Steve has been in his warehouse with little to do. Mostly he exercises and when possible, goes into the real world. However what's been plaguing his thoughts is Romanoff who he met at the coffee shop. Today he decides to go to the mall. This time he wears a disguise of a cap and sunglasses. He window shops then notices a flash of red and sees Romanoff walking swiftly to a restaurant that serves Thai. He changes his path to head to the restaurant. Once inside he looks for her until he spots her near the back. He walks up to her and asks if he can join her for lunch. She agrees and says "Today I was craving Thai and decided to come to the mall. Im not a big fan of malls. Too many shoppers and too many temptations." Steve nods in agreement. She then looks shocked and says apologetically, "I am so sorry! I just realized I forgot to ask your name." Steve replies "Its ok ma'am, I'm Steve. May I ask what your job is?" she replies easily "I am a business woman at Stark industries and have a side hustle as a model." Steve nods, impressed. They continue to chat, Steve learning that Romanoff's first name is Natalie and she is not a fan of her boss, the billionaire, Tony Stark. Steve avoids questions about his life, but if one does come up, he gives a vague answer and changes the topic. He also learns she was born in 1984 and is an expert in many martial arts, because of how she was raised. They discuss their views on America, inflation, and the latest news stories. He finds out she has a black cat which was a stray. After two hours, Natalie asks for the check, apologizes to Steve for having to leave, pays the tab, then grabs her bag and briskly saunters away. He understands she's likely very busy with her work under Stark. He walks slowly back to his warehouse, savouring the time he got to spend with Natalie and the time away from his lonely warehouse. What Steve doesn't know is he will get to spend more time with Natalie, but he will learn more than he wants to know.
