Of course with her luck, the next week she had another mission with the admirable captain and with her luck it was a stakeout mission, her least favorite.
She wasn't good at sitting down and just watching and listening.
She had immediately started cursing, not wanting to do this mission with god damn Captain America of all people.
But of course once Fury glared her down with his one eye and an aura that commanded respect and she clamped her mouth shut. She respected Fury, she's been witness to him making impossible things possible too many times to not respect Fury but he pisses her off.
"Fine whatever I'll do the goddamn mission" she muttered looking anywhere but in his eye as he looked pleased, leaning back in his chair.
"Yes of course you will, I want a full report this mission is for him not you" he said as she nodded, holding down a scoff and marched out of his office.
She was stopped not far by Maria Hill as she gave her the most charming smile she could muster.
Maria was a complete badass in Kit's opinion and had her complete respect.
She sighed at the mutant, "Helloo Agent" giving her a half smile, leaning against the wall.
"I have the file for your mission, can you give the other one to the good Captain?"
Kit snatched the file from her "Only if I can take you to dinner next week" she said leaning in smiling still as Agent Hill rolled her eyes at the mutant.
"Sorry Kit, all work and no play"
"You're definitely not dull though" Kit said winking.
"Captain usually hangs around some gym downtown in Hell's Kitchen, goes by the name of Fogwell"
"Yeah yeah I know where that is"
"You used to live in that area didn't you?"
"Yeah for a bit, I moved in with Nat for convenience but I still own an apartment near there I was thinking about moving back in" she said shrugging as she nodded.
"You better go do that, and honestly I love living alone you should try it" Maria said shrugging at her before turning on her heel and marching into Fury's office.
Kit walked to the address, it was an older gym she noted as she glanced at the building outside. She couldn't help but assume it gave Steve some comfort being in an older place like this, even if it's not exactly from his time of course it had some aura about it that was hard to find.
She walked in, an older man was sitting at the front desk and he smiled when she walked in as she quickly fumbled to smile back on him.
"You're here for the Captain ain't ya? All cops have that look about them" he said smiling.
"Uh yeah I just have some work for him"
"Amazing isn't it? An American symbol a walking historical figure" he said awed as Kit gave him another weak smile.
"I let him and another special guest here after hours, I was just leaving the keys are on the front desk please lock up before you leave unless a young man named Matt arrives" giving her a kind smile as he gathered up his jacket, pressing a key into her hand.
"Of course Sir, Thank you!" she squeaked.
She walked past him, there was a boxing ring in the middle of the room surrounded by various gym equipment and walls of mirrors.
It had a nice feel to it honestly, she silently mused to herself if maybe she should start coming here instead of the SHIELD gym for training.
She put her hands in her jacket pockets, leaning against the wall when she saw him.
He was standing in SHIELD sweats and a white tee shirt punching at a punching bag extremely hard, he seemed deep in thought as he punched it across the room making the bag shatter, something she's only seen Natasha accomplish before.
"Can't a guy get some privacy in this day in age?" he said finally glancing her way as he started picking up another punching bag off the ground, she noticed he had quite a few lined up.
"Sorry, would of just left it at your apartment if I knew" she said quietly, teleporting herself a few feet closer.
"Would of left what?" he asked, wiping off his forehead of sweat with the back of his bandage wrapped hand.
She held out the file to him in front of her "A mission, a small one I'm assuming Fury wants to break you in. I'm the one who's going to be babysitting you" she said trying not to sound bitter.
"Sorry to hear that"
"Oh no that's not what I meant, it's not a problem trust me I've had worse missions"
He cracked a smile at her, "I'm sure you have" he said honestly as she raised her eyebrows and pursed her lips together.
"I'll leave you to your destruction of private property now, see you tomorrow at 0800" she said lazily saluting him ignoring the look he shot her as she turned on her heel to leave.
As she was leaving cursing herself she was met face-to-chest with a t shirt, a t shirt who's owner had very well defined muscles she noted before glancing up at a very handsome, very bandaged face.
He was saying something to her she realized and jumped back.
"Hey I am really sorry I was just leaving" she said, noticing his sunglasses-and his cane OH! 'Oh good Kit so instead of just throwing yourself into the chest of a hot dude you bumped into the chest of a hot blind dude, perfect' she said mentally cursing herself.
He had a charming smile on his face as he shook his head "It's fine no damage done"
"If anymore can be, I'm referring to the bandages" she said gesturing, before almost slapping her forehead.
He put his hand up to one of the white bandages on his cheekbone "Ah yes I bump into a lot of things, for good reasons I assure you" he said still giving her a smile as he gestured to his cane.
"Oh wait you must be Matt" she said remembering the older man from earlier.
"I'm sorry? Have we met?" he said now obviously confused as his smile slipped.
"The nice older man up front, when I walked in to talk to my...co-worker he told me to lock up when we left, unless you showed up" she said digging in her leather jacket for a minute.
"I will give this to you then" she said picking up his hand and pressing the key into it.
"Ah yeah, he has a soft spot for me I guess, my schedule doesn't usually allow for a lot of gym time during the day" he explained.
"Trust me I understand the whole not having down time thing" she sighed, thinking back to the last time she got vacation time. Not that she asked for it honestly, maybe she should talk to Fury about that.
That's when she noticed her phone in her back pocket had been buzzing this entire time, too distracted with the stranger she hadn't realized.
Fishing it out she cursed as the light of her phone hit her face.
3 missed calls - Agent Coulson
1 missed call- Natasha
Kit audibly sighed, "As nice as this was I have to get going, nice to meet you Matt"
"Oh yes! I should be going to work out, nice meeting you…I never caught your name?"
"I never threw it" Kit said smiling a little enjoying their banter and sad she had to go as she slipped towards the door.
"Well I guess I'll see you around mysterious stranger" he said jokingly gesturing to his glasses
"I doubt it" she quipped back quickly slipping out the door.
