Peter had been here for three weeks now and I was trying to explain the simulation to Peter because Fury asked me to help him train, but I didn't mind, he was a really nice guy and it helped take my mind off of Steve.
"Ok so all you do is choose the setting and difficulty then step into place and they will come at you" I looked at him, he looked completely lost. I laughed at him.
"Hey don't laugh this is all new to me" he chuckled.
"I know, you'll get use to it... Do you want me to go first?" He nodded and stepped back. I stepped in the glass box and started the fight, simulations people, I took one out with my gun, another with my blade, one by one they were taken out and when it had finished the room went dark again. I turned to Peter. "See it's easy" I said breathing heavy. . He chuckled and moved to one side "Ok let me have a go" I walked out and watched him. He wasn't as bad as he thought.
I saw a reflection through the glass door standing behind me.
"He's not to bad" he said crossing his arms. "No he isn't" I replied and turned round. "What up Clint?" I smiled.
"Just wondering if you are ok... Feel like I haven't seen you in a while" he eyes looked apologetic.
"That's because your always with Captain Asshole" I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.
"April" he sighed
"Sorry.... Captain America" I glared at him with my arms crossedwaiting for him to continue.
"Anyway, Fury wants you" I sighed and walked past him Nd up to Furys office.

I knocked on the door and waited for him to respond. "Come in" I entered the office and shut the door behind me, as I walked further into the office, I notice Steve and Natasha sat on the sofa. I rolled my eyes and sat on the other sofa. "I need you three to go investigate a base where we think Rona's minions could be setting a base up." He said placing a file on the glass coffee table.
"I'm sorry director fury but why do you need me?" I questioned,
"We may need your abilities to help find the hide out.... Is there a problem Agent Barton?" He raised his eyebrow at me. 'Maybe the fact I don't want to work with Steve ever again!' I thought to myself. I shook my head and looked at Natasha.
"Good then you leave tonight.... You are dismissed" we all stood up to leave, Natasha opened the door and walked out, I was about to walk out when Steve pushed past me. I sighed and reckoned the office door.
"Director Fury.... I really don't feel comfortable do this mission with Captain Rodgers... Is there anyway they could go without, just this time" he turned to face me.
"Look April... I don't know what has happened between you and captain and I am not going to get involved..... However you need to sort this out otherwise you could both end up compromising a mission..... You need to work together " I looked down and the room was silent for a minute.
"I don't want to work with him all together.... Things are that bad between us I can't see them getting resolved.... Let him continue here and I will take leave and go home for a while" why was I letting him off so easy, I was now leaving the job I loved because he had it feel that uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry April but I need you here" he said sitting in his leather desk chair. I sighed and rolled my eyes. I then turn on heels and left slamming the door behind me.

Stevens point of view
When me and Natasha left Furys office I heard the door shut again, I looked back to see April had gone.
"So this trip is going to be interesting" Natasha smirked.
"Give it up Natasha... We will have to work together, I wouldn't let anything ruin a mission you know that." I replied.
"What even happened between you two?" I was really surprised she didn't know, but then again no one seemed to know. "Nothing happened, we just had a disagreement" she laughed and I looked at her confused, she stopped in her tracks and I stopped aswell.
"You are so full of shit Steve.... You didn't just have a disagreement otherwise 1. she wouldn't have left Malibu with only a brief note, 2. She wouldn't have left for a mission without telling you when you were suppose to be on it and last you would have made up by now... It's been nearly a month" I looked down and shook my head.
"Ok I'll tell you but not here" she nodded and we continued walking until we reach outside, we walked down the stepped from the building and walked over the grass until we reached a grassy hill over looking the running track.
We sat down in the grass. "Come on then... Spill" she said playfully nudging me. I sighed, I felt so embarrassed.
"She freaked out that we had sex... I ended up confessing that I wanted to be with her and she made a bunch of excuses and I guess I got mad I told her Tony was right, she was just using me for sex.... Then she threw a book at me and then I called her a bitch.... I was so mean Natasha.... I feel so bad but so hurt at the same time..... This is beyond repair"I looked at her, now I have said it out loud I felt so sad and I just wanted to hug her and tell her how sorry I am.
"Oh Steve... You and that temper!" She giggle and shook her head "maybe you could sort things out whilst we are on the mission?" She suggested.
"It's to broken to sort out.... I can't even look at her" I looked up at the sky. "Why?". She laughed like I was being silly.
"Because she rejected me AND I blew a fuse with her again!.... I feel so embarrassed and part of me is still hurt" she put her arm around me and hugged me from the side. We stayed quite for a while before Natasha broke the silence
"Come on Cap, we better get ready for this mission" she jumped up and I followed.
