After the "civil war" as the public liked to call it Steve headed out on the run with Sam. Natasha decided to join which confused Steve a little since she was on Tony's side of the debate.

"You know you didn't have to come with me." Steve told her, "You signed the accords you can live a normal life."

"I know. I might have agreed with Tony's side more but you're my closest friend not him. So if I was gonna do anything I'd want it to be with you. Plus you can't be alone."

"I've got Sam. I won't be alone. It's not to late for you to return."

"I'm not gonna do that."

"Why not?"

She stepped closer. "Because... I'm falling."

"You're what?"

Nat kissed him softly and he was confused for a second but ok with it. Then she pulled back quickly, "Sorry I shouldn't have done that. Friends?"

"We'll always be friends." Steve said shaking her outstretched had and she ran out of the room.

"So what are we doing." Sam asked as Steve walked into the main room.

"We could settle minor disturbances. This ship will show what is happening different places." Steve told him.

"With all my time that I was with Shield after the KGB I can pick up things on the ship from around that no one else could. You can also tell who might be in trouble."

"Sounds good enough to me." Sam told them.

"Oh, there's one. Potential threat going towards the compound below us."

""I'm on it." Steve informed.

"I'm coming with you!" Nat told him.

"No."

"Yes."

"No. Stay here and run recon. I'll take Sam. You game?"

"What kind of question is that, I'm always game."

They jumped out of the ship and eventually landed.

"Ok you guys got 3 on left, 2 on your right."

Steve swing his shield and knocked two out while Sam flew and knocked the other one out.

"I should've come." She said.

"Next time Romanoff." Steve told her and he poked his head around a corner and saw a quite a few different guards. "Maybe you should've come Natasha."

"I told you."

"What about me?" Sam inquired.

"You know you're helpful and a good partner. But can you take out 6 guys at the same time?"

"I can try!"

"Please don't, I can do that because of my childhood and I wouldn't wish it on anyone." Nat told them.

"Ok. I'm gonna try and get as many with the shield as I can. Then we go get the rest." Steve planned.

"You got it Cap." Sam said.

Steve threw his shield and it started knocking out quite a few people. Some avoided the shield others didn't have a chance. Steve snuck around one building and walked behind a few before he came almost right behind them. And started to punch and kick some people as he got the shield back. Sam swooped in and pretty soon all the guards laid passed out. Steve unlatched the door and people burst out.

"Seems a bit more serious of a situation than a potential threat." Sam noted.

They got back on the ship and continued flying around looking for threats.

**A few weeks later**

"We should stay somewhere too that isn't this ship." Steve said, "Get some solid ground underneath us."

"We're not doing it here. Let's wait to get further."

"Where have we ended up?"

"We're over Irkutsk."

"Let me guess, Russia?" Steve guessed.

"What's in Russia?" Sam asked.

"Nothing good." Nat told him.

"She's Russian." Steve informed him when Sam still looked confused. He still didn't get it.

"I don't really want to talk about it again." Nat said gathering a few things and leaving the room. Sam raised an eyebrow. Steve crossed his arms, "When you were around this area doing your task force missions did you ever hear of the Red Room Program?"

"I vaguely remember something along those lines. They took orphaned girls and told them they were learning ballet but actually trained them to be professional assassins able to kill whomever they wished?"

"So you have heard of it."

Sam shrugged, "I guess so."

"She was part of that program." Steve said.

"Her, Natasha Romanoff?"

"Her full name is Natalia Alianovna Romanova. She is THE Black Widow. They had the black widow program but one surfaced on top. That was her."

"How did she get out? Because she's obviously not doing that now."

"That's a whole other story." Steve sighed.

"What's the story with you two?"

"Me and Nat?"

"Yeah."

"Ah just good friends. I met her on that Avengers mission in New York did a few other missions together before taking down Hydra. She basically did whatever Fury wanted. He was like her surrogate father I guess I'm not sure. But anyways hydra was compromised, we went on the run to figure out how to take them down. We talked on the way to the old Shield headquarters someone blew that up, and she got knocked out so I carried her away. That said I saved her a few times she saved mine. There was the Avengers thing that presented the sokovia accords and then you were there with the fighting about that. Bucky and I ran into the hangar with the ships and Nat was the only one standing in our way. She knew I wasn't gonna stop helping Bucky so she allowed us to go. We just understand each other very well. Fury and I are the only ones she really actually trusts 100% completely." Steve shrugged, "It's nice to have a friend like her, and you."

"The way you two look at each other. You're gonna need to try a lot harder to convince me y'all just friends."

"I mean we are but Good night Sam."

"Goodnight." Sam said as Steve got up and went to his sleeping quarters.
