The party was doing great and soon it suddenly was the sixteenth. Mia had too much fun to notice, though. She was talking with Steve and Hill about all their past missions.

“I swear, I thought that that man was up to something.” Mia said and Hill shook her head.

“It was your second mission. It's normal to make mistakes.” She responded and Steve laughed.

“I used a stapler against him. That's not a mistake.” Mia laughed at the memory. “I think he still has scars.”

“Why did you use a stapler?” Steve asked.

“Well, I don't like guns and my knife was still in my boot. I just grabbed the first thing I saw and used it. Like PC taught me.” Mia explained.

“PC?” Steve questioned. “A computer?”

“No, PC was a friend of my dads.” Mia started and her eyes widened. “Oh my- now I know why you were that familiar to me back in 2011.”

“What?” Steve was clueless.

“Why didn't I make the connection?” Mia went on. “How could I be so stupid?”

“Please, clarify.”

“PC is Peggy Carter. She taught me most of my skills and I have absolutely no idea why I never thought about you.” Steve's eyes grew wide.

“You know Peggy?” He asked.

“Yeah, she used to tell me stories about the war. She did mention you but never showed pictures, like she did with all the others. I guess it was too painful.” Mia told him. “Not until 2011, I had never seen you, only heard of you. Tony hated you so much.”

“Is- was-" Steve wanted to ask something but he didn't know how.

“Peggy is the main reason I accepted Coulson’s offer to join S.H.I.E.L.D. I need to take you with me next time I'm visiting her.” Mia looked at Steve and he started tearing up.

“She's alive?” The tear left his eye when Mia nodded and the mood changed quick. “I- Thanks for this, Mia.” He said and Mia gave him a quick hug.

“It's alright, Monkey.”

“Monkey?” Steve asked and Mia chuckled.

“Peggy told me this story about you drawing a circus monkey because you felt like one. I've never lost that story and always asked for more about Monkey Steve.” Now the three of them started laughing and the mood lightened.

“Mia, can I speak with you?” Hill asked and Mia let go of Steve.

“I'll be right back.” She said to him and he nodded before walking to Bruce and Natasha. Mia saw Natasha looking and pointed at Steve with a smirk. The Widow did the same but then with Hill and Mia smiled.

In the hallway, Hill coughed once and looked at Mia with a soft but nervous smile.

“What's wrong?” Mia asked her and looked into the blue eyes of the brunette before her.

“I uh.. I need to tell you something.” Hill said and Mia nodded for her to continue. “I don't know how to say this and since Romanoff said that you're still struggling with Blake… I hope you don't take this wrong.”
