Fast forward to 2014 (The Winter Soldier)

It's been close to a year since Steve arrived at Shield. We have grown really close to each like two peas in a pod. He really has a lot of personality than what most people assume when they look at him. Steve has become another best friend to me and we have had a blast. I have tried my best to bring him up to speed. Told him to keep a notebook of all things he might want to know and people have shared some things that he should checkout. I have shown him more classics. Things that he would feel more at home with. I had him watch movies like singing in the rain, funny girl, and breakfast at Tiffany's. I even got him to watch the pink panther which is a most definite classic. As months went on, he eventually got the general idea of what he missed in the world. I mainly asked him things about what life was like for him during that time. Part of me is a history nerd but mostly to make him feel not so different or some old man. Which on occasions I would joke a little about but not too much.

"Look Rose, the fossil made a new friend," Nat pulls up by the curb as we watch Steve and another man wearing a veteran sweatshirt, shorts, and sneakers shake hands.

"You know, if you keep calling him ancient, he might just become it," I laugh as I get out of the passenger seat and move to the back of her corvette.

"Hey, fellas, either one of you knows where the Smithson is. I'm here to pick up a fossil." She rolls down the window as Steve walks to the car.

"Hilarious," Steve responds.

"Who's your friend," I look over at the man and wave. He waves back with a smile.

"Hey," Nat looks at the man.

"How y'all doing," He seems nice.

"Can't run everywhere," Steve says to the man. "No you can't," the man laughs to himself.

"Who was that?" I ask Steve.

"His name is Sam." He looks back at me and smiles. "He seems nice,"

"The target is a mobile satellite launch platform. The Lemurian Star setting up their last payload about 93 minutes ago when it was taken over by pirates." Rumlow pulls up on the screen.

"Any demands?" I ask. "A billion and a half". Rumlow states.

"Why so steep?" Nat adds.

"Because it's Shield's." Oh great just lovely so we are looking at another clean-up mission by fury again.

"So it's not off course it's trespassing," I look at Steve and Nat.

"I'm sure they have a good reason, '' Nat tells us.

"You know I'm getting tired of being Fury's janitor," Steve adds sarcastically.

"I'll second that," I say in agreement.

"Relax, you two it's not that complicated,'' Nat states.

"How many pirates?" Steve moves from the conversation.

" 25, top mercs led by this guy, George Batroc. Ex-DGSE, Action Division. He's at the top of Interpol's red notice. Before the french demobilized him, he had thirty-six kill missions. This guy has a rep for maximum casualties." Rumlow shows us a picture of him.

"Hostages?"

Rumlow pulls the crew and Jasper Sitwell.

"What is Sitwell doing on a launch ship? Alright, I'm gonna sweep the deck and find Batroc. Nat, you and Rose kill the engines and wait for instructions. Rumlow you sweep aft, find the hostages, get them to the life-pods, get 'em out, let's move." Steve gives our orders.

"Secure channel seven?" Steve tests out the comn.

"Seven secure, you two do anything fun Saturday night?" Nat asks us.

"We watched Star wars he seems to love." I look over Steve, smiling some.

"Yeah, I do have to admit they were good movies." He seems so enthused. We may have fallen asleep through empire strikes back and woken up in each other's arms which was a little awkward but also cozy at the same time. As I said, we are just close friends.

"You know maybe you two should go on a date sometime. Maybe together since you two hang out all the time," Nat would say that now. That girl wants us together so bad but I don't think we should head down that road.

"No we are just- *clears throat* friends" Steve seemed a little hesitant when he said that.

"Besides, we are too busy cleaning up Nick's messes," I click on my parachute as Steve opens the jet door.

"Steve," He turns around and looks at me.

"Be careful," He nods before jumping out. Nat gives me that stare of 'I saw that' 'Shut up,' I mouth to her before jumping out of the jet.

"You think you wanna save the fighting for us" I unhook my parachute walking to Steve who just literally took out half the pirates.

"Trying to take some load off" He looks at me moving closer. I quickly shift myself to nat.

"Well, how about you guys choose a great restaurant, then you two might wanna go on a date," Nat always seems to say things like this at an inconvenient time.

"Eyes on target. You two head down to the engines. Let me know when you are clear." Steve continues moving while Nat and I jump over the rail.

We watch the Man exchange some words over the phone before hanging up. I am right behind him and Nat stands in front

"Hey sailor," Nat bats her eyelashes at him and I take this chance to kick him against the railing while Nat puts him in a chokehold.

We both wrap the railing with the harness allowing us to descend down the case shooting each of the pirates on the levels. Once we reach down, we creep around the corner watching the men.

"Rose status?" Steve comes over on the comm. I look at Nat who signals me not to say anything at the moment cause over cover could get blown.

"Natasha, Rose you copy?" I signal to her it's now or never.

"Hang on," I shout over the comm. I kick the gun out of the first guy, take my pocket knife cutting his arm, and roundhouse kicking him to the ground. The next guy I twist his wrist lift myself up wrapping my legs around his neck and throwing him to the ground. Nat seems to have done the same thing. Sometimes I don't even realize that we are in sync with our moves. "Engine secure."

"Let's go find Rumlow," I move into the direction where he is while Nat goes in the opposite direction.

"Uh nat, it's this way," She turns back at me. "Yeah uh about that..." I know where this is going.

"Fury wanted me to save the intel on this ship." She pulls out a hard drive.

"And you tell me this now." I look at her with a stern voice. This isn't the first time Nick has done this to Nat.

"Listen, just cover for me okay," She gives me that look.

"Okay, just know if Steve finds out he is gonna flip. We both know how he gets when secrets are kept during missions." I remind her.

"Yeah, don't worry I will handle capsule."
