I was going to end the Deaged area, if you want more of it just let me know and I'll put it in. If you wanted something specific to happen let me know and I'll try to fit that request.

The deaged spell only lasted about a week and by the time it ended. After the whole disaster, the team seemed to have gotten closer. They understood one another a bit better. Sally and Steve's relationship grew stronger.

It wasn't until the Ultron accident that the relationship grew a tad strained, with Sally helping out with Tony who withdrew himself slightly.

Even the original Jarvis came to the tower from time to time to try and help Tony. Sally spent her time in the lab with him and sometimes gave him input on something he was working on but most of the time had to get him to eat, sleep, and try to help avoid Wanda and Vision for the time being.

She helped him build F.R.I.D.A.Y the new AI for the tower. She was a newborn and didn't understand Tony as much as J.A.R.V.I.S had but she'll learn.

Steve was fine with Sally helping Tony, he tried to on occasion when Fury didn't try to call him out for a mission or helping train the new recruits at the Avengers Academy.

"I'm heading out Tony." Sally said as she pecked his cheek for a farewell. Tony just hummed a sort of goodbye still focused on a project.

As Sally left the lab she told F.R.I.D.A.Y to make sure that Tony gets food and sleep even if he disagrees. She was worried, Bruce was somewhere, Clint retired to spend time with his family, Steve and Natasha were training the new recruits, leaving Tony alone at the tower with his mind and that wasn't ever a good thing.

But she needed to check in with Steve and talk to Vision. Tony's most problem was that J.A.R.V.I.S the faithful AI was gone, Vision certainly wasn't him (though there were some instances where he was).

Sighing again, Sally got in the car and started out toward the outer area of New York where the training facility was.

It didn't take her long, flat roads with long stretches of road, in a sport car that was made for speed. Yeah, it didn't take long.

The tires screeched as she braked just near the door of the facility and saw Steve waiting for her. She smiled at him as she stepped out of the car and closed the door.

"Hey." She said smiling brightly at him as her heart swelled with love.

"Hey. I wish you would drive safer." Steve said with a tad tone of teasing. They went toward each other and gave each other a hello kiss.

"How are the recruits doing?" Sally asked slipping her hand in his.

"They're doing better than when they first got here." Steve said smiling lovingly at her. While their relationship was a tad strained after the Ultron incident, they still loved each other very much.

"That's good to know. Do you know where Vision is? I was hoping he could talk to Tony for me." Sally asked Steve playing with their hands feeling ADHD kick in a bit.

"He should be in the kitchen." Steve said and before Sally could leave, he leaned in and gave Sally a kiss that made her heart melt.

"Love you." Sally said with a smile as they separated. Sally saw Steve smile lovingly.

"I love you too. I got to get back to training." Steve mumbled out as their foreheads were resting against one another. Against what felt like Sally leaned away.

"Dinner later?" Steve asked as Sally started toward the upper level.

"It's a date." Sally said as her eyes twinkled with mischief and promise.

"Looking forward to it." Steve said with a smile as he went to opposite direction toward the training area.

Sally made herself upstairs and after a lengthy conversation with Vision and talking to see if he could stop by the tower and actually talk to Tony would be great.

She also talked to Wanda quite a bit along with Natasha (Girl talk and everything) before heading toward the garage where Steve texted her to meet.

"Where are we going my lovely date?" Sally asked as she fixed her hair into a ponytail.

"That would ruin the surprise." Steve said opening the passenger door of a normal looking car.

"A surprise? I'm excited." Sally said her voice teasing just a bit as she got into the car and allowed Steve to shut the door for her.

She watched him race around to the other side before sliding in, "I don't know how exciting it'll be." Steve said his voice just a tad uncertain but after months of dating knew Sally didn't care where they went as long as they were together.

"I'm sure it'll be awesome, excitement doesn't matter." Sally said and kissed Steve when he leaned over. After the small peck he started to car and drove toward the unknown.

It felt long a long drive to Sally but she kept calm and anxiously waited for what was going to happen. A smile fitted her face when she heard the sound of the ocean outside the car.

"The beach?" Sally asked excitement clear in her voice.

"A picnic beach while we get to watch the sunset." Steve clarified and felt pleased when Sally's smile widen.

It was no sooner that Steve stopped the car and opened Sally's door for her. He then opened the trunk and got a small picnic basket out of the back.

He settled a blanket on the beach and placed the basket between them, "Are you enjoying yourself Milady?" Steve teased as he got a few sandwiches out.

"I sure am Milord." Sally teased back enjoying herself as she took off her shoes and curled next to Steve while watched the slowly setting sun.

"Best date I think." Sally said leaning against Steve's shoulder.

"Really?" Steve asked his voice a bit mischievous, "I thought you said that about the carnival one, or the one where we spent at your house that lead too-" Sally smacked his arm to get him to stop talking while she blushed a bit.

"Just shut up and hold me." Sally said with a roll of her eyes and felt pleased when Steve complied.

After a few minutes she heard Steve let out a relaxing sigh, "Yeah okay, best date." Steve confirmed and Sally lifted her head up to give him a quick kiss.

They spent the moment like that until the sunset and they had to get back before the waves get too big (not that her father would get them wet (yes he would) but because Artemis' moon can be powerful even to the waves)

"I need to head back." Sally said as they were driving back to the compound.

"Spend the night?" Steve asked trying not to sound like he was begging.

Sally smiled because she knew Steve long enough to know when he was begging, and put on a thoughtful expression.

"I guess I can, it'll give Tony and Vision time to work out a view things. But then I need to go back." Sally said leaning her head gently on his shoulder.

"I can work with that." Steve said as he smiled and drove them back to the compound.
