Say it.

Chapter Eight

As Steve made his way back to work as soon as Varvara dissappeared the door automatically opened up before him and he remained standing just infront of it as soon as he entered. He took a very deep breath in thinking about everything that just happened and tried to clear his mind.

"You need to stop thinking like that" Natasha said to Clint as they sat in the corner of their work place, alone

"It's difficult" he replied with his head held in his palms as Natasha stared at him wanting to get closer and comfort him

"Clint you know" she paused "last time was different. We weren't prepared." she tried her hardest to comfort him but didn't want to get any closer emotionally

"And this time we are?"

"Of course. We know it's all around Loki"

"Do we though?" he finally lifted his head up off his hands and looked into her eyes talking about Varvara. As soon as Natasha opened her mouth Steve walked into the room where there stood Bruce Banner, Clint Barton, Natasha Romanoff, Nick Fury, Thor and Tony Stark to which they all got up and circled around him. Where they worked was full of modern technology being touch screen-thin screens with detecting devices which track anyone they want to. The rooms walls were pretty much all grey and dull, no pictures and only a window here and there but the thing with mainly stood out was how many people were working on the job. There was the avengers themselves and roughly 100 others that were controlling the actual technology devices and would report back to the others. 

"So what did this thing say?" Nick Fury questioned Steve as he stormed through the door slamming it behind him and throwing his watch on the sofa as he strode past it and walked back and forth. Everyone gathered around him as he finally slumped on the sofa next to his watch and put his head on the palms of his hands, rubbing his forehead 

"Captain" Nick Fury said again "What did you find out?" 

"She wasn't telling me anything" 

"What do you mean she wasnt telling you anything? I'm pretty sure I saw her with a mouth" Tony stepped forward and joined in 

"She just said she had a dark past with Loki and it's none of my business." 

Thor laughed while everyone else walked off muttering about how much shes a spolit brat to themselves. 

"Thor!" Steve spoke out loud "Well you're Loki's brother ...do you know anything about her?" 

"My friend" Thor replied placing his strong left hand on Steve's right shoulder as he held his head up to look at Thor 

"He is my half-ish brother and i have no knowledge of him knowing anyone outside of our family only the guards and she was definitely not one of them" he removed his hand from his shoulder 

"Im sorry, I am no use in this situation." and he wondered off back to his work. Steve remained in his seat for a little longer pondering about what Varvara could of meant until he finally got up and began to walk back out of the building and go to find her again and force answers out of her until on his way out something caught his eye. Something on Tony's screen. His eyes were stuck to it like glue and his track was now on a different path. He walked over to where Tony was working and stared at the screen. 

"She's got nothing on Pepper but she's rather pretty isn't she?" Tony said to Steve as he could see him studying the picture of Varvara is great detail. He picked up the bottle next to his screen and took a big sip out of it before slamming it back down on the counter without putting the lid back on. On the photo she was pulled a pose where her head was slightly tilted back and to the left, she was giving a beautiful, mysterious smile too.
