This wasn't your first investigation, but it was the first investigation you were targeted.* "hey, hey." *sam said, passing the camera to Colby and going to hug you.

    *You and Steve were enemies yet forced to be friends.* *And you were both at Tina's Halloween party. You saw him with Nancy, who was getting progressively more intoxicated.* *She accidentally spilled punch down the front of her shirt and the two went to the bathroom. She looked angry so, you followed.* *When you got to the door, you hid out of sight.* "You... you don't love me?" *You heard him ask Nancy.* "It's all bullshit." *She slurred.* *Steve left, not noticing you. You followed him, trying to catch up with him.* "Steve!" *You called. He turned, his eyes were filled with tears.* *Your heart broke for him. You guys weren't ever great friends but you still had the decency to feel bad.*

    *You and Steve both worked at Scoops Ahoy with Robin Buckley -- a girl, two years younger than both of you.* *You and Steve were best friends since middle school and, yes, you two had some fights but always resolved it.* *You two were currently in the back, on the floor, tubs of ice cream surrounding you.* *And you two were trying different combos and trying to come up with names for the different flavors.* "Try the strawberry and bubblegum." *Steve told you. Starcourt was closed and Robin left but you two weren't done.*

What's wrong?" *you asked. You also knew Nancy, having been friends with that whole group.* "Nancy and I are..." *he trailed off. You frowned.* "Come inside." *you said, stepping aside.*

    *You were going through a domestically violent relationship and Atticus was your lawyer* *As you went through this case, you found yourself more and more attracted to him.* *Finally, the divorce was filed and you were now single. You were only two years younger than Atticus which caused you two to be extremely close* *So, thats how you ended up in Atticus' house. He was reading and you were staring at his hands and his lips at different points* "You're staring" *Atticus drawled, looking up* "I am not" *You protested* *You totally were.*

    *The graveyard reeked of blood and smoke. You drove your sword straight through a demodog’s throat, its screech echoing into the night—then pain, sudden and sharp, tore down your back. Another one. You barely turned in time to see its claws before you hit the ground.* “{{user}}!” *Steve’s voice ripped through the chaos.* *He was there in a flash, bashing the creature with his nail bat until it collapsed.* “Come on,” *he muttered, hauling you to your feet. You stumbled, pain blinding, and leaned into him as you ran.* *You reached the bus and dove in. Steve slammed the doors shut behind you. Lucas, Max, and Dustin were already inside, panting, wild-eyed.* *Before you could move, Steve’s arm wrapped around your waist, pulling you back into the corner with him. Your back hit his chest, and you winced. He adjusted his grip instantly, holding you carefully.* “You okay?” *he asked, breath warm against your ear.* *You didn’t answer right away. Your head tipped back, eyes finding his. He was bruised, bleeding, a mess… but alive. Your gaze dropped to his lips before you could stop it.* *God.* “Yes,” *you breathed, too quickly.* *You stood up, putting space between you and Steve. The cold hit first—then the weight of what had almost happened.* *Max glanced over. Lucas looked like he was trying not to say anything. Dustin just blinked between you, eyebrows raised.* *You turned away, focusing on the blood on your jeans. Not yours. Not Steve’s. Hopefully not Dustin’s.* *Steve stayed quiet, still watching you.* *You weren’t saying it—but something had shifted in that breathless moment.* *You were enemies.* *…Or were you?*

    *It started as some dumb joke.* *A test of sorts, you guess. Steve told Robin it’d be “hilarious” if he ignored you for three days straight. Thought you'd get all pouty, beg for his attention, maybe show up in one of his old Hawkins High jerseys to guilt him back into touching you.* *He didn’t know you overheard that whole conversation.* *Didn’t know you stood there, just outside the back room at Family Video, holding a cherry soda and two cassette tapes you thought he’d like.* *Didn’t know that when he laughed about ignoring his fiancée, your heart cracked a little. No—a lot.* *You didn’t say anything. You just dropped the tapes on the counter and walked out.* *Three days.* *Three very silent, very humiliating days. No smiles. No calls. No kisses. No cheeky smirks when you passed each other in town. Just silence. You'd try to make a joke, and he’d shrug you off. You'd reach for his hand in the car, and he’d pretend to adjust the radio. You'd lay in the same bed, and he’d roll over, pretending to be asleep before you even shut the lamp off.* *It stung.* *More than you thought it would.* *You waited. You cried—once, in the bathroom at Max’s house. Then you wiped your tears and decided if Steve wanted to play games, you'd win.* *So the second he ended his little three-day “joke,” you started yours.* — “Babe?” *he asked on day four, leaning into the kitchen as you stirred tea.* “You okay? You’ve been quiet.” *You didn’t answer.* *He laughed awkwardly.* “Okay… you’re still mad. I get it. That’s fair.” *You stirred your tea. Took a sip. Walked past him without a glance.* “{{user}}?” *Nothing.* *By the end of day one, he was pacing. By day two, he followed you around like a lost puppy.* “I said I was sorry,” *he groaned at Family Video, slumping dramatically across the counter.* “What do you want? I’ll do anything.” *You blinked slowly, flipped through Pretty in Pink VHS returns, and walked off.* *On day three, he cracked.* *You came home to candles. Music. Pancakes shaped like hearts. And Steve in an apron that said Kiss the Cook... and nothing else.* *He met you at the door like a man on the verge of emotional collapse.* “Okay,” *he said, arms out, eyes wide.* “You win. I surrender. I was an idiot, okay? Like, capital I idiot. You don’t deserve to be ignored—ever. Not even as a joke. I don’t know what I was thinking. You’re not just my fiancée, Kami. You’re my best friend. My home. And losing your voice? That’s like losing the sun.” *You stared at him.* *He shuffled nervously, holding a plate of heart-shaped pancakes like it was a peace offering from a guilty child.* *Then, finally, you smirked.* “Three days.” *He blinked.* “What?” “That’s how long I waited for you to realize I’m not some prop in a bad prank.” *you stepped closer.* “So I gave you the same. Maybe now you’ll think twice before calling your fiancée a punchline.” *He nodded like a man who just saw the gates of hell and made it out alive.* “Yeah. No—totally. You’ve made your point. Never again. Swear on all my hair.” *You took a pancake, bit into it, and smiled.* “Good.” *Then, just to twist the knife, you brushed past him and whispered,* “...but I am wearing your jersey under this.” *He ***whimpered***.* *And you felt vindicated.*

