Hello Captain (Steve Rogers)

Man down

Sarah's POV

Bruce and I made our way off the jet quickly, heading to the door that would take us inside. I felt a wash of hot air as the Quinn jet lifted back off. Once inside, we took the elevator to the lobby. It was a pretty nice building, so we fit in fine. I double checked my reflection in the shiny metal, but everything was in place. We went outside and I took Bruce's arm, since I noticed the other couples were walking together like that. We walked down a block to where Oracle had their offices. It was a large building with more glass than metal or stone. I listened to the chatter of the people around me, getting into the proper mindset. On our way, I chattered to Bruce in Arabic, testing him a bit.

"So we are going to meet your cousin? Why didn't he come to your Father's house like the rest of them?"

"He has always been busy working. I have not seen him in a long time."

"What is it that he does again?"

"He is an important man at Oracle Global. I had heard he was promoted not long ago, so I don't know what he does now."

We got to the front door of the lobby and the doors slid open automatically.

"So he will be expecting us?"

Bruce smiled, understanding what I was doing and getting into character. "Yes, woman. Now hush and be an obedient wife."

"Yes, husband."

I let go of Bruce's arm to follow a couple steps behind him. We walked over to the security checkpoint. They asked our names and business there, so Bruce showed them our papers and acted like he was insulted he was being kept waiting. He did a very good portrayal of a rich Middle Eastern man. They had us take out our phones, remove our watches and jewelry and go through the metal detectors. I put back on my jewelry as I quietly waited behind Bruce, eyes down but taking everything in. The guard gave Bruce two passes and told him which elevator to take. He handed me my pass and said, "Come now, Fatimah. We don't want to keep Cousin Jalaal waiting."

We took the elevator the guard indicated and went to the top floor. There was a reception area and Bruce gave his alias to the secretary, who said it would be a little bit before our guy would be ready. We took seats by the window and Bruce handed me my tablet.

"Thank you, husband."

"Good, we can see you," said Clint.

I woke up my tablet and got to work, making it look like I was a bored woman shopping online. Bruce pulled his phone out and tapped at it, boosting my signal. It took a little bit, but I got onto their secure wireless channels and started sweeping for the signal I had found earlier. It was much stronger than before and it was on this floor. I held the tablet so Bruce could see it.

"I like this one but I'm not sure where it would come from."

"It's very nice. I'm sure we could find it while we're here. You should ask Mother if she has seen one like it in the shops she favors."

"Same signal as the last two bombs," Natasha said. "I sent it to Tony. Can you tell where it's coming from?"

"I will try to remember to do that," I said as I tried to trace it further, but only coming up with the same exact thing. I couldn't block the signal and I couldn't narrow it down. I could tell if I was getting warm or cold, but that was it.

"Got a lock on the signal, Sarah," said Tony. "Good enough to get me close, at least."

"Good," Bruce said, "I'm glad we had time to meet my cousin today."
