Dancing Under The Stars

11

Natasha was terrified, terrified of her feelings, no doubt. She managed to keep check of her tears. She really needed a break. All of her hard work of brushing off the feelings for Steve, failed. She wasn't being insecure, she was actually afraid. "I've forgiven myself, I've forgiven myself..." She kept chanting to herself restlessly. She was now currently in her old apartment, she was curled up in her sofa, staring into space. 

She can't be in love with America's most righteous man, she can't. She was the Russian Spy. Okay, the ex- deadliest Russian spy. And the American soldier. She need time to get over her stupid crush, after that, she can work with him again.

Natasha buried her face in her hands, stupid, stupid feelings. She remembered her first love, well, part of it. Part of her memory was wiped right after that, they only left the painful goodbye in her brain. Then Bruce, he left her. And she hated every moment of it. Crying in the middle of the night over a man who abandoned her. She was weak, she is weak.

Now, she was frustrated over her complicated feelings toward Steve. She was stupid. Who the hell will support a relationship of the soldier and the spy? Yeah, right the soldier and the spy. "The soldier and the spy." She chuckled bitterly and closed her eyes.

Steve was woke up by Sharon shaking his shoulders. "We need to go Captain Rogers." She said politely. Steve nodded, waking himself up from his slumber. He blinked and looked at Sharon, "Please tell me you do remember the plan?" He asked. Sharon nodded and gave him a reassuring smile. 

"I'll be there in 5, give me a sec." Steve told her, Sharon smiled and went away to make sure the other agents are on task. He sighed, Peggy was his first love, he'll never forget that, but Natasha, he felt a spark between them, a chemistry, nobody could ever take that away from them. But yet, does she feel the same? She ran away for unknown reasons, and here he was, frustrated and confused about the cause.

Steve looked over towards the SHEILD agents. They all have their parachute on. "Locate the HYDRA serum, or whatever Nick needs, rendezvous back to the plain, just north west of the abandoned HYDRA base. Wait for my instructions before you do anything, got it?" The agents all nodded and jumped out of the Quinjet one by one. Sharon stopped before jumping down. She looked at Steve, "You sure you don't need a parachute?" Steve smiled at her before shaking his head briefly and motion for Sharon to jump first. 

The abandoned HYDRA base indeed looks like abandoned. It's a café on the surface, but in the underground was a HYDRA base. The café was burned into pieces. Rubble, destruction, all broken. 

"Stay alert Agents." Steve alerted them. 'Roger that, Captain Rogers' He imagined Natasha say. He raised his shield and stepped forward. "Team A, go left, Agent Carter, lead them. Team B follow me." Sharon frowned, but followed his orders.

He sighed and continued to lead Team B forward.
