I think we need to make a few thing clear about this story.

1. I wrote this story way back before the Winter Soldier came out in the cinema. Right around when the first trailer came out, so there will be a lot of thing that not relate to the movie. I kinda assume that he will be capture by SHIELD and they help him recover his lost memories.

2. This story happened after the movie but like I say, I write this way before the movie even come out. Natasha and Steve never mentioned about what they have been through together during the winter soldier incident. (There will be some mention about the incident in the future chapter by the character that you all love her so much, Sharon) The Winter soldier incident will be completely different from what really happen and the end of it is also different. Bucky is now in custody of SHIELD. They kept him in the Fridge to help him recover his lost memories. Fury make a deal with Steve and Natasha that they cannot visit Bucky. (It's complicated and I don't want to spoil everything, you will find out more detail in the future chapter)

3. About my proofreader, Muldoon22, I didn't 'fired' Muldoon (As January asked me in the review). Muldoon has personal matters to attend so Muldoon might not be able to help me with the proofread as much as before.

4. By the way, when I mean it a very very very long way to go, I mean that the story isn't over yet. There will be a lot more chapter. This isn't half way of this story yet.

19 : THREATENING CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE BLACK WIDOW*

The next day, Steve and Natasha were about to endure one of the longest day of their entire life, the most nerve-wracking as well. When each team member confronted them with a subject that they never thought anyone would talk to them about.

Pepper – Steve

Even though Pepper just threatened Steve a month ago, she felt the need to make it official once again. She found the good Captain in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for his team. Pepper looked around and found that they were alone.

"Mrs. Stark!" Steve greeted "Hope you are staying for breakfast"

"Unfortunately not, Captain" Pepper replied "I will be leaving for Chicago in 20 minutes but I do have an important matter to discuss with you"

"What's it about?"

"I already threatened you a month ago about not hurting Natasha" She began "I still would take her side if it came down to that because you know…"

"You know her more than you know me"

"That's one of a reason but women help each other out, Steve" She pointed out "I can count on you, right?"

"I'm a man of my word, Pepper" Steve replied confidently "I will not hurt Natasha in any way"

Thor – Natasha

"Lady Natasha, will you accompany me to one of those coffee vendors Lord Barton always talk about?" Thor asked when he saw Natasha was alone in the living room.

The spy turned to him and gave a smile "Starbucks?"

"He said I should try learning a normal Midgardian daily routine"

"Let me grab my jacket" She told him and ran to her room.

She texted Steve that she is going out with Thor. The two friends walked down the street in normal clothes, but Thor's figure easily attracted a lot of attention.

Natasha ordered the coffee for them, before sitting with the god at a table in a secluded corner.

"So, what is it that you had to drag me here?" Natasha asked, knowing that Thor must have something on his mind.

"I did not mean to intervene in your private matter with Lord Steven but I have to ask you one thing" The god replied with a serious tone "Don't break the Captain's heart. In fact, don't break him, mentally or physically. I can see that he really loves you, my lady and you love him too"

"So you think that I will be the one to jeopardize this relationship?"

"No, my lady, I know your words are gold, same as Lord Steven" Thor said "I simply want to warn you, I hope you are not angry with my transgression"

"It's okay, Thor I'm not mad at you"

The god broke out with a big smile "Lord Banner told me about the place where they sell pancakes across the street, shall we conquer it?"

Clint - Steve

Steve was at the gym after having his breakfast. Thor was taking Natasha to Starbucks because he wanted to learn more about Midgardian daily routines. The Captain was punching away at a heavy bag when he heard something dropping from a vent.

"Steve" Clint greeted

"Let me guess, you want to threaten me"

"Yeah, I feel like I have to make it official" The archer replied playfully "I know you won't hurt her or anything but she's my sister"

"I know, Clint" Steve turned to look at his friend "But I can ensure you I won't hurt her"

"If you do, my arrow will be in your eye socket"

Darcy – Steve

Steve was taking a shower after a long exercise. He stepped out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his waist.

