⠀⠀⠀⠀"How does it feel, Natasha?" Mr. Stark called. ⠀⠀⠀⠀I zipped up the back and stepped out of the bathroom. ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Perfect. Thank you, Mr. Stark." I pushed back my hair and looked in the long mirror hanging in the hall. ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Anything for your family," he said simply. "And here, I found this in storage." ⠀⠀⠀⠀"You kept a vibranium shield in storage?" I joked, testing the weight. ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Where will you look first?" He asked as we walked to the foyer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Shield seems the best place to start," I answered as I placed the shield on my back. ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Good luck then," he rubbed his hands together. ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Is...Tony here?" ⠀⠀⠀⠀He nodded, "Asleep upstairs." ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Tell him I'm sorry about that fight," I looked down at my boots. "It was immature and wrong of me." ⠀⠀⠀⠀"It was he who was wrong." ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Still, I provoked him," I shrugged and opened the door. "I hope to see you soon." ⠀⠀⠀⠀I threw open the door to the main hall of Shield, having used Mum's pass to get inside the facility. ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Get me every piece of information on Red Skull and Hydra!" I yelled, walking down the main aisle of desks. "And bring it to Margaret Carter's office." ⠀⠀⠀⠀Heads turned, shock and confusion on every face. I knew I stood out, wearing one of Dad's suits. They probably wondered who I was. ⠀⠀⠀⠀I pushed open Mum's office door, my eyes falling on the one picture of Dad. I sighed, knowing there should be more pictures of him, with Mum and me in them. But, secrecy was key. ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Here, Ms. Rogers," a young man walked in, carrying a banker box. "Everything we have on Red Skull and Hydra." ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Thank you," I nodded and smiled. ⠀⠀⠀⠀He hesitated before leaving, "Is there...any particular reason for your visit?" ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Private matters," I answered without looking up from the file I started reading. I was going to find something. ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Do you drink coffee, Ms. Rogers?" Again, the man entered the office about an hour later. "It is quite late." ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Yes..." I peered at his name tag, "Joe." ⠀⠀⠀⠀He smiled, "I'll get you some then." ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Thank you," I smiled. "And call me Natasha." ⠀⠀⠀⠀When he left, I spotted information on a Hydra group located near my own home. Red Skull had to be there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Sorry, Joe, but I've gotta be somewhere," I apologized as I passed him in the hall. ⠀⠀⠀⠀He looked surprised, and I could feel his eyes on me as I went to the main entrance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀"Can someone get me a motorcycle?" I asked someone in the yard of vehicles. ⠀⠀⠀⠀My request was quickly filled, and I rode out of the base on a small motorcycle, the directions to my desired location held in my left hand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀"I'm coming, Dad."
