"i've seen you somewhere."
"maybe cause i was known as the winter soldier?
"no, not because of that. i've seen you somewhere else while i was being trained. do you know what the red room is?"

ALEXA WAS SITTING in her office, completing some mission reports that she never got the chance to finish. her fingers tapped methodically against her desk, looking up from the tablet to look out the window. all the offices had a beautiful view, alexa still getting used to the fast transition of the loud city to the quiet upstate.
there was a patterned knock on her door, head turning to look at her door.
"come in!" she watched the door swing up, steve on the other side in a dark blue sweater and grey pants. she gave him smile, steve walking in and shutting the door behind him.
"hey steve, what's up?" she finished typing her last sentence before turning off the tablet to give steve her undivided attention.
"hey lex, just came to ask if you finished the reports." he sat in the extra chair she had in the room, alexa nodding her head. steve watched her eyes scan his face quickly.
"just now actually, yet i know you didn't come in here to ask me about the reports." she leaned forward, hands interlocked on the desk infront of her.
"talk to me steve." steve sighed, looking out the window before back at alexa. his arms were crossed over his chest.
"there's a meeting in the conference room in fifteen. it's urgent." steve stood up, dusting his pants off. eyebrows raised, she said okay nonetheless. steve left without another word, alexa leaning back in her chair. she sighed, pushing stray baby hairs out of her face.

alexa stepped out of the elevator, seeing steve, bucky, sam, natasha and wanda. steve was standing at the end of the conference room table, holographic images projected behind him. she quickly took a seat next to sam, her stealing a quick glance to bucky. he gave her a small, warm smile in which she returned.
steve explained what was going on, the five listening intently. it was a recon mission at some club in brooklyn. there was supposed to be some large arms deal that was supposed to be occurring. it was undercover, the six having to be paired off into couples.
"don't you even think about pairing me with barnes." sam crossed his arms over his chest, bucky raising a brow out at him while looking at him with his winter solider stare.
"oh shut up wilson, it's a nightmare to be paired with you anyways." "hm well why don't you make me shut up then barnes?"
the banter would've continued, yet steve angrily told them to stop. it didn't mean they still didn't send glares to one another that they both knew the other didn't mean.
