Unexpected

XIII

Steve hotwired a car and they all got in, Steve in the front seat and Natasha shotgun. Nina was more than okay having the back seat all to herself. Natasha had her feet on the dash and Nina was lying down completely, finally having her one hour of sleep.

Yes, wonderful thing about TimeLords; they only need one hour of sleep per day to be functional, not like humans, who need at least five. Neither Steve nor Natasha knew this. They actually knew almost nothing about Time lords at all. Nina wasn't as open as she wished she would be. She just couldn't go around dropping bombs all the way. Hey, did you know that my body is 18°C colder than yours? Did you know that I can die if I consume aspirin? Did you know there was a war in my planet that lasted 400 years, killed 4.5 billion children and ended with me as the only survivor. Oh great, Nina thought. I made myself sad.

They had taken a small break after stopping to go to the bathroom in the nearest pit stop. Steve was finally able to rest his eyes for a few minutes bdfore Natasha decided to start a conversation.

"Where did Captain America learn how to steal cars?" Natasha asked, bringing Nina back from her sleep.

"Nazi Germany," was Steve's reasonable answer. "And I didn't steal it, we're borrowing. Take your feet off the dash." Natasha did so.

"Alright, I have a question for you, oh, which you do not have to answer. I feel like if you don't answer it though, you're kind of answering it, you know?" Nat asked, making Nina smile.

" What?" Steve asked, curious and annoyed.

"Was that your first kiss since 1945?" She asked. Nina snickered from the back seat.

"That bad, huh?" Steve asked her with a smile.

"I didn't say that," Natasha said, defending herself.

"Well that's what it sounds like you're saying," Steve said.

"Don't worry Stevie, we know you didn't get much practice back in the day," Nina played him.

"I don't need practice," Steve told them.

"Everybody needs practice," Natasha answered.

"Shots fired!" Nina joked. Natasha laughed. It almost made them forget that they were all wanted by SHIELD, or Hydra.

"It was not my first kiss since 1945!" Steve informed the two girls. "I'm 95, I'm not dead."

"Hey what's that supposed to mean?" Nina asked mockingly. "Are you saying I'm rusty, Stevie? Is that a challenge?" Steve blushed. He wasn't used to this mindless flirting coming from Nina. As an answer, Natasha pressed a small button on her door and unlocked the car.

"Are you serious right now?" Steve asked. They did have a mission to finish, and they were being followed by hundreds of people from Hydra, but this was gonna take just a minute, and Natasha was more than open to this idea.

Nina got out of the car to her right side, walking a few steps to get to the front door, which she opened.

"Come out," she told Steve in an autoritary tone. Steve hesitated.

"You're waisting our time, we should get going," he decided to say instead of standing up.

"No, you're waiting out time by staying in there. I'm not moving," she told him. Steve frowned. This was a completely different side of Nina that Steve hadn't seen since 1943. She used to flirt with everyone, including him and Howard Stark.  Steve decided it was best for him to just get out of the car. Natasha watched as Steve, the buggest man she knew, followed the orders from a girl half his side.

Nina put both her hands on Steve's cheeks and brought him closer to her face. She pulled back a couple times, teasing him, and then went fully into the kiss. Steve ended up bringing his hands to her waist. It didn't mean anything ti either one of them, but geez it was a good kiss. Nina was the one to pull away from it, walking directly into the car, leaving Steve completely frozen outside for at least five more seconds.

"Who's old and rusty now?" Nina asked once he finally got back into the car.
