3 : WHAT MAKE YOU BEAUTIFUL
Nightmare kept haunting Steve. He had to get up to stop it. It's 4 am and he could not go back to sleep anymore so he headed down to gym. Punching bags always helped him readjust his mind as well as distracting him from nightmares.
As he sent the fifth bag flew across the room, he stopped his exercise and hit the shower.
He went up to the kitchen only to find the nicest smell of food. He heard someone humming a song happily.
And he found the source of the beautiful voice. The red head moving around the kitchen gracefully.
"Morning, Tasha" Steve said. "Is there anything I can help?"
"No, you just sit and I will cook for you"
Steve read the newspaper but had a hard time try to focus on the article. The beautiful humming of Natasha kept distracting him. It liked a whisper at his ears, like a finger gently traced down his skin. Steve looked up and watched her moving around the kitchen.
He always loved to watch the spy moving around like she was dancing, looking at her short curly red hair flipped when she move, the scent of her was like a sunshine and freshly cut flower.
He just can't take his eyes out of her right now.
"Am I distracting you?" she asked.
Yes, you are so distracting, Natasha Romanoff. Steve thought and lightly blushed.
Steve snapped out of his thought. "No no I just waiting to see that you gonna drop something or not"
He liked her fiery red hair and the way it flow with the wind. He thought back to the moment they first met. He stepped out of the quinjet to the helicarrier with Coulson. Everyone was hustling around and then he saw her, her curly red hair and a mysterious smile. She was standing out of the crowd, like she was the only one standing there.
"Steve"
"Yes"
"Breakfast's ready" She said and put a plate in front of him.
But then again, whenever he made an eye contact with her, he got hypnotize by the beautiful green orbs and it always made him said stupid things before he could stop himself.
"You know what, Natasha. You are one of the most beautiful women I ever seen but it's really odd that you didn't have any boyfriend yet"
"Because I'm always working, remember?" She replied, "Moreover, I'm not the type of girl that men like."
"Wow! That came from beautiful woman like you, it not quite convincing don't you think?"
Natasha turned to Steve with a mischievous smile on her.
"You think that I'm beautiful, Captain?"
"Yeah…you're more beautiful than many women these day. They're too skinny and…umm…" Steve stumbled to find a good answer and tried real hard to avoid making eye contact with emerald orbs that keep staring at him. "You're unique and different from the others. Men nearly broke their neck just to turn around and look at you."
"Captain Rogers, If I didn't' know you well enough, I might say that you try to hit on me"
Steve's face turned vermilion red and looked down at the table. Her stare can pieced into his soul and he afraid that he might say something stupid again.
"Did I ever mention that you're absolutely adorable when you blush?" She said playfully before change the tone back to normal "To reward you for being the only on in this tower that talk nicely to me, today I'll take you out "
"You mean…" Steve stuttered and panicked, trying to speak the rest of the sentence. "Like on a date?"
"No no no! Just hang out together. I will take you shopping and buy some new, up-to-date clothes"
Steve frowned "What's wrong with my clothes?"
"Nothing's wrong but if you want Tony to keep making fun of you, be my guest"
Right then the great Captain America knew he fell for her mind trick again. He should have known better that she always got what she want, always have and always be. Her marks will give her everything.
And Steve Rogers was no exception.
"Fine"
"I give you a permission to keep some that you really like and the rest of them go to charity"
All Steve could do was nodded
She smiled "Good boy"
Bruce came down from the stairs but he missed seeing the Black Widow cornered the Captain. The genius doctor walked straight to his teapot.
"Good morning, my friend!" Thor boomed.
Thunder god ran to the toaster and get a box of pop tart out. If there any Midgardian electronics device that he mastered, it going to be the toaster.
Tony and Clint talked loudly as they entered the kitchen. They argued about the last night game. Tony went to the coffee machine and Clint sat down next to Steve.
"Cap, I have tickets to baseball game, wanna join us?" Tony asked.
"No, thank you. I actually gonna explore the city today"
"So it just you and me, Birdbrain"
Steve knew that he has to avoid Tony's annoying question so he just lie with the straightest face he could. Natasha even gave him a slight smile.
Natasha could't help but noticed that every girl that walked pass Steve have to turn back and look at him one more time. Some of them openly stared and almost drooled over Captain America.
"What?" He asked curiously
"Nothing" She replied, "You didn't notice your influence around the girl, do you?"
Steve opened the door to the famous designer boutique. The sell person eagerly greeted them.
"Miss Rushman"
Steve assumed that she came here under her alias, Natalie Rushman, Tony Stark's personal assistant.
