Chapter 1-Natasha and Steve
.

With a final hit, the punching bag flew across the gym to land on the floor with sand pouring out of the ripped side.
Panting lightly, Steve brushed his bangs from his forehead and moved to grab another punching bag from the line up. He grabbed a brown punching bag and hooked it up. He got four punches in when he was disturbed.
"Are you having trouble sleeping?"
Steve halted and looked over to the gym entrance to see a beautiful scarlett haired woman.
"I've slept for seventy years, ma'am. I think I've had my fill." Steve answered watching as she walked toward him.
"Then shouldn't you be seeing the world?" She asked. "Celebrating?"
Steve walked over to the bench where his gym bag was located as he undid the wrappings on his hands.
"When I went under, the world was at war. I wake up and they say we've won. They didn't say what we lost." Steve answered getting one hand unwrapped.
"A few mistakes were made. Some of them were recent."
Steve looked at the woman that now stood next to him.
"Can I ask for your name, ma'am?"
"Natasha Romanoff." she answered.
"Beautiful name." Steve said unwrapped his other hand.
"Thank you, Captain." she said.
"Is there something I can help you with?" he asked stuffing the wrappings inside the bag.
"I certainly hope so." Natasha answered handing Steve a folder.
The super soldier took it slowly and opened it to see a picture of a familiar item.
"Hydra's secret weapon." He said sitting on the bench.
"It was found by Howard Stark when he was looking for you after you vanished." Natasha said as she sat down. "There's a lot of rumors that it has the power to give the world unlimited energy. Which is something it really needs. The Tesseract was stolen not too long ago."
"Who did it?" Steve asked closing the folder.
"His name is Loki. He's not from around here." Natasha answered. "We'd like to know if we can count on your help for this captain. You're the only person around who knows what the cube is capable of."
"I've seen what that thing can do and it's not pretty." Steve said. "It should have stayed in the the ocean."
"From what I can understand, it should have." Natasha said. "A few SHIELD agents and doctor's have been taken along with the Tesseract."
"From what I've been told, there's a lot more people around that can handle situations like this." Steve said. "What in the world would I be able to do?"
"Keep everyone in line, keep them focused on the matter at hand." Natasha said. "The world still needs Captain America. We really think that you'd be a key into helping us find the Tesseract."
"Well, I doubt anything could surprise me anymore." Steve said as they both stood.
"We'll see." Natasha said. "It was an honor to meet you Captain and I hope that we'll be able to work together to solve this problem."
"Pleasure was mine, ma'am." Steve said. "And please let Director Fury know that his plan worked."
"When did you catch on?" Natasha asked with a surprised smile.
"The second I saw you instead of him." Steve answered with a smirk.
"Well, I think I'm the one who's going to be in for a few surprises." Natasha said giving the soldier a smile before she left.
Steve watched her leave before grabbing his bag and a punching bag.
"I think I'll still be the one who's most surprised." he said as he left the gym.
