Jen sat at her station at SHIELD headquarters. She sighed.
"Hey Jen." Agent Brock Rumlow who's the Commander of SHIELD's counter terrorism team, walked up to her and perched himself on the smooth table. "Got a sec?"
"No." Jen deadpanned as she stacked her papers and moved them for a few different piles. "What do you want?" She never looked at him, truth is she thought he's cute, but she's sworn off from dating, deciding she doesn't need a man to make her happy.
"Some of us are heading to that new bar in the downtown area after today's shift." He said. "I'm offering if you want to tag along."
Jen was tempted, she did need the drink after what the day has given her. And the day was only half over. "No thanks." She finally looked at him. "You guys go and have a macho and alpha male contest." She grabbed the stack of papers in front of her and moved her chair backwards. "I'm late for a meeting with Director Fury." Getting up she started to walk away.
But Rumlow fallowed her. "What's with you?" He wanted to know as they walked into a hall. "I've been trying for months to get a date with you." He said as they walked past Clint Barten, who paused in his own walk and decided to fallow.
"Because I'm not interested in dating." Jen told him. "What's not to understand?"
"A pretty girl like you can't stay single forever." Rumlow replied, and bumped into her when she suddenly stopped in front of him.
Jen turned around to face him. "What's that suppose to mean?"
"The way it sounds." Rumlow responded simply, he sighed. "Please? I'm just asking for one date."
Jen turned on her heel so fast, her hair slapped Rumlow in the face before she stalked off and around the corner.
"Jen is not the kind of girl you take to a hotel for a one night stand." Clint said as he walked up to stand next to the other agent, who glared at him.
"And how would you know, nest boy?"
"Jennifer Rogers is my friend." Clint said firmly. "And you're blind if you can't see that ring on her finger." He pointed at the other man. "She refuses to take off that ring so don't you dare try anything with her."
Rumlow shoved his hand away. "I will snag a date with her. Just you watch!"
"I'm warning you pal." Clint threatened as he took a step forward.
By now the two men where ready for a fist fight.
"If you two are threw here in the hall." Natasha said as she walked up to them. "You should use the gym or take it outside in the street." She never stopped her walk as she past them.

Jen was leaning against the wall around the corner. A tear rolled down her cheek as she once again thought about Bucky.
"I am not going on that ride again." A quizzy Jen said as she sat on a bench, leaning forward with her arms on her knees.
Bucky is sitting next to her with one arm around her shoulders and the other ran up and down her arm. "I'm sorry." He apologized. "But you said you could handle the ride."
"And you beleived me?" She didn't look up.
"Of course I did!" He said. "I just didn't think Steve would go on it."
She finally looked up at him. "Where is he anyway? I'm worried."
"He wanted to rinse his mouth." Bucky answered just as Steve came walking up to them with three drinks in his arms.
"I got Sprite for all three of us." He said as Jen took one of the drinks.
"Sprite always feels good after empting your stomach." She smiled. "Thanks Steve." She took a long drink from the straw.
"Thanks Steve." Bucky said with a nod as he took one of the two drinks left in Steve's arms. "But I didn't get sick."
Steve shrugged. "It was either that or diet cola." He took a long drink from his own straw.
"I'll pass on the diet." Bucky said making a face.
Jen snapped out of her flashback to see Natasha waving her hand in front of her face. "You ok?" The red head asked.
"I, I'm fine." Jen quickly said.
"All agents, Code 13!" The voice on the intercom exclaimed.
"That can't be good." Natasha said just before a man who look very familer to Jen ran past them.
"Steve?" Jennifer breathed.
"Come on!" Natasha called, grabbing her arm before the two got lost in the sea of agents, whom were also chasing after Steve.
