Hey everyone sorry to say I had lost all motivation to do anything for this story but I'm back anyway going back over the previous texts and reading it I can see the discrepancy between Points of view so from now on the rest of the story will be in whatever pov as I can't be bothered with trying to make sure I use the correct tenses also I'm just going with the creative flow so here you go and enjoy, please be sure to comment and leave me notes on how I'm doing or where things could go thanks.
Steve returned to shield with Natasha the next day, although both she and Nick had told him he needed time to mourn he decided to not listen and to get back into the fight pushing himself harder and harder with each mission, he hadn't had time in the past to mourn Bucky and with how painful his heart felt he didn't know how he would respond if he gave himself time to let it sink in, so he pushed it down and powered on like he always had.
Whilst Natasha could see how bad this was for Steve and how much he needed her she just couldn't muster the courage to help Steve when she hadn't, couldn't, confide in Steve what she had done for the KGB. It killed her but she was the black widow and she didn't do emotions she knew seduction and she knew violence but that was it, that night had been to take away Steve's pain but all it had done was make him recluse in his time out of shield. Over the week he became more tight lipped every day holding everything close to his chest trying to rebuild the walls he had erected when Bucky had died, only for them to torn down by Peggy's death, he wanted justice so much that it boiled in his veins and every throb of his noble heart burned him to his core, then it happened.
With Steve only feeling any kind of normalcy when fighting he took a mission, deep cover, the mission was simple he was just meant to infiltrate a hydra splinter cell and steal vital information for shield on a possible new super serum. A simple in and out that could have easily been done by Natasha except one thing the target with the information on its location was none other than madam hydra. Two things were causing trouble in this mission; one she had no interest in women with what shield could gather so any work Natasha could have done wouldn't have been for squat and two, recent encounters with hydra showed an advancement in weaponry at an extraordinary rate and Steve wasn't going to risk anyone's life but his own. The fire in Steve's eyes dared anyone at the table to question him, even Nick didn't want to be on the receiving end of Captain Americas displeasure let alone Natasha who'd been compromised by him.
'A Dossier with all relevant information has been sent to your quarters ill expect your planning will take some time. Dismissed' said fury with that Steve replied with a salute and 'Sir' at which he took his leave to get ready. 'Surely you can see this is a bad idea' calmly stated Natasha but even then you could hear the concern behind that statement, Nick turned to look at her with his eye, 'If you think you can change his mind be my guest but he is as much as a stubborn ass as you are.' And with a slight twitch of the lips he walked off as she watched Steve walk down the hall to the double doors.
With Steve leading the Planning it took only a day and a half, Steve would infiltrate hydra through a ball they were having in Romania as Professor Samson Rawle , back up would be Hill as his 'wife' Dr Mary Hughes joining him at the ball, she would then proceed to try and gather as much information as possible with the other guests whilst 'Rawle' would be trying to get close to Viper, he would try to build a rapport with her then proceed to 'flirt', he would try to get her to talk about the location of their hidden base in Slovakia without letting her on to them, then Natasha and the squads would come in and extract them with Clint providing over watch from the nearby mountains. The plan was set a Helli-carrier would be 10 minutes out with a couple strike squads on standby, Steve knew how critical this was if they were going to find the facility.
With the night of the ball finally upon them a slow buzz was building throughout the teams and especially Natasha, Steve and Hill were going to arrive and mingle within the next 30 mins then if everything went according to plan within roughly 45-60 mins Steve would seduce and interrogate Madam Viper at which point the two teams and Natasha would come in and arrest everyone they could before extracting the two from the group without anyone even noticing, but under the calm demeanour a pit was forming in her stomach. Not even 20 minutes later Clint radioed in with confirmation of the arrival of Steve and Hill, 'well it's too late to back out now' muttered Nat.
'Professor Samson Rawle' and 'Dr Mary Hughes' proceeded calmly along the carpet, leading to the stairs and where their target was located, arms linked but Steve's pulse was anything but. Maria could feel his pounding heartbeat through his chest where her arm pressed against his side, she could tell he was excited to be actually doing something she could see it in his eyes, they never left the doors ahead of them. To be honest so was she, she had been cooped up on the Helli-carrier for the last 4 months so being out on a mission was certainly getting her a little excited it certainly helped that she was on this with Steve, he was to give it a better lack of word 'beautiful', his cleanly pressed tux strained to confine his muscles and his hair dyed dark brown lay carefully crafted on his head to try and help disguise his appearance, and the charming grin on his face made her heart flutter. Steve then seemed to notice her staring and proceeded to stare back taking in her appearance, she had chosen a lovely blue dress that elegantly hugged every curve from her shoulders and breasts to her hips and bum she was stunning and all Steve could do was stare at her eyes darkening with lust. Maria noticed this and hers responded as well but was soon able to get herself under control and began leading Steve inside as she whispered, 'maybe after the mission was finished'.
