The boys, except steve and bruce, were partying hard at a night club. Steve was in his bedroom, sitting on the bed, he took that peacefully silence time to draw a rough sketch of his beautiful wife, it was quite... Well it was really GOOD sketch, the lines, the perfect shape of her eyes, nose, ears, and what he liked the most, her lips. Steve smiled at the drawing and with his thumb, he caress the paper where natasha's cheek were, still smiling, he says to himself "she's so beautiful" steve was finishing with the details of the sketch when his phone rang. He turned his head to the night stand, where his phone was, at first he didn't want to answer, because maybe it will be tony calling him again and trying to convince him to go to the night club and "have fun" while natasha wasn't home. So he sigh and answers "hello ?"
"hey cap, hill here" agent Hill said
Steve put the sketchbook and the pencil aside him "¡ oh hey, maria ! What's up ?"
"fury wants to see you" maria says
"do you know for what ?"
"uhh, no I don't, but maybe it's for a mission. So be prepared"
"okay, I will be there in thirty minutes" steve said while nodding and hanging out. He quickly got himself off the bed and headed to his closet to pack his stuff.
At the N.Y. Triskelion...
"ahh ! Captain rogers !" fury greet steve as he saw the captain walk into his office
"sir" steve smile at his boss and fury gesture him to take a seat "do you wanted to see me ?" cap asked while seating down and as well fury
"oh yeah, I need you for a undercover mission"
Steve quickly worried about nat and bobbi "does natasha's cover mission blew up ? She and bobbi are ok ?!" he yelled
"no no, please calm down, cap... Widow's and agent morse mission is going perfectly fine" fury smirked at steve's relief sigh. Suddenly there was a knock on the director's door, fury and steve turned out to see who was it "and since your partner is occupied, you'll be partnering with agent carter" the agent opened the door and steve quickly stood up (because he's a gentleman)
She walked towards steve and stretched out her hand at him "captain, nice to work on your side... Again" a smug smile appear on sharon's face. Steve returned a shy smile to her and shake her hand, but quickly broke the salute. Sharon smiled to herself and took a seat next where steve was. The blondie prefer not to sit next to her, so he will be stand up, cross his arms around his chest and listen carefully at his boss
"now, this is your mission, you two will infiltrate to a gala party, right there, there will be the most important and exclusive persons of New York... fury told them to turn to the big screen back of them. And instantly a middle aged man appeared on the screen "senator Wilshire, will be attending too, and in case you don't know who he is. He's one of SHIELD allies, and a few days ago, he received a death threat from an unknown number, that our hackers still can't find who was it" the boss said frustratingly while rubbing his temples with his fingers, and steve narrowing his brows as he focus at the instructions fury gave him while focusing on the senator's pic on the screen
"why can he just can stay home ?" sharon ask casually. Nick and steve turned their glance at her, as she keep saying "until we found out the unknown number ?... carter stands as she look at them, while putting her hands on her hips while the mens still seeing her... babbling "it's really stupid of him go out and -
"¡ that's a very good question, agent carter !... fury, thank God, you interrupt her ! He glance at steve and then return to sharon ...but we have reasons, that I'm not going to say about it to you" she quickly apologize and shut her mouth. Steve was struggling not to smile while sharon slowly sat again, fury sighed and continue his speech "so.. You must protect him of any threat, any attempt, danger, or even of a fly" they both nodded at fury's order
"we will be his bodyguards, or something ?" steve asked as he put his hands on his belt
"no, if the threatening sees he brought guards, they will want to eliminate him faster, so you and carter will be a couple invited by the senator Wilshire, so stay close to him, but not to much either"
Fury stood up from his seat and ready to leave "a couple ?" steve whispered under his breath, knowing that this missions needed to be so close to each other, hugs, cuddles and kisses... 'ki- kisses, damn it' steve said on his mind
"a couple" sharon said while smirking to herself
"yes a couple, so, get started, the mission starts tomorrow at seven... So suit up for then" fury walked out of his office, leaving steve and sharon alone
Steve widen his eyes as his boss left, so he quickly made his way out of there "see you tomorrow night, agent. Excuse me" he said to her coldly and went towards the exit, leaving sharon with a HUGE smirk on her fucking face
At the time steve arrived at the avengers tower, he was starving, so he went to the main kitchen and saw the boys were already at home. Cap smiled at his wasted sleeping soundly friends on the couches and floor, he checked the clock and it was 1:45. Steve decided to leave them there and get his snacks, so he went to the fridge and grab whatever his stomach begged him. He sat on one of the kitchen island stool while eating chips, when he sees that clint and tony were hugging tightly, cap chuckles and quickly took out his Stark-Phone and went to snap a picture of them. Perfect ! Now he will have a great blackmailing for the two pranksters. When he finished saving the pic, his phone rang and saw the ID number quickly answering it
"hey baby !" steve said happily and then munching a chip on his mouth
"hello to my hubby" natasha says on the other line
"how'd you've been ?"
