Peter
The fact that he spent the next half hour in a cold shower, didn't help his mind from not playing the situation over and over. The problem between his legs may have gone away, but now, nothing like having that image burned into your brain. Peter could still feel Felicia's breath, and her touch. He turned off the cold water and climbed out of the shower. Peter took a deep breath and grabbed the towel and dried himself off. He raked the towel through his hair. His heart still felt like it might explode.
He wrapped the towel around his waist and walked out of the bathroom. He walked toward his bedroom. He closed his eyes and exhaled, his breath was long and tired. He pushed his door open and it swung wide. He walked in and grabbed the door and closed it. He turned and Felicia was standing there at his window "So dinner?" she said calmly
Peter was startled and jumped back and hit the wall. He hit the floor and Felicia looked down at him "You ok?" she asked like what just happened hadn't. Peter quickly stood and he held the towel together "What are you doing here?" he said in a hushed voice "I told you to leave"
Felicia nodded "I know, but your Aunt May didn't"
"So are you going to leave?"
Felicia sighed "Yes, not keep you head on Spider" she spoke with a hint of annoyance.
"Oh I'm sorry if I am annoying you, but you kind of came onto me"
Felicia couldn't believe he was still all over the place. "Hey, you came onto me first" she pointed out.
Peter stopped and frowned "Yeah it was to hide my spider man suit and the fact that you were basically naked" Peter almost yelled at her as he kept it at a low tone.
Felicia sighed "I was just playing"
"Yeah I know, but can you play with someone else?" Peter asked harshly
Felicia looked at him and shook her head "Ok, fine. I'll go play with someone else" she mocked him harshly.
Peter sighed "Felicia…I'm sorry…I didn't mean…" he sighed in frustration
Felicia looked at him closely "You didn't mean what?"
Peter struggled to find the words "I meant can you play a little less right now"
Felicia took a breath "Wait, you mean since I'm in your house?"
"Yes"
"So when were not in the house?" she asked slyly
Peter sighed "I can't really stop you there"
"Good point" Felicia said
Peter sighed and dropped the towel, she'd already seen it and met his Aunt, she the most unorthodox relationship he had ever been in, and she wasn't even a friend. Felicia stared at him as he walked to his closet and grabbed fresh clothes. She moved her eyes down his body and how he wasn't incredibly muscular, but he was in fantastic shape. His ass was nice, and she didn't really want to think about his penis, she already knew what she wanted to do to him. She still couldn't believe she tried to do what she did, but she liked it though, from what little time she had with him, she liked it. She looked away from him as he turned around, he almost caught her staring. She walked over to his computer desk "So, what do you want to tell you Aunt?"
"What, that I have an acquaintance that I was basically making out in my bed with?"
"We could tell her that"
"She's probably going to see it as you being my girlfriend"
Felicia smirked at the word and she frowned slightly as to why she was liking the word. What was she doing, like he would like to do that.
Peter buttoned his jeans and walked toward the door "I think the situation will explain itself"
Felicia stood at the door with him "You sure?"
Peter looked at her and his eyes shifted slightly "Not really"
Felicia put her hand on his shoulder and Peter shivered slightly as he remembered it. Felicia pushed him into the wall. He kept his eyes on her. Peter stared at her pink lips and her eyes. He took a silent breath and her hand moved across his chest and he felt a little lightheaded. "You know what I think?" Felicia asked, what the hell am I doing?
Peter shook his head slightly "What do you think?" he asked, trying not to sound flustered, which he was. Felicia smirked "I think you liked me on my knees"
Peter went to speak, but she put her finger on his lips and continued "I think you liked me down there, the fact that I was able to do anything. You wanted me to keep going, I know you did"
Peter chuckled nervously and swallowed "Felicia…" he began to say as she stopped him again. She leaned in close and whispered into his ear "and I think you want me to do it again"
He swallowed and his ears were on fire. Peter put his hand on her arm, he could feel her under the sweater. He could see where her breasts were, and he looked at her. Her hand moved to his chest and felt his heart hammering against it. She smirked "You don't think this could work?" she asked.
Peter breathed "it'll probably crash and burn"
Felicia looked at him as his hand moved to her face and lightly brushed her cheek with his thumb. "So what do we tell her?"
Peter sighed and leaned in quickly and kissed her. Felicia was taken a little off guard, but she wasn't going to complain, she was longing to feel his lips again. Her lips were soft and he wrapped his arms around her and he held her close. Felicia could feel her heart skipping beats, she moved her hands around his arms and placed them on his shoulders, they weren't broad, but they were strong. The feeling was exhilarating, Peter pushed her forward and they fell onto his bed. Felicia could feel him on her, and she moved her legs and he was between them. Her feet were laying against his hips and she moaned slightly as he kissed her and his hand moved down and lightly grabbed her breast.
