Chapter 9

Clint woke up two days later and both him and Agent Hill had been given a couple weeks off. Agent Hill was having to walk with a crutch. She is still at work but is off missions for a while but she still had paperwork to do. She need to go to the Stark Tower and get Agent Romanoff to sign some files. She would have asked for Natasha to come to SHIELD, but she knew that she wouldn't leave Clint. It had been two weeks since the hospital chat with Steve and Agent Hill really didn't want to go to Stark Tower, with the chance of running into Steve but she had to go. She walked out of the elevator and hopped into the living room. Natasha and Clint were both sat on the sofa. Agent Hill hopped over to her and handed her some files. She signed them and handed her back.

'Are you ok?' Natasha asked. Agent hill nodded.

'Yes I'm fine,' Agent Hill said. 'Are you ok?' she asked Clint.

'Yep I'm fine, get to have a couple of weeks of work,' Clint said smirking. Clint was lying on the sofa holding his stomach while watching the TV. Agent Hill nodded and the turned and walked out of the door and headed towards the elevator. Before she got there the elevator doors opened and Steve walked out. He stopped when he saw Agent Hill. He had just come back from his jog and was covered in sweat.

'Erm…Hello Miss Hill,' Steve said. She nodded.

'Hello Captain Rogers,' she said. Steve smiled awkwardly. 'I'm just here to get Agent Romanoff to sign some files,' she said holding the files up. He smiled and nodded.

'Please excuse me, I have just got back from a jog, so I am going to get a shower,' Steve smiled and Agent Hill nodded and walked into the elevator. Steve watched her go into the elevator and the doors shut. Steve sighed and then walked into the living room.

'Awkward,' Clint muttered. Steve stared at him and Clint smirked at him. 'Well it is a bit awkward between you two.' Steve collapsed onto the sofa and put his hands over his face. Ten minutes later Tony came up from his lab in his Iron Man suit.

'Come on guys, we have a mission,' Tony said and went into the kitchen and got a drink of scotch.

'Do you really think you should be drinking before we go on a mission,' Natasha said getting up and checking her weapons. Tony shrugged. They set off on the mission. Clint had to stay at home. Everyone in the jet, even Tony, he said he can't be asked to fly because he was a little tipsy. They landed in Washington.

'Why can't the police deal with this shit,' Tony said looking out down the street, people were rioting on the streets. Tony sighed.

'This is gunna be easy,' Natasha said getting out her gun and Steve got his Shield ready. Tony flew up into the sky.

'HEY YOU LOT!' Tony shouted they all looked up. 'ME AND MY FRIENDS HERE WANTED TO STAY AT HOME TODAY, BUT YOU GUYS ARE STOPPING US FROM DOING THAT!' Tony shouted. 'NOW MOVE IT ALONG AND GO HOME OR WE ARE GUNNA MAKE YOU!' Tony shouted and held up his hand, ready to fire. The people all legged it back down the street and ran out of site. Tony landed back down next Steve but staged a little bit, Steve grabbed him before he fell.

'How much did you have to drink before we left?' Steve asked. Tony shrugged.

'I don't know,' Tony said.

'Guys Fury wants us at the helicarrier,' Natasha said.

'What? One of those shitty meetings with council again, god I hate them,' Tony said and took off into the sky hen Natasha nodded. Tony started to spin around and doing rolly pollies in the sky.

'Last one there is a loser, which is all off you then,' Tony said, laughing and leaving them on the ground. Natasha rolled her eyes and got into the jet, everyone followed. They walked into the helicarrier. Fury stood talking to the council, Agent Hill was sat on one of the chairs because of her leg. They all walked in and Agent Hill turned to watch them walk in. Her eyes landed on Steve, he smiled lightly and Agent Hill looked away towards the table.

'Good day Director Fury,' one of the council members said and the screen went black. Fury turned around.

'Did you stop the rioting?' Fury asked. Tony nodded, smiling to himself.

'We really didn't have to do anything,' Steve said. 'Tony being a little drunk just shouted at them all.'

'It's noon Stark,' Fury said. Tony shrugged.

'It's never too early to drink, and I'm not that drunk ok,' Tony said. Steve dozed out of the conversation and looked over towards Agent Hill. She was in her uniform, looking all professional. Why make the uniforms so tight, Steve thought and then realized what he had just thought, he was a gentleman and gentleman don't think like that.

She could feel his eyes on her, but she didn't look. She knew if she looked then that would be it. She really liked him, maybe even loved him. But love was for children and wasn't right at this moment. With SHIELD and trying to find the bastard Loki and stop whatever he was doing. It had been two weeks and still no sign of him. Maria slowly moved her eyes from Fury and looked over to Steve. He was staring at her, but was deep in thought. He blinked and then smiled. His smile was so charming. She smiled back at him, but only a little. Agent Hill didn't show emotion normally. She looked down at the table and smiled to herself.

Steve smiled at her when she looked over to him. His heart had skipped a beat. She looked down at the table and Steve watched as he saw her smile to herself. Steve knew it. She liked him, Agent Hill liked him. He would have to talk to her after the meeting, which reminds him, he is the leader of the team and should listen to Fury. There was movement and Fury got up and walked out of the door. Steve blinked, the meeting had finished. Everyone else slowly made their way out of the room. Agent Hill stood up, she didn't have a crutch anymore but she did have a bit of a limp. She grabbed the files at were in front of her and walked out of the meeting room. Steve quickly got up and followed her outside.

'Steve you coming,' Tony asked. Steve looked towards Tony. They were about to walk to other way down the corridor.

'Hello…cap, you coming back to the tower?' Tony asked. Steve blinked.

'Erm no… I've got…some things to do, I'll be back later,' Steve said. and Tony smiled.

'Oh, yeah… Some things to do, right,' Tony nodded and walked down he corridor and after everyone else towards the jet.

Steve jogged down the corridor to catch up with Maria.

'Agent Hill, can I have a word please?' Steve asked. Agent Hill kept walking.

'I'm sorry I have a lot of things to do,' Hill said looking through the files she had. She did look busy. Steve thought it could wait till another day. Steve was about to turn around but he decided not to.

'It will only take a second,' he said, knowing that it won't but he really need to talk to her.

'Look Steve, I'm very busy right now, can this please wait?' Maria said. Steve froze, she had just called him Steve, she has knew do that and Mari realized it too.

'You just called me Steve,' he said dumbly.

'Yeah I know,'

'You never call me Steve,' he said. Maria sighed and walked to her office and Steve followed. Maria walked towards her desk and dumped the files on her desk. She waited a minute and then turned to Steve.

'Sooo…' she began.
