Natasha opened her eyes and realized that she had fallen asleep. In an instant, she was fully awake and looked over to Steve.
He sat slouched against the seat and had fallen asleep as well. It was then that Natasha realized that she was snuggled close to his body. She could feel the warmth radiating from him and didn't want to move but knew she had to.
Falling asleep in conditions like this was not acceptable. No matter how tempting it was to just try to go back to sleep and be so close to someone who made her weak in the knees.
"Steve." She said as she shook his shoulder. "Steve, wake up."
Steve stired with a small groan and opened his eyes.
"That's it. Wake up, Steve." she encouaraged.
"Natasha?" Steve asked. "What...what's going on?"
"It's alright. We just fell asleep."
"How long?"
"I'm not sure." She answered. "Not long. I don't think. How do you feel?"
"Better than when we first woke up like this." Steve answered. "You feel alright?"
"Yeah." She answered. "Just a little headache."
"You cold?"
Natasha knew that was a silly thing to answer. Sure they were surrounded by freezing winds and snow and ice but she wondered if Steve knew how warm he was. His body was just gushing out warmth and she barely felt any cold.
"I'm fine." she answered. "You?"
"I can handle it." Steve answered. "I was around this kind of weather for over half a century."
"I honsetly can't imagine what that was like." she said as she wrapped her blanket around herself more.
"Guess it was a good thing that I was 'sleeping' the entire time." Steve said.
"Did you dream?" she asked.
"I honestly don't remember." he answered. "It all happened so quickly. I want to say that I did but I can't remember."
"Well, for you, it did happen pretty quickly." she said.
"Yeah." Steve agreed. "So, any idea how this happened?"
"Not sure." Natasha answered. "It couldn't have been the weather. The winds weren't strong enough to bring us down like that."
"You think that it could have been an enemy attack?" Steve asked.
"By who?"
"Well, we did a raid on a supposedly abandoned hide-out and took everything that was inside. What if someone was using it and managed to find out who took all their supplies?"
"They would have to have some serious toys to find out it was us and be able to shoot us down." Natasha said. "But...it is possible. Which means..."
"They'll come looking for us." Steve finished.
