(Hello-Karmin)
It was a bright, clear morning in New York. Usual traffic is hell. People are dodging one another to get to work. In the midst of the normal buzz a flying toy helicopter zips passed people's heads in the Square. Heidi, dressed as a jogger, spots it and smiles to herself. But she smells Steve close by. Damn it! She moves faster, chasing the zipping toy. She spots him to her left. He sees her too but they turn to the toy. It flies upward toward the top of a building. She makes the decision to jump off of a hotdog stand and leaps for an emergency ladder attached to the side of the building. It didn't take her long to get to the top, where the toy was flying higher. "Come on!" she can hear Steve yell in frustration. As soon as she thought she was clear to get it, Bucky's scent invades her nose. He's on the rooftop too. 'Where the hell did he come from?' she thought to herself. She yells in frustration as she catches up to the Winter Soldier. He turns behind him to smirk at her.
She kicks at his legs to make him trip, He barely dodges but runs into Steve, who manages to join them again. "HA!" Heidi yells behind her as she runs ahead after the chopper. After the guys scramble to their feet they were able to catch up to her. They jump and leap from building to building, chasing the toy chopper. The chopper continues flying forward but the trio start to realize they're running out of buildings to chase it. There's a dead end. 'I can do this,' she thought. Heidi keeps pushing forward, seeing Steve falter behind. The chopper stops in mid air, far enough away from the edge to tease them. "Heidi," Bucky yells in warning but she ignores them. She reaches the edge and leaps, arms stretching out and feet kicking at the air. Her fingertips touch the tail and she was able to grasp it. (pause) But now she's falling with the toy in hand. She twists her body so her hands and head are downward. Within seconds she was able to curl to her side as she crashes into a glass ceiling and tumble into what looks like a greenhouse. "Ugh," she groans as she feels pieces of glass and pottery scratch her skin. She was able to retrieve the toy chopper and get up. Hearing someone's alarmed voice yelling she runs out of there and meets up with the guys in the street. She smiles as she waves the toy at them. They weren't so amused.
"You could've gotten hurt," Steve remarks sternly. "Hey, no guts no glory," she adds with a wink. That made the guys relax and smile. Within seconds a Camaro drives up next to them. The window rolls down and Natasha's face smiles at them. "Atta girl," she cheers. The two girls high five each other. "You guys want a ride back to the compound?" she asks as she reeves up the engine with a suggestive grin. Heidi tosses the toy in the car. "Nah, I'll run back. Thanks though," Heidi fiddles with her Ipod and headphones before taking off. (play song) Steve turns to his best friend with a tired expression. "Damn it." With that the guys run after Heidi to catch up with her. Neither of them wanted to be outdone by her. Natasha shakes her head with a big grin and drives away. (end song)
"I swear they're like golden retrievers on Redbull," Bruce remarks to Tony. They were both watching the exercise through the spy camera on the toy the super soldiers were chasing. "Except she practically IS one," Tony adds. Bruce nods in agreement. Within five minutes of Nat coming back, the trio returned as well. Sweating profusely. Heidi stretches with a big smile. "That was fun," she said. Pepper approaches her. "Let's get you fixed up and showered. You have a conference with the President of Spain in two hours," she says. "Damn, and here I was hoping I missed my window," Heidi complains. "What's he wanting this time?" she asks. "He mentioned a few questions regarding the truce with Austria." Heidi rolls her eyes. "Fine," she turns to the guys. "Same time tomorrow?" "Let's do it in Brooklyn this time," Steve says with a smile. "Nope, you live in Brooklyn." "Key word is LIVED" he calls out to her backside. Bucky's head tilts to the side as he watches Heidi leave with Pepper. Tony and Bruce were noticing this interaction.
