"Not that kind of jealous Steve. I am jealous of Peggy for having someone like you. I wish I will be able to find someone who will still love me 'till the end of the line" I said when I realize why Steve is looking at me as if he saw a ghost. I saw Steve smile a little.

"I'm sure you will find someone, maybe even better than me," he said. Why is it sounds like he is rejecting me though, I didn't even tell him I like him. Bonkers, I do not even like him. Get yourself together Aya!

"Yeah, maybe," I said then I turned my back to him grabbing my makeup pad. 

"Aren't you royalty in Asgard? I am sure many men on your planet would want to be your significant other" he said and I can see that he was just joking. I turn once again at him.

"No, thank you, Steve, you should have seen all the men my grandfather brought to the palace. Good thing I was able to evade every single one of them" I said laughing, Steve chuckles.

"I think Sam's calling you," I said when I heard a faint call from outside.

"Yeah think so too." He said walking towards where the door is, but he stops.

"Aya, do you think I will sign the accords?" he asked. I look at him

"No, you are not since you're in London in three days and the signing of the accords is in the same day" He chuckles a little.

"What do you think is the right thing to do?" I think for a bit.

"I think the best you can do is to choose what you think is the right thing to do," I said. He nods a little and then went out. I look at my reflection once again wiping my makeup off. I open my laptop and then continue doing the paperwork. I need to finish this so I can let this off of my mind.

A few hours later I sense someone went through the door, when I look beside me I jump from my chair putting on a fighting stance summoning daggers from my hand. When I look at who is it, I just saw Vision.

"It's just you Vis. Sorry, battle reflexes" I said relaxing. He looks at me

"Sorry, I should just use the door as Wanda told me to do," he said I chuckled a bit "Dinner is ready" he continue then went out this time using the door.

Hours later

I am now finishing the report in my room sitting on a chair at my study table. I type in the last few sentences when I look at the clock that reads 11:59. I save the documents and then email them to Pepper, close the laptop then I went out of my room to grab some snacks.

I open the pantry to see a box of pop tarts starting heating in the microwave. I heard someone walking then I look behind my back and I see dad standing right there looking at me.

"Can we talk?" he asked. The microwave timer ringed. I open it taking the pop tarts and putting them on a plate. Then I look at Dad again with a pop tart on my mouth nodding. The motion for me to take a sit on the chair. Placing my plate on the table I obey what he told me to do. He didn't talk for a minute then he sigh.

"Aya, I want you to come with Natasha to Vienna for the signing of the accords," he told me fiddling with his fingers.

"Yeah, sure" I answered shortly

"Aya, please. You know we all need these accords to keep us in check, right? To prevent what happened to Charlie to happen again" he said rubbing his temple with his right hand

"Dad, do you think maybe we should think this thoroughly before even signing it?" I said abandoning my pop tarts on the plate.

"Dad, if we sign that. Avengers will be some kind of a puppet. We will have strings tied to our hands and legs. And just like puppets, we weren't able to move or do anything unless they move the strings. Do you even think about that dad?" I said looking at him

"If!" he said, his voice a little higher, he breathed deeply rubbing his head then looks at me "If, we didn't sign these accords innocent lives can be ruined. Why can't you understand?" I sigh loudly running a hand through my hair

"If we did sign these accords then there's a possibility that we may not be able to save these innocent lives you are talking about" I argued back now standing up leaning my back on the counter island.

"Dad, what if there's someone in front of us needing our help. They were dying, are we just going to sit back and relax and watch them suffer until the panel tells us so? What if they said no? Are we just going to ignore the fact that there are people needing our help but we just turn our back on them? Are we just going to pretend that we didn't see them? That we didn't hear them? Is that what you want us to do?" I said trying to prove my point. He stood up harshly making the chair fall over creating a loud noise.

"What's happening in here?" I heard Natasha say, she must have woken up by the noise.

"Are you playing to be righteous? Huh?! Or are you just siding with Rogers because of what you feel about him?!" he shouts shoving some of the chairs blocking his path. My eyes widen

"What are you talking about?" I asked. Steve's not here thankfully, he's with Sam.

"Oh, you know damn well what I am talking about. You were with Rogers when you told me you're spending your vacation in Romania. That's why you didn't want to sign those accords" he said. I once again run both my hands through my hair getting frustrated.

"This is not just about that damn accords dad! This is about saving people. This is about HOW do we save these people" I said now Vision and Wanda are also watching us.

"Saving people. How can you save those people from your own failures huh? Tell me, how? Even your father can't even save you and your brother from his" he said. I was taken aback by what he said. There is no way he used that to me.
