Chapter Nine: Dr. Jarvis and the Pin-up

Steve got home, and wondered if he should take a page out of Tony's book and have a scotch. Not that it would do anything, but he wanted to make sure tonight was real. He'd taken a beautiful dame on an actual date. It surprised him even more when said beautiful dame called him babe. In his time that particular term was only used in private intimate activities, so he heard. Not that he had any experience in that department.

Then she had kissed him he had been completely stunned, not knowing what to do. It would be a lie if he said he didn't enjoy it, it just caught him off guard and he'd been about to wrap his arms around her. When Sam interrupted them by throwing open the door. From there he had been too flustered to say goodbye to Darcy.

He pulled out his cell phone and sat it on the counter. It had been a gift from Tony a modified version of a new stark phone. The only thing he liked about it was Jarvis was loaded on it and at first he was uncomfortable with the AI. In the coming months during the Bucky debacle, he'd become priceless. So now when his mind was buzzing full of thoughts. He liked talking to Jarvis who had become protective of him much to Tony's displeasure.

" I didn't even say goodnight to her, she must think I'm a heel." he muttered

"No Captain, from my findings Miss Lewis is gushing to her sister about the evenings events." Steve didn't want to know how Jarvis found his findings.

" Is this really going to work? I'm…." he stopped, he didn't want this new budding relationship whatever it was with Darcy to fail. He liked Darcy a whole lot, in the past two days she had filled his life with her light. The problem was that he was Captain America, and he didn't want to loose Darcy when she found out. Darcy was a normal girl, as normal as he had found in this modern age. She didn't scare him or intimidate him as much as some of the girls Natasha wanted him to date.

" Captain would you like to make a Pro-con list?" Jarvis asked making Steve smile. Jarvis knew his liking for pro-con lists. Of course most of the big decisions in his life were made on sheer determination and strong beliefs with a little stupidity.

" Pro Darcy likes me for Steve and not Cap." he said grabbing a sketch book an pencil.

"Con not telling her is lying." He doodled on the edge of the page " Pro Darcy likes me as Steve she might be okay with the idea of me being Cap." he sighed and scrubbed a hand over his face.

" Con she'll be in danger eventually if she's with me." that's happened with people he loved they always got hurt or killed. He sighed again , he would probably have to end this before his feelings got too strong. He looked down at his sketch book, instead of a pro-con list he had drawn a picture of Darcy's smiling face. It seemed he was too late at stopping this, she already had her hooks in him, probably had from the moment he had seen her running toward him and Sam shouting for help.

"Jarvis" he said as he put his head in his hands with a drawn out sigh.

" Yes Captain" the AI asked and to Steve the AI sounded concerned, which made him shake his head at the absurdity of it all.

" I do believe as Tony likes to say, I'm so screwed it's not even fun anymore." he could be hearing things but he was sure Jarvis just chuckled.

"Do I have any of those textums?" He asked to get his thoughts off Darcy. He was never any good with his phone and at night would ask Jarvis for help. And if an important message came in he would alert him.

" Three Captain, one from Dr. Banner, one from Sir and one from Miss Lewis." Steve sighed so much for getting his thoughts off Darcy.

" What is Dr. Banners?" he asked deciding to save Darcy's message for last.

" Hi Steve just checking in, you doing okay" Jarvis read, Steve smiled slightly , Bruce was a worrier and made sure to check up on everyone who lived away from the wondered how Bruce, Tony and Clint were faring in New York.

" And from Tony?" he asked and was sort of afraid of anything Tony sent him. The man sent horrifying messages some with porn pictures. He always had Jarvis open them now, so he wouldn't be traumatized.

" Hey Capsical how's everything going with your soviet." Jarvis read blandly, Steve blinked in the world of Tony that was concern. He picked up his phone and had Jarvis pull up the message program and he replied to Tony and Bruce. Then placed his phone back on the counter and pulled a water bottle out of the fridge.

