77 Trick 76: You don't need a Dungeon to pick up girls!

He came to the window to see a man holding Fury at gunpoint while pointing a phone at Natasha. Ace assumed he was a threat, otherwise, Romanoff would've beat him, right?

Just as he was about to move, Sharon busted the door open and fired three shots. Ace's eyes widened and he flew in, crashing through the window.

The three shots hit the man and killed him, dropping him to the ground.

Ace waved his broom off and ran over, holding the man, checking for anything. He tapped his body and spread his fingers over him, a green energy invaded the bullet holes and pulled the bullets out.

The wounds started healing, but the guy was unresponsive.

He was dead before he even hit the ground!

Ace turned to Sharon and said "You killed him?" Sharon waved her gun and replied "HYDRA. He's the bad guy, so yes?" Fury put his hands down and said "Good job, Agent 13."

Natasha smiled, "Thanks." Ace looked at the guy on the ground, pressing on his body, trying to resurrect him. He jolted his heart with electricity and the man's eyes shot open! But the guy just laid back down after twitching for a bit.

Sharon asked "What are you-" Ace interrupted her, saying "Sorry, trying to save his life. Crazy idea for you?" Sharon was speechless looking at him for a second before getting angry, shouting "Well people die everyday! It's not a big deal! Plus he was the bad guy! He wanted to kill millions!"

Ace retorted "That's not the point! What's the difference between you and him now? You're a killer and he's a killer! You happy with that?" Sharon walked over as he stood up. She poked his chest saying "Oh and you're the expert!? People die and you need to live with that! What I do is saving lives for the people! I'M the Hero here and HE'S the scumbag!"

Ace retorted angrily "You're not a hero if you kill people! You're not god! Who are you to judge who can live and die!? You tell me since you can be whoever you wanna be!" Sharon gasped and rebuked with an angry laugh "Oh! So the truth comes out! You're being a real bitch about that!"

Ace shouted "ME?! I'M THE BITCH! AHAHAHA! Okay! Sure! What's your name again? Lisa, Kate, Ashley, Sharon, Delia? Let me know when I get it right! Or would it take too long?!" Sharon smashed her fist on his chest, shouting back "I did was I was SUPPOSED to do! That's MY job! Sorry you're the one who went and fucked it up!" Ace's eyes widened and he poked his chest with his fingers, saying "ME?! I FUCKED IT UP! That's rich coming from you! Tell me again how everything is always my fault, PLEASE!"

Fury and Natasha stood on the side awkwardly, watching the duo argue. Natasha remarked "I think they know each other." Fury rolled his eye and said "Keen observation, Romanoff. Did you use both eyes to make that assessment?"

Natasha smiled and replied "Very refreshing. He keeps blowing me off, it was getting annoying." before shouting "Tell him!" Ace and Sharon turned, retorting in unison "Shut up!" before going back to arguing.

Natasha's smile froze and Fury chuckled, walking away as he said "You clean up here." Natasha looked at him, saying "Me???" Fury shrugged and replied "No more SHIELD. I'm taking a vacation. Plus… I think they like you!" before leaving.

Natasha sighed and turned back to Sharon and Ace.

Sharon held her wrist to her forehead, turning around as she said "I can't do this anymore. You're really giving me a headache!" Ace blew up, shouting "You have a headache?! You know I've been feeling like shit for four-" he looked at Natasha before waving his hand, sending her sliding out of the room.

He continued "It's been four years! Four years!" Sharon waved her hands, shouting "And so what?! Its my fault now?! My fault you ran away?" as she turned around, pointing at him, "You left ME! Remember that! You could've stayed!"

She waved around her, continuing "You should've had this. You could've had a different life. One where you didn't need to hide or whatever it is you do now! But no! Instead you ran! You ran and left me alone!"

She reached into her pocket and pulled out a piece of cloth, saying "Remember this?! Huh?! Do you?" Ace looked at the cloth and said "That's…" Sharon waved it in his face, saying "Yep! Exactly! So please, don't give me that bullshit! You knew where I was and didn't come back! And it's MY fault?! Please! I'm sorry I lied to you! That was my job! I was scared too, you know!"

Ace stayed silent as she added "And look at that, the worst happened. You left and ran so far I couldn't find you. I'm done, honestly. I can't handle this anymore. Everyday I look at this shit and still feel bad. I can't do it anymore." before turning around.

Ace grabbed her wrist and she stopped as he said "Four years… Not a day goes by I don't think about you. Honestly." Sharon froze and clenched the cloth, saying softly "Don't lie to me." Ace replied "I'm not. Everyday I wonder if you think about me. I wonder how you are and if you're okay… I was really angry that you lied to me and I left, yeah. You're right about that."

Sharon turned to him and covered her mouth with her gun, tearing up as she said "You…" Ace swallowed and added "I really didn't know what was going on… You know I was a bit scared. I didn't want to go to jail, and definitely didn't want you of all people to send me there…"

He let go of her and ran his hand over his right wrist, revealing a watch that looked extremely worn, there was even a crack on the face. She looked at the watch and said "You? You kept the watch this whole time?"

Ace nodded and smiled gently, "The only gift you ever gave me." Sharon teared up and sobbed "You idiot." as she kissed him. Ace hugged her, kissing her lips before letting go.

He licked his own and wiped his hand on them, looking at Sharon, who wiped her eyes. Ace reached out and wiped her tears off, smiling gently. She sniffled and laughed, "I hate you." Ace snorted gently and said "Me too. Really a lot."

Sharon laughed and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, still holding the gun for some reason, as she hugged him tight asking softly "Where are you going now?" Ace rested his head on top of hers, saying "London. I became a magic teacher."

Sharon laughed and replied "A teacher? The guy who can't cook to save his life?" Ace froze and she giggled, resting her head on his shoulder, saying "I'm probably gonna need a new job."

Ace looked at her and asked "You wanna-" Sharon pinched his lips saying "No, are you nuts? I'm going somewhere I feel comfortable. What's your number?" Ace pulled out a phone and handed it to her.

She peeled off him, putting the cloth back in her pocket, and her gun under her arm as she put her number in his phone and called her own before giving it back to him.

She pulled out her gun again, patting his chest as she smiled, "Call me, text me, whatever. I just want to hear from you." Ace nodded and asked "Are you going to work for Fury anymore?"

Sharon shrugged "I don't know. Probably not. They released all SHIELD and HYDRA files online." before patting his chest and adding "Good thing you hid yourself or your identity would've been compromised. You learn fast."

Ace rolled his eyes and said "Oh and you taught me?" Sharon waved her hands, saying "I'm not having this conversation again! Don't make me!" Ace pulled her into his arms, saying "I have a bit of time if you really wanna talk about it."

Sharon looked at him, asking "Talk about what?" Ace looked into her eyes and said "You. The real you. I want to know everything." Sharon stared at him and smiled gently, "That would be nice. Really nice."

Ace smiled and stroked her cheek, asking "Ever fly before?" Sharon was stunned and asked "Fly? You mean lik-" before shrieking as Ace jumped on a broom and flew off.

Natasha walked back in and looked out the window, sighing "Why is this guy so hard to talk to…"
