"So, you've experienced this sort of thing before?" Fury asked as he walked up to them as they stood at his grave.
"You get used to it," Steve told him.
"Being dead's not all that bad. You get a pretty stone with your name on it," Annabelle added, making Sam give a smile.
"We've been data mining Hydra's files," Fury told them. "Looks like a lot of rats didn't go down with the ship. I'm headed to Europe tonight. Wanted to ask if you'd come," he looked between the Rogers'.
"There's something we gotta do first," Steve told him.
"How about you, Wilson? Could use a man with your abilities."
"I'm more of a soldier than a spy."
"Alright then," Fury sighed, shaking Sam's hand before Steve's and Annabelle's. "Anybody asks for me, tell them they can find me right here."
"Just one more benefit. No one you don't want to deal with."
"Might be the best one yet," he told her and she smiled as he walked away.
"You should be honored," Natasha told them as she walked up. "That's about as close as he gets to saying thank you."
"Not going with him?" Steve asked knowingly.
"No."
"Not saying here?"
"Nah. I blew all my covers. I got to figure out a new one."
"That might take a while."
"I'm counting on it." She paused. "That thing you asked for, I called in a few favors from Kiev," she handed him a file. "Will you do me a favor? Call that nurse."
"She's not a nurse," Steve smiled as he thought of Sharon.
"And you're not a SHIELD agent."
"So what is going on between them?" Sam whispered as he and Annabelle stood a few feet back from Steve and Natasha.
"I have no idea. Friends, possibly lovers, each others' cover story... It's too hard to keep up." They looked back over to see Natasha give Steve a small kiss on the cheek, smiling and giving a nod to Annabelle who did the same.
Natasha turned and started to walk away before stopping. "Be careful, Steve. You might not want to pull on that thread." She walked away and he opened the file, Sam and Annabelle coming up and looking at it too, a picture of Bucky from the war and another as the Winter Soldier on ice.
"You're going after him."
"You don't have to come with us," he told him.
"I know." There was a pause. "When do we start?"