" And Darcy's?" he asked Jarvis as he took a swig from his water.

" Hello, Mr. President." Steve blinked, that didn't even make sense was it a movie reference?

" There is a picture attached as well Captain would you like me to project it?" Jarvis asked.

" Sure" he said and a picture was thrown up onto the white wall of his kitchen. Darcy black curls tumbling over her shoulders, scarlet lips in a pout and her black cat eye glasses at slight angle. She was wearing a sinful pink dress and had on small hand on her full hip, the other twisted into her black curls. He promptly choked on his water he knew a pin up when he saw one. Dames back in his day sent there fellas pictures like this all the time. Of course that was during a war when men needed a moral boost and good thoughts of home. Why on earth would Darcy send him a pin up, she knew he was veteran did she think he would like it?

" Do Dames often send pictures like this to there fellas, Jarvis?" he asked not that he was complaining, he'd never received a pin up before and Darcy's was beautiful.

" Yes Captain, some women send pictures that make what Sir sent you mild, they call it sexting. But in Miss. Lewis's case, I think she is showing off her new dress." Jarvis said Steve nodded so like fantasy love letters and nudes of his time but instead of sent in envelopes it was over the phone, it made sense.

" So how do I reply to her?" he asked messages over the phone were different from letters sent in the mail. He didn't want to accidentally insult her when he was trying to compliment her and earn a slap to the face.

" Just tell her you like the picture Captain. And complement her dress, but keep it pg" Steve chuckled he could do that, he picked up the phone and carefully typed

' You look beautiful Doll, that dress looks gorgeous on you.' that seemed okay Jarvis deemed it appropriate and sent it off.

He had just stepped out of the shower when Jarvis informed him Darcy sent him another message.

' Thanks handsome, I know it sets my girls off. I had fun tonight, will I see you tomorrow at the rehearsal dinner?' He blinked sets her girls off, what did that mean?

" Jarvis what dose that first sentence mean?" he asked drying his hair off with a towel.

" Miss. Lewis means her new dress highlights her breasts." Steve sputtered, she'd really texted him that? How did he even reply to that with out sounding like a pervert or Tony? He decided just to answer her other question.

' I enjoyed tonight very much as well. Yes I'll be attending the rehearsal tomorrow.' and he sent it off, he was climbing into bed when Darcy replied.

' I'm glad I didn't scare you off, your lips are sinful. Yea! Your going to ditch with me when Beth finally goes cray cray and shanks Kitty.' he flushed at the first sentence , the second made him chuckle lucky he knew what cray cray meant thanks to Tony.

' My lips are sinful? Says the woman who blew my socks off tonight. And wouldn't Beth be upset if we disappeared doll.' He might be pushing it a little but sent the message off hoping she wouldn't slap him tomorrow for being forward. A few minutes later his phone binged and Jarvis opened the next message.

' I'll show you sinful tomorrow babe just you wait. I'll blow more than your socks off. And Beth wont care much, she'd just assume we were bonking like bunnies in a broom closet some where.' Steve almost dropped his phone, how did he answer to that? What was the polite response? He knew how he wanted to answer but that was beyond forward and would get him slapped. His phone beeped again before he could type anything.

'Anyway Goodnight babe, sleep tight don't let the bed bugs bite.' he sighed face flushed and quickly typed a response.

' Goodnight Doll , I'll se you tomorrow.' Steve rolled to his side placing his phone on the bedside table. Darcy surprised him at every turn, some things she did or said confused him. Others were comforting and reminded him of his time. He still had no idea what to do, keep her in the dark or tell her. He turned of the lights and tried to get comfortable on his marshmallow soft bed.

" Goodnight Jarvis." He said exhaustedly as he settled himself more comfortably.

"Goodnight Captain." Was it sad he was so close to the AI? He cringed when he realized this is probably how Tony felt. Was he actually a lot like him? God forbid.
