a watching eye | diana & steve
A few days later and still Diana had yet to get everything into place. Getting things just right in a new apartment was hardwork. A few weeks ago S.H.I.E.L.D and a man named Director Fury approached her after her powers had been spotted by an agent one day. He offered her protection, money, a place to live, and even answers to who she was. While leaving her hometown was difficult something told the woman that it was the right choice. People no doubt would be after someone like her so perhaps being under a watchful eye was something she needed. What she didn't expecting was being the watchful eye over someone else.
Fury had placed her in an apartment building not far from Headquarters, just in case anything happened, but also not far from the job he'd assigned her. 'Watch over him and make sure he's safe. At all costs.' is what the one-eyed man said upon informing Diana just who she would be watching. Captain America. She knew very little about him, just what she read in the papers, but found herself almost nervous. Captain America was a real hero of the country and the people. How was she supposed to protect someone who was already so strong?
Yet here she was in an apartment just next door to his, trying to live a normal life to cover up her fake one. After giving up on arranging her place, Diana settled on checking the mail downstairs- part of her hoping to see Steve just to be sure he was safe. Cautiously she stepped out of her apartment and down the stairs to the lobby where the mailboxes were. Not even glancing around her she moved to the boxes and tried to open hers- which was far too tall for her.
