Let's see what Barton and Stark had plan for Steve and Natasha
10 : Prelude To the Evil Plan
The sun beat into their bedroom, waking the spy from her slumber. Still being locked in Steve's embrace, she begrudgingly slid out of it and headed for the bathroom, she got dressed and dolled up for the day and snuck out to the empty kitchen. She turned on the coffee maker and plopped some English muffins into the toaster. As she sat reading the newspaper, waiting for her breakfast to finish, Tony came in.
"Hey, Natashalie" he said. She sighed. Her peaceful morning was now ruined.
"What do you want, Stark?" She asked, annoyed.
"When you're done here, come up to the labs. Me and Brucey got something cool to show you"
Natasha rolled her eyes as the billionaire exited. She poured her coffee and ate her English muffins with jam. Though she wasn't necessarily wanting to, she went to Stark's labs.
"Alright, Stark. I'm looking forward to a peaceful day today. If this happens to just be wasting my time, I'll rip your head off, and give you a spinedectomy"
Tony gulped as Bruce handed her a metal box. The spy opened it and her eyes went wide when she saw what was inside the box. Tony picked one dart up and held it in front of the spy
"This is a highly advanced tranquilizer dart. We've designed it to be one of your weapons, but only in the most dire situations. This thing can put an army of elephants to sleep"
Natasha loaded the dart into an available gun and pointed it around, causing Tony and Bruce to duck.
"Easy there!"
"How do you know it works?"
"Lets say a teensy bit of it got into Thor's drink"
"How mad was he?"
"We were able to sum it up as him just getting really drunk. But he was asleep for a good 24 hours.
"Maybe we should test it on the Hulk" Tony proposed.
"Are you insane?!" Bruce and Natasha bellowed in union
"Hey! What's going on in here?!" a voice asked from the doorway. Startled, Natasha donned her Black Widow mode and shot the dart at the voice. He looked in shock and devastation as she saw who it was.
Steve removed the dart from his shoulder, looking surprised and a bit hurt emotionally. "Nat. Did you..." he began before slipping into sleep.
Natasha dropped the gun and dashed to her boyfriend, gently guiding his unconscious body to the ground.
"Steve, I am so, so sorry!" she profusely apologized. Steve was knocked out.
"That was hilarious! JARVIS! You record this, right?" Tony asked. Natasha stood and cracked him in the face, knocking him out as well.
Steve groaned as he awoke from his unconscious state. Natasha was by his side and immediately began attending to him. They had brought him back up to his room and laid him on his bed.
She placed a glass of water in his hands.
"Drink this. It'll help with the grogginess"
Steve complied and drank the water within a few seconds.
"What happened? I remember going into the lab and...you shooting me? Why did you shoot me?"
Her mouth morphed into a sad frown. "I got startled and my instincts kicked in"
"Last night you're telling I'm your valentine, now you're shooting at me?"
"I'm really sorry, Steve. I truly am and i swear I will make it up to you tonight. Just please don't hate me"
He softened. "I can never hate you, Natty"
She smiled brightly. Steve rubbed his head.
"How long was I out?"
"Three hours. Would've been longer, but your serum burned it off nice and quick. Stark on the other hand..."
"You shot him too?"
"No, but I gave him a nice black eye"
"That's my girl"
She smiled again as Steve laid back down.
"I still feel a bit tired"
"Me too. Shall we take a nap?"
"We shall" he replied, taking her into his arms and drifting to sleep.
When they woke up again, it was time for dinner, and everyone was gather in dining room except Thor and Jane, who were still in Asgard. During the course of the meal, Tony would play and repeat the footage of Natasha shooting Steve, teasing the pair of them. Natasha glared, but Steve gave her a look saying not to attack. She complied.
Once he was finished eating, Steve excused himself to his room, where he spent a few minutes to himself before the vent popped open and his favorite red head appeared.
"It's time to make it up to you" and with that she pulled off his shirt and pushed him backwards on the bed.
Sunday came and Steve and Natasha went out for their weekly brunch. It was something they both looked forward to throughout the week, so each Sunday to them couldn't come fast enough.
They decided to take a walk around the city before returning to Stark Tower. They walked arm in arm through Central Park and then through Times Square before finally arriving back.
