Chapter one -

Anyway, this is probably Steve/ OC, don't know though –

Description: Agent Marston's past hasn't been easy, and with SHIELD back on her case wanting her to join the Avengers doesn't help. But what will happen when she joins? Can Steve work his way into her cold heart? Or has someone else already caught her attention?

Here's OC info –

5 years before…..

Rain patters down on the cold stone floor as thunder claps from up above. Agent Jess Marston sighs as she quickly prepares her gun, popping the bullets into it and then slipping it in the holster. Jess looks up from where she is crouched in a low bush covered ditch. The young agent peers around, all her senses on high alert. Her victim, Agent Ted Miller.

It's not long before the said victim strolls out from the French doors and out onto the stone patio. He wears a long leather trench coat, much like Director Fury's. He holds what looks like files in his hands, he looks down at them, before turning his head around, as if he was looking back at someone.

"You're right Captain, there Is a light at the end of the tunnel. Quite right. None of us would argue with you on that score. But what we would question is this, how many of us….." The words escape from the victims lips cold and harsh, not a hint of good in his tone.

Jess has heard enough, it's time for the kill. "I'm heading in" the agent whispers as she holds a hand up to her ear. Agent Coulson's voice on the other end. "Good luck" He says.

And with that, Jess creeps around the dark treeline, its night time, therefore hiding her from view. She creeps forward; she's now at the side of the mansion.

Jess peers around the corner, takes the gun from the holster, and fires it in Millers direction.

It hits his in the side, causing him to keel over and drop to his knees. Jess runs over to him, and grabs him by the collar. "Who are you working for?" Jess snarls, Miller looks up at here, an evil glint in his eyes. "I'm a professional, trained never to give away anything, no matter what" Ted hisses.

Jess frowns; she raises the gun to Millers head, although he is already dying. "One more chance, who are you working for?" Jess grumbles.

No reply.

She fires, putting a bullet through the victim's forehead, killing him instantly. Jess sighs, guessing that she'll have to find out some other way.

The young agent frowns, wondering who Miller was talking to, but she soon finds out, as she notices a mobile phone resting on the sofa just inside, on loudspeaker. A voice comes through.

"Agent Miller? Are you there?" The voice says, the voice carries a thick northern accent, but it's more of a growl.

Jess picks up the mobile, "Miller? You there?" The voice says again. Jess sighs, before ending the call.

Jess blinks awake, and her eyes take a moment to adjust to the light. She sits up and rubs her eyes, not quite ready for the light of day just yet.

Jess peers around; it's been a long and tiring two months now, two whole months since she was thrown into Captain Miller's dark prison, and 5 years since she killed her last victim, who happened to be Captain Miller's brother.

It was a S.H.I.E.L.D mission that Jess was sent on no longer than 5 years ago, and she had strict instructions to kill agent Miller, who had gone rogue a few years before when he launched an attack on Shields HQ, and disappeared off grid not long after.

Jess can remember that night vividly, as if it only happened yesterday, her mind hurts even thinking about it.

Jess shakes away the memories from her mind, before one of Miller's soldiers enters her small dirty cell, he grabs hold of Jess's heavily bruised arm, and drags her out of the cell and into the 'torture' room, in which Jess is very familiar with now.

But this isn't any old day; this isn't any usual torture session. No, it's the day that Jess dies.

The soldier begins to tie Jess to a plastic post, the captain being aware that Jess can manipulate metal. But Jess isn't going to go down without a fight.

Jess twists around, forcing the soldier to let go, she punches him, and then again in the stomach. He keels over in pain; she has one hell of a punch.

She turns around, to face yet another soldier, he reaches down for her wrists, but she grabs his arms, pulls him forwards and head-butts him hard, it knocks him out, and also nearly knocks Jess out in the process.

Jess's head spins in circles for a second, before regaining balance and focussing on a very angry captain Miller.

Miller pulls out his gun, and fires at Jess, who darts out of the way and dodges every bullet that heads her way, she raises her hands, her telekinetic powers coming to use.

She raises both hands up and stops several bullets mid-air, she lets them spin on their own for a moment before releasing her grip and letting the bullets drop harmlessly to the ground.

Jess then raises one hand and knocks Miller's gun from his hand, while standing at least 4 metres away. His face is a mixture of confusion and anger as Jess holds her hands out as the gun hovers in the air. Without touching the gun, it spins around and aims itself at the confused captain.

"Who are you?" Miller asks, although he already knows.

"Your worst nightmare" Jess replies, she sighs, thinking to herself that that was the cheesiest thing she's said before killing someone.

Jess continues to pull the trigger on the gun, without touching it of course. Miller stands motionless for a moment, before dropping to the ground, dead. A bullet through his forehead.

Jess sighs, before grabbing the hovering gun in her hand and striding out of the room, down the corridor, and out of the warehouse.

Jess breathes in the fresh morning air for the first time in months. She takes a few deep breaths, before pocketing the gun and walking out into the fields which surround the warehouse.

Unsure of where to go, Jess heads down a path which trails off into a forest, she stumbles on roots and branches until she walks out into a clearing, she walks through the clearing and stares as she walks out onto the outskirts of a large city, her guess, New York.

Jess stumbles into an alleyway, and then out onto a busy hustling street which is packed and crowded with people shoving their way through to get to work.

Jess sighs, thinking that she looks rather out of place in her blood stained grey hoodie and ripped baggy jeans, and her bright ginger curly untameable hair is hardly helping.

Jess wriggles through the busy crowd, attempting to blend in; she squirms through the businessmen who shove past her in their expensive Italian suits and their important looking briefcases.

But before she knows what's happening, Jess spots a black helicopter circling from above, then, a camera lowers itself down and point's right at her.

"Agent Marston, stay where you are!" A loud voice erupts from within the circling copter.

Jess panics, a million different thoughts whirling around in her mind, does she stay where she is and get taken away by S.H.I.E.L.D? Or does she make a run for it? Jess freezes for a second, before sprinting through the now disappearing crowd.
