Disclaimer: I do not own anyone or anything from Avengers or Captain America or anything else associated with it!

AN: So those of you who have read my ABC guides for other fandoms know what you expect from this. I have not seen Winter Soldier yet so if I made mistakes with facts I do apologize. Anyways, I have never written Steve and Natasha before so I am sorry in advance if it sucks. Also, I do not have a beta reader and because of my health problems I am usually exhausted by the time I finish and chapter and do not feel like going over it. Anyways, if you all like this I may do more stories based on this pairing in the future. These ABC guides are usually broken up in to three parts and so this one shall be as well.

A- Avengers. Family had never really been something Natasha had until the Avengers came to be. The members had become important to her in a way foreign to her before this moment. Bruce was the father of the group, Pepper the mother, Stark the rebel who did not play by the rules, Clint who was the brother you went to if you needed help, and Natasha and Steve had started out as the two who always bickered with each other before ending up as the young couple in love everyone else envied though they would never admit the truth out loud.

B- Breathe. During a rather dangerous mission Natasha had taken a bullet to the chest and she wasn't breathing. Steve leaned over her bloodied body as he tried to get her heart beating and her breathing once again. "Come on Nat, don't you dare die on me. Breathe Tasha, please breathe!"

C- Captain. The first time Natasha met Steve Rogers AKA Captain America, she wasn't sure what to think. Of course she had heard all about him from Phil and Fury, but she had to been able to make her own assessment of his character. After working with him for a while, the female spy had to agree with Tony Stark; Steve Rogers really was a living legend who lived up to the legend part.

D- Deadly. The first time Steve saw Natasha in action, the only thought that crossed his mind was the fact only was she beautiful, but she was deadly as well. Yes, Natasha Romanoff was a lethal and deadly package of brains, skill, and beauty.

E- Earring. "Hey Nat," Steve jogged to catch up with her as she continued down the hall. When he finally made it to her side, he held out one single emerald earring. "I think you must have forgotten this in my apartment last night. I thought spies were supposed to be skilled in the art of disguising themselves and making sure no trace of them is left behind? If you're not careful then people may find out about us sooner than you want."

F- Faulty. "Cap, the trigger mechanism is faulty and I can't stop it. You gotta go, get as many people out as you can." The redheaded spy glanced behind her as she spoke.

"I won't leave you behind!" He called out over the noise of screaming people and gun fire. "Either we both get out or we both go down together."

Natasha would have been awed by the sweet gesture had it not been a life or death situation. "This is no time to be noble Cap. Just go save yourself!"

G- Gloom. Natasha had been full of doom and gloom lately and she had no idea why. Clint had suggested it may have something to do with the fact Steve had been gone for over a week on a mission. She blew off his comment even though a part of her wondered if the archer had been right. Could she possibly be feeling this way due to the fact Captain America wasn't around? What did it mean if Clint had been right?

H- Hit. Natasha and Steve had decided to have lunch together since most everyone else was out on a mission or taking some personal time. They had been spending more time together lately and were rather good this particular day however, things were about to change.

"Quick Cap, I need you to kiss me." The female spy hid her face with her hand the best she could as a few people walked by. "You see that guy over there in the yellow shit and red hat? well we used to date and our breakup was messy to say the least. He put a hit out on me and I smashed in the windshield to his viper and the last thing I want to do is deal with him today if he sees me so I need you to kiss me Cap, it's not like you haven't done it before on a mission."

If possible Steve turned redder than a vampire with sunburn. "Uhh, well Nat, that was different. I mean-I just-"

Natasha rolled her eyes before leaning across the table and pressing her lips against his. She kept the kiss going until her ex had passed them by. As soon as he was out of sight she pulled away with a small smirk. "You've been practicing since the last time."

I- Idolized. "Doesn't it ever bother you?" Natasha had not meant to speak the words out loud, but when she noticed the stare Steve was getting, especially from the women, she could not keep her mouth shut.

The man out of time shot her a confused smile. "Does what bother me?"

"Being idolized." She replied bluntly. "All these people look up to, they find no flaws in your character and expect you to succeed in every task you take on. Doesn't it ever bother you? I mean you are only human after all."

Steve crossed his arms as he thought for a moment. "It used to get to me, but someone told me a true hero is someone who does all they can do with the limits they have and that is what I am doing; I work to the best of my abilities and try not to linger on things I cannot do. I never pretend to be something I am not."
