Chapter 5- The start of the Winter War

Steve Pov:


I was about to walk into my apartment when my neighbour Sharon talks to me.


Sharon said, "That's so sweet. That is so nice. Hey. I gotta go, though. Okay, bye. My aunt, she's kind of an insomniac."


I  offered her to use my washing machine because it would be cheaper than the ones in the basement.


Sharon then went on to say,"Oh, yeah? What's it cost?"


I really liked Sharon but my brain and my mother stopped working and the 1st words that came to my head was, "A cup of coffee."


Shit did I just ask her out on a date... this is weird.


Sharon said, " Thank you, but um...I already have a load in downstairs, and, uh...you really don't want my scrubs in your machine. I'm just finished orientation in the infectious diseases ward, so."


"Ah, well, I'll keep my distance." I joked 


"Well hopefully not too far.  Oh, and I think you left your stereo on."


I know I didn't  leave it on which means someone is in my apartment.


"Oh. Right Thank you." I told Sharon as she left.


I entered my apartment to see Fury. 


"I don't remember giving you a key."


"You really think I'd need one? My wife kicked me out." Fury said with a sigh


" Didn't know you were married."


"A lot of things you don't about me." Fury said 


I turns on the light and  notices Fury's injuries for the first time, but Fury indicates for me to be silent, I turns off the light and writes something on his phone and shows it to me; "ears everywhere"


"I know, Nick. That's the problem."


" I'm sorry to have to do this, but I had no place else to crash." Furrywrites another text and shows it to me; "SHIELD compromised"



"Who else knows about your wife?" [Fury shows me another text; "You and me"




"Just...my friends." 




"Is that what we are?" I asked him




"That's up to you." 


Suddenly Fury is shot three times from through the wall and collapses, I looks out the window for the shooter then I quickly drags Fury to the next room, before I leaves Fury hands me the flash drive.


" Don't...trust anyone. "said Fury before he passes out.




I heard someone breaking into my apartment and hears my neighbor, sharon calling out  me.


" Captain Rogers? Captain, I'm Agent 13 of SHIELD Special Service."
" I'm assigned to protect you." she said " On whose order?" I asked her


"His" she said pointing at Fury


She contacts Shield through a radio, " Foxtrot is down, he's unresponsive. I need EMTs."


I went after the person who shoot fury. I throw my shield at him but he caught it with his metal arm which confused me he then throw it back at me. He wore all back and had a mazal like mask.


Who was that?


Whatever is going on this is just the beginning...


Awhile later...


Fury was taken to the hospital with Natasha, Maria Hill and myself there.


" Is he gonna make it?" asked Natasha " I don't know."" Tell me about the shooter." asked Natasha




" He's fast and strong. Had a metal arm. ]"Ballistics?" asked Natasha to Maria




"Three slugs, no rifling. Completely untraceable.""Soviet-made." asked Natasha 


"Yeah."


Suddenly they watch in shock as Fury's state deteriorates


" Don't do this to me, Nick." Natasha said sadly




Doctor said, "Time of death 1:03 am."
