The Unlucky Lucky Ones

06 || Flashback

           Around 4 years ago..
After exiting the elevator I make my way to my apartment door that reads '007'. I grab my key and unlock my door after seeing some mud foot prints that are most definitely not mine.

  Looks like I have a guest tonight.

I push through the door and set my purse and keys down on the counter, "Which stalker is it this time?"

   "I picked up some pizza!"

The voice came from the living room and then a 5'5 red head walks into my kitchen to greet my presence.

"Oh thanks so much, I forgot to set out some chicken to cook for dinner tonight."I say while grabbing the nice hot pizza from her.

"Anytime"

"So what brings you to my apartment this time?" I had opened the pizza box and taken a slice of the cheesy goodness.

The redhead, Natasha, also takes a slice and replies," Fury has another mission for you. The meeting is tomorrow at 7am, don't be late."

"You could've just texted or called saying 'Be at the Avengers Compound, 7am sharp' or did you just want to break into my apartment for the 100th time."

"It's not breaking in if you gave me a key. Plus, the guys were demolishing Steve in Mario Kart, again."

Chuckling I ask why she didn't stay to watch it and to which she simply said Stark was getting too cocky and that there was too much testosterone.

"Poor Steve, he doesn't know how phones work, let alone the fancy controllers Tony has." I say almost mockingly.

Nat grabbing another slice of pizza quickly says,"Yeah, for being Earths Mightiest Hero's they are probably- no definitely- the most childish adults I've ever met."

"You could say that again. Anyways will you be staying long or do you have somewhere to be?"

"I've got somewhere to be, but I'll see you at meeting tomorrow. Bye Honey."

Laughing I say, "Sorry hun, I don't swing that way but I'm sure Steve would be more than willing to-"

"Don't you even think about finishing that sentence." I think I saw her blush, but it was gone so quickly and was so faint I think I imagined it.

"You're delusional." And with that she leaves my apartment, leaving me to myself.

The next morning

I wake up to my phone alarm blaring in my right ear. With an exhausted groan I turn off my 5:30am alarm, sit up, and regret my life choices because I'm way too tired for this.

I managed to get out of the door by 6:30 and grab a coffee from my local coffee shop.

By the time I made it into the meeting room my coffee cup was almost completely empty. Taking a seat I look at my watch, 6:57 AM.

Oh good I wasn't late this time.

I greeted a nervous but awake Bruce Banner to my left and the coffee addiction of a father on my right. Both had just said morning and looked like they wanted to be anywhere but here.

I heard Tony mumble to himself,"Is there a reason why we have meetings so fucking early in the morning."

I, mocking Cap, say, "Language Stark." I just got a glare in response from the sleep deprived genius.

About 5 minutes later Nick Fury walks in and takes his time looking at all of us.

"Good to see you again Agent 007, I hope you are able to help us with this upcoming mission without too much of a hassle."

"Of course, happy to help sir." It may be early as hell but I still know better to respect my boss unlike some people.

"Great. Now as everyone knows an old organization from World War 2, thought to be taken down, has made an appearance and they are more powerful now than they were in the 40s. We need to make a plan of attack and need to be wise and clear on how we are gonna deal with this threat....."
