Catherine Gets a Date

A/N: I know y'all are going to hate me for this, but I have to write this just for my own amusement. I loved reading the comments when people found out Catherine had a date with Brock Rumlow. I just want to elaborate more on that.

There were never slow days at SHIELD. There was always something to do. File paperwork. Train. Defrost super soldiers. Stop the end of the world. However, there were days when it was a bit more laid back. Those were Catherine's favorite days since the assembling of the Avengers. Her life felt nonstop since that day in New York. If she wasn't doing something for SHIELD, she was doing something for the Avengers.

The first thing Catherine would always do after clocking into work was check the board for any announcements, assignments or special training. She walked straight up the board, saying hello to a few of her fellow agents along the way and searched for her name. It didn't surprise when it had listed that she needed to run a few training exercise with the STRIKE team.

Fury had explained to her numerous times that he wanted the STRIKE team to assist Steve Rogers while on missions as well as Catherine and Natasha when needed. In order for everything to be cohesive, they all had to train with one another. They had to learn each other's strengths and weaknesses. She had really only trained with Natasha and Clint, so it would be a nice change.

"I know it's not the Avengers," Brock Rumlow, the leader of the STRIKE team spoke behind Catherine, "but we can still kick ass."

Catherine knew exactly who Rumlow was. She had known him her entire time at SHIELD and had grown to respect his leadership position. They would often joke with each other while passing one another in the hallway. She liked his whole team actually. They were nice and easy to get along with. It also didn't help that Brock was easy on the eyes and he knew it. He was almost as cocky as her brother.

"Well, maybe I can teach you guys a thing or two." She shot back at him.

Brock Rumlow knew everything there was to know about Catherine Stark. It was his job too. He knew her address. Her favorite coffee shop. That every weekend she tried to fly to Malibu to visit her brother. He knew about her relationship with the Winter Soldier. There was something no one else knew. It was what Hydra wanted him to do.

When he had reported back years ago that Catherine had joined SHIELD, his bosses at Hydra gave him strict instructions to watch her every move. It was in the past year that they wanted him to grow closer to her. He would become her handler after the walls came crashing down around SHIELD and the truth came out. Despite his mission, he did like Catherine. She was smart, beautiful, and kind. It was hard to believe that she had a dark side once upon a time ago.

"Can you meet us outside in ten?" Brock asked the younger woman.

"I can." She answered.

"Good. Wear something comfortable." He told her before eyeing her up and down. At least she made his mission easy.

She gave him a small smile before heading to the locker room to change. She changed into a pair of dark navy blue workout leggings, a short sleeve black shirt with a SHIELD emblem on the sleeve and a pair of sneakers. She pulled her hair back not wanting it to be in her face. Then, she went outside to the training yard.

The training yard had obstacle courses, retaining walls, tracks to run around, buildings to practice mission in, and a small lake to practice missions involving water. She found Brock's team towards the middle of the field in between the walls and buildings.

"Nice of you to join us, Agent Stark." Rumlow said as she approached the group.

"You said ten minutes. It's been seven." She pointed out and went to stand next to one of the STRIKE members, Jack.