"a little tired, that's all"
"yeah, well I can't wait to see you"
"hmm, me too... they continued talking about random stuff, and natasha started to feel more tired
"stevie, I'm really exhausted... she said while yawning "me and bobbi have a very long day"
"oh, well -
"bye, baby...
Steve remember a thing "nat ?! uh... I wanna say something to you" he said nervous
"what ?" natasha's eyes were closing slowly, and she was trying so hard not to fall asleep
"im doing a undercover mission... With agent 13"
Suddenly natasha's sleep flew away, she snapped her eyes wide open and could feel a wave of jealously ran through her body 'tasha, think like an grown adult' natasha said to herself. "so ?" the red head says like if she didn't mind that sharon maybe would kiss her husband. So she took a relaxing deep breath and continues "babe if you thought I would be mad, no im not" natasha manage saying without yelling or being angry like an crazy teenage girl
"really ?" steve said really surprised at natasha's reaction
"yeah... just be careful okay ?" she was literally angry from inside
"kay, see you soon" steve smirked and stood up from the stool
"ok bye, love you" natasha says
"love ya too, goodbye" steve smiled and hangout the call.
"what's the news" natasha asked when she enters a room of a warehouse
"we have him" bobbi answers as she shows her the monitor "he's going to a reunion near downtown area" natasha nods to her friend
"so we'll kill him there" the spy says. But then she thought that it'll be better if they kill him silently, so she asks bobbi "are you good at sniping ?"
"an expert I'm not, but I know archery" bobbi said turning her glance at the screen
Natasha smirks "archery ? Oh yeah... I know from who" mockingbird wide her eyes and said nervously
"nat, barton didn't teach me... morse not able to make eye contact with natasha. The redhead chuckles and stared at her for awhile, bobbi knew that natasha wasn't going to buy the lie, so she turned around to see her and yells "okay ! Just a little few tricks" bobbi finally admitted and natasha laughs and rises her hands on defense.
- Steve's mission -
"captain, we must be totally convincingly about our covers" sharon said while they head to the gala
"yeah... Sure" steve says as the car stops. He had his hair dyed black and sharon was brunette "okay, once we get inside, you must follow my lead" cap told her while he was ready to exit the car "this isn't a training session from SHIELD, this mission has a human life in middle of it"
"cap, I've -
"captain rogers... For you im captain rogers" steve glance at her coldly
Sharon saw him and nodded "uhh, yeah, sorry" she said and steve opened the door
"remember, don't do nothing stupid" he says to her
"it will be ok, captain" sharon say as following steve outside from the car
Natasha's and bobbi's mission was perfectly performed. They found the bald guy and bobbi eliminate him with a beautiful shoot with an arrow and natasha helped her to kill the rest who were in that room, they let the rest of their team kill the others in the building. Bobbi and natasha entered on the elevator of their hotel room so they can go to their bedrooms when bobbi said
"thank God we finish -
"so you can go with barton ?" natasha finished for her while smiling
"ja. Ja. Very funny nat" bobbi said sarcastically and then rolls her eyes"and yes, to go with barton. But look at yourself, you miss steve like fuck !" mockingbird teased too
"yeah... natasha chuckled and then sigh, because it was true, she missed her captain. Once they reach their floor, they directly went to their bedrooms "I'll text him, to tell him I'm on my way back tomorrow" natasha said while opening her door amd bobbi smiled at her. As said, a successfully and excellent mission that the two agents were happy cause they will return to NY tomorrow morning...
