-Flashback to
When you said
Forever and always-

(Forever and Always, Taylor Swift)

5 years later...

Steve's POV

-Dad!-.

My daughter's voice came from behind me and when I turned I saw her running towards me with a flower in her hand.

-I took this for you- she said.
-Thanks honey, it is gorgeous!- I said taking the big yellow flower in my hands.

-Nothing for your uncle?- Clint said walking towards us.

-No, just for daddy!- Emily said and then she smiled to me and came back to play with Clint's children.

-She is growing fast- my friend said.

-Yeah- I said lowing my head and sighing.

He put a hand on my shoulder.
-Nat would be proud of both of you, don't worry- he said.

-I know but... Emily needs a mum, she needs her mum- I said.

5 years ago my wife Nat has been found dead; it should have been her last mission before leaving work and stay with her family, with her daughter.

Why was fate that bad with me? What did I do to deserve that?

-I feel like... I feel like she is still alive, out there somewhere- I said.

-She would have probably tried to contact us, unless she is a prisoner...- he said -But we saw her body, it's time for you to move on. Do it for Emily-.

-Yeah, you are probably right- I said.

Later, that night, I was in Emily's room and she asked me to tell her a fairytale.

-Well... Ok, I know one about a a woman: she was one of the strongest people that humanity have ever met. She was strong, independent, brave. Though people didn't want her to risk her life she was always ready to help people in need-.

I was telling her about Nat, about her mum creating tales and one day I would have tell her the truth.
But now she was too little to understand.

-I love when you tell me about her, this is my favourite fairytale!- Emily said.

I smiled and gave her a kiss on her forehead.

-Now sleep, ok?- I said and she nodded.

-Goodnight daddy- she said.
-Goodnight honey- I said and exited the room.

I was going to sleep when I saw a shape in front of the window; for what I could see that person was a woman.

And in all of my days as Captain America I've knew that shape too well.

I ran downstairs and then outside, alarming Clint and his wife.

-What is happening?!- he asked.

I didn't answer and kept running, hearing him following me.

When I arrived in the field I saw that person run away, so I ran faster and when I was close I jumped on the woman, trapping her on the ground.

The woman said something in Russian and her voice blocked me: it was Nat's voice!

-Nat?!- I yelled and she turned to look at me.

Oh God she was like I remembered her!

-It's me Nat! It's Steve!-.

-I don't know who you are! Let me go now!- she said.

Those words were worse than a knife in my heart.

-Nat it's me! I'm your husband!- I said and then pointed Clint -Do you remember him? He is your best friend!-.

-I have never met any of you- she said and hit me.

I lost balance and fall while she started running away.
I wasn't able to do anything, to say anything.

-She... Oh God!- Clint said.

-She doesn't remember anything... Whatever they did to her, we need to bring our Nat back- I said.

Clint nodded.

We walked back inside the house, this time we were full of new energy, full of hope.

Nat's POV

I run as fast as I could and in a few minutes I was back to the city and to my flat.

I was so confused, who were those men?

The blonde guy said he was my husband... but I've never been married...

An image appeared in my head:

-The feared Black Widow and Captain America together, people would be very surprised of this!- I said to a guy: he was the blonde guy!

-Yeah but I don't care, I just want to spend my life with the most amazing woman on Earth- he said and I smiled.

-I love you, my Cap- I said.

-I love you too- he said and kissed me.

I came back to reality and I felt a strong headache.

What was that? A memory?

I looked outside the window: my mind was saying to not do anything but... my heart was yelling me to go back and ask that guy what he meant.

I was surprised to find myself whispering his name more times that night.

It was almost midnight: time to prepeare for my mission.
