Pieces

Chapter 2 - Risks

"Hey... uhm... here is Steve..." He murmured and heard a breath on the other side. "Rogers..." "Are... are you Okay?" He asked worriedly. "Yes I am fine... What about You?" He heard the softness in her voice and knew she was worried too. "Yeah... I am. Where are You?" He asked softly "T'Challa told You, huh?" He chuckled "Yeah he did... Look I am in Miami. It was the last place they saw you... So where are You?" "You are- Are you crazy?! What if you get caught. You promised to stay in Wakanda as long-" "as long as I can. But I want you to be safe." He interrupted. "I am fine Rogers... I can look out for myself! You know that.".
Steve sighted softly "I know... But... You're all I have right now." He whispered softly and he could see her smile in his head.

It was quiet for a little time before she answered. "I... I am safe, Rogers... Trust me..." "Where are You?" "It's to risky..." "no. No you're not going with 'it's to risky'! 'Cause it's not!" He said a little angry. "But they could find you and-" "we're in this together Natasha!" He raised his voice a bit and then closed his eyes and continued in a calm voice "So let's stay together... we're a good team... aren't we?" She chuckled "Yes." She made a little break. "Yes we are.".
It was silent again before he asked again "So where are You?" The break was a little longer before she answered "I'm in Moscow...". He shut his eyes "Where in Moscow?" "I have a safe house outside of Moscow..."

Steve was silent for a second before he answered "I'm coming." "No. Steve, please don't..." "why not?" He could hear her breathe heavily. "I need to stay low for a little while. I just... We need to be safe Steve. We'll meet up in a few weeks, okay?" "How long?" He asked, his eyes closed. His mind was racing. This couldn't happen "I don't know..." She whispered softly. It wasn't exactly what he hoped she'd say. It was what he had feared she would say. He knew her quite well. He cared for her a lot. "Okay..." he breathed out, barely audible. But he knew she wouldn't give in. "I'll call. I promise..." He chuckled shortly, but you could hear the heaviness he felt inside "you better." She gave a short chuckle as well. "Bye Steve..." she whispered and with that she hung up and she couldn't even hear his last words whispered softly into the speaker of his phone: "I'll see you soon."

There he sat, his eyes closed. The phone still in his hand. He sighted heavily before he opened his eyes. So she was in Moscow. Somewhere outside of Moscow. He dialed another number and soon after he heard T'Challa greet him. "I'm sorry to ask, but I need your help again..." "what can I do for You?" "She's in a safe house outside of Moscow. Do you think you can find where exactly?" He could see him smirk on the other side of the phone "of course I can."
