Steve got ready for his mission an hour early, for multiple reasons. He made sure he had everything he needed for the mission: shield, a just-in-case gun, and his ear com. When he had doubled checked to make sure he had everything, he went and got a little something to eat. He didn't know how long this mission would last so he was going to go prepared.

After he finished eating, he went and checked on Sarah. She was still in bed, to his relief, and sound asleep. She wasn't even moving.

"Steve, jet's here. Departure in ten minutes," Fury sounded in his ear com.

"10 minutes, got it." He hadn't yet left Sarah's room and took one last look at her before heading out the door. He knew he needed to get to the jet soon so Fury could go over the mission with him and get ready to take on the terrorists.

He left the room and headed straight for the elevator to get to the roof where the jet was. He thought he saw movement before heading into the elevator so he went and checked it out, to make sure everything was fine.

Steve returned to the elevator after checking out what happened and went to the roof. He met Fury on the jet and they went over the mission one last time before fighting the terrorists.

"Understand everything, Cap?" Fury asked Steve.

"Yes, Sir. Meet them in the local gym and pretend to workout but really I'm there to take them out. If they question why I'm there I say I have a deluxe gym pass and I get there outside of normal open hours."

"You got it. We are almost there so get ready."

Fury walked off to talk to the pilot when Steve heard a sneeze come from the other side of the jet. He walked over to see what it was but didn't see anything so he went back to his seat.

He heard the sneeze again a little while later and searched around and found Sarah.

"What are you doing here? I told you to stay at the tower with everyone else!" Steve whispered angrily.

"I'm sorry, Steve. It's just that I really wanted to go. I wanted to help you. We are partners and I'm not letting you do this mission alone!" Sarah spoke quietly so Nick Fury wouldn't hear her.

"I know we are partners but you should have stayed in the tower where it's safe. We are here now so suit up and help me. I'm sure I don't have to tell you anything about the mission since you probably already know everything about it."

"One question? Who are we fighting?"

"People from hydra. Stay close, they don't play easy."

Steve and Sarah went into the gym and found their positions. Steve would be on the treadmill while Sarah would be doing push-ups next to the treadmills.

"Ready?" Steve was so scared that Sarah would get hurt on this mission. He wanted to protect her, whatever the cost.

The terrorists walked into the gym after picking the door lock. They scanned the area making sure no one was there when they spotted Steve and Sarah.

"You work here?" One of the terrorists asked Steve.

"No, sir, I have a deluxe pass into this gym. I have privileges to be here after hours."

"I'm sorry to say but you are sadly mistaken. This gym doesn't have deluxe passes nor does any other gym in the city. Who are you?"

"People call me- Captain America! Now!"

Steve and Sarah both started to fight the terrorists. Ten men against two avengers. Steve knocked two of the men out with his shield while Sarah morphed into Sarah-Wolf and bit the men on their feet making them bend over so she could smash them into the wall. Sarah morphed again into herself and roundhouse kicked one of the guys in the side. He fell over and she and Steve finished him. The five remaining men surrounded Steve and Sarah. They were closing in on them when Sarah suddenly morphed and commanded Steve to hold his shield out. She ran onto his shield, bounced off, and kicked everyone in the face knocking everyone out and killing one of them. She morphed quickly out of breath and held Steve's shoulder for support.

Steve, thinking it was another terrorist, threw his arm back and hit him in the head- only to turn around and find that it was Sarah. He had knocked Sarah out.

"No! Sarah!" Steve was terrified. "Nick! Help down in the gym! Sarah and I got all the guys but I got one extra person." He was exhausted but the adrenalin was pumping in him so hard he couldn't sit still. "Hurry!"

When Fury got to the gym he saw Steve hovering over Sarah. "Steve, we need to get her to Bruce's lab, now. Carry her to the jet and I'll contact Bruce to let him know. We will get there asap."

Steve carried Sarah all the way to the jet and he didn't let his grip loosen the whole way back to Stark Tower.

When they got there, he went into Bruce's lab carrying Sarah in his arms.

"Please, take good care of her. Help her, for me." Steve collapsed and fell right asleep on the labs ground.
