It was morning and I was in the guest room helping Natasha make the bed back to the way it was. We finish and I walk over to her.

"How'd you sleep?" I ask her.

"*sighs* It was fine. Just had a lot on my mind." She replies and I nod.

"How'd you sleep?" She then asks.

"Pretty good actually, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders." I say and she looks at me in a questionable manner.

"I kinda came out last night." I say, my nerves spiked as I'm basically coming out to her.

"Oh.." She responds.

"Y-yeah." I scratch the back of my head not looking at her.

"I'm glad you did Sarge, wish I was there when you first did." She says with a bit of disappointment in her voice.

"Are you disappointed that you weren't there for the big announcment?" I ask amused and she rolls her eyes playfully but doesn't respond which gives me her answer.

"I wasn't going to wake you up in the middle the middle of the night just to say *places hand next to my mouth, whispers* 'Hey, Romanoff. I know you don't care but, I've been gay since birth'." I say.

"Well if you would've woken me up to just say that, it would've been worth it." She says before walking out of the room making me stop shocked.

We are now in Sam's kitchen after eating breakfast and we start to talk about our current problem.

"So, question is, who in SHIELD could launch a domestic missile strike?" Natasha asks.

"Pierce." Steve responds.

"Who happens to be sitting on top of the most secure building in the world." She sighs.

"But he's not working alone, Zola's algorithm was on the Lemurian Star." Steve says.

"So was Jasper Sitwell." She nods.

"So, the real question is, how do the two most wanted people in Washington kidnap a SHIELD officer in broad daylight?" She then asks.

"The answer is, you don't." Sam speaks up and drops a file on the table.

"What's this?" Steve asks.

"Call it a resume." Sam smiles.

Natasha then grabs a photo looking at it.

"Is this Bakhmala? The Khalid Khandil mission, that was you." She says and looks over to Steve.

"You didn't say he was a para-rescue." She tells him as he looks at a different photo.

"Is this Riley?" He asks.

"Yeah." Sam nods.

"I heard they couldn't bring in the choppers because of the RPGs. What did you use, a stealth chute?" Natasha asks him.

"No. These." He says handing Steve a file and he opens it and reads it.
