Hello everyone, I know I've been gone for a while but a lot has been changing in my personal life. But I wanted to thank you all for supporting my writing with your views and reviews it's very helpful. I apologize ahead of time for misspelling or incorrect grammar. I write late at night and my eyes don't notice them. And I've been watching more MCU stuff and will add more cameos and characters later on. Hope you enjoy this one,

Natasha and Thor laughed while my cheeks turned red, I took a deep breath and grabbed a cup of coffee. Steve made me a plate while I got another cup of coffee for him. We walked to the dining room to separate ourselves from Natasha's and Thor's jokes.

"Hey Kida, what did Natasha tell you?"

"Nothing"

"She must've told you something, cause you turned red right afterwards."

"She asked if we used protection."

"Protection from what?" I looked up at him and he realized what I meant. "Oh…"

"Yep"

"Morning love birds" Clint said as he walked down and sat with us, soon the entire team had joined us.

"So how'd you sleep last night Rogers?" Natasha asked with a smirk on her face.

"I'm not listening" My dad mumbled "I'm not listening"

"Come on Stark she's eighteen she's practically a grown up now." Clint commented

"Yes and she has reached the age for her to find a suitor and marry." Thor said with a smile on his face, but it disappeared when I kicked him in the shin.

"I can hear the bells already." Natasha added, I waved my hand and her coffee moved and filled her entire plate.

"Oops" I whispered "so how is everything on Earth? Anything exciting?"

"Nothing much" Clint said "Oh Fury wants to talk to you, about a job opening."

"Oh no, Kida is going to finish school before joining SHIELD."

"She can be a part time agent" Natasha said

"Which she won't" My dad snapped

"Shouldn't I be the one making the decisions about my life?" I asked, my dad bit his tongue. He knew fighting with me on that would just leave to an ugly argument.

"Well what are you going to do?" Bruce asked

"I'm going to think and choose which one is best for me."

"University…" My dad whispered

"Dad" I scolded and he shut up "I'll talk to Fury about that job opening."

"Good he says it's important."

We all finished breakfast and while I cleaned the table I noticed Bruce and Natasha laughing while they stood in front of the sink cleaning dishes. It was almost as if they were…..flirting. Clint was behind me and I grabbed his arm and turned him around.

"How long have they…." I raised my hand and pointed at the two of them. "Are they even a real thing?"

"Your dad is betting on how long it will take for Bruce to notice she likes him."

"What?!" I whispered to prevent them from noticing. "How long has that been going on?!"

"Well a few months after you left Natasha's place was blown up and she moved in here to stay and they've been like that ever since."

"I never thought she would be the 'find the special someone and settle down' type."

"Normally she isn't, but people can change."

With that he left and I finished cleaning before going back to my room. There I grabbed my tablet and called Fury.

"Hello Fury" I said once his face appeared on the screen.

"Good to see you're still alive and well Ms. Stark. After your little incident in London."

"At least Thor and I were able to keep it from becoming a 'big' incident. Clint told me you have a possible job opening for me."

"Yes, I am putting a little squadron together with Rogers, Romanoff, and some of my top agents. I am aware that you haven't been trained like a SHIELD agent but you have been trained like Thor in Asgard. And that's something we can use."

"I'll think about that offer, until then I got to go take care of something. Bye Fury."

I hung up and went downstairs to talk to Steve, I found him in the gym beating a sandbag until it fell to the ground. I could see all the anger and pain on his face every time he threw a punch. I knew he was thinking about the war. When he finally noticed me I smiled a little and walked over to him.

"How are you feeling?" I asked

"Do I look tired?" He asked with a little smile. "I feel fine"

"You didn't look ok."

"It's nothing"

"Don't lie to me." I crossed my arms over my chest

"I just don't want you to be worried about it." He put his hand on my arm and I grabbed it.

"But I already am, I know that look in your eyes. The memories of the war are haunting you."

"It's not the war, it's what happened during it…I lost a close friend of mine."

"James Barnes."

"How did you-"

"I did my research on Captain America when I first joined the team. I know what it's like to lose someone and feel like…..it's your fault."

"How?"

"I was there when Phil died, I had the powers to heal him but I let my guard down and Loki took them. Then in Asgard, Queen Frigga, the woman who was like a mother to me, was killed while I was too busy trying to hide Jane."

"Their blood isn't on your hands." He raised his other hand and held my chin.

"And neither is James'."

He smiled and gave me a quick kiss before hugging me tightly, I smiled until I realized he was covered in sweat.

"Eww Steve you're sweaty" He laughed when I tried to move back

"Embrace it" He said pulling me closer and lifted me off the ground.

"NO! HAHAHA" I laughed when he spun me around until he finally put me down. "Oh my god I almost forgot the reason why I came down here."

"What's that?"

"Fury offered me a job, he wanted me to join your little team." When I mentioned the job the playful look on his face became serious. "What?"

"Did he tell you how dangerous these missions can be?"

"No but the danger won't affect my decision."

"It should, you can go to a good school…you don't have to fight."

"Yes I don't have to, but I fight to protect the people. My people, you of all people should understand that."

"What if you get hurt? What if I lose you….like Bucky?" I held his face in my hands and he looked down into my eyes.

"I'm not going anywhere for a long time." I went onto my tiptoes to kiss him.

"Yeah Rogers!" Clint cheered from above us, we both looked up to see him and Natasha in the railings with a bucket. Within seconds Steve and I were soaked in ice water.

"That's for spilling my coffee." Natasha said "Now we're even."

They high fived each other and left, Steve handed me a towel from the locker room. I was walking to the door when Steve stopped me.

