Captain

Part three

I got in my uniform and Steve got in his suit. When we got to my desk I split the pile of cases in half. I took one half and Steve took the other. We began to work.

"What's that for?" Steve asked pointing to a pamphlet for the New York marathon.

"Oh, I'm running in it. I've been training for it for a while." I answered still focused on the case file in front of me. "Do you run?"

"Yeah I do," He said.

"You should come do it with me," I suggest not wanting to push him into something, but thinking it would be nice to have someone to run with.

"I might just have to do that," he said with a grin.

"Having fun Captain?" A voice boomed from behind, Steve whipped around almost falling out of his chair. I turned around slower recognizing the voice.

"I just thought I would help Agent (l/n) out a little, seeing as I didn't have anything else to do." He shot back at the director sounding annoyed.

"Well, now you have something. Be in my office in five," Fury boomed with a glare at the both of us as he walked away.

"Ok boss," I mocked to myself, Steve heard it and laughed a little.

"Well you know where to find me if you need me," Steve gave a half-hearted smile as he got up and turned away.

"Thank you..." I said making him turn around, "for dinner tonight." He smiled and nodded.

"Thank you too." He said as he made his way to the elevator. I turned around and sighed looking at the now very small pile of files.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been about a week since I last saw Steve but I had talked to him on the phone yesterday. The conversation wasn't long he just invited me to avengers tower for their movie night on Friday. I said I could come but I couldn't promise to stay long because I would be coming from a mission, and would be exhausted.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was Friday night around 7:30 and I just walked in my apartment and sat on the couch half asleep when my phone buzzed.

Steve: Hey, are you still up for tonight?

I dropped the phone on myself realizing it was Friday and had completely forgotten about the movie night.

Me: Yes, I'm coming really casual if that's ok with you.

Steve: Yeah that's totally fine.

'Good' I thought to myself because if not I might have just stayed home.

Me: Ok great thanks.

I slipped into a pair of sweat pants, a baggy shirt, then tied my hair into a messy bun. Soon I grabbed keys and headed out.

Once I got in my car and headed to Avengers tower. I probably shouldn't have been driving because I was so exhausted, but I made it there alive.

I walked into the huge lobby, lost, and feeling out of place in my current attire. I was honestly considering turning around an going home just when the elevator dinged and Steve walked out.

"Hey Steve," I called out. I cringed realizing how raspy and tired I sounded.

"Hey (y/n) come in. The team is really excited to meet you," he said treating me like I had been his friend for years. I worried that the team had high expectations for me as I stepped into the elevator.

"What movie are we watching," I asked willing myself to stay awake.

"Jurassic Park," he said excitedly.

"I'm guessing you have never seen it?" I chuckled.

"No, but everyone tells me to watch it." I closed my eyes and held onto the handle trying not to sway. "(Y/n) are you ok?" I snapped out of my trance and the elevator stopped.

"Yeah I'm ok, I'm just really really exhausted. I got some fieldwork today, finally, but it drained me." I reassured him, as we stepped out of the elevator into a hall.

"What did you go out in the field for?" He seemed concerned.

"We raided a Hydra base," I answered realizing he was concerned about my bruised eye and busted lip. "It was routine, but they never seem to want to cooperate," I huffed.

We were almost to the living area when Steve said, "You don't have to go in there if you to worn out. They are kinda wild."

I brushed him off saying, "I'm here aren't I. I wouldn't have come if I didn't think I could handle a few wild avengers." I said kind of sarcastically, trying to believe the statement myself.

"I hope you can because I can barely handle one," He said guiding me into the living area with a chuckle.

They were wild alright. Steve raised his voice to get their attention. "Guys this is (y/n)." The room went silent for half a second before the other five avengers were surrounding me. I was overwhelmed but tried my best to push that aside.

"I'm Tony, this is Thor Odin's son, Bruce Banner, Clint Barton, and Natasha Romanoff." He said pointing to each avenger.

I took a step back realizing how close some of them were. "Tony give her some space. You are going to suffocate her before she even gets to talk." Natasha said as she and Clint pulled Tony back.

Steve could see I was uncomfortable and flustered, but I spoke before he could do anything. "It's nice to meet you guys." Those were the only words I could think of. Then Steve guided me to the couch.

"Should we start the movie?" Steve said trying to get their attention off of me.

"No, we need to learn a little about our guest." Announced Tony, Steve looked at me concerned.

"Um okay, what do you want to to know?" I questioned.

"What's your favorite color," Thor called out.

"Blue."

"Dogs or cats," Banner asked.

"Dogs, Golden retrievers are my favorite."

"Are you a morning person or a night owl?" Barton wondered.

"Both I guess. I'm so used to the night shift," I stopped and cleared my throat..." and the shift that starts early in the morning, yeah." I stopped and looked at Steve, who was still standing up.

"Ok, who wants to watch the movie before midnight." He asked, I looked at the time on my phone it was still only 8:30, but before anyone else could object I shot up my hand.

"Me!"

"Me too," Natasha followed.

"Me three," added Barton.

"You guys are no fun," Tony whined while putting in the movie. Once everyone settled I was sandwiched between Steve and Natasha.

The movie started.
