All of Me - Agent's of S.H.I.E.L.D

Chapter Forty Seven

Disclaimer: *sighs* Nope, I do not own Marvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, but will have great pleasure in toying with the characters. *grins and pulls out SkyeWard Voodoo dolls and makes them kiss* I also do not own any of the songs that may be mentioned along with TV shows or movies scenes … just a big fan.

A/N: Thank you for all the amazing reviews, follows and favorites. And Kudos. You guys are awesome and it fuels me to write, seriously – they're great for my ego. Feel free to hit me up on twitter, tumblr or PM me if you have a question. I love to hear feedback so I know what the readers like or dislike. I am an open minded person.

Once again … two time zones that are 12 hours apart are in this chappie. I am glad to know that there are a couple CapHill shippers reading this and I am not the only one.

Does anyone know if the S.H.I.E.L.D academies are located in the same spot or different sections around the USA or world? I know if this fic I have added an australian academy, that has the whole three together, just three different sections since australia is smaller.

And since in IM3 how stark had the arc rector removed, is he gonna have a big hole his chest or scar or something?

Also, does America have laws about protective gear while riding motorcycles, cause I notice that the 'Cap' doesn't wear a helmet.

CHAPTER 47

Tuesday, 18th - Washington DC

Triskelion, S.H.I.E.L.D HQ - 4:22 p.m

Maria's eyes were focused on the paper report that she was reading in front of her that she didn't bother shifting her eyes when she heard a knock at the door. She just answered, nonchalantly. "Come in," having a pretty good guess who it was since he left her office only twenty odd minutes ago. Maria knew where he went and what he was doing.

The door opened and Steve stepped into the deputy Director's office with two different flavoured smoothies as a smile melted across his lips when he acknowledged his best friends composure. She hadn't moved a millimetre from when he had left. The only part of her that was moving was her eyes as they scanned the words on the report in front of her. Steve knew that she knew it was him and wasn't annoyed or upset that Maria didn't acknowledge his presence. He knew that when Maria was in deep concentration not to bother her. Steve knows that Maria has an important job, but he also knew that she tended to work to hard and often skipped meals.

Steve gently closed the door shut with his foot before making his way across Maria's office and promptly stopping in front of her desk. He placed Maria's strawberry smoothie on the desk in front of her as he sucked some of his mango one through the straw of his own.

As if on autopilot, Maria reached for her strawberry smoothie that had been placed in front of her with her free hand and picked up the cool beverage in the translucent plastic takeaway cup with the dome top. She then began to suck the cool fruity liquid through the thick straw as she continued to read.

Steve walked back to the couch with his own mango smoothie and plopped down on the couch to where he had left the reports he had been going over for the last few days. He had no idea why the Director had assigned him to revise all of these updated protocols and procedures. Steve preferred to learn has he goes. He had been working within S.H.I.E.L.D for almost two years now, for the same time he had known Maria. The reason he had agreed to work with S.H.I.E.L.D was because Peggy and Howard had started it, he now stayed for Maria.

A long minute later Maria briefly tore her eyes from the sheet of paper in front of her, placing the smoothie down and glanced dead ahead at the male super soldier who was currently reading one of the reports from the pile she had given him. She wasn't pleased that Nick was making Steve her 'baby sitter' until they discovered what this unknown threat to S.H.I.E.L.D was, but if she had to spend several hours a day holed up in the office with someone - Steve would be it.
