WASHINGTON, DC
"What will happen to him?" Buffy asks curiously as she and Fury stand in her office, yes, he had after weeks of complaining given her her own office, but mainly just to keep her out of his.
Plus it helped keep up appearances, as long as the world thought she was the acting Stark Industries consultant then no one would question why she was constantly seen heading in and out of the SHIELD headquarters over the world.
Sighing the Director of Shield moves to stand beside the girl the two of them looking out of her window watching as one Mikael Peterson is brought into the medical bay.
Buffy couldn't help but feel for the man, she had heard what had happened, how Centipede had given him powers, increased strength and agility, however it had come with a price. Kind of like the extremis soldiers he had almost blown up till something had triggered it to stop. As she watches him she couldn't help but frown, she was too far away to get a proper look at him but there was something so familiar about him, she just couldn't put her finger on why.
Honestly, the file Fury had showed her just confused her, she didn't get any of the mumble jumble that Fitzsimmons had written...or was it Fitz and Simmons, that wasn't too clear. From the file she had read it almost seemed like they were the same person. It was extremely confusing. She may be smart but even that sent her mind spinning.
Watching 'Mike' for another moment the blonde sighs before turning back to Fury "Well?"
Fury sighs "They will see if he is stable, if he is...then we will train him. He could use your help you know."
"We'll see." She mumbles before watching as the med bay doors slam shut cutting off her view, sighing the blonde moves around her desk to watch as Fury picks up the 084 file and moves it in front of her.
Groaning the blonde sighs as she stares at the file, she couldn't believe he wanted her to do this, yes she wanted to see Coulson, or more accurately slap Coulson but she wasn't sure if she was ready.
"His team is a bit rough around the edges." Fury admits to the blonde before sighing "Look I get your pissed, damn I would be too but he needs help on this."
The blonde looks up at him before finally nodding, she might as well get this over with "When do I leave?"
Fury grins "Tomorrow. They will be heading to inspect the 084 in the morning. My guess they will be getting into trouble."
Buffy merely nods and with that Fury heads out of the room, as the door closes behind him Buffy flops onto her chair and spins around softly as she thinks about her mission.
She was going to see Coulson again.
Last time she had seen him Loki had just stabbed him and she had watched him take his last breath.
Seeing him again wouldn't exactly be easy.
Taking a shaky breath the blonde leans her elbows on her desk and inhales deeply only for her head to shoot up as she hears a knock at the door.
Frowning she buzzes the enter button before smiling in amusement, she should have realised it was Steve, he was the only person that ever knocked.
"Hey." She breathes out with a small smile as her friend walks towards him.
Steve smiles at the blonde, still in his gear from the mission he had just returned from in Asia, slowly he looks up and around the blonde's new office and whistles "Nice."
Buffy chuckles before standing and circling around her desk to lean against it as he approaches her "I'm pretty sure it's Fury's way of saying leave me alone."
"Ah." Steve laughs "Stay in your own office."
"Exactly." She smiles before she looks up at him with a big grin, the two of them had grown a lot closer since she had moved here considering he spent a lot of time in Washington using it as a main base after his missions.
Steve smiles at the blonde before he spots the file on her desk "Mission?" He asks as he grabs the file only for his face to fall as he notices the picture on the first page.
When he looks back at her Buffy could see the anger in his eyes, when she had first told him about Coulson being alive he had broken her punching bag before punching a hole in Fury's office, her father hadn't been far off from doing that either.
All of them were hurt by the fact that non of them had been made aware about Coulson's resurrection given that they had all cared about him.
Buffy steps forward and places a hand on her friend's arm trying to calm him and he instantly calms at her touch before squeezing her hand back.
"You need back up?"
Buffy smiles before shaking her head "I'm good. But I could use some thai food you in?"
Steve shakes his head in amusement, it still shocked him how much this girl could eat "Sure." He agrees before laughing in amusement as Buffy's eyes brighten up.
Shaking his head he moves to sit at her desk while she grabs the thai menu.
Steve watches the Stark girl as she circles around her desk flipping through menus and smiles, she was honestly his only friend that he trusted completely now, which was ironic given the fact that she was a Stark.
The blonde tucks a strand of golden hair behind her ear before frowning as she spots Steve still watching her intently "You alright there Rogers?"
Steve stunned out of his zone clears his throat before nodding "Yeah—um—just wondering when I'm gonna get that Wifi lesson?" He jokes only making the Slayer roll her eyes.
"I told you when you settle someone other than Brooklyn we will talk." She says honestly, as much as she loved New York, what she didn't love was her father bombarding her in her apartment every day. Honestly, when she had lived in New York after what happened to their beach house he had shown up every day to torment her. Hence the move to Washington, this was his least favourite place on the planet, except for maybe New Jersey.
Steve shrugs, he had been considering moving out here for a while but had yet to tell her, the idea of saying goodbye to Brooklyn was just so upsetting.
And so with that the two order their food and merely chat for several hours enjoying each other's company.
