How'd you get this number?

6 - And your friend ✨Steve✨

__Steve__

"Jarvis," I call out at the A.I

"Yes Captain,"

"Can you find out who Nat and Clint are texting?"

"I'm afraid not Captain. It breaches my privacy code."

"Don't worry about it then. Thank you Jarvis."

"My pleasure sir."

I sigh and sit down in the lounge room. I try and think about other alternatives. I could try and steal one of their phones? No, who in their right mind would do that to get a phone number. I could try and trick them into telling me. No, that will never work. Im not Natasha.

I'm about to give up when I see Clint enter the room.

"Hey Clint."

"Morning Cap."

"I have a question for you,"

"Shoot."

"Who are you and Nat texting?" As soon as I ask he goes to leave but I get up and stand in his way.

"Sorry Cap, I can't give that information."

"You will, that's an order."

"Huh, too bad I don't work for you." Clint goes to leave again but I stop him.

"Please can you just tell me. It's killing me." I resort to begging.

"Sorry Steve, but I can't tell you that we're texting Peter." Clint freezes.

"Who's Peter?"

"Shit Nat's going to kill me! Peter's rubbing off on me too much."

"Who's Peter?" I ask once more. Clint sighs

"It's easier if I just show you." Clint pulls out my phone and I pull out mine. He texts me Peters number.

Thanks kid but I think Red will murder Caw Caw if she found out he told me about you.

Once I come up with a believable story to tell Red how I got ur number.

Peter
...

Steve
Positive.

Peter

I'm going to say that I saw your number
While walking past her when she was on her phone.
