Warning: Alcohol consumption, cursing, ex bf (i dont know why i out that there), creepy guys.
Summary: Maria helps you from your ex a different way than you'd expect.
Tony being the genius billionaire playboy philanthropist that he is was throwing another one of his parties. And of course everyone was there.
Maria's first thing that she caught her eye with you. Also maybe because she was heading straight for the bar and you happened to be the bartender.
"Oohh looks like you already got your attention on someone that's a first." Natasha smirked while Maria just rolled her eyes.
Clint and Natasha bet on if Hill was gonna ask you out or not the winner gets $100. There was something that made her so intrigued by you.
Was it the way your white blouse had a few buttons undon? Was it how your hair was in a simple ponytail with a few loose strands of your hair? Was it the way you moved around the bar and served drinks? She doesn't know but she was so fascinated by you.
"What can I get you Agent... Hill was it?" You asked a small smile plastered on your face. "Yeah, I'll just get a Bourbon thanks." Maria was she surprised you knew her name, she was never the type to really socialize out of work.
"Didn't know you were a Bourbon type of person." You handed her the glass. "I'm surprised you know who I am." Maria smirked as she drank.
Tony and the others looked her like it was the beginning of a new world. "Is it just me or is she really talking to someone." Steve and the rest looked at the rest eyes wide as saucers.
"How come you know my name and I don't, the roles here are kinda mixed up." Maria looked at you with a grin. "Well then in that case my name's Y/N." You winked at her before leaving for another customer.
"Oh my god this is really happening, they said each others name now!" Wanda announced as the rest of the avengers did silent fist bumps.
Maria excused herself since you were still busy, she walked to the team and seeing they had smiles that could reach their ears like idiots.
"I've never been so proud." Sam pretended to wipe a single tear from his eyes. "Were you guys watching me the whole time?" Maria rolled her eyes. "You're finaly gonna get in bed with someone!" Tony exclaimed.
Maria shook them off as she took a swig from her glass, eyes directly scanning for you. "What's a pretty girl like you doing here? My name's Mark by the way." A guy shamelessly flirted with you.
"Uhm I work here? What's your last name Mark? Don't take any other way I'm just curious." You asked handing him a beer.
"It's List, for Mark List you wanna steal it fro me?" He smirked as you laughed while shaking your head. "So it's not Sloan for Mark Sloan, but it is after a guy who killed his entire family and his own mother a.k.a John List, cool cool."
"Seeing you're not The Mark Sloan I have no interest in getting in bed with you." You smiled as you did the nose scrunch before walking away.
You noticed Maria walking back to the bar with a cocked brow. "That guy's gonna be terrified of his last name now." You rolled you eyes at what she said.
"Yeah well that's just the tio of the iceberg. A while ago a guy just flat out asked me if I wanted the greasex ever. I mean like that's just plain rude, didn't even ask me out first."
Maria chuckled while tracing the opening of the glass. "Just the tip of the iceberg." She said.
"So.." Maria started gaining your attention. "Do work at a bar full time?" She asked you shook your head. "I'm the new director for the medical wing in Shield." What you said almost made her choke on air.
"What?! You're a doctor? How come I've never seen you?" Maria asked not believing you yet. "Because I was head of surgery here at New York, and Fury recruited me to be the new director since your old one reitred."
"Wow ok, then what're you doing here being a bartender?" She asked. "Does asking question to question come with being an agent? 'Cause holy crap you have alot."
The agent only shrugged as you grinned at her. "Completely different right? I used to part time during med school." Answering her question.
A man walked in wearing a dark navy suit, he had dirty brown hair and brown eyes. You let out a heavy sigh as you watched him. "Who is that?" Maria asked noticing you state.
"That man is my ex, and now he's walking towards the bar shit." You cursed as you turned around your back facing him. "If you need a savior let me know" Maria smirked. "A knight in shining armor I see." A light blush appearing on your cheeks.
