It didn't take Kendra that much time to reach the medical bay. She knew the Hellicarrier backwards and forwards after all from exploring it with her brother. Kendra found Captain Rogers immediately, standing almost in the center of the room with half a million doctors around him. His face was bright red and he was stammering, trying to explain something to them. No doubt something about his enhanced body which was incredibly visible thanks to the incredibly tight uniform he had on. Kendra blushed at Steve's chest for a second before composing herself and walking over.
"Hey docs give him a little room!" Kendra said cheerfully as she approached. The doctors looked over and the second they recognized Kendra they backed off, not wanting to get yelled at by the infamous Dagger. Kendra smiled sweetly at them as she approached the Captain and smiled up at him the second she reached him. "I heard you got in a fight with a couple of gods. What was that like?" She asked him cheerfully.
"I don't exactly count them as gods ma'am. Just very strong men from another place." Steve said politely. He eyed the girl, wondering how she was doing. Her brother was still being held by Loki and yet here she was smiling and joking around. Steve wondered if she was really hurt or if she was just very good at hiding it.
Kendra rolled her eyes at the ma'am comment. "Captain Rogers you don't have to call me 'ma'am.' Dagger or Kendra is just fine with me." She told him, smiling. Steve opened his mouth to say something but Kendra waved him off. "I'm too young to be a ma'am. Please, just tone down the formal. I will too if it makes you feel better." She said.
Steve shifted his weight from foot to foot awkwardly. "My apologizes ma-Kendra. I'm just thought since you work for S.H.I.E.L.D..." Steve stopped talking, unsure how to continue. Steve had never had a problem dealing with kids, he got along with them pretty well, but Kendra wasn't exactly a kid and she wasn't exactly normal either. She worked for S.H.I.E.L.D, a secret agency that apparently Howard had helped create. There was no doubt in Steve's head that she had killed (probably more than just once) and yet she still looked like a kid. A very confusing kid but a kid all the same.
"You thought I'd prefer to be treated like a grown up. A professional." Kendra finished though she wasn't entirely sure that's what he wanted to say.
"Yes." Steve lied.
"You also aren't sure exactly what type of kid I am. You don't even know if you can consider me a kid." Kendra said because she couldn't resist not saying it. Steve opened his mouth to protest but closed it again when he couldn't figure out what to say. Kendra took her chance to look around the medical bay for Tony. "Our billionaire seems to have run astray." Kendra said, smirking slightly. Of course Tony Stark wouldn't be in medical. Everyone had told her how stubborn he was and just how attached to his armor he was. More than likely he was down in the storage space checking on his suit. Kendra smiled a little and turned back to Steve. "Anyways, Cap, I came down here to retrieve you. Fury wants you back up in the control room." She said cheerfully. Steve just kind of stood there, still not sure of what to say. "Come on." Kendra said, grabbing his arm.
Kendra practically dragged Steve through the medical bay, telling anyone who approached to go bother the purple unicorn in the storage deck instead of her. Steve apologized when he passed by them which just made Kendra chuckle and pull him along a little quicker. Coulson had been sooo right when he told her about the great Steve Rogers, he was the best guy you'd ever meet. Speaking of Coulson...
"Phil!" Kendra said cheerfully when she spotted her handler outside the medical bay. She pulled Steve along but released him before flinging herself at Phil, enveloping him in a hug. "Hey Uncle Phil can you do something for me?" She asked sweetly, smiling up at Coulson like an innocent little kid.
Phil smiled down at her thought there was a cautious look in his eyes. The innocent act never worked on him and it actually put him on edge most of the time. The "Uncle Phil" thing didn't exactly help. She only called him that when something bad was going to happen or she really really wanted something. "What is it?" He asked, sighing a bit. Of course he would do whatever she asked of him.
Kendra grinned triumphantly up at him. "Will you go find Tony and bring him up to the Bridge? Pleeeeease?" She begged him.
Phil blinked in surprise. "Is that all?" He asked uncertainly, confused. Kendra nodded, still grinning, and he chuckled. "Let me guess, Fury told you to get him but he's not in medical and you don't want to go searching for him." He said. Kendra nodded again, this time a bit more reluctantly as if she didn't want to admit that she was being lazy. As if Phil didn't already know how lazy she was. As if he did know how lazy either Barton was. They'd once called him and made him come from halfway across the world to pick up and hand them the TV remote five feet from them because they didn't want to get up to get it. "Alright I'll get him and I'll get Fury off your back if he mentions it, okay?" Phil said, smiling.
"Thanks Uncle Phil." Kendra said brightly before releasing him. She gave him one last bright smile before taking off towards the Bridge, dragging along the world's first superhero as she did.