Buffy slips off her heels as she walks into her townhouse apartment, with a sigh she leans against her front door. Why she agreed to pretend to be the weapons consultant for SHIELD and Stark Industries, she would never understand.
She missed the days of chilling in Scotland living the Slayer lifestyle, no press conferences, she masks and a wig that inches like hell... just being herself.
After a long beat the 24-year-old vampire Slayer makes her way down the hall of her apartment before tossing her jacket and bag onto the couch.
Running a hand through her hair she heads into the kitchen and grabs the bottle of scotch off the counter before pouring herself a drink.
Xander had begun to worry about her drinking, as had Steve, but after everything that happened with her getting tortured and finding out about Angel's death, she had had a bad year.
Downing her drink she leans her elbows on her counter top enjoying the rare moment of silence, but because of who she was, she really should have realised how stupid she was to think she would have any moment free.
"Sup Buff!"
Buffy jumps in shock and grabs a knife off the counter only to sigh in annoyance and slight anger at the sight of her father walking out of the training room with a grin on his face.
"Dad, what the hell are you doing in my apartment!?"
Tony merely frowns confused as to why she was yelling, "Technically it's mine."
Buffy frowns in confusion before slowly it dawns on her, she was totally gonna have to change her name if she wanted any peace and quiet "You bought my building!"
Tony winces and raises his hands in defence as he spots the furious look on her face, maybe he shouldn't have said that "No...maybe...well technically the company bought it...after I ordered them too...okay yeah I did."
When he finally sighs in defeat Buffy groans loudly before glaring at him "I'm so calling Pepper."
Tony's eyes widen in panic "Buffy, come on—"
Sighing the blonde places the knife down before running a hand through her hair and turning to her father "Dad...I'm 24 years old, you gotta take a beat from me eventually. Why don't you hang out with your friends."
"I don't have friends." He points out before jumping onto her couch getting too comfortable as he grabs the remote for the tv "So what we watching tonight?"
"Dad."
Tony pauses and glances back at his daughter who had her arms crossed, sighing he groans "Come on Buff. I have you, I don't need friends."
"I hung out with you all week." She points out "You showed up on my date last week. We need to talk about boundaries. Seriously, I'm mean...you're old. Hang out with I don't know...old people."
Tony glares at his daughter "You're making me like you less."
PERU
The next day after having to practically force her father to leave her apartment and go communicate with people who weren't his daughter, Buffy was now standing in a Quinjet heading towards the co-ordinates that Fury had sent her.
"How far off are we?" She asks Natasha as she moves to sit in the seat beside the assassin who had agreed to drop her off on her way to her own mission.
"No long, half hour at most." The red headed Russian tells the blonde who nods before leaning back in her seat and staring out of the window at the clouds.
Natasha glances over at the blonde before noticing her playing with the red metal bracelets on her wrists, shaking her head in amusement the red head smiles "Heard Stark was at your apartment again last night."
Buffy groans loudly "I need to move."
Natasha laughs loudly "Probably. I'm sure Rogers would be happy to let you stay with him." The red-head says with a sly grin making Buffy frown in confusion.
Why was she looking at her like that?
"What?" She asks completely clueless as to what the red-head was getting at.
Natasha shakes her head in amusement, it seemed like Buffy was the only who didn't notice it. Well maybe other than Stark, but he was blatantly refusing to see it let alone acknowledge what was brewing between the Captain and The Slayer.
"Nothing." She smiles before she spots them coming up on the 0-8-4 location "Time to suit up." She tells the blonde who shakes her head in amusement before standing and making her way into the middle of the Quinjet.
As Buffy moves towards the middle of the plane where her wig and glasses, which her dad had upgraded to be more a mixture of night-vision goggles and sunglasses, she couldn't help but glance back at her friend "Nat, what was the last 0-8-4, Fury didn't get a whole lot with the explain-y."
Natasha shakes her head in amusement, that sounded about right to her "A hammer."
Buffy rolls her eyes at that "Lovely." She breathes before placing her long raven haired wig on and tying it in a ponytail.
Once she was sure the wig was on the Slayer activates her bracelets and slowly the bracelets transform into gauntlets and her suit begins forming around her.
Honestly she loved this suit, it was the perfect mess of Iron Man with a bit of Amazon Warrior.
The only problem was that she realised just how flashy it was on her last mission, the red and silver had stood out like a sore thumb.
Hence why after much arguing she had convinced her reluctant father to tone it down, the suit was now black and navy with a dark red lining the edges of the metal still. Honestly she preferred it this way, as much as she loved her dad she wasn't as flashy as him.
Once the suit was fully formed the blonde glances over at Natasha who was now walking towards her, having put the plane on auto-pilot.
"Don't freeze when you see him."
Buffy rolls her eyes at the assassin's words "I'm good. Anti-freeze me." She says cheerily with a smirk before putting on her mask.
Natasha shakes her head in amusement before opening the hatch which would allow Buffy to drop out of the plane "No parachute?"
"Oops?" Buffy teases before giving her friend a smirk and a small salute and then leaping out of the plane diving head first out.
