Nick Fowler x Reader

-1-

A loud thud echoes in the room as my back hits the mattress. "C'mon (Y/N)! One more round." the ginger haired colleague wipe sweat out of her forehead. Raise myself to sit, legs shaking a bit. Combatting with agent Mason 'Mace' Brown in the trainingroom as usual. "Aaw, Mace! We've been doing this like an hour... Can't you give a girl a break?" I huff. "C'mon. One more time...", she take couple steps back, getting ready. Lazily I get up of the mattress;"Alright...". Sneaky smile comes to her lips;"If you win this, I'll take you out to dinner, my treat.". Bright smile comes up to my face;"Really?!". Mace really knows how to motivate me. She starts counting;"Ready, set, go-!" and we both go at it.

I've work as CIA agent almost three years. People still consider me as 'the newbie' around here. Maybe I'm not as great agent as Mace here, but I got the potential – or at least that's what Mace been telling me. She was the first one I hang out with when I started here. With fast moves I throw a punch, she blocks it. Throw an other punch and it hit her. Waisting no time sweep legs under her. "Ah-!" she groan as she falls down chest first. I keep her hand tight in a lock and do a fingergun;"Bang.". All the other people in the room have stoped what they were doing just to stare at us. I let go of her hand, try to settle my own breathing. "You know (Y/N), you do have attend to fight ruthlessly with right motivation..." Mace chuckles thru panting. Smile comes up to my lips. "You fight like you date." raspy voice teased from a far. Quickly turn my head to see who it is. Nick Fowler, standing there hands in his pockets, next to our boss Larry Marks. Before I could say anything, Mace is quick to snap back at him;"Oh, you wanna talk about your dating history, big guy?". Nick flashes irresistible sneaky smile that'll make any girl knees go weak, but I've learned not to fall for that over time. Kinda...

Nick is one of the best agents in CIA I know. Tallented, tall, handsome and very charming on top of all of that. The years I've been working for CIA nothing special have ever happened between me and him. I mean, how could? I'm not the type a guy like him would fall for. Bet he got women for every finger if he wanted. "Agent (Y/L)." Mr. Marks's voice quickly brings me back from my thoughts. "You got a job." he says. Stunned look hits my face;"Me?". Excitement fills me up real quick, but I try my best act professional. For Mr. Marks coming up to me and ask me to be in a mission is a big deal! This is going to be big turning point for my career. "Meet us in the office after you've changed." Mr. Marks says and head out with Nick. Turn to face Mace, hiding the smile was impossible at this point. Big smile comes up to her face too;"So I guess I'll meet you later then.".

After quick shower and changed of clothes more formal, I walk in Marks office. Nick was there too, already sitting down a chair beside the desk. "Please, sit down miss (Y/L)." Marks gestured the other chair next to the man in a dark blue suit. Nick's eyes followed my every move as I sit down. His stare makes me feel some type of way. No one ever looked at me like he did, but then again... Bet he is always looking at girls this way just to get their reaction. Marks put both of his hands on the desk and leans in;"We got incoming from the Columbian operative. He says he got something to sell, something that would rattle our friends at the NSA.". What could that be? I keep eyes on Marks, listening every word carefully. "He's asking for three million, cash. So he can disappear." Marks says. Three million? "Did he contact any other agencies?" I ask. Marks sighs;"He doesn't seem too patient...", "That's a yes." Nick quickly added. My head snap right towards the man next to me. "..and the Colombians they're coming for him too." he continued. "W-well, where is he now?" turn back to look at the boss. "On his way to Paris." Marks leans back in his big leather chair. So that's where I'm going.

Nod to Marks words;"So, I'll be going Paris and give the money. Sounds easy..-", "You're not going alone." he quickly add. Blink my eyes couple times faster;"Oh..-", "Fowler is coming with you." Marks point his finger at the agent. The Nick Fowler?! This is big –no, this is huge! Automatically my head turn back to Nick, who has very neutral look on his face. He must be so used to this. I've been on mission here and there, but never outside of the country. Being deep in thoughts I flinch tiny bit when Marks hands me some files;"Here are the information you need, you'll be leaving tonight. Any questions?". Grab the files and stand up from the seat;"N-no, sir. Thank you sir! You won't regret this." a smile escape from my lips. It made Nick smile too.

