Aaliyah Cohen, Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff and Emma Diament go to mall disguised as friends going shopping because that's what friends do.

"First rule of going on the run is, don't run, walk." Natasha told Steve.

"If I run in these shoes, they're gonna fall off." Steve comments, Emma laughed at that.

The four enter the mac store, Aaliyah grabs a laptop and plugs the drive in while Emma and Natasha look around the store, making sure that Natasha isn't recognised.

"The drive has a Level Six homing program, so as soon as we boot up SHIELD will know exactly where we are." said Aaliyah to Steve, who was staring at Emma and Natasha while the two looked at phones, Aaliyah rolled her eyes and tapped Steve. "How much time do we have?"

"Uh... about nine minutes from... Now." A window popup and displayed encrypted data from the Lemurian Star. "Fury was right about that ship, somebody's trying to hide something. This drive is protected by some sort of AI, it keeps rewriting itself to counter my commands." She explained as she typed.

"Can you override it?" Steve asked as he leaned over Aaliyah's shoulder so he could get a closer look at what was happening.

"The person who developed this is slightly smarter than me. Slightly."

Rumlow and his team pull up outside the mall and head inside toward the Mac store. While Steve and Aaliyah continue to try and find out what's on the flash drive, when Natasha and Emma walk over.

"I'm gonna try running a tracer. This is a program that SHIELD developed to track hostile malware, so if we can't read the file, maybe we can find out where it came from." said Aaliyah.

Suddenly one of the employees walked up and greeted them with a smile. "Can I help you guys with anything?"

The group of four looked up and Emma started thinking. "Oh no. My fiancé and my sisters were just helping me with some honeymoon destinations." Emma said with a smile, Natasha and Aaliyah sighed in relief.

"Right! We're getting married."

Aaliyah groaned under her breath at the awkwardness of Steve's reaction but she did glance at her cousin who seemed to think it was slightly amusing.

"Congratulations. Where do you guys thinking about going?" The employee asked.

Steve looked on the monitor beside him as files popped up. "New Jersey."

"Oh, okay." The employee replied, before pausing a moment as he looks at Steve who looks uncomfortable and glances at Emma who shrugs. "I have the exact same glasses."

"Wow, you two are practically twins." Natasha drawled as Aaliyah continued typing on the laptop.

"Yeah, I wish. Specimen." The employee replied. "Uh... if you guys need anything, I've been Aaron."
