Steve listened intently to Astrid's words, as he did with anyone he spoke with. It was just the polite thing to do after all. But it took him several moments to fully comprehend what she had just dropped on him. He even stared at Astrid's cute little smile without giving it another thought before it all dawned to him. "Wait," he began as scrambled out of the couch, "you mean to tell me that you're Nick Fury's daughter?!" With the truth now out in the open instead of just being vague hints, Steve began to study the woman's face for any semblance to his boss. He could connect a few personality traits the two had in common, like their terribly secretive natures. However, he could not find any physical similarities between Astrid and Nick Fury that it was hard to take her seriously. But from what he had learned about this eccentric bluenette so far was that she never lied but simply hide the truth extremely well. He would have never found out unless she told him, which she did.

Before he could utter a follow-up question, a robotic voice resounded through the PA of the jet, announcing the estimated time of arrival to their destination was less than 20 minutes. Inwardly cursing the bad timing, Steve turned his attention back to Astrid. He wasn’t sure if he was angry about the additional secrecy or just plain baffled by this new information but he knew he wanted more details specifically about why she decided to tell him. “We’ll talk about this later. We need get ready.” He finally stated before rushing up the stairs. Awaiting them outside the jet’s windows was a research facility a good few clicks away and getting closer with each second. Steve went over to his equipment he discarded earlier in the flight and locked his shield behind his back, all the while pushing thoughts of the previous conversation out of his mind. It would only distract him.

The idea that a secret organization with roots with the Nazi party tried to take over the world and put sleeper agents in every branch of the United States government and all its affiliates seemed like a load of conspiracy bullshit to Amelia. Yet, Stark made no move to laugh it off as a jerk. He actually looked completely serious. She wanted to think the man had finally lost his marbles due to all this stress about aliens and gods but a part of her nagged that maybe this was true. It definitely explained all that crazy shit that happened a few months ago regarding Captain Amer-

Wait a second. Wasn’t Captain America’s civilian name Steve Rogers? Was that who Astrid was seeing earlier this afternoon? What the hell?! What did she do for a living?!

Stark reiterating his offer to give her a job bought Amelia back to the issue at hand. She’d deal with the mysterious Astrid later. If she ever saw her again. Amelia probably could if she agreed to the job. It was either that or being sent off to jail where she’d probably be killed by these snake guys. She looked over Tony Stark one more time, twitching in annoyance when she saw him smirk. Maybe going to jail wouldn’t be so bad…

No, it would be bad. Incredibly bad. She’d just have to swallow her pride and deal with this prick. No matter how much Stark reminded Amelia of him.

“Well I can definitely say this is the weirdest job interview I’ve ever had. Or do you tie up all your potential employees?” She asked, readjusting her arms to alleviate the strain on her shoulders. “But yeah, sure. I’ll work for you. Now will you let me go?”