Peter exhaled as he kissed her deeply, he had never done this before, but he seemed to be doing a good job, since Felicia was moaning. She felt him against her, his groin was against hers and she could feel him pressing against her jeans. Peter felt a quenching feeling as he pressed himself against her. He kissed her neck, Felicia put her hand on the back of his head and lightly pulled on his hair. She moaned as his lips tickled her neck. Peter moaned as she pulled him closer and it made his member press against her harder. He sighed as she kissed him neck. He didn't know how much longer he could take being restrained from him jeans. Felicia almost read his mind when she undid his pants. He felt the pressure leave, but a new feeling was discovered, he could still feel pressure, but he needed to put it somewhere. In the position they were in he wanted to fuck her.
Felicia felt his hand moved down to her waist and he felt her soft skin, he moaned as he pushed her sweater up. Felicia pushed Peter up and little and she pulled her sweater off, and she was unveiled to him. Peter looked down at her as her breasts were there for him to see. He placed his hands on them and lightly began to massage them. He didn't want to squeeze them hard, he didn't want them to break. He lightly played with them as he looked at Felicia, he could tell that's he was enjoying it. He leaned down and kissed her. Felicia moaned into his mouth as his shirt tickled her nipples as he leaned toward her. Peter leaned away and he felt her hands at his hips. He pulled his shirt off and tossed it away. He went back down and he could feel her smooth skin pressing against his. Her breasts cushioning him as he kissed her harder. His pants were unbuttoned, but he wasn't able to be seen by her. She let her legs moved away from him and he got off the bed and pulled them down. His member was able to be seen behind hi boxers and how he bulged outward. Felicia quickly kicked off her jeans. Her panties still on though. Peter got back on her and kissed her wildly. Felicia dug her nails into his back as he placed his lips on her neck. He groaned from the pain and he liked it. He kissed her collar bone and moved down. He placed his mouth over her nipple and he sucked slightly. Felicia put her head back and she felt his lips around her breast and how she began to suck harder on her.
Peter wanted to keep sucking on her breasts till he was dead, but he knew he needed to move on. He kissed her lips and he felt her tongue enter his mouth. He felt her hands move down his back and she grabbed his ass. Peter leaned away and his member was pressing against her. Felicia sighed as she could feel him pressing against her. She was already dripping wet when he put his hand on her. He began to move his fingers over her clitoris. She smiled as he hit her just right "You do know here it is"
Peter chuckled "I know where other things are as well"
Felicia looked at him "Like what?"
Peter pressed his hand hard against her opened and he used the fabric of her panties to make her shiver. She moaned and she liked the foreplay, but she wanted him. She looked at him "I want you" she said softly
Peter moved his boxers and he sprung free of them and he smacked onto her stomach. She smiled and moaned as her sharp breaths made her heart work a little harder. Peter pulled her panties off and he maneuvered it off her legs and he could see her. She shivered from the air touching her. Peter looked at her "This wasn't in the contract"
Felicia laughed "We can add it to the extension"
Peter chuckled and he licked his lips as e moved himself to her vagina. He lightly rubbed the tip against her. Felicia groaned softly as she wanted him "Put it in" she breathed
Peter looked at her and he found her and he began to put it in when the door opened.
Aunt May had done the unthinkable twice in one day. First time she saw them clothed, not they were naked and Peter's butt was there for everyone to see and Felicia's breasts were free and open. Peter looked back at her and Felicia covered her breasts, she wasn't one for being modest, but she felt like it when Aunt May saw them. "Hi Aunt May" Peter said
Aunt May shook her head "I am so sorry" she slammed the door shut, it opened again and they were still in the same position as before "I…come downstairs" she said flustered and closed the door again.
Peter looked back at Felicia and she had one arm covering her breast and another on her mouth as she started to laugh. Peter closed his eyes and chuckled "Well I don't think I can shock her anymore today"
"You could" Felicia said
"Yeah with the suit"
"No"
Peter frowned "What?"
Felicia could still feel him about to enter her and she was longing to feel him more than just touching his body. Peter looked down and he sighed "You're wrong"
"Well you didn't go away, you naughty boy"
Peter looked at her and he took a deep breath and entered her. Felicia gasped as he did, Peter exhaled sharply as he felt her soft tissue around him, and she was warm and wet. He took a deep breath and Felicia looked at her as she felt him. "You ok in there Spider?"
Peter looked at her and thrusted into her. She was caught off guard and moaned loudly, she shuttered as she felt him go all the way his length shocked her a bit. Peter pumped into her again and she moaned loudly again. "You shocked her again" Felicia said smirking.
Peter began to thrust harder and Felicia put her head back and moaned loudly. Peter groaned as he felt her pulling him in deeper. He kissed her and she moaned into his mouth "Your good at this" she said
"Would it shock you if I said I was a virgin?"
"Was? You're not anymore" she stated as she placed her hands on his ass and pulled him deeper. Peter moaned as he kept pumping himself into her, Felicia moaned loudly. Peter exhaled. Felicia gasped as she felt him get harder. Peter could feel her skin and she was burning, his heart was racing and he could feel the tickling feeling slowly building within him. Peter thrusted harder and faster. Felicia moaned loudly and she felt something, then she came. Her eyes widened, believe it or not she had, had sex before, but none of them were good enough to have her cum.
