The Taming of The Badger
The Badger and The Hulk
After chatting with Steve for quite some time, Phil came over asking to speak with him. Katelyn and Brogan looked at each other and giggled, knowing exactly what Phil wanted to ask him.
“Oh Steve, can you pleeeaasseeee sign my vintage Captain America trading cards? It would mean the world to me.” Katelyn said in a mocking tone.
“Oh Steve, you’re a mint, a little rough around the edges but you’ll always be perfect condition to me.” Brogan added on.
“Oh Steve, love me.” Katelyn said then paused.
Brogan looked at her and burst out laughing, “Oh my god, he’s probably actually thinking that too.”
Just then, the computer in front of one of the agents sounded an alarm.
“We have a hit, 67% match. No wait, cross match, 79%. He’s in Stuttgart, Germany. He’s not exactly hiding.” The agent informed.
“Captain. Agent Nixx. Agent Romanoff. You’re up.” Fury said.
“Sir, if I may. Let Agent Finnigan join us. She needs to be out in the field….” Katelyn trailed off. Brogan sat up straight, hoping for a yes.
“Absolutely not, she’s not ready. Agent Finnigan, why don’t you go spend some time with Banner.” Fury said, looking at Brogan. She stood up, nodded slowly and left the room to go check on Banner.
Walking through the hallway to the lab, she was talking to herself.
‘Damnit, why can’t I go. This is so stupid. I’m qualified to do this. I-‘ she stopped talking as she entered the room.
“Uhm, Hi.” Brogan said awkwardly.
“Hello, miss… uhm …?” He trailed off
“Finnigan, Brogan Finnigan. Just call me Brogan.” She said smiling slightly.
“Nice to meet you, I’m-“ He was cut off by her.
“I know who you are, Bruce Banner.” She said.
“So, you know about me then.” He said looking back to his work.
“I read up on your profile, yes, but I don’t care about any of the other stuff. You’re a genius.” She smiled, getting more comfortable.
Brogan hopped up on the table, watching him talk to himself and adjust the settings on his work-screen.
“So, we found Loki.” She stated.
“Oh? Where was he at?” he inquired not looking up from his results.
“Somewhere in Germany. Not really sure why.” She shrugged.
“Who did they send?” he looked at her.
“Steve, Katelyn, and Natasha.” She said trying to hide her jealousy.
“Oh, I see.” He mumbled.
“It’s just I should’ve been able to go to. Fury doesn’t think I’m ready though.” She vented.
“Well, if you think you’re ready. You are. Fury doesn’t know shit.” He said, making Brogan smile wide.
“EXACTLY!!!!” She squealed. “You know. You not too bad Banner, not bad at all.” She smiled, hopping off the table. She walked over and hugged him. He awkwardly hugged her back, blushing.
“Thank you.” She whispered.
“Anytime, Brogan.” He said pulling away and going back to his work.
“Hey you want any coffee or anything?” she asked about to step out of the room.
“Caffeine isn’t good for the uh, other guy. Just some water would be nice.” He said with a frown creeping onto his face.
“Oh Steve, can you pleeeaasseeee sign my vintage Captain America trading cards? It would mean the world to me.” Katelyn said in a mocking tone.
