Chapter 2 - Alone

Natasha and Sabrina walked over to the bar. "Are you even legal to drink?" She asked Sabrina with a firm tone.

"I guess?" She answered softly.

Natasha just shakes her head and takes a bottle of scotch on the shelves and poured for three glasses.

"Here, don't over drink" she said as she walked over to Steve in the lounge area with two glasses of scotch.

"Heyy fossil, what are you looking at?" Natasha said teasingly.

Steve look at Natasha concerned. "I was looking at you actually" he replied with a soft smile.

Natasha hands him the glass filled with scotch, "Sorry I walked off" she said in a soft tone.

"No it's okay, I understand" Steve reply with a smile as he takes a sip of the scotch.

They look at each other with a soft smile as they both sip the scotch together. As they were sipping their drink they heard a voice in the background talking, "Since when did Capsicle started drinking?" Tony teased Steve as he walks towards them.

Steve and Natasha just giggled as Tony joined to sat down with them, "Hey about the new kid, where she from?" Steve asked Tony.

Tony shrugged his shoulders, "Heard she's from Atlanta" Tony said while taking a sip of his drink.

Natasha was looking over at Sabrina who's talking to Peter nearby the bar. "You boys get along, I'm gonna go get a refill" Natasha said as she got up and walked off.

She walked towards the bar to get a refill, while she was doing so, someone came up to her, "Do you mind pouring me a drink?" the voice asked nicely.

She turned to see who it was, it's was Wanda Maximoff. "Sure, just don't go around telling people I give out free drinks" Natasha replied as she chuckled.

"Looks like you got a side job working as the bartender" Sabrina said as she walked towards Natasha and Wanda.

Natasha smirked at Sabrina. "You talk too much" She said to Sabrina as she walked off and sat back down with Steve and Tony.

"What'd she say to you?" Steve asked Natasha.

"Nothing much, she asked for a glass of scotch" Natasha reply.

As she was drinking peacefully she heard a voice shouting. "We'll land in 5 mins" said the female voice.

"Thanks Maria" Fury shouted back, the female voice belonged to Maria Hill, a S.H.E.I.L.D. agent.

Natasha just sat down quietly and watch as everyone is getting their stuffs ready to board off the plane. She quickly finished her drink and got up to go get her suitcase.

"Finally we're off the airbus, I was starting to get airsick" Peter exclaimed.

"This place feels familiar" Sabrina thought to herself.

"Where's Sam and Bucky?" Steve asked Clint.

"They're on their way here with the rest" Clint replied.

Sabrina looked confused and went to Natasha, "Who else is coming?" she asked.

"The rest" Natasha said smirking as she walked off.

Everyone walked out of the airport and stood outside the airport entrance. "I got news from Fury, our transportation is on its way to pick us up and send us to our temporary base" Clint informed his teammates.

A few minutes went by, their transportation finally arrived, a travel bus fetch them and they got on the bus. "This certainly doesn't feel like mission, but more like a holiday" Sabrina said smirking.

The bus drive off to their designated location.

Peter walked towards Sabrina and awkwardly stood next to her smiling. "You're Peter Parker right?" Sabrina asked.

Peters eyes light up, "You know me?" He asked.

Sabrina smiled and nodded her head, "We have Chemistry together, Chemistry as in the subject" She answered with a little giggle at the end.

Peter giggled a little and smiled at Sabrina.

"You're the kid that's always secretly mixing something up, guess I know why now" Sabrina said with cheeky smile.

They continued their small talk and even started joking around with each other.

"Didn't know they knew each other" Said Tony to Steve as he's observing them from afar.

Steve smirked.

A few minutes went by, they finally arrived at their destination. They arrived in a small town in Virginia. There was a house prepared for their stay by the mayor of the town. They got off their travel bus and stood in-front of the house, staring at it unamused.

"I thought you said 'temporary base' Clint" Natasha said as she stared at Clint unsatisfied.

