Budapest

Bucky?!!

*April 9th*

Next thing I know; I'm waking up in another vehicle. "Where are we?" I asked.

"Just outside of Washington. Are you okay? You weren't conscience when I pulled us out."

"Yea, I feel fine. Thank you. So, where are we going?" I asked as I pulled out my phone. I had seven text messages. Six from Alex and two from Clint:

Alex: Yea, I'm fine. So are a couple of my closest friends. Yes, we are at the safe house, and no we haven't contacted anyone.

Alex: Nat, are you there? I said we were fine. Are you okay?

Alex: NAT! What's going on? Why did you have us go to the safe house?

Alex: Nat, you're really starting to scare me. Please answer.

Alex: Mom, please answer. I'm worried. If you don't answer in five minutes. I'm calling Clint.

Clint: Hey, Nat. Alex just called she said you weren't answering her and she is worried. She said that you made her go to our D.C. safe house. Is everything ok?

Alex: Mom, I'm sorry, but you were worrying me. I called dad and told him. Please answer one of us.

Clint: Natasha Barton! You answer me right this minute. You have worried Alex, and now I'm worried. If you don't answer in the next five minutes; I will pack up, call the lady down the street to watch the kids, and I will come find you.

I texted Clint back first, Hey, I'm ok. You DON'T need to come. Steve and I just got stuck in a sticky situation. Everything is fine though, so don't worry. I think we are headed to a safe place Steve knows about. Everything is going wrong, SHIELD's been compromised, and they are after Steve. I will keep you updated with everything I know, but as of right now that isn't much. I love you; tell the kids I love them too. I'll be home soon.

I then texted Alex, Mom huh. It's okay you can call me that; I don't mind. You have every reason to be worried. SHIELD's been compromised, and they are after Steve. The reason I didn't answer any of your texts was because there was a big explosion. Steve and I were caught in the middle of it. I was knocked out and just woke up. I will keep you updated on everything I know, but right now that isn't much. If you trust your friends with everything you have; then there is nothing to worry about. Make sure your absolutely careful; please, I don't want anything to happen to you. I will come and check on you soon stay safe.

"Okay, so we are going to a friend's house. The thing is, we will have to walk a ways." Steve says pulling over.

"Yea, that's fine." I told him unbuckling. "Steve?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you for pulling me out back there."

"You don't have to thank me." He said getting out of the truck. "Now are you ready to go?"

"Yea, lead the way."

We walked for a while, and finally ended up at some house at eight in the morning.

Steve walked up the sidewalk and knocked on the door. I looked around us trying to figure out where exactly we were. The guy I saw talking to Steve the other morning opened the door.

"Hey, man." He said.

"I'm sorry about this; but we need a place to lay low." Steve told him.

"Everyone we know is trying to kill us." I told him.

The guy looks at me, moves away, and motions us in. "Not everyone."

"Thank you, Sam." Steve said to him as we walked in. "Oh, Sam this is Natasha. Nat this is Sam. He was the guy I was running with the day you came to pick me up."
