Review/Comments are still highly appreciated!

Chapter 2: Do it like a dude

Do it like a brother
Do it like a dude
Grab my crotch, wear my hat low like you

That woman, it must be Miss Hill, went to the overly oderly desk in the corner, never bothering to look over her shoulder. Steve did his best not to stare too openly at her backside, but who could blame him when the woman had a body like that. No, he wasn't supposed to think that way, it was sexist and this lady was going to be his partner, he had to be repectful and professional. Trying to calm himself down and not to blush too hard, he stopped in front of the empty table closest to her. "Is this going to be mine?", Steve inquired politely. Hill turned around and looked at him, seeming slightly annoyed. "Of course it is. This one is obviously mine", she added, pointing to the other one. "But since we haven't been properly introduced yet, I am Lieutenant Maria Hill. As you probably know I am going to be your partner, so we will have to get along some way or the other. The file I got stated you as Detective Steven Rogers, I did my own research though and found that it is actually Captain Rogers. But even though you are higher in rank, I can tell you right away I am not blindly following orders."

Wow, that was a lot to take in at once. The Captain was used to tough women, but never had one set up rules so clearly after only five minutes of knowing each other. However, he could agree to her terms, so he simply nodded and shook the offered hand. "A pleasure to meet you Ms Hill and I am sorry for being late, I am not used to the New York traffic yet. I will try and get myself familiar with the situation here as quickly as possible. However I might require your help on certain things like catching up with the current gang conflicts. I did some research in advance of course but there is only so much I could find without N.Y. clearance." It was the first time his new partner didn't give him a funny look, she rather looked a bit pleased. "Apology accepted Rogers. Make yourself at home, a new computer should be delivered shortly. Shaw's was a pain in the ass, you can be happy you won't have to deal with it I tell you. I would introduce you to all the guys here but I don't really have time right now. Also you actually only have to know the homicide department and the one girl from the drugs squad you will be working with. Detective Carter, I think you met her earlier. Tall, blond, pretty- but don't get your hopes up she turns everybody down." A little smirk played around Maria's lips and Steve wondered for a moment whether she might be jealous. Well, from her looks she didn't have to be. Definitely not. Rogers might not be looking for a relationship, but he wasn't blind either.

"Now, I've got to drop into a crime scene, a guy from an other station called me. Seems to be connected to one of my cases, a Russian group of weapon traffickers. They have gotten to another guy. See you later Rogers." She moved behind her desk to pack her things, fully concentrated and composed. Nevertheless the Captain had the impression as if she was waiting for something. Did she want him to make a move? Was she testing him? He decided to accepted the challenge (or risk to be turned down) and spoke up. "I could come too. Get into it straight away." His partner just shrugged her shoulders, only the twinkle in her eyes made the Captain believe she was actually pleased. "Suit yourself. But then you might need this one." Out if one of her pockets, she got a badge and threw it at him. Luckily Steve's quick reflexes enabled him to catch it before it fell. His reward was a slight smile from Hill and he caught himself thinking that she looked even prettier when she wasn't frowning. It surprised him that he got the badge from his partner and not from Hand, but well, this was not D.C., this was New York and apparently they handled stuff differently.

When he got in the car, he felt the familiar excitement starting to rush through his veins. No matter what the world would throw in his direction, he would take it on.
