Chapter Three: The Strange Saga Continues

"So," Stark asked, "What happened next?"

"Are you on the edge of your seat, Stark?" Natasha laughed at him

"Not at all," Stark shook his head, "Just a little curious about how two total opposites ended up together."

"Well, then, shut up." Natasha laughed, "We wandered around a while until Sam settled back down, bought a house and everything.

So it was just Steve and I, an interesting experience for both of us. We didn't really know what to do next. One day I finally had enough of wandering.

'Steve,' I said

'What?' He asked looking up from the newspaper in his hands

'We have to do something. Wandering around and doing nothing is getting old.' I replied

'Is the super spy bored with life as a "fugitive"?' Steve chuckled as he folded away the paper

'Shut up, Steve.' I replied, 'What is there to see?'

'You mean here, in America? A road trip to see the sights?' Steve raised an eyebrow

'Not just here,' I answered, 'We could go anywhere.'

So, that night passed away with us researching places to visit. We had almost gone insane with boredom and couldn't take it anymore."

"We?" Steve chuckled giving his fiancé a look

"Okay fine, I had almost gone insane from boredom and was driving you up the wall from my insanity." Natasha laughed and rolled her eyes good-naturedly

"Much better," Steve kissed her cheek, "You may continue."

"Thank you," She replied, "The first place we went was Dubai."

"Why Dubai?" Stark asked, "I mean really, why Dubai?"

"Honestly?" Natasha laughed, looking up at Steve who took her hand, "We have no idea.

Anyway, we left the next morning. We rode to the airport in Steve's motorcycle. The flight was fifteen hours long. We played cards while we waited for the plane to land. I had suggested first class but Steve insisted that we rode coach. He said there were other more "worthy" people.

Finally we reached Dubai. We checked into the Burj al Arab Hotel at around ten at night. We went straight to bed; we were so jet-lagged. I woke to the sound of Steve humming, another strange experience. He finally noticed me, all dressed and ready to go, when he turned around. He stopped humming.

'Where do you want to go?' He asked

'What is there to do here?' I laughed, 'I feel like we should have researched this more.'

'It's our first day here,' Steve paused, 'How about something relaxing, like the beach?'

'Sure,' I grinned, 'If you're up for it.'

'Why wouldn't I be?' Steve raised an eyebrow

'You've never been to the beach with a "super spy" have you?' I laughed again

I remember thinking that I had never laughed so much. I had never been this happy.

'Whatever you say,' Steve looked at me warily out of the corner of his eye

'Let's go, "boy scout".' I rolled my eyes, 'Bring your trunks,'

I tossed my swimming supplies over my shoulder. Steve had to drive a car we rented. It was really amusing watching him squeeze into the tiny vehicle. He looked like a giant. I kept laughing all the way there, he just blushed, not bothering to stop me. He knew that wouldn't have done anything.

We pulled up to the beach and changed in the bathrooms. Steve met me on the beach. He saw me and raised an eyebrow. I furrowed my brow at him.

'No bikini for the super spy?'

'Don't you remember?' I rolled my eyes, 'My scar. I did tell you that it meant, 'bye-bye bikinis'.'

'Oh,' he blushed

'What's with you?' I laughed, 'You didn't blush this much during Winter Soldier.'

'Nothing,' He replied, still as red as a tomato

'Right,' I ran into the water, leaving him to stand by himself on the shore

Finally, he followed after and we had an amazing day of fun in the sun. Soon, it was evening and both of us were hungry."

"Candle-lit dinner time?" Stark laughed, "So typical. So... NOT entertaining. How about you, Thunder God? How have you been?"

"Stark!" Thor hollered, excessively loud, as per usual, "Let the lady tell her story. No one wants to hear your petty comments."

"Petty," Stark rolled his eyes, "I am NOT petty. YOU'RE petty."

"Ladies, you're both petty," Natasha joked

Everyone's eyes went to Natasha. Hawkeye jumped at Steve.

"What did you do to her?" He growled

"Nothing," Steve replied, chuckling, "Nothing at all."

"That's a lie, Steve," Natasha laughed, "You helped me love."

"That's such a line," Stark rolled his eyes

"DO YOU KNOW WHEN TO SHUT UP?" Thor yelled

"No," Stark laughed, "No I do not."
