I wanted to scream and wipe that smug smile off her face, I left shield HQ in anger after the horrid meeting with fury. It was supposed to be a general progress meeting on how well I was settling into being an avenger but when I saw Sharon carter in there I knew this wasn't going to go my way.

"ah (Y/N) take a seat" nick said as I entered the room, stood next to him at his desk was agent 13 looking as professional as possible. Doing as I was told I sat down facing nick, he opens up a file and begins reading it. "so (Y/N), how would you say your training with the avengers has been going? He asks finally putting down the file, "uh pretty good, I would say I have advanced fairly quickly and have picked up some new skills along the way. I do think I have a little way to go before I'm fully ready for the bigger missions" I tell him. He raises a brow "yes you do have a way to go, a long way to go by reading this report by agent 13" he say pushing the file forwards, I open up the file and begin reading: slow progress, frequent arguments with other team members, poor skills on even minor mission. The more I read the more confused I got, I had defiantly made more progress than this, the team said so themselves. And he arguments they were nothing just small comments that we all fired at each other, they meant nothing and were soon laughed off. "I need to see better progress by the end of the month, I have increased your training schedule with comes into effect immediately" nick informs me as he hands me a new schedule. Reading over it I saw barely any free time, always working with a member of the team, "but this has barely..." I begin looking up at nick "no alteration, better progress is needed, no improvement then your off the team" nick says flatly. I drop my shoulder in disbelief "but" I begin again, "don't make me remove you now, I'll be having reports from the team as well" nick interrupts. I sigh and nod my head "of course sir" I glance up at Sharon and see her smug face, I knew she had something against me and that just proved it.

When I get back to the tower I make my way up to the kitchen to grab an apple before starting my extra training. When I get into the kitchen tony and nat are in there talking, when tony sees me he goes to open his mouth to say some witty and annoying comment but I stop him "shut up tony" I state flatly as I brush past him to get to the fruit bowl. "I didn't even say anything" he reasons, "you didn't need to" I fire back grabbing a bottle of water and leaving the kitchen. Tony turns to nat and mouths "what s up with her?", nat just shrugs her shoulders not following knowing that I needed space.

Before going into the gym I got changed into some gym clothes, slamming my doors as I went. I grabbed my gym bag and made my way to the gym angrily passing team members as I went. When I entered the gym I found it empty, perfect I didn't need anyone in here with me. I wrapped up my fists before making my way to the punching bags, not giving a thought to my stance and how to actually throw a punch properly I continually swing at the bag. The sound of the impact was satisfying as all the angry thoughts left my mind as my fist made impact. I was so involved in what I was doing I didn't notice someone entering the gym watching me. I gave one last large punch and it rips open the bag, I sigh as I watch the contents spill up onto the floor. "that's my thing" a voice says behind me, I turn around to see Steve leaning against the wall. "sorry, just a lot of pent up anger" I admit with a sigh, "well punching the guts out of a bag does help, although if you don't mind me saying your stance was all wrong, you would get more anger out if you stand properly" he smiles. I sigh slightly "thanks, i guess" I begin to unstrap my fist but Steve stops me "here I'll help" I says, all I could do was nod. There was nothing I could say, the proximity to me made my mind go blank. there was no denying it I had developed a crush on the captain with only grew when I joined the avengers, but I had heard all the rumours about him and Sharon so it was a long shot. I watch as he brought up a new punching bag and removed the old one, he looked over at me and smiled "you coming?" he ask making me break out of my trance and go over to the bag. "okay so you need to stand like this okay?" he instructs demonstrating the position, "like this?" I ask trying to copy his stance. He gently shakes his head and uses his hands to change my stance, I hold my breath as he does so hoping my cheeks weren't going red as the contact. "now take your fist back like this" he says pulling my fist back "and release" he continues letting me throw my punch. The sound I hear was much better and more satisfying than before, "very good now do that again" Steve says moving back slightly and I feel his warmth go with him. I punch the bag again and again smiling more as I punch "that's much better (Y/N), you know another good cure for a bad day is talking about it to someone who would listen" Steve says stepping closer behind me. I stop and turn to face him "oh yeah, and who would that be" I state, "how about me?" he offers. I shake my head "trust me Steve, you're the last person who would want to hear this" I tells him unwrapping my fists and chucking the tape into my bag. "why? Was it something I did?" he ask stepping forward slightly, I shake my head "no you didn't do anything Steve, I just can't talk about it with you" I say shouldering my bag and leave the gym Steve watching me go.

