Chapter 6: Meeting Black Widow

By the time that I stop talking Steve has stopped the car and is staring at me. "If you're a hacker than why don't you just delete you're file, then you're a ghost?" I laugh, and not just a chuckle a full on hysteric laugh. "Oh, I wish it were that easy" I say and suddenly begin to get serious and my mouth straightens into a line instead of a smile. Why don't I? Why can't I? "Because I'm not some unknown face in a database I'm an active case and real people are looking for me...Sorry about the rhyming, that was unintended" he looks at me with sadness plastered on his face, "Why are you telling me all this?"

That is not a question I can answer in five minutes, or in an hour, because I can't answer it, because I have no answer. Something within me just knows that if I trust him and I tell him these things, that my life will be changed. And maybe some part of me is telling him all this so I can befriend the great Captain America, hero. So that when I show my face, people will actually see me like him, a hero and not as a criminal from England, who escaped prison.

"I don't know, but I am" I whisper and get out of the car that has been parked down the street for a good part of ten minutes. "Whoa, where are you going?" Steve, shout-whispers as I start walking away. I turn to him to get hit in the face with a hat and sweater, "A disguise? Really?" I say as I pull the hat down over my eyes and the sweater over my tank top, which is covered in dirt, stupid plane explosion. Steve walks passed me and begins dragging me along. "We just need to get something" he says as we enter the elevator, "No no no, you need to get something because I have no idea what you're getting."

Steve just looks at me and laughs, "You know you're humour is actually growing on me, you're not annoying anymore"

I just glare at him, but soon I join in on his chuckle as I amuse myself with his joke. I think we're actually bonding.

"Would you consider me a friend Captain?" I ask as the elevator dings and the doors slide open.

"Maybe, but I don't know you well enough yet" he whispers as we walk out of the elevator.

"Were you not there when I divulged my life story to you?" I whisper harshly.

We're now heading towards a vending machine. "Of course I was, but that's history, I need to know who you are" he says as he smirks at me.

I feel as though he just quoted me, did I not just think that earlier? Did I not say those exact words about a day ago! Does he have some mind reading powers that I'm not aware of?

I try to hide my surprise by doing the best thing I can, make a witty comment! "Alright Captain, we can play 20 questions at a later time, ok?" I say as we stand in front of a vending machine and that's when the Captain's eyes go wide, wider than Queen Victoria's underpants. He is staring right at a the only empty spot in the machine.

Then I hear the pop of bubble gum and spot a female face in the reflection of the glass. She's gorgeous with bright green eyes and super red hair. Girlfriend? Probably not. Spy? Probably so. Steve whips around and grabs her and me by the arm and pulls us into the room across the hall.

He shoves the ginger against the wall angrily, "Where is it?" he whispers harshly.

"Safe" she answers.

"Do better" he retorts. Great, well it doesn't look like I'll be apart of this conversation.

"Where did you get it?" She asks firmly. This may take a while.

"Why would I tell you?" For goodness sakes, what is this about! Why is he so angry about some missing bubble gum!

I begin to zone out when her eyes go wide with realization, "Fury gave it to you, why?" Fury? I know that name.

"Steve I know who that is" I whisper tapping him on the shoulder. They both turn their heads to me, unimpressed.

"What's on it?" he asks wasting no time on me.

"I don't know"

"Stop lying" he says, his voice rising, he's pissed.

"I only act like I know everything Rogers" she responds, more aggressively than him. Oh now I remember her, she's the one who made the comment about Steve being a fossil back when I first met (stalked) Steve. I still like her humour.

"But you knew Fury hired the Pirates?" Now I'm really out of the conversation, I'm assuming that this is something they know about and I am unaware of. Ok I'll just zone out for now.

They had one moment of useless information until things got interesting again.

"I know who killed Fury" That's when both Steve and I listened closely. She glanced over at me cautiously and then continued. "Most of the intelligence community doesn't believe he exists, but the ones that do call him the Winter Soldier. He's credited with over two dozen assassinations within the last 50 years." So he's the man with the metal arm, the Winter Soldier. Kind of a sexy name, except for the two dozen assassinations thing.

Well this is interesting, how can one person be committing all of these murders without getting older and thus less effective, he just seems to be more lethal.

The ginger begins talking about her encounter with the Winter Soldier and how we can't possibly hope to find him. It's a dead end, she says.

She then takes something out of her pocket and shows it to the Captain, it's a fancy looking USB, "Like I said, he's a ghost story."

Steve takes the drive and then looks at me, "Well let's find out what the ghost wants" he grabs my arm and leads me away when the ginger grabs my other arm.

I don't feel like tug of war today guys, I think to myself. "Who's she?" she asks talking to the Captain.

"A friend" he responds and looks at me with a smirk.

I look back at the ginger, "Who are you?" I ask taking my arm out of her grasp and folding my arms.

She smiles and extends her hand, "Natasha, the Black Widow." She pauses and looks up at Steve, "What is she your girlfriend now? I wanted to set you up. Some first date huh?" she says laughing at the Captain. "No I'm a sidekick" I say stepping in front of her. Really girlfriend? Is that really what she thinks I am?

"Really, she probably can't even kick? Why are you taking her over me?" Natasha asks pushing passed me and walking towards Steve. He smirks at me and I create a golden rope that wraps around her legs and pulls he to the floor then I flip her onto her back with ropes tied to her hands. "That's what I can do" I say and to add effect I create a golden orb in the palm of my hand. She giggles, ya giggles at me, "Wow! Mind if I tag along?" she asks and I look up at Steve who is just as surprised as I am. Great now I have two new friends.
