After recovering from the bullet wounds y/n got the previous year, she was finally back kn the field with Her friend and now partner Laura Smith. SHIELD had a new mission for them, they were to go with the STRIKE team to rescue hostages from a group...
After Natasha and I had our encounter with Steve, the three of us helped everyone on the ship into the life pods then headed back to base. Once we were back Laura, Nat and I were getting our seatbelts off when Steve got up and made his way out of the quinjet. Both Nat and I knew he was going to talk to Fury about him not telling Steve that Nat and I had a different mission than the rest of the team.
After we get unbuckled the three of us made our way to the locker room to change. Once we made it we went to our assigned lockers. As I opened mine Natasha speaks up. "So y/n, are you excited to see Mr. Hiddleston?" She asked wiggling her eyebrows at me. I roll my eyes and shake my head. "You're not letting that go are you?" I ask. Just before she was able to answer I hear the notification sound on my phone. I grab it and see that I got a text from Tom. "Good evening, Mage, I hope you're doing well. I hope you dont mind but I was hoping that we could have that date tonight? I just got to my hotel here in DC and my manager wants me to go in for a meeting tomorrow night for a movie opportunity." It read. My eyes widen and I look at the girls. "Tom just texted me and he wants to do the date tonight." I explain.
Natasha looks at Laura and they both nod as if they were thinking the same thing. "Y/n, I want you to put this on, Laura is on makeup duty." Nat ordered me as she handed me a bag. I look at them confused and decided not to ask any questions then go into a bathroom stall to change. "So y/n. How are you doing after the Loki situation?" Laura asked. I was hesitant for a moment and decided to tell the truth. "It's been hard. Before he died I felt something in him that he wanted to change for the better. Change for me. He saved my life." I say and walk out of the stall after I got the clothes on to show them while holding the mask. "How does it look?" I asked.

Both women looked at me with the same excited expression. "Oh my gosh you look amazing. Total badass!" Laura said smiling. "I'll have to give you that jacket. It looks better on you than it does me." Natasha said. I turn around and go to the sink mirror to see how it looked like on me. They were both right. It did look good on me. "You look absolutely stunning." I heard the voice of Loki of when he gave me that dress and necklace to wear at the gala when Clint was getting the iridium while under Lokis spell. I move the jacket to the left to see that if I took it off Not only Tom but everyone would see the bullet wound from last year. I put it back over my shoulder telling myself to keep it on the entire date no matter how hot it got.
Out of nowhere I feel a pair of arms wrap around me making me jump and I realize that it was Natasha giving me a hug. "Everything is going to go great. Remember to be yourself." She said as she released from the hug. I walk to a bench and sit down on it. "Yeah but which "myself"? Tom only knows me as Mage. One of the original 7 Avengers. Not Y/n Strange, Daughter of Stephen Strange the neurosurgeon that has more awards than there are stars at Hollywood's walk of fame." I say explaining my kinda sorta double life. "Y/n. I've known you sence what Middle school? And even before you got your magic you have always been my best friend. If you get nervous just take deep breaths. If he asks you about yourself then say simple things like your favorite color." Laura says giving me advice. I let out a sigh and look at Laura. "I'll keep that in mind." I say with a small smile. "We better get on the move. The Smithsonian closes at 8:00 and its 4:00 right now. I'll text him to let him know you're on the way. Steve will have to give you a ride." Natasha says as she pulls me up and drags me out of the locker room. "We'll only call you if there is something going on. Life and death that is. And don't worry Laura and I are going to do some training. She needs work on her hand to hand combat." Nat says as she and Laura lead me to the hall. "Ok. Try not to over do her she is a couple months new." I say giving both of them a hug. "I'll try to hold back. Have fun." Natasha says as wave them goodbye and put on my mask on my way to ask Steve for a ride.
