Spies

After helping Percy with his quest, I went back to the company. I had a week's worth of paperwork to do. 'It's not easy being a demigod and a CEO of a big company' I sighed.

I met up with Tony a few days later after sorting things out in the company

"You ok?" I asked him "Pepper asked me to see you"

"Yeah, no, I'm fine, Thank you" He told me

"I heard you stopped manufacturing weapons"

He stayed silent for a good few minutes "I saw people killed by the weapons I created, The people I who invented weapons to protect"

I patted him in the shoulder "Jarvis, get us a cup of tea" I stayed silent before saying "It was not your fault that they were killed, they just got into the wrong hands.

"Sir, your tea"

"Thank you, Jarvis"

I passed the cup to him and he held it staring right into it. "I-"

"I know, It's hard Tony but this is reality." I stopped him from talking

"I know you are trying, but what exactly do you want to do?" I continued

He continued to look down at his cup of tea seeming as if he wanted to find something in it

"Tony, only you know what you want, go think about for a while but don't think too long, some people still need you" I told him as I left "

-A few months later-

I heard people talking about a person flying around in a metal suit the past couple days. Part of me knew that it was probably Tony. 'Looks like he got over his emotional trauma after our little talk.' I smiled before looking back at my desk.

I frowned looking at the files right in front of me. "Cortana, what is the meaning of this?"

"Sir, these are the Madam's orders"

"She wants me to pick out a secretary?"

"Yes"

I tapped the table while looking through the files

I came to a file and smiled in amusement. 'looks like Evan won't be able to run away from this one' I thought. "Give me the files for this one. Throw away the rest."

'Does fury still want to spy on us?' I thought while frowning

"Cortana, how many spies have we discovered the past month?"

"Sir, 43 from Hydra, 36 from SHIELD, and 34 from competitors"

"Send the cleanup crew after those from Hydra, fire the ones from SHIELD, and throw out the rest"

"Acknowledged"

"Natalia Romanov" I muttered "I hope you can still run from her this time Evan" I grinned

-2 weeks later-

"Natalia get me a cup of coffee please"

"Yes, Sir"

"Also, bring me a copy of today's newspaper"

She nodded before leaving the room.

"Cortana, clear today's schedule and prepare the Pelican"

"The Pelican is already waiting for you outside, Sir"

"Mmm"

Natalia came back with a cup of coffee and news paper three minutes later.

"Natalia, wait for me outside"

She nodded and left the room again

I quickly drank the cup of coffee, after making sure that there was nothing wrong with it, and put on my jacket as I told Natalia to follow me to the helipad.

I saw the confusion on her face as I told her to get in. A few of my bodyguards also got on. The Pelican took off as soon as the hatch closed. We were taken to the Island that we bought in the Atlantic Ocean.

Thirty minutes later the Pelican landed outside the base and we got off.

-Natasha's POV-

[SHIELD's Aircraft Carrier]

"Natasha, I want you to gather intel from this man, Alex Smith, current CEO of Chrono Industries"

"What kind of intel?"

"Anything, all we know are their names, we don't know anything that comes in and out of that company"

"Did you send spies to infiltrate?"

"We did, but most were kicked out"

-two weeks later-

I managed to infiltrate into the company under the identity of Natalia Romanov. During the past two weeks I have tried to gather more intel but there are guards and cameras at every corner. These guards are not the average joe that you find outside. these guys are good. The technology they have are even more advanced than Tony Starks.

"Natalia, get me a cup of coffee"

"Yes, sir"

"Also, bring me a copy of today's newspaper"

I nodded before leaving the room.

Alex seems like a pretty nice person, but I know that he is incredibly dangerous. Several days ago we were tailed by 5 cars and managed to take them all out by himself in under 10 minutes.

I came back a few moments later with his coffee and newspaper

"Natalia, wait for me outside"

I left the room again and waited for a couple minutes before he came out and told me to follow him. As we were leaving the building, I tried to gather data from my surroundings, but it seems as if the guards were watching me and they followed us outside. Outside, there was an aircraft waiting for us. with four other guards.

He told me to get on, followed by the six other guards that came with us. As we took off he said something that stunned me.

"So, Natalia, or should I say Natasha Romanoff, how long are you going to keep up the act?" He smiled

'How does he know?' I thought before asking "What are you talking about?"

"So Natasha, are really going to keep up with the act?" He asked me again

"How did you know?"

"I have always known, ever since I had your files in front of me"

I stared at him "What do you want?"

"No no, It's what does fury want?"

I kept silent

"Don't worry, we won't kill you" He chuckled "Perhaps what comes next would give you a surprise"

He sounds as if what happens next would give me a surprise

I stayed quiet not saying anything. He stared at me for a while before standing up.

"We're here"

The aircraft landed and the hatch opens

'What-'