Peter closed his eyes and he was about to explode, Felicia could feel him getting harder and she knew what he was going to do, a part of her wanted him to finish inside her, but the fact that she wasn't on birth control and that he wasn't wearing a condom kind of kept her from wanting it to happen. Peter felt the tenses as the warmth traveled up from the base of his cock and it flowed to the tip, he quickly grabbed himself and pulled out of her. He felt the pressure and he exploded. Semen flew out and landed over her stomach and breasts. Felicia felt the warm liquid and she sighed as put her head back as she was a little tired now.
Peter grabbed his old shirt that he had left on the side of his bed and cleaned her up. Felicia never had that happen either. She was used to the moment of pleasure, then she was out the door, not how he acted. Peter moved and as he tossed his shirt to the floor and he laid next to her on his back. He sighed and stared at the ceiling "Was this a onetime thing?" he asked
Felicia sighed and smiled "Well it could be, but I don't want it to"
Peter nodded "So what, are we officially a thing?"
Felicia got close and gave him a kiss "Like you said it will probably crash and burn"
Peter sighed and he pulled her close "I'll take the risk"
Felicia moved closer to him and pressed her naked body against his "What do you want me to be?"
"Not a criminal, and my girlfriend" he said
Felicia sighed as she heard him, she frowned "I'm not going to stop"
"And I won't stop trying to catch you"
"So a bit of unforbidden love huh, I can do that"
Peter closed his eyes "To Aunt May, you my girlfriend"
"Ok, well, I don't know about you, but I think we should talk to your Aunt" Felicia said clenching her jaw.
Peter sighed "Yeah"
She laughed slightly and she didn't check it with her own mind before she did it, but she kissed him lightly on the lips. Peter sighed as he accepted it and the one thought came to his head. Now he was a crime fighter and he had sex with a criminal. How could he justify himself to Fury? He was in it now, and for once, he didn't want to get out of it.
Tony
It was mid-day when Tony came back to the Tower. He slowed and landed on the small single pad and he stood. He could see Pepper, Happy, and Rhodey standing inside. The sides of the floor opened and began to pull his suit off. Tony walked toward the entrance. Pepper stood looking rather upset, but Tony didn't care at the moment. He had a chance to find Bruce, why would he not take that?
Rhodey met him at the entrance "Going for a normal fly huh?"
"As always, Pepper, sorry for up and vanishing"
Pepper stood still and she had her arms crossed and she was staring at her him, her eyes gave him the indication that he wasn't off the hook. Rhodey leaned in 'I would not want to be you right now"
Tony looked at him "Ok, what is you need buddy?"
Rhodey glanced at Pepper and she walked away. He sighed and looked at his friend "We need to talk about the situation"
Tony bit his lip slightly "In the lab"
Tony and Rhodey walked away from Pepper and Happy and climbed the stairs to the lab door. Tony opened it and walked in, he slid his hand across the metal table to his right "FRIDAY bring up the new project"
"Project code named: Iron Spider online" she said
Rhodey saw a hologram appear in the middle of the room, it was a suit for Parker, Tony stood in front of it and he looked at it. He began to mess with it and tweak little things. Rhodey closed the door and walked forward "Tony, you know about the recent development"
"About there being another Spangled boy? Yeah"
Rhodey slightly smirked "Yeah, there is a possibility that he may still be around"
Tony looked back at him "Well good, I guess."
"No, not good" Rhodey said taking a step forward "It was a secret project that just so happens to be linked to Niko and Yelena"
Tony sighed "Those two huh, well what? Are they gathering the third Musketeer?"
"No, Niko for all we know is dead, and Yelena is on the run. This other Captain America is a new player, nothing is really known about him"
"Well if he is anything like the one we have, then I may need to retire"
Rhodey sighed "No joking, not now Tony"
Tony exhaled and turned fully around, giving him full attention "So, what?"
"Well with all these new players coming about it would be nice to know if this guy is a friend"
Tony scoffed "We don't have that kind of luck"
"But he was made by ONI"
Tony paused "ONI?"
"Yeah, and it seems something happened, and there are no files on this other Captain America"
Tony walked over to the desk that was covered in papers "Wait, you tried to access files?"
"Yeah"
"Isn't that, illegal?"
Rhodey sighed "I had some friends in the military look into it for me, they came up with nothing"
"Does Rogers know about this?"
"No, actually he wanted us to stay away from it"
Tony nodded "As usual, but he's right. I may not be the one with the Government about everything but if it was supposed to be a secret, then maybe it should stay that way"
Rhodey frowned "What happened to the Tony Stark that hacked into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files?"
Tony shrugged "I've gotten a little more patient maybe"
Rhodey sighed "Anyway, what if Steve is wrong about this and this blows up in our face?"
"Then we deal with it, it's not like we can really do anything about it. We may be independent, but that doesn't mean we can go through Government files without permission"
Rhodey sighed "The line gets blurry when you start dealing with things that are suspicious"
Tony crossed his arms "Suspicious how?"
"There are files on him, but there aren't. It's like someone erased him"
"Why would they do that, if it failed then it would be nice not to use that certain way again wouldn't it?"
"That's the point, it's looking more like a cover up"
"Ok" Tony walked forward "So if we go against Cap's orders and the Government firewall and we find out that is was a failure, and we get caught, what would that be worth?"