But steve's mission didn't went too well...
At the gala.
Captain America and agent 13, introduced themselves to everyone as jack anderson and lilian phillips, an engaged couple, they were glancing at their protected target as they "dance" or "talk". Steve saw no one suspicious was around senator Wilshire. Now they were ordering drinks in the bar, but still watching out for any threats
"so, I heard you like to draw" sharon said while sipping into her drink
Steve nods and took a sip too of his own drink "yep, since I was kid... Who told you that ?"
"my aunt" she says and he frowned
"your aunt ?"
Agent 13 nodded and smiled "yes, aunt peggy" steve almost spit his drink
"peggy carter ?!" he said in a low voice so the people around couldn't hear
"yeah, Margaret carter"
"are you serious ?!"
She chuckled "of course, I've thought you knew ?" steve shook his head saying no. They minutes passed pretty fast, as steve couldn't expected they would because he was talking about peggy with her niece. When suddenly some cheers from the other side of the building caught sharon's attention and she spotted a familiar face, so she growl at it "we have a little problem" steve immediately turned where her eyes were focused on
"you got to be kidding me" rogers sighed heavily and lowered his head, and returning his glance the one and only, Tony Stark, greeting and blowing kisses to everyone who was in his path 'typical of stark' steve smiled at himself, he turns to see sharon, who was seeing tony too "wait here, let me deal with it" she just nodded and watch steve going towards the billionaire. Steve waited for the crowd could leave stark alone, and once that happen, tony saw a man coming straight to him, and recognized him instantly. Tony was going to open his mouth when steve quickly greeted him and introduce himself as shaking his hand and discreetly took him outside. Once they were outside, steve grab him from his suit "what the hell are you doing here ?!" cap asked
"wow ! Language, cap !" tony teased as he release his suit from steve's fist
Steve rolled his eyes up and narrow his eyebrows tightly "stark, I'm not for your stupid jokes, im on a mission. So why are you here !"
"the most important people in New York are here... And I'm important, and from New York"
The blonde man then realized he was right, tony stark had to be here. But he was worried about his friend because if something goes wrong, his friend will be in danger "okay... just stay away from me back there, or they'll be suspicious" he warned him
Tony rolls his eyes at him "yeah yeah" they walked into the building and tony said to him after they could reach the gala "ohh, by the way, little spider certainly will love that hair color on you" stark kept walking with a smirk on his face because he saw steve's bright red face while blushing like a dorky.
"darling, I think everything went well" sharon said while they were dancing slow in the floor, as they scan the area
"yeah, I think - steve stops when he saw a black mask man aiming at the senator from the second floor. Steve quickly whispered to sharon and order her to go upstairs and silently take down the man, of course he'll do it instead of her, but he was too big to be silent. She nodded and walked away from steve, he glanced at the masked man and walks towards the senator. The man saw a guy walking toward the target, so it was now or never... *BANG !* a loud sound come from the balcony and the crowd began to panic and scream, running like crazy their way out of the gala, steve shocked and prayed to God that the shooter missed, and luckily he did. Cap saw the senator was scared lying in the ground while covering his head with his hands (like if that could help him ?), steve quickly ran forward and reach Wilshire
Steve got his arm and lift him like a piece of paper "come on, sir !" the senator was scared at first because he thought it was the shooter, but then saw it was captain america. Steve put his hand on the earpiece and said to shaorn
"did you take him down ?!" he said through his communication
"no captain ! I don't found him !" sharon yelled and search every room, but no luck. Steve growl and yells at his mic
" ¡ maybe he went to the roof ! I'll be there in a minute, just let me put the senator into safety !" he finish as leading the senator to the exit
"okay !" agent 13 continued her pursuit
Steve stopped suddenly and making traffic on the crazy crowd, remembering a thing, he turns himself and his eyes scans desperately into the crowd "stark !" steve panics when his eyes didn't saw his friend "stark !" he screamed more louder
"over here !" tony waved his arm highly so steve could see him through all the people screaming that pushes him to the exit
Steve sighed relief and make his way out too "senator Wilshire, you must get out of here !" the senator nodded. Once they were out the building, a car was already waiting for them "agent 13 ! Mission report !" steve said while opening the car's door
"the shooter pushed me and went downstairs !"
