❝You're a terrible liar❞

       𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐉𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐋𝐘 𝐎𝐍 her way to pick Steve up for another one of their Mission. Since the events that took place in New York the two were, you could say friends. They were not that close, but they met up a couple of times talking about usual stuff.

Anastasija had helped Steve to understand their time a bit better and of course introduced him to the world of technology.

They also worked on missions together, sometimes with Natasha. When she drove into the street, where Steve would normally go jogging, she saw him talking to some stranger.

Anastasija slowly stopped the car and rolled down the window. "Hey, Fellas. Either one of you know where the Smithsonian is? I'm here to pick up a fossil."

Steve scoffed at her lame joke while he approched the car. "It's hilarious", he said while he climbed into the car.

The dark skinned stranger looked at Ana and she smiled slightly. "How you doing?", he asked sitting down on the ground.

"Hey", she answered smirking flirty.
Steve looked at him joking, "Can't run everywhere."

"No you can't", the man answered chuckling. Ana rolled the window up again and quickly drove off.

Later that day Rumolow was breefing them for the mission, what Anastasija found a bit boring, because Furry had already told her the Mission.

He had given her a little extra assignment she should complete, without anyone knowing about it. When they all prepared for there jump off, Anastasija looked at Steve, "Doing anything fun, Saturday Night?"

"Well, all the guys in my barbershop quartet are dead, so- no, not really", the Cap answered her jokingly.

"𝖢𝗈𝗆𝗂𝗇𝗀 𝗎𝗉 𝗈𝗇 𝗍𝗁𝖾 𝖣𝗋𝗂𝗏𝖾𝗋 𝖹𝗈𝗇𝖾, 𝖢𝖺𝗉!", they heared a voice in their ears.

"If you had asked Crystal from the reception, she probably would have said yes", Ana told him a light smile on her face. He looked at the blonde russian. "That's why I didn't ask."

He looked down at her for a split second before he walked towards the door, turned around and jumped of the Jet. Anastasija scoffed at him as she waited for her signal to jump.

After a moment there it was, her signal to jump. She quickly jumped out of the jet and landed elegant on top of the Ship.

The agent walked next to Steve as she eyed him, "What about the nurse who lives across the hall from you? She seems kind of nice."

Steve tried to get off his back, "Secure the engine room, then, find me a date."

"I'm multitasking", Ana smirked at him while she hoped over the metal railing.

The women climbed down the stairs on the inside of the ship as she heared a man talking in french.

She quietly jumped down the rest of the stairs before she stood behind him. Ana eyed him for a short moment till he turned around looking at her in shock.

She smirked at him winking, "Hey, Sailor." She then hardly kicked against one of his legs and quickly strangled him with a roap.

She pushed herself over the railing and pulled out her gun while she rappelled. On her way down she shot every single men she saw, without missing a single one.

"𝖠𝗇𝖺𝗌𝗍𝖺𝗌𝗂𝗃𝖺, 𝗐𝗁𝖺𝗍 𝗂𝗌 𝗒𝗈𝗎𝗋 𝗌𝗍𝖺𝗍𝗎𝗌?", she heared Steve asking her, but she couldn't answer him because she was preoccupied with sneaking up on one of the bad guys.

"𝖠𝖭𝖠𝖲𝖳𝖠𝖲𝖨𝖩𝖠, 𝖶𝖧𝖠𝖳 𝖨𝖲 𝖸𝖮𝖴𝖱 𝖲𝖳𝖠𝖳𝖴𝖲?", Steve asked her again, worry in his voice.

"HANG ON!", she shouted annoyed while she jumped on the shoulders of a man and electro shocked him.

She rolled herselfe over the floor and broke her next attackers arm, kicked him in his stomach and then kicked his legs away so that he landed hardly on the floor.

"Engine room secured!", she spoke up while one of the Men stood up again, but she just grabbed a metal pipe and hit him hardly across his face.

Anastasija was just downloading the files for Fury when Steve suddenly broke through the door with another man.

Anastasija looked at them awkwardly, "Oh, that is akward"

When Steve looked at her, she smiled at him and continued to copy the Informations on the flash driver.

"Rumlow needs your help, what the hell are you doing here!?", Steve questioned her annoyed. He walked up to the woman looking over her shoulder at the computer.

His eyes narrowed, "Your saving shield informations", he stated confused.

"Whatever I can get my hands on", she explained looking up to him. He had a deep frown on his face, "Our Mission is to rescue hostages"

"No, that's your mission", she interrupted the Captain, while she gave him a pointed look.

The russian then quickly grabbed the flash driver and turned towards him, "— And you done beautifully." She smiled at him sweetly while she tried to walk past him, but Steve grabbed her harshly by her arm.

"You just jeopardized the whole mission", he hissed while he looked her in to her eyes.

"I think your a little dramatic", she shot back at him before suddenly the man which Steve knocked out a few minutes ago quickly stood up and threw a bomb at them before he ran out of the room.

Anastasija eye's widened in shock before she looked at Steve. The blond man reacted quickly and grabbed her by the waist.

Ana quickly shot at the window infront of them and after a moment they crashed through the glass, into the next room, just when the bomb went off.

The blonde hit the floor hardly and a terrible pain shot through her body.

She exhaled deeply and after a second she slowly sat up against the wall, holding her waist in pain. "Okay, that one is on me", she sighed deeply while her eyes glancing at Steve.

"Your damn right", he said pissed before standing up and leaving her behind in the room.

She looked after him while she leaned her head back, groaning. Why did she always had to ruin her friendships? She felt like shit for lying to him, she never had a problem with that, so why now?!