"Don't ask me, ask Fury" Clint said as he proceed to enter a the house.

It was a pretty huge house, a prefect size for the Avengers to stay. They all got into the house and took a look around but Sabrina was hesitant about entering the house, "Whose house is this?" She asked bluntly.

"It's Tony's. He probably bought it" Steve said looking at Tony.

"Don't stand there like a statue, come in" Tony said inviting Sabrina into the house.

Sabrina timidly walked into the house, and walked towards Natasha who's sitting on the sofa. She sat next to Natasha and awkwardly smiled at her.

As Natasha was about to ask Sabrina a question, she sees a portal opening up on the wall and a group of people coming out with someone leading them, it turns out the person leading them out is Dr Stephen Strange, "We have made quite an entrance" he said.

Sabrina looked stunned, "Did I just witness that for real?!" She thought to herself.

Natasha smirked as she looked over at Sabrina who's in disbelief by what she saw. Seconds went by and another person came out of the portal.

"Hello my fellow friends I have arrived in Midgard" said a guy with a rough English accent.

"Glad everyone could make it" Natasha said.

"Thi- this is our base?" Bruce asked.

"Believe me I asked the same thing" Natasha said as she gave Clint the side eye.

"Wasn't expecting this" Sam said with an awkward smile on his face.

Bucky agreed and nodded his head in return.

"I was hoping for more from someone who owns a company" Said Pietro with a hint of sarcasm and annoyance in his voice.

Tony just awkwardly stood there and looked at Pietro. "Пиетро, ​​престани" Wanda said as she nudged Pietro with her elbow. (Пиетро, ​​престани = Pietro, stop it)

There was a long silence, right after Pietro said that. Everyone didn't know what else to say, they were just awkwardly looking at each other before Tony decided to break the silence. "Where you off to next Wizard?" Tony asked.

Strange turned to face Tony, "I'm heading to Wakanda, they're analysing Vision there" Strange said.

"Point Break are you following our Wizard back?" Tony asked Thor.

"Midgard is astonishing, but I would like to see the man with stone in his head" Thor exclaimed.

"Thor, Wilson and Barnes are coming to Wakanda with me" Strange said informing the Avengers.

"The Wakandans will assist us and they will update us regarding anything" Steve said.

Just as Steve said what he wanted to say, he heard whisperings from the corner of the room, he turned and saw Sabrina and Peter whispering about something that seemed pretty serious. "Spit it out Parker" Natasha demanded.

"I've got a question Captain sir, it- it's actually Sabrina's question" Peter stuttered.

He was struggling to get the words to come out of his mouth, because he was too nervous as he was talking to Steve Rogers. The Captain America.

Everyone laid their attention towards Peter and Sabrina, hoping for them to say what they wanted to say.

Peter looked at Sabrina hoping she'd say something "Well urmm actually, I was wondering.. Who are the Wa- Wakandans?" Sabrina asked stuttering.

Everyone looked at Sabrina blankly. "That's a question for another time" Strange said.

"And Steve's got to brief everyone regarding our mission" Natasha added on.

Sabrina looked as if she wasn't pleased with the answer she got from both Strange and Natasha but she brushed it off.

Natasha walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to get a drink, seconds later Bucky walked in and stood behind her. "Natalia.." Bucky said sombrely.

Natasha took her drink and closed the refrigerator. "Guess that 2 years in Wakanda did you some good" Natasha said teasingly as she left the kitchen.

Bucky stood there with a small smirk as he watched Natasha left his sight.

"Romanoff, the Wizard is going back, where's the Manchurian Candidate?" Tony ask sarcastically.

Natasha looked slightly confused.

"Here" Bucky said as he walked out of the kitchen.

Bucky walked towards Sam, Strange and Thor. Strange uses his magic to open a portal and he walked through it with Thor, Sam and Bucky following him.

Bucky was looking at Natasha as he walked through the portal. Natasha gave soft smirk as the portal closed.