After a shower to cool off I sat in my room staring into space thinking about the whole situation, was I really that bad? Was all the things in the report true? Maybe I should just quit while I'm ahead, I doubt the team would miss me. My train of thought got interrupted by a knock on my door "can I come in?" I hear nat say behind the door, "yeah" I sigh in reply. The door opens and the redhead appears sitting down on the bed beside me "okay, I'm going to go straight to the point. What's wrong? And why did you snap at tony, basically knocked Clint over as you barged pass, and drained a punching bag of its contents?" nat ask. I chuckle slightly at her bluntness "work worries" I admit, she raises a brow "what do you mean" she asks. "I haven't been making the progress into the team that I should be" I explain "that's what the whole meeting was about", nat nods her head "who says you haven't been progressing well?" she asks shuffling slightly on the bed. "nick after reading the reports from" I start before hearing a knock on my door again "who is it?" nat calls for me, we then see a blond head poke its head through the door "nat, I need to talk to (Y/N)" Steve says, "okay" nat says not moving. Steve steps in more "alone" he continues making nat sigh, she looks over at me and I nod my head. She gets up and passes Steve to leave not before whispering something in his ear, once she's gone Steve shuts the door and turns back to me. "may i?" he asks gesturing to the bed, "uh yeah sure, what do you want?" I ask shuffling slightly in my spot. He sits down next to me "(Y/N), I really want to know if you're okay, and whatever is going on you can tell me okay?" he says looking at his hand which were in his lap. I shake my head slightly "Steve, I wish I could but I can't okay?" I sigh, Steve looks up at me "could you tell nat?" he asks and I nod my head "what about tony?" he continues, "maybe, I guess" I admit. "then why can't you tell me?" he presses getting slightly worked up "because it's about Sharon" I snap, he looks at me confused "why can't you talk to me about Sharon?" he asks. "because of the two of you, you're you know dating" I explain and he laughs slightly "(Y/N), me and Sharon aren't dating" he tells me, this time my face is full of confusion. "but I heard all the rumours, sam and bucky even told me about the kiss" I say, "yes and they're just rumours like you said" Steve explains. I nod my head slightly "so you two didn't kiss" I ask slowly, "no we did, that bit is true" he admits, "but you're not together" I continues, "no we kinda were for a bit but I realised I was just trying to replace peggy with her, kinda like when your apple charger breaks so you buy a knock of one that is pretty much the same but it doesn't work" he explains. I look at him blankly "did you just use apple to explain something?" I ask, and he nods shyly "I guess" he chuckles "but what has Sharon got to do with your bad day?" he asks. So I explain everything, what Sharon wrote in the report, how it seems she has something out for me, the increased workload. He nods and listens to every word before speaking "well what's in that report is a bunch of lies, you have made amazing progress I would be happy to let you on the bigger mission" Steve tells me making me smile "really?" I ask him, he nods his head "yeah the whole team thinks you're amazing and such a great addition to the team, I don't know how we got by without you" Steve smiles. I look down to hide the heat forming on my cheeks "why are my reports so bad then?" I wonder out loud, "well me and Sharon didn't really end on good terms, she wanted us to stay together when I didn't guess that could be it" Steve says. I look over at him looking into his bright blue eyes, "why would that impact my report?" I ask, Steve takes a deep breath in before answering "because, I like you, I have when I first saw you at shield and when I found out you were becoming a member of the team I was so happy because it gave me a great excuse to get to know you and when I did I realised how much I do like you so much so that I think I love you and" he rambles before I cut him off by pressing my lips onto his. When we pull away he rests his forehead against mine "I think I love you too" I sigh, both our breaths mingling in the small gap between us. Steve smiles before kissing me, this time for much longer as our lips work as one. When we pull away for air Steve takes my hands in his own "I promise, I will talk to nick and sort all of this out , I'll get the entire team in your corner" he says looking his blue eyes onto my (E/C) ones. "thanks Steve" I smiles rubbing my thumb over his hand "and would you like to be my best girl?" he asks hopefully, I kiss his quickly and softly "I'd love to".