As they walked through the grand arch leading into the hall Steve couldn't help but slow down a little as he took in the environment, a gentle classical jazz was being played by a live band in the corner, soft lighting and smoke filled the room from cigarettes and cigars being used throughout the room. They made their way across the red velvet carpets and marble floors towards the bar, as they approached they heard a velvety high pitched voice talking within a group not too far away thanking them and discussing "future plans" in a thick eastern European accent Steve turned his head slight to get a better look at who it could be and found his target, he could understand why she was surrounded by men ,she was around 5ft 4 rich brown hair and was and was wearing a stunning looking dress that showed off her legs which seemed to go on for days and a cleavage that would have looked daring even on Natasha , it would be what stark had mentioned to Steve at the last office party as "a sausage fest" if it weren't for the few women not including 'Mary' intermittently sprinkled throughout with the partners they attended with.
The two of them approached the bar to order their drinks as they got to the bar 'Mary' noticed their target was approaching the stage, where the singer was slowly bringing the song to an end, and had started to make her way up the little flight off to the side, she then made her way over towards the microphone and began to give a welcoming speech, the large hydra flag resting against the wall behind her head. Dark green, almost black, long flowing hair wrapped around one side of her body covering the left side of the face, bright green lipstick stretched over smiling lips, followed by a dark green Victorian styled dress with black corset around narrow hips. Steve almost forgot that they had been waiting on their drinks thanked the bar man looking back he saw Maria had noticed their target and was watching intently. As the speech went on Steve had settled standing next to her with one arm wrapped around her waist the other holding his Whiskey, now don't get me wrong Steve liked Whiskey now and again but he was more of a beer type of guy so to save himself from finishing his drink to quickly he began to slowly perceive the crowd that now was giving the women on stage all of their attention to what she was saying and out of the corner of his eye he saw the woman with the thick European accent begin to be led off towards a set of doors quite roughly by a set of what appeared to be security guards. Before Maria had a clue what was going on Steve had said he would be back in a minute, kissed the side of her head and had begun walking towards side of the room where a door reading staff only could be seen. She barley caught a glimpse of the event that had spurred Steve into action and could only mutter "I hope you know what you're doing Steve".
From on top of the stage Viper stared out across the room, a sea of faces was staring back enthralled by what she was saying, except for two people, she could see one was a man walking away from the stage and another no doubt his wife staring after him. Normally she would be able to draw the attention of everyone in the room and yet here was a man who didn't care enough to stay in the presence of the stage let alone look at it, following the line in which the man was walking she saw the tail end of her favourite toy Wanda Maximoff being 'chaperoned' by one of the guards who had been sent to collect her from using her powers on the wealthy men here to help fund her and Hydra's research, through the door that lead to the suite cells. Viper may have been keeping Wanda and her brother as a prisoner, but they were well looked after, they were after all her most prized weapons especially against people like shield and the Avengers. With the end of the speech applause came from the crowd and a mild chat begun from within the crowd as people began talking to each other and Viper made her way down towards where she had seen the wife of the man who had some how drawn her attention more than anyone had before. She slowly made her way through the crowd greeting people along the way till she got close to the bar, as she approached the bar she caught a glimpse of the woman still looking in the direction her husband had been last seen. Taking her Vodka with a lime twist she prowled towards the back of the wife, taking her by surprise she wrapped her arm around the woman's waist drawing her attention and causing her to jump slightly, all viper did was give a small grin with her emerald green lips and procced to kiss her causing the women to tense up from the shock of it. When she pulled away the women was staring back in shock, "Madam Hydra! … uhh that was a lovely speech I'm sure you will be receiving a lot of donations tonight" the woman stammered unaware of the bright green lipstick covering her own ruby red one. "I would say thankyou for your kind words if I hadn't happen to notice that whilst I was talking your attention had been taken with the man whom I assume is your husband left, I" "I'm so sorry Madam Hydra I didn't mean to offend you my husband has some tedious habits which whilst I love him for also can be seen as quite rude and" "No worry my dear and please call me Viper, anyway I wanted to just ask you something before I was on my way, and that's if you and your husband are into 'sharing'" she finished with a lustful grin. All Mary 'maria' Hughes could do was once again stair back in shock and nervously grin back.
Please Leave a comment on how this could be improved, sorry again about taking so long, just been having problems on how to make the story flow instead of writing like one shots.
