I own nothing
"It really not my place to tell you this, but they are in a relationship." Fury said.
"A relationship. Really? A romantic one…he doesn't seem her type." Phil asked.
"I would guess he is her type, Coulson. I saw them on the jet. He did not want let her out of his sights. It's cute really. After he found out she was hurt he would not her walk on her own. I think he carried her since then. In fact, I don't believe he left her side." Natasha said.
"She got hurt," Phil asked concerned.
"Yes, Coulson, Agent Eden was injured. I do believe that Captain Rogers was taking her to medical bay. Go to your sister, Agent" Fury said.
Phil quickly walked out of the bridge. He was heading to medical bay.
Meanwhile, Steve was standing outside of the medical bay. They would not let him inside when they were checking her ribs. He was pacing. He was wringing his hand with worry. He couldn't remember the last time he felt like this. He had seen people get shot and die but he could not stand the sight of Evelyn being hurt. He ran his fingers through his hair. He sighed. He turned. He stopped for moment and looked at the door longingly. A nurse came out of the room.
"She is fine, they are giving her pain meds now you can go in if you like," The nurse stated.
Steve did not wait a full second before he charged in the room. Evie just finished zipping up her cat suit. Her eyes did not have as much pain in them. She had a better splint on her ankle. The doctor was talking to her quietly. Evie took note that Steve was there. She smiled up at him.
Her smile light up the room with her joy. Steve could not help his self but walk over to her kissed her lips. Phil walked into the room just in time to see Steve kiss her. Evie wrapped her arms around Steve neck. Steve pulled away and smiled down at her. He started to run his hands down her hair in soothing manner. Phil watched them for another moment before left to head back to bridge. Steve helped her off the exam table. Her legs nearly gave out when she put weight on her legs. Steve caught her before she went down.
"We need to stop doing that, Evelyn," Steve teased.
"Why? I have you to catch me," Evie teased back.
Evie and Steve both smiled at each other. His hands were nearly on her breast. He took note of that and blush a bright shade of red. Evie kissed the tip of his nose.
"Come on, let's see what's go on in lab" Evie said.
Meanwhile in the lab, Bruce was doing a scan of Loki's spear. Tony was on the other side of lab. He was messing with computers monitors.
"The gamma readings are definitely consistent with Selvig's reports, of the Tesseract. But it's going to take weeks to process." Bruce said.
"If we by pass their main frame and direct route to the Homer Cluster. We can clock this at around 600 teraflops." Tony said.
"Ha… all I packed was toothbrush." Bruce laughed.
Tony started to walk over to Bruce. He started to look at instruments on the lab table.
"You know, you should come by Stark Tower sometime. Top ten floors all R&D. You love it. It's Candy Land." Tony said.
"Thanks but the last time I was in New York, I kind of broke Harlem." Bruce said.
"Well, I promise a stress-free environment. No tension, no surprises" Tony said.
Evie and Steve walked into the lab. Right when Tony shocked Bruce with electoral probe. An electrical discharge was heard throughout the room. Evie point her hand at the probe. It flew to her hand. Tony turned and looked at her like she was spoil sport.
"Ow!" Bruce yelled.
"Hey!" Steve yelled.
"Nothing?" Tony asked.
"Are you nuts?" Steve asked.
"Jury's out." Tony said.
"Really this juror finds you nuts," Evie said
"Says the woman with no memories of whom or what she was before S.H.E.I.L.D. found you," Tony said.
"Yeah, let's make fun of woman that was used as science experiment and left for dead." Evie snapped.
Tony turned back to Bruce. He completely ignored Evie. She looked over to Steve. He looked less then pleased with the goings on.
"You really have got a lid on it, haven't you? What's your secret? Mellow jazz, bongo drums, huge bag of weed?" Tony asked.
"Is everything a joke to you?" Steve asked.
"Funny things are." Tony stated.
"Threatening the safely of everyone on this ship isn't funny," Steve stated to Tony. Then he turned to face Bruce "No offense, Doc." Steve said.
Bruce looked up from his work. Evie came around from Steve and placed the probe on the table. Then she leaned over to talk to Bruce. She reached out and placed a comforting hand on Bruce hand.
"It's all right. I wouldn't have come aboard if I couldn't handle pointy things." Bruce said.
"You're tip-toeing, big man. You need to strut." Tony said.
Tony turned to look down Evie suit. She pursued her lips and looked at him with an icy glare. He had bag of blueberries in his hands. He offered her one. She smiled by shook her head no.
"So, how you feeling doll face?" Tony asked.
"Better now that I have pain meds," Evie replied.
"Oh? What did they give you?" Tony asked.
"Vicodin and it was a lot. Being that it takes a lot to make me not feel pain. Also can't get drunk. It's not fun" Evie said.
"Lucky and that sucks, dolly" Tony said.
Tony smiled at her. Evie smirked back at him. He raised his eyebrow at her. Then he looked over to Steve then back at her.
"And you need to focus on the problem, Mr. Stark." Steve interjected.
"You think I'm not?" Tony asked.
