Chapter 12

Natahsa POV

The sunset soothed my anger as I sat on the roof of the tower, not even 5 hours after we got out of Brody's prison. The bastard was working for HAVEN the whole damn time. I was angry at myself. I couldn't save myself or Steve and someone else had to come save me. I wasn't surprised when we landed at the compound and fifty HAVEN goonies decided to come out and shoot us with tranquilizers.

When I woke back up I realized that I was in a cell chained to the wall with metal Shackles. These guys were smart. But not smart enough. They removed all of my weapons so I was screwed.

"What are you doing up here?" I was knocked out of my day-dream like thing when Clint's voice reached my ears and he sat down next to me while handing me a beer.

"Just thinking." I shrugged and took a sip of the beer. He looked at me funny.

"Since when do you ever, 'Just think?'"

"Since today." He sighed heavily and dropped his head.

"You know, your missing the party." He looked back up at me and I shrugged.

"Don't feel like being near people right now." I looked back at the city as I took another sip of the beer.

Sarah POV

Steve laughed as Thor told another joke. Why he didn't go with us was beyond me but I finally got to meet Jane today. We had a nice conversation about science and astonomy before we set out to find our signifigant others. Steve saw me and immediatelly pulled me into his arms while he smiled at Thor and Jane as the man did the same.

"So, Lady Sarah, Steve told me that you went and saved him and Natasha today. Is that correct." Thor asked while leaning his side that Jane wasn't on into the bar.

"Yes it is. I was wondering where you are but we had it covered thankfully." I smiled at the man twice the size of me and felt Steve tighten his arm around my waist. We talked to the two for a while before I yawned and Steve was walking me up to my floor. "What was that about down there?"

"I don't know what you are talking about." He was avoiding the question.

"Yes you do. Why did you get so possesive?" I stopped him before we got to my door.

"I don't want to remember today. Just, can we go to sleep and not talk about it?" I reached up and brushed some hair from his face as it fell into his eyes.

"I don't want to either, but hell, Steve, how can I not? I killed someone today." He sighed and opened the door before picking me up and walking in. He sat down on the couch after we were almost attacked by London.

"That man you killed was going to kill you," I opened my mouth to object but he beat me to speak. "He was going to kill Nat, Tony, all of us if you didn't kill him. Someone had to." I looked down and tears started flowing from my eyes. I loved the man I killed at one point.

"I used to love him." Tears wouldn't stop flowing so finally Steve had enough of it and wiped them away before slowly kissing me. I guess he didn't know what to say after that.

Brody was working for HAVEN the whole time. The agency was a branch off of SHEILD before the leader went rouge. They kill innocent people. Explains why he was always gone for 'work.'

But none of that matters, I may have blood on my hands but it sure as hell isn't innocent.
