A/N: Sadly I don't own Captain America or any of the character besides Juliet who is entirely my own. This story is pre/during The Avengers. It's my first OC character so I'm actually quite nervous about it.

It was 6 in the morning when Juliet's alarm went off just like it did everyday for the past year. Thankfully it was Sunday so she didn't have to go to therapy. She went every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Her routine was the same since she got back from the war, wake up at 6 and go for her morning jog until about 7:30. When she got home it was a nice hot shower and then reading, watching a movie or something to bide the time of her boring and jobless life. She rarely had guests over in her small apartment because she wasn't a people person.

When Juliet finally opened her eyes she slowly got out of bed and left her room. Trudging across the hardwood floor to the kitchen cupboard. She opened the cupboard and pulled out Captain Crunch and poured herself a bowl. She really wasn't in the mood to get up today but she had to. After finishing her breakfast she quickly got changed into her tank top, shorts and running shoes. Grabbing her iPod she hurried out of her apartment and headed outside.

Juliet loved to run, she loved how the music practically flowed through her as she ran and took all of her cares away, all of the bad memories of the war just escaped her mind and was replaced with calm and relaxed thoughts. It was when she momentarily looked down to change the song on her iPod her small 5-foot body ran into something soft and firm. She closed her eyes preparing for the impact of the cement when muscular arms wrapped around her waist and caught her.

Slowly she opened her eyes and was met with the softest baby blue eyes she had ever seen. A small blush crept up on her cheeks and she stood, "Sorry," she apologized to the man before her. He finally realized the position they were in and quickly let go of Juliet's waist blushing profusely. "Uh, sorry. I..should probably uh, yeah." Juliet chuckled lightly at the blonde's awkwardness, "Yeah, I have to go. Thanks though for saving me," she smiled at the man before waving goodbye and left him continuing her jog.

The rest of her jog Juliet's mind was filled with that mysterious blonde that caught her from falling. I shouldn't be thinking like this the brunette thought to herself. It's only been a year since Tom… she shook the thoughts out of her head and finally took in her surrounding. It was only then she realized she was at the door of her apartment. Sighing she unlocked the door and entered dropping her keys and iPod on the coffee table before heading towards the bathroom and taking a long hot shower.

It was 8 in the morning when she finally got out and got dressed for the day. Once dressed she left her room, sat on the couch and grabbed the remote there was a knock on her door. Confusion was written on her face as she looked through the peephole and her eye focused on the dark skinned man wearing a long black trench coat and an…eye patch. She opened the door and looked up at him, "May I help you?"

"Juliet Katherine Murphy, I have an important job for you. May I come in?"

A/N: Please tell me if she seems too Mary-Sue because then I'll change some things but please also keep in mind that not everything about her was explained. This is kinda a test run, so please tell me what you think :)
