chapter 48 just a pawn

"WE MUST KILL! WE MUST KILL!"- Blackpink

🔹️

You were sitting on a bench at the cafe when everything turned dark. Someone had their hands covering your eyes. That type of joke where yoi have to guess who it is.

-You're not going to reveal yourself?-You asked but no answer.

Your senses got more accurate. You coukd feel the strong and big hands covering your face, the smell of the french aftershave cologne in the air, the slight sound of a breath.

-Vincent.-You answered smiling.

He took the hands out, you tirned to him, he smirked proud, as you went to him and gave a kiss.

-You always have the correct answer-He said.

-It was just too easy.-You bragged.

-Oh yeah? Then I have a challenge for you tonight.-He whispered inyour ear giving you chills.

-Wich one?

-It's a surprise. I won't ruint it by telling you.

-Alright, alright!

-I'll pick you up at the hall afterwork.

-Where are we going?

-My house.

His house. You had to admit, you were actually pretty happy AND anxious by him saying that.

You've never been to Vincent's house, always in your apartment, hotels or his car, never his house. You thought he just wanted to keep it casual and don't get attached, but, since now he offered to go to his home, maybe he was considering a more serious relationship, you thought.

And that simple thought of making it serious awakened your mind, were you ready for it? Could you imagined him officialy ss your boyfriend? Thinki g better you barely knew that man. He was a mistery and that's why you went after him.

A little doubt of "what if I regret this?" Passed through your brain, but you managed to throw it away and just said:

-Okay.

After that you went back to your office, but stayed a while without actually doing something.

The thing is that you've been very productive this month, everything just seemed to easy and you finished fast, like you were doing a first grade kid's homework.  I mean, it was good, but kind of weird? You didn't have an explanation for that. When you talked about that with Tony he just answered by "maybe you just got used to the job" and he added "that means I can send more work, continue being productive". Well, it was progress so why not isn't it?

🔹️

-Where are you going today?-Wanda asked as work finished and you were in the elevator.

The transport stopped at some floor, to bring more people in, and, between them, came Steve.

You were trying to avoid him as much as you could. You even ignored him one dsy, wich totally broke you inside. But you were still angry at him, why act like that? Why all the secrets and embarrasment he put you through?

You just pretended he wasn't there.

-I'm going to Vincent's house.-You answered excited.

-Oh my! Please don't annoy the neighbours with the noise!-She teased and you both laughed- It must be a huge mansion! Just imagine it! Send me photos!!

-I will.

You heard someone moving. That was him again. Steve had an annoying face. You reminded of that before. Like the face from when you weren't friends yet, when he tried to keel you out of conversations with Bucky, a silent way of teasing and irritating others, with a superior air.

The time you've spent with Vincent helped you to don't bother about the others but whenever you saw Steve it was almost impossible to don't care. It was impressive how that just took all your cool and made you stressed during the minutes you were in that elevator.

When it opened you got out fast, saying bye to Wanda and struggling to don't look at his direction.

Vincent was at the car,he got out and opened the door for you to come in.

-Ready?-He asked charmingly.

-Always.

🔹️

Steve's POV

Annoyed was a loght way to describe how you felt.

The way she said "I'm going to Vincent's house" almost made you out of your mind. She definetly did that on purpose. Why play like that? Do it just so dirty.

You even forgot what you were going to do. The focus completely lost.

You got out of the elevator and met Bucky.

-Why are you so grumpy today?-He asked.

-Nothing.-You lied.

-Is it because of that dude? Vincent?

You were impressed about how he knew you so well.

-Yeah. And- You turned to him- You should be the first one to be bothered. I mean you dated her. Why don't you do something? Don't you care about Y/N?

He seemed offended by your last words. But you just couldn't keep your mouth shut.

-Of course I care about her Steve.-He said fiercely.- I love her.-He pronounced clearly with no fear.- But if she's okay then why should I interrupt it? I just want her to be happy.

