Warnings: Angst! Language! Canon Typical Violence! Infinity War Plot!

You were just feeding JJ lunch when you heard a pounding on the door. You frown watching as Steve got up from the table walking over to the apartment door. He had barely opened the door when a very pissed-off Nat stormed into your apartment.

"Whoa, what's wrong Nat?" Steve asks as she comes to a stop.

"Wanda missed her check-in again, a whole week late! and we're supposed to be stopping an arms deal but now we're a man short" Nat explains with an irritated huff.

"I'm sure she has a good reason, we'd know if she was in trouble," you say trying to placate her.

"What about the mission? I don't think me and Sam can handle it" Nat sighs shaking her head.

"Steve?" You ask looking over at him.

"Yeah I can help, and we can go check in on Wanda at the same time" Steve agrees nodding his head.

"Thanks, Steve I really appreciate it, it's a simple mission really we should be home by tomorrow morning" Nat sighs appreciatively.

"give me a few minutes to get changed and we'll head straight out" Steve nods heading off to change.

JJ then lets out an annoyed huff letting you know he wasn't impressed by the delay in food.

"Sorry bean" you smile feeding him another mouthful.

"How is he? Steve said he was a little ill last week?" Nat asks walking over.

"he's good now it was just the sniffles, only lasted a day" you sigh looking over at JJ, feeding him another mouthful.

"That's good, straight back to playing" Nat smiles as Steve steps out of the bedroom now in his suit.

"I'll go let Sam know and meet you by the jet," Nat says as she heads out.

Steve nods as he adjusts his sleeves, as he glances over at you he catches you looking at him with a concerned look on your face. He furrows his brows as he walks over putting a hand on your shoulder.

"hey is everything okay?" he asks gently making you sigh.

"yeah just got a funny feeling that's all, but I'm sure it's nothing to worry about," you say waving it off.

"as long as you're sure, I'll be back soon," Steve says bending down to kiss you.

"Yeah I'm sure, just stay safe out there, don't do anything stupid," you tell him taking his hand.

"of course, I have Sam and Nat to keep me in check" Steve smirks making you chuckle weakly.

"I mean it Steve" you sigh shaking your head.

"I will I promise, when you wake up tomorrow I'll be home back in one piece" Steve smiles reassuringly.

"see you later bean, be a good boy for mama," Steve says bending down to kiss the top of his head.

"Mama" JJ nods in agreement making you smile.

"see you tomorrow" Steve smiles kissing you once more.

"see you tomorrow" you smile keeping hold of his hand until he stepped away and it slipped from your grip.

A couple of hours later on the jet Steve, Nat and Sam were planning the details of the mission, looking down at the schematic of the ship they were going to intercept.

"The ship is departing Calais at 9 pm local time and due to arrive in Dover just after 10 pm, our best bet is to intercept it while it's crossing the channel, preferably on the midpoint so if there are any issues the UK and France will be too busy arguing over who should deal with it to actually deal with it," Nat says pointing at the map.
