Eleanor was about ready to throttle Natasha. Her stomach churned as she completed the first part of her fall, wanting to be literally anywhere else at this point in time. She had to remain the slightest bit thankful to her though, for the braided hair. It was keeping it out of her face nicely for this activity.

Luckily, due to it being a short descent, she had to deploy the chute quite early on, so the rest of the journey was slow and slightly more calming. Other than the fact that she was having to carefully manoeuvre so that she didn't crash land into the ocean. 110% of her attention was on carefully moving the strings attached to the chute to make sure that she lived to see another day.

A few metres before she would have landed, Rumlow appeared beside her, and they gave each other a small nod of acknowledgement as they neared the boat. There were unconscious bodies strewn all over the place, the Captain had clearly been busy.

He knocked someone out with his shield as another pirate came up behind him with a gun pointed at him, so Rumlow promptly shot the pirate with a gun equipped with a silencer to not draw attention. They landed seconds later near the Captain, "Thanks".

"Yeah. You seemed pretty helpless without me", Rumlow joked.

Eleanor shook her head as she started removing the parachute attached to her, thankful to be standing and not falling, before walking towards the other side of the ship with Rogers.

Natasha's landing was very smooth, she landed alongside Eleanor and slipped the parachute off whilst walking. Eleanor gawked at her as she did this. Her girlfriend was very cool.

"What about the nurse that lives across the hall from you? She seems kind of nice", Nat started up again. 

"I dunno, going for a neighbour can be kinda risky", Eleanor smirked.

"Secure the engine room, then find me a date", Steve continued walking to his destination as Nat and Eleanor turned towards the metal barrier to reach another part of the boat.

"I'm multi-tasking!", Nat half-shouted before swinging herself over the bars and onto the deck below, Eleanor hot on her tail. 

They landed on the floor quite harshly as it wasn't the smallest of drops, and continued on to reach the door that would take them onto the internal lower decks of the boat. "What do you mean don't go for neighbours? We were neighbours once", Nat faked offence and shoved Eleanor's arm to make her stumble slightly.

"Yeah, and look where that got me! Being shoved on a boat and off of a jet!", she joked whilst rubbing her arm. Nat laughed and rolled her eyes as they reached the door. She opened it and gestured for Eleanor to walk inside before her.

"Ladies first", she smirked.
"Well, what a gentleman you are", Eleanor giggled before the two went quiet now that they were entering the boat. 

Eleanor slid down the ladder first, Natasha in fast pursuit. When they reached the first landing, one of the pirates was directly in front of them, but was facing away from them and using the wall phone. They were distracted, perfect. 

Eleanor quietly slipped past Nat to get onto the right-hand side of the man, and he somehow didn't notice her. Nat sent a wink her way as the guy hung the phone back up, and then turned to Nat. He ended up turning in the opposite direction that Eleanor was standing, so she was still undetected. He clearly saw Natasha though, she was standing by the ladder with one hand holding onto a rung so she was quite hard to miss.

"Hey, Sailor", she spoke in a flirtatious tone whilst smirking. He was obviously confused at what was happening and taken a bit off guard by the flirting. So, Eleanor took this opportunity to kick the side of his knee, and a crunch sound was apparent, making him scream out in pain and drop to the floor, he turned to face her with even more confusion on his face, because to him, she had appeared out of thin air.
