"You did what?"

Steve looked at his best friend. He couldn't believe what he had just heard.

"I don't know why I said that either. I was...angry. She slept with Sam so I just said, I didn't want to be friends with her anymore."

"You're such an idiot. You like her. Why would you say something like that?"

"I just said, I don't know. It was an overreaction. I couldn't help myself when I saw her."

"You need to talk to her."

"And make it even worse? No, I don't think so. She's mad at me too. I'm not gonna admit I like her."

"I'm sure she likes you, too."

"Then why is she acting like that?"

"Maybe 'cause you're acting weird too. Or she has just as good a reason as you do. Although I think she has better reasons."

"Whatever. I'm not doing anything."

"Unless you're forced to."

"What?"

"Oh, nothing."

"Steve."

"All right, listen..."

"Pia, wake up."

Pia opened her eyes and saw Nat standing in front of her.

"Hey, what time is it?"

"It's 8:30 already."

"Already? Do you know how early that is?"

Nat giggled. "Come on. Get up. You got a job."

"You know, it would be nice if you would tell me the day before that we have a mission."

"I think in this case it's better that you didn't know before."

That sentence scared Pia a little. "Nat, what do you mean?"

"Well...You'll go on a mission...just with Bucky."

"Yeah sure."

Pia smiled but Nat's face stayed serious.

"No...tell me you're joking. Isn't there anyone else who can do that?"

"I'm afraid not. I'm busy and Wanda's not here."

"And it has to be a female agent?"

"Yes."

"Fine, if you don't have time...I'm going to change."

"Wait. It's an undercover mission."

"Okay, then what should I wear?"
