The Game That Started it All

Mission Ready

Natasha's POV:

I woke up lightly in Steve's arms nightmare free. That was rare. I then realize what had woken me up; it was Steve's snoring. I turn to face him and couldn't help myself from laughing at him, he was still cute when he slept though.

An idea then came to my mind. As I continue to laugh I plug Steve's nose, waiting to see what would happen.

Seconds after he jolts awake and is breathing heavily.

"Jesus christ Nat" He said coughing a bit

I couldn't contain my giggles at his reaction and he looked over at me confused

"What was that for?" He started smiling, trying to act serious

"You snore in your sleep" I laugh resting my head in my hand while laying down

"No I don't!"

"Yeah you do, so loud you woke me up" I smirk at him

He looked offended but couldn't help but chuckle at himself. He shook his head and smiled, meeting my gaze

"I don't snore" He repeats shoving a pillow in my face

"Yes you do now get off of me" I laugh, pushing the pillow away

I then hear some creaking from the vents above. Steve and I look at each other and then at the roof. Knowing what was about to happen, we mentally prepare ourselves for a yelling Clint crashing down into Steve's room.

"Morning sleepyheads!" Clint said, landing on his feet this time

"Practiced your landings huh?" I say while raising an eyebrow at him

"Yeah you bet. Anyways, we have a mission" He said throwing some files at us

"Who's going?" I ask scanning over the information

"All of us. Seems pretty intense this time, I was supposed to go back and see Laura and the kids so we better finish this quickly" He said crossing his arms

"Ok when do we go?" Steve asks looking up at him

"We leave tomorrow, but Fury requested we have a big training session all together today" Clint sighs clearly annoyed

"Well training with all of us together won't be as bad, it's fun because we never get any work done anyways" I laugh excited about training with everybody

"Yeah well get ready, training starts in 10 minutes" Clint says walking out the door

I nod at him as he leaves the room and I look back to the file.

And then I saw it. The big letters that read KGB. My eyes widened and my breathing quickened. Steve notices my panic and gives me a worried look.

"Nat are you ok? What's wrong?" He said turning to me and putting a hand on my back

I felt mute. I was panicking and not hiding my emotions well. But for once I didn't seem to care.

KGB, The Red Room, all the memories came flooding back as I continued to read the mission directives. Fury wants us to capture some people from there that have information we need. God damn it.

"Nat? Natasha look at me" Steve said, putting his hand under my chin so our eyes meet

"What's wrong Natasha?" He asks calmly

"I-um.." I stutter not knowing where to start

"Let's just go, we're gonna be late for training" I say changing the subject and rushing out of Steve's room to get to my own. I needed to get this off my mind and get training.