"Hey, Cap!"

The voice startled Steve but not as much as the one who made the noise.

"Miss Lewis" Steve greeted back, feeling himself blush "What are you doing in the men's locker room?"

"I just want to talk to you"

"You can wait outside. I will get dressed quickly"

"It will only take two minutes, Captain" Darcy replied "It's about you and Natasha"

Steve silenced and Darcy took this opportunity to continue.

"Just so you know, Cap. Even though I have a slight crush on you and I think that you are adorable, Natasha is like my big sister" She said, "If you hurt her or break her heart, I will hunt you down and shoot my taser at your groin."

And with that, the intern walked out of the room, leaving the Captain confused.

Jane – Natasha

Natasha and Thor came back from their brunch. The god quickly disappeared to his room, leaving Natasha alone in the living room.

A little while later, Jane came down and sat beside Natasha on the couch.

"Dr. Foster" The spy greeted

"Just so we are clear, Thor made me do this. It's not really my business to say such things"

"What is he making you do?"

"To tell you not to break Steve's heart"

"Here we go again" Natasha muttered

"Just don't hurt him okay?" Jane said

"I won't"

"Uh—one more thing, I know how to create a portal between the nine realms. If you did hurt him, prepare to be send to Svartalfheim"

"Sorry to interrupt, ma'am. Mr. Stark is requesting your presence in his labs, Agent Romanoff"

Tony – Natasha

Natasha started to feel annoyed by her friends if they don't stop bossing her around in her relationship with Steve.

And why on earth that she has to listen Tony Stark lecturing her about relationship?

"I know what you going to say, Stark" Natasha started "But please keep it to yourself. I already heard enough of it for one day"

"You do?" Tony asked back, looking confused. "How would you know what I am going to talk to you?"

"Fine, say what you need to say and make it quick"

"God, you get scarier every day and it almost makes me forgot what I am about to say"

Natasha cursed something in Russian and headed to the door.

"Just don't break Capsicle's heart, okay?" Tony said "Or I will shoot you in the face with my repulsor"

Natasha stormed off at the same time that Peppers walked in

"Hey, honey! You're back!" Tony called happily

"What did you just say to Natasha?"

"Threatened her not to break Steve's heart? Did you do the same?"

"Yeah, I threaten Steve a month ago"

"Damn it! And you never told me they were already a couple"

Bruce – Steve and Natasha

Natasha took an elevator back to the living room and found Steve was walking around, typing something.

"Hey, baby" She greeted

"I'm looking for you everywhere" He said and hugged her tightly. "Fury wants to see us in an hour"

"You're not gonna believe what happened to me today" She stated "Thor, Jane and Stark threatened me not to break your heart"

His smiled widen "Same thing happened to me but with Pepper, Darcy and Clint"

"Darcy took my side?"

"Apparently yes, she said she will taser me in the groin if I hurt you"

Natasha burst into laughter and had to lean against her boyfriend. Steve loved to hear her laugh like that, out of pure happiness.

"Steve! Tasha!" Someone called them from behind.

"Hey! Bruce" Natasha greeted

"I have to say something to both of you even if though it is none my business but for the sake of this team"

Natasha couldn't help but roll her eyes while Steve stood still.

"Just don't break each other's hearts or hurt each other's feelings, please" The doctor asked nicely "The team dynamic will change if those things happen and I don't want to see my friends hurt"

The couple stood silenced so Bruce continued.

"Steve, if you hurt Natasha, you will have to deal with the other guy because he's grown really fond of her. He promises to rip you limb to limb" Bruce tried to say it nicely as his usual self before turning to the spy "and Natasha, you will have to deal with me, which is much worse than the other guy. Oh, the other guy says you will have to deal with him too since the Captain was the only one who to never judge him"

The couple still shock and didn't say anything

"That's all I need to say" Bruce concluded "Have a good evening"

When Bruce disappeared, Steve spoke up.

