You and Brock had been dating for about three years, contrary to what everyone said and believed, in their childhood, neither of you had what could be considered a true family, so since you started dating it was what you tried to form.
When Cap joined the team, you noticed that Brock changed his attitude somewhat, it was as if he was afraid, maybe he would be moved as a leader since he had directed Strike for many years or maybe he thought he would lose you, there were many girls who were trying to conquer the Cap, but you had no eyes for anyone but Brock.
While they were preparing dinner, your boyfriend's cell phone rang, you noticed that he had tensed.
“Is everything okay?”
He looked at you doubtfully, it even seemed to you that he had turned pale.
"Yes, I know I promised you it would be a romantic dinner, but ..."
"A mission," you concluded.
He nodded, you had that bad luck that there was always a mission, you checked your cell phone to see if you also had to go, there was nothing in yours, although sometimes you didn't go together.
“I promise you that...”
"Just come back safe, I love you," you interrupted.
"I love you," he said before leaving the place.
That's how it went, you sighed, you weren't angry, but if you thought Brock was acting weird.
The next morning Brock returned, it had been hard for you to sleep, as each time you had a separate mission it was difficult for you to sleep, more than anything for the fear of losing him, instead of when you had missions together you protected the each other.
Brock was the only one who had been with you in difficult times, whenever you needed someone he was there, like when your family had kicked you out of the house.
He always seemed to be very rude and cold, but with you he was different, he had always been loving and cared for you, so much that he didn't mind getting hurt in the missions in order to protect you.
You had managed to fall asleep two hours before he returned, when he entered the apartment, he observed you, he didn't want to wake you up, he kissed you on the forehead and left the flower that had brought you to apologize for leaving.
"Hi," you said sleepily.
“Morning beautiful.”
He smiled all the time he had been worried, in fact, he didn't want you to know his biggest secret, yes, he had told you practically all his life and everything he thought, wanted and so on, but there was only one thing he didn't, first because he didn't know how were you going to react, second because he was afraid of losing you, losing everything that you had built in all that time.
"How was your mission?"
"It was something simple," he said without giving further details.
The strange behavior of your boyfriend continued the following weeks you began to suspect that something had happened in that mission ... or there was someone else.
One day you noticed that there were some documents on the table, it looked like a file m Brock had forgotten, both of you didn't use to check the files, but this time you needed answers. You took the folder, you started reading it, you were in shock, and you couldn't believe what you read.
Brock was HYDRA, HYDRA still existed ... doubts began to appear in your head, had he really loved you or was it all another mission? Your life now seemed like a lie, what should you do?
You didn't even hear when the door opened and Brock entered.
"Honey now ... what's up?" He asked when he saw the expression on your face.
He saw the documents, tried to remain calm, his worst nightmare was coming true, he had never wanted you to find out, and he didn't want problems.
“Y/N I can explain ...”
“Explain what? Everything is very clear, Rumlow — you said furiously while waving the documents.”
“Y/N ...”
“What? Are you going to lie to me again? All those things you were telling me were a lie, you were simply looking for a way to cover up appearances” — you snapped furiously.
"No, I don't ... I just didn't tell you the whole truth, I love you"
"You betrayed S.H.I.E.L.D., you betrayed me, I loved you, you played with me, I don't even really care about you, I don't believe you, and all this ... all this was a lie, right?" Your voice began to break.
You managed to regain your composure, you didn't want to hear more lies, and you were very hurt.
“Y/N, I ...”
"Go, I don't want explanations, I don't want to see you again," you demanded.
"I didn't betray you, I'm not leaving, I need you to ..."
"Okay, so I'm leaving," you said.
You took your bag and left the apartment, he tried to stop you, but you didn't let him, then he started calling you by your name, you ignored him and left, you didn't want to hear any more lies.
It had been two weeks since you had left Brock, while you had returned to the apartment where you lived before, you didn't answer the calls or messages and at work you ignored him.
You had felt bad, you did a pregnancy test, it was positive, you were not sure to tell him, you still loved him, but you felt betrayed, you knew his past and you managed to understand why he had joined HYDRA, but you did not understand why he had not abandoned the infamous organization or because I hadn't told you.
Someone knocked on your door, you thought it was Brock, and you see through the peephole, it was Steve, Natasha, Hill and a man you didn't know, you opened the door.
“Cap, Nat, and Hill” you greeted
They entered your apartment, it seemed that they were bad, it also seemed strange that they were going to visit you, it was not as if you were very friendly with them.
