Y/N played with her hands while  I drove back to the compound. I prayed that Nat and Steve were able to get the decorations up before we got back. I wanted her birthday party to hold meaning, especially after knowing she didn't even know her own birthday.

I could tell by the look in her eyes she was questioning everything I'd told her. Sure, there was evidence, but it's still hard to believe. You've spent the majority of your life looking for who you were, and yet the moment you find it, it's impossible to believe. Let alone understand.

I cleared my throat. Y/N glanced over at me and smile slightly. Then, she placed her left hand in my hair, rubbing my scalp. "You ever thought about cutting it?" She questioned, tugging at the ends lightly. I nodded, "A couple of times. Why? Do I need a haircut?"

My eyes left the road for a quick second to look at her trying to surpass a smile. "No," She lied. "The long hair looks good." I shook my head while slowing down a little. "It really brings out your eyes." She mumbled, looking out the window. I rolled my eyes and continued to drive.

"Where did you find time to set me up with Carter?" She questioned randomly. "During these last five weeks, whenever there was a meeting, I would pull Maria to the side and ask her. Eventually, she found the time to sneak you in to see her. Convinced the dad that something was wrong at his job, and she told Fury that she was just checking up on her. So, he wouldn't expect a thing."

"Well, thank you. I appreciated it, and everything since you're doing."

We made it to the compound later than expected. The lights were all off, so Y/N would think everyone was asleep. Yet, the second she opened the door, the lights flew on with everyone yelling, "Surprise!"

She gasped and held her chest. Then, she looked at me with a frown. "A surprise party?" I nodded and lead her into the building. Everyone who we came crossed with her happy birthday. Finally, we reached the group. Nat was the first one up, bouncing over to her and hugging her. After a second, she hugged back and smiled. Steve was next. He stood in front of her before setting a poorly wrapped box in her hand. She thanked him and sat it down on the table, promising to open it when the party ended.

"So, Y/N, how do you like the decorations? I paid for them." Tony bragged. We both looked around and nodded at their commitment.

"Scott and Sam almost passed out blowing up the balloons. I had to save them. As usual. " Nat laughed. "You should have let them suffocate." Y/N laughed.

"I'm right here." Sam opened his arm to her. Y/N rounded her eyes and walked back to me. "Nat wants me to dance with her and Wanda. I'll be back."

Nat swooped me onto the dance floor as loud music started to play. She threw her hands around my neck, pulling me in a grind on me. I laughed as she tried to roll her hips to the beat, but it came off terrible. I danced next to her with a smile. Then, Wanda came up next to us, "Happy birthday," She hugged me. "I have to advise you thought. Don't eat the cake. Vis and I tried our best."