Steve immediately ushered everyone to gather and they quickly gathered around in the living room and got ready for the briefing. Right after everyone was ready, Steve started the briefing.

"Hydra is at it again, first they threatened the people of Sokovia, now they're after something in Virginia and we believe they're not working alone" Steve said with a firm tone.

"We have to lay low here for as long as we can and not seem suspicious" Natasha added on.

Everyone was listening very attentively but Sabrina seems very distraught, it seems as if something's bothering her. Natasha noticed how Sabrina's acting but she's got to put her head in the game and focus on the mission.

"Fury has assigned the teams and has instructed me to send different teams out on different days to walk around the town and have a look around. The mission starts in two days, further informations will be given out on the mission day itself" Steve said with a serious tone.

"Rooms have been prepared, now go to sleep, good night and no clogging of toilets" Tony said as he walked off to head to his room.

Everyone proceeds to go to their rooms, but Sabrina was the only one still sitting on the sofa. Natasha went to approach her, "Stressing over something?" Natasha asked Sabrina

Sabrina shook her head in disagreement, "Just thinking" She reply blankly.

"Don't sleep too late, we still gotta get our things ready tomorrow morning" Natasha said as she walked off to her room.

Sabrina just smiled and wait till Natasha left, she was waiting for everyone to head to their rooms, so she can proceed to do the things she had to do.

She secretly left the house without anyone knowing and head off. A few minutes of walking went by and she finally reached her destination, she knocked on the front door of the house and waited for someone to open the door. Suddenly the door opened by surprise, "I'm back love" Sabrina said with an evil smirk on her face.

It's was about 9:15 am, everyone was wide awake by then. Tony and Steve was sitting in the dining room drinking coffee when they heard a breathy voice talking.

"Good morning everyone" Peter said with a breathy voice as he was stretching and walking down from his room.

"Why is she sleeping on the couch?" Peter asked referring to Sabrina lying down snugged like a baby.

Steve turned to look at Tony and Tony just shrugged his shoulders as he proceed to walk into the living room. While walking he sees Natasha leaving her room in a hurry and proceeds to leave the house. "Leaving so soon?" Tony asked Natasha.

"Just leaving for the mission early" she said as she rushed out of the house.

Steve looked confused and worried. "I'm going after her, Peter you take care of Sabrina, you too Tony" Steve said as he rush off to chase Natasha.

"Kid you watch over her" Tony said as he went up to his room.

Peter stood there confused. "Why do I get the babysitting job" he said as he walked into the kitchen and made something to eat for himself.

Steve was running out of the house and after Natasha, "Hey Romanoff, where you headed" Steve asked Natasha panting for breath.

Natasha continued walking towards her motorbike and completely ignored Steve behind her. She reaches her motorbike and took her helmet. "Like I said before, I'm just heading for the mission early" she said as she put her helmet on and got on the bike.

Steve stood in-front of Natasha's bike, "You can tell me things you know" he said with a soft tone.

Natasha just looked at Steve and took her helmet off. "I'm off to the town square, I heard someone was killed last night, and I wanted some fresh air" she said as she carefully got off her bike.

Steve look a little concerned and walk away from Natasha, he walked towards his car and opened the passenger door, "Get in the car Romanoff" He said.

Natasha gave Steve an affiliative smile and walked towards Steve's car. She got inside and fastened her seatbelts. Steve quickly walked to the drivers side and got in. He immediately stepped on the gas and drove off.

As they were driving, Natasha turned to Steve and looked at him. "What's wrong?" He asked her.

"Nothing's wrong, just admiring that 90 year old face of yours" Natasha said while turning away to hide her cheeky smirk.

Steve just smiled and kept his eyes on the road and kept driving. Seconds later, Natasha turned back to Steve, "Hey Rogers, thank you for helping me and being concerned in general" Natasha said thanking Steve.

Natasha turn to look out the window and smiled. Steve turn to see Natasha looking out. He smiled and turn back to face the road. Both of them spent the whole trip smiling in silence.
