Start from the beginning
                                    

'Really? Why do we need him?' I asked Phil, once she was out of earshot.

'We just do. Nick told me to get him.' He said and I nodded. Pepper and Tony exchanged a few words and he got the holograms from the tablet and they appeared in front of him. Pepper started to whisper something in Tony's ear. He smirked, Phil and I exchanged an awkward glance. 

'Let me escort you both out.' Pepper said, coming towards us. 

'I want to hear about the cellist. Is she still there?' pepper asked Phil.

'She moved back to Portland.' Phil said.

'What! Boo!' Pepper exclaimed and I just looked down. Great, another conversation in which I'm not involved. 

(Time skip to next morning)

We were on a plane which carried Steve Rogers and we had to get him to the the base.

'We're about 40 minutes from home base sir.' The pilot told us. Phil got up from his seat and came up to me and Steve. I was sitting beside him. helping him out with the parts he didn't understand in Dr. Banner's file. 

'So this Dr. Banner was trying to replicate the serum that they used on me?' Steve asked Coulson. 

'A lot of people were. You were the world's first superhero. He thought Gamma radiation was the secret to unlocking Erskine's original formula.' He said.

'Didn't really go his way, did it?' Steve said.

'Not so much.' I muttered.

'When he's not that. he's like a Steven Hawking.' Phil said, Steve looked at him with confusion in his voice. 

'He like, a really smart person.' I told him and he nodded. 

'I gotta say, it's an honour to meet you officially. I sort of met you. I mean, I watched you while you were sleeping.' He said and Steve looked down and nodded awkwardly. I raised my eyebrows and kept my laughter in. I knew he was obsessed with Captain America, I didn't know it was this bad. 

'I mean, I was present when you were unconscious from the ice.' He said quickly, trying to rephrase his sentence. Steve got up and looked out the window, leaning on a a railing. I patted Phil on the shoulder as I grabbed the tablet and closed it. 

'It's an honour to have you on board.' Phil said. 

'I hope I'm the man for the job.' Steve said 

'We had redesigned the uniform. I had some input. She designed it.' He said, pointing to me. 

'The uniform? Aren't the stars and stripes a bit... old fashioned?' He asked.

'Cap, with everything that's going on, we might need a little old fashioned.' I said, putting the tablet back in my bag and slinging it over my shoulder. I strapped a holster on my thigh and secured a gun in it. 

'We're here.' I said as the plane landed. I put my sunglasses on and went out as the hatch opened up. 

'Agent Romanoff, Captain Rogers.' Phil introduced him to her.

'Ma'am.' Steve said.

'Hi.' She replied. 

'Mia Williams.' I said, shaking hands with her.

'Natasha Romanoff, you can call me Nat.' She said and I nodded. I got a call and picked it up.

'Phil, they need you on the bridge. They're starting the face-trace.' I said, hanging up the phone. 

'See you there.' He said and walked away.

'It was quite a buzz around here, finding you in the ice. Thought Coulson was going to swoon. Did he ask you to sign his Captain America trading cards yet?' Nat asked. 

'Trading Cards?' Steve asked, amused.

'They're vintage. He's very proud.' I said as I looked over and found Dr. Banner looking kinda lost. 

'Dr. Banner.' I said, waving him over.

'Uh, yeah. They told me a girl about your age would be coming as well.' He said and I smiled.

'Great to be known as The Girl about my age.' I said and he chuckled.

'Captain.' He said, shaking hands with Steve.

'Word is you could find the cube.' Steve said. 

'Is that the only word about me?' He asked.

'The only one I care about.' Steve said and he cracked half a smile. They talked about some stuff and Nat caught their attention.

'Gentlemen, you might wanna step inside for a minute. It's gonna get a little hard to breath.' she said as everyone around us rushed. 

'I have to go. Make sure everything's stable. Meet you inside.' I said and walked away. I was the one who designed the helicarrier. I had to make sure that everything was okay.
