Steve Rogers was obviously not in his uniform. He was wearing jeans, a white shirt and a brown leather jacket with a cap pulled down so that people wouldn't know his identity.
We made eye contact and he walked over to my booth.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" he asked me.
"I do, actually," I sassily replied.
He sighed and sat down anyway, earning a glare from me.
"My name is-"
"I know who you are," I snapped, cutting him off. "Get to the point."
Steve sighed and shook his head.
"We need those files back," he said.
"What files?" I asked innocently.
His eyes narrowed, but I wasn't going to tell him anything.
"Please, Y/n, can you just cooperate?"
"You know, hydra said that to me a few times," I said, leaning back in the booth, ignoring the burning in my side.
Steve's eyes darkened.
"We're not hydra," he said.
"If I give you the files, will you leave me alone?" I asked, crossing my arms.
Steve closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"You know we can't do that."
I rolled my eyes.
"But can't you? Just forget I ever existed. I won't kill anyone. Pinkie promise," I said holding out my pinkie finger.
Steve just glared at me.
"Listen, I don't know what you want from me. Whether you want to throw me in the Raft or make me an Avenger. Either way, I don't want that. I just want to live the life I was supposed to," I said, sounding a bit desperate.
"We can compromise," he said. "Come back to the tower-"
"I never want to step foot in that tower again," I interrupted him again. "And I would rather compromise here. Just you and me." I smiled.
Steve sighed once again.
"Fine. You can live a normal life, away from the Avengers and the raft, but you keep the limiter on," he said, gesturing to the metal band on my wrist.
"You know, I would agree to that, but I kind of need my powers," I said.
"And why would you need your powers if you were living a normal life?" he asked smirking.
Now he was playing my game.
"Well," I began, propping my hand up on a fist, "seeing as one of you shot me on my way here, and this limiter also limits my healing abilities, I would need my powers so that I don't bleed out and die."
I smiled at the end of my little speech as his eyes went wide.
"We thought you dodged that," he said.
"You thought wrong," I replied.
"We need to get you to a doctor," he said, rising from his seat.
"Sit down," I hissed.
He did as he was told, but he still looked wary.
"If you take off the limiter for a minute, I'll be able to remove the bullet and heal myself, then you can put it back on."
He looked from me to the limiter a number of times before saying, "how do I know you won't escape?"
I rolled my eyes.
"You'll have to trust me, Captain."
He looked into my eyes for a few more seconds before grabbing my wrist with the limiter.
"Look away," he commanded.
I rolled my eyes and looked away as he put in the code. I felt and heard a click and the band fell from my wrist. I could finally feel all of the metal in the diner, and I could feel my wound trying to heal.
I unzipped my jacket and pulled the bullet out of my body with my power. I gritted my teeth as it came out, and quickly healed myself.
"Are you sure you don't need a doctor?" Steve asked, still worried.
"As sweet as you're being, don't worry. I heal fast." I lifted up my shirt and showed him the undamaged skin beneath.
"See? Good as new."
He nodded and gestured for my arm. I put my arm back on the table, searching his body for anything metal. I felt a gun in the waistband of his jeans.
As he clipped the band over my wrist, I said, "Since when do you carry guns around, Captain? I thought you were more defence than offence."
He stiffened.
"I'll be leaving now."
I saluted him again as he stood up.
"I hope to never see you again, Captain," I said smirking.
He looked back at me for a moment before he smiled softly.
"I can't say the same."
