"You seem like you've slept recently." Tony says suspiciously as he accepted a coffee from her hand.

She laughed."I haven't poisoned you, I just ended up sleeping early last night is all." He nodded still keeping am eye on her.

"Amelie, just the woman I was looking for." Peter said before hiding behind her. "What's this about?"

Steve came in with his arms crossed."I know he's in here." She bit her lip to keep in a laugh. "What's got you so riled up?"

"Peter locked me out of my office." He huffed. She handed him her cup of coffee."Ill take a look at it no worries."

Putting her palm on his back she lead him out before winking at Peter."You know maybe he wants to spend time with you, you work a lot."

She said leaning down to look at the key hole. "I know but sometimes I can't control when I have to work and he just dosen't understand."

She took out a Bobby pen from her hair and chewed on the edge."He does, he just wants some time and with you it's hard to get that."

Amelie murmered before taking it from her mouth and inserting it in the lock. She jiggled it around for a good minute before she heard a click.

Taking it out she twisted the handle and stood looking backwards."How about I do some paperwork for you just for today. Spend some time with him."

She said with a smile. Steve looked behind Amelie thinking about it. "Okay...just for today."

He said before walking forwards and giving her a hug."Thank you, for everything." After a quick hug he took off down the hallway.

Smiling she went into his office knowing how the flow went. She used to be a Secretary at shield.

At least for a short time. It was therapeutic being able to go on auto pilot and let her fingers glide over the keys.

It was more muscle memory than anything. The last of mathematic formulas and specific insights gave her the freedom to let her mind wander.

"Hey you still here?" Her eyes glanced at the clock reading 6pm then at Steve. "Oh sorry I must have lost track of time."

She stood shutting everything down, Steve watching as she did."How was the day with Peter."

Steve leaned against the doorway with a smile."I got everyone to sit down and watch a movie." She smiled feeling happy for him.

"How romantic." She gushed picking up her purse."Where are you heading tonight?"

She held her purse strap and yawned. "Home to do some laundry."

She said with a strained smile. She couldn't ignore the strain anymore.

"Wanda's making dinner tonight how about you just stay for a second." She agreed tired and wanting to throw herself into his arms.

So as he led her back to the kitchen Wanda busy with a pot he smiled."I'll help her go talk to Tony he said he had something to tell you."

She put her purse on the counter and yawned as she sat next to Tony on the couch."What did you need to tell me?"

The brunette looked over from the movie then at Steve. It clicked and he smiled."My hands been bothering me could you-"

She took it worriedly."What happened?" Waves of pleasure hit her but she didn't falter. "I don't know."

She felt herself focus only to get tired quicker. He moved a blanket on her and she lost her focus before slowly falling asleep.

She held his hand still only this time unconsciously. "She was tired." Bruce muttered eyes watching as she subconsciously curled up against Tony.
