"Kill him," the man ordered as he leaned in to whisper in her ear.
A girl no older than twelve looked at the man in front of her, sitting from across the table. He had a bag over his head and she could tell that he was whimpering but the girl didn't care. She glanced at the gun that lay in front of her before looking back at the man.
"Are you a soldier or are you not Fourteen?" the man asked in her ear from behind her. "I gave you a direct order Fourteen. Kill him."
The girl's hand twitched as she heard the man whimper again. She was tempted to just take the gun and shook the man. The man behind her sighed and stood straighter, before nodding to a man in a white coat.
"Mr. Pierce, a-are you sure?" the man in the white coat stuttered, looking over at the little girl that stood fierce and stoic, glaring at the man across from her. Alexander Pierce did nothing but glare at him, causing the man in the white coat to scurry towards the man in the table and pull of the sack on his head.
"You are going to watch as you put a bullet in his head," Pierce said angrily to the little girl before taking the gun from his waist and placed the barrel of the gun against the little girl's temple. "Kill him or I kill you."
"Please, please don't do this," the man begged, looking at the little girl, tears streaming down his face as his whole body trembled. "Please. I have a family. M-my daughter, she was just born."
The little girl then calmly turned her head to look at Alexander Pierce, the gun shifting so that it was now pressed against her forehead. She glared at him and picked up the gun on the table. She ignored the man whimpering, and lifted up the gun. Swiftly, she shot the man between the eyes, her own never once leaving Pierce before putting the gun back down. The man's body fell to the table with a thud.
Alexander Pierce smiled at the little girl before putting his gun back on his holster. "Good, now suit up and meet with The Winter Solider, you're going to kill that man's family and he's going to oversee."
Ignoring everything he was saying, the little girl turned her attention back at the dead man, his blood starting to seep from the bullet wound in his head. Her hand twitched again. She felt nothing as she stared at the life she just ended.
Yawning, Diana rubbed her eyes as she tried to stay awake. Taking a sip of her coffee, she looked at her watch again and grumbled when she realized that she was running late. The last thing she wanted was for Tony to tease her for running late. It was unlike her and she already knew that her boss would tease her relentlessly for whatever mistake she would make.
Taking another step when the line moved up a little, she looked to her side and smiled when she saw a familiar blond, a brunette beside the man. "Steve?" she asked, trying to get the man's attention.
It had been almost a week since she last saw Steve, at Tony's little Avengers get together. Although she hadn't seen him since then, she knew that she would be meeting him today, as Tony couldn't stop bragging about getting to play with Bucky's arm and Diana was the one to book off today on Tony's schedule to meet with him.
Talking with Bucky, Steve stopped mid-sentence when he heard someone call his name. Seeing the beautiful brunette he met when he visited Tony, Steve smiled charmingly at the woman. "Diana, how are you?" he asked.
Cheering up a little, her smile turned into a full out grin. "I'm good. I'm good. For a second there I was worried that I got the wrong person," she said with a small giggle before turning to Bucky. "Hi Bucky!"
Bucky just nodded at her stoically before looking around the bank.
Before Diana could say anything three men walked in, one shooting up the ceiling. The people in the bank then started to panic. Diana's eyes widened, but before she could react, Steve was pulling her close to him and directed her towards the desk. Her heart started to race and Diana looked at Steve in a panic, noticing that Bucky wasn't with him.
Knowing that he needed to get to Bucky did something that could endanger the people in the bank, Steve knew he had to act fast. If lives weren't at stake, Steve would have been okay with Bucky doing what needed to be done to stop these people. Even though he trusted Bucky with his life, Steve couldn't trust him with other peoples' lives because he was still trained by Hydra.
"What's happening?" Diana asked, panic evident in her voice.
Steve looked at Diana before he then started to look for Bucky. She could tell that he was examining everything before looking back at her. "Stay where you are," he said to her in a whisper before crouching and moving to where Bucky was.
"This is a hold up!" one of the men dressed in black said. "Everyone to the fucking ground or we shoot!" he yelled again. Women then started to whimper.
The other man held his gun as he way towards the bank teller. "Give me the fucking money. Where's the manager? We're getting into that safe."
The third man walked the line of people, who's backs were pressed against the counter and smirked at them, pointing his gun at them. They all whimpered at they stared at the end of the gun, women crying. The man then stopped in front of Diana, when he noticed that she didn't even flinch. Narrowing his eyes at her, he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her up. Noticing two men about to make a move from the corner of his eyes, the man then pressed his gun against Diana's temple. "Don't be a hero," he warned the two men.
Seeing one of the bank robbers making his way towards Diana, Steve instantly regretted leaving her alone. He should have brought her with him. At least she would have been safe between him and Bucky. Steve tensed when the man grabbed Diana. About to make his move, Steve taking note that Bucky was moving to stop the man as well, they both stopped when the man pressed his gun against Diana's head.
"Any body that dares to make a move, this lady's going to have a bullet in her head," he announced, looking around for a moment before keeping his eyes on the two men at the corner. Looking to his friends, he nodded at them and watched as they disappeared to the back. "You are beautiful," he whispered, using his gun to caress Diana's neck.
Glaring, Diana closed her eyes and tried to steady her breathing. She was not going to give this man the satisfaction of knowing how afraid she was. Her hand twitched as she tried to move her neck away from his gun. "Don't touch me," she whispered, her voice trembling a little. Looking over at Steve and Bucky, she gave them a pleading look before steeling herself.
Her eyes started to move, letting Steve know that she was planning something to make sure that he would react when she needed him too. Steve tried to warn her not to, knowing that it would get her killed, but she ignored the looks he was giving her.
Leaning in, the man then grabbed some of her hair and smelled it before leaning in, the barrel of his gun caressing her chest.
"You're going to regret doing that," Diana muttered, making the man laugh. As soon as he did, Diana moved, stepping on his foot, making him groan.
It was then Steve and Bucky made a move. The man, in his anger, took his fun and slapped her on the face with it, making Diana stumble backwards. Before she could hit the ground though, she felt a pair of arms grabbing her by the waist. Looking up, Diana's eyes widened when she saw Bucky having caught her.
Diana's eyes widened when the man lifted his weapon, about to shoot her. She closed her eyes, scared that the bullet was going hit her, Diana's eyes opened when she heard a clang. Standing there a little shocked when she noticed Bucky's arm in front of her, she realized that he had saved her and took the bullet for her.
Focused on Bucky, Diana nearly forgot about Steve until he took down the man. A little stunned, Diana knew that Steve would need Bucky to back him up. "Go, I'll be okay," she tried to reassure Bucky.
Bucky just looked at Diana for a moment before nodding his head and releasing his grip on Ana before making his way towards Steve to capture the last two men. Looking back at Diana for a moment, she smiled at Bucky before he turned and followed Steve to the back.
Making sure that the man Steve dealt with was unconscious, Diana then started to gather the petrified people, telling them to keep their hands up as they exited the building so the police knew that they were civilians. Looking back at where Steve and Bucky disappeared to, Diana lifted her arms and placed them behind her back as she left the building as well.
