I'll Always Love You - A Romanogers Fanfic

"What have we got?" Natasha asks in her earpiece as her and Steve go to the car.
"We have clues on the small bases in Denmark, Poland, Germany and Croatia, still no lead on the big one though"  Agent Hill answers.
"Anything here in Spain?" Steve asks in his own earpiece.
"No, that was just a group of loose agents as a trap, we're flying to Germany as soon as you two are here" Agent Carter says.

Steve turns on the engine and they drive towards their destination.
"You nee-.." Steve says trying to ask about Natasha's brainwashing again.
"No" Natasha says cutting him off for the seventh time today.
"But I just want to make sure you're okay" Steve says and looks at her concerned.
"Thank you Steve, but asking about it makes it worse" Natasha says and looks out the window.

They drive the rest of the way in silence and park by the Quinjet that has landed in a field far away from everything.
"Captain Rogers, Agent Romanoff" Hill greets them with a nod.
"Agent Hill" Steve nods back as they grab their stuff from the car before going to inside the jet and taking off.

NATASHA'S POV

The flight to Germany is very short in the Quinjet and we land after less than an hour.
"Check in at the Hotel, and then go here" Agent Carter says and points at a map over Bremen.
"It's a big corporate building, a bank if I'm not wrong" Agent Hill says.
"Why are they in a bank?" I ask.
"We don't know, maybe they think it's the last place we'd look" Hill answers.
"Do we know where in the building?" Steve asks.
"11th floor is under construction, if it's not there it's in the basement" Agent Carter says.
"You can go in undercover, according to Fury's file everyone who know your true identities, are US based at the moment" Hill says and looks in a file.
"That looks about right" Steve says after double checking.
"What do you want us to do today?" I ask.
Agent Carter checks her wristwatch.
"2 pm" she mumbles. "Go see if you can find out where they are located, and then figure out how to get in in a believable way" she says and looks at both Steve and me, but a little longer at Steve.
"We will" Steve says and we go to our new car.

"Did you see how Agent Carter looked at you?" I ask Steve excitedly when we're on the road.
"No did she look at me in any specific way?" He asks confused.
"Yes she did" I say, proud that my wingman skills have finally paid off after almost two years.

STEVE'S POV

We park the car close to the bank to see if anything happens.
After almost an hour both of us are almost asleep when Nat suddenly sits up.
"There" she points. "They're definitely not bankers, they're acting too nervous" she says.
"And you're sure?" I ask even though I never doubt her judgment.
"Positive" she says and points again at some boxes with the HYDRA logo printed on.
"So now it's just figuring out where exactly they are" I say.
"Yes, come on" she says and gets out of the car after grabbing two of her guns and stuffing them under her jacket.
"I can't think of what to say, I'm more the fighting type of guy" I whisper as we walk towards them.
"I know, that's why I do the talking and you do the punching if necessary" she whispers.
"Can't we just sneak in?" I ask.
"Obviously we're gonna do that if we get absolutely nothing out of talking to them" she whispers as if it's the most obvious thing ever.

"I have a feeling it's in the basement" she says when we didn't get much out of talking to them.
"I actually did too" I say.
"We're sneaking in" she says.

They exit the building after finding the HYDRA base in the basement as they thought.
"Agent Hill, Agent Carter come in" Natasha says in her earpiece.
"What did you find, Agent Romanoff?" Agent Carter answers.
"It's in the basement. Captain Rogers and I were there. We found a more effective way to enter and exit" she says.
"Good job, you're going in tonight. 2 am. The bank is under 24 hour surveillance, but you'll have an easier time getting around security at night, and if everything goes right you'll be in and out in an hour" Agent Hill says.
"The base is that small?" Steve asks.
"It's that small. We'll send blueprints and further information to Agent Romanoff's laptop" Agent Carter says before all lines disconnects.
