Steve had no idea what he was in for.
Tony had told him this wasn't something he wanted to see. Steve asked if it was interesting? Tony hesitated, of course when it came to her and her ragtag group it was interesting. He nodded before stepping off the elevator.
"Then I'm where I want to be."
Tony could hear the group laughing and jostling around. She was blocked by two men, they were all snickering like a group of school children and he understood why as her voice cut through the room. Several SHIELD agents stood by looking unnerved, nodding at Tony and Steve as they made their way closer. 
"No! No!" She giggled, "wait!!!" Her laughter rang out clear as bells, "but Major!! I can't feel… I can’t feel my legs!"
Tony stumbled, nearly tripping over his own feet. He knew why she was here-
"Lt. Hawkeye- that's cause…. you ain't got no legs!!" One of the men guffawed, Tony knew Greyson, he'd been with her since the beginning. That didn't matter, he held onto a tabletop as Steve paused, the men falling over each other with their laughter and stepping away, looking over their shoulders to find Tony and Steve there. 
Steve liked her laugh, the way the men seemed to surround her protectively and he was sure they were quoting a movie of some sort, he didn't understand the reference, but he halted as the men stepped away revealing the woman that sat on the table, with no legs. 
She spotted him, the way his mouth fell open slightly and how he couldn’t look away, all five simultaneously burst into laughter. Their howling laughter reminded him of nights around the fire back during the war, DumDum being the loudest, Bucky being the other laughter he remembered readily… it had been a long time since he’d thought of that.
Steve swallowed, she had golden brown eyes, like honey caught in the rays of the sun. It had been a moment, they were squeezed shut as she held onto her gut with one hand, the other on the bicep of the nearest man.
"TONY!!" She cried, "you bring a civi with you to see me like this?!"
"That sugar is none other than Captain America. He wanted to see something interesting."
She grinned at him, a megawatt smile, Steve stood a little out of sorts. "Welcome to the freak show Cap'n!!" She exclaimed, kicking what was left of her legs. 
Tony sighed, shoving between the four men, "McKenna," he growled at her, her smile slipped away and Steve watched as the men backed away giving Tony the space he needed. "Steve, this is Lieutenant McKenna Hawkeye, she," he sighed, pulling out a roll around stool and sitting in it to drag himself in front of her, "she is military raised and first ever full consciousness transferred successfully over to AI based storage."
Steve frowned as she looked at him, "does that mean you've created another Ultron?"
She squeaked as Tony pressed a smoldering tool to her exposed leg circuitry. "It means-OUCH!" she smacked at Tony.
He snorted, "you can't feel that."
"I CAN!" she glared and looked at Steve, "it means I was dying and they basically downloaded all my memories and feelings to a floppy disc."
"Memory card?" Greyson mused.
"Mac!! FLOPPY DISC!!" The men fell into a fit of laughter but piped up when Tony threw a glare at them. 
"Who is supposed to be looking after this floppy disc anyhow?!" Tony asked looking at Greyson who looked sheepish.
The tall dark haired man stepped forwards. "Sir, she skipped out of my line of sight."
"And managed to destroy her legs in that time?" Tony sighed, "why don't you guys go ahead and get out of here? It's gonna be hours and I don't have an extra body just laying around. Go do whatever it is you do to waste time aside from letting this one lose body parts."
"Tony-" she said his name quietly, before looking at the guys in full tac gear and smiling. "Go get some R&R, make sure to enjoy yourselves!"
"Mmm, cause the girl is dispensable-" Tony muttered loud enough for them to hear.
"Mac-" the youngest one looked guilty.
She waved her hands and shook her head. "R&R for a week and then we'll see where we are." Steve watched as the four men all moved to wrap their arms around her and pat the top of her head before disappearing down the hall he and Tony had come through. “You don’t have to be so hard on them.”
Tony snorted, eyes flicking to Steve before he continued with his work. “This will take me a week minimum if I work straight through, last time you were out of commission for a month.”
“And?”
“McKenna!!”