"Nice to see you again, Joanna"
"And this handsome is your boyfriend, isn't he?"
"Unfortunately not, he is Mr. Stark's close friend" She replied. "Captain Rogers"
Steve shook hand with her but the way Joanna stared at him made Steve felt a little uncomfortable.
"He needed an entire new wardrobe. Find something nice for him"
"I hope that I can fit in these clothes" Steve joked.
"Captain Rogers with a figure like that, I bet you will look absolutely gorgeous in everything" Joanna said.
Joanna led them to the private area for trying clothes. Natasha sat on the sofa and read the magazine while waiting for the stylist to find clothes for Steve.
"Please get a tailor to measure his suit and tuxedo" The spy said to one of the staff.
"Of course, miss Rushman"
Natasha enjoyed a glass of champagne while Steve trying his new clothes behind the velvet curtain.
"Natasha, is it boring waiting for me all day?"
"Not at all, it is fun dressing you up and I get to enjoy beautiful things" She replied. "We not even close to finish yet. We still need to find every style of clothes for you"
"Stark will murder us when he see the bills"
"No, he won't. If he knew these is for you"
The trailer stepped away and revealed Steve wearing his tuxedo. Natasha stood up and looked satisfy with what she saw.
"Steve waits until you got to a gala. Tony gonna be so jealous that every women will throw themselves on you"
"I would count that as a compliment" He murmured before turn to the full size mirror.
"Joanna, please send everything to Stark Tower."
"Yes, Miss Rushman"
Natasha took Steve to other shops. He didn't even have to try. He looked handsome in everything. The perfect figure and his board shoulders make it perfect fit for every clothes.
By the time they came back to the tower, It almost five o'clock in the evening. They heard someone yelling from the moment the elevator's door opened.
"Natashalie Rushmanoff! What the hell is this? I just gave you a credit card for only two weeks!"
Tony stomped toward them and showed the list of everything she brought today, a very long list of designer clothes.
"You should be thanking me for getting rid of Steve's grandpa clothes"
"Oh in that case I'm fine with that and thank you for getting rid of a washcloth he always wear from my tower."
"I like it!" Steve defended.
"But for god sake! Why do you have to buy that much expensive t-shirt" Tony asked, shook his head with disapproval and walked away "D&G t-shirt, really?"
"The one that you wore is more expensive!"
Two days after Natasha banished Steve's old clothed from his closet. He had a problem with selecting his cloth every morning so he just picked t-shirt and jeans.
It's Sunday and his teammates will not get up until noon. His planned for today was to take a long walk around the city and enjoyed the peaceful park. He chose to go to Central Park first. Steve sat down on the opposite side of the Belvedere Castle and took out his sketchbook.
He loved sketching and it made him feel calm.
Steve walked around the Time Square in the evening before he met something unexpected.
"IT'S CAPTAIN AMERICA!" A girl boomed and followed by screaming voices and Steve just found the second terrifying thing of his life.
A hoard of fan girl ran in his direction. They came from everywhere. Steve sprinted with high speed and disappeared in to the mall but the girls followed closely. He ended up locking himself inside men restroom.
"Captain come out here!" A shout from outside made Steve stepped back to another end of the restroom.
Steve paced himself back and forth, tried to think a way out of this mess. He found none. He trapped, cannot escaped.
The only way out was his friends and the only one he could count on was Natasha.
Natasha and other teammate were sitting in the living room. Tony and Clint was playing video game while Thor and Bruce cheered them. Natasha was reading Hunger Games on the sofa near window.
Until her phone rang.
"Hello"
"Tasha! Help! I'm stuck in the toilet" Panic voice of Steve coming from the others end.
"Why in the world that you stuck in the toilet, captain?"
Everybody else turned and looked at her. Natasha put Steve on speaker. Clint and Tony hurried to Natasha side.
"Everybody's here, cap. What can we do for ya?" Hawkeye asked.
"Help me! Take care of the girls that chase after me. They gather in front of the toilet and I can't get out!"
Everyone laughed especially Tony that laughed so hard he fell from the sofa.
"Yeah have fun, capsicle. You're their favorite." Tony said and tried so hard not to laugh.
"It's not funny at all, Stark. I'm stuck here for three hours!"
"We will go" Natasha said.
"Please hurry"
Natasha hang up and turn to her teammates.
"Let's go! Our friend needs us"
"Gotta say no, little red" Tony said "I rather enjoy the show"
Bruce opened the news on the television and found the news about Captain America being chase by fan girls in every channel.
"He is more popular than you, Stark" Natasha remarked.
