I wake up with the biggest headache i have ever had "Damn it" I say dragging myself into the bathroom, i brush my teeth and look at myself in the mirror. I look destroyed, the cuts and bruises from the fight.I get changed into my bikini and put a thin robe over it and walk down the stairs before meeting my dad in the dining room "Hangover?" Dad asks and i look at him before getting myself some coffee "No" I say looking up at Steve entering the room and drinking the coffee too fast and burning my mouth 

"Fuck" I curse as i drop the coffee on my lap "Penny" My dad says and i look up clearly annoyed "Are you okay?" Steve asks handing me paper towels "I'm good" I say cleaning it "Hows the hangover?" Steve asks "It's fine, i just need to eat and go for a swim" I say "A swim?" Steve asks and i nod "She really wanted a pool so i had it made" My dad says "Sounds spoiled right? Dad bought this overprized house just because it was overprized" I say with a laugh "The least i could have done was give you a pool" Dad says and i smile 

"Now if you will excuse me i will go for a swim" I say while walking away, i stand by the pool before taking my robe off and stretching up with my eyes closed. I open my eyes and dive in allowing the cold water to wake me up, i swim up to the surface and float looking up at the clear sky "You like to swim?" I hear Steve say, i stand up properly and look over at him "I do, do you?" I ask and he nods "Then why not jump in?" I ask looking up at him, he takes off his shirt revealing his perfectly toned body

I look him up and down smiling impressed getting slightly flustered at how good he looks, i look away "I hope you're not just stripping for my daughter Rogers" My dad says and i frown embarrassed "Dad" I yell "No. i'm actually getting in" Steve says innocently before diving in himself "Dad you can't say stuff like that" I say "I can" He says before walking away "It's a nice day isn't it" Steve says walking closer to me, i look at his now wet body, how the water is dripping down "Ye-Yes" I stutter looking up into his blue eyes 

Damn this man was seriously built in a lab, that makes a lot of sense. "Are you okay?" Steve asks and i nod "I am great" I say smiling before going underwater and swimming away "You seem nervous" Steve says and i smile "I'm not nervous, you're just hot" I say without thinking, my eyes widen when my brain catches on "Thanks, i guess" Steve replies, i get out of the pool and feel his eyes fixed on me, i lay on the tanning chairs and look over at him "Are you okay Rogers?" I ask "You seem nervous" I say mocking his words

"I'm not, you're just hot" He replies with an innocent smile "Stop flirting with my daughter Rogers, it's not going to happen" My dad complains while sitting on my chair hiding me from Steve's view, Steve gets out of the pool dries himself before heading inside "We have rules" My father says "Your rule was not to be known by the avengers, which is why i have been kept a secret until now" I say "Well i have a new rule" My father says and i raise an eyebrow 

"You will not date any of the avengers" My father says and i stare at him "Not that I would anyways, Thor is a god with a girlfriend, Clint is an extremely close friend and Steve his Steve" I say with a shrug, my father stares at me for a few seconds "Will you follow this rule? And you only go to missions I personally agree to" He says and i take a deep breath "Okay dad" I say "Okay good, now get ready for the party" My father says "Party?" I ask "Yes, party" My father says and i nod 

I head straight to the bathroom and have my shower before going back to my room and getting dressed into a long silk dress with a slit that goes to about my thigh, the dress was tight on top and flowy from the waist down hugging me in all the right places. I add some light makeup before brushing my hair out and adding some white stiletto platform pump heels. I look at myself please seconds before leaving my room "Hello Steve" I say smiling as i find him walking out of the guest room 

"Penelope" He says "You look beautiful" He says smiling "What i would do to kiss her right now" He thinks "Thank you Steve, you don't look too bad yourself" I say looking him up and down "That button shirt fits you wonderfully" I say as we walk down the stairs together and into the packed living room "And here she is" My father says from the staging area where the DJ is "Here's to Penelope's first mission" He says clearly drunk while handing me a glass of wine "Thanks Dad" I whisper so that nobody else could hear

"Who is she?" Someone asks pointing a phone at us, my father looks down at me and i give him a small smile "She is the newest addition to the avengers" My father says and everyone cheers, i lift my glass of wine before bringing it to my lips and walking off the stage "Why did he lie?" Steve asks "It's too dangerous" I say with a shrug "He just doesn't want Hydra to know i'm still alive" I say and Steve frowns 

"My real parents, they handed me to Hydra as a baby. They experimented and tortured me until i was 8" I say "That's when Nat and Clint found me, i blew up the bunker in a fit of anger. They believed i died there. My father changed my name officially and the real me died in that bunker" I explain "Tony saved you" Steve says and i nod "Which is why i always understood why he hid me away from the world, i didn't understand his secrecy with you guys though" i say "Loki got into Clint's head, that could have happened to any of us" Steve says and i nod 

"Do you want to dance?" Steve asks and i nod "Sure" I say putting my cup down on the bar and heading to the dance floor with Steve. I rest one hand on his shoulder while he holds onto the other, his other hand resting on my waist. We dance silently and slowly for a while, i look up at Steve with a small smile, he looks down at me staring directly into my blue eyes "Your eyes are beautiful" Steve says smiling making me smile "So are yours" I reply quietly

"You will not date any of the avengers" My father voice echoes in my head "I'm heading to bed" I say letting go of Steve and taking a step back "did I do something wrong?" Steve asks worried "No, nothing at all" I say with a smile "Thanks for the dance Steve" I say and Steve' smiles back "Good night Penelope" Steve says "Goodnight Steve" I say before heading up to my room, i sit on my bed annoyed "I will not have a crush on my fathers friend, it's wrong" I say to myself