-But this guy he's--

-Look as you said. I should be the one worried. And I'm not. I don't like him eiher, but if Y/N does then it's none of our bussiness. Just let her be.

The words hit you with impact. Maybe Bucky was right. You just got into something that was none of your concern.

You admired your friend with that maturity he had. It must not be easy for him to see her everyday with that guy, but he accepted and still kept a good relationship with her, remained as friends.

While on the other way, you felt hurt and ruined your friendship. Way to go Steve.

🔹️

Y/N's POV

His house was not a mansion like Wanda expected,but you weren't disappointed, it was still fancy.

It wasn't very big, but larger then where you lived, with a minimalist but sophisticated decoration, with 2 floors, wich made your apartment look like a junk.

- A diamond for your thoughts.-He said kissing your hand and bringing you back to reality.

-I thought it was "a penny for your thoughts"-You corrected.

-You deserve much more than that.-He winked and you chuckled.

He guided you until a table, with a chess game set.

-Chess? That's today's challenge? I hope it's not a strip version please.

-Definetly not- he helped you sit and then went to his chair.

The pieces were carefully positioned in its' places, you were with the white and he was with the black ones.

-Do you know how to play?-He asked.

-Of course. Any last words before you loose?-You teased amd he smiled.

-Rember that chess is a classic game. It needs dedication and concentration, a game dedicated for Kings and Queens, it must not be underestimated, neither the games, your oponent...or your own mind. But most of all-He holded and analyzed the king in his hands- March your way to victory.

-Alright...Let's start-You said and was about to move the piece when he holded your hand in the air.

-No. We are not going to play like that.

-What do you mean?-You asked confused lading the piece back to its' position.

-You will move it with your mind.

With what????? What was he saying??

-Excuse me?

-Don't use your hands. Just think about it.

-I'm sorry...-You started laughing- Veru funny Vin, but really, stop.

-I'm not joking.-He had a serious look in his face.- Move.

-I'm not a psycho.

-It's not being a psycho. It's knowing how to use your abilities.

-What are you talking about? Are you okay?

-I'm completely fine. You're the one who needs to finally understand.

-Uh....This is weird, stop, really...

-It's just a matter of using your mind Y/N. Think about where to move the piece and it will happen.

-I'm just a human. Thinking won't change it.

- "Je pense, donc, je suis."

-I have no idea of what that means.

-I think, therefore, I am. René Descartes.

-Ok...Now stop quoting and talking these stuff an play normally, alright?-You started to get annoyed.

-Once you think about it your mind will make that come true. Your thought will be accomplished.

-You are scaring me now. Are you really fine?

He sighed.

-Just move the piece Y/N.

You grabbed it with your hand, he slammed the table and you almost jumped in surprise.

-I already said! With your mind dammit!-He took the oiece from your hand and put it back.

-Vincent you are being a jerk. I'm not staying here anymore.

-You are not leaving.

-I am.

You were about to get up when something tied tou to the chair. You looked at him, he holded a control in his hands, the chair you were sat, hd now some sort of hand cuffs in its arms and legs, tying them to its structure.

-What are you doing??

-I  must say, I didn't wish I had to do this, but I'm already loosing my patience. -He stared at the control, then , with a creepy look, glanced at you-Now, let's start our game.

🔹️

Steve's POV

You were still unquiet at the cafeteria, intrigued about what could be happening with Y/N.

-What do you think about that guy, Vincent Frossard?-You asked the staff who was cleaning the counter in front of you.

-Who sir?-He asked confused.

-You know, he's always here, the director of marketing.

-...You mean the guy who's always with miss Y/L/N?

-This one, yes.

-I don't really know much about him...-He stopped to clean for a second and started thinking- But  i know that he doesn't work here.

-What do you mean? He works here. Everybody knows him, he comes to this cafeteria in the tower everytime.

-The cafeteria is not restricted to the tower, anybody can enter.-You started to get anxious as he said those words- I work here for 5 years, and I must say, he doesn't work here.

