Chapter 2:

Sorry I haven't been update I've been really busy. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Note: I accidently uploaded the wrong document last time but this is the correct chapter 2.

Standing there in the elevator with Graters sroller was none other than Steve Rogers looking a little confused.

"What are you doing here?" asked Natasha in shock. She was supposed to be undercover and running into someone familiar could ruin her cover. It was strange that SHIELD would assign Natasha the job of spying on the Archibalds when Steve lived a few floors above them in the same apartment builing.

The puzzled look remained on Steve's face, "What do you mean? I live here. You left your stroller in the elevator by the way."

Shaking her head she took the stroller from Steve. "I thought you lived in Brooklyn." Lowering her voice, "I'm supposed to be undercover as a nanny."

"Oh, I was wondering why you had a stroller." Both of them stood there not knowing what to do but the Grayer's voice reminded Natasha of the task at hand.

Walking back to the locked door Natasha started banging on the door. Perhaps the maid would hear her and help her out. "GRAYER! Open the door!"

"I'm taking off all my clothes!" he yelled back definantly. Just as she was tempted to break the door open Steve intervened.

"Do you mind if I help you out?" he asked.

"Sure go ahead." At this point any help would be appreciated but Natasha wasn't sure how Steve was with kids.

Steve walked over to the door and knocked on it lightly. "Grayer, it's your pal from upstairs. Can you unlock the door for my friend? It's not nice to lock people out."

The door creaked open a little and Grayer appeared wearing only his boxers. "She's your friend?" he asked.

Smiling up at Natasha, "Yes she's my new friend. Isn't she your friend too?"

Grayer was silent for a few seconds, "Not yet." He left the door open for Natasha to enter as he ran off.

She had to hand it to Steve he sure was good at persuading people. "Thanks, Steve. I really appreciate it," she said as she went into the apartment.

"No problem," replied Steve smiling as Natasha closed the door behind her.


Natasha did not run into Steve for a couple days until it was the fourth of July. Much to Natasha's annoyance Mrs. Archibald had requested that she and Grayer dress up for a fourth of July party the entire family was to attend. The costume that Mrs. Archibald picked up for Natasha was a Betty Ross costume and Grayer would accompany her as George Washington. The entire family went in the same car to the party and on their way there Grayer starting yelling and screaming that he left his father's business card. Both his parents were on the phone and they attempted to ignore him but they then gave in and told the driver to go back to their apartment. While working for the Archibald's Natasha noticed that Grayer always had his father's business card pinned to his pants. She also noticed that his parents often ignored him especially Mr. Archibald, she figured the business card was like a "security blanket".

Mrs. Archibald turned to Natasha, "Natalie, quickly go and get Grayer's business card that he pins on his pants. We're already late so please hurry."

Even though Natasha was already in a bad mood because of her outfit she had no choice but to oblige. Sprinting back into the apartment she noticed one the elevators about to close.

"Hold the elevator!" she yelled as she ran to the elevator. The person inside the elevator held the door for her so she could get in. With all the running this mission might not be so different from all the others she had to do for SHIELD. Much to Natasha's shock the last person she wanted to see (with the exception of Tony Stark) was standing in the elevator.

Steve stood there in shock for a couple seconds as he took in Natasha's "patriotic" outfit that had been handpicked by Mrs. Archibald. He took her Betty Ross outfit (that looked like it was made out of the American flag), accessorized with a cap, granny glasses and an apron. Suddenly he started laughing uncontrollably much to Natasha's dismay.

'How ironic that Captain America of all people would be making fun of me in this stupid outfit' she thought. "You of all people shouldn't be laughing, Captain America!" she snapped as Steve continued to laugh even though she was glaring at him angrily through her granny glasses.

Finally he stopped laughing, "I'm sorry, it's one thing for me but to see you wearing the stars and stripes I just couldn't help myself." Clearing his throat, "I'm sorry I laughed at you ma'am, you look very patriotic. She could tell from the suppressed smile on Steve's face that he was doing his best to keep himself from laughing.

Finally the elevator stopped at Natasha's floor and she bolted out. As she ran to the apartment door she heard Steve laughing before the elevator closed.

Fuming she unlocked the apartment door and went to Grayer's room to find the business card. She found the business card pinned on to Grayer's pants and she unpinned it. Knowing that the Archibald's were probably wondering where she was by now she quickly left the apartment and locked the door. She pushed the button to the elevator and much to her relief the elevator was Steve-free. When she got out of the elevator she ran as fast as her skirt and apron would allow her to the car. When she reached the car she was met with the Archibald's annoyed faces and Grayer's happy one.

"What took you so long?" asked Mrs. Archibald who was still on her cell phone.

"Sorry, Mrs. Archibald this dress was a little difficult to run in." That was an understatement the many petticoats and the hoop skirt that came with her outfit weighted her down and made it difficult to run. If she had known this job would require so much running she would have packed her black cat suit with her.

This job was more taxing than Natasha originally thought, and the fact that Steve lived upstairs to witness her misery only made it much worse.

Please take the time to review! Thanks for being so patient and thanks for reading. :)