"If I hurt you or something, can you kill me before Hulk gets to me?"

Phil – Steve and Natasha

Steve and Natasha arrived at SHIELD. The Captain was still injured from Loki's torment. The couple walked to Fury's office and they saw Coulson was sitting in front of the room.

"Coulson!" Natasha called loudly and hugged the agent.

"Evening, Phil" Steve said and shook hands with the man

Natasha swore that she saw Coulson flush a little and had to fight back the urge to chuckle. Coulson was here for delivery of the Bus team's monthly report.

Fury called Steve in first, leaving Natasha and Coulson alone.

"You know that Captain Rogers is my idol" Phil started

"Yes, Phil, everyone's aware of that" She was obviously annoyed and didn't take her eyes off the magazine.

"Don't you break his heart, okay?"

That got Natasha attention as she looked at the agent "You know me, Phil. I take everything seriously"

"Because if you do, I will make sure that he will never get back to you forever. Lets just say I will hook him up with Agent Carter"

Natasha shot him a deadly glare but Coulson didn't fear her. Fury's secretary told Natasha that the director wanted to see her now. She got up and walked to the door.

Steve sat down and waiting. Coulson was obviously shaking with excitement to sit next to his idol but he suppressed it, he had important matter to discuss with the captain.

"Captain Rogers" Coulson started "I would like to talk to you about something"

"Of course, go ahead"

"About your relationship with Natasha" The agent told "I would like to threaten you that if you hurt her in some way, I don't care that you are my childhood hero I will make you suffer the worst fear you would ever imagine. I am really fond of Natasha and have known her longer than you."

Steve narrowed his eyes "All right"

"Okay, I just have to give you an official threat that's all" Coulson stood up and reached his hands out "See you again soon, Captain"

Steve shook hands but didn't say anything back

Nick Fury - Steve and Natasha

"Captain, hope you are feeling better"

"I'm feeling fine, sir"

"I believe you know why I am calling you here"

"I think I do, sir" Steve replied "About my relationship with Agent Romanoff"

"And you know my rule"

"Yes, sir I do know your rule but I'm willing to resign myself from SHIELD to be with her—"

Fury raised his hand to stop the Captain.

"That's not necessary" The director said "But I trust you to separate your personal life from your work. Agent Romanoff is still your teammate and your co worker. Don't let yourself get compromised by any emotion that will lead to jeopardize your own team, do you understand?"

"Yes, sir"

"Captain, I will say this once. Agent Romanoff is like my daughter, my number one. If you hurt her, I will put you in ice for another 70 years"

"I'm not going to let that happen, sir"

"Good, you can go now" Fury said before turning to his intercom "Send me Romanoff"

Steve walked to the door and Natasha walked right in at the same time. They exchanged small smile before Steve closed the door behind him.

"Sit down" Fury ordered "I believe you know that you have broken about a dozen of rules by dating Captain Rogers"

"Yes, sir and you know me, I sometimes do my own thing"

Fury snorted "Is that why you asked me not to send you on an undercover mission?"

"One of many reasons, sir"

"If you choose to publicly date Captain Rogers, I have no choice but to limit your missions related to infiltration and undercover."

"I understand, sir" Natasha nodded "But it's not necessary because this news never reached the media"

"I would call it a precaution, Agent. I don't want to risk compromising anything." Fury corrected before looking at the woman in front of him "I hope you know what you are doing, Agent"

"Yes, sir I know what I am doing"

"That's all I have to discuss with you" Fury concluded "You are free to go, Romanoff"

Natasha lightly smiled and walked out the door where she found Steve standing, waiting for her.

"I believe that everyone already threatened us" Steve said "At least the last three choose the neutral ground"

"Let's not let it come down to that"

Steve reached out his hand and Natasha put her hand in his "What do you think about Italian food?"

"I want to eat something that you cook"

"My arms still hurts so…maybe next week?"

"Fine, pick the restaurant, I will drive"
