You'd heard a lot about Project Rebirth, and figured that soon, it was practically set in stone for them to bring you in. It would be practically stupid of Howard not to.

"I'm guessing he's the super soldier," you said as you walked into the room you'd been told to, motioning at the most muscular (and attractive) person in the room, and giving a little laugh as he flushed.

"Y/N? What are you doing here?" Peggy put her hands on her hips.

"We had to involve her," Howard broke in. "Y/N, this is Steve Rogers. Steve, this is Y/N Carter, Peggy's sister."

"Who was meant to not be taking missions because last time-" Peggy lectured, staring you down.

"It was fine," you interrupted.

Steve looked confused so you explained, as you'd become used to. "Peggy's a strategist, not as much a field agent. I was trained purely for action, but once my own squad turned on me because I was a woman. I took them down, but Margaret here got a little overprotective."

Peggy shot you a look. You blew her a kiss, sure your eyes conveyed that you didn't mean it, because you loved your sister more than anyone.

Steve looked at you in awe, Peggy shook her head and Stark just sighed.

"Agent 66 here is going to accompany you on all missions," Stark said. "So don't ditch her."

Steve looked you right in the eyes. "Wouldn't dream of it."

"Y/N, don't!" Peggy cried as you took Steve's hand. "I don't want to lose you!"

"I'm sorry, I love you, Peggy!" You shouted as he wrapped his arm around you and jumped up into the HYDRA plane.

You immediately set to work attempting to dismantle the bombs, trying not to worry as you heard gunshots. You were well aware of how dangerous this plan was, and felt guilty that you have have hindered Steve.

5 down, 3 to go- suddenly, the plane shook.

"Steve, what's going on up there?!" you screamed.

"Y/N, come here, please!" Steve's frantic voice yelled back.

You dashed up to the cockpit. "What is it?"

The shaken look in Steve's eyes told you all you needed to know.

"I ... I'm so sorry, Y/N. We have to put the plane in the water. Otherwise a whole ton of civilians will die."

You froze. And then, you thought ... "If I have to die, I wouldn't mind doing it by your side."

Steve looked at you. Then slowly, he took his hands off the controls, and the plane remained steady, both of you holding each other's gazes. Without a word, you crashed together, lips on each others, bodies flush against each other, in a desperate kiss that promised that everything would find a way to be okay.

You gently pulled apart, foreheads resting together. Steve held you tight, you burying your head in his shoulder, as you both braced for impact.

You gasped loudly, flinging yourself upwards and out of what had evidently been a deep sleep. Something felt wrong, terribly, awfully wrong, and you heard a yell rip through the air.

A yell in a voice you recognised.

"Steve?" you cried, getting out of the bed you'd found yourself in. "Steve?"

"Y/N!" a faint voice replied.

You ran towards it, shoving aside the nurses that appeared in your way, bare feet slapping against linoleum floors. You found yourself sprinting past the fake hospital set up and out onto a street. Something whizzed past you, and you screamed, gasping in terror at the frightening world around you.

Where was this?

Yet, in this setup that sent you panicking, your eyes found him. Steve heard your wordless yell, running towards you and catching you in his arms to safely bring you into him for a kiss. You broke apart from him after a moment, looking at the strange world around you.

"Where are we?" You voice trembled.

"I don't know, Y/N," Steve admitted, a little fear in his voice as well. "But at least we're together."

You melted into Steve's arms, not needing any more comfort than just him.
