A/N: This was originally a Roamogers song fic. But I got a bunch of crap for it being a song fic so I just removed the lyrics. Hope you guys still like it. If you want to know the song I used just PM. Read/ Review.
Natasha Romanoff had blown all her covers, all of SHIELD's information had been dumped onto the internet by none other than herself. It had to be done. She wasn't afraid of what the world would say about her, she already knew what she had done and who she was and what her place in this world was. As she made her way towards the three familiar men, the file in her hand seemed to weigh more the closer she got.
"You should be honored, that as close as he gets to saying thank you." Despite the feeling she managed to keep her confident demure as she approached them.
"Not going with him?" Steve asked as he broke away from the other two men.
"No." Going with Fury was not what she had in mind. But none the less the classic Natasha Roamanoff smirk tugged at her lips.
"Not staying here?"
"Nah" the reply was almost a whisper but she couldn't help it. As much as she wanted to be around Steve she couldn't. She had blown all of her covers, a new one was needed. "I blew all my covers. I got to go figure out a new one."
"It might take a while" Steve replied, he didn't know what it was like to have to make up a new cover from scratch but if it was as difficult as Fury faking his own death then it would most certainly take a while. But how long? How long would it be before he saw her again?
"I'm counting on it." The red head smirked at him. The longer it took the longer it would take her to reunite with Steve and the others, which hopefully meant that her feelings for him would vanish and that he would find someone to be with.
"That thing you asked for." Grabbing the file she handed it over to him, "I called in a few favors from Kiev,"
Steve took the file and looked at it. It was all the information they had on The Winter Solider. On Bucky.
"Will you do me a favor?" She didn't know if he would really do it. But it was the least she could do to start paving the way for her feelings for Steve Rogers to come to an end.
"Call that nurse"
"She's not a nurse"
"And you're not a SHEILD agent."
"What was her name again?"
"Sharon…She's nice."
Despite the fact that Natasha Romanoff was great at facades, she couldn't help the look that ghosted over her features. 'She's nice' The words had taken a bit longer to say but it would be better in the long run.
The look didn't go unnoticed by Steve. He wanted to tell her to come with him, but he knew she wouldn't, not without a cover.
Without a second thought she placed a kiss on his cheek. A bittersweet moment. This was it, there was no going back. Giving him one last look she turned around and head the way she had come.
"Be careful, Steve. You might not want to pull on that thread" Looking back at him, the look that was on his features told her everything. He didn't want her to go. He didn't want to ask Sharon out. He wanted her. But here was nothing that could be done.
