Steve was still not comfortable with this time; absolutely everything was so different. He still needed a lot of time to get to grips with his surroundings, and sometimes he needed to be distracted too to avoid feeling overwhelmed. He looked out the window; it was a sunny spring afternoon, and he decided it was a good time to walk the streets of New York. As she crossed a corner, her gaze met yours as you were trying to hold a stack of books while she tried to put a piece of paper in her pocket. Steve rushed to help her, holding up some of the books so you could put her paper away.

"Thank you! "you said with a small smile.

"Gladly," Steve replied, also smiling. "Do you need help with those books? You look like you've got a whole library with you."

"Well, almost. I'm trying to do some research for a project I'm working on," you replied.

"What are you working on?" Steve asked, sounding interested, but deep down he hoped it was something he knew perfectly well.

"You couldn't say much about your work; it wasn't safe to go around bragging that you were a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and had just returned from a mission," he said.

Steve arched an eyebrow, intrigued, but one of the things he had learned was that he could find out what he wanted to find out another way.

The two of you started talking about unimportant things; you even exchanged phone numbers, and he walked you to your car to put the books away.

A couple of days later, Steve was strolling through the offices of S.H.I.E.L.D. As he was walking down the corridors, he stopped dead in his tracks as soon as he saw you, frowning in confusion. Why were you there? You were talking to Natasha, animatedly discussing a report they were preparing. Steve waited until Natasha had left before approaching you.

"Hi again!" You greeted him as soon as you saw him, and suddenly it all seemed to make sense.

"Hello," Steve replied. "I didn't expect to see you here."

"I don't suppose your real name is Steve Roppers, is it?"

Steve shook his head, smiling sheepishly. He had never expected them to work in the same place.
