First things first, how awesome was Doctor Who last night? Only took them about 55 years but we got a female Doctor and she is fabulous. Anyway, enough gushing. Back to what you actually came here for.

Chapter Two

The one perk Steve had found in Stonebridge was the number of surrounding hills he could climb during his morning run. Even though he was not seeing the point in running to keep his stamina up, it did give him some space to think. Given it was the early hours of the morning, people were still sleeping and only a few shops were beginning to open. Steve always dropped by one shop on the run back to the cottage to grab a newspaper.

Only today, he had to stop and read the headline carefully: Ellen Nadeer, a United States senator who had been outspoken on her distrust of Inhumans, had been killed in an explosion caused by an Inhuman.

"That's the reason we have these Sokovia Accords," the shopkeeper said. "Who knows who can walk into a building and be able to blow themselves up. Look what happened in Nigeria last year. Who knows if that Maximoff woman purposely blew up that office building."

Despite the rage brewing in his blood, Steve paid for the newspaper before running back to the cottage. Wanda was awake now, and she was cooking breakfast. She turned around and smiled at him, "Hey." He smiled back at her softly, but then put down the newspaper. "What now?"

"You know that senator who rants about Inhumans?" Wanda nodded and rolled her eyes. "She's been killed by an Inhuman."

Steve watched as the realisation dawned on Wanda's face what this meant. "So that's more tightened rules for enhanced individuals."

"More than likely."

"They are never going to see the difference between those who use their powers for bad and those who use it for good, are they?" Steve thought back to what the shopkeeper said about the incident in Lagos. Anyone could see it was an accident, but what Wanda just said hit him like a ton of bricks. "I guess they are scared of things they can't understand. Even I can't understand what this is." Wanda held her hand up and the red glow emitted from it. "You know what, I would like to see them try to make Thor sign the Accords."

Steve let out a small laugh, "I doubt they will get very far." Steve walked over to her and placed his hands on her waist.

"I must have been given these powers for a reason. I broke free from the Compound because I can overpower the Mind Stone. How is that possible? Thor said that they were so powerful that they had to be kept safely away. Away from what?"

"Well, that is what he was supposed to be finding out. He said what you showed him involved the other stones."

"Maybe because the Mind Stone gave me my powers, I am immune from its effects." Steve pondered this for a moment and he had a terrifying thought that if there was a point where whoever was after the Infinity Stones came for the Mind Stone, Wanda would be harmed just as much as Vision would be. "Hopefully it will never come to that."

Steve squinted, "Did you just read my mind?"

"I just needed to know what you were thinking. I'm just hoping that Thor will stop it before it gets to that point." Steve pressed a kiss against her forehead and hugged her close to his body. Wanda breathed deeply and pulled away. Once she composed herself, she asked, "You hungry?"

"Yeah," he whispered. He let her go and watched her plate up breakfast. If you took one look at Wanda, she did not appear to be powerful. She looked perfectly normal, and yet she had a power that they did not know the full extent of, or why she was given this power.

He shook his head. Wanda was right. He would only worry about it when they hit that hurdle.

-o-

It was later in the evening that Steve was sitting on the bed reading a book while Wanda was practising some yoga poses. Her flexibility had improved since she started taking it up seven months before and it had toned her arms, stomach, legs and buttocks. Said legs and buttocks were becoming a bit of a distraction for Steve, so much so that he had read the same sentence five times.

It was the shorts that added to the sight. It emphasised the supple thighs and the curve of her buttocks. Wanda caught a glance at him looking at her and she decided to tease him. She turned so that her back was facing him and she bent forwards, her backside in the air and she smirked.

"Enjoying the view?" she asked.

"I knew you were teasing me," Steve commented.

Wanda chuckled and stood straight so she could crawl towards him. "I never knew my ass could be such a distraction." She sat astride Steve's hips and she put his book aside. Steve smirked and cupped her ass, giving the flesh a little squeeze. "I always thought you were boobs guy."

"I'm an 'any part of your body' guy."

Wanda chuckled and planted a kiss on Steve's lips. Steve's hands went to her sports bra and he pulled it over her head. He squeezed one of the pillows of flesh and pinched the nipple. Wanda moaned into his mouth and she started grinding herself on Steve's twitching member.

However, Steve's phone rang through the room and Wanda moaned in frustration. Steve grumbled as he leaned over, muttering something about Natasha and Sam's poor timing, only he froze when he saw the name was neither.

"Sharon?" Wanda asked looking at the name.

Steve answered the phone and put it to his ear, "Sharon, what's going on?"

"Steve, we need to talk face to face. It's about your stalker. Meet me in Weymouth tomorrow. I'll be in one of the cafes on the seafront at about 11:00."

The phone hung up suddenly, and Steve looked to Wanda, who seemed very confused. "What's happened Steve?"

"She wants to speak to us about the stalker."

"Do they know who he is?"

"We'll find out tomorrow I guess."

-o-

The bus from Stonebridge dropped them on the seafront and it was just a case of finding the cafe that Sharon was referring to. Eventually, they spotted her blonde hair reflecting the sunlight.

"Hey," Steve greeted. Sharon gave them both a small smile, and Wanda did return it. Despite the initial jealousy of when she first found out about the kiss in Leipzig/Halle Airport, Wanda knew that Sharon was not a threat to her relationship. That said, she was not above putting a possessive hand over Steve's. "So what is going on?"

"Natasha and I have a plan to find out who the stalker is," Sharon explained.

"Okay, that's good."

"However, it does involve bringing you both up to Edinburgh."

