I wake up on Monday to the sound of my phone beeping incessantly. It wasn't my alarm- it was too damn early for me to be waking up, instead I find millions of texts from Nat and who I'm guessing is Steve, all along the lines of this
3:00 A.M
Black Widow
T, don't come into SHIELD. Whatever you do stay away from every SHIELD agent and base, except for us- trust us.
3:08 A.M
Unknown number
I can trust you, right? Please, Tatyana, tell me I can trust you. I've had my trust broken too much in the past three days and I need you as a strong point. –Steve.
I look in confusion at the texts I'm sent. What? What happened at SHIELD over the weekend? I immediately text both of them back.
What the hell are you talking about? – T.
And again, I receive a text from Steve, explaining the entire thing.
3:15 A.M
Unknown Number
Turns out SHIELD is HYDRA in disguise. I know; it took me by surprise too. There's about 5 people we know we can trust, that's myself, Nat, Clint, Sam (I'll tell you who that is); Sharon Carter, and we're hoping you.
What?! I chuckle darkly- this had to be some sorta prank.
What? Steve, course you can trust me! What even happened?
I save Steve's number and wait for his response.
3:20 A.M
Cap
Meet us at my apartment now.
Who's 'us'?
Just as I sent the text, my sister wakes up and tells me
"Tasha and Clint are outside with someone else… up so early?"
"Shut up and go back to sleep, duty calls," I command her, slipping on jeans and a jacket. I put my phone in my pocket and run downstairs. "Rules still apply!"
"Where are you even going?" she shouts.
"No clue!" I respond, hopping into Nat and Clint's car.
"Yo," Clint says from the driver's seat. I take a few moments to catch my breath. Nat's in the passenger's seat, and Steve is right next to me, on his right is… I dunno who the guy on his right is.
"Who's he?" I ask, passing a quick glance to the newbie.
"Sam Wilson, pleasure," he told me with a small smile, shaking my hand.
"Tatyana Antoline," I reply.
"Yeah, I've heard a lot about you, T."
"Should I be honoured?"
"Very," he says with a smirk at Steve.
"So why are we in a SHIELD car at 3 AM?" I ask to anyone.
"Because we need people to Assemble…"