Rhodey sighed "Not much"
"Yeah, and the fact that I would very much like to be on the side with the government, I'm done doing things all by myself, I made a killer robot having no restrictions or someone looking over my shoulder. I would like to not get that situation again"
Rhodey nodded "Tony I get it, Ultron changed a few things for you, but come on. The Government would be interested in one of their Intelligence agencies covering something up"
"Unless they are the ones covering it up"
Rhodey nodded "I guess we just wait it out then, and let it blow up in our faces"
"For all we know, the other Cap died"
Rhodey shook his head "I'm not so sure"
Tony sighed in annoyance "Rhodes, just leave this one alone"
Rhodey nodded "Right, just another Government cover up like what happened with Banner"
Tony glared at him "We know what happened to Bruce, we have files, and documentation. We have nothing on this Captain America, other than a few audio files. That is not enough!" Tony snapped
Rhodey stepped back and nodded "Ok Tony, but when this goes up in flames, your going to wish that we did something"
"There's nothing to do Rhodey, we cannot just go into Government files, I did S.H.I.E.L.D.'s because I was a reckless asshole, and I still am. I am trying to be more careful, you want to look into this go ahead, but leave me out of it"
Rhodey nodded and left the lab and the door slammed shut. Tony flared his nostrils and smacked the desk and papers flew everywhere. He gritted his teeth. "Mr. Stark?" FRIDAY asked
"Run some more tests with the pack on the suit, let me know what needs adjusting"
"Yes sir"
Tony took a seat on the stool and he stared down at the floor. He took a deep breath, he wasn't going to put everyone's lives at stake because he thought that they should look into it.
Rhodey walked down the stairs and he walked past Pepper and Happy "Have a good Christmas guys"
"You to" Happy said
Rhodey walked into the elevator and he watched the doors closed, he was going to keep digging. There has to be a reason as to why they would cover something like that up.
Wanda
Since the facility was relatively empty, Wanda and Vision were mostly alone as they walked around the facility. Wanda ran her hand over the smooth wall, Vision watched her closely as she closed her eyes and slightly seemed to fade away. He saw her eyes open, she looked at him. His mechanical but real eyes shifted the other way. Wanda smirked "You distracted?"
"I technically can't get distracted"
She shook her head "Yes you can"
Vision shrugged "Never really tested it"
Wanda nodded and she slightly swayed her hips as she walked, as if she could almost start to dance. Vision watched her carefully as they walked down the hallway. He smirked and he didn't know if she was trying to distract him, or that she was just being her. He glanced back and he saw three S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel staring at them. Vision scanned their faces and how their posture was. They were not looking at them kindly. He slightly turned and faced them. He kept walking backwards, but he let them see that he saw them. They quickly walked away, Vision turned back around and he ducked an arm that was reached out. He came back up and Wanda smiled at him "Ok, maybe you can't get distracted"
Vision smirked "Not was not a good test"
Wanda shrugged "Well, it was a trial run"
Vision chuckled, this time not sounding like a broken record player. Wanda smirked "Got a chuckle out of you"
Vison nodded "Well, I thought it was funny" he stopped and looked down the hallway. Wanda stopped after a few steps and looked at him "You seem deep in thought"
He looked at her "Kind of"
"Well kind of isn't an answer"
He smirked "No it isn't" he took a breath, which he surely didn't need "I am just conflicted"
Wanda frowned slightly "About what?"
"Well it's about the recent news of the other Captain America"
Wanda nodded and slightly skipped a step "What about him?"
"Just, that Captain Rogers doesn't want us looking into it"
"Well I don't make the big decisions"
"Shouldn't we though?"
Wanda sighed "You do know that there is a form of ranking system here"
"Captain Rogers doesn't say so, he says that we can all make equal decisions"
"Yeah, but when we're on the ground, who's orders do you listen to?"
"Wouldn't know, haven't been in enough with him"
Wanda nodded "Trust me, when it happens, you'll do what he tells you to do in that moment. Don't know why, you just do"
Vision nodded "Maybe it's his authority, or just how he seems"
"That's probably it"
They both stopped at a window and the sun was still up, but it was slowly starting to sink. It was around five. Wanda sighed "I miss it"
Vision glanced at her as they both stared out of the window "Miss what?"
"Sokovia"
"Well that's rational, it was your home"
Wanda shook her head "Not because it was home. More like its where all my memories of Pietro are"
That made him quiet for a few moments "I'm sorry that he isn't here"
"Like I said before, it's ok."
"Why do I get the feeling that it isn't?"
Wanda looked at him, she shrugged slightly and she felt her eyes become filled with tears. She felt her lips trembling, she held back tears "Just hard to find anything meaningful without him"
Vision nodded "They saw twins are connected in some way, at least that's what I've read"
"Maybe" Wanda said nodding and a tear fell off her cheek. Vision caught it in the air and he looked at the little droplet of water on his hand. Wanda looked at him, he sighed "I do wish I could have talked to him more, he seemed interesting"
Wanda smiled "He was interesting"
Vision looked at Wanda as she stared out of the window and he glanced at her hands and how they were shaking slightly. He sighed and continued to stare out of the window.
