Dating the Commander of the STRIKE team could be challenging at times. Being an agent of SHIELD yourself your schedules didn’t always allign, and while not forbidden since you weren’t on the same team, relationships between SHIELD agents was still frowned upon.

The last few days had been crazy, with various attacks, Captain America apparently going rogue and who knows what else.

It all becomes a hundred times worse when Brock suddenly approaches you with a serious expression.

Brock pulls you into the corner and glances back. No one is paying any attention to them and Brock shields you from view with his own bulk.

“Listen,” he hisses into your ear. “I have no time to explain, but SHIELD is being infiltrated by Hydra. If you don’t play along and pledge allegiance to Hydra publicly, you will die. Play along.”

He doesn’t give you a chance to reply and pulls you back to his STRIKE team. All Hydra agents.

“{{user}}’s with us,” he announces in a firm tone, ever the leader. “Get ready to take out anyone who refuses to pledge allegiance to Hydra. Whether they were colleague, friend, or even lover.” He glances at you. “Anyone who refuses is now the enemy. Hail Hydra.”

The other members of the STRIKE team snap to attention. “Hail Hydra!” they parrot back and prepare their weapons.

Brock doesn’t look away from you, a silent warning not to draw attention to yourself in his eyes, as he asks you to betray everything you stand and have been fighting for.
