Be Still My Heart

You Upset the Kid

Y/N POV-

"Are we there yet?" Nat leans her head forward between the front seats with a smirk covering her face. I glance over my shoulder to look at her briefly. Her childlike behavior has Steve laughing to himself.

Wanda opens up my phone to show her Maps. "Twenty more minutes to the hotel." We made pretty good time going around Philadelphia instead of cutting through it.

It has been years since I lived in Virginia. I graduated from a high school in Burke, Virginia as one of my nine. I loved the area. I was sad to leave there. I'll have to drive Wanda around later. I think she'd like to see some of where I grew up.

We pull up to the hotel and Wanda climbs out of the car slowly to go get us checked in. She stands there for a moment getting her legs back under her before she stiffly walks inside.

Steve pulls out all of our bags from the car and hands me mine. I grab an old grey baseball cap out of my bag and slip it on as we walk towards the building to try and hide my face some.

Wanda is waiting for us inside with four keys in her hand. "Nat and Steve," she hands them each a key before handing me mine. "We have conjoined rooms with a door dividing them on the fourth floor." We all pile into the elevator to go up to our rooms.

I scan open our door as Nat scans Steve and her into their room. "Wanda, will you unlock the door between our rooms?" She walks over and undoes the dead bolt on our side. I hear the click of it being undone on the other side too.

I glance around the room. There is one king bed in the middle of the room with a small kitchen and living space. The bathroom includes a walk in shower and sink. This is nice. Stark picked wisely.

Wanda and I set our bags down then walk into Steve and Nat's room. They also have a king. Oh, Stark. Nat and Steve are each digging around in their bags ignoring the fact they have to share a bed. I look over at Wanda and we share a similar look. This should be interesting.

I pull out the folder that Stark compiled on Hayde and type the address of his house into my phone. "Wow, this is actually over by my old house." Wanda looks over my shoulder at the address and my phone. "It looks like it is right outside the city."

Nat finishes digging around her bag and pulls out her earpiece, a hat, and a book. "What's the move?" I show her the directions to the house and then Steve.

"Why don't we go recon the area of the neighborhood and house? Wanda and I can drive around. You and Steve can take a short walk down the street in front of his house. We can cover all of our bases. I vote for dinner after then call it a night. We should probably take turns tailing him starting tomorrow to figure out his routine."

Everyone is in agreeance of the plan as we walk back out to the car with our "disguises" in hand. "Any good places to eat around here for us with enough cover to not be out in the open?" Steve pulls his hat on and throws his hood up as we are driving to the house.

"I can think of a couple, what are we thinking food wise?" I turn to look at Wanda first who stays silent. Nat shrugs her shoulders in the back seat as she zips up her jacket. "Did you have a favorite?"

A memory flashes in my head of eating at a small hole in the wall place that served amazing Chinese food just down the road from my old high school. I wonder if it is still there. It used to be my Dad's favorite. I can feel lump forming in my throat thinking about him. I cough to clear my throat before speaking, "I can look when we get closer to see if they are still open."

I pull up to the end of the block and let Steve and Nat out of the car. Wanda rolls her window down before we drive away so I can speak to them. "And guys? Sell that you are a couple. It is more believable and people won't think twice about you walking the street."
