Lyras P.O.V
"Your sure this is a good idea?" Natasha asked while we were walking to the coffee place where we were meeting Jack.
"Yeah he's really excited to met you" I said with a smile she smiled back, I could tell it wasn't genuine though either Nat is nervous or she's hiding something from me.

"I'm excited to met him, you talk about him so much I decided to give him a shot."
"I'm glad to hear that"
"So what have you told him?" I shrugged
"Your my best friend, we work in the same law firm together" Natasha scoffed
"Well I can't say that you weren't creative" I smirked
"Hey I leaned a few things from you"
"I hope you learned more then a few"
"You'll see" I opened the door and Jack was already waiting at a table for us. I ran over to him, when he herd me he stood up to catch me, wrap his arms around me and twirl me around. He stopped and my lips immediately met his. His hands never leaving my waist while mine wrapped around his neck kissing him back. 

Natasha let out a cough, causing us to break apart
"Sorry, Natasha this is Jack, Jack Natasha."
"Lovely to meet you" Jack said extending his hand his voice always sent shivers down my spine today was no exception, that damn accent.
"Likewise" Nat said shaking his hand then sitting down
"Lyra has told me lots about you but please tell me more."

Jack chuckled
"There's not much to tell, I moved here about a year ago, got settled, found a job and not after found Lyra."
"Why did you decide to come to America?"
"Change of pace" Jack said Natasha nodded I spoke up
"Jack has actually been to a few other places, he likes to travel"
"Really? Any place special?" Jack smiled
"Here actually" I couldn't help but smile and wrap my arms around his.

"Your pancakes are delicious" Natasha burst out laughing and I gasped at him
"I'm kidding love" he said pressing a kiss to my cheek. I smiled then stood up
"I'm gonna go grab some coffee anyone want anything?" Natasha raised her hand
"My usual please"I nodded then saw Jack teaching for his wallet before I could say anything he already handed me some money
"Here get yourself a nice muffin or something to go with your coffees." I nodded
"Thanks Jack" I pressed a kiss to his cheek before walking over to the line.

Natasha's P.O.V
I watched Lyra walk to the cashier and turned around when she could no longer here us.
"She's great" Jack said staring at her
"You can drop the act, I know who you are"
"What do you mean" I smiled then shook my head
"I mean I know that your real profession isn't bartending, or that meeting Lyra was an accident or that you really believe that she and I work at a law firm together. He grinned

"I shouldn't be surprised leave it to Natasha Romanoff to figure it out, when Lyra said I would be meeting her friend named Natasha I admit I was nervous, how did you find out?" I smirked
"Your stupidity, here's a tip: when going undercover one usually has an alias that prevents the enemy from finding your name on the side of your gun taken from one of your fellow agents." Jack leaned back
"So the infiltration was a failure I'm assuming?"

"What do you want Jack? Is it just your mission to seduce Lyra or do you have some sort of ulterior motive?"
"Oh my motive is simple: to do America a favour and rid the world of the Starks, their holier then thou attitudes deserve to be taken down a notch."
"Ok so the Starks have a attitude doesn't mean that Tony or Lyra deserve to die."
"It's not just their attitudes it's everything, they think their gods while us mortals are to sit here amazed by their brains and fancy technology. Howard wasn't any better, him being one of the founders of Shield he thought he was doing the world a favour" Jack scoffed

"Please" I balled my hands
"Look the Starks aren't perfect trust me but none of them are their father, Lyra never even met the guy." Before Jack could say another word Lyra came back handing me my coffee, she sat down with hers along with a muffin.
Lyra
"What were you guys talking about?"
"Work" they said

"I was telling Jack of how we met on our first day of work, you were the shy new girl" I nodded
"You helped me that first day, I got lost trying to find the bathroom" all three of us laughed. We spent the rest of the time telling stories of course mine and Natasha's were all lies. I felt a pit in my stomach feeling worse as the day went on about lying to him.

Eventually we left Jack left to head home to relax for a few hours before his shift. I was quite on the way back
"Your strangely quiet" Natasha said also noticing
"I hate lying to him, everything I said to him was a lie back there"
"Not everything, I really did help you when you got lost on your first day"
"Yeah but we don't actually work for a law firm." Natasha sighed
"Look I know it comes with the job all right but I trust Jack can I just let him in even a little bit? At least introduce him to Tony, we don't have to tell him I'm an Avenger or that I have wings"

"No!" I said louder then intended Lyra jumped
"Sorry Ly but these are the rules, I didn't make them" Lyra sighed
"I know" she was quiet the rest of the way back and headed straight to her room not saying hello to Steve when she walked past him.
"Is she ok?"He asked looking at her with concern
"No, she's falling for a Hydra agent Steve she's most definitely not ok"
"Speaking off, how did it go?" I shrugged
"Idiot didn't even try to deny it, he also has this weird vendetta against the Starks, he really doesn't like their holier then thou attitude he told me."
"I mean who does but it has to be more then that" I nodded
"Agreed"
"Think we can figure this out together?" Steve asked I nodded
"Should we tell anyone else"

"No not now, it would be cruel if the whole team was keeping a secret from Lyra the less people that know the better." I nodded
"Agreed" I walked away

Lyras P.O.V
I lied in my bed thinking, thinking of the life decisions I've made. While Shield saved my life and I'm forever can't I can't help but feel a little pain in my chest every time I see a couple walking down the street holding hands being all sickly sweet. It always reminds me that I can never have that life, it never bothered me much before but then I met Jack who I fear I'm falling to hard for to soon.
