Natasha's POV

"Rogers. I just got of the phone with Fury and we got a mission." I said as I held my phone pressed to my ear to hear what he had to say.
"Okey, when?" He asked and I smiled at the confused tone in his voice.
"I'll pick you up in 20 minutes, I'll tell you the details then." I said.
"Yes I'm at.."
"The avengers tower. I'll be there in 20." I said as I hung up.
I didn't know why but I couldn't help the big smile on my face. Strange.

Steve's POV

"You're late." Natasha said as she sat in the car parked outside the building. The window was down and she looked at me with a smirk. Her black cat suit was put on perfectly and her red hair was shiny against the black fabric.
"Well, I'm not sure if one minute counts as late. What's the mission?" I said as I got inside the car. Natasha started to drive and I threw my shield in the backseat.
"It's an old HYDRA base apparently. SHIELD has it under control but there's been slight movements there lately and they suspect bad visitors. And we're supposed to take them down." She said as she handed me a file. I opened it and nodded.
"Shouldn't be a problem." I said and Natasha looked at me and nodded.

When we finally got to the old HYDRA base, I was surprised to hear that there had been signs of movement. The place, which was located in the woods with absolutely nothing surrounding it, looked very abounded. It looked like the buildings roof was going to fall in at any minute.
"I don't think there's anyone here. This place is about to crash any time. I don't think I've ever seen a building as bad as this one." I said and looked over at Natasha.
"Are you kidding me?" She said with a little smile on her face as her eyes watched the building. "This house looks 100 times better than my first home." She walked carefully towards the house with her gun in her hands. I followed her with my shield in my hands in case of emergency while I tried to picture her first home.
"Let's take this way." I said as I moved towards the front door. Natasha didn't listen but waved her hand as a gesture for me to follow her. "Nat? Where are you going?" I said annoyed since I knew I had to come with her.
I ran quickly after her and we reached another door on the backside of the building. Well, I could barley call it a door, since it was pretty much broken. Natasha pushed the door a little lightly and it opened. I hurried to step inside before her and took up the shield over my head. Natasha closed the door after us and the room became completely dark. I could feel Natasha's presence as she fumbled with something in her hands. A light suddenly shined up the room and it came from her phone. She looked at me as I looked down at the phone.
"What? It's not like I brought a flashlight?" She said as she looked at the room. It was old files and papers all around and looked a lot like an old office.
"We could just have taken the front door as I told you." I said a little annoyed since I was almost 100% sure that this area was empty.
"Shh!" She said.
"What? No Natasha talk to me." I said annoyed.
"No shh!" She said seriously and I didn't understand.

Natasha's POV

The voices became louder, precisely as Steve's.
"Don't hush me!" He said very loud and annoyed. Without thinking, my lips were pressed onto his. He was caught by surprise by the unexpected kiss. So was I. I only wanted him to shut the hell up but as my lips met his, I forgot about the voices in the next room. What from the beginning was meant as a quick kiss to make him quiet became a longer one. A passionate one. I was surprised by the weakness that crawled it's way down to my legs and the hot blood that took place in my cheeks. My thoughts became unclear and I wanted.. I wanted more. My thoughts as well as the kiss was interrupted as I fell to the floor behind a desk. Steve fell down beside me and we were both sitting down on the floor, below a high enough desk for the men that entered the room not to see us. I looked quickly at Steve but turned away my confused stare as I realised his eyes were searching for mine as well. I decided to ignore everything and focus on the mission.
I looked at Steve.
"Many?" I whispered.
He took up four fingers and I nodded.
I took up three fingers and mouthed.
"One, two.. Three!"
We both stood up and drew our weapons towards the men in the back of the room.
"Lay down your weapons!" Steve shouted. They were caught by surprise but drew their weapons anyway. The shots started and I fired a bullet against one of the men's arms and he fell to the ground. I took shelter behind the desk and kept trying to shoot them down. I looked up at Steve who where protecting himself with the shield.
"Some help here Steve." I said as I ran and jumped on his shield, making me fall perfectly onto one mans shoulder as he fell to the ground. Steve fought the other guy and threw his shield at the fourth one, saving me from getting a bullet in my chest. As all four of them laid on the floor, I turned to Steve.
"Thank you.." I said awkwardly.
"It's fine." He said as he went towards one of the shot men on the floor.
"Is there anyone else here?" He asked with an angry tone at the man who looked like he was going to pass out any moment. He didn't answer. I stepped forward and pressed my gun to his head.
"Again, is there someone else here?" I asked and he shock his head.
"No, I promise. Don't.. Don't kill me please. Wife and kids.." He said with a scared voice. He had a Russian accent and I rolled my eyes.
"What is it?" Steve asked and I looked at him tiredly.
"There someone else upstairs." I said as I shot all four men in the leg. Steve looked at me with an annoyed face.
"What? Do you want them to get away?" I said as I began walking outside the room and towards a stairwell. Steve followed my every step and I looked back at his face as the shared kiss came into my mind again. I watched his face. He had a focused look in his eyes and he was ready for a fight at any moment. Suddenly, his eyes met mine again. They were blue. Not that I hadn't noticed that before, I've just never really seen the beauty in them. The way they shone brighter when you could see his blonde hair.
"What?" Steve asked. He wasn't rude, just curious.
"Nothing." I said quickly and drew my looks towards the door at the end of the stairwell. Without thinking, I opened the door and stepped into the room. Steve walked right behind me. We walked into the next room quietly but it didn't work out as planned. It took no more than ten seconds before we were surrounded by at least 25 men, all armed with guns.
"Shit." I whispered annoyed.
Steve looked around at all the men and I looked at him. He read my eyes and knew what I was thinking. There was a possibility that we could take them all down, but we wouldn't be able to figure out what was really going on.
"Lay down your weapons!" One of the men said and Steve looked at me as I put down the guns on the floor and Steve put down his shield. It was clearly hard for him. The men took us into the next room and I pressed a button on my phone, making SHIELD know that there's an emergency right here and they might come for help.
We were led into a big room, it could have been a dining room once. A big table with broken chairs stood in the middle of the room and a man was sitting in one of them.