Natasha challenged him to a sparring match, which he accepted. Though they went at one another fiercely, they always held back the full force of their strength to avoid hurting one another.
It was an intense match that lasted for six rounds until Steve pinned her to the ground by her wrists. He leaned down and pecked her on the lips.
"Seems like a draw to me"
"Agreed. Good match, Rogers"
He released her and then they went to different sides of the gym. Steve went for a punching bag while Natasha sat down on a yoga mat and began her regiment. Steve sent two bags flying away, and as he bent down for a third, he couldn't help but be entranced by her graceful moves. She saw him looking and winked at him.
After Steve sent his third bag hurtling away, he gathered up his water bottle and towel and headed for the showers.
"See you later, Miss Romanoff" he said.
She smiled. "Namaste, Steven"
Though they were alone in the gym, one of the allures of their relationship was the secrecy it had from everyone else. But now with Fury and Stark snooping around, they had to be extra careful. But luckily it made their interactions all the more rewarding.
Steve stepped into the shower and began soaking himself with the hot water. He was washing his face when he felt a cold, sharp blade press lightly at his throat. He smiled, knowing who was behind him.
"You let your guard down, captain" Natasha seductively whispered.
"Well, allow me to retort" and with that he whirled round, disarming her and pegging her to the wall, kissing her.
They began hot and heavy fast, her touch melting against her soldier. She reached for the dial and turned up the heat.
"This isn't hot enough for you already?" He asked.
"Not in the slightest" She answered and pulled him by his neck to kiss him some more.
It became steamy in both terms of the word as the lovebirds indulged in their love for each other. He moaned as she gave him a hickey on his shoulder.
"I love you, Natasha Romanoff" He murmured and she replied with a kiss.
"And I love you, Steve Rogers"
Their make out session was interrupted when the door to the locker rooms opened. They immediately broke off and froze.
"Capsicle, you're in here?"
Natasha sighed in annoyance when she heard the billionaire's voice.
"Stark. What is it?" Steve called back.
"Just came to shower. Pep won't let me use ours when I'm covered in grease and oil"
"Ok. I was just finishing up anyway"
Steve poked his head out of the curtains to see Tony already in the shower at the other end of the locker room. In a swift movement, he turned off the water, grabbed two towels, wrapped Natasha in one and then dashed out into the locker area to quickly change and escape.
"I'll see you later tonight" Natasha said, hugging him and darting out.
Natasha made good on her word by sneaking in through the vent while he was
sleeping and slipped under the covers. She began leaving some of her clothes at his place, despite Steve saying he didn't mind her wearing his shirts.
Eventually, they woke up and Steve headed for the kitchen first.
"Hey, Capsicle's finally awake" The teasing voice sounded the moment Steve walked into the living room.
"Morning" Steve greeted everyone.
Natasha entered a few minutes later and sat down at the table beside Steve.
Tony kept his eyes on the pair, but found no sign of any romantic interaction.
"You know, Steve-o, alot of the females on the Helicarrier have asked Barton and myself whether or not you were single"
Steve looked up from his breakfast while Natasha did her best to hide in her jealousy. Bruce and Thor merely continued eating, not wanting to get involved with another round of Steve vs Tony.
"And?" Steve asked.
"I told them to chase after you as long as possible until you said yes"
Steve was aghast. "Have you lost your mind?"
Natasha glared at Tony with her Black Widow stare. She did not like what he had just revealed. Young and dumb females chasing after her Steve? No chance in hell.
"We just feel its time you found a girlfriend, Cap" Clint said. "We're only looking out for your best interests"
"I seriously want to kill both of you right now" Steve muttered.
Save some for me, Natasha thought to herself
Clint ascended back to his vent after heard the threat. Tony raised his hands in surrender and retreated to his labs. Nobody wanted to mess with the angry super soldier at the moment.
Natasha couldn't help but like this side of him. The sheer devotion he felt for her was greatly appreciated by her.
"They're just messing with you, Steve. Ignore them" Bruce said.
"Aye. Don't not allow their juvenile tricks best you" Thor added.
Natasha squeezed his leg and discreetly smiled at him. He smiled back.
