[A MONTH LATER]

"you're late" Sam says to me through the phone. I sighed as i grabbed my car keys off my kitchen counter. "i'm aware of that Sam! some people have a proper job with proper hours" i said angrily. He'd been rushing me for the whole day, texting me at work to make sure i'd definitely booked the evening off. Apparently Tony was holding one of his infamous parties and i was Sam's +1. I speak to a few members of the so called 'Avengers' when Sam drags me to the gym at ridiculous times in the morning and evening. Tony was kind enough to give me my own keycard so i can use it when i was. Apparently he liked my attitude or something. Sam said i reminded Tony of somebody but i couldn't remember who. "listen, i'm literally walking down the steps of my apartment, i'll be there in 20 minutes" i said as i hurried down towards my car in the car park. "you better" he said and i rolled my eyes, hanging up. I know me and Sam had been best friends since we were kids but after today i'm seriously reconsidering it.

[20 MINUTES LATER]

I smiled as i finally turned the engine of my car off, parking in Tony's fancy garage.  He'd even made me a little sign where i could park.

I was staying overnight so i had an overnight bag on the backseat. I sighed as i decided i could grab it later. I hoped out the car and locked it, making my way towards the lift.

As soon as i entered the main room, the smell of cologne and perfume fillies the air, loads of people standing around drinking what i presumed was champagne or beer for the lads. All the girls were dressed in skimpy outfits, most of them were probably here to try and pull one of the hunks of the avengers . . . which was pretty much all of them. Now that i'd arrived, i started to relax a little bit, grabbing a glass off the tray of some waiter standing around.

"y/n!" i heard someone call me. I looked over to see Natasha stood with Sam, Steve, Bucky and Bruce. I smiled as i made my way over to them, Natasha wrapping her arms around me. "how's my favourite spy?" she asked me and i chuckled. "you're not meant to know about that" i scowled her. Normally i would've lost my shit, but i actually trusted Natasha. She'd been a really good friend to me over the past few weeks, getting me some links higher up members of authority within S.H.I.E.L.D, AKA Mr Fury himself. After that, my name became a lot more well known and older cases i'd done got more recognition. I still chose to keep my waitress job despite my very generous pay rise, i likes the escapism. And not to mention our most regular customers are HYDRA members who have their meetings in our private function room, i always make sure to get in on those. "i have something i want to go over with you later" She whispered in my ear and i nodded, thinking it was going to be yet another conversation about Bruce. "about damn time!" Sam said loudly, wrapping his arms around me and lifting me up slightly. I gasped in pain as he crushing me ever so slightly. "ease up there Sam" Steve said picking up on my wince instantly. "what happened to you?" He asked me. I smiled and shook my head. "i just pulled some muscles building a new wardrobe" i said quickly, making up some lie. "and why didn't you call me? you know i've got all the muscles" Sam said jokingly and i chuckled. I looked up and met Steve's look. He studied my face deeply and i smiled softly at him. He knew i was lying but Sam didn't even question it. "i'm Bruce" Bruce said stepping forward to hold out his hand. "it's brilliant to finally meet you, i've heard so much about you" i said happily, smirking at Nat. "i hope it's not all about me going green and causing destruction" he said almost sadly which made me frown. "of course not, mainly about your 7 PhD's" i said which made him smile pretty widely. "wow that's the first time someone's actually known me for me" he said happily and i chuckled. "there's a first time for everything" i said happily. Nat smiled at me as she sipped her drink. "i'm going to get something a little stronger" i mumbled, placing my now empty glass down and walking to the bar.
