THE SECOND CHANCE
"You know you don't really have a choice in this right?" Your friend Ashley rang from beside you as you waited for your coffee.
"I am capable of getting my own dates believe it or not." You couldn't help it. She has been trying to get you laid for a year since... Well since HIM. You just weren't the type of girl for a random hookup.
"I get that you're somewhat of a prude but somethings gotta give T. You've been on two dates since Adam." She added.
"I'm perfectly aware of that Ash... They just weren't Mr. Right."
"A good time is anything with pecks honey." Ash chuckled.
"Victoria?!" the barista shouted amongst the crowd. You grabbed the coffee and you and Ash made your way to headquarters. She was talking the whole time but you could barely understand what she was saying. You knew your friend meant well but nothing she said could convince you. After you had discovered your ex-fiancé Adam cheating on you, you had broken off the engagement and moved without another word. By the next week you were settled in Washington D.C., in a new apartment and started your new career with S.H.I.E.L.D. You had no intentions of moving on in a relationship this soon. Not because you were scared, but because you wanted to focus on your career. You had previously been sort of an agent for hire. Adam had thought you were just a dental assistant. If only he knew. Since you no longer had anyone to impress you thought it was wise to finally delve into something a little more legit.
You liked S.H.I.E.L.D. You were a part of a team called SMOKE. Basically an undercover division that was a secret to even the most cleared agents. Even your best friend was completely in the dark. Everyone thought you were Fury's personal assistant.
Headquarters was bustling that day. Agents scurrying around here and there, getting coffee, delivering orders. You enjoyed the chaos. You parted with Ash and made your way over to the elevators.
"Hi Charlie!" You greeted the elevator security guard.
"Hello Tori! Beautiful day today! I saw Fury earlier, he seemed in a mood as usual." Charlie snickered as the floors climbed.
"Nothing new. Tell Sasha and the kids I say hi!" you told him as you stepped out of the elevator. Your heels clicked against the marble floor as you approached Fury's office. He had company. You could recognize Tony Starks voice from a mile away. You liked Stark, he was funny in an arrogant sort of way. He was with two other of the Avengers as well. Bruce Banner and Steve Rogers. You had met Bruce once previously and really enjoyed his company.
Bruce was smart and charming. His intelligence was unparalled and his sense of humor was welcomed. His numerous accomplishments were nothing less than remarkable. You had never met Steve Rogers however. You had seen multiple files about him and heard nothing but great things. Americas golden boy.
"Ahh Agent Knight. Nice of you to join us! Gentlemen I assume you've met her. If you have any questions on anything we have discussed today please feel free to direct them to her." Fury said. You smiled in response.
"Good morning gentlemen! Here is your coffee sir!" You said handing him is latte. He smiled as a thank you. Rare for Fury but welcome none the less.
"So are we supposed to apologize or? I have things to do." Tony said.
"Stark you dropped a man 30 stories for fun, to scare him..." The captain said.
"Tony I realize you have your ways. But next time can we be a little less harsh?" Banner added.
"Gentlemen we have to make sure we do everything by the book. I know sometimes that can be hard for you. But, please try to be more careful nest time." You said.
"Ok, I'm sorry... I've been scolded. Time to go boys." Tony said with a wink. He came over to you and gave you a friendly hug.
"Bye, Tori. Remember we have an appointment later toots." he said making his way to the door.
"I couldn't forget even if I tried." You laughed. The men made there way out as you caught up with Fury on what needed to be done that day. There wasn't much. Nothing you couldn't handle.
"Please file these reports after your meeting with Stark and remind Agent Hill she needs to leave for Russia in 1 hour." Fury said.
"On it!" You said happily as you made your way out the door. As you left you could see a familiar blonde standing by your desk.
"May I help you Captain Rogers?" I said holding the files against my chest. I knew he was leaving with Agent Hill to Russia so it was quite interesting as to why he was waiting for me.
"We haven't had the chance to met yet." He said with a smile. "I figured I should introduce myself. I'm Steve. Steve Rogers." He said extending his hand. You grabbed it lightly and was met with a strong but gentle grip. I couldn't help but realize how handsome he actually was. Blue eyes shimmered brightly and blonde hair fell in waves. He really was what you call the definition of an all American man.
"Victoria Knight." You replied. "It's nice to officially meet you. I've heard so much about you from Tony." he almost looked horrified at that statement.
"Nothing bad I hope?" He said.
"No nothing bad at all. He quite rather admires you actually." You smiled.
"Well I'm glad to hear that. Sometimes we don't exactly see eye to eye." he smiled in relief. "May I walk you to your destination?" he said gesturing down the hall way. You blushed a bit in response.
"Sure. Thank you!" You both made your way to drop off your files and remind Hill of her upcoming mission. Captain Rogers was very sweet. You talked about all the things he had been catching up on since his return. It had ben a little over a year and he had made some great progress.
"So you work for Fury? That seems like it would be kinda intimidating." he said.
"It can be sometimes. But its nothing I cant handle." you smiled. "Bringing him his coffee, filing his paperwork."
"Not a bad gig I suppose." he said.
You came to a hault in front of a big door labeled "WEAPONS DEPT"
"Here we are." you said.
"Meeting with Stark?" He laughed.
"Top Secret stuff." you giggled. This was nice. Captain Rogers was nice.
"Well I am off to Russia. I will see you around I guess?" he said.
"Absolutely! Thank you for walking with me. This was nice." You smiled. He returned with a warm grin and turned to leave. As he walked away you couldn't help your stare. He was big. Broad shouldered and strong. He was the first man you could honestly say you caught checking out. No no. This wasn't the time.