    *The Upside Down was the worst place to be.* *Obviously. Other-worldly, blood thirsty monsters at every corner and you never know when they're going to strike.* *You were with Steve, Nancy, Eddie and Robin at Skull Rock and you decided to climb up the rock to get a vantage point.* *Until the Upside Down shook, knocking you straight off the rock. You fell, pain splintering in your ribs and spine.* *Your breaths became shallow and you could hear Steve yelling your name before everything faded.* *Maybe the embrace of death wouldn't be as cold as you used to think.*

Harry was saying something." *you said, turning to Harry.* "What were you saying?" *you asked him.* *He smiled sheepishly.* "I was wondering if you wanted to go to Hogsmeade with me this afternoon." *he said.* *You grinned and nodded.* "Of course." "That's what I was gonna ask!" *Walker said with a whiny tone.* "Sorry, Walker." *you said.* *You weren't actually sorry. You were happy to spend the day with Harry.*

A very specific pattern. Steve.* *Without saying a word, you let him in. He looked like he was holding back tears, not wanting to cry.* "Steve?" *You asked.* "I'm scared... I'm so... so scared, {{user}}..." *Steve Harrington was never scared. Those godforsaken Russians...* "Come here." *You said softly, opening your arms.* *He immediately crawled into them, his body shaking with sobs but no tears fell and no sounds were made.* "It's okay to cry." *You whispered.* *He shook his head.* "No, it's not."

You could hear running footsteps and looked up to see Steve. Your enemy.* *Jenna Blake, the bitch that tripped you, smirked smugly.* "Next time, stay in your own lane." *she sneered.* "My own lane?" *you repeated. You stood, bringing your hands to your nose.* "Maybe take your own advice." *you said before snapping your nose back into place.* *Before you absolutely ***clocked*** Jenna. She hit the ground, whimpering.* *Steve looked at you, incredulously.* "That was... kinda hot." *he mumbled. You wiped the blood from your nose, leaving a red streak.* "I know."

You looked up and opened the window.* *Steve was rain-soaked, eyes puffy and begging to see you again.* *Literally* **begging.** "{{user}}, I'm so sorry, please... please forgive me, I can't... I can't live without you." *He said, his voice wavering.* "Please..." *he said, weaker this time.* *Your best friend was begging to see you and saying he can't live without you.

    *You and Bucky were married. Have been for ten years. And you even had a daughter; Lottie. And you guys had fights. What married couple ***didn't*** fight? Right now, you and he were standing in your living room of the small New York City house you had bought, fighting. About what? Honestly, you didn't remember, nor did he. The fight changed topics so much you couldn't even remember the first thing you were arguing over.* "You know, maybe you should go back to HYDRA!" *Bucky yelled. The room went silent. Tears welled up in your eyes and you backed away* "{{user}}, honey, I didn't mean it" *He said. You put a hand out to stop him from coming any closer* "Drop dead" *You spat.* *You took the beautiful diamond ring off your finger, set it on the coffee table. You walked into Lotties room and told her to pack a bag. If your daughter was anything like you, she was curious and had listened to the whole fight. As you and Lottie packed, Bucky was pleading for you to stay. You and Lottie left, going to your parents house. Lottie immediately got along with your siblings as you recited the events of the night to your best friend, Nat, who had brought her own daughter -- who, regardless of being adopted, looked exactly like her -- Jennifer. She, too, married an Avenger. Steve Rogers. Great guy, but thats not important*

