Stealing Hearts

Chapter 7 - Subpoenaed

May 17th, 2010

It took me a year but I eventually decided to take up Phil on his offer to make me a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. With Tony actually pulling his weight I have more time off and the time not spent at Stark Tower or in the lab at home I spend at the S.H.I.E.L.D. base in D.C. While it is a lot of work I get to go on missions helping people, Tony doesn't know and I don't intend for him to find out until I decide to tell him. Ever since I got injured a year ago during the confrontation with Obadiah, Tony has been unbelievably overbearing and I hate it. When I am not home he constantly is checking up on me I am a 16 year old girl, not an almost 27 year old woman. Like right now I am about to head into a training session with my training buddy and new best friend Natasha and he keeps texting me incessantly.

I finally decide to mute my phone and throw it in my gym bag before marching into the gym now annoyed. "I'm assuming your brother is being his usual overly annoying, overbearing self," Natasha looks at me amused as she walks forward. Natasha is a total badass and smoking hot. I can only dream of looking as beautiful and becoming as great in combat as she is.

"Yes," I groan as I sit down to retie my shoelaces. "He thinks just because I got injured during the whole Obadiah debacle that he can control my every move." 

"You know what helps burn off some steam?"

"Sex?" I question jokingly to which Natasha cracks a smirk but no laugh. She never laughs at work, unless she is drunk or Clint hurt himself accidentally.

"Well that too, but I was talking about sparring." I smile as I stand up, nothing like getting all sweaty rolling around on the ground with one of the world's finest women.

"As much as I hate getting my ass beat I could never turn down such an offer from you," I throw Romanoff a wink as I skip over to the sparring matts in the middle of the room. Natasha follows me and now we are both playfully glaring at each other, daring the other to make the first move. I was about to pounce when a voice interupted me.

"Agent Romanoff! Agent Stark! I need to see you now!" Nick Fury's demanding voice booms, startling me causing me to faceplant since he interupted me mid-pounce.

"Ugh! My nose!" I groan as I roll over onto my back only to see Natasha standing over me laughing. She extends a hand to pull me up but I have a better idea as I yank her down and roll on top of her pining her to the matt. "Ha! I finally got you!" I cheer as I pump my fists letting go of her arms that I had pinned previously.

That was a bad mistake as I feel my self getting flipped over and suddenly Natasha is on top of me pining my hands above my head. "Sorry Сексуальная девушка but you need to do better than that," Natasha whispers making me blush wildly before she gets off me leaving me stunned. Thank god I learned Russian back when I was 13 because I got bored or I would have no clue what she meant.(Sexy girl)

I don't know how long I just lay there just staring at the ceiling, but it is long enough for Fury to come back annoyed. "Stark! Hurry your ass up! I don't have all day!" Fury shouts shaking me from my thoughts and sending me scrambling to my feet and running after him.

Natasha and I find ourselves seated in Fury's office. I must say the man has no taste for interior design everything is so gray and sterile looking. "Romanoff I have a new assignment for you, one that Stark here is going to help you with." I look at Fury curiously, what the hell does Natasha need my help for?

"And what is that?" I question leaning forward in anticipation.

"If you would shut up you would already know," Fury snaps causing me to frown. Geez Pirate, no need to be so rude. "Romanoff you are going to be going undercover as Tony Stark's assisstant. According to Agent Stark her brother has been acting off as of late and I need to know why." Oh, so that's why he needs my help. I need to get Natasha that open job as Tony's assisstant since I stole his after Pepper got married and moved away.
