Captain America and Agent 13 (Jones Sparrow and EasilyAmused)

Sharon’s small hands worked Steve’s large shoulders. It was amazing to touch someone like him in such a fashion. She could feel his muscles relaxing under her hands as she began to work. His back was warm because of the heating pad and he seemed to relax, even as he spoke about the feelings that were apparent from both Natasha and Clint’s reaction. She nodded softly as she continued to work ever-so lovingly on his back and shoulders.

It was hard to believe that everything was happening. Between the destruction of headquarters, living in Stark’s Tower, Natasha wanting her and Steve to date even though they were already kind of something, and now they were neighbors once again except… Stark lived on the other side. That wasn’t exactly the most pleasant of ideas but she could live with it if Steve and she could keep having their secret.

When he looked back at her, she looked down at him with a small smile on her face. His comment not only made Sharon laugh but blush very hard as well. “Most people wouldn’t put me under the category. At least from what I hear that is mostly used to describe Natasha but I’m beyond flattered that you feel that way.” Leaning down she gave the side of his neck a gentle kiss. “But I will tell you,” She said in a whisper in his ear. “Any woman working in the building, any woman walking the street and any woman who has access to history or news would love to be in my shoes right now.” Her hands traveled up his shoulders and draped down across his chest, feeling his firm peck muscles under her small soft hangs. “The Bachelor and heart throb of S.H.I.E.L.D. isn’t start Steve…” She said softly her lips gently kissing his neck up to his ear once again. “It’s you.”

Robin Hood (EasilyAmused & Jones Sparrow)

Ironically, Marian felt okay with leaving Robert out there talking to her father. Her father had expressed liking Robert in the past; even when he was a snotty little bastard with his stupid jokes and sarcastic ‘humor’. ‘He’s an honorable young man.’ Her father would say, ‘With a good heart, it’s down there. Maybe hidden by unneeded comments and actions but really, I can tell he’s a good person.’ Maybe her father was right and she didn’t give Robert the credit he deserved but… with their conflict, finding the ‘brighter side’ wasn’t exactly easy.

But now was different and as Marian dozed off to sleep she was surprised to find herself thinking about the fact that she had a decent time with Robert. Maybe, just maybe, they could get along and be friends. If he wasn’t pulling a fast one on her tonight; it seemed possible… but why did she go out again?

Waking up to her alarm clock wasn’t the most pleasurable thing in the world. She wanted to stay curled up in her warm bed but alas, it was another day of work. Getting up and dressed in a pair of tan slacks and a white button up shirt, the blonde proceeded with her morning routine and hurried out the door. Today, she found herself eating her donut alone, a cup of coffee with matching donut sitting next to her one the steps of the building as she looked out for her homeless friend. He never showed up and she carried her friend’s semi-cold office and brown paper bagged donut into the building with her. He was old though… hopefully he was okay.

She let out a small sigh as she unlocked her office door and stepped inside. Unknown to her a massive fluid of woman piled into her office as soon as she got to her desk and questions began to fly. “Are you dating Robert?” “I thought you were dating Edward?” “Are you and Edward not together?” “Does that mean Edward is single?” “Are you and Robert an item?” “I thought you two hated each other.” “Did you forget how much of a jerk he was to you?” “Marian you can’t have both, you need to pick one!” Question after question flew at the blonde and she held her hands up in surprise as she backed away slowly from her desk as the crowd of nearly ten women hung over her desk and in her office demanding answers.

“Look!” She said loud enough to finally get the group of hyenas’ attention. “I am not dating either one of them. And I’d rather not go into my personal life here at work.”

“But you told Edward you were going out on a date with Robert and he didn’t believe you.” “You shouldn’t be playing with Edward’s emotions like that.” “Robert’s better then Edward.” “Edward’s better then Robert.” “Edward’s got that muscly build.” “But Robert’s tall and toned and handsome.” “Edward’s got a charming smile.” “Robert’s got a sharp wit.” “Marian, who’s the better kisser?” Apparently that question was enough to break the arguing between the female of who was the better man and they all looked at her, half glaring half wondering what her response would be.

