ANASTASIA IS QUIETLY CROUCHED on the floor. Her eyes scan from the sparkly gold ornament in her hand, to the flashy green tree. She doesn't really celebrate Christmas, but since it's Steve's first time in the 21st century, she figured she'd make something of it.
14th of December, that's when she gets back in the field with her first mission. So, the super spy won't be with Steve during Christmas.

''You're Christian, you can't say that. Especially on Christmas.''
''Can it, Romanoff.'' He mocks as he raises his eyebrows slightly.
But Steve doesn't keep his eyes off of the large Christmas tree in front of him.
''How is it so.. perfect?'' He asks as he walks towards the tree.
''It's fake.'' Anastasia deadpans. ''Oh,'' Steve shrugs.
His eyes are slightly wide, the tree is full of dozens of shining colourful ornaments - he's used to maybe 10 little wooden pieces.