The next evening she sat with Natasha in their cozy and small living room. "I think, I messed up", Anastasija suddenly spoke up, looking at the TV, a cup of tea in her hand.

"What do you mean?", her twin asked, a questioning look plastered on her face.

Ana turned her head to look at her sister. "I lied to Steve about a mission— he found out and now he is mad at me for not telling him about it", she explained shortly.

"So is there something going on or not?" Natasha questioned and Ana sighed annoyed. "We are just good friends Nat, Why do you always ask?"

"Because you two would be perfect together and he likes you, I can see it!", Natasha exclaimed hitting her sisters leg enthusiastic.

"And know get off of your ass and talk to him!", with that she pushed Anastasija out of the door.

So the blonde Russian got onto her motorcycle and drove to Steve's apartment.

When she walked up the stairs she saw that Steve's door was wide opened. That was very weird, Steve would never leave his door open like that.

She stopped and eavesdroped for a moment, suddenly she heared gun shots. The woman quickly grabbed her gun and entered the apartment carefully.

Ana leaned against the wall and eavesdroped again. She could here someone heavily breathing, "—trust
nobody"

"Steve!?", she then shouted carefully over towards the kitchen. "It's me, Ana", she added quickly.

Anastasija then walked slowly around the corner, her gun still in her hands.
"Ana, be careful there is a sniper out there!", Steve shouted immediately at the spy, from where he was hiding.

She quickly ran towards him, kneeled beside the man on the ground, which she now could recognize as no other than Fury.

She immediately put her gun away and sat down besides him. "Don't do this to me Nick, please", Anastasija begged him desperate.

"You're going to be fine", she assured him while trying to stop the bleeding.
"You're going to be fine", she repeated while patting his shoulders.

In that moment two women came in, "Captain Rogers, I'm agent 13 Shield special service. I was sent to protect you."

"Juliet Troy. I'm an old friend of Nick Fury", the brunette, who was dressed in a complete red suit, spoke up as she held a golden lasso in her hand.

Ana looked at the two women, her vision still blurry because of her tears.
She could indeed remember the blonde one, Ana had met her on a mission, but the brunette was a completely new face to her.

"On who's order?", Steve asked the blonde agent sceptical. Sharon walked into the kitchen. "His", she pointed at Fury, who was now unconsciouned.

Anastasija held him in her arms, as Sharon informed her team that Fury needed medical help. Meanwhile Steve had decided to follow the shooter.

"Be careful Steve", Anastasija said to the man who nodded at her. "I'll be back in a sec", he assured her.

Soon the medics arrived and on the exact same evening Anastasija walked into the observation room, from where she could see the doctor operate on Fury.

Steve was already standing there along side Natasha and Juliet, the brunette from before, watching them work.

"Is he going to make it?", she asked the three besides her worried. "I don't know", Steve whispered truthfully, eyeing the blond women besides him.

Her blue eyes were red and puffy from all the crying and she looked really exhausted in general.

"Tell me about the shooter", she demanded after a moment of silence, still looking at Fury who was fighting for his life on the O.R. table.

"He was fast, strong, he had a metal Arm", Steve told her shortly which made Natasha and Ana looked at each other in an instant.

"Balistics?", Natasha questioned Maria Hill, who had just entered the room.

"Three slugs, not traceable back", the Agent answered them immediately. Ana's breath hitched in her throat. "Soviet made", she stated, deeply in thoughts.

"Yeah", Agent Hill answered her, slightly surprised that the Agent knew that. In that moment Nick's heart stopped beating and the doctors immediately tired to reanimate him.

The Romanoff sisters looked at the dark skinned man. "Please, don't do this to us Nick", Ana repeated her words from Steve's appatment.

Juliet stood in the other corner of the room, her arms crossed over her chest while she also watched the doctors and Fury in silence.

But the heartbeat didn't came back and tears rolled down Anastasija's cheeks. She just couldn't believe it, Fury couldn't be dead.

Maria and Steve quietly left the small room followed by Juliet while Anastasija and Natasha stayed there till the end, crying and hugging each other.

After half an hour Nick's Body was prepared for the Transport and Ana and Steve stood in the Autopsy with him. Anastasija wanted to say goodbye to him but after a short moment Agent Hill entered the room.

"They need to take him", she calmly informed Steve, who then stepped forward as he lightly nodded his head at the brunette.

"Anastasija", he addresed the russian unsure, who was still deep in her own thoughts.

She breath out heavily, touched Nick's forehead for a moment and then left the room without a word.

On her way outside she bumbed into Juliet, who was standing infront of the door with her back towards her.

"— Sorry", Anastasija muttered under her breath and wanted to walk away but then she stopped and spun back around to the stranger.

"You know, it's kinda weird that you're just appearing out of nowhere, exactly when Nick gets shot", she narrowed her eyes at the young woman infront of her.

Juliet raised her eyebrows as she crossed her arms over her chest, "What's that's supposed to mean?"

"It means that I will keep an eye on you", the russian told her honestly before she contiued her way down the corridor of the hospital.

Steve, who had just left the Autopsy followed after her quickly. "Ana", he called after her as she turned around to him.

"Why was Fury at your apartment?", the woman immediately questioned him, narrowing her eyes at Steve.

"I don't know", Steve shrugged at her, clearly lying, but before she could say anything they were interrupted by Rumlow calling Steve. "Cap, they want you back, now!"

"Yeah give me a sec", Steve answered him annoyed before he turned back to Anastasija, who shook her head at him, her eyes narrowed. "You're a terrible liar", the russian stated, a little hurt could be heard in her voice.

He wanted to say something but Ana just turned around and walked away searching for her twin sister, leaving him behind, standig in the large corridor.
