**TONY POV**

I took the info I got from Sam about where Steve went. I knew he would be with Barnes. I also knew they were going after Baron Zemo. I wasn't sure what the full story was but I figured if I could just get there while they were there we could all talk.

I never trusted Barnes but he was Steve's friend and I always wanted to trust Steve, although at this point in time I felt like his judgement was clouded.

But mine was as well. Romy...Romy was in the Raft prison. I needed to get to the bottom of that. I knew she wouldn't just leave us like everyone stated she did. She wouldn't have left Steve. They would become friends, even more so if Steve had his way.

Once I arrived where Steve and Barnes were, I walked in. I was met with Barnes pointing a gun at me and Steve taking a defensive stance. I sighed and took off the ironman helmet.

"Listen, Ross doesn't know I'm here but I'm here to help you out." I said and Steve seemed to relax. Finally he got Bucky to put the gun down he was pointing at me. I then sighed and looked at Steve.

"Listen, I have to tell you something about someone I saw at the raft." I said.

"Who?" Steve asked.

"Romy."

"Romy?" Steve asked and I could tell his heart sank.

"She insists she was set up and innocent. I listened to her interrogation on the way here. I think she was set up Steve but she didn't have a say or lawyer. Ross got what he wanted, took her and imprisoned her. She is stuck there Steve. She wanted me to tell you she still cares about you and to run, not end up there." I explained and Steve just shook his head.

"So she didn't just up and leave...?" Steve questioned.

"No, Ross arrested her." I explained.

"Well I can't think about that now. I will deal with it when we are done here." Steve said and I nodded. We continued further into the bunker to get done what we needed to do.

**ROMY POV**

It had been a few days since Tony came and I was hoping he found Steve, and I was hoping he was safe and on the run.

"Ro?" I heard someone call my name and I sighed.

"Yeah Scott?" I asked.

"How do we get something to read? Like a book or something?" Scott asked and I groaned.

"You have to be nice to the guard." I said and Scott groaned as the guard on duty passed my cell and looked at me. "He is as cuddly as a teddy bear." I said, he rolled his eyes and kept walking.

The guard was done with his check and then left. I was pacing in my cell, just thinking of the last time I saw Steve.

**FLASHBACK**

I was sitting in my office at the compound when Steve walked in and I smiled.

"Captain Rogers, what can I do for you?" I asked and he smiled but I could see the slight blush on his cheeks.

"I was told to come see you by Tony. Said you had some files for me..." Steve said and I nodded.

"Oh yeah, give me one minute. I put them here somewhere..." I said and started looking through the files on my desk. I finally found what he needed and I handed it to Steve. Has he grabbed the files his fingers touched mine and I felt a jolt of electricity. I knew Steve felt it too and I smiled. Steve just stood there.

"Anything else I can do for you Captain?" I asked and he slightly shook his head.

"Uh, no thank you." Steve said.

"Have a great day Captain." I said and he smiled.

"Romy...can I-..." Steve started to say until Sam came walking in.

"Steve we have to go." Sam said and I sighed. I knew what he was about to ask me and I sighed.

"Steve...before you go...." I said and he looked at me. "I have tomorrow after work free. Come and find me and we can talk." I said and he nodded.

"It's a date." Steve said, smiled his million-dollar smile and walked out. I felt the butterflies take flight in my stomach excited that this was really happening.

**END FLASHBACK**

It never got to happen, that night was when Ross arrested me, and I had been here ever since. I never got a chance to tell him or anyone anything.

I just laid on my bed and closed my eyes letting the tears fall. I would never hear from Steve Rogers again but I could take comfort in the fact knowing he was safe. I wasn't sure what was going on but I woke up to a lot of gunfire and guards running and yelling.

"Sam?!" I asked as I jumped up from the bed in fear. I didn't see anyone coming in after I heard the main door open. I just figured it was a glitch with the system or someone was coming so I sat back on my bed and just looked at the floor. I then heard buzzing and I looked to see Sam and Clints' cells open, then Wanda and Scotts. Then someone was approaching my cell. When I saw his face he looked like he seemed to relaxing seeing me.

"Romy..." Steve said and I smiled.

"Hey Cap." I said and he sighed.

"Let me get you out." Steve said and I shook my head.

"Steve, you all need to get out of here before Ross gets here, just go. I'm fine." I said and Steve shook his head.

"No, I'm not leaving you. Where is your cell door button?" Steve asked and I sighed.

"STEVE JUST GO!" I yelled.

"I'M NOT GOING WITHOUT YOU!" Steve yelled back and groaned. I heard the buzzer sound and my door opened. I looked at Sam and he was hitting a button. I walked out and looked at Steve. He wrapped me in a hug. Once we pulled apart from each other he cupped my face.

"Come with us. We have to run but come with us." Steve said and I sighed.

"I would hold you back. I can't fight like you guys can." I said and he shook his head.

"I don't care about that Romy. I want to be with you, I want you safe." Steve said. I smiled.

"About time you say something Rogers." I said. He chuckled, took my hand and we all quickly left the raft on the jet Steve had obviously stolen.

After getting on the jet I helped Wanda get her collar off and we all got changed into normal clothes Steve brought. Sam was piloting the jet once I was changed Steve walked over to me.

"I'm sorry I never knew." Steve said and I shook my head.

"No one did. I didn't do what he was accusing me of Steve." I said and he placed a hand on my cheek.

"I know, I believe you. I'm just happy I found you. I missed you Ro." Steve said.

"I missed you too Captain." I said and he smiled.

"I know we will be on the run and fugitives from now on but wherever we end up would you like to maybe get dinner sometime?" Steve asked and I huffed a laugh.

"I would love to but I need to do something else too." I said.

"What?" Steve asked.

I boldly grabbed him by his jacket and pulled him down to me and passionately kissed him. Steve wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer to him. Once we broke apart I looked at Steve.

"Thanks for the rescue." I said and he laughed as he placed a hand on my cheek.

"Anytime." Steve said.
