After the whole ordeal with the diary, Steve returned to his normal routines. He had finished his early morning exercises, entered the locker room and started his shower.

"When Captain America throws his mighty shieeeeld….all those who oppose his shield must yieeeld! If he's led to a fight and a duel is due, then the red, white, and blue'll come through when – AHHHHhh!"

Steve screamed and grabbed on to the shower curtain and clutched it to himself protectively. Natasha stood on the on the other side of the curtain, outside the shower smiling amusedly. "What the hell, Natasha?" He said annoyed.

"Whatcha doin'?" She said all cute and innocent.

Steve narrowed his eyes at her. "Taking a shower."

When she didn't reply, he continued. "You know, a shower? Hot water, soap, shampoo…"

"Naked. Yeah, I know the drill." She said.

"Privacy. That would be another factor of a shower, which I would like some of, thank you very much." He said.

She smiled coyly and disappeared as quickly as she had appeared. Steve couldn't find it in himself to start singing again, but by the time he finished his shower his good humor had returned and he was whistling to himself. He stepped out of the shower squeaky clean in all his glory. He turned to reach for his towel only to see that it was no longer there. He stared blankly at the empty towel rack for a long moment as if waiting for his towel to magically reappear. He looked to the bench where his clean clothes were supposed to be were now gone too. Then he looked at the floor where he had left his dirty clothes in a pile was now missing.

"Well this is a very interesting situation." He thought to himself. He looked to the clock to see it was almost time for S.H.I.E.L.D. team training and he still couldn't find his clothes. Steve turned red at the thought of what he had to do. They would never let him live this down. Ah hell, he thought and took off running for his room.

In the hallways he passed Hawkeye and Thor. They stared after him in quiet amazement.

"Odin's beard!" Thor said.

"That's not Odin's beard." Hawkeye said, leaning around Thor to look down the hall still disbelievingly. "That's Steve in his birthday suit!"

Bruce was walking in the hall, staring down at his research papers when Steve passed him by in a hurry. Bruce stopped walking and stared at the floor for a long second. Then he tilted his head back and pinched his nose. "What the hell did I just see?"

"Jarvis, can you run those scans again." Tony said. He leaned back in his chair and sipped his coffee, facing the glass doors of his lab. Steve ran by just then at that moment. Tony's eyes grew wide. He spit out his coffee and sat up in his chair choking on it. He let out a long stream of cuss words. "Sir?" Jarvis asked concerned as Tony went into a coughing fit.

Back in the hallway, Steve finally arrived to his door. He jiggled the door knob but it wouldn't open. "Damn it! Jarvis, open this door!" Steve yelled. Finally the door clicked open and Steve rushed in. He quickly went to go put on some clothes. Shoveling through his drawers, he searched for some underwear, but he couldn't find any. He checked the second and the third drawer but they were all empty. His underwear were missing. He hesitatingly looked over at his dirty laundry bin. He shuffled through it and realized his dirty ones were gone too. Not that he was very settled on that idea anyways. He got dressed and decided going commando for a day wouldn't hurt him.

He entered the obstacle training room and saw some of his teammates were already there. They stared at him when he came in. "Captain America is late!" Thor announced.

"It must be the end of the world. Steve is never late." Bruce said.

"Captain Mooner is also Captain tardy pants!" Hawkeye said laughing. Natasha just stood with her arms crossed and a small smile.

Just then Tony entered. He cringed when he saw Steve. He put his hand up to cover his eyes as he passed by Steve. "I can never look at you the same way again, Rogers."

"Hot damn, Rogers! You put all of us to shame." Hawkeye said. "I've never said this before but, you are my hero! That took courage!" Hawkeye admitted his new found respect for Steve.

Steve grew annoyed with all of them. "Oh, you can all just stuff it!" he said.

"Gee, what's got your undies in a bunch?" Hawkeye asked.

"He's not wearing any." Natasha proclaimed, speaking for the first time. Steve blushed, proving it true. The room went silent. Everyone stared intently at Captain America.

"Awkward." Tony said.

"Son of America, what has happened to your undergarments?" Thor asked.

Steve rolled his eyes. "I don't know. Why don't you ask Natasha were she's hid them?"

Tony grinned. He was holding back laughter. He had an impulse need to high five Natasha on the most perfect prank played on Captain America so far. Too bad he was too scared to get near the she devil.

"Okay, I think that is enough of sharing time. Can we please start now?" Bruce asked.

So they began their obstacle training course with live bullet rounds, missiles, angry Robots and hidden surprises. They even went against each other. Thor, Bruce and Hawkeye finished early and had already left. Steve and Tony were working on taking one of the robots down.

Steve was dodging ever blast sent his way, and then it was his turn to fire back. He pulled his shield of his back and used it to reflect the blast and redirect it right back at the bot. It worked and slowed it down. Tony took over from there. Steve was getting ready to throw his shield to take out one of its limbs when Natasha jumped on his back and surprise attacked him.

They tumbled to the ground with Natasha landing on top of his chest. She giggled and leaned closer to his face. Her hair spilled around their faces like a curtain secluding them. He caught her scent, she smelled nice and her hair pleasantly tickled his ear. Steve wasn't sure what to do. He squirmed a little, aware of Natasha pressing on him. His hands had unconsciously gone to her waist to hold her steady when they had fallen. He wasn't sure where to put them now. Natasha's face was hovering close to his and he could feel her warmth radiating against his face. He suddenly wanted to touch her skin. She was smiling at him and her eyes looked so inviting and he wanted to smile with her too.

"You guys!" Tony yelled, the robot had cornered him. "A little assistance here would be nice!" But they weren't listening to him. Suddenly more robots appeared out of the shadows and started heading his way.

"Um-"Steve said. "I think we should… I-I mean-" Steve was busy stumbling over his words and had tuned out Tony's screaming as he was being chased by angry robots.


A/N: You guys, I'm a Stony fan so you don't know how hard it was to refrain myself from weaving in some TonyxSteve in there. Lol The next chapter may be a little short. I got one of the ideas for this chapter from a book I've read. So credit goes to Becca Fitzpatrick for the lines where they are talking about the factors of a shower. Oh, and the song Steve was singing in the shower was the Captain America theme song from the 1960s. Well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter!=D
