Chapter 1 the Assignment

Natasha's POV

I always had a difficult time waking up in the morning sometimes I really forget what it feels like sleeping in, the sensation of continuing a new dream that enters my subconscious. But in this line of work free time doesn't last very long and sometimes the nights are longer than you want them to be. Fury needed us for something wasn't sure what but he was assembling the mighty avengers well some of us.

Banner was overseas working with a S.H.I.E.L.D group in Africa trying to contain a virus spreading through the country Fury sent him to handle and distribute vaccinations he wouldn't be back for another few days, and Thor well the big guy was taking care of some daddy issues back home on Asguard he told us that he wasn't sure when he would be back, I had to admit that I liked having the big guy around, he was so kind to me he was fun to talk to.

It was quieter without him which lost its touch after a while. And Stark was off doing god knows what I didn't really care at that point I really enjoyed his absence.

So with the team's two biggest hitters and Tech head out, it was now up to the Soldier, Spy, and Archer to do whatever it was that Fury wanted. The boys were probably getting the call same as me, now I knew that Rogers would get up no problem or questions asked but Barton not so sure.

I climbed out of bed and changed into my work clothes as I liked to call them, guns loaded ready to go to work. I walked out of my room realizing that it was still dark out it was still late at night. But regardless night or day still had to stay focused.

In order to save time Fury had sent all Four of us a file detailing the mission and what we had to do. The mission was simple.

Hydra was up to its old tricks again. Only now they were involving others in their affairs rumors had been going around about a secret auction circle that ran all through Hydra.

Picking specific locations and setting up the auctions and guess what they're selling?

Weapons, lots of them high tech bigger and better than anything they've built in the past 70 years. This was going to be tuff but I had my boys by my side to watch my back so that made me feel better.

I arrived at the Quinjet early waiting on the boys now. Man and I thought that Stark was always late but then again he only did that to piss us all off.

I was happy when Clint showed up minutes later.

"Hey sleep well?" I ask as he sits next to me on the jet, then buckles up.

"Like a rock thanks" He smiles "You?"

"Dreamed I was on that beach again" I say grinning

"Did you see bunnies this time?" He asked me

"No it was dark this time and I was watching the stars shine" I reply

"Sounds nice"

"Oh it was, just mad that it ended" I smile brightly

"Am I late?" The soldier asked as he sat on the other side of me on the jet then strapped himself in.

"Any later Capsicle and you'd beat Tony's time" Clint laughed

"Well we don't want that Tony still needs something to be proud of and I'd hate to steal his thunder"

This comment made me laugh and Steve always told me that he wasn't funny.

"So how are you?" The Captain asked me as the jet left the landing platform and was now in the air, zooming towards our destination.

"Doing fine and you?"

"Same thanks"

"Sleep well"

I noticed that the soldier hesitated before he answered my question.

"Ok" He says avoiding my gaze.

Rogers always was a terrible liar, but I respected his privacy, it must have been the nightmares the constant bad dreams that he's been having for the past few months, when I get the chance maybe id talk to him about it.

"So what does Fury have for us Nat?" Clint asked as he fiddled with one of his trick arrows.

I removed a small disk from a pouch on my belt and pressed a small button which showed a holo image of the assignment, a list of names containing who was on S.H.I.E.L.D's most wanted, and images of the weapons themselves.

"Most of this you both already know. But no matter what we have to make sure that these guns get off the streets and take down the people holding the auctions."

"How many sites are involved in the circle?" asked Cap.

"At least 12" I say pulling up a list of locations. "But sadly we only know where one is so Fury wants us to head to the base of operations and shut them down first"

"Location?" Clint asked

I pull up a map, I see Steve turn white

"Germany" He whispered I saw his fists clench up and his body began to shake so I quickly turned the image off.

"You ok?" I questioned trying to recall a time when the Captain was ever so tense, even Clint could see it.

"I'm fine" He finally said "Just reflecting"

I nodded but still kept my eye on the Soldier as I continued briefing the boys.

"S.H.I.E.L.D believes that the site in Germany is visited more than of the twelve total auction sites, it's also the site that supplies the rest of the eleven auctions with brand new weapons we cut off supply lines for the rest of the sites they'll all burn to the ground"

"Does S.H.I.E.L.D have a way for us to get in?" Barton questioned "It's not like we can just walk in the front door"

"Actually we can" I smile

Both the boys stared at me with very confused expressions

"Part of our mission is to go undercover as buyers and expose them out in the open and get any data we can about the other sites over the globe once we've done that it will be much easier for S.H.I.E.L.D to take them down since we only know where the site in Germany is, that data will help us locate the other 11 sites"

"Sounds like a plan, what's our cover story?" The soldier asked as the plane landed and we all unbuckled from our seats.

"That depends" I begin "Either of you ever have a sister before?"

It took every ounce of will power I had not to burst out laughing as I say the guys stare at one another with very worried looks on their faces.

This is gonna be fun.