Peter
Peter got a shirt thrown into his face and he pulled it off his head. Felicia was dressed, she was just putting her sweater on. He put his shirt on and he buttoned his jeans. He looked at the door "Well after you"
Felicia smirked "Thanks" she placed her glasses on her face. Peter grabbed his and put them on. He followed her out of his room. They came to the stairs and they both slowly walked down them. Peter was nervous, for all he knew Aunt May was going to be furious. They came to the hallway and the kitchen was just a few steps away. Peter swallowed and walked in first.
Aunt May was sitting at the table and she had a mug of coffee. She looked up at him and she saw Felicia enter behind him. She looked at both of them "Just friends huh?" she asked
Peter chuckled nervously "Sorry for lying"
Aunt May chuckled "Well maybe next time Peter parker, lock the door" she raised her eyebrows.
Peter chuckled "Ok, I'll remember that"
"Just tell me you guys are being careful?" she looked at Felicia
"We are" Felicia said, it felt like a lie, but it wasn't.
Aunt May nodded "Well it was very nice to meet you Felicia, my nephew's girlfriend"
Felicia smirked shyly "Yeah, sorry for saying that we were just friends, it's kind of new"
"New?" Aunt May asked surprised "How long have you known each other?"
"A while" Peter said taking a seat at the table. Felicia saw that as a good signal to walk in more. She sat down next to him. Aunt May sighed "As long as you guys are being careful, but next time, lock the door"
Peter and Felicia nodded "Got it" Peter spoke
Aunt May smirked and stood up, she walked over to the counter and poured two more mugs of coffee. She brought them back over. She placed them in front of them "Well Felicia, I hope you like my bowtie pasta"
"Just bowtie noodles?" Felicia asked confused
Peter tapped her shoulder "It has pork, red peppers, olives, spinach leaves, and a sauce that I don't really know"
Felicia nodded "Sounds good"
"It is"
"Ok then"
Aunt May opened the large pot and got them two bowls full and gave them to them. Felicia frowned "I could have gotten it myself"
Peter chuckled "It's what she does, she likes it"
Aunt May chuckled "It's more of a habit"
Felicia nodded and she looked at the pasta, it looked really good, and smelled divine. Peter glanced at her. He leaned in closely and whispered "So, you ok with this?"
"It actually makes me feel normal, yeah I like it" Felicia said honestly, and she took a bite of the pasta.
Sam
The Avenger Facility may be quite empty at the moment, but the Helicarrier was as busy as ever. Sam, Agent Allen, Sharon, and Fury were sitting in the conference room. The room was quite, expect for the squeaking of the chair that Allen was lightly turning back and forth. Sam hadn't spent much time on the Helicarrier, or with Fury at all. Sharon was sitting patently and Fury was staring at a file. He glanced up at them "Well" he began to say and tossed the file down "I see that you are the only one really wanting to do anything over the holiday"
Sam almost chuckled, he just wanted to get back to work. Allen shrugged "I live alone, kind of boring"
Fury nodded "Well, there's always something to do"
Sharon lightly tapped her hand on the table "Any news on the Captain America?"
Fury stood up slowly, and processed what she was asking. "No, I have instructed the others not to dig into it"
Sam agreed that it was probably not a good idea, not to mention illegal. Allen frowned "But the topic is quite interesting, don't you think?"
"The fact that another Captain America was created is big, but I never heard about it, and neither has the U.S. Government"
"But, wouldn't the Government want to know about it?" Sharon asked
Fury shrugged "Unless they don't want to know"
"Like the whole Area 51 thing, they know, they just don't want to talk about it?"
Fury sighed "That's one way of putting it"
Sam frowned "Even if they did know, if there was a problem, they would take care of it right?"
"Maybe" Allen scoffed
Sam looked at him, Allen noticed "Hey sorry, but sometimes things like this just happen, and people know, but they don't do anything" he spoke glancing at Fury
Fury had to agree, there were plenty of things that they knew about but either didn't have enough evidence to pursue it, or didn't see it as a problem"
"Who is the head of ONI?" Sharon asked
"The last one that I actually knew personally" Fury said "Was James Westbrook"
"What happened to him?" Sam asked
Fury was quiet for a moment "Dead, he was killed in an explosion in one of their facilities, tragic accident"
"Who runs it now?" Sharon asked
Fury swallowed and walked back to his seat "A man named Justin Brunner"
"And what is he like?" Allen asked
Fury took a seat and leaned back in the chair "A joke, compared to Westbrook at least. Jim was not the nicest man, but he cared about the country, I guess that's why he became the head of ONI. He knew about things that surely would give people nightmares"
"What kind of things?" Sharon asked
"Things that I know about, and it's classified"
Sharon nodded, she had gotten used to that word a long time ago. She frowned slightly she remember seeing Rhodey doing something a few days ago. "Is Rhodes ok with the fact that we can't dig into this?"
