A Romanogers Story

Chapter 3

"All we can tell you, is that we leave tonight at exactly 21:00." Even though she was telling all the Avengers, Natasha watched for Clint's reaction. It was as she thought. An angry look at Steve.

The time came for the mission. Steve went to Natasha's room to help carry her luggage. He knocked on the door and opened it to see her putting back a t-shirt in the wardrobe.

"Is it okay for me to take your luggage?" Steve asked.
"Uh... yeah sure." She looked at Steve, wondering when he entered.

Steve got in the lift, followed by Natasha, and they both went down to the ground floor. The lift doors opened and they went outside into the cool, crisp air. It was a clear sky and the sun set looked beautiful. There was a shiny yellow cab already there waiting for them. They got in with the luggage in the boot and they were off to the airport.

Steve and Natasha exited the newly polished yellow cab and entered the airport. Nick gave Natasha an engagement ring. This was to make it look convincing. That's what Nick told them anyway. Their mission location was apparently guarded with strong guards with guns. They would supposedly shoot at anybody not in uniform. That was the reason they were not allowed their combat suits. Basically everyone in Germany was against The Avengers and would happily report to the police for a reward.

They were at security, going through a metal detector, when the alarm went off at Steve. It was his belt. He took it off and walked back through. When it was Natasha's go, the metal detector went off again. It was the engagement ring. She took it off and was stopped by a man who was staff. He walked up to her and said, "Arms and legs spread out please, ma'am." Natasha did as she was told and the man started feeling for drugs. He checked for a long time, going over places that he had checked before. Steve noticed this and started to get impatient, "Can we hurry up, please?" Steve asked.
The man finished up and let them through. They collected their belongings and moved on.

At the entrance to the plane, Steve and Natasha had to show their passport and plane ticket. Nick had given them fake passports, otherwise they would have been found out.

One of the staff seemed quite nice. She looked at their passports then looked back up to them. She said, "Good evening, Jonathan and Beccy. Are you traveling for anything nice?" Steve forgot that he was 'Jonathan', but luckily Natasha improvised and spoke with a smile, "We are acctually on a holiday before we get married." She sounded so excited.

"Congratulations and enjoy your holiday. The weather is supposed to be great, lucky for you two!"

Steve and Natasha gave her a warming smile, boarded the plane and went to their seats.

"Do you want to sit at the window?" Steve asked Natasha.

"I don't mind, honey" she replied with a soft smile.

"You can sit by the window." Steve smiled back to her.

Natasha took her seat and overheard people in the row behind them saying how much of a good couple they were. She kept her eyes on Steve and watched him take his seat beside her.

Steve and Natasha chatted for a while and relaxed in each other's company. They soon fell asleep and Natasha leaned her head on Steve's shoulder.

Steve woke up when he heard an announcement made by the pilot, informing the passengers that the plane was landing. After a few more minutes in the air, the plane landed with a bump, waking Natasha up. Steve gently placed his hand behind her head, avoiding her from hitting her head on her seat.

"Jonathan and Beccy" got off the plane, into the airport. They were about to leave, when suddenly a familiar voice called out. "Jonathan? Beccy?" Steve and Nat looked over and approched this man. It was a taxi driver, who was actually a S.H.I.E.L.D agent.