Marian held up her hands higher. “Listen!” She shouted, “I haven’t kissed either one of them so asking that question out of all of them is completely unanswerable! Now leave my office and let me work in peace. I’m not dating either one of them so they’re still free on the market so go… go,” She waved her hands at them, “Go play fetch with the boys and try to win them over.” The girls looked at each other, their competitive nature seemed lost among them when they realized that the massive group couldn’t target their feelings towards just one person.

Nearly single file, the girls left her office, the last one leaving the door open behind them and Marian fell into her chair propping her elbow up on her arm rest and placing her right hand over her face. “Bunch of man hungry hyenas…” She muttered under her breath, “How did I get caught in the middle of that?!” With that she let out a long sigh and lowered her hand, looking at the donut and coffee sitting on her desk; her thoughts drifted back to her old beggar friend in hopes he was alright.

Him agreeing that keeping their relationship a secret just made her heart sing with joy. Secrets weren’t always a bad thing, and this was an example of one of those times. Simply because they didn’t have much of a choice; if they told others they could be in a lot of trouble within work and the possibility of real life causing one of them to get into danger. This secret was better kept a secret. Smiling softly to herself, she closed her eyes and enjoyed the massage, giggling softly at his response about being a bachelor as a profession of Stark’s… wasn’t that the truth!

His next question threw her off slightly; though, at the same time, she shouldn’t be too surprised. He was always such a caring and gentle soul that she should have expected it to be on his mind. “I don’t know anything.” She said softly sounding disappointed that she didn’t have more information. “The only thing I know is that both Clint and Natasha flinched at the name; either they know something or they’ve heard something. Either way… it’s, it’s not good…” A small sigh left her before she rose to her feet. “Your turn, sit down on the ground.” She said softly with an inviting smile as she gestured for him to sit; can you blame her for being excited? It was Captain America after all, Steve Rogers; also known as her neighbor and one of the best men she had ever met.

Gaurdians of the Galaxy; An Old Friend |Jones Sparrow & EasilyAmused|

Everything was going so nice, so peacefully and she could feel herself relaxing; nearly melting in Peter’s arms. A long soft sigh left her as her knees nearly buckled under her as he kissed her neck. Surely abound to make some mistakes she would regret in the morning, Nikki opened her mouth to speak… only to be interrupted by the sound of Rocket’s voice coming over the intercom. Of course, that guy’s whiskers must have been twitching because he had a good habit of interrupting well timed things. Her attention moved up to the ceiling as he spoke, and they listened to Rocket respond, only to have him cut off by the incoming transmission.

Rocket seemed almost offended but the sudden talk who he was and about having someone of high value aboard sprang Nikki from Peter’s arms and she rushed out of the room and to the dining area where Rocket was typing on the computer in an attempt to get through the Nova’s hacking. “Nova Prime.” Nikki said in an assertive tone. “I insist you halt your actions and vacate the area.”

There was a small pause on the other end of the line before a small chuckle happened, “Who are you to tell me what to do?”

“I am the highly valued person on board and you are not to touch this ship or board without a warrant and permission of its owner. If you break galactic law they’ll have your suit.”

“My assignment is to bring the person of high value by any means necessary, I am to escort you to attend the council of planets meeting as a representative.”

“I no longer have a planet. That’s pure insult to have me there.”

“But there are still people. Those who left the planet need to know that there is a beckon of hope from their home planet.”

Nikki’s head hung, her chocolate eyes scanning the floor as if it was going to give her some form of advice. Her attention moved upwards letting out a sigh of defeat. “I take it as you’ve given that speech before... I will return with you--- but I do not wish to board your ship if the Captain will give me a ride instead.” She turned her attention to Peter. As much as she didn’t want to leave, she seemed like she’d have to talk her way out of committing herself to the council. “Do you mind giving me a ride Captain Quill?” Her chocolate eyes begging him to say yes, but twinkling with an idea; it was a long shot idea and they’d have to play along but it’s an idea.

