[Chapter 2] The history of the dog tags

"You two look like your having fun" the blond states in a happy tone as he walks into the room. Nat got herself up, taking the shield from y/n's hands. "Cap, what are you doing here?" She asks as she hands the shield back to him.

" I was passing by when I heard you two fighting and wanted to see what was going on." Cap states before turning to y/n and holds a hand to her. "Steve Rodgers but people tend to call me Captain America"

"Or Capsicle" Nat pipes in, smiling.

y/n chuckles slightly before shaking his hand, "I'm y/n l/n, It's an honor to me you Captain"

Steve smiles back at y/n as their hands separate. "we're done here y/n, I've seen what I've needed to" Natasha says as she walks over to a blue floating panel by the door and types something down.

"So she's the new recruit," Cap says as he walks over to Nat, leaving y/n in the middle of the room to put her crop hoody back on.

Natasha only nods in response before finishing up on what she was typing before tuning to face y/n. "You passed, welcome to the avengers," Nat says happily.

y/n pauses, "wait, Fury said I was a S.H.I.E.L.D agent?" She questioned, she thought that she was supposed to just be a S.H.I.E.L.D agent.

"Well there has been a change of plan, Fury wants you to work with the Avengers so you can be of more help and under more supervision since he thought you might try and escape," Natasha explained.

y/n stood still, processing this (screaming internally) and trying to figure out a new escape plan yet all routes seemed to end in failure. Great...

"Oh, nice. That means I can meet the rest of the Avengers and stuff, cool" y/n said in an attempt to act happy. Cap and Natasha give each other a look at the question before laughing. y/n ended up joining them, realizing how scared she had sounded.

"I'll leave you in steves hands, I've got some things to do. Good luck" Nat said once she had calmed down and then left the room, leaving Steve and y/n alone.

Cap turned to y/n, " so, how about some lunch?"

★━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━★

Steve and y/n sat at a simple restaurant just chatting about really anything and everything. They had talked about Steves life in 1943 and what it was like living back then, y/n had shared whats it's like living in the 21st century and answered some of Steve's questions. It was pretty amusing having to explain what a reality tv show is to him. y/n had figured out a lot about him, she probably should have taken her history classes seriously or gone to the museum so she would know him better.

They had a simple mean and had gone through multiple drinks whilst chatting. They had probably been there for about an hour or so.

"Two years ago with the alien attack, that must have been traumatic" y/n says, taking another sip from her drink.

"Yeah, after being trapped in ice for so long and then coming back to all of that was a lot. But it has been two years and I think I've coped with it well, can't say the same for any of the others."

"Well it must have been tough for them seeing as none of you would have ever experienced something like that, I was in Germany when the word went out about an alien attack and everyone thought it was some fake news or misinterpretation. But after seeing video evidence people believed it, it's just crazy to think something like that actually happened"

"yeah, it is hard to believe if you had never seen it. Back in my day, the craziest thing that I ever saw was a car that hovered for a few seconds but that was really it." Steve chuckles at the memory before his fave becomes saddened. "It's good to be able to talk with people about all this, the others on the team handled the situation very differently. I wish my old friend was here to see all of this stuff as well,it would blow his mind" He looked a bit happier after the mentioning of his friend.