"Colonel Rhodes, has shown his opinion, he wants to dig into this, and he might be as we speak, but that's up to him"
Sam stared at the table and how the room was quiet after that, what would another Captain America be like, how would he had been? Sam looked at Fury "I know that many organizations tried to make another Captain America"
Fury nodded "Everyone wanted one yes"
"Was there any other experiments that have shown any promise?"
Fury nodded "There was one, it was called Power Man"
"Did they ever do it?"
"Yeah, on a man, his name was Carl Lucas"
"Was?" Allen asked
"On record, he died"
"From the experiment?" Sam asked
Fury nodded "Something went wrong and it went past what it was supposed to"
Allen nodded "Seems a lot of people have died just trying to make another Captain America"
"Yes, a lot have died" Fury said
"Well to move on from this depressing topic" Allen stated "What do you got?"
Fury tilted his head "You three need to keep trying to find Yelena, she is still on top priority, Niko has been dealt with, we have his right hand man locked up, and Zemo is one elusive bastard. I need you focused on Yelena, I'll focus on trying to find Zemo, and Rumlow, who has been off the grid for some time"
"Any updates on Yelena?" Sharon asked, remembering the cabin that exploded.
"We have another set of coordinates, in Belgium this time"
"Well I hope Belgium is beautiful this time of year" Allen said
"Spending Christmas in Belgium, could be worse, it could be Siberia" Sharon added
Fury nodded "You leave in three hours, be ready by then. I appreciate you giving up your holiday for this"
"I live alone" Allen said again
"I just want to get back to work" Sam said
"I like being busy" Sharon said deciding to join in.
Fury chuckled "Get prepped"
They stood and left Fury alone in the conference room, hopefully they would catch a break. After the holiday, then Alexie was going to talk, hopefully.
Steve
Dinner was upon him as he was half way being done with the drawing. Lila had walked away by now, Steve was hard at work as he could smell cookies mixed with Lasagna. He glanced over at the kitchen and everyone was there, Natasha was the closest to him, she was holding Nathaniel while Laura and Clint finished up the cooking. Steve was hallway done with the small stand with the lamp on it. The picture looked like someone had taken it in the Barton living room. The finishing was all he had to do, and that was the shading, touch ups to the faces and other parts, background lines and shading, nothing like shading to keep him busy. The food was done and Steve just finished drawing the lamp shade.
Laura looked over at him "Steve, food, if you're hungry if course" she said smiling
Steve put the pencil down and he took the paper and he stood "I'll wash my hands and be right down"
Steve walked into the hallway and toward the stairs. He walked up them and he stepped the on the squeaky step and he moved on. He walked past all the room and at the end of the hall to the left and entered the guest room. He noticed that it was becoming a nursery, but the bed and nightstand were still there and for the most part it still looked like a bedroom. It didn't have any baby stuff yet. Steve placed the paper on the desk at the far right. He turned toward the bathroom and he entered it. He turned on the sink and washed his hands, they were covered in pencil. He looked at himself in the mirror. He took a deep breath "I'm ok Ma, I'm ok" he said softly
He turned off the water and dried his hands, he left the bathroom and gave the paper one last look before he left it alone. He sighed at his work, he left the guest room and walked back down the hallway towards the stairway. He walked down them and he bent his head slightly when he came to the bottom, his height was the only thing limiting him. He walked into the kitchen, the table was prepared. Nathaniel was in his jumper chair. Laura was busy with him. Lila and Cooper were sitting at the small table off toward the side of the kitchen. Clint saw where his eyes were "Kids table, it's a first this year"
Steve nodded and took a seat next to Natasha, the plate in front of him had a lot more lasagna than the others. Natasha leaned over "I didn't know how much you wanted"
Steve smirked "It's a good start"
Laura rolled her eyes as she gave Nathaniel a spoonful of food. Clint grabbed his piece of bread and began to eat it. Natasha glanced at Steve as he slightly bowed his head, he closed his eyes and said something inaudible. Natasha hadn't touched her food, out of respect. Steve opened his eyes and he began to eat. Natasha followed him. Steve slightly moaned as he took his first bite. Laura looked at him "Like it?"
Steve nodded "Very well done" he took another bite.
Clint chuckled and took a swig of his beer. Steve was halfway done with the plate when Laura decided to speak. "So how's the secret project coming?"
Steve swallowed his bite of food "Good, it's halfway done, I just need to finish everything"
"So what is it a picture of?" Clint asked
Steve smiled "It's a secret, Lila's orders"
Laura nodded "Well I look forward to seeing it tomorrow"
Clint took another bite and swallowed "So Steve, how did you spend you other Christmas's?"
Steve sighed "I spent my first two after the battle of New York, working with S.H.I.E.L.D."
Clint nodded "So two on mission?"
Steve nodded "Its ok, I wasn't alone for one of them" he glanced at Natasha. She closed her eyes and shook her head with a smile "Not the shed in the middle of nowhere"
Steve laughed "We got stuck in a blizzard on a mission, funny enough it was Christmas Eve, so we were both stuck in a shed with only each other for company."
"We were stuck in that shed for three days" Natasha reminded him
"Yeah, but technically we spent Christmas together"
Laura laughed "When was this?"
"First year with being with S.H.I.E.L.D."