Close the door behind as leaving the boss's office. Nick stayed in there for whatever reason. Excited about the new mission I start to read the files little bit ahead while walking the corridor. "Hey, newbie. Haven't seen you for a while." a male voice called. Lift my head from the papers to see who it is. Isac Gray, one of the CIA agents. Muddy blonde haired, good looking agent, who's known for harassing the female agents around here. Wonder why he never got any warning or such. Guess he is doing it so sneaky way that no one can say anything. He's standing middle of the corridor, hands on his hips. It's like he's purposely showing the badge that hangs on his trousers. We are all wearing the same badge. Geez... Luckly I haven't had many interactions with him in the past, but when ever I do, he always makes it weird. Flash awkward smile at him;"Hi Isac." and start walk pass him. He steps in my way, the usual smirk on his face;"You busy tonight?". We stand so close to each other now. Borred look on my face;"Actually, I am." and continue walking. He puts his hand against the wall so there is no way to go past him;"Oh, c'mon (Y/N)... What is more important than spend the night with me?". "Being with me." stern male voice echoes in the corridor.

Both of us turn our heads to see who it is. It's Nick, hands in his pockets, walking towards us with confidence. 'Being with me'. The words makes me blush a little. Well, he's not wrong; I am going on a mission with him tonight. "C'mon Nick, can't you at least leave me the newbie?" Isac chuckles. "Not this one I don't." Nick was quick to respond. What the hell are they talking about? Isac stares at Nick with irritated look on his face. I'm just awkwardly standing there between these two guys. They give challenging looks, but soon Isac scoffs and walks away. Nick and I keep standing in the silence for a moment. Those ocean blue eyes stares Isac's back as long as it goes out of site. Should I thank him? Or do I look too wea- "Do me a favor and try to stay away from him." he finally turn to look at me. "Why? You want him all to yourself?" I laugh. "Something like that..." Nick chuckle. There's that irresistible smile again. Roll my eyes;"Thanks, but I could have handle him all by myself, you know.". Nick smirks;"A tough guy, huh?". Nick and I pick on each other here and there. All of sudden I remember; Mace! I was supposed to see her after this. "Oh- See you later!" I start speed walk away, leaving him alone in the corridor.

It was told that there is this special decryption program drive that can access any digital system on Earth. So you can only imagine what kind of distraction it can do in the wrong hands... Nick and I are assigned to purchase the drive from a man named Luis Rojas. We will meet him at one of the café in Paris. He gets the money and we get the drive. But we need to go there undercover, I'll hear the details about that later. Sounds simple. Almost like one man job, but I guess Nick coming with me is a good thing for 'a newbie'. Maybe they are giving me the change to show them I got what it takes. I've been trained for these kind of things. Now it's my time to shine. I don't wanna let them down. I won't let them down!

Mace's 'I'll take you out to dinner, my treat' was actually sitting in local bar, drinking couple beers and eating some chips. There are other people at the bar; talking, laughing, drinking, playing darts. "Mission with Nick? Must be fun..." Mace takes a sip of her beer. Playing with the bottle in my hands;"I'm somehow nervous, this is my very first mission outside of the country.". "You'll be fine. You have our Nick with you." she smiles gently. Weak smile visits on my face before I take a sip;"Yeah...". Don't know why, but I have had this feeling Mace has a crush on Nick and vica versa. Like today, he came to see us training, just to see her... Urgh. Pushing these feelings away, it gets harder and harder over time. I don't wanna be in their way. I can still remember the first time I saw him... "-N)?" Mace's voice brings me back. "Hm? Sorry, what?" I ask. She's looking at her watch;"Don't your flight leave in 2 hours?". My eyes goes down to my watch that is on my wrist. "Right, I better get going... Thanks for the treat." I smile and get up. She waves as I walk away;"Be careful and say 'hi' to Nick!". Of course... I force a gentle smile;"Sure, bye!".
