(Y/N) WOULD BE lying if she said she wasn't nervous about sitting next to Captain America. She couldn't even make fun of Phil's obsession anymore, since she now understood what it felt like. After the jet had picked her up from the place of her mission, she had time to change into a comfortable outfit and waited for the jet to pick Steve Rogers and Phil Coulson up.

(Y/N) shook out the nerves that were filling her stomach as they were all flying over to the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier in silence. She did get her chance to present herself, but she tried not to laugh at the confusion written on Steve's face when he noticed that a woman was flying with them.

"We're about 40 minutes out from home base, sir," the pilot informed.

"So, this Dr. Banner was trying to replicate the serum they used on me?" Steve asked out loud, his eyes drifting away from the tablet in his hands.

"A lot of people were," Phil said. "You were the world's first superhero. Banner thought gamma radiation might hold the key to unlocking Erskine's original formula."

"Didn't really go his way, did it?" Steve said.

"Not so much," Phil replied. "When he's not that thing, though, the guy's like a Stephen Hawking."

Steve looked up at him in confusion.

"He's this really genius person," (Y/N) informed him, and he nodded slowly in acknowledgement.

"I gotta say, it's an honor to meet you officially," Phil continued, and Steve flashed him a small smile. "I've sort of met you. I mean, I watched you while you were sleeping."

(Y/N) snorted at his comment, noticing the way the smile dropped off Steve's features.

"I mean, I was present while you were unconscious from the ice," Phil tried to correct. "You know, it's really just a huge honor to have you on board this.  . ."

"Poor man, Phil, you're scaring him off," (Y/N) said as Phil glared at her.

Steve sent her a small smile and turned to Phil. "I hope I'm the man for the job."

"Oh, you are. Absolutely." Phil reassured. "We made some modifications to the uniform. I had a little design input."

"The uniform?" Steve questioned. "Aren't the stars and stripes a little old-fashioned?"

"With everything that's happening, and the things that are about to come to light, people might just need a little old-fashioned." Phil said.
