High Hopes ~

The red head moved around in her black catsuit. The red Hourglass on the suit didn't stand out as she had thought it might. She held the gun in her hand as she crept through the base. No one except her partner and Fury knew about this mission. She needed to bring back the correct file. She crept into the control room, where the file would be. She tried a computer, but to no avail, but it didn't have the file. Three computers were in the room. The alarm system could go off at any moment. A cold hand grabbed her waist and she jumped a little.

"Damn you, Barnes." She snapped at him quietly as twisted out of his grip. She looked at him and saw amusement spark his eyes. Idiot. The Spy moved quickly through the room towards the next computer. She found nothing on that one, except a trigger for the alarm. She avoided it and moved to the next computer. She typed a few keys, but was turned around by her partner as she heard the door open. Crap. He pulled her into a closet that barely fit them both. The computer was still on and looked as if it was being infiltrated. Romanova opened the closet door and rushed the guard. She put her hand over his mouth and held her gun at point. Barnes was shaking his head, telling her not to pull the trigger. She did. The sound echoed loudly throughout the room and hall. Natalia quickly finished her work on the computer, snatching the small hard drive from the side of the machine. Footsteps were heard, pounding down the hallway towards them. One of her held up a gun as she slipped the hard drive into her pocket. She moved to get her own gun at point, but felt something hit her shoulder and heard a bullet shot echo. She dropped the gun and fell to the ground with a scream. James raced to her side and picked her up as she blacked out. He fought his way out of the room, killing if necessary.

"What the Hell was that?"
James's angry voice etched its way into her thoughts. He had the spark of anger in his eyes as he paced the floor of their room. She frowned and searched her pocket for the hard drive. She looked to him, eyes wide, when she didn't find it. "What!?" He snapped and turned to her. He saw her eyes filled with hurt and he instantly softened.

"The God Damned hard drive is gone!" She cursed but James only laughed.

"Natalia. Your shot and all you can think about is the hard drive?" She glared and he only laughed harder. Then she frowned as he told her where it was. "I gave it to S.H.E.I.L.D. Now get some rest!"

She felt the pain in her leg as she watched Barnes climb into the bed with her. He gave her a soft kiss on her cheek before drifting to sleep. She smiled and followed him, curled into his side with her head buried in his neck.
