and bring all the surveillance images of the target with you. We need to know if there is another player involved." He was beyond pissed. Especially since one of our best agents lost him. "Agent Hill!"
"Yes Sir?" I asked turning back to face him.
"Let the other agents know that we have lost one of the deadliest people on this planet."
"Sir... Who should I tell them we lost?" It was known as Operation Winter but no one except for the Director, Agent Romanoff, Agent Coulson, and myself knew his name. The Director let out a heavy sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Tell them that..." He paused, not really wanting to give the name. "The Winter Soldier is off the grind." As soon as the name left his lips, there was a collective gasp that rang through the room.