Spider-Man: Childhood Friends (Jones Sparrow and EasilyAmused)

Black Cat jumped off the roof and began to swing away. It had become one of their games, and a good excuse to test their speed along with their reaction time. Black Cat loved the feeling of flying through the air and doing spins and flips as she swung herself through the buildings. What she didn’t expect was for Spider-Man to catch up with her sooner than he normally did. She wasn’t expecting the grab from mid-air as they went tumbling across the rooftop. Between that shock and the black suit, she was almost certain she was caught by someone other than Spider-Man. But she found herself on top of him sooner than she had expected. “How did you…” She cut off by the sound of gunfire which pulled both of them to their feet and off into action.

She’d have to ask him about it later but that seemed quicker than before and she wasn’t going slower. Huh… she mentally shrugged to herself as they landed on the rooftop near the scene. Men were inside of a grocery store holding it up, the police had not arrived yet which means they probably had just gotten in. “That’s an intense way to grocery shop.” Black Cat said with a chuckle. “I’ll get the hostages, I look forward to hearing your grocery puns.” She said with a chuckle lifting up the mask and blowing him a kiss before walking backwards off of the building. “I love you and I’ll see you inside.” With that she fell backwards and went around the building to the back.

It didn’t talk long for Black Cat to get inside. The robbers had already cut the power so no alarm system went off. Sneaking silently through the back, she grabbed a piece of cloak from the janitor’s closet and began to mark the path which she wanted the hostages to take to escape. She traced it from the exit door she had propped open slightly to where she walked. Once into the store area, she was able to keep the door open and left the cloak hidden in the back of the store room. She then began to work her way silently through the store, collecting the hidden hostages and getting them out before she went of the group that the men had already found. All the while she was listening for three things; the location of the robbers, the sound of police cars and the witty remarks from her boyfriend she loved so much.

Robin Hood (EasilyAmused & Jones Sparrow)

Marian nodded as he went back to the bar to pay for the tab. Again, she found herself tilting her head and she had to shake her head and forcing herself to look around the bar/restaurant. Everyone was having a great time, laughing and talking and enjoying drinks. A smile moved across her full lips as she watched people talk before turning her attention back to Robert, the bartender had a look of shock on his face and it raised Marian’s eyebrows slightly. Did he tip the guy a shocking amount? Maybe because he let her eat in the bar area; huh…

She was pulled out of her thoughts as he spoke to her. A small laugh left her, “It’s between a decent walk and a taxi ride; but seeing that it isn’t raining and…” She looked down at her feet, then back up at him. “I’m wearing decent high heels for walking in…. yes believe it or not a woman did say that.” She said with a playful smile, “So this shouldn’t be an issue.” With that she gave a small chuckle and they started outside.

The walk was a lot nicer than she had expected. It was a warm night and her and Robert kept things light hearted and fun in their conversation. He seemed different then when he left. Then again, getting kicked off of his high horse seemed to have humbled him; it’s too bad more people didn’t get kicked off their high horse more often so she could enjoy a personality switch from more people. Arriving at her house she let out a long groan and placed her hand against her forehead.

“Where have you been?” Her father asked pulling himself off of his sheriff car and crossed his arms.

“I went out to have a drink. I am an adult dad.” She said with a bit of sharpness as her hand dropped to her side from her face and she turned her attention back to Robert and whispered, “I’m sorry,” as her father made his way to them.

“Oh, hello Robert; I wasn’t aware you were accompanying my daughter this evening.” Unlike the Taylors, and Marian, Frank Anderson actually liked Robert. He had proven himself to be a good lawyer and a very intelligent man, something he appreciated in this day and age. And something he wished that Edward would learn over time so he would be better for his only child. But alas, Edward’s progress is rather slow. “Welcome back. It’s good to see you.” Though the man always gave off a stern and cold attitude, he was always good about being honest. “I hear you’re working the Robin Hood case for Jason…”

“Dad…” Marian said in a cautious tone.

“Have you found anything out?”

“Dad.” Marian said in an attention getting tone. “Robert just got on the case today. And he’s been away from the city until just recently. Let him have some time to adjust before you start hounding him for information. Especially when he doesn’t have anything yet.” She rose an eyebrow at her father and pushed the small gate open to go up to her pathway.

