[On no. Five chapters left. ooh noo.]

You remember when you had been a new member of the Avengers, earths mightiest hero's. Going in, you thought they'd be all hard work and no play, but that idea was quickly dismissed when Clint Barton strolled into the room eating a bag of sour patch kids.

"Clint," Natasha hissed, snatching the bag away and turning to you with a forced smile. "I'm sorry, it seems that everyone's late today."

"I'm here!" Steve Rogers comes running in, fixing his shirt and brushing back his hair. "Sorry, I was having trouble with my closet."

Your eyes widen. "Oh no. This isn't good."

Steve freezes mid-grin, mouth hanging open as he holds on his hand. "It's nice to meet you."
___

That was a year ago. You had found your soulmate, you're happy with your soulmate.

So why the universe decided to give you a fresh pair of words on the inside of your wrist, you'll never know.

"My best friend," Steve breathes, tucking his shield onto his back as you two run. "Is going to be on one of those hellacarriers. It could be the one I'm on, it could be the one you're on. If you encounter him, do not-"

"Engage, I know," Activating the Falcon wings Sam had leant you(he's decided to stay back and help fight at SHIELD), you squeeze his hand. "Don't die."

Steve flashes a bright smile before you take off, remembering Sam's words as you straighten your legs and bend your elbows.

There had been a few obstacles you had run into, namely being fighter jets and their guns, but you had gotten away without a scratch and implanted the chip.

But before you can even comm Steve, telling him that the chips been handled, you're grabbed from behind and thrown off of the platform.

The wings caught you, lowering you to the ground as you squinted up at your attacker. Two boots followed by a body jump over the railing, the man landing ten feet away from you without a word.

"That must've been hard on your knees," You slowly back away, hands in front of you. "Look, I don't want any trouble."

The mans eyes narrow, followed by his gun being tucked away, human hand reaching out and grabbing onto your wrist.

"Hey, hold on, what are you-"

"I am saving your life," He says, and then your world goes crashing down as your soulmate pulls you to the very edge and looks into your eyes. "I'm sorry."

And then he backs away, lifting his leg into the air and kicks you off the hellacarrier.
