That request surprised Steve. A shocked look appeared on his face and he didn't know exactly what to say.

"Ok. I will." – This was all he managed to speak.

They both got up and went to her bedroom. A weird feeling took over Steve's body and mind. He truly cared about Natasha, considered her a great friend, but he felt confused. Deep down he had feelings for her.

"I'm using the restroom." – Steve said when Natasha started undressing to put on her pajamas.

He washed his face, took a deep breath and put on his pajamas. Afterwards went to her bedroom again.

She was lying in bed already. He lied next to her and turned the light off, clicking on the button that was on his side of the bed.

"What do you think will happen from now on? With the team, I mean." – Natasha asked.

"Don't know." – Steve sighed. "Tony means well, I know he does. He went through a lot, with what happened to his parents. I don't condemn his behavior."

"He just needs time. So do you." – Natasha whispered to Steve, while stroking his hair.

"I left a letter at his place, saying I'd be there if he needs me. Just has to contact me."

"He will, eventually. We just have to stay low for a while more."

"Before coming to you, Sam and I were helping people. Doing what we do better. Just because we're hiding doesn't mean we gotta stop being fighters."

"Are you inviting me to join you and Sam in your mission?" – She said playfully.

Steve chuckled. "Yes. You don't have to be alone anymore. I'm here, Nat. If it's ok with you, I'd like to stay here with you for several days. You know, lay low. After that you can come with me. We meet Sam and decide what to do next."

"Fine by me, Rogers." – Natasha closed her eyes and crossed her arms, while laying on her back.

"Let's sleep now. Night." – Steve too closed his eyes.
