Do you ever just hate someone so much you wouldn't mind punching them in the face rather than getting a million dollars?

You shake your head, because if you'd get the million dollars, you could buy an assassin and act shocked when they're found dead on the side of the road. Yeah.

But you punch Steve Rogers in the face anyways.

He stumbles back, eyes wide and confused. You get that he's confused because you're on his team, his friend, his girlfriend.

Even so, you really hate him.

"(Y/n)?"

You rush at him, which he sees of course, but he doesn't expect you to slide under him and leap over the railing.

Another raid inside of a HYDRA base and it's like you know the place by memory, which way to run and where to turn. It's a wonder as to how you find the empty control room, and how you know what buttons to press. But you're somehow doing it and then it dawns on you.

Months ago, you had been captured by a team of HYDRA agents, disappearing for hours until you had been found in an ally. Tony had said they hadn't done anything, didn't leave any surgical scars or cuts, so he kept a close eye on you and that was the end of it.

But apparently, they must've toyed with your brain, like Bucky's somehow.

"(Y/n)!" Steve stops at the door, finds you right as you slam the large red button and the base begins to shake.

"It's a bomb," You say, unable to move as the ceiling cracks. "You have to get-"

"Nope," he runs into the room, picks you up and makes it into the hallway right as the light fixture crushes the spot you had been standing at. "What's happening? Are you okay?"

You nod, or try to anyway. "I'm fine. And Steve, I swear I didn't mean to punch you or set a bomb off."

"It's HYDRA, isn't it?" He makes a turn and stops sharply.

"Yeah."

"Figured."

You wiggle your toes and move your legs, patting his shoulder and he sets you down. "Thanks. But just to be safe, don't trust me, okay? I might turn on you. Again."

The ground begins to split, and you motion for Steve to quickly follow you as you maneuver through the base. You make it outside when a searing pain blooms in your skull, explodes behind your eye, and you drop to the ground.

Steve turns just in time to see it. Your eye twitching to the side, the jerk in your shoulders, your body crumbling like dead weight.
