Chapter 7

Jessica woke up bright and early the next morning after her date, she was surprised surprised at how wide awake she was. Tony hadn't left her apartment until gone midnight and when he had left she wasn't tired as all she could think about was that kiss. The electrifying kiss that she really didn't want to end, and it had pretty much confirmed that he was definitely one of her soulmates. At least she knew now that if she didn't feel that way the other three it would make her life less complicated.

She looked over at the clock and it had just turned 6am, she got herself out of bed and ready to go for a run. She always ended up going running every other day and if she was to be honest she had slacked recently but now that she was going to be dating members of the avengers she really needed to work on her fitness. She had seen what their bodies looked like with clothes on, but she could only imagine what a bunch of superheroes looked like without the clothes, let alone one of them being a God and a super soldier.

Once Jessica was ready she made her way to the park and put her headphone buds in and started casually jogging round her usual route. In all honesty Jessica hated running but once she would start and get into it she never really minded, it always cleared her head of any worries and concerns and after last night she needed some distraction.

Thirty minutes into her run she heard a familiar barking of Lucky who was now running towards her, Jessica removed her headphones and stopped as the dog jumped up at her. "Hey Lucky" she greeted him petting him behind his ears,

"Lucky!" She could hear Clint shouting as he jogged towards them, it was clear he didn't recognize Jessica and she didn't blame him she was wearing a baseball hat with sunglasses. "Down boy"

"Hey Clint" Jessica greeted him and Clint instantly recognized the voice and smiled at Jessica

"Hey Jessica, I didn't expect to see you here so early," he greeted putting Lucky back onto his lead.

"Attempting to run but I'm pretty sure I look like Phoebe from friends running" she laughed and Clint smiled obviously getting the reference. "Though Lucky stopping me has given me the perfect excuse to stop and move onto coffee." Clint nodded, "you're both welcome to join me if you aren't in a rush" Jessica quickly added.

Jessica came out of the coffee shop with two cups in her hands, she put the. Down and joined Clint at the table. They made idle chit chat about things and spoke about their interests, Jessica felt extremely relaxed in the presence of Clint and she wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing especially with him being a trained spy and more than likely a trained assassin. Clint asked Jessica about things in her life about her interests including her liked and dislikes and she found it quite nice that he actually seemed interested which was unusual compared to previous guys she dated (minus her date with Tony).

"So I want to know, how did you get into archery? I mean that's pretty unusual" Jessica asked

"Ah well I actually used to perform in a circus alongside with my brother and there's where i was taught it turned out I was pretty decent with it" he told her

Jessica chuckled at the comment 'pretty decent', "that's probably the biggest under statement I have ever heard, you're probably one of the best or the best in the world." Jessica could see a smile twitch at the corners of Clint's mouth it looked like he was trying to hide a smirk. It was clear he liked the comment but didn't want to show it.

Jessica looked at her phone quickly to check the time, "I really should be heading off and getting ready for work, my new boss is a bit of tyrant" Jessica laughed standing up, "I guess I may see you there later?"

Clint nodded while getting up and getting ready to take Lucky, "one more thing, I don't suppose you fancy going on a date Friday night? I would ask you to go on one sooner but I've been called out for some business"

Jessica knew what he meant by business, he was going out on a mission. "Could you do Saturday? I'm actually going dancing Friday night, maybe we could do lunch?"

"Sounds good" Clint said as they now both started going there separate ways. Jessica was already excited about there lunch date, she couldn't stop staring at the guy over coffee. She felt safe and comforted in his presence and this was something she hadn't felt in a long time.

Jessica had now made it to Stark towers, she had rushed home to get showered and changed for work and made a couple of quick stops before getting to work fifteen minutes early. She was relieved she had managed to get there so early as she was hoping to see Steve before she started.

She made her way to the common room and she saw Steve sat on a chair reading the newspaper, she made her way towards him and as she got closer to him he dipped the newspaper down to see who was approaching him. Steve smiled when he saw her walking towards her, "I have a gift for you" Jessica told him reaching into her bag to retrieve a envelope. She passed it to Steve.

"Jessica I really can't accept this," he told her when he opened it to reveal a wad of cash in there, he tried passing it back to her but Jessica held up her hands.

"I don't think so," she told him, "if you remember correctly part of the deal was to give this back to you when I got back to New York." Steve seemed really reluctant and he was basically refusing to touch it, "don't make me sneak that into your room" Jessica jokingly warned him.

Jessica started to turn around to make her way towards her desk for work when Steve quickly stopped her, "Jessica would you mind going on a date with me tomorrow night?" He asked, quickly adding "ma'am" at the end. She couldn't help but smile at how nervous he was, for someone who hadn't long saved the world from an alien invasion she wouldn't have pegged him to get nervous about anything.

"I'd love to Steve" she told him giving him a smile before leaving the room and making her way to start work.
