Chloe's POV

I stared out to the horizon on top of the Triskeleon. To the public, this building was just another government building, but it was much more. It is the headquarters of an organization called the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division or S.H.I.E.L.D. for short. We are the shield that protects the people from the dangers they're not ready to face. I was proud to call myself a SHIELD agent.

Not that I had much of a choice to do anything else with my life seeing how my family was apart of SHIELD since it's founding. I was no exception. As much as I loved protecting people by being apart of this organization, I sometimes wished I could've done something else with my life. Going to college was one of those dreams. There were times when I'd question myself why I stayed here, especially those times when I got a mission/orders that I disagreed with, I could've easily resigned. Still could. I could leave and never turn back, but there was one thing, or person I should say, stopping me.

Beca Mitchell.

I had made many friends here at SHIELD, but the one who has stuck by me throughout my whole life was Beca. Like me, she was a legacy. Her whole family was in SHIELD and she was robbed of a different life. I think that's what made us closer, the fact that we wished that we had a say on what we could do with our lives rather than being told to. Hell, our families were friends and that didn't do anything for our relationship. She was always so distant when we were younger... I never really knew what happened that changed things. It was as if one day she was treating me like I was some wild animal, and the next it was as if I was the most amazing person in her eyes. Whatever it was that happened, I was grateful. She quickly became my best friend and, unbeknownst to her, the person I was undoubtedly in love with.

"What's up Red?" Speak of the devil. I turned to see the brunette with her infamous smirk on her lips. I tried smiling at her, but I didn't have it in me to. She immediately noticed. "What's wrong?" I shook my head and looked back to the view. She walked up next to me, looped our arms, and rested her head on my shoulder.

"I don't get it." I finally muttered after a few moments enjoying each other's company. "Captain Rogers is a hero. He is basically the face of SHIELD, so why are we pursuing him? It just doesn't make sense." She sighed.

"Not all of our missions make sense to us, but they do to our superiors. Maybe they think Cap is hiding something crucial or dangerous from them. I don't agree with it, but those are our orders." She explained. She looked up at me but I refused to look back. It was conversations like this where despite how much we said we wanted a simpler life, she'd appear loyal to SHIELD, and any hope of asking her to leave with me is thrown out the window. I slide my arm out of hers and took a step away.

"I still think we should get a legitimate reason as to why we're hunting down the Captain." I huffed. She put a hand on my shoulder.

"Wanna spar? It could help blow some steam." She offered.

"No thanks, Beca." I whispered.

"You afraid that I'm gonna kick your ass, Chlo?" she smirked. Despite the fact that she was three years younger than me (and shorter), she was higher ranked than me. I was barely a Level 6 agent while she was a Level 8 agent. I chuckled.

"You wish I was afraid, shorty." I joked. "But unlike some people, I've got a stack of paper work to file through." I hugged her before entering the building and headed back to my station. I barely got a quarter of the way done with my pile when an excited brunette ran into my office.

"So did you ask her?" she chirped. I smiled at her as I shook my head. Her smile faltered a bit as she hugged me. "How come?"

"She doesn't seem like she wants to leave Em... She blatantly told me that regardless of whether or not she saw Rogers as a hero, she'd hunt him down for SHIELD's sake." I told the younger girl.

"Maybe she'd leave if you just ask her." she insisted. I sighed.

"I doubt it." I muttered.

"Do you not know her? She'd do whatever you ask her to." she stated. I raised my eyebrow at her. "Have you seriously not noticed that she's more open with you and only you?"

"That's not true." I argued.

"Whatever you say..." the brunette is another friend of mine. Emily Junk, another legacy, but she was the youngest of her family to join SHIELD at the age of 15. Unlike Beca and I, she was a scientist and the nickname Legacy stuck on her. She knew of my plans to leave SHIELD and knew of my feelings for Beca.

"Don't you have work to do?" I asked her as I rolled my eyes.

"Well, the thing is-"

"Hello Agent Beale, Agent Junk." We turned to see an uptight blonde who I called my best friend.

"Hey Aubrey." I smiled.

"That's Agent Posen to you!" she demanded before breaking into a smile. "Anyway, I have some info about the suspicion you talked to me about, and I have to agree with you, the Captain Rogers' mission seems too odd. I think we should go through with Operation: Abandon Ship." Emily's eyes looked like they were gonna pop out of their sockets.

"Leave now, Em, we'll meet you at the rendezvous point by tomorrow and tell you whether or not it was a false alarm." I told her. She nodded and almost ran out of my station.

"Are you really gonna risk it for your midget friend?" Aubrey asked me. I shot her a look and she just shrugged. "I mean from what you've told me about Beca, I don't think she's gonna leave SHIELD just because of a bad feeling that you have. Even if you guys are best friends and you both say that you want to get away from here."

"I know Bree, but Emily did say that Beca tends to do whatever I tell her to. And if that's true-"

"Which it kinda is from what I've seen whenever you two are together." she interrupted.

"If it's true, then she'll come with us. I just have to go find her first." I got up, ignoring the rest of my paper work and started heading toward the stairs with Aubrey tailing me. "Go warn the others alright?" I ordered her.

