3rd Person's POV

The driver in the Sedan takes the two back to the small house where this all began. As the car stops outside the white picketed fence, Steve looks over at Sammie. This is the third person she had lost who was very important to her. Although she carried herself and seemed as if she was okay.

"Hey Sammie thanks for rooting for me back there."

"No problem Steve. I know you can do great things. You have the heart and the mindset. You just need a chance."

She smiles at him then glances at the house with a frown, "He believed in you too so don't give up now."

"I'm sorry about what happened. If I was a little bit faster I could've saved him too..."

"He knew this day would come. He knew the enemy would try to steal the serum. He knew what he was putting himself into it. But he knew that risking it for you was the right choice. So don't feel sorry that he died. I'm not... I just miss him."

Steve nods.

Feeling a grip, Sammie looks down to see Steve holding her hand. She leans over and kisses Steve on the cheek making his face tinge pink.

"Thank you. I'm gonna go get a few things and make sure he didn't leave me anything about the project. I'll only be a few minutes."

"Alright I'll be here. Just yell if you need me."

Steve opens his car door then helps Sammie out the Sedan. He leans against the car watching Sammie disappear into the house. As he waits, he looks down the street at the quiet neighborhood, wondering how in the world he ended up here.

Sammie walks into the familiar house and is instantly taken back by the memories that flood her brain. A single tear falls down her face. She sighs, wipes it, then heads to the room Erskine made for her.

Walking inside the ocean blue room, she looks at all the photos and the letters from her dad back when she went to college. She smiles sadly and packs everything into a duffle bag.

After a few minutes, she has everything packed. She walks to the front door and calls out to Steve, "Hey Steve can you take this to the car. I have to go check Erskine's room then I'm done."

Steve nods and lifts himself of the car. Walking over to the girl who is weighed down by the bag, he lifts it up with one hand making her frown.

"Show off."

He laughs as she sticks her tongue out at him and disappears back into the house. Steve puts the back in the back trunk and then repositions himself against the car.

Sammie stands staring at the closed door to Erskine's room. She sighs and then grabs the doorknob. The door opens revealing papers everywhere. All over the bed, the floor, the desk, even some hanging on the wall. She had never seen his room like this.

As she walks by each one she sees notes about Project Rebirth but none about the serum. As she gets closer to the desk the papers on the wall change from being about Project Rebirth to Hydra. She stares and notices some kid of code written on the papers around the room.

's- e- r- u- m- m- u- s- t- n- o- t- b- e- h- a- n- d- e- d- t- o- h- y- d- r- a-'

She gasps as the last letter is on a piece of paper on one of the desk drawers. Running over to the drawer she pulls it open revealing a letter and a necklace.

Dear Sammie,

I know you are reading this because I want to the one to teach you how to find my codes. Now if you are reading this then that means that I am dead. But it is for a good cause. This means that Project Rebirth has been a success. Of course I knew the trouble it would cause and the enemies it would bring. But the world needs a hero... One who is a good man. The enemies will not stop until they find the either the serum or the scientific data to create it. We both know that there is no more serum and that only you and I know the data to create it. With that being said you know what must happen. You are the only other to know so they will come for you. I'm so sorry that it had to be this way but under no circumstances are you to tell them how to create the serum. If you do the world will end as we know it. Remember who you are and just know that I am with you.

With love,
Erskine

She pulls her eyes away from the letter to look at the necklace. There is an s engraved in the middle that shines dark blue on the inside. Not knowing exactly what the necklace is... she frowns and tries to open it with no luck. Finally giving up, she pulls the necklace over her head and stuffs it under her shirt.

Getting up from the floor, she makes her way out the room. Closing the door behind her she turns around to see a figure standing at the end of the hallway.

Steve stands at the car still waiting. He wonders what's taking Sammie so long. Looking doesn't at his watch he frowns and looks back at the street.

Sammie freezes while trying to make out the figure, "Steve?"

The figure steps closer making Sammie shake in fear. A tall buff uniformed Hydra soldier walks down the hallway. Sammie quickly glances behind her to see a dead end to the hall.

"Shit..."

She runs to the man and roundhouse kicks him making him fall back. Running over his body on the ground Sammie jets for the front door. The man catches onto her leg making her fall on her stomach. He pulls her to him while she tries to pick him in the face. Grabbing onto the table Sammie knocks over a glass making it shatter.

Steve crosses his arms in worry as he glances at his watch again. Suddenly he hears glass break inside the house.

Sammie opens her mouth to yell for Steve but is punched in the face making darkness take over.

"Sammie?"

Steve says as he walks towards the house.

"Sammie you okay?"

Still no answer Steve decides to go inside. As he takes one step on the porch the house suddenly explodes sending Steve back into the car.

Steve's hearing goes muffled and his vision blurry as he pulls himself up off the ground. He looks up at the house in flames and remembers that Sammie is still in there.

"Sammie!!"

He runs for the house but is pulled back by the driver, "Don't do it son... She's gone."

Steve falls to his knees staring at the house engulfed in orange and red large flames and black smoke.

He lost her before he could even tell her how he felt.
