Alex POV

'That's the 99th customer today, so far so good although I have to wonder why a lot of my customers are females, not that there is any problem with that but it's just that I feel violated somehow' I thought 'well enough of that, still got a lot of customers I'll think about it later'

My coffee's are pretty well recieved and earlier, one even ordered 15 cups of coffee in one go

I was in the counter when my cliche sense tingles "There's a disturbance in the force" I muttered

I look to the door as it open and enter a sexy red head 'ah fuck'

Ah Fuck indeed as the one who came in was mutherfucking black widow herself, this is not good, seeing me at the counter Black widow's eye sparkled 'that's definitely not good' she sat on a table closest to the window and waited there with sparkling eyes

'Oh my god why is she staring at me like that? does she know? No it can't be that Athena's too good to slip and what's with that nod of satisfaction? Its like she just strip me naked with her eyes' I thought as one of my employee approach her to take her order

She look towards Marcus; one of my employee then glared "not you, I want your boss here right now and also a Café latte"

Marcus seems disturb with the look Natasha's giving him 'damn it, the boss attracts the crazy ones' "I-I'm sorry m-miss but the boss is kinda b-busy..."

Her glare got harder "get. Him. Here. Now."

The whole shop quieted and Natasha continued to glare at the poor lad "Eep..." Marcus squeals like a girl and slowly back off "o..oka..y miss.."

Marcus hurriedly made his way towards me then said "Boss, What the fuck is she your Ex?! She's really scary!"

"Fuck no!? I ain't playing with a tigress like that, who do you think I am Tony Stark? I prefer the quite ones..." I said as I look back at Natasha, oh my god she's still staring at me

"Quite or not boss, but It seems like you have no choice but to go out there" Marcus said "but anyways what does she want with you boss? Child support perhaps?" He added

"god nooo...I already told you I'm more into quiter ones" I replied to Marcus 'I prefer them than girls who can beat any alien's ass while also being an international spy/assassin at the same time'

"Sigh...anyways man the counter I'll ask her what she needs" I exited the counter and proceeded to go to Natasha, behind me Marcus saluted me like some world war two veteran on a suicide mission "god speed comrade"

Nearing her table, I serve the Café Latte and gulp "ahh...excuse me Miss but you ask for me? Oh my names Alex"

"Natalia, I saw the ad is it true?" said Natasha

"The What now?" I replied in confusion, what advertisement is she talking about? "Father, it's about the advertisement I posted in social media" Athena telepathically talk to me "Basically the hundredth person to walk into the Cafe, will be given a reward"

"And what kind of reward is it?" Hmm...probably a free coffee coupon?

"A 1000 dollar shopping and a date with one tall, handsome and glasses wearing cafe owner" Athena said

"You what!? Yo-you sold your own Father Athena!?" goddamnit Athena!?

"Come on Father you need to go out more, you always stayed at home devoid of human contact at this rate your mental health will deteriorate, it's been 56 years since that day you need to move on Father" said Athena "and beside you like red heads, I saw it in your memories"

"Athena, it...its..complicated..." can't argue really with Athena she knows what I'm thinking after all "Sigh....okay I'll try but! Not with her, she's dangerous to be around"

"Uhmm...Hello are you there?" I look back towards Natasha and sighed what am I going to do

I broke out of my stupor and said "Ah...sorry Yes the advertisement real, And Congratulations! You're our 100th costumer today and you're entitled to a 1000 dollar shopping Congratulations!" As I said that the other customers groaned

Natasha grinned "oh you forgot, you also owe me a date"

All the woman in shop curse "lucky shit" "goddamnit" "those nice ass should have been mine"

"Ah...also a date" this is troublesome, wait!? Who said the last one?!

"Okay Miss Natalia, when will you be available for the date?" Fucking weird saying all this, it feels like this is some force romantic subplot, everything is too fast for my taste 'sigh remember this is all work'

"Hmm..Tomorrow 9 in the morning we go shopping then 9 in the evening I expect a dinner date, here's my address and contact number" Natasha replied as she take a sip on her coffee "hmm...this is great" she muttered

"Wouldn't it be bad if you just give your address and contact number to someone you just met?" I raise my brows at her nonchalant giveaway of her address

"Oh it's fine, It's not like you're some kind of creep are you?" Said Natasha

"Definitely not, well I'll get back to my job and again Congratulations" I walk back to the counter then sighed again as I look back to Natasha and muttered "this will be a pain in the ass"

Natasha POV

I have submitted my report to Nick about the man, truth be told that man would be a great asset to SHIELD and Fury's also agreeing with me in this one

Fury, Hill, Coulson and Me saw the footage of how the man move and oh boy he is good, various cctv footage suggests that during the walk with her daughter the man would avoid cctv prone areas inconspicuously and also without alienating his daughter

The Files we have gathered on him was also scarily scarce; First I was right the man was a Spook and a god damn good one at that, Alexander Achilles aka the Janitor, personal cleaner of CIA's mess, mission completion rate of a hundred percent, the man was the living John Wick himself, serve the CIA for 5 years then decided to retire using a presidential letter to erase any of his mission record

There were a lot more but all of them were erase from the CIA's Data base, how did SHIELD miss this one

"How the fuck did we miss this one?" Said Nick who was questioning both Coulson and Hill "a living breathing John mother fucking Wick and we miss someone with that kind of resume?"

"I have search the log director but it seems there were no recruitments send to him" said Hill "and according to the file He is protected by the previous president and serve as a shadow presidential guard, he use those letters to both erase and decline any further attempt on recruitment on himself" she added

"No that can't do, the man's too dangerous and useful to be left alone, find any possible way to make contact with him recruit him in anyway you can I don't care just tie him to SHIELD" Nick said "any Idea where he retired to?"

Coulson spoke "yes we did, he's not really hiding himself that much" he said as he press something on the remote and at the screen infront of us, an advertisement about a coffee shop appeared "this is a cafe ad for an upcoming coffee shop on midtown Manhattan; Hestia Cafe owned by the man himself"

"Okay so who should we send?" Nick ask

Hill tried to volunteer when she saw the shopping reward but was shutdown by Fury "No you can't go Hill" he then turned to me "basing on your excited look, you want to volunteer for the shopping reward aren't you?" Fuck my eagerness is showing but I mean come on it's free shopping

Nick stared at me for a moment then sighed "fine you can go but make sure you won't disappoint me this time Romanof"

I nod then leave the room, when I got out I pump my fist up and said "yes! Free shopping!"

"Alexander thank you for this" I said as a grin appeared on my face