Tony turned back to look at Steve. Evie lean back and stepped closer to Steve. Tony raised his eyebrow when he looked at pair of them.
"Why did Fury call us in? Why now? Why not before? What isn't he telling us? I can't do the equation unless I have all variables?" Tony asked.
"You think Fury's hiding something?" Steve asked.
"He's a spy. Captain, he's "the" spy. His secrets have secrets." Tony started. He popped a blue berry in his mouth. Then he turned and looked at Dr. Banner before he continued, "It's bugging him, too. Isn't it?"
"Uh… I just want to finish my work here and…" Bruce started.
"Bruce," Evie interjected.
"Doctor?" Steve asked.
"'A warm light for all mankind,' Loki's jab at Fury about the cube," Bruce said.
"I heard it," Steve said.
"I think that was meant for you." Bruce started. He pointed at Tony. Stark in turn offers Bruce a blue berry. Bruce took one before he continued. "Even if Barton didn't tell Loki about the tower, it was still all over the news."
"The Stark Tower? That big ugly," Steve started. Tony glared at Steve. "Building in New York?" Steve finished asking.
"It's powered by an arc reactor, a self-sustaining energy source. That building will run it off for, what, a year?" Bruce asked.
"It's just the prototype. I'm kind of the only name in clean energy right now. That's what he's getting at." Tony stated.
"So, why didn't S.H.I.E.L.D. bring him on the Tesseract Project?" Bruce asked.
"Good question, any clues Flower Child?" Tony asked.
Evie glared at Tony. She could tell where this conversation was going. She walked closer to the table. She wore wicked grin on her face. Tony backed up a step.
"If I had any idea I would tell you, jackass," Evie snapped.
"I have few questions for you Evie about your precious S.H.I.E.L.D. One, in all the years that you worked for them did they ever find out who you were beforehand?" Tony asked.
Evie back up and shook her head no. Steve placed his hand on her back. Before, Tony continued on his questioning.
"Two, did they ever find out about who did this to you? Did they bring them justice? I mean you were a child when they found you or at least enough of one to be raised by them. I'm not parent but I would want to know if someone harm by child. I would want them brought to justice."
Evie had thousands of question popping in her head. She turned around. She was so confused. She never once question S.H.I.E.L.D. since they found her. They had taken care of her and being there for her. But Tony did bring up a very good point. They never once tried out who she was before the experiments. Where they using her? She questioned herself. Steve looked down at Evie. He pulled her into his chest and held her close. Bruce looked at Tony with not very pleased look. Tony was happy with himself for he got a reaction out of her.
"What are they doing in energy business in the first place?" Bruce asked.
"I should probably look into that once my decryption program finishes breaking into all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secure files." Tony said.
Evie removed her head from Steve's chest. Steve looked very irate. Evie also had an irate look on her face. She looked at him wide eyed. Steve's jaw was clenched.
"I'm sorry. Did you say…"Steve started.
"What!" Evie said.
"Jarvis has been running it since I hit the bridge. In a few hours, I'll know every dirty secret S.H.I.E.L.D. has ever tried to hide," Tony said.
Tony walked over to Evie and Steve. Evie glared at Tony. She looked like she wanted to hit Tony. Steve looked about the same. Tony put out the bag of blueberry toward Steve and Evie.
"Blueberry?" Tony asked.
"Yet you're confused about why they didn't want you around." Steve asked.
"An intelligence organization that fears intelligence, historically, not awesome." Tony said.
"I think Loki's trying to wind us up. This I a man who means to start a war and if we don't stay focused, he'll succeed. We have orders. We should follow them," Steve stated.
"Following's not really my style." Tony said.
"And you're all about style, aren't you?" Steve asked.
"Of the people in this room, which one is A. wearing a spangly outfit, and B. not of use? I mean even Eden here can sense and control energy. " Tony said.
"Stark that is enough." Evie snapped.
"Steve, tell me none of this smells a little funky to you?" Bruce asked.
Steve looked at Evie then over to Bruce and Tony. He looked lest then pleased. Evie still had some question she wanted answered. She looked slight on Tony and Bruce side. They did have a good point.
"Just find the cube" Steve snapped.
Steve walked out of the room. Evie went to follow him. Tony turned back to Bruce. Before Evie got to the door she turned back and looked at Tony.
"If you find anything out about my past let me know please, Mr. Stark" Evie said.
"Tony, Evie and will do. That's the guy my dad never shut up about? What do you see in him?"
"He makes me laugh," Evie giggled. (1).
Tony looked at her oddly before he caught on to her movie quote. Then he smiled and laughed. Bruce looked at the pair oddly.
Then he shook his head.
"I like you Evie. You should be with someone like me." Tony said.
"In all seriousness, why I'm with him is not a simple question. Its many things, Tony, the most being we understand each other. And I do believe Pepper would kill you," Evie said.
Tony nodded his head. Evie smiled at the pair with a dreamy look on her face. Bruce went back to looking over the spear. Tony walked over to Bruce as Evie ran out of the room to catch up with Steve.