You over to him just wanting to get his drink and walk away. "Y/N.." He mumbled surprised as he sees you. "Just tell me what you want Alex." You say not looking at him.
The avengers seemed to have noticed you two and began to gossip. "Oh my god that must be her ex look at the way she's talking to him." Natasha pointed out.
You were getting pissed by the second because all he was talking about was giving him another chance. "Please Y/N. I promise you I'll be different." He pleaded.
"That's what you said the first three times Alex." You scoffed rolling your eyes. "I swear to you Y/N, I will treat you better." Maria scoffed at the guy seeing the conversation you two were having from down the bar.
"I am NOT sorry Alex, we are never getting back together. And infact I'm already seeing someone." You lied about the last part you were not infact seeing anyone.
Alex looked at you with a smug face. "Really is that person here? Can I meet them then?" He asked totally not believing you. "Ye- yeah they're here, I'll gladly introduce you just give me a minute."
Walking further down the bar while mentally cursing at yourself, you see Maria looking at you with an amused face. "So you're seeing someone?"
"No no I wasn't, I had to lie for him to leave me alone. And now he wants to meet that non existant person." You panicked eyes darting from one thing to another.
"I think I have a plan." You looked at her. "By the way your looking at me, I'm part of that plan." She raised a an eyebrow a small smirk forming.
"Do yiu have any other plan?" You ask as she shaked her head. Maria sees Alex trying to look for you while heading towards the two of you.
"Close your eyes for me beautiful." Maria says while you ask her why while you blush at what she called you but she insists, you end up closing them half confused and terrified with what she's about to do.
You felt her cold hands hold the side of your neck as her thumb traced the end of your jaw, you were about to ask her what she's doing but she cut you off.
She cut you off by closing the gap between the two of you. She pulled away since you weren't responding to the kiss. "If you want him gone your gonna have to kiss me back." Whispering in your ear.
Wanda quietly squealed and the rest cheered as Natasha smirked at Clint while he rolled his eyes handing her the 50. "Dude where's the rest." "I'll give the rest if she asks her out."
You opened you eyes to be met with her blue ones staring into your E/C ones, nodding at her your lips ghosted over hers contemplating if you were really doing this or not.
Maria grew impatient and connected hers with yours instead. The kiss was passionate your lips in sync with hers. After pulling away for a breath you accidentally leaned forward chasing hers lips.
"Thanks for that." You leaned back after seeing him gone from the bar. "I hope your plan had the same idea as mine." She smiled at you. "I- uh- no it was fine! That's one way for him to leave right?" Stammering your words as she chuckled at your state.
When you left for a moment Maria turned around to see the gang giving her a knowing smirk. Her cold blye eyes immediately staring at your E/C ones once you came back into her view.
Maria's face turning into a scowl as she noticed a few men shamelessly trying to woo you as you walked towards her. "Keep staring at them like that, they'll turn into stone."
Her scowl softening as she gazes up on you. "They deserve it if they even think of coming close to you." You laughed at her protectiveness towards you.
"Take me on a date then maybe I'll let you turn them into stone." She looked at you eyes wide with a playfull smile. "If it males things less ackward after I kissed you then sure."
"Next week Friday, 7:00pm?" Maria suggested as you nodded. "Great, I'll pick you up at medbay"A red tint spreading on your face as the agent warnly snñmiled at you.
Just after she asked you out her pager beeped. "That's great timing really." You looked at her with an amused face. "Right? Its like I knew it gonna happen after adking you out."
Before she left she stopped to look at you a last time. "If he disturbs you again and you need a lover let me know." Sending you a playfull wink while grabbing both your hands and kissing your knuckles.
"Who knew THE Maria Hill could be such a romantic." Tony said while drinking from his champagne glass. Natasha looked at Clint with a smirk.
The agent let out a defeated sigh as he handed her the other 50$ glaring at the black widow. "Damn even Hill got a date, Cap when do you think you'll get one." Sam teased.
"Oh fuck you.' He rolled his eyes as everyone erupted in laughter as they all shouted "Language!" At him.