Laura nodded, Natasha sighed "We didn't get along"
Laura looked at them shocked as she almost spit her juice out "Really?"
Clint nodded "yeah Nat didn't like Steve that much when they started working together"
"Why was that?" Laura asked
Steve sighed "For one, I had no idea how to do black ops, and also, I was a replacement"
Natasha glanced at him "You were"
Clint laughed and looked at Laura "Fury put them together after the battle of New York, I had stuff going on"
Laura nodded "You mean the year that you spent depressed and angry?" she glared at him
Clint sighed "I had my mind messed with, not a happy camper about it"
Laura chuckled at him "Yeah, and you also broke the tractor that year"
Clint sighed "Yeah, not a great year"
Natasha put her fork down, she was done with her food. Steve took two long gulps of his pop. Clint sighed, and looked at both of them. Natasha and Steve noticed him staring at them. Laura was slightly keeping her eyes on them and she would occasionally look at Clint. "What?" Steve asked
Laura smirked "We have news"
"It's twins?" Steve said quickly, not really knowing what he wanted to get out of that.
Clint's eyes widened "I hope not"
Laura chuckled "No, not that kind of news"
Steve smiled "Sorry, thought it try and be like Stark for a second"
Natasha put her hand on his arm "Please don't"
Steve nodded "Yeah, I don't think I would be good at it"
Clint looked at his two friends "Well it does involve the little one though"
Natasha looked at them closely "What?" she asked slightly smiling, wondering what it was.
Clint took Laura's hand "We wanted you two to be the Godparents to the little one that's on the way"
Steve raised his eyebrows, he was shocked by that. They wanted him to be a Godfather. Natasha swallowed "What?" she asked, not really sure if she heard them correctly.
Clint sighed "We want you guys to be the Godparents"
Steve looked at Natasha, she looked at him. Steve saw something in her eyes that made her look sad, but happy at the same time. Natasha looked at Laura "Really?" she asked
Laura nodded "Yes, you are the only two I would ever trust any of my children around"
"I don't know what to say" Natasha said
Clint smiled "Say yes"
Natasha chuckled "Well of course I would"
Steve smiled and he was happy that Natasha got that news tonight. He grinned broadly. Laura looked at Steve "I'm going to take that as a yes"
"I would be honored" Steve said
Clint smiled "Well since we got that out of the way, now Steve, you going for seconds?"
Steve looked at him "Did you really have to ask?"
Clint laughed as he and Steve both got up and went to get more Lasagna.
After Clint and Steve conquered their appetites for Lasagna, everyone was sitting in the living room. Lila was sitting next to Laura and her head rested on her shoulder. Clint had his arm around Cooper. Nathaniel was already asleep up in his room. Steve and Natasha sat next to each other on the second couch. Steve was having a good time, it was nice to be in that kind of setting for Christmas. Clint laughed as Natasha was talking about the time that her and him were in Morocco on a mission. "And not to mention how he tripped" Clint added
"Well the target was a bit of a klutz" Natasha agreed
Clint held back a laugh and snickered "He literally shot one of his own men!"
Steve smirked "Really?"
Natasha nodded "Well he tripped and while doing so he shot one of his own men"
Clint laughed again "It was actually quite sad to watch, but funny in retrospect."
Laura shook her head at him with a small smile on her face. Steve watched as Natasha and Clint kept telling stories. Cooper was passed out on Clint's shoulder, and Lila had her head in Laura's lap and she was out as well. Natasha glanced over at Steve as they continued to laugh.
He was just staring at them contently, she heard Clint tell another one and she laughed again. Throughout the stories, she kept her eyes on him, Steve seemed to be listening, but not entirely being part of it. She really couldn't blame him, all the stories were before they had met, but she knew he was listening. Clint's laughter died down and he took a deep breath "That was good old times" he said shaking his head.
Laura smirked "Well we need to get these two to bed, or Santa will never come"
Clint nodded "yeah, were talking about Steve and Natasha"
"Of course" Laura said
Steve laughed as Natasha gave Laura a small glare, but it was a playful one. "Well we'll see you two in the morning" Natasha said standing up.
Steve stood and he looked at Clint "See you in the morning"
Clint nodded "Yeah, just need to get the children into their beds and then eat those cookies"
Steve looked at the plate and he could still eat, he could always eat. Clint say him looking at them. "You want the honors?" Clint asked
Steve looked away from them and at Clint "No, you have them"
"Ok, but if you wanted them, it's ok" Clint said, hoping that Steve said yes to having them, he couldn't eat anymore, not even a cookie.
Steve sighed "I'm not breaking tradition am I?"
