5 : UNDERCOVER
The morning soon arrived; Tony Stark is the only one in the tower that hasn't sleep yet. He tinkering with his suits and forgot the time as always. He went upstairs to refill his coffee. While waiting for the coffee machine to brew his fresh coffee, he pulled the surveillance feed from last night.
"Anything interesting, JARVIS?" The billionaire asked.
"There is something that you should see, sir. Regarding Agent Romanoff and Captain Rogers" The AI informed.
"Bring it up, J"
Tony smiled widen when he saw the feed of the mighty Captain America and the fearsome Black Widow cuddling into one another watching the sunset.
He knew that these two has been spending a lot of time and doing suffocating cute things together.
But he never saw this coming.
The captain was always shy and awkward around women but with Natasha, he seem okay with it.
When Steve emerged at the kitchen, Tony asked him point blank.
"When will you ask little red out for real?"
Steve stopped what he currently doing and turn to scowl at Tony.
"She is my friend, Tony" The captain said with a serious tone.
"There is something going on between both of you, I can see it from a mile away"
"For the last time, Stark. Tasha and I are just friend" Steve's voice turn into a stern and commanding tone but Stark didn't care.
"Wanna bet?"
"Yes, if it will make you shut up" Steve answered annoyingly and rolled his eyes before turn his attention to his breakfast.
Tony smirked as the Captain accepted his challenge. "Hundred bucks, you and Natalie will hook up for sure, Rogers"
No answer from Steve but Tony didn't care. He grabbed his coffee pot and breakfast before turned to Steve one last time
"I'm shipping you, Romanogers" And the billionaire walked away to the elevators.
Leaving Steve sighed in frustration and continued with his breakfast.
Unknown to both billionaire and soldier, Natasha accidentally heard their entire conversation while she was about to walk downstairs. Being the world most dangerous spy, she always using her stealth mode every time.
She stood behind Steve and the super soldier doesn't even know she was there.
"Are you sure you gonna win this bet?"
Steve startled and dropped a fork in his hand before swung his punch which Natasha easily dodged. When he saw that the newcomer is his partner, he sighed in relief.
"I'm sorry, Nat. I just accept the bet to make Stark shut up" He explained and didn't make eye contact with her. Natasha can tell that he was guilty about the bet.
She cupped his face to force him to look into her beautiful green eyes, "I know and if I were you, I would do the same" She wasn't angry with him and that made Steve felt a lot better.
"It must be weird, I mean, we are friend, right?" He said.
"Drop it, Steve. Stark just messing with you"
But Steve's mind just didn't stop that easy.
The famous superheroes walked into the reception area of the Triskelion. All eyes fall on the two dynamic duo as they walked pass.
Captain America and the Black Widow is still a god to people around here.
"Welcome back Captain Rogers and Agent Romanoff!" Fury said when he walked into a conference room "You have been missed"
"It's good to be back, sir" Steve replied.
"I have a mission for both of you" The director handed them a file.
The two superheroes scooted closer and started reading details of the mission.
"Your mission is to gather information from the suspect. You will go undercover and by undercover I mean you, Captain Rogers"
"Me?" Steve's eyebrows frowned. "With all due respect, sir. Agent Romanoff is the best at this thing. Why shouldn't we send her in?"
"If you let me finish first, captain. The suspect is a female and from our latest intel, she prefer a man as her love interest."
Natasha can see Steve swallowed. He's never good at undercover even he had been learned from the best of the best, the Black Widow.
"Is there any problem, captain?"
"No, sir"
"Good, you team will meet you at the deploying bay in one hours" Fury said. "You are going to Miami"
The team consisted of eight agents including Steve and Natasha. Natasha noticed that a new female junior agent couldn't take her eyes out of the captain. Steve was busy studying his mark so he didn't noticed that the girl almost drooling on him.
Unknown to Natasha and Steve, every SHIELD agents has been gossip about them for a long time. Everyone knew that they have a chemistry and a great partner but they just loved to watch them being together.
The team arrived at Miami in the afternoon and went straight to SHIELD safe house and started to settle down. Steve and Sam Wilson or the Falcon shared the bedroom together while Natasha had to share with the junior agent.
Steve prepared himself for tonight mission. He has to get into the club that the suspect always party at. His alias is Jake Warren, a model from Los Angeles.
When Steve got inside he will be there alone without any backup. His only backup is Sam who will be at the rooftop across the street. Two agents will cover the back door. The surveillance team will be in the van in the alley next to the club.
Natasha will be in the van and help Steve through their communication devices.
When the nightfall, the operation began and the team got to their position.
Steve drove his black Corvette and parked it nearby. The captain still looks very nervous about the undercover mission.
"Natasha, remembered how the undercover mission in Dubai went down?" He said over the comm.
"Yes, you got thrown out from the building and almost get yourself kill."
"That's not the part I was talking about! I mean the part that I told you how the undercover mission make me nervous"
"It's gonna be fine, Steve. Just be yourself and use that 40's charming things of you."
"It's not gonna be that easy, ma'am"
He always called her 'Ma'am' when he is really nervous.
"Okay then, you don't have to talk to anyone just focus on your mark. You can do it, Steve" She soothed him. "Now get the hell in there!"
Her encouragement is all he need.
Back in the van across the street, all agents in that van exchanged each other a glance upon hearing those words came out from the Black Widow.
No talking to other females except the suspect, huh, Black Widow?
That is the question that everyone on this team thought to themselves especially a female junior agent. Every woman in SHIELD has a thing for the handsome captain and everyone is jealous of Natasha because the famous Black Widow is the only female that works closely with Captain America.
I bet that you want to keep him all to yourself, Romanoff. After you can see how charming the good captain can be, if he want to be, and his charm is not less than other member of the Avengers.