“Tony,” she leveled a glare at him, arms crossing over her chest, “I am just a hunk of metal here, I can be rebuilt, those guys are flesh and blood, they will die.”
“We don’t know that.”
She rolled her eyes, “just download me all over again.”
Tony shook a wrench at her, “just because Hammer didn’t give two f-”
“Hammer?!” Steve cut in.
Both looked over and she leaned back on her hands as Tony ducked back down, “Hammer as in Hammer Industries? Justin Hammer to be precise. He’s the one that saved me, but… the bodies he had were a little… subpar. SHIELD brought me online thinking I was like Tony’s AI, which I guess I kinda am?” she snickered as Tony smacked her thigh, Steve leaned against the table next to him as she looked him up and down. “Tones? Think I can land him?”
Tony burst into laughter, eyes crinkling as she looked at him, “shut up. You are in no shape to be talking about sex.”
“Some guys like no legs…” she shot back, “it’s like a kink. Kink? Fetish??”
Steve felt his face heating up as she cocked an eyebrow at him, the corner of her mouth lifting. She had a lip piercing, various others lining her ears, and several tattoos ran up her forearms. “Ma’am, I rather like having a lady's legs wrapped around my waist thank you.”
Tony fell over and she burst into loud brash laughter. She was rough, a little vulgar, and Steve was definitely in over his head. But, he smirked, he kinda liked it that way.

Steve was surprised to find out it was plain old metal. A type of stainless steel, though McKenna boasted about the titanium alloy she had through her hip as she pounded on it with a huge grin.
“McKenna!” Tony growled, “I just put that in last time you were here!”
“And it survived this last fiasco, so that is saying something! Can we leave reviews for the doctors out there that may need it? Is there a medical yelp review?”
Tony paused looking up at her, mouth opening and shutting as she lifted her phone up. “FRIDAY? Dear? Can you get that set up? I don’t think that's a thing.”
“Yes sir.” the AI answered with what sounded like a giggle.
“McKenna leave my AI alone and stop corrupting her, you can have the captain to corrupt.”
Steve looked at Tony surprised, “huh?”
She grinned, “usually I have the boys around to fuck with and I am not corrupting her, expanding her capacity-”
“Shut it, last time I couldn’t get Shania Twain out of her system for three weeks straight because of you!” 
McKenna clapped her hands together in glee, “good girl Friday!” she nearly hopped in place till Tony placed a hand on her hip and glared.
Steve moved closer when she flopped onto her back, knowing she was frustrated at sitting still for so long. He could easily see her pacing or rolling back and forth on her feet. She spoke with her hands a lot, toyed with anything within reach often earning a growl or two from Tony. 
He brought her a pad of paper after the second day when she had begun doodling on herself and then him when she ran out of space. All the while talking.
**
The fourth day he found her and Tony yelling at each other, McKenna throwing the various tools he had left within reach at him. Both near snarling.
Steve dragged Tony away to find out the argument had started with Tony scolding her about not taking care of herself better. Where was her team? They hadn’t come to visit her once since she’d been there. 
Steve liked the way Tony growled, obviously offended that she was here alone. That she had damaged herself to make sure they were safe and they couldn’t even call?
What a softie. 
DUMM-E chirruped, sliding over with an empty coffee mug.
Tony’s face softened and he caught the mug as it slipped out of the grippers. A little laugh escaping him.
“Can you stay with her? I know a place… she likes donuts… I uh..”
Steve waved him off, “pretty sure she’s ready to bolt, so you need some air as well. Get a nap in and order the donuts to be delivered.”
Tony nodded, “yeah, good idea…” he murmured, leaving while rubbing the base of his neck.
Steve stepped back into the lab, hands held up.
“If he thinks-”
“I sent him to get some sleep, you two have been cooped up in here for too long.” 
“What are you doing?!” she asked as he swept her up. 
“Breaking the rules.”
She stared up at him with those honey brown eyes, arms wrapping around his neck as he strode from the lab. She kept silent as he took her through the halls and poked his head into a door, grinning at her as he carried her carefully. 