-That's impossible, he has a badge and everything.

-If he does then why he never passed through that gate? I've never seen him actually go to the office. And this is ghe only way to go there.

What the staff was saying made sense, but if he didn't work there then why lie? That seemed creepy.

-So you're sure he doesn't work here?

-100% sure. He just comes to the cafeteria to talk with Mr.Stark's assistant.

You thanked the staff and ran to the  eleavtor to talk with Tony, something was wrong and you were afraid of what could happen.

🔹️

Y/N's POV

You were there still tied to a chair, scared of the attitude of the man in front of you.

-Go on. Make your move-He said.

-Vincent if this is some sort of kink of yours stop right now, I'm uncomfortable. Let me go.-You trued to stay calm.

-Stop thinking foolishness and concentrate.

-Let me go!-You shouted.

-You know how disappointing it is for a person like you have all this abilities? What a waste.

-Shut up and take off this chains. Now!

-Just do you damn purpose and do it.-He slammed the table again making the chessboard shake.

-You are insane!

-No, you're just narrow minded. Open your mind Y/N.

-Stop!

Your head started to spin again.

-OPEN YOUR FUCKING MIND!

-STOP!-You closed your eyes to try to stop the headache.

-befreien Sie sich- he started to repeat those words.

-I DON'T UNDERSTAND!

-YES YOU DO, YOU CAN UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING.

He continued repeting the words loudly while you begged to go. It was almost a torture, broken flashbacks passing on your mind without sense.

Your tears were falling, violently ashe continued to repeat the words and you couldn't understand, your head already like hell, hurting so much that the tears seemed like fire sliding through your face burning.

-öffne deine Augen (open your eyes)- he said and you finally understood something.

You carefully opened and looked at him. A successful look in his face.

-Ich habe es dir gesagt. du kannst alles verstehen (I told you. you can understand everything)

-That's impossible....-You whispered to yourself not able to believe.

-n'importe quel langage (any language)- he continued changing the language and you could still know what he was talking about clearly- sahip olduğun güç (the power you hold) είναι πολύ περισσότερο που θα μπορούσατε ποτέ (it's much more you could ever) 想像する (imagine).

-This can't be real...-You continued telling yourself- I must be dreaming...this is a nightmare.

-You know it's true Y/N.

-No...

🔹️

Steve's POV

You opened Tony's door strongly making a loud noise.

-What the hell Steve?!-He protested as you entered.

-I need you to check your files about that guy Y/N's dating. Now.-You hushed.

-What are you talking about? -He gave you a concerned look- I heard from the other you're obsessed with this. Stop Steve I'm not doing that.

-Tony it's extremely important, Y/N might me in danger.

-Because she's with someone you don't like? Please Steve, go rest, you need it.

-Hear me out, this guy is not from the company, the staff on the cafeteria--

-That's your proof?-He mocked- A staff on the cafeteria as your witness? Great Steve, just great.

-You need to believe me, go check pn your files--

-Steve stop. I'm trying to don't argue here but you're being ridiculous.-He said annoyed.

-If something happes to Y/N--

-It won't happen anything! And that doesn't concern you!-He shouted.- I already said to stay away from her.

-Tony--

-No.

-But--

-I said no.

-SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LISTEN TO ME FOR ONCE!-You yelled and he stayed quiet.

-Language-He rolled his eyes teasing you.

-Trust me. Just listen to me.-You said looking into his eyes.

He stayed serious, his intense glance back at you, challenging, but then he looked way and sighed.

-Fine. What's his name?-He said turning on the computer and typing the keyboard.

-Vincent Frossard-You going by his side to see the screen. Tony typed the name searching and it appeared the message "Not found"- What?

-This can't be right...-He said to himself and tried again but still failed- What was his job?

-Marketing Director.

Tony searched for the person in that position and another guy appeared. Gary Lewis, 45 years old, married. Nothing like Vincent.

