Fury had approached her that day. Steph had decided to put in a little gym time just to stay loose when the one eyed man approached her. The cube that had been HYDRA's secret weapon, that made them practically indestructible. Someone found it, someone stole it. Fury wanted her help to find it. She had suggested Howard since he worked more with the cube than she did. The man shook his head and insisted that it wasn't a solo project. She had pressed her mouth in a thin line and picked up a weightbag as easily as picking up a plate and walked off, telling him she'd think about it.

But now, though. She shook her head and rolled down her sleeves, making her way up to where the kitchen was to pop some popcorn. For now, she'll watch movies with Howard. When the sun really set over the horizon, she'll bring it up with him.
