Chapter Three
Jay had tried calling Sam multiple times, but he never answered.
"Hey Sam, it's Jay. Look I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday. Please call me back, I miss you, I'd like to hear your voice." She sighed and ended the voicemail. Jay tossed her phone in her bag and went to the training room, where Natasha kicked her ass and embarrassed her in front of the other recruits. Three recruits had already quit, but Jay was determined not to.
When she got back, she found her phone buzzing like crazy and she immediately picked it up.
"Hi Jay, I got your message."
"Sammy, it's so good to hear your voice. How are you?" She asked.
"I'm good, class is going well and.. I've meet someone." He told her.
"That's great, what's she like?"
"She is amazing, you and her would get along great. How are Dean and dad?" He questioned.
"Good I guess… I'm not traveling with them anymore. I'm working as a farm hand for a great family." She told him, which wasn't a complete lie.
"That's good, I'm glad you're taking charge of your own life."
"Jay, Steve wants to talk to you." Clint said from the doorway.
"I need to go, that's my boss, love you big bro." She hung up and followed Clint.
"Brother?"
"Yeah, the one in college, today is his birthday."
"Are you ok? Nat was pretty tough on you this morning."
"I'm ok. What does Steve want?" She asked.
"He wants to help you with your technique." Jay was still a bit starstruck around Steve and she had to admit that she kind of had a crush on him. Steve helped her improve her stance and showed her how to hit with a little more power.
"You're a good fighter kid, you're going to make one hell of an agent." He said with a smile.
"Thanks." She blushed.
"I was wondering… Tony is having a party tomorrow, would you like to go with me?" Steve asked bashfully.
"Yeah, that'd be great, but is that allowed?" Jay questioned, biting her lip. She'd give anything to dance the night away with the handsome, blonde supersoldier, but she didn't want to get kicked out of the program.
"As long as we keep everything professional." He told her, before leaning in close and whispering in her ear. "At least in public." The Captain's words sent a shiver down her spine, as she pictured all the rules breaking activities they could get up to in private.
"I'll see you tomorrow then, Captain." She gave him a quick salute before heading back to the recruits' sleeping quarters. Jay didn't own a dress, but luckily she had enough money saved up to get something nice. She bought an elegant, blue dress to match Steve's eyes, and she couldn't resist a Captain America themed bra and panty set. While she was looking at the patriotic lingerie, she felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to see her older brother.
"Dean?" She gasped and quickly put the racy underwear behind her back.
"So this is working as a farm hand?" Dean asked and raised an eyebrow.
"I'm on vacation, what are you doing here?"
"Dad and I are on a case, a woman was ripped to shreds in her locked apartment." He began to explain.
"No, nope, I don't want to hear about it. I left all that, I'm not having you drag me back in." She huffed.
"I'm not here to drag you back in, I was just going to tell you that you might want to skip town before dad sees you." Dean told her.
"I can't." She said.
"Why not? You said you were on vacation, just go somewhere else." Dean suggested.
"I have a date tomorrow." She told him, it wasn't a lie.
"So skip it."
"I'm not going to do that, dad can go screw himself. I'm done bending to his will." Jay hissed.
"You know, he is our father. He deserves your respect and loyalty." Dean spat, Jay rolled her eyes.
"Loyalty is the only reason I stayed as long as I did. Dad is a selfish and obsessed… and right now you're sounding a lot like him, I suggest you get out before you turn into an alcoholic bastard too." She barked and pushed past him to the register, Dean followed her.
"You have no right to say that, you don't understand what he lost, what Sam and I lost." Dean growled.
"Everyone has lost someone Dean, the only difference is, they move on." Jay paid for her stuff and Dean followed her outside where Clint was waiting.
"Clint, what are you doing here?" She asked.
"Nat and I have the night off, she wanted another shot at kicking your ass. Who is this?"
"This is my brother, he was just leaving." Jay informed him.
