Natasha Moore had never been known to open up to anyone, especially if they weren't her best friend or little sister. She'd always stayed close...

"So you're telling me we're staying after closing because Dustin found some type of.... code? And he wants to decipher it?" Ocean asked as Natasha pulled her along toward Scoops Ahoy.
"Yeah, he seemed pretty persistent on wanting me to go, so I'm bringing you whether they like it or not." Natasha replied, and Ocean sent her a glance before stopping her right before they walked into the parlor.
"Is everything okay, Tash? You've been acting different since you came back in from break." The girl pulled her arm out of the others, crossing them across her chest.
"I just- Dustin was talking about them being true American heroes after they solve whatever this is," Natasha started. "And said something about Steve getting all the ladies he wants."
"You know if that happens, he won't care about the other ladies, right?" Ocean asked, "I mean, he was with Nancy Wheeler for who knows how long, and I've never seen him look at her or anyone at that matter the way that he looks at you."
"But he seemed pretty into it, I don't know." Natasha sighed. "I guess I'm just worried, you know? Sure, Steve's an idiot and not always making the best decisions, but some girl might come along and want him, a girl that's prettier than me and such."
"Don't worry about it. I highly doubt that's going to happen, okay?" Ocean asked, before glancing into the store. "Now let's get in there and see what this is about."
Natasha agreed and the two walked into the back of Scoops Ahoy, seeing Robin, Dustin and Steve gathered together as they said a sentence. "The week is long, the silver cat feeds, when blue meets yellow in the west."
"What the hell does that mean?" Ocean couldn't help but speak up, catching the groups attention.
"That's seriously all it is? Like it took us that much effort just for that?" Robin asked. "Great, I stayed late for nothing."
"And we missed everything," Natasha mumbled to Ocean, who couldn't help but let out a light laugh.
"Tell me about it."
"Let's get out of here and we can continue talking about it, okay?" Steve suggested. Everyone agreed and they walked out, Steve wasting no time in pulling the metal cage down.
It wasn't long before Dustin brought the topic up again, and Steve let out a frustrated sigh as he spoke. "I mean, it just... It can't be right."
"It's right," Robin disagreed, as the group began to walk.
"Honestly, I think it's great news." Dustin then spoke up, causing the two blonde's to look at each other. They'd barely been filled in on what was going on, the most they knew was from what Natasha heard Dustin talking about before she left and when he came in to visit and told her to meet them at Scoops. By the time they'd even gotten there after closing shop down, they'd already finished their conversation.
