AN: I do not own any recognizable characters or settings. Spoilers for Captain America: The Winter Soldier.


Excerpt from: Skylines and Turnstiles

…Once he was out of hearing range, Cass spoke slowly as she looked up at the helicarriers, "He's… just like you said he'd be, Nick." Her slight arabic accent had come as a surprise when he first heard it. The base she grew up on had people from all over the world, but the man in charge of it was of arabic descent and she rarely ever left his side when she was younger.

"Self-righteous?" Fury suggested.

Cass walked to where the Captain had stood moments ago. "A good man." She said. Fury gave her a warning look, he didn't want to argue with her too. He signaled her to follow him back up to his office…


AN:This is only a small excerpt of Skylines and Turnstiles, which follows the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. It's not as centered around Cassandra Cain as After Dark is. There are spoilers every chapter. It's already up, I hope you like it! The dialogue and situations will be familiar. If you are looking for something more original, the third part of this series will be more original. There will be some repetitive information so it can be read as a stand-alone piece. Also in case anyone was wondering; arabic accents flatten and darken vowels. 'E' and 'i' especially aren't as sharp sounding as opposed to a normal american accent.

I'm planning to have two alternate stories connected to this. One where Cass finds Bucky soon after the events in CA:TWS. It'll be far more Cass Cain/Bucky Barnes centered. The other will continue to take place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in which case I'll have to wait for a film to come out to write it.

I am planning a Pietro Maximoff romance for the up and coming Avengers: Age of Ultron. It'll be entirely separate from this. Thanks again for taking the time to read this, I really appreciate it!
