Natasha walked into the precinct with a large box in her hands. She saw Rogers and Wilson on their desks. Wilson saw her.

"What are those?" he asked.

"Barton's greatest hits. We are going to familiarize ourselves with every murder scene in his books so we don't miss any. First victim female, Psychologist and the second a male, small time broker. These are connected in these books somewhere." said Natasha.

Wilson giggled. "From the library of Natasha Romanoff." he said.

"Do you have a problem with reading, Wilson?" said Natasha in a cool voice.

"Well check out, Nat. you are totally a fan." said Steve.

Natasha flushed a little. "Yeah, of the genre." said, a little flustered.

"yeah, is that why you are blushing?" said Wilson in an amused voice.

Natasha snatched the book out of his hands. She said, "Psychological profiling indicates a person with low intelligence who thinks he has or had a personal relationship with the author. So this is where we start."

She gave the book back to Wilson and turned to leave.

She heard footsteps behind her. She knew it was Steve.

She looked at Steve and said, "What?"

"I work with dead people all day. The last thing I want to do is read murder books when I go home." said Steve.

"Aren't you curious? About how can people do this to someone." said Natasha holding up the picture of the crime scene. "Whoever did this read Barton's books and somewhere in those books is a clue as to where he'll strike next." she finished.

"OK." said Steve.

Natasha came with two uniforms that carried Barton's fan mail. She told an officer to take them to the Briefing Department.

"Any finger prints?" Natasha asked Wilson.

"None, our guy is careful." said Wilson.

"Any connection between our victims?" asked Natasha.

"Other than your boy there, none." said Wilson gesturing somewhere behind her.

Natasha turned and saw Barton talking to Fury.

"What is he doing here?" she asked in a cold voice.

"Who knows? Maybe he likes you." said Wilson.

"Detective Romanoff, a word." said Fury.

"Captain." said Natasha.

Fury called her to his office.

"Yes sir." she said.

"Mr Barton has offered to assist with the investigation." said Fury.

"Really." said Natasha in a sarcastic tone.

"It's the least I can do for the city that I love." said Barton enthusiastically.

"Considering the nature of the crime scenes, I think it's a good idea." said Fury.

Fury turned to leave when Natasha hastily called to him, "Sir, can we talk in private?" she said. She glared a little at Barton, who just smirked at her.

"Nope." said Fury.

Barton came in front of her and smirked.

"Looks like we are working together." he said.

Natasha just glared at him.

Now she had to put up with his annoying presence.

It's going to be a long day.