“You have a point sweetie.” Frank said softly to his daughter and gave Robert a nod, the closest thing anyone really ever gets for an apology from the chief of police. “Well I’m glad you’re safe.”

“I’m always safe dad.” She said with a small-slightly-tipsy giggle. “I’m a good shot remember.” Their father-daughter joke always involved her aim at the gun range. She had a heck of a shot for not being a police officer; then again… that was per her father’s insistence that she not join the force. But that didn’t stop them from spending personal time at the shooting range. “Thank you for a nice night Robert. I’ll see you at work tomorrow.” She said with a smile. “Good night.” She then turned her attention to her dad, pointing a tipsy finger at him as if saying ‘Be nice’ only to receive a closed lipped smile from her father. “Good night dad.”

“Good night sweetie.” He said softly watching his daughter walk into her house and shut the door behind her. He loved his little girl, she was the only thing he had left in his life and he didn’t want anything to happen to her. Maybe he was overly protective but after this Robin Hood character encountered her, you can’t blame him for being overly protective. The streets aren’t exactly the safest place in the world…

Robin Hood (EasilyAmused & Jones Sparrow)

Marian was a good three fourths of the way through her food when he said that he was with the prettiest woman on this side of Manhattan. She felt her cheeks turn red in a blush; but was it because of the alochol or was it because of his kind words. Sure, this wasn't the first time he had said something like that in the night but, you can't blame him for having that reaction.

A smile moved across her full lips. She pushed her empty plate away and reached across the table placing her hand softly on top of his. "This has been a good night Robert and I'm glad I got to see this side of you. I think it would be good for us to put the past behind us and try and be friends."

With that she picked up her purse and stood up giving him another smile. "Seeing as I walked here. If I asked nicely would you walk me home or give me a ride?"

Robin Hood (EasilyAmused & Jones Sparrow)

"Limited supplies available." Marian responded with a chuckle pointing her form at him. She didn't realize she was being way he so closely by him but she felt comfortable enough to eat like the small piggy she could be when she was hungry and right now. She was hungry and in a desperate need to taste something other than the horrible drink he had created for her.

When he got out his question; for some reason he seemed to be stumbling over his words, but she looked up from her food and tilted her head watching him closely as he finally pushed out his question. She didn't even stir or twitch at his question. "It's been a good night so far. Not bad for a 'not date' between two coworkers who happened to want alochol to forget about their annoying coworker." Her eyebrows pushed together as she pondered something. "In fact I don't remember why I came down here but a drink sounds like a good reason." She put down her fork and took up her soda. "Are you having a good time?" She asked at him with a smile across her lips as she put her glass down on the coaster.

Everything about Steve was perfect. He knows how to treat a woman, he keeps everything truthful and straight forward which is something she really impressed about. He was really proving to be one in a million and that was one of the many things she treasured about him. "It would be nice if we didn't have sneak around about seeing each other but..." She gave her shoulders a small shrug with a small smile as she felt his lips on her head. "If that's what the takes for us to be able to have some privacy I'll live with it."

When he asked about what would happen if the people down stairs found out she gave a small laugh. "It's not uncommon for coworkers to... Mmmm." She closed her eyes being cut off of being able to finish her sentence thanks to his massage. The noises continued for a moment before she finished her sentence. "Date. Though I will say I know many office working women up might attack me other sissors any chance they could get for taking 'one of the most eligible batcholors in New York' off the market." She looked over her shoulder at him and gave him a grin.

He said it was fair enough and she nodded in agreement. A smile moved across her full lips when he said that they both needed a bit of a cheering up. A bright smile moved across her face as he got up and walked away from her. She knew he wouldn’t leave her there, they enjoyed each other too much for him to walk out; plus it was his room. The music soon began to fill the ship and she found herself bobbing to the music on his bed.

When he offered her his hand, she looked down at him. Her cheeks flushed pink when he called her princess. Rising up she placed her hand in his. “I will accept a dance from a Star-Lord. What an honor.” She said playfully to him as she climbed off the bed and to her feet.
