Some people are meant to FALL in love with each other but aren't meant to BE with each other....
"I'm coming... I need you to stay on the coms... I need you to.. just.. just stay alive."
I hear nat beg of me.
I glance down at the broken controls a...
Natasha(POV) "I'm proud of you Romanoff." Furys last words catch me by surprise. I freeze, my hand still on the doorknob. I come back to me senses and turn my head to look at him. "You know, most folks will tell you changes is wrong but" he pauses to raise an eyebrow at me. "It may not be so bad." I force a smile. "Thank you sir." And then I walk out. What was that about? Well I am going on the mission. Not for a year or anytime close to that. Just a month maybe a little more. If I move quickly it should give me enough time to get the information that S.H.I.E.L.D needs. I leave tomorrow. I'll admit I'm a little scared. Not because I don't want to go but because I don't want to fail.
"When do you leave?" Steve asks before even saying hi. "Tomorrow." I say and he sighs. Then he grabs my hands "I'll go with you." He says sincerely. I put a hand on his cheek. "As tempting as that offer is, I think this is something I need to do by myself." I say hoping he will understand. "You're right. Well we might as well enjoy tonight then." He tells me sadly. I take his arm and start leading him to the bedroom. "And I think I know just the way to."
This morning I don't wake up to the glorious smell of breakfast. Instead I wake up with a sigh. I look at the clock : 5:00 am. Another sigh. I force myself out of bed making sure to be extra quite as to not wake Steve up. I shower and eat and then throw on some clothes. I plant a lingering kiss on Steve's forehead. I guess I linger too long because his eyes flutter open. I'm about to tell him to go back to sleep but he says something before I even open my mouth. "Don't die." He places a hand on my cheek. I laugh but I know he is serious. I give him a nod and then place one more kiss on his lips.
I sleep for most of the flight. Not good sleep though, because nightmares and the sounds of the plane constantly wake me. Eventually I give up and look down at the small world. I wish Steve was here. But at the same time I know that I need to be by myself for this. By the time we land it's dark outside. I slip back on my sunglasses. I put my hair in tight curls since I haven't done them in a while.

When I get out of the airport a taxi is already waiting to take me to my hotel. Once I arrive I get a text from an unknown number which I know most be Fury. F: Just the usual. I'll have someone slip the location under your door. Get the information and get out. We'll repeat this for every location we find. Tomorrow morning you will need to track a possible suspect a picture of him and his suspected location will be included. Don't reply. I look at the message and then erase all data on the phone so it can't be tracked. As promised, later in the night a package slides under my door. After studying it I decide to just go to bed, overwhelmed with jet-lag.
I slip into the coffee shop unnoticed thanks to my disguise.

*Ignore the blonde hair* Peeking out of my sun glasses I watch as the suspect occasionally whispers to the man in the booth behind him. "You getting this?" I ask talking into my ear piece to Maria Hill. "Translating it now. See if you can get an I.D off of him." She replies. "Got it." I order a coffee and wait. Finally the man slowly gets up and walks out. I walk quickly after him and once we are outside I purposely bump into him. His grabs my shoulders to steady himself and I quickly wrap my arms around his waist whilst digging in his pockets. While he is still is taking in the situation I quickly tuck what I need into the back of my skirt. "Ah I'm so sorry." I apologize seductively in Russian. "No need. Besides i consider myself lucky to run into a woman as beautiful as you." He replies also in Russian. I force myself to blush. "I would love to chat but I most go." He says and hops into a car. I turn and smirk as I take the wallet out. I shuffle through it until I find an I.D. "Here it is." I say to Maria as I press the scanner on my sunglasses. "Smooth." She laughs.
When I arrive at the location it's night once again. I climb out of the taxi I'm in and once it is out of sight I peel off my jacket so that I'm only in my suit. Of course the door is locked so Maria scans it until she finds and tells me the code. When I enter I find it to be empty. I check the floor I'm on and once it's clear I run downstairs. "We have heat signatures." Maria warns me. Like promised I come to face with two men. One goes to grab me but I quickly throw myself on and over him making him fall to the ground.

I repeat a similar move to the other man and now with them both on the ground I pull out my guns and aim them at both men. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Surprised I quickly turn around to the voice. I blink a few times for the man standing a few feet away from me is one whose name I never thought I would hear again, much less ever see again. And I can't help but let out a "No."