-That's not him right?-Tony asked looking at the picture in the database.

-No.

You both stared at each other surprised.

You were right. Vincent lied.

-Why would he lie about that?-You asked.

-Just to get to someone. In this case Y/N.-He said and you notice he was worried.- Where is she now?

-She went to his house.

-What? Fuck you should have told me this sooner!- He grabbed his coat at the door- Let's go, where is it?

-I don't know.

He turned angry at you.

-What do you mean you don't know??  Weren't you stalking him?

-I never got to discover his house.

-Shit. Alright I'll use Y/N's chip.-He said looking at his phone.

-Chip?-You stared surprised.

-How do you think I tracked you all that day at the gala?

-I thought it was through Sharon. You said that to Y/N don't you?

-Of course I said that. What did you expect? "Hey Y/N last time you were being examined by Bruce I asked him to put a chip on you, so, in case you freaked out we could find where you were?"

-You've never told me that.

-Leave the drama for later ok? Let's find her first.-He waited just a second and his phone made a "beep"- Found it. Come on.

You both left hurrying.


🔹️

Y/N's POV

-You are being irritating now Y/N. Move the damn piece.-Vincent growled through his teeth.

-I can't...-You sobbed still with your eyes closed crying.

-Maybe you'll react to this...

Your head spinned more and more, the voices loud saying "hail"  as you whispered for them to stop.

-gehorchen (obey)-He continued.

-No...

-gehorche Projekt C. (Obey project C)

You felt a big fire inside you, burning with rage.

-Hagel Hydra (Hail Hydra)

You glanced at him, his eyes determined, as he continued.

-Hagel Hydra!

The voices followed his lead, in one big loud and deafening frequency.

-HAGEL PROJEKT C (HAIL PROJECT C)

-AHHH!-You started to scream as a loud line of sound drived you insane and your head hurt like hell.

-MOVE THE PIECE.

The chessboard started shaking involuntarily.

-HAGEL HYDRA.

-ARRGHHH-You exclaimed in pain.

The chessboard moved completely, making pieces fall on the ground.

-Gehorche. (Obey).

Yur brwath got unstable, you felt flames in your throat, the pain once there pressed in your brain like a hammer. Forcing you. You felt out of yourself. Like something else commanded you. Something hidden inside awakening.

-YETER! (ENOUGH!) - You screamed.

Then you saw it.

A single pawn, floating im the air.

In front of your eyes, at the height of your face, Vincent looking at you, a mix of being impressed and scared.

Scared as he should.

Everuthing happened too fast.

The pawn, still in the air, flew in his direction. You barely could hear him telling you "st--".

It hit him like a bullet.

Getting trough his head like a shot in his head.

Blood splashed in your face and around.

At the other side you heard a single sound, fragyl and simple. The pound finally lading om the ground. Once white, now painted in red.

Vincent fell on the ground, unconscious. The control hitting the ground and setting you free from the chains.

You got up, shaking, getting closer to the body.

There was him. Lied on the ground. The eyes and mouth still open, a puddle of bloof getting larger and larger under his head.

You squated and touched his chest.

-V-Vincent...?-You called in vain. No answer. Just your voice echoing around the room.

He was dead.

🔹️

Steve's POV

You kicked and opened the door, running inside looking for Y/N.

That's when you found her. There, on the ground, crying.

-Y/N?-You asked.

Tony's jaw dropped as he saw something behind her.

A body.

Y/N turned around, a scared face, vulnerable, her eyes crystalline because of the tears.

raindrops (an angel cried) by Ariana Grande playing

She ran in your direction, throwing herslef into your arms, as you embraced her tight.

She sobbed hard, you looked behind, Tony examined the body and you could understand everything by the look in his face. He was dead.

-S-Steve I....-She tried to say.

-It's okay. It's okay. I'm here.-You comforted her.

Giving a kiss on her head and holding tight.

-I'm here. I'm not letting you go.-You complemented as she continued to cry.
