"How can you just sit there when she's out there?!" My patience is running out, it's been almost two weeks since Abby gone missing and we've done nothing. They had done nothing.

I tried, I really tried but every time it leads to a dead end, only traces of them but never her. It's was like they always knew where to hide, where I would come.

Tony sighs  and rubs his temples "I know Cap, but what do you want me to do?" He looks up to meet my eyes "I have tried every single thing that I can think of but nothing works, they're always one step ahead of us!"

I stare at him for a moment before sitting down on the couch, every limb feeling sore and tired. I can't remember the last time I slept.

"I'm sorry" I mumble and look up, he meets my eyes and nods. I've been hard on every one of them but I needed it so they wouldn't see me falling apart on the inside. The breaking point is near and I can't let them watch it. It was enough when I lost her and Bucky the first time. My mind turned dark enough then and the light was gone.

"I wish I could find her, I do. I see how much she means to you. And I care a lot about her too. We all do"

"I know you do" I answered in a mild tone "But I can't lose her again, I have already lost her once and I will not do it again"

There a quite moment as we just stare at each other's before Tony speaks.

"I see" Is all he answers and stands up from the couch.

"You wanna know a funny thing?" I say and look up to Tony. "Every time I look Natasha in the eyes all I can see I Abby staring back at me"

He stares at me for a moment and then abruptly turns around while halfway through the door mumbling "I'm going to the lab to run over something"

Minutes turned into hours as I just stare at the wall, trying to find the next strategic or plan, something that will bring her back.

My thoughts are interrupted when Natasha walked through the door. She stops in her steps when she sees me and I can see how her pretty face change.

" Hey Nat" I say and acknowledge her, she can't run away now. She had been ignoring me ever since Abby disappeared, I can see it in her eyes that there is something she wants to say but never have the time for.

"Hi" She answers and looks around the room for a moment. "Where is Tony?" She tries to change the subject, not ready for whatever it is that troubling her little head.

"He left a little earlier, what's on you mind?" I say and offer her a hand. We haven't been close but I have always felt a connection to her.

"I actually wanted to talk to you" she finally gives in mumbling and walked over to the couch. It's must be something important for the deathly assassin to be this nervous and shy. It does not suit her, I like the confident and knowing Nat . This feels wrong.

"What's the matter" I try to be gentle and open to her. She stares into my eyes and that when I see it again, Abigail staring back at me.
