I'll Always Love You - A Romanogers Fanfic

5

Steve and Natasha arrive at the restaurant. A very upscale one.
They've parked the car a couple of blocks away and are now entering the nice restaurant.

STEVE'S POV

Natasha and I are holding hands as we approach the man responsible for reservations.
"Hello, I have a reservation under David Rushman for two at 8" I say politely.
He checks his screen in front of him and gestures with his hand to the dining area. "Follow me"

We sit down, and as soon as we're alone by the table we start looking around.
"Anyone looking suspicious?" I whisper to Natasha over the table.
She shakes her head. "Not yet"

A waiter comes over as we're still busy looking around.
"What can I get you to drink?" He asks politely.
"A bottle of wine please" Natasha says sweetly.
"Absolutely, what kind..we have some good mer-" he says when I interrupts him, still looking around.
"Whatever's cheapest" I say distantly.
He looks at me a bit insulted and then at Natasha.
"I'm so lucky" she says sarcastically and smiles at him, and I finally look back.
"Cheapest wine coming up" the waiter says hesitantly and looks at Natasha with sympathy on his face.

"What is the matter with you?" She asks harshly when the waiter has left our table.
"I think I've spotted him" I say between my teeth and discreetly looks at a guy sitting on the other side of the room, close to the door, Natasha follows my look.
"That was fast, but yes, that's him, let's go" she says and we stand up just as our waiter comes back with a bottle of wine.
"Your wine?" He asks.
Natasha smacks her lips. "You know what sweetheart?" she improvises. "I can't stand this jerk anymore" she says and gestures at me. "So I'm leaving but he's my ride so I need him" she says and pulls me in the arm, away from the table, leaving the waiter with a confused look on his face.

We pass by our suspect's table and Natasha 'accidentally' pushes a glass of wine causing it to fall over. She lets go of my arm to wipe it up.
"Gosh, I'm so sorry, I'm such a clown" she says, not flirtatiously, just innocently.
"That's quite alright honey" a man says with a French accent and puts his hand on her arm. She grabs it tightly, making it impossible for him to get her to let go.
"Timothée Leon" she says convinced as the man reaches for her to choke her, but she grabs his other arm before he gets to her.
I do a tight grip in the husband's jacket as she forces Leon to stand up.

I force him up standing and discreetly but firmly yanks him out of the dining area.
We get out the French doors and there's yelling starting, and I know we've awoken the agents.
I hear guns loading and I pass the guy to Natasha that easily carries two men in one of her fancy ways.

I grab my gun I got from Natasha from my pocket.
People everywhere starts screaming when fifteen giant men with big guns comes out of the corners all around the restaurant.
"Stay where you are, all of you, if you don't want to get hurt" I yell to the crowd of civilians that's starting to run around panicked.
"Backup, take care of the big guys, we'll take care of the rest" I say into the earpiece before firing a single shot that seems to confuse the apparently stupid HYDRA agents, and I know that we'll easily handle them with two S.H.I.E.L.D agents. "Two agents, that's enough" I say into the earpiece before I turn around.
I take my chance and run after Natasha that's already left the building by a back door with the two guys.

I find them in an alley close to where our car is parked.
Natasha has tied them up and taken every weapon she could find on them, which contains of a gun, a taser and a knife. She's pointing at the two guys with a gun in each hand.
The husband is crying and looking scared at Leon.

NATASHA'S POV

"Take care of crybaby for me would you?" I ask Steve referring to the husband with the ugly cry.
Steve grabs the guys tie and stuff it in his mouth.

I turn back to Leon.
"Tell me about your job" I say, still confident that this is our guy.

After being fed a bunch of lies I connect the pieces in my head. He's easy to see through and I, much to my liking, didn't have to hurt him.
Steve seems to have figured it out as well, and he looks at him without hiding his disgust.

"We got him" Steve says in his earpiece.
"Great, meet us where we landed, coordinates in your GPS" Hill says on both our lines.

Steve drag Leon and I take care of the husband before catching up.
Leon spoke in codes, and his husband seems like he doesn't  understand shit. And I trust my instincts on this.
"Don't tell anybody about this, it didn't happen. If you tell I can easily find you. I'm sorry you had to live a lie" I say and hug him, placing a tracker on his neck, that I know he won't notice, before I let him go, and catches up to Steve.

They park on the empty parking lot where they landed earlier in the day.
Steve yanks Leon out of the car and two S.H.I.E.L.D agents grab him by the arms, releasing him from Steve's grip and takes him inside the Quinjet, tie him to a seat and tranquilizes him.

Hill comes outside in the chilly fall evening.
"Switzerland in one night, you two never seem to disappoint" she says. "But you're far from finished. We leave for Spain tomorrow evening, because there's some loose ends here for you to take care of tomorrow.
We managed to find their cars, and we've put trackers on them. The agents that fled the building have been tracked too, with the trackers that search for heat and then bind themselves to the object, so if everything went by the plan, you can find them from your laptop. Get some sleep. You're not done" she says and go back into the Quinjet that closes and takes off into the night.