Wanda and Steve blinked at her and Wanda asked, "Wouldn't that be putting me in danger?"

"Not necessarily. We don't know how he has been able to follow you. However, if we can get him in the right place at the right time, we might stand a chance of arresting him. We won't be using you as bait, but Natasha has a hunch that if you come to Edinburgh then he might come too."

Wanda and Steve looked to one another and Wanda bit her lip. She said, "It might work, and we do want some answers. It could be a good opportunity."

"You sure about this?" Wanda nodded. "Okay. It's a good plan."

"The thing is that we have a feeling that he is not human," Sharon said.

"You think he might be a shapeshifting alien?" Wanda asked. It sounded so stupid when she said it. Why would an alien be after her?

"Possibly. It means we have to hand him over to S.H.I.E.L.D."

"I thought-"

"The new director Jeffrey Mace made a deal that if all S.H.I.E.L.D agents sign the Sokovia Accords, the government will re-legitimise the organisation. They have the resources to find out who he is, and we need to know if he is a threat."

"Okay, thanks for letting us know," Steve said.

"Listen, Mace is letting me in on the questioning since I am a former S.H.I.E.L.D agent. I can stick a camera on my collar and that way you two can be on it."

"But what if they start asking questions about whom he is following? Would that not put us in danger?" Wanda asked.

"It depends on how cooperative he is or what his intentions are."

Wanda nodded understanding this and then turned to Steve, "Steve, can you get me a tea please?"

"Sure," he said. "Do you want anything, Sharon?"

"Coffee, please," she answered. When Steve left for the counter, it was just the two women together. "So how long have you and Steve been together?"

"How could you guess?" Wanda asked trying her hardest not the laugh.

"You had his hand on him like you were marking your territory."

Wanda snorted a little, "Sorry, I just know about what happened in Germany."

"You don't have to worry about it. It was stupid and, with hindsight, weird. Even if we tried it would not work out. Part of me would be worrying too much if he liked me for me, not because I was Peggy's niece."

"You know, after I found out about you two, I thought that he was deflecting his feelings about Peggy onto me. I didn't handle it too well, but Steve did reassure me that his feelings for Peggy have nothing to do with how he feels about me, and I believe him."

"Well, you have the benefit of not being a blood relative of a previous love interest." Wanda smiled. She actually found she liked Sharon now the awkwardness had passed. "I think you two are good for one another. You both seem happy."

"We are." Wanda then grew serious. "Sharon, I think the stalker is after me. It seems like everywhere I go he is there. So when you arrest him, I need to speak to him face-to-face."

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Sharon asked. "If you think he is stalking you, don't you consider him a danger to you?"

"It's crossed my mind, but I need to know why he is following me."

"Okay, but I need someone to be in the same room as the two of you in case he becomes violent."

"Okay," Wanda nodded. By that point, Steve had returned with the drinks. "Thanks."

"So, what have you two been talking about?"

"Just tuning Wanda in on the plan," Sharon answered. "I was just getting to who is going to be our lead man on the mission."

"Who is it?"

"Oh, just someone who could take him out with both eyes closed," a male voice said behind them. Steve and Wanda turned around to see Clint Barton standing there, his eyes covered with sunglasses and wearing his brown leather jacket. "So, Nat tells me that you two have been humping like bunnies."

Wanda rolled her eyes but got out of her seat to give him a hug. She said, "I am so glad to see you."

"Hey man," Steve said standing up. "How are you and family?"

"The kids are growing like weeds and Laura's good. Still, wish Ross' minions would piss off and this thing was less itchy." Clint pulled up the hem of his jeans and showed the ankle monitor. "Cut a deal with the CIA that if I cooperated with them on this then I get two years knocked off my sentence."

"How many did they give you?"

"Five years. ll give it this, it means I can officially retire this time."

"Clint, I'm sorry that I put you through that," Steve apologised.

"Hey, I owed a debt," Clint replied. "And I could have said no, so I am as much to blame for this. And who knows, if I take more deals like this then the sentence will be null and void in no time. So back to the plan…"

The plan was that in two days time (to give Steve, Wanda, Sharon and Clint the next day to drive up to Edinburgh), CIA agents would surround the area of the old town where the safe house was - not that the agents aside from Sharon and Clint knew about it - and wait for the stalker to sit on a bench, which according to Natasha was something he did a lot. They would wait an hour before arresting him and handing him over to S.H.I.E.L.D. Clint was there to shoot the stalker, but only to subdue not kill.

Wanda nodded with every instruction. She really hoped that she would get some answers as to why this man was so obsessed with her, and maybe she would not be scared of her own shadow. When she explained her plan to Steve that night, Steve was not exactly happy with it.

"Wanda, a few months ago you were having nightmares that this man was going to kill you," he stated firmly.

"I know Steve," Wanda replied running her hands through her hair. "I just need to hear from his mouth why he has been stalking me."

"I'm not disputing that Wanda. I'm just worried about you being in a room alone with just him."

"You don't think I can take care of myself?"

"It's not that. I don't know how dangerous this guy is. We don't even know if he is human. I just think having someone in there with you is safer than nothing." He walked over and cupped her face. "I don't want to see you hurt."

"I'll be okay Steve. I just want to talk to him."

"Okay, but I stand outside and watch, and if I think it is getting too dangerous, I will jump in. Deal?"

Wanda nodded, "Deal." Steve pressed a kiss to her lips and pulled her into a close hug. "I guess we best start packing then."

Told you guys that Clint and Sharon would be back. Well, the big reveal is next week so final bets people. The odds favourite is Vision but we shall see.
