"Here's the Stuffed Owl you wanted" Steve handed off the large white owl.

"Where were you in my high school years?" Irene smiled up to Steve.

"Sleeping" Steve mocked.

Irene was about to respond but then looked up to Steve with a smile on her face. Steve broke the silence as they both laughed at the irony of his comment.

"I guess that one was a no-brainer"

Irene took out her phone from her pocket and glanced at the clock, surprised to see that it was already nearing 9 o'clock. She noticed that her sister had been calling her and left a voicemail on her phone. Without thinking, Irene placed her phone back into her pocket, guessing that the youngest sister was trying to play Mother Goose. She cleared her throat as she glanced at her owl before looking back up to Steve.

"I should probably take you home soon" Steve mentioned.

"No!" Irene shouted like the 8 year old right next to her, "I'm having so much fun right now"

"It's getting colder"

"There are heaters all around us" Irene shrugged, "I can manage"

"Your sister is probably worried"

"No" Irene snapped too quickly.

"Really?"

"Maybe she is a little bit"

"Which is why I need to take you home right away" Steve turned around to go back out of the courtyard.

Irene knew that what he was saying was true, especially when it came with her life in Maria's hands. But she was right now living her dream of being on a date with the Captain America.

"I'm pretty sure she'll be fine with it if she figured out that I was with you the whole time"

"Are you sure about that? I don't want your sister to pull out her gun at me" Steve told her, "I've had that happen to me before"

"You're scared of her, Steve! Admit it!" Irene teased.

"Aren't you?"

"After figuring out that she's a SHIELD agent… no"

"I thought that would make you scared of her even more" Steve said to her.

"It's no doubt in my mind that I was surprised at that little twist but that doesn't mean I'm scared of her. She's my sister" Irene let out, "I know that she wouldn't have the heart to kill me. No matter how tough she may look to other people. Just like how I would never think to use my powers on her"

"But what about Fury?" Steve asked.

"What about him?" Irene snapped back.

"You two just seem very tense whenever you're around each other" Steve put together.

"It's that noticeable, I'm guessing. Why haven't you asked him yourself?"

"Because I wanted to ask you. You just seem-"

"What?" Irene asked.

Steve stopped and looked over to Irene who had a hard face on already. He could tell that she was waiting for him to say something negative about her. In that moment, he felt pity for her, knowing that she was an outside. Unlike him, he was practically made a mutant, and yet people today still love him for his heroic acts.

"That you would tell me the truth"

"Really? Why wouldn't-"

"Fury-"

"Yes-"

"He's an Agent of SHIELD, of course" Steve told her.

"But he practically treats you like his favorite toy" Irene put in.

Steve looked at her, shocked by what came out of her mouth. He then felt the corners of his mouth turn up as he laughed at what she said. He shook his head as he noticed that Irene was smiling up at him. Steve then gained control and cleared his throat before he looked back down to the woman waiting for his answer.

"That maybe so" Steve let out, "But I know already enough that he won't tell me something that he knows will upset me. I figured that you would tell me anything that happened no matter whose fault it really was"

"What if I lie?"

"Then it's for your own good"

"Nick Fury and I have known each other for quite some time now" Irene mentioned.

Irene opened her mouth to say more but then her mind flashed back to countless close encounters she had with the one-eyed soldier. She rubbed both of her lips together in a tight hold as she heard in the distance, a slow song.

"Dance with me"

"Irene, what are you doing?"

"I'm changing the subject"

"You could've just asked politely"

"No, but then you would want to bring it up in a different time"

"I've never danced before in my life" Steve gawked at how swiftly he was moving with her.

"Steve, it's because I'm controlling you" Irene whispered, "If I wanted you to dance like how you would normally than all I can do is say the words"

"I don't think that would be a pretty sight"

"That's what I thought" Irene smiled, "So I'm imagining how a guy like you would dance with a girl like me"

Steve looked around them and noticed passerby's stopping and gawking at the couple, some girls giggled at them. Steve couldn't help but smile at them before looking back down to Irene.

"If you wanted me to do something romantic, all you had to do was ask. What about you? Can I ask you to do something for me?" Steve asked her.

"That depends on what" Irene said with a glint in her eye, "I hope this isn't the part where I hear that you're a perverted freak"

"What?"

"Never mind"

"I want you to sing for me"

"What?" Irene looked into his blue eyes, "You want me to sing for you? Why would I ever do that?"

"I might've heard that you won the talent shows all throughout college by singing" Steve shrugged.

"Damn it, Maria!"

"Actually it was in your profile"

"Why do you want me to sing for you?"

"Because you are making me dance"

"That's my power"

"You could've made me do a thousand other things than dancing"

"What's wrong with dancing?"

"This was definitely out of the ordinary"

"What if I like out of the ordinary"

"Then I would like it if you would sing"

"Why?"

"I think we're going about this the wrong way. I'm going to make you a deal" Steve proposed, "If you sing for me than I will stop asking about your past. I'll leave everything alone about Fury. I won't even mention his name again if that's what you want. Just sing me one song that you had written up and I will leave it alone. What do you say?"

Irene let out a low sigh as Steve twirled her around, "Fine. I'll sing for you"

"Really?" Steve beamed.

"Next time, though!" Irene quickly put in.

"And when will that be?" Steve asked, "You better not run away this time"

"Who says that I would run away?" Irene questioned.

Steve slowed to a stop in the dancing and dipped Irene in a perfect ending as the song came to an end. The crowd around them cheered, giggled, and clapped at their little performance as Steve and Irene both smiled at each other. Steve moved and picked Irene back up to a standing position, noticing that he had full control over his own body again. Irene shyly looked around and waved a thank you to everyone as she placed her hand in Steve's, smiling up at him as he winked and kissed her cheek.