"Have you ever thought…if Heidi and one of those two got together and made a baby…what it would be like?" "A super soldier…" Bruce answers blankly. "Exactly. Super Soldier 2.0! Imagine if HYDRA were to try to reproduce the serum naturally. That's scary stuff Bruce." The doctor agreed. If the serum can be transferred through the blood then it is possible Heidi and either Steve or Bucky would have superhuman children. "But what if all three had kids of their own, not with each other, with someone normal…what would be the chances?" He thought out loud. Before they realize it he and Tony buried themselves in their lab while working some math on the odds and possibilities of the super soldiers' genetics being passed down. The numbers were scary. Obviously if pairing two super soldiers is one hundred percent, if not more, surety that their progeny would be enhanced too. Over time, this became a project that was strictly for their eyes only and kept it a secret.
After cleaning up, showering, and meeting with the President of Spain, Heidi was starving. She, Wanda, Pepper and Nat went out together at an outdoor café. Steve and some of the guys were trying to turn on the television to watch a baseball game. Vision pressed a few buttons but somehow used the wrong remote; there's like ten different ones. Pepper's voice echoes out in the entertainment room.
"I don't know how you have the energy to do all that you do on a regular basis. Just watching you work out with Rogers and Barnes makes me tired," Pepper remarks. Heidi finishes chewing her steak before answering, "I have not enjoyed myself more in fact." The guys realized that somehow they're listening to a conversation of the girls.
They turn to Tony. "What? I always have Pepper's phone tapped. You never know." "How do we turn it off?" Steve asks. He didn't like listening to girls' conversation.
"Plus it's a good stress reliever since my sex life is nonexistent right now," they heard Heidi add. The girls laugh.
It got quiet with the guys. Seeing Sam's eyes grow excitedly Steve yells at Tony. "Turn it off now!" "Come on man! This is good," Sam begs. "That's an invasion of privacy, turn it off Tony." Tony pretends he's pressing a few buttons but he's only prolonging it.
"How long has it been?" Nat asks. Heidi was silent for a moment, feeling embarrassed. "Seriously? That long?" "It's been a very busy six months." "Six months!?" The women laughed at Heidi's expense. "So there's nothing with you or the super soldiers?" Wanda asks. "Yeah, you three seem inseparable," Natasha adds. "Well, Steve has been a great instructor and I'm grateful for this chance to do some good in the world. With Bucky…I don't know…" She became very quiet for a moment. She wasn't entirely sure how exactly she feels about him. "..The guys and I…we have a lot in common and yes, we certainly keep up with each other's…stamina…but no, there's nothing going on between us…"
All the guys got quiet and became interested in the conversation.
"So let me ask you this," Pepper starts, "If you had to choose someone to…start up your sex life again…" she smiles as she trails off. "Between Buck and Cap?" Heidi asks. The three women nodded. Amused, Heidi thought about it. "I don't know..." "Well Rogers is a total virgin. I swear his sex life is nonexistent too. It took him MONTHS for him and Sharon to kiss and now I hear that relationship fizzled," Nat states.
Steve turns bright red as the guys snicker at him.
"But Barnes strikes me as a loner, someone who's not really...well, interested…in sex," Pepper argues.
The guys turn to Bucky. His face changes shades and he shifts uncomfortably.
"Like I said, I don't know," Heidi concludes. The girls were silent for a moment. "I bet with your staminas you'd be in bed for days before you get tired," Wanda says sheepishly. All four women laugh loudly. "What about Thor? I hear he's pretty great," Pepper comments.
"Ok. We're done," Tony interrupts and presses the right button. "Well, if no one will…I'll take it for the team!" Sam says with a big grin on his face. The guys knew exactly what he meant. Clint snorts loudly. "No way you would have a chance!" he argues. "Oh and you would?" "I'm married!" "Knock it off guys. Let's just pretend we didn't hear any of this at all," Steve interjects. Sam just grins and wiggles his eyebrows at him and Bucky. "Perhaps Heidi would like a visit to Asgard and witness it's glory! She will certainly be worshipped as a goddess," Thor remarks with a smile. "Oh come on! Your dick isn't that big. Besides, what about your girlfriend?" Tony sasses. "I didn't say I would worship her but I know some who would." "Okay, we're done talking about this," Steve says angrily, "We're not going to make a game out of this." Before things got heated, Tony and Bruce sneak away back to their lab for more tests on their theory.
