Becca chuckled at his disappointment and when he said that he might not live that long. “How about this, if it’s the last moment and you’re going to die, whatever stage it’s at, the serum, I’ll just give it to you.” She shook her head and sighed. “I’m not gonna just let you die like that anyway Steven.” She wiggled her fingers in front of him in a silly gesture. She had no intention of not keeping her word in the matters of who he was to become. They’d spent too long working towards this goal and she wouldn’t have it ruined by a bad serum or his untimely death.
She shook her head, “of course not. You will get the serum, in due time when it is right and I don’t have to worry about something happening to you but… I need an escort for dinner and I have to say, the new haircut you have, I fancy quite a bit.” She smiled. “Besides, I like being around you and I’m not about to take someone with me that will just be a bore. That is, unless you’d prefer to sit here and push papers for the rest of the night.”
Reaching out her hand, she moved his paperwork away from him and sat on his desk in the spot they’d been in. “I know I’m not the best company at time and I know your boss can be quite a slave driver but I’m sure she will let this one slide so that you can be my date tonight.”
Steven nodded. He actually didn’t care when they gave him the serum. They could test it on him tomorrow for all he cared. The pay boost they gave him for agreeing to become a guinea pig was a nice bonus too. Of course, ideally, a serum that he knew was safe and was to do what it was supposed to do would be the best case scenario.
He was just about to excuse himself after she kissed his forehead but she asked him to escort her to dinner and that she liked his hair cut. A cocky grin spread across his face as he looked back at her. “Your date tonight?” A date was even better than being escort. There was probably a list of hot, built agents that would be better suited to take Becca on a dinner date but she chose him and he didn’t mind at all. “Well, it just so happens that I’m free tonight,” he replied. “I like a bossy lady. I don’t mind one bit. I’ll try to be on my best behavior but I can’t make any promises.” He joked and leaned back in his seat. “So where am I escorting you to?”
Kara smiled at his question. “I mean, it’s got all these things and then others. I have a small lab to work on certain things in there are as well. Plus there’s my display for my uniform.”
She walked over to a bare wall and motioned for Steve come come with her. Once he was standing next to her she motioned for him to reach up and place his hand on a panel on the wall. Once he did, the wall opened up into another room. In the room, one the wall was his uniform and his shield. It was all nicely displayed and she smiled. “I figured you’d rather it was in your room than in with the other uniforms. Not that anyone is gonna try to steal captain america’s shield, it’s just, I mean, I figured something happened you’d rather change in here.”
As the exited the room, the lights dimmed and the door slid shut. “Come on, I’ll show you around the rest of the carrier. Then you’ll know where to get food, where cargo is stored just pretty much everything you need to know. Then I guess we should probably go see what my dad’s gotten up to. There’s no telling with Dr. Banner here how much trouble the two of them can get in.”
Steve was excited to see what the rest of the helicarrier looked like. So far it had been proving to be more marvelous than anything he could even dream up. “Great,” he said with a smile as Kara began to lead him around, pointing to different areas as they walked down the hallway. He was told just to ask the computer if he needed to know anything and that was comforting to hear because there was no way he’d be able to remember everything Kara was telling him.
“Your father and Dr. Banner seem to be buddy-buddy with each other.” Steve said with a chuckle. He didn’t know Tony to well but well enough where he didn’t always play nice with others. Banner, however, seemed to be an actual friend. Steve sure as hell knew that Tony didn’t think of him as the same way. “After we see what there up to maybe we have time to grab a quick bite in the canteen?” He was hungry could wait if there were more pressing matters to attend to.
A woman agent walked passed them and smiled at Steve and he nodded back. It was weird being treated like a superstar again. He’d never get used to it.