It is his politeness and gentlemanly things that melted every girl to their knee.
Everyone thought that the Black Widow is heartless and not capable of love, but they're all wrong.
She is one of the women that, well she is the perfect example for a woman who catches a fever from Captain America's cuteness.
'Can't wait to get back to the Triskelion now!' The young agent squealed inwardly 'Can't wait to tell everyone that the deadly Black widow has a heart!'
Steve did what Natasha told him at first but every woman in the club turned their attention to the handsome man. The captain gave everyone a smile that particularly makes the girls swoon.
The marks as well turn her attention to the blonde man. She walked down from the VIP floor and got to Steve in no time.
"Hey, handsome" She greeted with seductive smile and put her hand on Steve's bicep. "Wanna have a drink with me?"
"It would be my pleasure" He answered and gave her a kiss on her hand.
The woman giggled. "I'm Irina."
Irina Pandev suspected to have a connection with top member of the terrorist group in Eastern Europe. She own a shipping company based in Miami and involving in Caribbean smuggling ring.
"Please to meet you, beautiful. I'm Jake"
'And I taught that I'm the only 'beautiful' to you, Rogers' Natasha teased can be heard from his comm.
The corner of his lips curved up slightly before turn back to normal.
Irina linked her arm with Steve and led him to the VIP floor. Irina walked proudly as she has the hottest man in the club with her. Steve sat with his mark at her table; pretend to enjoy the champagne and the conversation with Irina.
Finally, Irina whispered something into Steve's ear and he eagerly nodded his head. The woman took his hand and led him to the upper floor. It's a private room for only exclusive customers.
"Wait here, darling. I'll be back soon" She said with a lustful voice.
Irina left Steve in the room for ten minutes. In that ten minutes, Steve's heart raced because he know what's going to happen next.
"Nat, do I really have to do this?"
"There is a tranquilizer dart in your right pocket" She replied. "Do not use until she gave us the information"
Steve was about to reply when the door slammed open and Irina walked in with five of her bodyguards.
"Well, Jake…apparently you aren't a model" Irina stated. "You're Captain America"
"Cover blown! Get the hell out of there, Steve" Natasha said over the comm. "Falcon, a distraction please"
The bodyguards walked toward Steve but the explosion is a perfect distraction. Steve grabbed a chair and smashed it on the bodyguard to knock them unconscious. Irina ran away with her bodyguards with Steve quickly followed them.
At the van, Natasha contact Fury to inform that the situation has changed.
"What's happening, Romanoff?"
"The cover blown, sir" She replied. "Permission to take down the enemies and capture the target"
"Permission granted"
Natasha gave order to other agent before ran to the alley next to the club and found a fire escape.
"Steve, your location?"
"At the roof top" He replied. She can heard him panting and a punching sound through the comm.
The Black Widow leaped up the stairs with guns in her hands. She made it to the rooftop and saw Steve disarmed Irina and kicked her knife away. She can saw her partner hesitate to hit the woman before another bodyguard show up and took Steve's attention away from Irina.
Natasha shot her guns and sent the bullet through the enemy head and then she saw another thing.
"Steve! Look out!" Black Widow shouted and ran to her partner.
Steve turned back quickly and almost got stabbed by Irina. Natasha managed to knock her down with a roundhouse kick.
"Wilson, we had the target. Could you take her to the safe house?"
"Of course" Sam replied and flew down to the rooftop before take the unconscious Irina away.
"Thank you" Steve said to Natasha.
"Don't forget you weapon next time, Rogers" She handed his shield.
"How am I supposed to carry my shield into the club without being notice?"
She hadn't replied yet. Steve pushed her away and deflected a grenade away but its power is enough to send Captain America fly out the rooftop and fell four stories down.
Natasha shot the attacker and rush down to her partner who still lying down on the road and groan painfully.
'Steve!" She shouted and kneeled down next to her partner.
"I'm alright, Nat" He said before sat himself up. "The shield blocked the bla…"
"You almost got yourself kill again!" She angrily yelled. "She almost stab you! Why don't you just knock her out when you have a chance?"
"You don't have to worry about me, Natasha" Steve tried to calm his partner down. "I can handle being around women and not making a fool of myself and I was raised not to harm a woman"
"Your politeness will kill you someday, Rogers" She growled, looked very upset that Steve put himself in harm way. "For god sake, Steve! You should hit a women when she try to stab you with a knife"
"I saw that coming, Nat" Steve answered carefully. "I know she would do it"
Natasha narrowed her eyes. She is still mad at him.
"Woman is your only weakness, Rogers. A weakness that you should get rid of it ASAP"
"That's why I have you to watch my back, Nat. I know that you got my back and I don't have to worry that someone will try to stab me"
"Steve, I can't always does that for you. What if I'm not there for you?"
"But you are here now, aren't you? I trust you with my life, Nat. If I fall for anything, you are the only person I knew that would come and save me"
The spy smiled at him, a smile that could light up the town. Steve took that as she didn't mad at him anymore.
"You should smile more often" He said. His eyes still looking at her beautiful smile. "The world shine every time you smile, Natasha"
The spy blushed at her captain's compliment. This time, she is the one avoiding the eye contact.
"I'm the ruthless assassin, remember?"
"Don't be. You can be Natasha Romanoff with me. No need to put on any mask or stay in someone's shadow. Just be yourself the one I saw everyday"
"Steve Rogers, you are a natural born charmer. Every girl swoon with just a few word you said"
"Before the serum, my charm never work with woman"
They exchanged a smile before Steve pulled her into a hug
"I'm sorry that I make you worry, Nat"
"It's alright. You still alive, don't you?" She replied softly and nuzzled into his chest.