"Can I at least get a hug, it's been a long time since I saw you and I'd like to leave on a lighter note." Jay hugged him and breathed in his scent, it was the smell of the impala, old spice, and apple pie… it was the smell of home.
The following evening Jay threw on the dress, put her hair up, and brushed on a little makeup. She met Steve out in front of Shield, he had on dress pants and a button down, blue shirt.
"You look breathtaking, doll." Steve said and opened the car door for her.
"And you're not so bad yourself, Captain." When they got to the party Steve introduced Jay to the rest of the avengers. She talked about cars with Tony for awhile and told him about the impala. She had a couple drinks with Thor, and pretended to know what Bruce was talking about. Wanda talked about the city with her and some of the stores she liked to visit.
Halfway through the part Clint pulled her off to the side, away from the prying eyes of celebrities and reporters.
"Jay, you're so sexy." He said, Jay could smell the alcohol on his breath.
"Clint, you're drunk and married." She reminded him.
"I've wanted to rip your clothes off ever since I picked you up." Clint told her as he started nibbling at her neck. Jay didn't want this, she was supposed to be enjoying the night with Steve, not being assaulted by her mentor. Jay kneed him in the crotch and ran to find Steve, tears streaming down her face. Steve was at the bar talking to Nat.
"Jay? What's the matter?" Steve asked and opened his arms to her.
"I don't want to talk about it, can we leave?" She asked and Steve nodded.
"Ok." She followed Steve out to the car and he handed her a handkerchief.
"I rented a hotel room for the night, but I understand if you would rather I just take you back to Shield Headquarters." Steve told her. Jay thought for a moment. She still wanted to have some fun with Steve, and she knew Clint might just go back to Shield.
"No, I'd like to go to the hotel, that is if you don't mind spending the night with someone who had an emotional breakdown in your car." She laughed.
"I'd spend the night with you no matter what." The hotel was much nicer than the ones she had grown up in. There was a bottle of champagne in a bucket of ice by the bed, and roses on the pillows.
"Steve, this is incredible." She said and kissed him.
"An incredible room, for an incredible girl." They had a couple drinks, before she stood up and took off her dress, revealing the red, white, and blue panty set. Steve blushed as he looked her over.
"Wow."
"Is that a good wow?" She chuckled.
"Yeah, you look amazing."
"You know, you can be a little dirty Steve." Jay told him as she unbuttoned his shirt and found that he was a full body blusher.
"I'm not really sure how." He confessed.
"Don't worry, I'm a good teacher." She whispered in his ear all of the things she was going to do to him and she felt his excitement grow against her thigh. Steve showed her the time of her life. It didn't matter that he was inexperienced, because he took his time to make her feel loved. Steve lost control towards the end and Jay knew she would have pleasant purple reminders of him in the morning.
Once morning came, they grabbed breakfast on the way back to Shield. They went to a diner that Steve liked. In the middle of their meal John and Dean walked in.
"Jay?" John asked.
"Hey, dad." She greeted awkwardly.
"Oh my God… You're Captain America." Dean beamed with the enthusiasm of a child.
"Steve this is my brother, Dean and my dad, John."
"It's nice to meet you." He shook their hands.
"So you lied to us? You said you were working as a farm hand."
"I was." She said, Dean raised and eyebrow. "I am, I'm just on vacation." Now it was Steve's turn to look skeptical. After a long, awkward encounter, the went back to Shield.
"I can't exactly tell them the truth and it's not like they'd believe me anyway." She reasoned.
"I understand, You just have to realize, this life isn't easy with family. I mean look at the lengths Clint has to go to." Steve said.
"Yeah." She sighed, remembering what had happened with Clint the night before.
"Now, get upstairs and change into those yoga pants that show off the tight little ass." Steve said, his face turning a bit pink.
"Oh, someone is a fast learner." She laughed and kissed him, before getting out of the car. On her way to grab her clothes, Jay passed Clint in the hallway. Clint looked down in shame and avoided her. Jay's heart sank and she held back tears, it seemed that things would never be the same between her and Clint.