"Kida, if you want to take the job, then do it." He said "I'll support your decision."

"Thanks Steve"

I went up to my room and sent a quick message to Fury, I changed into dry black jeans and white tank top. While I pulled my hair into a ponytail my dad walked in.

"Hey can you go pick up some groceries for dinner?" He asked

"Really?"

"Do you want me to serve it to you on a golden plate like in Asgard, your majesty?" He said in a snobbish voice

"Maybe" I replied with the same snobbish voice

"Get your butt to the grocery store." He said as he walked down the hallway. "Welcome back to Earth princess."

I laughed and put on black combat boots and light brown leather jacket. I grabbed my purse with the grocery money inside and left. Happy was driving my mom around D.C. today so I took the subway. I was too busy reading my book I realized I missed my stop, so I quickly got off the next one. But when I got to the street I had no idea where I was. I walked around a few blocks and couldn't find the supermarket. So I just went to a little mini-mart and picked up the groceries. My phone rang and I stopped on the sidewalk. While I was fishing for my phone I felt a man bump into me but I tripped on something plastic.

I fell backwards onto my butt and dropped my groceries, I looked up and realized the plastic stick was a long white cane. The man stood frozen with an open mouth with dark glasses.

"I'm so sorry" I said quickly grabbing the groceries "I didn't see you"

"It's ok I should be the one apologizing." He went down on one knee and helped me pick up the dropped groceries.

"It's ok, it's fine" When we reached for the same apple his hand landed on top of mine. I felt a sudden rush and pulled my hand away. "Thanks."

"Your voice is very familiar….have we met before?"

"Oh no but you've probably heard me on TV or something, I'm Kida."

"Kida Stark?" His jaw hung low

"The one and only" A large smile formed on his face.

"Wow I can't believe it…I-I heh you're amazing."

"Thanks"

"I'm Matt, attorney." He reached his hand out and I shook it.

"Nice to meet you, you wouldn't mind telling me how to get to Manhattan?"

"I can give you a ride." He said

"You drive?"

"No" He laughed and waved his arm and a taxi pulled over, he was able to reach down and open the back door.

"Thanks Matt"

"Nice to meet you Ms. Stark." He said after he closed the door.

"Please you can call me Kida."

With that the taxi drove off and I went back to the tower. I took the elevator up to the apartment and saw my dad and Bruce eating pizza. I put the groceries away and took two slices from the box.

"What took you so long?" My dad asked

"I got a little lost."

I ate the pizza and walked back to my room, I walked to my desk where I saw all the brochures for school. I looked through all of them before throwing them into the trash. I turned around when I heard a knocking on the door. I turned around to see Thor in his armor.

"Hey big guy" I said "What's up?"

"I've come to say goodbye" He slowly walked inside

"Goodbye? Where are you going?"

"I'm going to stay with Jane in England, but she has a phone that you can use to contact me."

"You really need to learn how to use a phone haha." I went up to him and hugged him. "Be safe big guy."

"You too…sister."

He placed a little kiss on my forehead before leaving, I could see the lights flash on the helicopter pad. My phone rang and I answered it and realized it was Fury.

"Hello Director"

"Agent Stark, since you've agreed to join the task force I have a mission for you. Extraction mission in Brazil."

"When?"

"Tomorrow night, your plane will be leaving tonight at the tower."

"Tonight?"

"Is there a problem Ms. Stark?" There was a long pause, I just got back home. And now I was going to be sent on a mission. But this was my job now.

"No sir,"

"Good, when you arrive in Brazil Agent Rumlow will give you further instructions. Over and out." I hung up and bit my lower lip.

I stayed in my room until everyone was at the table ready to eat dinner. My dad called out my name and I walked to the dining room. I waited until everyone was seated to make my announcement.

"Kida is everything ok?" My dad asked

"Yeah I just have an announcement. I took the job Fury offered, and I'm now an agent of SHIELD."

"That's great" Natasha said

"But…"

"But what?" Bruce asked

"I've been assigned to my first mission and I'm going to leave tonight. My plane arrives at midnight."

"Tonight" Steve repeated

"Don't you think that's a little bit too soon?" My dad asked "You just got back."

"I know but I'll be back within a week, you guys will be fine."

"We'll just be worried if you'll be fine." Steve mumbled, I reached under the table and grabbed his hand and gave him a reassuring smile.

We ate dinner in awkward silence, Natasha and Clint gave me a pat on the back while my dad dragged his feet to the living room. I followed him where he sat on the couch with a glass of whiskey.

"Dad, come on it's late." I said "You should get some sleep."

"I hate this"

"Hate what?" I sat down next to him

"You're growing up, and soon enough you'll be out of the tower. I still remember our little trips down to the beach and you would just sit under the umbrella with me and watch the dolphins." He smiled at the memory. "That little girl is gone, but I don't want to let go."

"You don't have to dad." I smiled and hugged him tightly. "No matter what happens, what I say or do, or where I am I will always be your daughter."

Midnight,

I stood in the doorway in my silver armor and watched the jet land in front of me. I was suddenly pulled back and bumped into a familiar chest. I looked up and kissed Steve as he lifted me off the ground.

"Be safe" He whispered

"I will be, then we'll go get that smoothie." We smiled and I walked out to the jet, I turned back while the hatch was closing and I gave him a small wave before the jet suddenly took off.

Brazil, Morning

I landed on an aircraft carrier a few miles away from the Brazilian coast. A man stood by the door, I walked over to him and shook his hand.

"You must be Agent Rumlow"

"That's right, good to meet you Agent Stark. Follow me and we'll get started."
