"THIS GIRL NEEDS TO BE SAVED." Nick Fury stated, pacing in his office, and scoffed, "Who gave the order to shoot on sight?!"

"I did." The doors opened to reveal Alexander Pierce, the World Security Council Secretary.

"And why's that, Mr. Secretary?" Director Fury asked, giving him a glare, "Why would you send out a kill order on one of the most powerful assets SHIELD has had their hands on in years?"

"You think of her as an asset, I think of her as a threat." Pierce sat down in the leather chair, getting comfortable, "She froze the arm of one of our best agents and then had another episode, which caused her to threaten the safety of everyone in this building."

"No, she saved one of our best agents. She proved herself today and then we put a bullet in her!" Fury exclaimed,

"I'm only doing what I think is best for this company and the safety of the community, Nick." Pierce told him,

Fury scoffed before reaching for the phone, "We're bringing in the best doctor there is."

"That girl will die before Dr. Strange gets to her." Pierce replied,

"She's stronger than she looks."

Hours later, Dr. Strange left the room where Jacqueline was kept in, "She'll be fine." He told them, washing his hands in the sink,

"Thank you." Steve replied, holding out his hand for Dr. Strange to shake,

The doctor hummed before walking past the soldier and towards the front door, "She should stay on bed rest for two weeks."

Stephen Strange left the room and Steve went into Jacq's room. He sat by her bedside and stroked her hair, "Told you you were going to be okay."

He grabbed her hand and frowned at how cold her skin was. The blonde man quickly left the room to grab another blanket. As soon as he placed it over her cold body, she shot with a gasp, "Steve!"

Steve held his hands out to calm her, "Woah, woah, I'm right here, Jacq."

She looked up at him with wild, scared eyes, like a tiger cornered in a cage. Tears filled her eyes, "Agent Barron, is he-"

He smiled at her, "He's fine. It was like his arm was never frozen." Jacqueline nodded, bringing the blanket towards her chest before trying to get up from the bed, "What are you doing?" Steve asked,

"Don't we have training or something?" Jacq replied and Steve pushed her back down onto the bed,

"Jacq, you just got shot. You can take a day off of training." He replied,

She shook her head, "If I don't train, then what happened to Agent Barron will happen again, Steve. I don't want it to happen again."

"It won't, Jaqueline. You've learned how to reverse it." Steve said,

"I can't reverse my emotions, Steve. That's something I need to work on." Jacq sighed, "When I was fighting Agent Barron, I was scared. That's why I froze his arm. When he pinned me to the wall, I could think of was my stepdad. I lost control cause I couldn't let go of my past."

"The past defines who we are. It's not something we should let go of."

"If I don't let go of mine, I won't have a future."
