*Natasha's point of view*

The jet ride took forever. Tony was acting as the pilot even though we all knew he has Autopilot on. I had Clint on one side of me and the window on the other. Bucky, Sam and Rhodey sat on the other side of the jet. Rhodey dressed in his usual attire for when he puts on his 'war machine' suit, its basically a down-grade of Tony's suit, just black and grey. Sam was fast asleep and Bucky was holding back the laughter while drawing a fake moustache and beard on Sam, they are five year olds I swear.

I stared absent-mindedly out of the glass, looking over the cities we passed and the clouds we hovered over. Fluffy clouds and peaceful cities did not express my feelings. I imagined myself in hell, literal hell. The devil laughing at my tortured corpse. The tears streaming down my face. I had shown weakness, that's why I was being tortured. That is my mindset. You show weakness, your dead. It can be used against you, or more importantly, the people you love.

My head rested on the uncomfortable wall of the jet. I felt a hand cover mine and when I turned, I saw a worried Clint and Wanda staring at me.
"Nat, are you okay? You've been staring out the window for at least 2 hours!" Clint shared, worry seeping into his voice uncontrollably.
"I'm fine." I reply with a weak smile and attempt to turn back to the window when Wanda's soft hands latched on to my leg, she tightened her muscles to give me a slight squeeze of reassurance.
"Natasha. We know you better than that. What's on your mind?" Wanda raised her eyebrows and stared me out until I finally let go of my inner feelings.
"Its this whole mission. Its driving me insane. I don't even know if he's alive! If I go in to that building and see him... there, I won't be able to control myself. I'm just..."
"Scared." They say in unison. Damn. They did know me too well.
"Okay, yeah I am. And if he is alive, what if he hates me? What if he doesn't share the same feelings? What if he-"
"Natasha, Shut. Up. Stop thinking of the worst case scenario and think of what will happen if he does share the same feelings! Hes alive, okay? I can feel it." Clint interrupted my verbal argument with myself. He has to be right, right? I smiled and looked down at my fingers. "See? You know I'm right!" Clint laughed and nudged me into the wall.
"Shut up, asshole! That's the one time you can tell me to shut up because otherwise I would've knocked you out!" I laughed, nudging him off his chair and on to the floor.
"What's going on?" Sam asked, rising from his slumber. Bucky was laughing his head off, about the fact that Clint got his ass kicked and Sam has a moustache!
"Wilson! You gone through puberty while you slept?" Wanda laughed along with Bucky and now Rhodey as well, I couldn't help but laugh too.
"What you on about Maximoff? Why is Bucky crying?" Sam's eyebrows furrowed as he watched Bucky shrink down to the floor.
"I got a stitch!" Bucky yelped out from his laughter. It made us all laugh harder!
"Seriously! What are you laughing at?!" Sam yelled. Clint was sitting on the floor laughing his head off with us all.
"Clint got his Ass kicked and you've finally grown some facial hair!!" Bucky yelled. We all laughed as Sam stood up and stomped over to one of the mirrors we have at the side of the jet for when we do Undercover Operations.
"BUUUCCCKKKYYYYYYYY!!" Sam yelled and we all were now on the floor laughing. All but me. I still had Steve on my mind but this was indeed hilarious.
"Yes Sam?" Bucky replied, finally coming to an end of his laughing streak. 
"You really are a Dickhead." Sam said, desperately licking his finger and rubbing his upper and lower lip viciously.
"Well, I never! If Mr America was here to hear you say that, I'm sure he will be very mad!" Bucky said, his laughter stopped. My laughter stopped. The others joined the silence. The truth is we are all suffering from his absence. I miss him like crazy. Bucky and Sam were great friends of his and Tony was his Best Friend.
"Uhh... Nat, I'm sorry." Bucky apologised, looking down at his fingers. Why is he apologising? Then I realise that a teardrop is travelling down my roses cheeks and it was making itself visible for everyone on the jet.
"Don't apologise, Buck. It's me." I smiled, wiping the tear from existence.
"I hate to spoil your awkward silence but we're approaching the building. Grab your kit. This place looks heavily armed so be prepared. Nat and Clint, we'll drop you by the Danube." Tony called out from the Cockpit. Okay. This is it.

Clint gathers his bow and arrow, a few guns and a few knives to be safe. I reach into my bag and pull out two more guns and a knife, which I place in my boot. Deep breathes.

"Everyone familiar with the plan?" I yell, trying to wipe the fear.
"Yes!" They yelled out in Unison all gathering there own weaponry.
"I'll go over it again just to make sure." Tony landed the jet on the edge of the Danube and joined us in the main section of the jet.
"Me and Clint will go in through the secret underground passages to find Steve. We will kill anyone we see. We believe he is in one of these rooms so I just hope he is. The rest you go in hard at the main entrance. Make a scene. A big scene. Tony can do that when he's downed a bottle of whiskey but we got no whiskey at the moment!" I said, and everyone laughed. "Once we have Steve, we will come out front and get him to the Jet as soon as possible. He is most likely... hurt so we have to have medical on standby back at the tower. We find whoever this person is and we take them down, once and for all. This is the end of the kidnapping and all the other shit they have dragged us through. We don't leave until the base is taken down. If anyone gets injured, let one of us know. We'll tell you the situation on Steve. Everyone get that?" When all of the crew nod their heads, me and Clint begin picking up our stuff.

"Be careful you two." Wanda smiled, hugging us both tightly.
"We'll be fine, dont worry. You take care." Clint said back and Wanda nodded in agreement.
"You tell me how Steve is. You tell him everything, Nat, even if he doesn't feel the same way. He deserves to know." Tony said, hugging me tight and giving Clint a handshake.
"I will, don't worry. We've really got to go. Be careful!" I yelled.

The jet left us standing in the dark, on the edge of a creepy Romanian forest. The sun was rising here due to the time difference from America. The whole place was so beautiful.
"Come on, Nat. Let's find your Boyfriend." Clint said, walking off into the woods. I followed him.
"Let's go get him."
