28 : THE FIGHT**

Natasha woke up and found his baby blue eyes looking at her. His hand ran down her face gently.

"Morning" He greeted with a small smile.

Natasha murmured something before she lifted her head to kiss him and cuddled up to his body. Steve didn't say anything and kept his eyes on her sleepy face.

"I'm sorry about last night, Steve" She said finally.

"It's okay, baby. I shouldn't have said those things to you too"

"I'm worried that the mission might keep us apart or it might be danger to our lives. I can't take that, Steve"

"Me too, Nat. I cannot imagine my life without you" He stated and held her tighter.

"I'm afraid I might lose you. Especially lose you to someone else"

"But they cannot tear us apart, right? No matters how hard they try, they cannot take anything from us. They could have our future but they cannot take back the past that we have together. It's beautiful and wonderful memories. Whatever happens, Nat I'm not regretting it"

"You always know how to make people feel better"

"I'm a team leader, remember? I have to encourage my team and give them moral support"

Tony started to notice something between the spy and the soldier had changed, it was very subtle but the billionaire knew that something was going on between them.

Normally, most occupants in the tower would not be able to be in the same room with the lovebirds. Their constant PDA was more than enough to scare everyone away but not today.

Steve lightly hugged Natasha and gave her a kiss on her cheek instead of their passionate kiss in the morning. Steve called her 'Natasha' more often than he usually did (Apparently after they got together, they started to use nicknames and he always called her 'Nat'). They didn't stay in their private world but instead paid high attention to everyone except themselves.

Something's wrong and Tony Stark will find out but he needed to enlist some help first.

His prank partner, Clint Barton.

"Dude, do you notice something?" Clint asked when Tony approached him in the kitchen.

"Notice what?"

"Something's wrong with those two" Clint replied, his keen eyes locked at Natasha and Steve on the couch.

"Yeah, I feel it too" Tony nodded in agreement "Maybe, trouble in paradise?"

"What could possibly tear the most perfect couple apart?"

They looked at the couple. Steve gave Natasha a quick kiss before headed downstairs, possibly went to gym, and leaving Natasha in the living room with Bruce, Betty and Thor.

The two exchanged a glance and realized they thought of the same thing.

"You thought what I'm thinking?" Tony asked

"Yeah, she probably the one who cause this trouble" Clint frowned his eyebrows "I will go talk to her"

"I got Capsicle"

The two prankster went separate way. Clint went to Natasha.

"Hey, Nat" He greeted "What are you reading?"

"The Alchemist" She showed him the cover "It's one of the bestselling books in history"

"Sounds boring" Clint rolled his eyes before he got straight to the point "Is there anything going on between you and Steve?"

The question got Natasha's attention, she lowered her book and looked the archer. She knew he must know something.

"It's Sharon Carter." Natasha told truthfully "She and Steve went undercover together and apparently they were getting closer than I like"

"You never liked Carter" Clint noted "But you know Steve will never cheat on you with that woman"

"I know, I trust Steve but I don't trust Carter. She tries with every chance she has to get close to Steve"

"What if I watch out for Steve for you?"

"Thank you, Clint"

"That's what a friend is for, right?" The archer gave her a smile before he kissed her forehead "Don't think too much, Red. Maybe it's nothing between them"

Steve was punching his fifth bag when Tony walked in. The rhythm of the punch was heavier than normal, surely the Captain wanted to release some anger.

"What do you want, Tony?" Steve asked without looking away from the bag.

"I just came here to talk"

"Then talk" Steve was obviously not in a good mood

"Did you and Natalie have a fight?"

Steve stopped for a moment and continued punching bag "No, we didn't. Why?"

"Just curious. You two are not as close as usual"

"We're still good, Tony. There is nothing you should be worried about"

"Alright, if you insist" Tony backed away as the sound of the punch started to get stronger "If you want to talk about anything especially what's troubling your mind, you know where to find me"

Steve didn't reply and Tony walked out of the gym.

That night Steve went on a routine cover with Sharon again. Steve told Natasha that she didn't have to wait for him. Natasha was worried but didn't want to upset Steve again so she wished him best of luck and she missed him.

Steve picked Sharon up at her apartment in a limo before they headed for the night club. The guard let them in immediately. The loud music was piercing through their ears. Steve held Sharon tighter by her waist as they got into crowd.

Women had their eyes on him, flirting him by bashing their eyes lashes, lightly touching his arms as he pass. Sharon clung to his side as they walked to their table.

"Mr. Kendrick, your table is ready, sir" The host said and gestured to the VIP section.

They sat at their table. The host sent the hottest girls in the club to him. They were all talking to him at the same time while Sharon went on the dance floor and tried to gather some intel. Steve pretended to listen to the girls talking.