"Alright." I turned to leave when she grabbed my wrist and pulled me into a hug. "And be careful Chloe." she whispered.

"I will Bree. Stay safe." I whispered back.

"Promise." With that we parted ways, her to warn our other friends and me to find Beca.

Beca's POV

I was still on the roof even after Chloe left. I felt like I had said something wrong that upset her and was trying to figure out what. It felt like an hour passed by when I sensed someone else was on the roof with me. Part of me was hoping it was the redhead.

"Becaw!" I closed my eyes and sighed when it turned out that it wasn't.

"What up, nerd?" I greeted the dorky brunette.

"Are we still going through with Plan A?" he asked once he was next to me.

"Yea, Jesse, we are still on for Plan A unless I tell you otherwise." I replied.

"Just making sure." he sighed. "How do you plan on explaining it to her?" I groaned as I buried my face in my hands.

"I honestly don't know. I know that she wants to leave, but would she even go with me if I asked? But if she finds out what I've been hiding from her, she's gonna hate me." I whispered. He opened his arms for me to jump into. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"What?" he asked innocently.

"You do know that I hate physical contact, right?" I smirked. He shrugged.

"Just get in here before I tell Chloe that despite how much you complain to her when she touches you, you secretly love it and wish that she'd never let you go." I started blushing and gave into the hug.

"I hate you sometimes." I muttered.

"And that's why we're best bros." he chuckled.

"Yea, sure, whatever..." We heard someone clear their throat behind us. We turn to see a girl with a smirk on her face.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. If Beale saw this little display, she'd never let you live it down Mitchell. One for the fact that you willingly accepted it and two for the fact that she'd be jealous." She chuckled.

"Shut it Thompson!" I rolled my eyes at her as I slipped out of Jesse's grasp. "So what's up?" I asked her.

"The ginger is looking for you. And everything's a go?" she asked. I nodded. "Alright. Good luck Boss." she did a mock salute and left.

"You should go find her before something happens." Jesse suggested.

"What could happen?" he shrugged.

"The world could end." he joked. I rolled my eyes and left him alone on the roof. I started walking towards Chloe's station when the PA went off.

"Attention all SHIELD agents, this is Steve Rogers."

I felt my blood run cold and my heart drop.

"You've heard a lot about me over the last few days. Some of you were even ordered to hunt me down. But I think it's time to tell the truth. SHIELD is not what we thought it was. It has been taken over by HYDRA. Alexander Pierce is their leader. The STRIKE and Insight crew are HYDRA as well."

"Shit, shit, shit, shit." I muttered under my breath. I started running to find Chloe before having to deal with the fight. We needed to leave, NOW, before all hell breaks loose. I finally reached her station to find it empty. Where else could she be?

"I don't know how many more, but I know they're in the building. They could be standing next to you. They almost have what they want. Absolute control. They shot Nick Fury. And it won't end there. If you launch those helicarriers today, HYDRA will be able to kill anyone that stands in their way. Unless we stop them. I know I'm asking a lot. But the price of freedom is high. It always has been. And it's a price I'm willing to pay. And if I'm the only one, so be it. But I'm willing to bet that I'm not."

"Dammit Chloe, where are you?"

Chloe's POV

I was running through the halls trying to find Beca and a way out of the building without bumping into anyone in case they were Hydra. Luckily I haven't had any reason to take out my gun and use it on someone. I finally found the staircase when a familiar brunette run out of one of the rooms and into the hallway.

"Beca!" I yelled which caused her to turn around and smile at me as she put away her gun. I ran to her and wrapped my arms around her before she could protest. She returned the hug and it was as if the world around us disappeared. There was no crisis, no Hydra, just us. "Thank God." I whispered.

"I've been looking for you everywhere." She whispered back. I hugged her tighter before letting go. "We should get out of here, like now!" she started pulling me before we both broke out into a run. Going down the stairs was tiring, but we didn't have much of a choice. Suddenly someone else a few steps down opened the door and pointed their gun at us.

"Hail Hydra bitches!" he smirked. Bumper Allen apart of Hydra... why wasn't I surprised? Beca and I hand our guns pointed at him as we slowly reached his level.

"Give it up Allen, it's two against one." I stated as I glared at him. He started laughing which confused me. "What's so funny?"

"You!" he mocked. "Do you really think you're gonna win? Not only are you dealing with an agent as good as me, I have the advantage. And do you wanna know what's my advantage?"

"Sure, humor me." I scoffed.

"As you said, it's two against one..." he looked at me before looking at Beca. "But which two?" I froze. Surely he was just messing with my head. Everyone knew Beca and I were close. This was just another tactic to distract me! But as the silence continued and neither Beca or I did anything but point our guns at Bumper, I started having doubts.

"You- you're lying!" I barked at him. He chuckled.

"Am I?" I looked over my shoulder to see Beca with a stoic face still pointing the gun at him.

"Beca..." I whispered causing her to look at me with a cold glare. I started lowering my gun. We spent a few moments of just looking at each other. I was looking for any glimpse of my best friend, but instead realizing my mistake.

"Hail Hydra." she stated as she raised her gun and hit me with the butt of it. I fell to the ground and before I could retaliate, she straddled me, raised her fist, and then darkness.
