Hunted
Natasha stole a car on the parking lot but let Steve drive. Costia gave Natasha one of the hoodies Steve had given her before at his apartment.
Steve wore head and glasses which surprisingly made him look a lot less than himself.
The three entered a mall, Costia told them that she'd need a computer to check what was on the USB-stick.
"First rule of going on the run is don't run, walk." Natasha said as the three were walking towards the closest apple store. The women on either side of the Captain.
"If I run in these shoes, they're gonna fall off." Steve said as he looked around, very obvious. Costia rolled her eyes at him, "Stop looking around like you're searching for a lost child." Costia said dry when Steve looked around again.
The three walked in the apple store and placed themselves infront of a laptop that was a little away from the entrance of the store.
"The drive has a Level Six homing program, so as soon as we boot it up Shiled will know exactly where we are." Costia said as she typed on the computer, Steve still didn't stop looking around like an idiot.
"How much time will we have?" Steve asked. "About nine minutes from-"
"Now." Natasha said as she put in the stick.
Costia quickly started to unencrypt the data on the stick.
"Fury was right about that ship." Natasha said as she looked at the screen. "Somebbody is trying to hide something." Costia said as she struggled with her task.
"This drive is protected by some sort of AI. It keeps rewriting itself to counter my commands." Costia complained. "Can you override it?" Natasha asked as she followed Costias actions.
"The person who developed this is a tiny little bit better at this than me." Costia said as she turned her head a little to the redhead, her eyes never left the screen though. Natasha smiled at her, probably the first time she did since Furys death.
"I'm gonna try to run a tracer," Costia explained what she was doing, "This is a program that Shield developed to track hostile malware," Costia explained as a new window popped up, "so if we can't read the file, maybe we can find out where it came from."
A man approached them, he had long blonde hair and a beard, "Can I help you guys with anything?" he asked.
"Oh, no. My sister was just helping me and my fiance with some honeymoon destinations." Natasha quickly said before Steve could speak up. She clinged on Steves shoulders and smiled sweetly. Costia gave her an annoyed glare.
'Sister?! Really?' she mouthed at Natasha before the redhead turned back around.
"Right." Steve smiled, "We're getting married."
"Congratulations." the worker said, "Where are you guys thinking about going?" he asked as he squinted towrads the laptop Costia was typing on. "New Jersey." Steve said as he looked at the screen too, New Jersey just popped up.
"Huh." the worker said, "Interesting."
He kept starring at Steve, making him uneasy. "I have the exact same glasses." he smiled. Steve let out a relieved sigh while Natasha finally let go of Steves shoulder, "Wow, you two are practically twins." she said ironically.
"Yeah." the guy laughed, "I wish. Specimen. If you guys need anything, I've been Aaron." he said before he walked away. "Thank you." Steve nodded.
"You said nine minutes. Come on." Steve said as he looked at the screen, same as Natasha and Costia. Not that it would mean anything to him.
