[Fill] Karen Page, Superfriend
(Anonymous) 2015-06-07 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)=====
It started, as this whole superheroes thing did in the first place, with Steve Rogers.
Karen had never been one to follow war propaganda or military history very much, and to her, sitting in her middle school classroom as they studied World War II when she wanted to be finishing her math homework and go out with her first boyfriend ever, that's what Captain America was. She knew he'd been a regular person at some point and had become superhuman, but the stint was short-lived and he'd vanished into the ice.
When she met Steve, she'd just gotten out of a long day of work and swung by a Starbucks for a pick-me-up before returning home to do more work. She had eyes and a pulse, so of course she noticed the tall, broadly shouldered, slim-waisted man with neatly combed golden hair standing in line before her, but it was a passing interest: an observation, a spark of Oh la la!, and then back to running over the results of a report in her head that'd bothered her earlier that day.
It took her a while to realize the noise behind her was the grumbling of impatient caffeine addicts, and the grumbling was caused by the confusion of the person in front of her. The barista was not helping: a young kid himself, he was staring at the tall blond with a starstruck look and a dust of rose over his face. He was also tripping over his tongue as he tried to explain the coffee menu.
"I just," Tall, Blond & Handsome huffed, "I just want a coffee. Any size."
"W-which roast? We have, uh, we have Mike's Place - Pike Place! Pike roast. Sorry, I'm Mike. Mike's place would be my place. I guess. Uh, I mean, not that-- not that that's on the menu, but--"
Karen did her best to stifle her snort of laughter, but it was very much in vain. TB&H glanced back at her, and the lost look on his face made her laugh again. "Sorry, just - never been to a Starbucks before, huh?"
"I haven't been to any coffeeshop in a very, very long time," the man admitted.
"Starbucks is probably not the place for a beginner, then," Karen teased him. "If you like it strong, you probably either want the dark roast or an americano. If you just want some light caffeination, Pike is the medium roast here, so it's probably the safest bet."
The man immediately looked uncomfortable. "A what? I-- is that a joke?"
"I never joke about coffee," Karen promised. "An americano is just an espresso with hot water. The taste is stronger than regular brewed coffee. Dark roast might taste a little burnt, but that's a Starbucks thing more than the brew. A latte's an espresso with steamed milk. You can always order a regular black coffee and add half-and-half over there," she added, pointing toward the kiosk that housed half-and-half, soy milk, and small shakers of cinnamon, nutmeg and chocolate.
"I'll try an americano, then. Uh - medium size," TB&H decided. "And I'll pick up the tab for this young woman's order, please."
"What? no, you don't--" Karen began to protest, but TB&H shook his head firmly.
"Please. I absolutely insist," TB&H urged. "I'd still be staring at the menu or running out the door if it weren't for you."
Being a city girl, Karen was immediately suspicious of his motives, but relaxed after a moment. There was something about him that was just so... so sincere, it was disarming. "All right. A tall creme brulee latte, please and thank you," she ordered, addressing the last to Mike the Barista.
As Mike punched in the order and began making making the coffees, TB&H turned to face Karen more fully and held out a hand, smiling. "Thank you so much for your help, miss."
"You're very welcome," Karen replied, taking his hand and shaking it. "And please, no 'Miss' - I get enough of that at work," she laughed. "Karen, please."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Karen," TB&H responded, letting go of her hand. "My name is Steve."
--
Six months later, she gaped at the television after the alien invasion was over. It was replaying battle scenes of the various costumed superheroes, which was absolutely horrifying, but it was one scene particular of an unmasked blond breathing heavily and covered in dirt and debris that had her staring in shock.
She snatched up the phone and waited impatiently as it rang. When it picked up, she barely waited for Steve to mumble "Hello?" before blurting out, "You jerk! You scared me half to death! Are you okay? Where are you?"
There was a moment of silence before Steve responded. "Uh. I'm-- I'm fine, yeah. Sorry for scaring you. Where are you? You weren't downtown, were you? God, I should have called--"
"No, no, I'm fine, stop," Karen pleaded, halfway to hysterical. "I was at a meeting in Greenwich when the news broke. Dammit, Steve!"
"Is that Karen Page?" Karen heard a strangely familiar voice ask from the other end of the line.
"Yeah. You-- wait, was SHIELD tapping my phone?" Steve asked, sounding suddenly alert and suspicious.
Karen could practically hear Clint's eye roll. "Jesus, no. We used to be neighbours, when I lived in Hell's Kitchen for a while."
"Karen? The cute blond with the clover tattoo?" a more feminine voice piped up.
"You-- Are y-you," Karen stammered, "is that-- are Clint and Tash with you?"
"Tash?" Steve echoed, confused.
"Yeah, she calls me Tash," Natasha could be heard explaining as another voice, more quiet and thoughtful, wondered aloud why that name was familiar.
Karen knew that voice.
"Is that Dr. Banner?" she asked.
There was a shushing sound that Karen strongly suspected was Steve, as he asked right after the other voices died down, "How do you know Bruce?"
"He used to—"
"Dr. Page's daughter!" Bruce realized in a tone of wonder. "Little Kare-Bear!"
"Oh my god," Karen blurted out, "he's not allowed to call me that anymore!"
"Okay, I'm getting really creeped out here," Tony Stark's very distinctive and very loud voice cut in. "By Dr. Page, do you mean Pax, the physicist who was studying radiation?"
"Uh. Yes?" Bruce replied.
"I know not this Karen Page you speak of," a completely unfamiliar voice boomed like a clap of thunder; Karen thought she felt the hairs on her neck rise from a sensation of static electricity. "But a most noble maiden she must be, to have the esteem of noble warriors such as yourselves! I should quite like to meet her."
"Oh my god," Karen mumbled.
There was a sudden cacophany of too many voices trying to out-talk each other, and Karen couldn't make out more than the useless stray word here and there until Steve shushed everyone again. "Karen, we've got some cleanup to do tomorrow during the day, but do you want to have dinner with us tomorrow? Tony says he'll send out a car to pick you up from wherever."
"Oh my god," Karen repeated.
Steve gave a soft huff of laughter. "I'll take that as an overwhelmed yes, especially as Tony is already nosily figuring out your address and arranging a chauffeur. We'll see you tomorrow, yeah?"
"Yeah," Karen echoed. "I mean, yes, okay, sure. All right. I can do that. I just... oh my god."
"Yeah," Steve echoed back, "that's about how we feel, too."
