*Steve's Point Of View*

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing beside me. My eyes open and I realise I'm on the sofa, I must have been really tired last night! I pick up my phone and see Fury calling.

"Yes, Sir. How can I help you, this morning?" I say, wiping my eyes to wake me up
"You have a mission, find Loki, bring him back to us ALIVE! Failure non-negotiable. Be at the jet in 15." Fury snaps back at me. That man never says good morning or anything! But at least a mission will get my mind off Natasha, those eyes... focus Steve! You have a Jet to catch!

I stand up and quickly make myself a coffee, I get changed in under 2 minutes, surprising for me. My Stealth suit fitted like a glove! I packed my gear and left the apartment and got on the elevator to the jet bays at the top of Avengers Tower.

The doors open and I saw Fury standing there with a Red Head in a black suit. 'New partner, that should get my mind off-' I thought as the red head turned around and revealed Natasha, looking directly at me. She smirked at me and walked on the jet. I walked up to Fury and contemplated backing out on the mission but I couldn't, not that I really wanted to.

"Glad you could make it, Cap! This is going to be dangerous, but I dont want to see you again unless you have Loki, understand?" Thanks for the reassurance, Fury.
"Yes, sir." I walked on to the jet and took a seat on the opposite side of the plane to Natasha.

We took off and headed for the location that Loki was last spotted, Stuttgard, Germany. Natasha moved over to my side of the jet and Stared at me. I looked up and caught her eye. Those eyes. That hair. That skin-tight black suit. I was gobsmacked by the beauty that sat in front of me.

"So, we are Partners now?" I said trying to hide my excitement.
"Looks like it!" She says with a smirk plastered across her face.
"Thanks by the way" I look up to see her serious face.
"What for?" I reply looking at her, I have a funny feeling that I looked confused, which I was not. I knew that she wanted to thank me for last night but I had to make sure.
"For Last night, I really got a lot off my chest." A slight smile appeared but soon left.
"You don't need to thank me, anyone would do it."
"Yeah, but your not anyone." She said it. Her eyes twinkling, I'm lost in those eyes again. A flirtatious smile grows across her face and she begins coming closer to me, leaning in. I find myself leaning in. The closer I got, the more I could smell her hair. Cherries, she smelt like cherries. She is so close now, I can smell her scent strongly and I love it. I'm going to go for it-

"Coming up on the Drop zone, Cap, if your not otherwise occupied." Shit. The pilot noticed. We both pulled away and acted like nothing had just happened. We both went to opposite sides of the jet and gathered the equipment we need. I can't get over what just happened. Ill think about it later, for now, let's kick some ass and bring Loki back alive.

*Natasha's Point Of View*

Oh my. What just happened? His eyes twinkle at me as he approached me, closer and closer. Then that bastard Pilot interrupted us. I could have kissed him if he hadn't got involved.

Hopefully, I'll get another chance to kiss him.

He sat on the opposite side of the plane, waiting for us to land. We landed and we both stood up ready to fight, we approached the end of the jet where we would get out. We got out a road away from Lokis location and approached slowly. We turned a corner and stayed hidden behind a bench. Loki had captured 200-300 people who were all kneeling before him. A man stood up and said that he wont kneel to a man like him. Loki aimed his golden glow-stick towards him and shot it towards him, a ball of blue energy roared towards him, before I knew it, Steve had intervened and had began to fight him. I cleared the hostages, turning back every now and again to make sure Steve is okay. Loki had knocked Steve down and almost immediately he aimed his glow-stick at him, before he fired I intervened. I wrapped my legs around his head and brought him down on the floor. He banged his head against the floor and looked up at me and Steve towering over him. We arrested him and walked him to the ship as quick as we could before he could pull any tricks.

The flight back was silent. No words were spoken apart from the pilot claiming that we were approaching Avengers Tower. We both stood up and left the ship, handing Loki to Fury. Bruce was of course waiting for me and Steve got on the Elevator and I assume headed straight back to him room. I wanted to follow him so bad but I couldn't leave Bruce. He wouldn't let me leave if he knew where I was going anyway.

I told him I needed to talk to Clint after faking that I recieved a text from him. I told Bruce I wouldn't be home for Dinner and that he shouldn't wait up for me. I left Bruce and headed straight for Steve's room.
