Ophelia's Daughter (Steve X OC)

Chapter 2 - The Lab

"And this is the Lab Tony works in." Steve and I have spent the last half hour walking the facility. It's truly a large place to behold. Several buildings attach to each other to make a huge structure. An unbelievably large plot of land surrounding it allowing for the Avengers to do massive group training sessions, and an underground helipad that stores dozens of Quinjets.

When he walks me into the lab my eyes widen in excitement. I start darting to everything and anything I can. Electro-magnetic stabilizers, jet propulsion blueprints, nano tech development...I ..was...in..heaven. Every bit of my body was tingling in anticipation to play with these. I did a slight happy dance for myself.

Someone clears their throat and I realize Steve was still there...again.

"Sorry.." I give him a sheepish smile, face turning beat red. "...I'm just in a candy store right now."

"Don't be sorry, it's nice seeing you so excited." He crossed his arms over his chest and smiled at me.

"Hey Mr. Stark, what if we add this to my suit?" I hear a young male voice say. A teenage boy walks in not noticing us and looking into the tablet in his hand.

"Tony isn't here, Queens." Steve mentions looking down.

The kid looks up and gets surprised by seeing us in the lab. "oh..Oh hey you must be the new girl, I'm Peter, Peter Parker" He reaches out to shake my hand. I nod and shake it.

"Yea I know, we actually met once." He looks confused and so does Steve "Um...well...my coworker at the time had her wallet stolen, you got it back for her. Even waved at us. You have no idea how important that was for her, her wallet had the only picture she owned of her deceased mother." I give him a smile as a thank you. I may have been under a different identity at the time, but it was still such a kind thing for him to do I never forgot.

"Aww, don't mention it, I'm just your friendly neighborhood Spiderman" He giggles a bit. "I need to go look for Tony..I mean Mr. Stark..see you around" I wave bye to him and give Steve a smile. He was analyzing me.

"What?" I feel myself blush again under his gaze.

"Nothing, you just..were so quiet before. You know you have these random bursts of non stop speaking and then you go quiet right?" Fuck he noticed. I take a deep breath and nod looking away, anywhere would be good to look at right now. He chuckles a bit and looks away. "Alright well, Tony should be back in a bit to get you started with work. If I don't see you at dinner, I'll see you at training in the morning."

I freeze..wait what? Tony never mentioned training...I can't do that, if I do they will quickly deduce something is different about me than what they were told. "Wait..I don't do training." I try and get out of it.

"Everyone does training, I take care of the new recruits. Don't worry I'll take it easy on you." He walks out before I could argue more..shit shit fucking shit...dammit..

I start panicking....this can't be happening...I need to get out of this...maybe if I talk to Tony he can help me out. I start noticing the electronics around me start to freak out so I take a deep breath...I can't do this..not here...breath.

"Kid?.." Tony walks in and grabs my arms "Breath kid breath..." He noticed the electronics. I start to regulate my breath and calm down letting everything else slow to a stop too. "Okay good...tell me what happened." He looked worried.

"Training...Steve...morning...I can't..he'll notice Tony." I try not to cry...fuck one day, just one day in here...This was a bad idea

"Fuck, I forgot about that..if I take you out of it, they will know something's up." Shit shit shit..."Okay this is what you are going to do. Do you know how to soften your blows?" I nod "Good, make it look like you're weak, out of shape or something. I know Steve, he won't push you too hard, so take advantage of that."