Clit shook his head "Nah, dig in"
Steve grabbed the plate of cookies and began to eat them. HE was eating them rather fast to. Clint watched him chow down on the cookies "Geez Cap, I would hate to be as hungry as you"
Steve shrugged "It has its benefits"
"Yeah the fact that you put nothing on no matter how much you eat, lucky bastard"
Steve chuckled and he looked at the glass of milk and grabbed it, he drank it down quickly. He placed them onto the small table and he looked at Clint. Clint smirked and slightly chuckled "Well you got to be Santa"
"Well, it was nice" Steve said, he noticed Natasha was leaning against the wall smiling at him the entire time. He looked at Clint "Good night"
Clint nodded and looked at his son who was fast asleep on the couch. Steve left Clint and Laura to deal with the final stages of Christmas Eve night. Steve followed Natasha up the stairs and to the guest room. Steve closed the door behind him and turned and Natasha was at the small desk and she was inspecting the drawing. Natasha looked at all of them, Clint had Cooper by his side and his hand was on his shoulder. Laura was on Clint's other side and she was holding Nathaniel. Lila was between Laura and Natasha, she had a smile on her face. Natasha was next to Steve, she would have wanted it no other way. Steve had his arms around her ad she was smiling as Steve was slightly looking at her. The drawing looked like a photo. She looked at Steve "This is really nice"
Steve walked forward and put his arms around her. His hands came together around her pelvis and he stood behind her. She could feel his chest against her back and his breath tickled her neck slightly. Steve rested his chin on her shoulder softly "I did my best, it's not done yet"
Natasha smiled "Well you better get working on it"
Steve smiled "Yes ma'am"
He let go and grabbed the pencil that was sitting next to the piece of paper. Natasha watched as Steve began drawing again. She sat down on the edge of the bed. She leaned back on the mattress. She watched as Steve began the finishing touches he mentioned earlier. She watched his hand quickly move back and forth as he moved the pencil with precision. "Did you ever have an idea of doing something in art, before you became Captain America?"
Steve didn't look back "I used to be a sketch artist for the precinct near where I lived"
Natasha raised her eyebrows in surprise "Did you ever think about being a full time artist?" she asked
Steve looked back at her "At one time, then World War 2 happened"
Natasha nodded "So if you ever retired, could you be a full time artist?"
"Retire?" Steve asked looking back at her.
Natasha nodded "Yeah, you're not going to be Captain America forever you know"
Steve smirked "I know this, but it's still a while away. If I retired, then yeah, I would be a full time artist"
Natasha nodded and tried to picture her and Steve living somewhere, with a normal life and Steve was an artist and they lived somewhere nice. The room was only filled with the sound of a pencil touching paper for the next hour. Natasha was still wide awake, she was lying on the bed still. Her head was in the pillow. Steve finished the drawing and he touched up the background and little and he put the pencil down, he had to sharpen it four times. Natasha heard the pencil sit on the desk. She sat up and Steve was looking at the picture, the little lamp light where he was sitting was the only light in the room. The walls were dim and shadows flowed over the room and the bed was mostly dark. Natasha got off the bed and walked over. She looked at the picture and she gasped at how real it looked.
He had gotten every little thing right, from the lines in Clint's face to the strands of her hair, even the patterns on the wood in the background. She smiled, Steve stared at his hard work "There's a picture frame next to the door, can you get it?" He asked
Natasha grabbed the frame and placed it into front of Steve. He unhooked the back and he placed the picture in and then hooked the back, back into its place. He turned the frame around and there was the drawing. It looked like a picture out of a digital camera, maybe even better. Natasha kissed Steve on the cheek "They'll love it, Lila had a good idea"
Steve nodded and smiled at it "Maybe I could do one of the Avengers" Steve said
Natasha tilted her head in response "You defiantly could, but you should be paid for this kind of work"
Steve shrugged "It's not about the money for me, it's just peaceful, and drawing is my get away"
Natasha put her arms around him and rested her chin on his head. She sighed "Well I think it's time that we went to bed, it's…" She looked at her watch on her wrist "Almost three"
Steve nodded, he put the frame down and he got out of the chair. Steve followed Natasha to the bed, it was dark as he turned off the lamp. Steve pulled his shirt off and he let his jeans fall away. He was in his boxers as he climbed into the bed. Natasha had joined him in the idea, she was basically naked when she got into the bed. Steve felt her side of the bed lightly shift as she moved. He looked over at her, he saw her outline as his eyes began to adjust to the darkness. Natasha didn't like the distance between them, and Steve must have thought the same thing when he moved at the same time she did. They met in the middle of the bed. Steve put his arms around her and held her close, she snuggled against him. Their skin touching and she placed her hand on his chest, she could feel his heart beating against it. Steve smiled as he felt her head rest on his shoulder. Her hair was against his cheek, and he could smell her, and he felt nothing but bliss. Natasha closed her eyes. They were both quite when she spoke "Steve?"
"Yeah Nat"
"I love you" she said softly
She felt his arms moved around her and pull her in closer, his warmth made her feel safe and calm. She smiled at his movement "I love you to" he said and he kissed her head softly and he rested his head against hers. Natasha focused on his breathing and how his heart felt beating against her hand, she began counting the beats and she slowly drifted into sleep. Steve was awake for a little longer and he looked up at the ceiling, but to him it didn't feel like it was one. The darkness made it seem like it could be anything. He spoke softly "I miss you guys, Merry Christmas" he closed his eyes and he focused on Natasha and her breathing and how she rose and fell away. He took a deep breath and he let everything go, all thoughts and worries, gone and he fell asleep.
