Ophelia's Daughter (Steve X OC)

Chapter 3 - First training

Sleeping on this was super weird. I wasn't used to sleeping on such soft mattresses. It made it hard for me to get a solid nights sleep. I almost considered sleeping on the floor. I was awake when I heard Steve and James head out for a run around five in the morning, their muffled voices making it's way into my room. I just laid in bed looking at the ceiling. Today was gonna be hard. I have to hold back my punches..my speed..I have to act like things hurt more than they would, and I need to keep calm, something I was not good at.

I get dressed in a pair of tight pink sports leggings and a sports bra that were put in my closet before I got here. Brand new clothes..Tony was spoiling me..why? I think about putting on my contacts and decide to use my glasses instead, so I look like more of a weak ass bitch. I honestly don't know why my eyes are fucked up when the rest of me is so..super. I tie my long black hair up in a ponytail and cover myself in a big baggy black sweater. I wasn't fond of people looking at my body.

It wasn't like I didn't have a good figure, I just had more curves than most woman. I had a bit of meat on my bones..junk in my trunk. I even had a little chunky patch on my stomach. I wasn't comfortable with the way people looked at me because of it. Like they would eat me alive. Disturbing...

I head down to the mess hall needing FRIDAY to tell me how to get there. It was larger than I thought. There were about twenty round tables everywhere. Almost all of them were full of people. Some looked my way and eyed me badly...they must be the James fan club ugh...

"Hey, you made it." He was leaning against the wall. How long was he there? Steve walks up to me from my left with a huge smile on his face, there was a slight blush, at least I thought I saw one.  "The cooks are this way. They make great food. Even some to order." He walks me to the cooks and I can feel the bullets hitting my back, from all the starring the agents are giving me..I didn't want the damn attention. Fuck. I kept my head down. "Hey Eric, Jane, this is Agent Aspen. She's working in Tony's lab." He introduces me to the two main cooks in the front, I nod and awkwardly say hi. They gave me genuine smiles and sweet welcomes. At least some people here were nice.

"What would you like to eat?" Steve dips his hands into his sweater.

"Umm..Scrambled eggs, um.. four turkey sausages..and do you guys have protein shakes?" Steve looked at me confused..fuck..he didn't know that I actually need protein because of my situation. To be honest it wasn't long ago that I noticed having high amounts of protein helps my body handle my little 'freak outs' better. "Sorry I eat a lot." I give him a shy smile and he chuckles a bit.

"Nothing wrong with a woman eating. Do you like mangoes? They make the best Mango protein shakes." I nod and he adds it to my order. He makes his, which seemed like a fucking lot. He actually got three eggs, sausages, bacon, toast, pancakes, a large protein shake, and a fruit bowl.

We grab our food saying thanks to the cooks and head to an empty table...that happens to be dead center of the mess hall...for fucks sake. It was like the whole room just stopped to watch me and Steve eat breakfast. I was so nervous it took me a while to start eating. Good thing star spangled man here had three times the amount of food I did. I still ended up finishing before him.

"See it wasn't so bad to have breakfast with me" He slurped the last bit of his shake with a satisfied 'ah' at the end. I laugh and shake my head.

"You really aren't noticing how everyone is starring?" He furrows his brows and looks around. Everyone quickly averted their gaze, but not before he saw them. Then he slowly nods and looks down. There ya go Captain, now you notice.

"Sorry." He puts one hand on the table and taps it looking down. He didn't seem sorry, he was slightly smirking.

"For what? You aren't the one so obsessed with the Avengers, you have to watch one eat in awe." I know the issue was him eating with someone at the mess hall but I didn't want to bring any more attention to myself. He laughed a bit and got up taking my plate and placing it at the washing station.
