"Are you the new recruit?" As soon as the elevator door opens, a man stands in the way.
"No, actually I've been working here for a while! Um, you know it's tough out there in the field. Once you go, you never come back the same." I lean against the frame, and wipe my nose with the back of my hand. I looked really cool before the doors started to close. I stumble out the elevator and into the hallway.
"Ah I see. Well my name's Clint, I'm new here. What's your name ma'am?" He wore a white t-shirt and jeans, so fashionably casual.
"Well, the team calls me Ms.D. But I prefer Tiana. No, I prefer yes ma'am and no ma'am." I watch as he tries to hold back a laugh.
"Sorry uh ma'am. You know I could have sworn I saw you working at a desk in S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters, yeah you were. Don't you remember?" A smile slips onto my face and my deep broken warrior impersonation has returned to normal.
"No, I've been told I have a very similar face to almost everyone."
"Yeah yeah, newbie. I like you, welcome to the team."
"No, I like you." I point to him like the chosen one as I walk away. "Oh! Do you by any chance know where the lab is?"
"Sorry, I'm new here."
"1 down 5 to go." I tell myself with a smirk.
The Avengers Tower was incredibly designed, and high above the ground. Enormous glass windows that pulled a view of the New York City in a way you couldn't imagine, you could also get sights like these from a plane. But hey! Whose judging? The hallways smelt fresh, like new clothes.. or a new car but better. The walls were the cleanest white, I'd never wanted to get something dirty so fast in my entire life.
At last I came to a big open space, and then I saw him. He looked completely out of place at a desk, like Mr.Incredible. It didn't seem he noticed me as I walked in. I get closer and lightly tap his shoulder.
"Did you order a pizza?" That perfect face finally turns around, it was more perfect in person. He looked at me and a small but bright smile appears.
"I thought about it." He shakes my hand, very strong but gentle. "You must be the new recruit."
"Yes I am uh... Captain... America... Rogers... sir." I forgot to stop shaking his hand. I slowly and calmly release and place them at my sides. His smile gets bigger as he stands up.
"Please, just call me Steve." The rumors were true, if he ate nacho cheese Doritos that would indeed be canibalism. "So have you met the whole team yet?"
"I've met the new guy uh Clint." Steve looks at me with an arched eyebrow, I just smile lightly and completely regret my entire existence.
"Anyone else?"
"Besides him and you, no."
"How'd you find your way to my office?"
"I guess I'm an expert at reading signs." Steve gives me another one of his looks. "That was a joke."
"It was funny." Steve pulls open a glass door.
