Christmas Near Nowhere
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!" - Luke 2:14
Fresh snow blanketed the ground in an endless white. A near by dog that looked more wolf then dog could hear the softest sounds of foot prints crunching across the cold ground. The small village was silent in the night and the few street lanterns that were light danced across the snow in a dream like manner.
At the end of the street there was a single Christmas Tree that stood tall and noble and alone in the night.
The only people out in the entire village were, the soldier and the spy.
Natasha had lead him here. Not that he knew where here was other then being far north and very cold.
Not having seen or spoken with each other in nearly five month Steve was relived that he had gotten Natasha's message. A small letter of all things.
Natasha stood at the end of the street looking at the mighty Tree. A warm coat wrapped tightly around her.
Steve walked to stand beside her. His collar turned up against the cold breeze.
"You found me." Natasha said, not looking at him. The light sounds of bells filled the air around them.
"How have you been Nat?" Though she looked in good spirits he still had to ask.
"Good," She paused and glanced at Steve but looked away just as quickly, "better now." She said.
A wolfs howl reached there ears but neither one payed any attention to it.
"So," Steve started as he put his hands into his pockets, "Where is here?"
Natasha spared a grin, "I'm not going to say."
Rolling his eye's, "Nat that not fai-"
"No, I tell you." She was feeling playful, "We are in, Neverland. We are in, The North Pole," She stopped to think, "We are wherever you think we should be."
Giving up on finding an answer Steve played along, "Okay lets be in the furtherest reaches of the North Pole. The part where it can't decided if its dream or real." There breathes puffed clouds into the night air.
After a little thinking, "I like this part of the North Pole." Natasha finally said, "Good place for Christmas."
It was quiet for a moment. Nothing but the winter breeze and the soft snow fall was heard.
"Merry Christmas Natasha." Steve dropped a small present into Natasha's hands. She looked at him.
She hadn't expected a Christmas present.
"What is it?"
Smiling Steve answered, "Your the spy. You tell me."
She set her lips and glared at him for a moment before opening the small present wrapped in red and green.
It was a small box, "Steve if this is a ring I swear,"
"Natasha will you please open it." He said, not really annoyed. Pulling off the lid of the box there was a small watch looking thing. Except where there are supposed to be the little hand and the big hand there is what looked like a speaker and a small button.
"What is it." Natasha asked defeated.
"Its so when your off for five month finding a now identity, we can always find each other," He pulled his sleeve up to revile that he had one on all ready.
"Your so romantic."
"And your so sarcastic." They both smiled at that.
"Here," Steve took the small contraption and placed it onto Natasha's wrist, "Now press the button and whisper into it."
She did as she was told and sure enough it came through to Steve's.
"Its powered off movement and it will only work if it hears your real and present voice." He said.
"What about a voice recorders?"
"Doesn't work it will automatically send this one," He looked at his, "A beacon signal that would let me know your in real danger and vis'a versa."
The Tree danced with the falling snow.
"Thank you." Natasha said looking Steve in the eye's.
"Merry Christmas." He said.
They both turned back to the Christmas Tree.
"Merry Christmas Steve."
The end.
