After the debriefing was finished, Fury thanked us for our work and dismissed us. 

"That was beyond embarrassing," I said as I put my head in my hands, I could hear Sam laugh and Steve walked over to me, he placed a comforting hand on my arm but couldn't stop the laugh that left his mouth as well.

My head shot up and I gave them both cold looks, "it's ok you looked hot" Sam said and I threw a water bottle at his head.

Steve cleared his throat giving a warning look to Sam and he put his hands up in surrender.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at their immaturity. "Thanks for the support, guys," I said sarcastically.

I gathered my things and stood up, ready to leave, when Fury walked back in and called me over.

"Agent 19, could I have a word with you in private?" he asked, his tone serious.

I exchanged a worried glance with Steve and Sam before following Fury into his office. He closed the door behind us and gestured for me to take a seat.

"Is everything alright, sir?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.

Fury sat down behind his desk and leaned forward, his gaze fixed on me. "I wanted to talk and make you an offer," he said, his voice low.

I nodded waiting for him to continue speaking "I believe you deserve a promotion after the intense work you put into these missions"

I felt a mix of surprise and excitement wash over me. A promotion? "Thank you, sir, but what job is better than the one I have right now, the next step after this would be basically running the place" I gasped, "are you retiring please don't say you're retiring" I quickly said, there was no way I was ready for that.

Fury leaned back in his chair, studying me for a moment before continuing. "Stop panicking," he said shaking his head "I think you're ready for something more fun, I'd like to offer you a chance as a lead agent, with a team of your own to lead for anything you might need them for"

I could hardly believe it. A lead agent? With my own team? It was a dream come true. "Yes, sir, I accept," I said, trying to keep my voice from shaking with excitement. This meant I could hand-pick agents and form a group to my own liking, I would never have to deal with having to form a new team every time a mission emerged 

Fury nodded. "Good, we'll start working on assembling your team congratulations, Agent 19."

I stood up, still feeling a bit stunned "Thank you, sir I won't disappoint you."

"Now keep in mind when you aren't working on your team I still need you here," he said and I couldn't help the smirk that formed on my lips "Of course sir I don't plan on leaving your side" 

I meant what I said I didn't plan on leaving not after everything he had done for me over the years, I couldn't dream about leaving him.

As I left Fury's office and headed towards the elevator, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. I had worked hard and it had paid off and now, I was on the path to even greater success.

Sam and Steve were still in the conference room patiently waiting for me to return. 

"I'm getting my own team" I quickly said and Steve hugged me "That's great" he said Sam grinned "That's amazing news" he exclaimed.

I couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed by their excitement. "Thanks, guys," I said with a smile.

Steve pulled away from the hug and looked at me seriously. "You'll be great at leading your own team," he said with conviction. I felt a surge of confidence hearing his words. "Thanks, Steve," I said, feeling grateful for his support.

Sam playfully punched my arm "Don't forget about us when you're leading the charge against Hydra," he joked.

I rolled my eyes but couldn't help the laughter that escaped my lips "I won't forget about you guys," I promised.

Sam left the room and it was just me and Steve left "I'm so happy for you" he said, I pulled him into my arms getting on my tip toes to kiss him.

"This means we won't have to hide our relationship" I said and he nodded "You won't be my subordinate anymore" he said  "That's right Captain" I grinned "It is isn't it Agent 19" he smiled. 

I pulled him in for a kiss holding his face as he wrapped his arms around my waist hoisting me up on him. 

"Now let's go celebrate," he whispered in a low voice placing me down and grabbing my hand "I like the sound of that," I replied raising my eyebrows liking where this was headed.
