Natasha was about to respond when FRIDAY's voice echoed from the ceiling. "Boss, Zemo is on the move."
Their heads snapped up, eyes wide open in surprise.
"Makes sense," mumbled Tony. "It is only a few days before the Accords are due to be signed…
He's still aiming at framing Barnes. Not knowing his plan has already failed to tear us apart further."
Natasha had known Steve had told Tony the truth.
"Good." She shifted her gaze to his Arc Reactor, placed on his chest. "You do not always carry that around."
"I knew we'd be getting an alert soon," he replied.
"Figured it would be useful to have it on." Reaching into his pocket, Tony pulled out a smaller Arc Reactor.
"Here is yours. Place it on your chest and it should attach to any clothing you wear. Press it to activate the suit. I have a full suit, yours is just for flight capacity. You do have a few repulsor shots available to you if you need it."
Natasha took the Reactor. "Does it matter where I put it on my chest?"
"No." Tony tapped his fingers over his Reactor and the nanonites spread over his body, engulfing him in his suit.
The helmet formed yet the face-place didn't close up.
He watched as Natasha placed her smaller Reactor in the middle of her body, just slightly below the clavicles.
She pressed her fingers to it and nanonites spread out, forming a thin, black armoured suit around her body. "Feels weird the nanonites running over me."
"It takes a while getting used to." Tony glanced up at the ceiling. "FRIDAY are all the exits clear? I don't want anyone to see us."
"Yes, boss. The exit down the corridor from this office is clear."
The nanonites sealed around Natasha's body.
"I know you haven't had any practice in the suit yet. I only finished it recently. FRIDAY can control the suit so we can be on our way."
"Can't be that hard."
"You'd be surprised," retorted Tony.
He walked to the door to the common area he'd been sitting in, opened it and saw the fire exit door already open.
He fired up his repulsors, his feet hovering in mid-air. "FRIDAY?"
Natasha's thrusters fired up. Their helmets sealed over their faces and Tony leaned forward and shot ahead, flying out of the fire exit and up and high into the sky. Natasha followed suit, FRIDAY controlling her suit.
"FRIDAY, course plotted for Cleveland?"
"Yes, boss."
"Good. Have you given Nat instructions on how to use the suit?"
"She has. I think I'll be fine to control it…" responded Nat. "I know if I lose control she'll be there to help. If this is going to become a regular thing, flying off with you Stark, then I need to learn as we go along." Leaning forward she flew past Tony, stretching her hands out behind her to increase her boost.
Tony moved in front of her. "Eh… Cleveland is that way." He pointed off to the right.
"Show off," grumbled Natasha.
Tony laughed.

Cleveland
"Sensors indicate one heat signature in the house. Looks like Zemo mounted a curb and hit the occupant's car," observed Natasha from her outpost just above the house they knew Zemo was still in.
"How are we going to do this?" ask Natasha.
"I say we just go in. I go in the back and you the front. He won't be able to easily escape if so."
"Unless he smashes a window."
"There is that," admitted Tony, "but we are armoured up. He isn't. And if he leaves the house and it becomes another chase… I'd rather keep this as quiet as possible. The Accords signing are just a few days away. I'd rather not jeopardise our position on it by making a mess in our own country in trying to apprehend a criminal."
"Good points," mused Natasha. "But we cannot arrest him if he has committed no crime."
"I'm certain he's murdered the occupant of the house. FRIDAY initially reported two heat signatures." Slowing beginning to manoeuvre down, Tony headed for the back garden. "Let's go."
---------
Natasha landed awkwardly on her feet in front of the main entrance.
Tony had installed minimal sensors in her helmet so it was easier for her to work with the suit.
She didn't need the full interface he had in his own suit.
There was still one heat signature detected in the house.
Stepping silently forward, she reached the front door.
"I'm in position," said Tony.
"On three. One. Two…. THREE!" Her shoulder hit the front door and she crashed through it, swinging her arm around and raising her palm at the startled man in the room before he dropped almost everything and made a run for it, only to hear a crashing sound in the distance as Tony made his own entrance.
The man – Zemo – stumbled back into Natasha's line of fire. Palm raised she pointed her repulsor at him. "Stop running and we won't hurt you."
He snarled. "You shouldn't be here!"
"Too bad, we are," said Tony appearing behind the man. "Looks like you've been busy."
Natasha noticed the man off to the side, tied by his ankles, his head in water, not moving.
He was clearly dead. "You gonna tell us why you killed him?"
"He was Hydra," explained Zemo, his voice filled with bitter.
"Didn't give you what you wanted?" guessed Natasha.
"That's why you wanted the Red Book in your hand?" It hadn't escaped her notice what Zemo had been holding. "Think you can control the Winter Soldier do you?" Natasha said.
Zemo's eyes turned to slits. "How did you know?"
"You're not the only one to unencrypt the data." Natasha stepped forward. "We've been doing it too. We know all about the Red Book and December 16th 1991."
Zemo's face paled. "How?"
"Are you asking how we knew what you were looking for or how we know about those two specific things?"
"Both," he hissed in return.