"Sharon, he is here" Steve said "on your eight"

"I will try to seduce him"

"Be careful"

Steve's eyes locked at his partner when she walked past the man, used her seductive smile (which Steve thought that Nat's smile is way more powerful than Sharon's). The target turned and looked at her.

Sharon talked to the guy, trying to get information out of him before he invited her to the private table of his. They had a drink but then he answered the phone.

"Yeah, okay boss. Little Ukraine. Don't worry about it, I will take care of it"

By the time he turned back, Sharon was gone and met up with Steve outside the club and headed to Little Ukraine. She drove while Steve was calling Natasha

"Nat, I might not be home at all. We just found an important lead and I might have to get back to SHIELD to fill the report right away"

"Okay, baby. See you tomorrow" Natasha replied sleepily "I will bring you your favorite sandwich"

"You're the best"

He hung up as they arrived at the warehouse located in Little Ukraine. The warehouse seem empty but they could spot three armed guards on the roof.

"I will take them out. You wait for my signal at the front door"

Sharon nodded and Steve began to infiltrate the facility. He took three jumps and was on the roof top. The Captain took down all of them easily before peeking over the window and he saw men storing items into a containers before they left the compound.

"Alright, Sharon they are leaving. You can go in now"

Steve met up with her and they retrieved the items easily before heading back to SHIELD to get them analyzed and they had to submit the report to Fury in the morning.

Natasha walked into the building happily, practically bouncing up and down. She would have her breakfast with Steve in his office.

She opened the door to find her super soldier sleeping at his desk. The report laying on the table. She gently shook his arm.

"Morning, Steve" She said before bending down to kiss him.

Steve sleepily opened his eyes and cracked a smile to her.

Their intimate moment was interrupted when the door to Steve's bathroom was opened and Sharon Carter emerged from behind them.

"Agent Romanoff" She greeted "Morning, Steve"

"Ma'am"

Natasha was stunned as she observed the young agent. Sharon picked up her things on the couch and gathered the report.

"I will deliver this to Director Fury" She told Steve before heading to the door.

She turned around again to give the Captain a shy smile and Steve returned it to her too. When the door closed again, Natasha turned to her boyfriend.

"What's going on between you and Sharon?" She asked "And why is she here?"

"Nat" Steve knew that voice very well "We just finished the report together and she fell asleep there"

"Really, Steve? You expect me to believe that nothing really happened last night, Stop lying to me and tell me the truth, Rogers"

"The truth about what! I'm telling you everything!" He was the first to raise his voice. This is not his Natasha. He really didn't know how to deal with an irrational Natasha Romanoff "Tell me, Nat!. Talk to me! Tell me what you want to hear"

"Stop yelling at me" She yelled back

"Then you should tell me why you are angry at me? What's going on with you? Why you are acting like this?"

What does he want to hear? What is she supposed to tell him without making her sound the a crazy jealous insane bitch?

"I want to know if there is something going on between Sharon and you or not?"

"There is nothing between me and Sharon, Nat. I told you so many times that she was just my colleague."

Natasha could see his facial expression shifted from hurt to anger and Steve, letting his emotion and anger get the better of him, said the words that might end this relationship.

"Do you trust me, Natasha?"

How could he possibly ask her that question? Natasha felt that her whole body was shaking with anger too but she still could notice the utter sadness in his eyes and filled in his voice

Before she could retaliate and do something she would regret forever, Phil Coulson walked in, just in time.

The agent could sense the tension between two of his close friends.

"Captain Rogers, Agent Romanoff, Director Fury has missions for both of you" Coulson informed before led them to the meeting room.

Fury and Hill were waiting for them. Fury right away started to brief them.

"Romanoff, you are off to Kazakhstan in one hour to support the Bus team. The mission will take four days. Rogers, you and Carter will follow the lead to Germany. Looks like your intel from last night paid off. Estimate duration of your mission will be up to how fast you can find the next lead"

"Yes, sir" The couple replied

"Sitwell will give you the information" Fury told "You're dismissed"

Natasha stormed out of the door and gave no chance for Steve to talk to her. Steve followed and called out her name but she ignored him, still angry at him. He grabbed her shoulder but the spy shrugged him off.

Steve didn't give up until he can grabbed her arms and locked her in his arms, forcing her to stay still. Her piercing green eyes stared at him but she could notice how worried he was.

He kissed her and she reciprocated, arms woven around his neck, pulled him closer and deepened the kiss until they broke away.

"Be safe" He said "I love you"

"You too, Steve. Be safe"

They had a quick kissed one more time before they pulled apart and walked in the opposite directions.

Sharon was waiting for Steve and she could see the tension between the Captain and his girlfriend.
