As soon as I walked into work today, I knew it was going to be a bad day. I barely stepped into the new S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters when Agent Hill runs up to me. "Agent Sharp, Director Fury needs coffee, would you please go on a coffee run? Also possibly bagels? It's already been a long day."
I mentally swear. "Sure. I'll be back soon."
Now, coffee and bagels don't seem so bad right? Well, when Director Fury always requests you for the coffee run, it's bad. He likes things a certain way and I have spent most of my time while at S.H.I.E.L.D running to get shit for almost everyone. (Don't even get me started on Agent Barton, dear god). What really sucks is I feel like all the training to make me a good agent is going to waste when I'm just an errand girl for all of S.H.I.E.L.D.
I sincerely hope that I get a break soon before I actually snap.
I got the coffee and bagels without much problem, and quickly got back to headquarters. I shuffled quickly to the elevator to get the stuff up to Director Fury. "Errand girl again? Geez, I thought they would give you a break by now." A voice behind me says.
I turn quickly. "Oh, um hello Steve Rogers. And yeah, I honestly don't know if it's ever going to end." I laugh halfheartedly.
Steve gave me a warm smile. "Well, I've seen you train before and you're good. I think everything will be put into place soon."
"I sure hope so." I reply.
We both get off to see Director Fury. I go in first, hoping to get out of there fairly quickly to get onto some paperwork. "Ah, Agent Hill said you would be bringing coffee and bagels…good work Agent Sharp." Director Fury says.
Well he certainly doesn't seem stressed as Agent Hill implied, but then again…Director Fury doesn't really show emotion. "Thank you, Director…now if you don't mind I have some paperwork to do…" I start towards the door from his office.
"Agent Sharp, I'm not done with you yet." Director Fury says.
I turned around and hopefully didn't give him a 'what the fuck' look. "Um, is there anything else you need?" I ask.
"Yes actually. But before I get onto it, will you tell Captain Rogers to come in the room?"
"Um sure…" I reply, moving over to the door.
I open it to see Captain Rogers patiently waiting outside the door. "Um, Director Fury wants to see you now." I say.
Captain Rogers turned to look at me. "Oh, okay, you seem unscathed. All done in there?" He asked.
"Um, no…actually he wants to see both of us."
Steve quizzically raised his eyebrow. "Really? That's interesting."
We both make our way back into Director Fury's office.
"So, I have a few things to say to the both of you." Director Fury started.
I was super nervous. I don't even know why, honestly. "First, Agent Sharp, after all this time of knowing you, I have found that you are a very trustworthy person…and you know I don't I trust people easily." Director Fury continued.
Um, what? I was confused, but I nodded my head anyways. "You have never, ever messed up any of my coffee orders…that's why you're the best at that, and you've never tried anything sly with me, and that's great."
I nod, still confused. "I have decided something. I am going to assign you a new partner, I think you two will be good together." Director Fury says. "But only if Cap here says okay."
Um, wait what? Am I going to be partners with the Captain America?
"Your new partner will be James Buchanan Barnes, or Bucky Barnes."
WAIT, WHAT? My eyes widened in shock. Wait, Director Fury thinks I'm the best person to be partners with the mentally unstable Winter Soldier? We only found him not that long ago, and he's super unstable because of how many times his memory was wiped and the fact that he was in cyrofreeze. "I'm okay with that, I think Agent Sharp would be a great help to Bucky." Steve replies.
I'm mentally screaming right now. I also can't believe Steve said okay. I'M NOT OKAY. NOT AT ALL. "Well, it's settled then. Congratulations Agent Sharp, you just got your first assignment." Director Fury says, giving me a small smile.
Author's note:
Hey, so it's been a long time since I've submitted any fanfiction so I'm definitely a little rusty! This is based after the events in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed it! Sorry about such a short chapter, I promise they'll be a little longer when the story picks up!
