Oli Kayla walked into an old gym in D.C., the sort of place where a super hero from the 40s would be late at night. She was in a knee high black dress that contoured to her figure perfectly, black heels that were high but not too high and and her hair was out, slightly bouncing as she walked.
Upon entering, she heard the sound of grunting and a punching bag hit the ground and then saw the man himself, Captain Steve Rogers
"Having trouble sleeping?" She asked him. Steve turned around and began taking the tape off his hands
"I've slept for 70 years ma'am, I think I've had my fill" Steve answered, not taking his eyes off her. She was beautiful
"Then you should be out, celebrating, seeing the world" Kayla said, walking towards him
"When I went to sleep, the world was at war, I wake up, they say we won, never mentioned what we lost" Kayla nodded understandably, she knows they didn't tell him everything
"We've made a lot of mistakes Captain, some very recently" She answered handing him a file,
"The Tesseract? Why have you got this?" Steve asked in both confusion and shocked
"I don't know myself, but a guy called Loki has taken it, he's not from around here" Kayla explained "We're sort of at war now"
"What if I don't want to go?" Steve asked. Kayla gave him a small, mischievous smile and walked closer to him
"I'm sure I can be very persuasive" Kayla said in a low, seductive voice. At the moment they were very close to each other. She slowly grabbed his hand, twisted it, flipping them, her legs around his neck, flooring him and she rolled over and stood up, smoothing out her dress
"I imagine that is nit the first time you've done that" Steve said rubbing his neck, looking up at the assassin
"No and its not the last, like I said Captain, I can be very persuasive" Kayla stated then her phone rang. It was Fury.
"Clark"
"Agent Clark, is the Captain in?" Fury asked
"Yes sir"
"Did you have to... Persuade him?"
Kayla glanced at the Captain who had just gotten up and grabbed a punching bag "I think he gets the idea that I can be very persuasive" she could hear Fury shaking his head and smiling
"Coulson will be on the roof of his apartment building with a quinjet, you leave at 9am sharp"
"Yes sir"
"And Clark? Keep him alive or out of the infirmary I tired of dealing with your, Romanoff's and Barton's 'accidents'". Fury ordered
"Not making a promise I might not be able to keep sir" Kayla shot back.
Fury sighed "Helicarrier tomorrow, Fury out"
"We leave tomorrow at 9am sharp. I will be at your door around 8:55, I expect you'll be ready" Kayla explained
"Yes ma'am, I never caught your name" Steve said
"Agent Kayla Clark" Steve nodded "Now is there anything on the Tesseract I ought to know?"
Steve picked up his gym bag and punching bag and began walking away"You should've left it in the ocean"
"Couldn't agree with you more" Kayla muttered as she watched him leave. Steve turned around, but saw she had already left and slightly smiled. She was a woman not to be messed with and he liked that, reminded him of Peggy.
Maybe they would be friends.
The next morning, she arrived at his door exactly at 8:55, Steve answered the door immediately and she had on a black leather jacket, navy blue tank, black jeans and those black ankle boots he had seen a lot of women wear.
"Right on time" Steve said as they walked up the stairs, he noticed the emotionless expression on her face
"Are you okay ma'am?" Steve asked
"Fine Captain" Kayla answered as they reached the roof. When they were there, they met with Agent Coulson who led them into the quinjet and they took off
"Captain Rogers, This Agent Phil Coulson" Kayla introduced as the two shook hands
"Its an honour to meet you sir" Phil said with big smile
"Thank you sir" Steve smiled back. Kayla rolled her eyes and started reading a file
"I sort of met you, I watched you as you slept" Coulson rambled. Steve smiled slowly faded
"This just got awkward" Kayla murmured then spoke up "We all sort of met you when you were asleep, my friend had to tranquilize you as you ran into Times Square"
"Okay" Steve nodded. He then picked up a file marked the Hulk and starts reading
"How'd it go with Stark?" Kayla asked Coulson
"He's still upset about Natasha's report, I'm not sure how Pepper puts up with him" Phil sighed shaking his head. Then Steve spoke up
"So this Dr Banner man was trying to replicate the serum Howard and Dr Erskine used on me?" He asked
"A lot of people were, you were the world's first superhero" Phil said "When he's not the Hulk, the guys like a Stephen Hawking"
"Who?" Steve glanced in confusion at both of them
"He's a really smart person" Kayla elaborated. Steve nodded and stood up and leant on the frame, Phil did the same
"I hope I'm the right man for the job" Steve sighed
"Oh you are" Phil reassured him "We made some changes to the uniform, I had a little design input, still has the stars and stripes"
"Aren't the stars and stripes a little old fashioned?" Steve asked, Phil was about to say something but Kayla took the words of out his mouth
"With everything that's about to come to light and everything that's might happen, a little old fashioned is what we need" Kayla said
"I don't think that anything could surprise me at this point" Steve chuckled
"Ten bucks says you're wrong" Kayla challenged then looked out the window "Guys we're about to land"
Natasha watched as the quinjet landed with her best friend in it. The words 'Barton's been compromised' still rang in her head. Unlike Kayla who loved and saw Clint as her big brother, Natasha loved, loved Clint but she was the Black Widow for a reason She snapped out of her thoughts when she saw Kayla, Coulson and Captain Rogers walk towards her
"Hey Nat" Kayla greeted,
"Hey Kayla" Natasha nodded and then looked at Coulson "They need you on the bridge, face time"
"I'll see you later" Coulson said as he walked away
"Captain Rogers, this is Agent Natasha Romanoff or The Black Widow" Kayla introduced as the three walked
"It was quite the buzz finding you in the ice, I thought Coulson was going to swoon" Natasha said with a slight smirk "Did he ask you to sign his trading cards?"
"Trading cards?" Steve asked a little bemused
"They're vintage , he's very proud" Kayla chimed as a confused looking man was walking towards them
"Dr Banner!" Natasha called him
"Agent Romanoff" he nodded
"This is Captain Steve Rogers and Agent Kayla Clark" Natasha introduced as they shook hands
"Word is you can find the cube" Steve
"Is that the only word on me?" Bruce asked nervously
"Only word I care about" Steve smiled making Bruce loosen up a little
"This all must be quite new to you" Bruce said
"Actually its all quite familiar" Steve said looking around. Kayla and Natasha both looked over the edge
"Gentlemen, you might wanna step back, its gonna get a little hard to breathe" Natasha told them though it sounded like a order
"Are we on a submarine?" Steve asked
"They want me in a pressurised container?" Bruce smirked. They both looked over the edge to see they were actually rising, the wind now blowing faster
"No this is much worse" Bruce joked
