"Thank you. Will that be all sir?" He smiles and asks Maya to carry on. She takes hold of the cafe menu and goes to the counter to submit the order. She turns back to the tables looking at who needs a waitresses' help until she had found something suspicious.

Two muscular guys both wearing cap and sunglasses. Fury's words kept echoing in her head, "Now that you're in SHIELD and definitely one of our best, the Avengers would want to recruit you. Look out for caps and sunglasses." He winked. Maya never understood what he meant by it as she was very innocent and quiet first having joined SHIELD. It was tough making friends because everyone was either too focused on getting the promotion or busy fighting. Which was why she wanted to work this part time job when she was free from work, just because she needed the companion of strangers. She was waiting earnestly for the day when the Avengers come approach her. Everything was going to change from now.

"Maya! Take out the trash." Her manager disrupts her thoughts and she gets back to work. She holds the trashbags over her shoulder and walks to the back to toss it away. As Maya walks down the alley, she just knew they were following her. One of her various strengths. She tosses the trashbag away, "What do I owe the pleasure of Captain America and the Falcon visiting me at work?" She says out loud, turning to face them. Sam was clearly shocked, "How did she?" and kept looking at Steve all confused. "If you read her file, you'd know she is an amazing agent out in the field." Steve responds. She raises her eyebrows. "Thanks?"

They remove their disguises. "It never helped fellas. Trust me, the whole cafe knew who you all are. Just did not bother." They look at each other, Sam shrugs, "Seems just about right." She crosses her arms. "So?" Steve clears his throat, "We need your help Ms Zachary. The Avengers are falling apart." She went nearer to them. "Heard about it, everyone is talking about it back in SHIELD. What can I do to help?" Sam speaks, "We need you to fight alongside us. We are outnumbered."

"And why would I agree to this?"  "Because we need someone like you. We know your past, read everything from it with permission from Fury. You know that working for an outsider never turns out well." She looks at her watch, "I have 15 minutes till my shift ends. Care for a cup of coffee?"