Steve narrow his brows and said "this car will get you to safe, senator" the man nods and quickly get into the car as steve order the driver go to SHIELD headquarters. Rogers watch the car go and then he search for tony. The billionaire man was running towards his car with his two bodyguards behind him, OK, the senator and tony were safe, now, the shooter. So he called sharon from his earpiece "agent 13 ! I'm on my way to help yo - - - ... steve words were cut by three shots on his chest, he looked down and saw specific that two bullets were near his heart and one was in his left shoulder, of course he had been shot before, but these bullets hurt like hell, the pain began running through his body and steve slowly turned his glance up and saw the mystery black masked man standing front of him, pointing straight to the captain, but suddenly, and for steve's surprise, the man burst into a run and disappeared...
Steve then returned to reality and heard a woman screaming "captain rogers !" it wassharon, she came out the building and running towards cap, steve begin to see everything blurry and in slow motion, as he started to tumble down, falling on his knees, then falling completely on the ground
"steve !" he heard another voice, now a male one 'tony' steve says in his mind
"red code ! Red code !" sharon said to her mic hidden behind her bracelet. She kneels besides the captain quickly taking her fingers on his pulse, a very very fast heartbeat
"hey hey, buddy im right here" tony says as he inspect steve's bullets wounds "you're going to be fine, okay ? Just saty with me... stark continued saying steve, tying to keep him awake, but he was not getting any luck, steve was choking with his own blood and tony quickly lifts his head "HE HAVE BEEN SHOT MORE THAN THREE TIMES ! WHY THESE ONES ARE HAVING THIS EFFECT ON HIM LIKE THIS !" tony screams at sharon and saw his friend begin closing his eyes slowly "hey ! Steve ! Keep awake bud !" tony said while giving steve slaps on his face. Tony saw he was not making steve react, cap was already fainted. Tony then says angrily to sharon "ARE SHIELD ALREADY COMING ?!"
Sharon nodded nervously "y-yes, mister stark, they'll be here in no time" like she said, SHIELD'S doctors were there very quickly, taking steve on a stretcher and attended him while putting him into the ambulance. Tony and Sharon watch closely and headed to the SHIELD headquarters.
Tony, clint and thor were in the waiting area while bruce was helping in the surgery trying to keep steve alive. The guys patiently waited for information of steve's health.
"does friend natasha already knows ?" thor said while taping his foot hard on the floor
Tony and clint turned their glance at the thunder man "damn it ! I totally forgot !" stark says to himself and then turns to see clint "you definitely should tell her"
"why me ?!" barton reproaches
"because you're her best friend !"
"so ?!" clint shrugged
Tony rolls his eyes "just call her, barton ! Her husband got shot ! She deserves to know !"
"okay okay !" clint said and took his phone out of his pocket, he searches for natasha's number and then sigh. Couple seconds later, natasha answers the phone "hello ? Nat ?" clint rubs his forehead with his hand
Hawkeye clearly could hear nat's growl "it better be important, Francis, because you just woke me fro -
"steve have been shot... And his health it's pretty bad... after saying that, clint heard a dead silence... a worrying silence...