Steve's POV

"Welcome." The man said. After that, I didn't understand a shit. He changed language and the whole conversation between him and well Natasha happened on Russian.
"They're trying to recreate HYDRA and he's sorry for the mess." Natasha said to me and I shock my head. The man spoke again.
"He knows who we are.." Natasha began as he talked again. "And he wants us dead." She finished and a shot could be heard. Natasha moved to the left and the shot missed her arm with one inch. I started hitting men after men and Natasha did the same. She tried to fight them but realised they became more and when I finally got a hold of my shield that one of the men was carrying, I looked over at Natasha. She had a gun in her hand and picked out another one from her suit. I couldn't say I was surprised. She shot men after men until she looked at me.
"We need to run!" I mounted. She nodded but before we could take a run. Her expression became pained and her eyebrows furrowed. A bullet went through her left arm and she drew back in pain.
"Shit!" I said as I made my way over to her, protecting myself with the shield.
"Language and I'm fine." She said as we fought the men on the way out. When we finally got outside, the shots were following us and we were just about to get into the car as it blew up. They had counted the seconds wrong, luckily for us. We flew back on the ground and a pain took place in my body. I looked over at Natasha who had the same pained expression as she hand landed on her shot arm. I grabbed my shield and shielded us both from the shots.
"I called SHIELD but no ones coming." She said annoyed and pressed the button on her phone again.
"We got to run." I said and stood up. The men was starting to get outside and we ran. We figured it would be harder to find us if we ran though the woods so that's exactly the way we ran. After a while of running, I remembered that I was fast. I looked back nervously to see if I've lost Natasha but to my surprise, she was right behind me keeping up with my steps. She ran past me and I started to run again, the shots became more distant and I knew they've lost us. But we didn't stop running. It took a while of heavy breaths and fast legs before Natasha stopped and pressed her hand against her wound. She breathes heavily and I was afraid she might pass out from the blood loss.
"I'm.. Fine." She said between the breaths as I laid my hand on her shoulder. As fast as I did, my thoughts went back to the kiss. That one kiss that shouldn't bother me. But it did. I couldn't help but to feel good about it. To feel like it was a good idea. A good kiss.
We stared walking instead as I held my arm around her, helping her walk properly. We searched our way to the road again and started walking on the side. After about 15 minutes, we could see a little house in the distant. Natasha saw it first and breathed out relieved. As we got to it, we realised that it was in fact a bed and breakfast. I looked at Natasha confused. She had the same look on her face.
"A house was good but I didn't expect a bed and breakfast in the middle of nowhere." I said and she nodded in agreement. We stepped into the house without knocking and was greeted by and old smell. A mix between old books and pancakes.
I let go of Natasha and she looked around. No one was there. It looked empty. It probably was. I went to the desk in the main hall where we stood and grabbed one of the keys on a shelf.
"Guess we'll find ourselves a room." Nat said and I nodded as we began walking up a few stairs towards the room on the key. When we got there, I opened the door and Natasha went inside. She went towards the mirror that hung on the wall and took of her catsuit halfway. To my relief, she was wearing a tight top underneath. She looked at her arm and furrowed her eyebrows. The blood ran slowly down her skin and she shock her head at the wound. She went into the bathroom to look after something to fix the wound with and found some stuff in a first aid kit. She then sat down on the bed and started trying to fix the wound. It didn't work so well since she had to use her right hand and I knew for a fact that she was a leftie. I sat down beside her.
"Let me do it." I said as she resentfully handed me the things. I carefully began to take out the bullet of the wound and then patch it up. I was as careful as I could not rule hurt her and she sat by my side quiet as a mouse.
"I'm sorry I kissed you." She said after a while and I looked up surprised.
"I was the one who should have shut up." I said chuckling.
"Good point." She said smiling as I got the bullet out of her arm.
"Let me see." She said and I handed it to her. She looked at it with a strange face as I patched up the wound.
"What is it?" I asked and she looked at me.
"This, this isn't a soviet one. This is from SHIELDS." She said as she observed the bullet.
"SHIELDs been compromised." I said and she looked at me.
"That's why no one came. They're a part of it. They want to recreate HYDRA." Natasha said as I finished the patching up. "Thanks." She said as she stood up. "I'm going to find ourselves something to wear. I don't want to walk around in this bloody thing, and I'm pretty sure you don't want to have me here, butt ass naked." She said smirking as I blushed. "Fine, I'll take a shower." I said nervously as she stepped out of the door. I looked after her until the door was closed and I stepped into the bathroom. I looked myself in the mirror before stepping inside the shower. A few scratch marks but that was mostly it. Still when I got in the shower, the warm water burned against the small cuts and I made an irritated face. But soon, my thoughts wandered on to Natasha.
