"So, uh, I'm sorry again. I would really like it if we could start over." Nayeli blinked a few times in silence, as if her mind was racing to catch up with his words. When she didn't respond, Steve tried to clarify for her apparent confusion. "Uh...friends?" Her mouth formed an o shape, seeming to understand. Nayeli was the most confusing person Steve had ever met, she was obviously smart with her high status in shield. But, she had no smarts when it came to social interaction. "Okay, sure" Nayeli eventually said, "I won't hold it against you, people tend to avoid the unknown and scary. You did it, the government does it, that guy on the fourth floor with the receding hairline does it. Just don't act too patriotic around me and we'll get along, 'kay?" And with that, Nayeli slammed her apartment door shut, leaving Steve staring at her star sticker. If you asked Steve what he was more scared of, teenagers or another alien invasion he would reply another alien invasion. Before Natasha would chime in that it was most definitely teenagers. So when eighteen year old Nayeli Dovebar joins SHIELD as a technical analyst, he goes to great lengths in avoiding the terrifying glitter obsessed fashionista. But, she catches on to his little predicament. So when fear turns into friendship, Steve Natasha and Nayeli are in for the ride of their lives.
