A/N: Awww, sleepy Indominus Rex :3(he's staring at me with his not closed eye XD). Let's just assume Bucky was never really in this story, like he was released from the Cryo but Steve never found him after CA:TWS. Also, most of the stuff in here is straight from the movie, with my extra changes to make Romanogers more evident.

They walked together toward the conference room, hand in hand.
The rising tension of fear for what to come was not easing the hairs on Steve's neck.
Fear for Wanda. Fear for the Team. Fear especially towards Natasha. They're so close to marriage, after all this time spent away from them, Steve felt like he needed to retired. But he's got a couple more fights left in him.
~X~
"And what term would you prefer?" Natasha questioned at the Secretary of State, giving him a smirk. The SoS turned his unflinching gaze on her, then to Steve, then to Wanda. Natasha was seated in front of Steve, ready to calm him down if things got out of hand. The meeting was a blur, and that's what it was, a blur. But she paid attention to the Sokovian Accords, and the consequences of not signing.
"I'm not ready to retire," she had said to Steve one night. "To much red I still have to lose."
~X~
"You're being uncharacteristically silent this whole time Tony, you okay?" Natasha questioned the scientist. Steve had taken to sit in the middle seat, so she stuck to the sidelines with Tony.
He got off his couch, said something about the coffee grinds in the sink, and brought up a picture of a boy none of them knew.
"Yeah, this is Scott. Not that we knew because we dropped a building on him while we were kicking ass. I don't want to see more of this."
Steve's voice rang up, sounding almost concerned. "We sign this, we're giving up our rights-"
"Oh who cares about our rights! All I know is that people died, and we did nothing about it!"
Natasha was surprised, not showing it on her face, but on the inside, she was worried that Tony would punch him. She'll gladly punch him if that was the case.
She added her input only once, because a full out argument was not needed.
"I find this plan, compatible, it can work."
Sam turned his baffled eyes on her. "Weren't you the one to tell the Government to kiss our ass a couple years ago?"
She shrugged. "I'm just saying it could work."
Her line of sight noticed Steve to pull out his phone and read something among the chaos. Natasha pulled her own phone out to text him.
You okay?
She's dead, died in her sleep.
Peggy?
No response, for some brave tears were gathered up in his eyes and Steve ran out the room, Natasha following suit.
He stopped at the stairway, hand covering his face, but Natasha saw the tears coming down.
"Steve, come on, talk to me."
She reach around his neck and hugged him, tears finding ways to the brink of falling from her own eyes, but she held them in.
"Among the chaos of chatter, I volunteered to represent the Avengers in Vennia, I assume you will come with me as team leader?" she said softly.
"I'll go to London for Peggy, but not to that meeting."
"We'll see."
She pressed a soft kiss on his lips to show him that he will be all right, and she felt the pent up tension roll right off. "I'm sorry," she mumbled into the kiss.
