Sitting in a chair outside Fury's office Alice felt like she was waiting to go see the principle after breaking a rule. He walked out of his office, he must have been completely unaware of her sitting there because she had to call him back when he was walking away.

"Ms. Cage, what can I do for you?" Fury said, to Alice it sounded rather cheerful.

"I have come to um, cancel what I last said. I would like to take part in the missions yes." Alice stuttered out and Fury frowned.

"Does this have anything to do with what Stark said, calling you a wimp?" Fury asked and Alice shook her head.

"No, no, I just, I really want to help and I feel like I could help well." Alice lied, good thing she was a very convincing liar because it's not everyday you have to stand and lie to a well trained super spy.

"Are you absolutely positive you want to do this?" Fury asked once more, Alice really wanted to say no, but instead decided, what the hay.

"Yes, I'm positive, I'll even train myself some more if it'll make you feel better about it. I can ask Natasha or Steve to help me out with my training too." Alice suggested and Fury thought about it.

"Alright then, if you're sure you can handle it, and I think the training is a good idea." Fury said and Alice smiled and shook his hand.

"Thank you, Fury, I promise I won't let you down." Alice said before smiling one last time and walking away to go find Steve and Natasha. Turns out they were in the gym, the three of them, which included Stark. She walked in to see Steve punching a punching bag, Natasha hanging from a rope on the ceiling and Stark being a lazy ass sitting and typing away on the computer. Steve looked up to see Alice and smiled at her.

"Hello, Ms. Cage." Steve greeted her, she smiled at him and Natasha jumped onto the ground to welcome Alice.

"Please, just call me Alice, and I have some news." Alice said and Tony looked up at her, interested in what the news was too. "I was just talking to Fury and he's letting me go on missions with you guys! I just have to train extra hard though that's the only rule, that and not to get killed." Alice explained, taking a quick glance at Tony who was smirking.

"Are you sure that you'll be okay?" Natasha asked and Alice nodded.

"I just have to train day and night is what I was told, learn my strengths and know what moves to use when." Alice explained, they smiled at her, apart from Tony of course who was still smirking in amusement. "I was thinking of starting training now, but I'd prefer to start on my own as in nobody looking at me, so I'll just wait until you guys are finished."

"We'll be finished in a few minutes, we usually exercise when we can but now I think it's best if we do it as a routine." Steve explained and Alice sat down while the two exercised, she also tried to stay as far away from Stark as she could. When the two were finished they took their stuff and left, they weren't a problem, the problem was getting Stark to leave.

"Just leave please, I need to do some training." Alice begged, which she didn't do often, but she knew Tony was loving it.

"Why don't you just train and I'll stay here on my laptop not looking at you at all." He promised, Alice knew he was lying, she groaned.

"You're so fucking annoying!" She shouted while punching the punching bag, she couldn't help but love the rush she felt when she hit it. So she hit it again, and again, and again. Thinking about all the things in the world that annoyed her, with each thought she would punch harder and harder until, like she'd seen Steve do, she sent the punching bag flying to the other end of the room. Taking deep breaths and relaxing for a while she looked over to where Tony used to be sitting, but wasn't anymore. There was a note in his place instead though. Alice picked it up and it read 'I knew I'd piss you off! Just thought I'd give you some inspiration to get you started on punching the bag. Haha, you're so fun to annoy… Love, the amazing, rich, handsome, Tony Stark.' Alice couldn't help but chuckle at the note, she put it in her pocket then put up a new punching bag and kicked and punched this one. Until finally she had had enough training for the day, she grabbed all of her stuff and made her way to her room. When she got there she locked her door, a bad habit she had, and got ready for a shower…

After her shower and after she got dressed she decided to go for a little walk, to the lab to see how Bruce was doing on locating the Tesseract. As soon as she left her room she bumped into Steve and got knocked to the ground. 'Fuck he's strong!' Alice thought, as she looked up at him and raised an eyebrow.

"I'm so sorry Alice, here let me help you up." Steve apologized and put out his hand for Alice to grab. Just to be curious Alice wondered if she was strong enough to pull him down too, she did have super strength after all. She grabbed his hand and pulled him forward, he knew what she was doing straight away and smirked while pulling her up. They both seemed to be failing, but they both wanted to win, to be the strongest. After a while they used both arms but alas in the end Steve won. Maybe because he worked out almost everyday and all Alice done was walk for around and only started working out today. When she was hauled off the ground it was with so much force that she actually ended up bumping into him and he fell back to the wall. To the outside world it would look as if Alice was pressing him up against the wall purposely. She looked at him and got a little bit red in the face.

"Haha, sorry, I'm quite competitive sometimes." She apologized, he smiled at her, acknowledging how close they were, since Alice hadn't moved yet.

"It's alright, that was fun, and don't worry, one day you'll be as strong as me, maybe stronger." He told her, this made her scoff.

"As if, your Captain America, you're a legend, me, I'm just a regular girl that people think is a freak because she's really smart and dyes her hair oddly." Alice said while sighing and looking down. Steve tilted her head up with one finger, trying to make eye contact with her.

"You're not a freak Alice, your powers are amazing and your using them to help people and it doesn't matter what you dress like or look like, you're still beautiful. If people think that's freaky well then THEY'RE the ones with the problems, not you." He told her, she smiled at him again, she looked into his eyes and really felt like she could trust him. Which was odd considering she has a hard time trusting people. They both stared into each other's eyes and leaned forward but by the time their lips barely brushed together Fury was on their speakers.

'We've found Loki, Cage, Captain, you're up.' They heard Fury say, Alice then sighed and stepped back a bit.

"We should go get ready then." Alice said and Steve nodded and waved at her before walking towards his room. When Alice walked into her room she cursed the fuck out of the world.

"Stupid speakers, stupid Fury, stupid microphones that probably just heard me say that." Alice mumbled as she but on an outfit she had packed for missions, just in case. It was leather black skinny's, the usual black converse, a random t-shirt of her choice and a black leather jacket. She tied her hair in a pony to stop it from going into her eyes and on her way out grabbed a gun and put it in her pocket, just in case. She met Steve at the stairs going up to where the helicopter was waiting for them. They walked out together and hopped on the helicopter feeling prepared for what was ahead of them.