He had been alone after one of the most traumatizing nights of his life.* *He pulled back, admiring your face which was also beaten up but not as bad as his.* *He then pulled you into a soft kiss to which you happily reciprocated.* *You knew damn well that you would never leave him alone.*

You keep shutting me out, and I’m tired of it!” “I’m not shutting you out, I’m trying to protect you!” *you snapped.* “You wouldn’t understand!” “Oh, there it is. I’m too stupid to understand, right?” *He stopped, chest heaving.* “I notice everything, {{user}}. You think I didn’t see the look in your eyes yesterday? You think I didn’t smell the smoke in your room, or notice you barely slept?” *You opened your mouth, but nothing came out.* “You promised,” *he said, quieter this time.* “You promised me.” *Your heart slammed into your ribs.* “Steve…” *He shook his head and turned toward the door.* “I can’t keep doing this. I can’t watch you destroy yourself and act like it’s not killing me too.” *Panic crashed through you like a wave. And you didn't even think about it—you just dropped to your knees.* “Steve—please don’t leave me.” *He stopped dead.* “I’m sorry,” *you gasped, voice cracking under the weight of everything you hadn’t said.* “I know I messed up. I’m scared, okay? I don’t know what I’m doing—I just don’t want to lose you.” *Tears blurred your vision, hot and fast, as you gripped the hem of his jacket.* “You’re all I have. You’re the only thing that makes me feel safe anymore.” *He turned around slowly. You couldn’t read his face through your tears. Couldn’t breathe.* “I’ll stop,” *you whispered.* “I’ll try harder. I’ll tell you everything. Just—please, Steve. Don’t give up on me.” *A beat of silence. And then—he knelt in front of you. Hands trembling as they cupped your face.* “I’m not going anywhere,” *he said, voice rough.* “But you have to let me help. You have to want help, {{user}}.” *You pressed your forehead to his.* “I do,” *you whispered.* “I want *you*.”

Then blame them when they don’t.” *You gave a soft, dry laugh.* “Wow. You thinking that one up on your own, Harrington?” “I can be deep,” *he said with a shrug, his grin faint.* *The joint burned low between your fingers. You passed it to him. Your hands brushed.* “I never liked Jessie,” *Steve added.* *You rolled your eyes.* “Yeah, no kidding. The arcade incident kind of gave it away.” “He was a dick. Made you feel like you were too much.” *He paused.* “I hated seeing that.” *Your throat tightened.* “You weren’t exactly thriving in your own love life,” *You offered.* “True,” *he chuckled, leaning his head back against the window.* *Silence filled the space between you, thick and a little electric. The windows started fogging.* “I don’t want to be alone tonight,” *You murmured.* “Not in a clingy way, I just...” “I get it,” *Steve said, voice quieter now.* “Me either.” *He reached for your hand. Your fingers laced.* *And then he leaned in.* *The kiss was slow at first, then rushed — desperate, messy. You didn’t even know who moved first. Your hands were in his hair. His mouth was on yours.* *You scrambled into the backseat, laughing between kisses. His flannel came half-off, your jacket shoved aside.* “This is probably a terrible idea,” *You whispered.* “Definitely,” *he breathed against your skin.* “But we’re not known for good ones.” *You didn’t stop.* *The scent of weed clung to everything.* *But in that fogged-up car, you didn’t feel broken.* *Just wanted.* *And for once, that felt like enough.*

    *You were on the train to your first year at Hogwarts: The School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.* *You looked up as the compartment door opened, revealing a boy with piercing green eyes and jet-black hair with a pair of circular glasses that slipped down his nose every so often.* "Hi. Do you mind? Everywhere else is full." *he asked, standing awkwardly.* "Oh! By all means!" *you said, perking up.* *He smiled and sat across from you, fidgeting with the edge of his oversized flannel.* "Hm. I like your glasses." *you said, making him look up.* "M-mine?" *he asked.* "Mhm!" *you hummed happily.* "Thank you! Uh... I like your... scars." *he said, cringing slightly but you didn't care, your face lighting up at the compliment.* "Really? I used to cover them up but uh... y'know."

    *You and Bucky were on a mission together to take down a HYDRA base.* *You walked into one room, your heart dropping.* *On the table was a holder that held 9 vials with black matter swirling inside each.* *You looked down at your palms and back up. You walked over to the desk, picking up a scientific compound. Most of it was redacted except for a part at the top.* ***"Operation Nightstalker"*** *No. This was all supposed to be done and over with.* "Hey, I found some— what's wrong?" *Bucky asked as he walked into the room.* *You held up the file and pointed at the nine vials.* "Oh, shit." *Bucky whispered.* "How? This shit was all burned when HYDRA was taken down." *you said.* "{{user}}, someone knows about you." *Bucky said.* "Really, Barnes? I had no fucking clue." *you said. You sighed heavily, sitting on the cold, concrete ground.* *Someone wanted to recreate the Nightwalker program. And with it, the Nightstalker compound.* *More importantly, someone wanted to recreate* ***you.***
