The Man Behind the Shield

Necessary PDA

After asking a woman for her jacket to better disguise myself, the three of us walked through the mall. Steve pacing a little faster then both us girls.

"The first rule of going on the run is DON'T RUN, walk." Natasha warned as she noticed Steve constantly checking the barometer.

"If I run in these shoes they are going to fall off." Steve added, and held my hand as we walked inside the closest store with internet and computers. Apple, of course. Their Genius Bar had access with computers and WiFi.

" The drive have a level six homing program, so once I plug it in SHIELD will know our location." Natasha warned, finding the drive in her pocket.

"How much time do we have?" Steve asked.

"Nine minutes from..." She placed the drive in quickly and began typing. "Now!"

She looked through the drive and began talking about Nick, how he knew there was something on the ship from his last mission. I don't understand a lot of what she was saying, so I took watch of the door.

"Can I help you guys find anything?" An apple employee politely asked.

Natasha smiled and pulled his name square from his neck. "Oh no thanks, Aaron. See my best friend and her fiancé are looking for a place to book their destination wedding."

I blushed as Steve came around and squeezed me. "Yeah, We're getting married."

"Thats great! Where are you guys thinking?"

The screen blinked a location from where the drive came from.

"New Jersey?" Both Steve and I saw at the same time.

Aaron must have thought that was our place to book since he dropped subject and noted to Steve's fake glasses, raving how he owned a pair as well. He then offered more help by informing us to look for him when we need him. We won't be, we need to move fast.

"You said nine minutes."

"Shh, relax...Got It." Natasha pointed to the name on the screen. Wheton, NJ. " Ever been there?"

I can tell from the look on Steve's face that he is remembering something from his past.

"Hey, It's okay. We will find answers there. Okay? Let's go." I urge and remove the drive, handing it to him.

He holds my hand as we walk out through the crowd and spot several agents, whom tried to disguise themselves but wore all black. Morons.

"Tag team, two behind, two across... two coming up ahead." Steve warned, then began talking about a plan for attack.

"Shut up and put your arm around Heylee." Natasha ordered, bringing Steve out of his rant.

"What?"

"Laugh at something she said, do it!"

He put his arm around my shoulder and laughed, almost a little too fake. But it bought us time.

We move to the escalator and step on to go down. I recognize the men and I turn to Steve.

"What are you..." I stop him mid sentence and kiss him hard as I moaned. Looking at the corner of my eye, the agent turned away, almost uncomfortably.

"Not my best kiss but it distracted agent stupid going up the other way."

"Couldn't have agreed more. You sure she isn't an agent?" Natasha praised.

I see that behind Steve, an agent caught my eye. He's seen my face.

"Shit! One of them saw me." I whisper and turn back around.
