Natasha slowly opened her eyes that snapped open when she realized that she'd fallen asleep. She looked to her side and realized that she had her head on Steve's shoulder and that he was asleep.
Even though she didn't want to, Natasha knew she had to wake him up. But he looked so peaceful and worry free as he slept.
She wondered if this was how he looked when he'd been under the ice all those years.
A quick glance at her watch told Natasha that they would have to be on the move in two hours if help didn't arrive soon.
"Steve," she said and gently shook his shoulder. "Steve, wake up."
Steve stirred and woke up almost instantly.
"Wha happened?" he gasped.
"We fell asleep." she answered as she wrapped her blanket around herself more.
"How long?" he asked as he sat up straight.
"We weren't asleep too long." she said and stood. "I'm going to see if we have a line of communication yet."
"I'll come with you." Steve offered as he stood and followed her to the cockpit where the spy began to fiddle with the radio.
"Come in. This is Agent Romanoff. Is anyone there?"
The two waited for what felt like hours filled with eternal silence until...
"Come in...Come in Agent Romanoff. We copy."
The two Avengers sighed in relief.
"This is Agent Romanoff and Captain Rogers. We've been attacked and shot down by an unknown enemy. We are currently stranded in an unknown location. We need rescue immediantly."
"Affermitave Againt Romanoff. We are tracking your location and rescue will be there in an hour. Do you have shelter?"
"Yes. We are still in the jet that we used to come on our mission." Natasha answered. "It's still in tact and providing shelter. We will remain in this location."
"Copy that. Headquarters over and out."
Natasha removed the headset and looked back up at Steve.
"We're going to be alright." she said.
Steve gave her a light smile.
"Let's just wait it out then." he said as they moved back to the mid section of the plane. They sat down in their same spots and stayed close together to keep warm.
"So, we've got an hour to kill. Want to play truth or dare?" Natasha asked with a little smirk.
Steve lightly chuckled.
"Why don't we just get to know each other a little better?" he suggested. "We don't really know each other that well. This could be like a private team bonding."
"Steve, are you suggesting something?" Natasha asked in a playful tone as she raised a brow at him.
The soldier right away turned red.
"N-no. No. I don't mean that." he stammered nervously.
"You don't like me?" Natasha teased and smiled more at his nervousness.
"No...I mean, I do...I do like you Natasha..."
"Good enough for me." Natasha cut in as she leaned close, wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips against his.
Steve's breath hitched inside him and he froze all over. It took a few seconds for his mind to realize what was going on and react.
He slowly wrapped his arms around her and returned the kiss.
