I do not own Captain America in any way. I only own my OC.
Steve entered the hospital and walked up the vending machine to find the thumb drive was gone.
Natasha appeared behind him and Steve pulled her into a room.
"Hey! Let her go!" Madison said.
Steve covered her mouth and dragged her into the room too.
"Vse normal'no (It's okay)", Natasha told her.
"Where is it?" Steve asked Natasha.
"Safe".
"Do better".
"Where did you get it?"
"Why would I tell you?"
"Would you tell Madison?"
"Leave her out of this".
"Guys, I'm standing right here", Madison said.
"Fury gave it to you", Natasha said, "Why?"
"What's on it?" Steve asked.
"I don't know".
"Stop lying".
"I only act like I know everything, Rogers".
"I bet you knew Fury hired the pirates, didn't you?"
"Well, it makes sense. The ship was dirty, Fury needed a way in, so do you".
"I'm not gonna ask you again", Steve threatened, gripping Natasha's arms.
"Steve, stop it!" Madison snapped, "Let her go!"
"I know who killed Fury", Natasha said.
"What?" Madison asked her.
Steve let go of Natasha's arms.
"Most of the intelligence community don't believe he exists. The ones that do call him the Winter Soldier. He's credited with over two dozen assassinations in the last 50 years", Natasha explained.
"So he's a ghost story", Steve said.
"Five years ago, I was escorting a nuclear engineer out of Iran. Somebody shot out my tires near Odessa. We lost control, went straight over a cliff. I pulled us out. But the Winter Soldier was there. I was covering my engineer so he shot him straight through me. Soviet slug. No rifling. Bye-bye bikinis".
Madison remembered that day.
Madison skipped down to the air hanger.
Natasha was coming back today.
When she got to the air hanger, a medical team rushed past her. "Daddy, what's going on?" she asked.
"Go back to your room", he told her.
"But..."Madison said.
Natasha was on the stretcher now, bleeding from her stomach.
At 13, Madison had never seen so much blood. "Natasha!" Madison yelled.
"Go back to your room!" her father yelled at her. Clint held her back as the medical team rushed past them with Natasha. "Go back to your room. I'll come get you when they've fixed her up", Clint told her.
Madison came back to the present when Natasha said, "Going after him is a dead end. I know, I've tried. Like you said, he's a ghost story".
Natasha pulled out the thumb drive and showed Steve.
Steve took the thumb drive from her and said, "Well, let's find out what the ghost wants".
"And how are we gonna do that?" Madison asked.
"We're going to find out what's on this", Steve said.
"We're going to need a computer for that", Madison said.
"And I know just the place", Natasha said.
The three of them walked through the mall.
Steve and Madison flanked Natasha.
"First rule of going on the run is don't run, walk", Natasha said.
"If I run in these shoes, they're gonna fall off", Steve said, causing Madison to laugh.
They found the Apple store and Natasha logged onto a computer.
"Try to look like a normal teenager", Natasha told her.
Madison rolled her eyes and walked over to the phones and iPads. Madison kept a look out for any SHIELD agents.
"Can I help you guys with anything?" an associate asked Natasha and Steve.
"Oh no. My fiancé was just helping me with some honeymoon destinations", Natasha lied.
FIANCÉ?!
"Right. We're getting married", Steve said, looking over at Madison who was glaring at them.
"Congratulations. Where are you guys thinking about going?" the guy asked.
Steve glanced at the computer screen. "New Jersey", Steve told him.
"Oh", the guy said.
Madison had heard enough and stormed over to them. "Can we go?" she asked them.
"Patience, sweetheart", Natasha said, slipping into a mother role perfectly, "I'm sorry about my daughter".
"No problem. I know how teenagers can be. I've got a little sister. I'm Aaron, just let me know if I can help you with anything else", the guy said and walked off.
"What was that for?" Steve whispered.
"You know what", Madison snapped.
"It was Natasha's idea!" Steve told her.
"Children. Calm down. I've got it", Natasha told them.
Steve looked at the computer screen.
"You know it?" Natasha asked him.
"I used to. Let's go", Steve said and pulled the thumb drive out of the computer.
The three exited the Apple store.
"Um...guys. I think we have company", Madison told them.
