Goddess | Natasha Romanoff

Chapter 9: Bucky?

Senator Stern and Jasper Sitwell walk out of a building after a meeting, talking amongst one another "Listen, I gotta fly home tonight, cause uh...I got some constituency problem, and I gotta press the flesh" Stern says

"Any constituent in particular, Mr. Senator?" Sitwell asks

"Uh...no, not really. Twenty-three, kind of hot. Real hot. You know, wants to be a reporter, I think. I don't know, who listens at that point?"

"Doesn't sound much of a problem to me"

"Really? Cause she's killing my back. Look, this isn't the place to talk about it" Stern says, he leans forward and touches Sitwell's pin on his jacket "This is a nice pin" he adds

"Thank you" Sitwell replies

"Come here" they embrace and as they do Stern whispers to Sitwell "Hail, HYDRA" as Stern steps away he touches his back "See, it's right there..."

"I just saw that, yeah" Sitwell says

"Should I get it checked?" Stern asks

"I think you should" Stern walks away, Sitwell gets a call from Pierce, Sitwell turns to his men "I need a minute. Bring the car around" his men leave and Sitwell answers the phone "Yes, sir?"

"Agent Sitwell, how was lunch? I hear the crab cakes here are delicious" Sam says

"Who is this?" Sitweel asks confused, fear seeping its way in.

"The good looking guy in the sunglasses, your ten o'clock" Sitwell looks around but doesn't see him. "Your other ten o'clock" Sitwell turns the other way and sees Sam sitting a few feet away from him "There you go" sam says, lifting his drink up, smiling

"What do you want?"

"You're gonna go around the corner, to your right. There's a grey car, two spaces down. You and I are gonna take a ride" Sam offers

"And why would I do that?"

"Because that tie looks really expensive, and I'd hate to mess it up" sam offers, Sitwell looks down at his tie and sees a small red light from the gun being pointed at him.

The group get sitwell away and up a building, Steve throws Sitwell across a rooftop, Natasha follows behind him, Aloisia next to her

"Tell me about Zola's algorithm" Steve demands angrily

"Never heard of it" Sitwell is definitely not a good liar, its obvious he knows a good amount about the algorithm

"What were you doing on the Lemurian Star?" Steve demands

"I was throwing up, I get seasick" Steve forces Sitwell to the edge of the rooftop, Sitwell just smiles "Is this little display meant to insinuate that you're gonna throw me off the roof? Because it's really not your style, Rogers"

"You're right. It's not. It's hers" Steve says slowly as he smooths down Sitwell suit, stepping out of the way to let Natasha come closer, she kicks Sitwell off the roof. He plummets down, screaming loudly, his arms flailing

"Oh, wait. What about that girl from accounting, Laura...?" Natasha continues to casually talk to Steve about his relationships once more

"Lillian. Lip piercing, right?"

"Oh yeah, I know her" Aloisia adds

"Yeah, she's cute" Nat says smiling

"Yeah, I'm not ready for that" Aloisia laughs at his words

"I figured you wouldn't be" Al says grinning, she knew steve would still have his old soul

Sam, in his Falcon jet-pack suit with wings, flies up holding Sitwell and throws him down on the roof. Aloisia had easily entered the shadow realm, got the pack and brought it with her, casually handing it to Steve to give to sam. She wasn't ready to discuss her abilities with the man just yet.