"That's why I'm not going to help him. You guys go and get our dear captain out of this shit by yourself"
Natasha turned to her best friend. "Come on, Clint. Use your vent climbing skill for a good reason for once"
Clint and Natasha hurried to Time Square. JARVIS located the exact position of Steve for them. They found out that it is very hard to get in because at least hundreds of girl blocking their way.
"Tony! Help us find another way around. Do you have a blueprint of this building?" Natasha talked over her comm.
"I can hack. Just wait a sec"
At the tower, Tony and Bruce was looking at the hologram of the mall while JARVIS tries to determine the best route to the captain's location.
"Tick Tok, Tony"
"I'm sending the route to you phone" The billionaire told.
"Got it" Natasha said and called Steve's phone "Captain, there is a vent above you. Clint and I will pick you up there."
"Okay"
"The size of the vent system shouldn't be a problem." Clint added. "Don't worry, cap. You are in the hands of expert"
Natasha sighed and find a vent in seclude area to climb up. Clint led the way with the help of Tony and Bruce.
"Nat, do you think that we have crazy fans like cap?" Clint whispered.
"I don't know but I rather not have one" She replied. "We are spy. It's only make our jobs harder."
"Hey Natashalie" Tony interrupted. "The next exit should be the men toilet"
"Copy that, Stark"
The two master assassins looked down and saw Steve sitting on the floor. Clint lifted the cover up.
"Steve! Let's go" Natasha called.
"Oh! Thank god." He said with great relief.
Steve took a leap and climb up the vent.
"Bruce, escape route please" Clint talked over the comm.
"Head south for 200 meters. You should be at the other side of the building"
The three crawled to that direction and Clint found the exit. He signaled the other two to stop but Steve didn't see it and bump into Natasha who is in front of him.
"Sorry" He said and deeply blushed when he realize where his hand was placed on her.
"Did you just grab my ass, Steve?"
"I….uhh…I'm"
"It's clear! Let's get the hell out of here" Clint interjected and climb down the vent.
Natasha and Clint brought Steve back to Stark Tower in one piece even the good captain still pretty terrify from what happening. When the elevator's door opened, the flash lid up. Bruce, Thor and Tony with a camera in his hand were waiting for them.
"Captain Virgin survive his first Fan girls attack!" Tony exclaimed.
"It's the most horrifying experience I ever had. I rather fight with Hydra or the Chitauri again" Steve said.
Everyone else, except for Natasha, laughed. The spy led Steve to the sofa. The good captain has red lipstick marks on his face and his t-shirt stretched out and wrinkled. The sight of this made Tony inwardly smiled.
But not as much as Natasha expressed her concern over the captain well-being.
"Lord Steven! Every men in Asgard love to have hoard of women follow them around" Thor boomed "You should be glad"
"Yes Steve. You just overthrow Stark from the media attention. Every news stations broadcast your news" Bruce added.
"Of course, Captain Handsome is everyone darling. He is single. He is the most famous superhero. "Clint agreed. "And because Stark was married and has his little baby boy on the way"
"Even I'm married, Birdbrain. I'm still the most famous superhero"
Comments from each members made Steve blushed even more. Natasha held his hand with sympathy before turning to other men.
"Alright, He's been through enough for today" She stated. "Come on, cap. Let's get you cleanup"
"Don't be late. Dinner starts at eight. Pepper cooking for us"
"Stark, did you still let Pepper run your company?" Clint asked curiously. "Aren't she supposes to stay at home and doing nothing by now"
"Tomorrow is her last day and I will run the company for her until she want to get back to work"
Upon hearing the news, Natasha was really glad to have a female friend in this tower as her back-up when she argued with the men. Even she had Steve at her side but it's not enough to fight back Clint and Tony.
Both entered Steve's room and he walked straight to the bathroom.
"You shouldn't go outside alone anymore. Women tend to interest in a man walking alone rather than the one as a group"
"And you suggest that I should bring Stark or Barton with me" He replied. "I rather stay in the tower."
"You got a point but I mean Bruce or Thor"
"Thor is very easy to spot and Bruce always in the lab"
"Then you can bring me with you next time"
Silence was the answer that she got. Steve stepped out of the bathroom with new clothes.
"Are you sure about that? I'm still working on believing that you wanna hang out with me"
"Absolutely! You're a gentleman and the only one in this freaking tower that nice with me and not driving me crazy" She ensured him with her beautiful smile. "Except for JARVIS, he always on my side"
"With pleasure, Agent Romanoff" The AI answered
The two smiled at each other.
"You will have to put up with a man out of time"
"Of course, I will. Rogers"
