When The Snow Turns Black

Mission, mission

"Hey! What the hell!?" Natasha was pissed, she basicly just met the guy and he is already doing what he wants with her mission.

"What? Like I said I'm taking down HYDRA." he is doing he's job what's wrong with that.

"I'm in charge here! Understood?! Behind me now!" 'Awesome, this is just a beginning and he almost screw me up' this will be long day for both of them. Widow took deep breath and made a step forward. First they had to open the door, which were lokced by electronic lock. Thanks to Stark new locks in tower, she knew how to open it.
She took her knife and started to take down the outside of the electronic's. All the wires didn't mean anything to Bucky, yes HYDRA taught him some technology but most of it was guns and communication.

"Spies." said blue eyed sarcastically.

"What?" he was playing on her nerves.

"Nothing you just tamper in everything." he didn't know a lot of spies but he knew they are always to quiet, to dangerous and are perfect liars.

"Oh yeah, sorry I'm not shooting everything, that everyone could know I'm here. You can yell if you want!" 'Damn soldiers' she thought he might help but now she was not that sure. Natasha got used to working alone, quiet in, quiet out, killing some people in process and of course, taking what she came for. But working with some old guy, soldier from world war II, she didn't know if she could do it. 'Mission and babysitting, I just hope, he really can fight.'
Natasha finally managed to unlock the door but then again, Bucky wanted to go first.

"Barnes!" she was trying to say quietly but with cold voice. He heard her perfectly but he didn't had time to do anything about it, before bullets were flying everywhere. She took her glocks from holsters and started shooting back. Five man, were now just cooling bodies laying on the floor. Black Widow knew that there were more HYDRA agents on their way, so she used this short break to move four meters foreword to find herself next to Bucky. They took cover behind something that looked like control desk.
"What the hell were you thinking?!" she wasn't saving her own ass all this year for some old guy to screw her up.

"I was doing my job!" Bucky lifted his Sig Sauer P220ST to show her what he really meant. Now she realised, that maybe one of the bodies had her bullets inside but rest was his work.

"Okay so you can shoot, I will give you that." James turned his head, in way, that she couldn't really see his face but she noticed that he was smiling. 'Fine, maybe it won't be that bad after all' Natasha thought and smiled back.

They finished mission quickly and with style. Natasha found all informations and files she was sent to get. Assassins also left some bodies behind which was bad and good in the same time. Bad because of all the mess that they had to clean up. Good because no HYDRA agent would gave them up to his superiors and that in Bucky's situation was, well it could end really unpleasant.

After cleaning up they split up. Agent Romanoff went to the appointed place and took quinjet. Bucky on the other hand, used his assassin abilities to find his way to Natasha's apartment in New York.

After few hours Natasha was back in S.H.I.E.L.D. base. She left guns that wasn't her's, then she took a car and drove to her apartment. It was normal thing to do for her, redheaded was part of the team but she was a spy, after all and that kind, is not great around people all the time. She just couldn't be fully herself when she had someone around her 24/7, that just how she was.

She opened big dark door made of wood and steped inside of her apartment. Finally, she was home, Natasha had a bit different understanding of word home. Sure, it was place where she felt good but she never put her guard down, not even here, it's just the way her brain works, Black Widow can't forget herself.
Redheaded put her bag on her bed and went to take long hot shower. This mission wasn't hard for her, she had help but still she was tired, two days with no sleep do the trick.
Hot water was a blessing but warm bed sounded also great so after long time, she finally went out of the bathroom. Natasha steped in her bedroom, took her bag and put inside her wardrobe, taking one of her glocks out and puting it under her pillow. Assassin laid her head on the soft material and flew into darkness.

Natasha woke up in one second, in the same time she was getting up, her hand went under her pillow to find warm plastic of glock. Fast but quiet, she went to see what was causing short clicks. Tracking glock with her eyes, she finally found where the sound was coming from, door to her apartment. Someone was breaking in, messing with lock right now.

Doors started slowly opening, so Natasha took cover behind the wall. Someone walked inside and locked door behind, so he turned his back to redheaded assassin. 'Big mistake mate'. As fast as she could, she put gun to her 'guest's' head, but then made one step back, so that this man doesn't know where her glock actually is. Stranger put his hands in the air.

"You have five seconds, why shouldn't I just shoot you?!"

"Well you told me to come here so... here I am." said familiar voice and his owner put his hands down, turning around to face Natasha.

"Barnes! Geez, Can't you knock?!" she almost shot him, 'Well it wouldn't be that bad for the world' Natasha thought. "And how the hell you got here so fast." Redheaded was confused, she had direct plane, fast one I may add, but still he is here just few hours later then she.

"I have my ways and don't forget I'm assassin for much longer then you even walk on this Earth."

"Yeah, okay, so you're grandpa got it." they just stare at each other wondering who won that little war. "Just don't... do this again. I will shoot you next time. Okay I will show you where everything is." 'Damn, I thought I will have at least 24 hours, alone in this peace.' Natasha wasn't comfortable with one of the world's best assassins staying in her apartment but she had to have eyes on him and she can take care of herself, after all she also is on the world's best assassins list.
Natasha started moving towards her bedroom. "So... On left is my bedroom, you don't go in there." she eyed him.

"Okay" he laughed. "Stay out, got it."

"Perfect, as I was saying, on right is guestroom which you can take for now, and straight in the middle is bathroom. I assume you know where the kitchen and living room is, since we just walk through. Okay, I think that's all, I will go now to sleep if you're fine." she looked at him waiting for reaction.

"I'm good." Bucky smiled at her, he looked at her beautiful green eyes and forget that he wanted to say something.

"Great." redheaded said and turned around to go to her room.

"Natasha!" she turned head on the sound of her name. "Thank you... For everything."

"Sure, just don't do anything stupid and we will be just fine." she smiled at him with sympathy. "Goodnight, Barnes."

"Goodnight, Romanoff" soldier smiled back.