“Where is him?” Asked Steve.
“Who?”
"Don't act as a dumb," Nat said
You looked at Natasha without understanding, that day you had not presented yourself to work so you had no idea what was happening.
"Rumlow," said Steve.
"I don't know," you replied.
It was logical that they asked you about him, they did not tell everyone about their separation, it was also not like you were interested in others knowing.
“How are you not going to know? Asked Steve.”
"We broke up two weeks ago," you explained.
They didn't believe you much, so they made you accompany them, they didn't speak to you, but somehow you knew that they believed you were also HYDRA when that was a lie, you were thinking about what you should do, you couldn't stop thinking about all those times that you and Brock had talked about having children, if he left HYDRA, maybe you could have a life as a family...
The Helicarriers had taken off, you sneak out to look for Brock, you had a bad feeling, and you saw him climbing the stairs.
“Brock!” You called him
He stopped when he heard your voice, for a moment he thought it was not real, he turned to make sure it was real.
“Y/N ...”
I was very surprised, I didn't expect to see you in this place, after all, that had happened
“What are you doing? What did you do? “You Asked.
"Guess you were right about me after all," he replied sadly.
"Brock...”
“Y/N, I have a mission, after finishing it I will explain everything ... if you want me to listen,” he asked.
"Let's go, let's go together," you proposed.
“Y/N…”
"I have a bad feeling, please let's go, I need you ... we need you”
“You need me? Who else? “He asked confused.
He thought you were on the side of Steve and S.H.I.E.L.D., who had sent you to convince him to leave HYDRA, he had too many mixed feelings.
"We're going to be parents," you finally confessed.
He dropped his gun, which echoed when he hit the floor, he didn't expect such news.
"You just say it to convince me, you're kidding, right?" He said completely dismayed.
"It's not a lie, I'm waiting for your baby," you said firmly.
“How is that...?
“Do you really ask that?
Brock looked at the stairs that climbed doubtfully, the internal struggle he was having was noticeable, he could not continue doing that mission, and he could not lose the opportunity of what he had always wanted.
"To hell HYDRA," he sentenced.
He approached you, kissed you, and picked up his weapon, they would look for them, he was sure of that, but they would find a way to avoid it.
"We have to get out of here as quickly as possible," he muttered.
It seemed almost an impossible mission, it was difficult to distinguish between friends and enemies, and Brock was trying his best to stay safe.
They had managed to get out of the Triskelion, Brock kept thinking where could go, evidently to any of the departments, they would probably look for you there, especially after he had betrayed HYDRA.
Suddenly they heard how they carried a gun
“Stop!” Ordered a woman
You both turned, it was Hill, Brock stood in front of you to protect you, and he wasn't going to let anyone hurt you.
"If you want to fight someone, it will be with me, she has nothing to do with this," Brock warned.
Neither objected when you were handcuffed and taken away for questioning, you might find some protection.
“What plans does HYDRA have?” Maria asked.
“I don’t know.
That was true, you didn't know anything about that organization, more than what you had read in the documents.
"Why you run away?" Natasha asked.
"We were going to run away from everything, leave everything behind."
"You were going to continue with HYDRA's plans," said the Russian.
"No, we wanted to have a new life, far from all this, to start everything from scratch."
"You lied, you said they were done," Maria said.
"I didn't lie, we broke up, but we reconciled, we are going to have a baby, I found out this morning, shortly before you arrived, as soon as I told him, he decided to abandon the mission he had," you explained.
“Did you know he was HYDRA?” Nat asked.
"Yes and no, I found out two weeks ago, that's why I had left him, I didn't really know what to do."
"What were you and Y/N doing as HYDRA agents?" Steve asked.
"Y/N didn't know about this, she's not HYDRA, she found out just a few weeks before," Brock said.
After hours of an exhaustive interrogation, you could finally see each other again, now you had to wait until they made a decision about what to do, Brock assured you that he would do everything possible to mend everything he had done in the past.
"We have made a decision, due to the status of Y/N, we will protect them and say nothing about Rumlow, it will officially appear as one of the victims of the Triskelion, as long as it cooperates," said Maria.
“In what way?” Asked Brock.
"Giving information, where there are HYDRA facilities, the plans, whatever it takes to end them," Steve intervened.
"I will," Brock said.
Brock Rumlow would do anything to keep his family safe, the only one he had and ever had in his life and loved.