“This place is a kinda get away, Loki likes quiet places to read, pretty sure you could steal his heart if you wanted.”
“Mmm, steal the heart of a god? Don’t tempt me.”
“And let you slip out of my hands? No ma’am.”
She blushed as he made his way to where they could sit, the room was filled with books and plenty of green plants, the room itself was cool and she felt her heart lift. “Thank you.”
Steve watched as she settled in his lap, eyes closing in relief. He hummed in answer, not trusting himself to speak just yet. 
McKenna Hawkeye was something else, her fiery spirit made him want to say things he ought not say so quickly. She would probably laugh and wave him off, but he wanted to stay by her side while he could. 
***
By the fifth day Steve had come to look forward to going to Tony's floors and chatting with McKenna. She was a ceaseless flirt, something he enjoyed, and was beyond funny. Although Tony groaned at her dad jokes and the ones that he claimed were just completely unfunny. Steve found he rather liked the filthy jokes she shared with him and her innuendo which both Tony and she threw back at the other easily.
She told him about growing up in the southern states, how her dad took her gator hunting with crossbows when she was twelve, her uncle took her flying over the Everglades at sunset.
"You ain't lived till you seen those colors Cap," she assured him with a half grin. She hissed as Tony worked through the wiring in her calf.
"Toes?" He gruffed without looking up at her. She wiggled them and winked at Steve as he slipped his hand in hers. She toyed with his fingers, finally twining them together as she bit down on her bottom lip, brows coming together briefly. He shook his head, if he stayed a little later that night so she could tell him about chasing fireflies in the dark across the grassy fields… No one could judge him right?
He liked when Tony groaned as she hummed 'Man! Feel Like a Woman!' Which Steve had learned faster than he should feel comfortable with.
**
Tony was almost done, she would be headed back out once he had finished with the last modifications. There was just one problem, "FRIDAY, don't let her know, I'd rather it come from me than her tripping over it."
"Of course sir," she answered quietly.
Steve stopped by the small enclosed office he kept, it was just a small glass cubicle where Tony kept a small desk for paperwork. "Something wrong?" He asked, glancing over his shoulder to where McKenna laid on the table eyes closed, arms at her side. 
Tony sat back, the chair rolling around so that he could catch a glimpse of her. "FRIDAY? Lock it down." Steve stepped to the side so that Tony could kick the door shut, "every time she comes in we run diagnostics." He sighed heavily, rubbing a hand over his face.
Steve waited, he didn't like the tone Tony had, it unsettled him.
"FRIDAY found a source code." Steve blinked at him. "Source code is the original writing of a program the object code is-" he waved his hands around searching for an explanation, "the version that comes after. New versions built upon the other..."
Steve took in a breath, blue eyes flying to McKenna. "Tony-"
"She's asleep, had to run maintenance on the basic programs that move her body…" he leaned forwards and sighed, "she's a more advanced AI than FRIDAY."
"No." Steve shook his head. "What about her memories?"
Tony cocked his head to the side, "Steve. Hammer made her. His scientists actually wrote her code, her memories… are not real." Tony felt bad as Steve shook his head, "I can't believe they were able to do it honestly, we actually thought they had transferred a human consciousness-"
"Tony!" Steve hissed, "I've spoken to her!! She's told me so much about herself, h-how could-?!" His face twisted in anger and pain. If she were to hear this… Steve looked over at her again, "she's not real??" He felt as if the wind was knocked out of him. 
"Not entirely certain what they wanted to do with her originally, why make it seem like she was human from the beginning? They could have been-"
Tony's voice drowned out as he kept talking, Steve only half listening. She felt real. Not her body but… her laugh? The way she described pecan pie and talking about smashing pumpkins. McKenna was more real and alive than many he had met. She liked to run her fingers along his jaw, his five o'clock shadow tickling her fingers, the way her eyes creased at the edges, the gold of her eyes. Her breath, the way she cringed when something Tony did didn't hurt at all, the set of her jaw when she was determined to not show the pain. 
"....FRIDAY is more than just an AI to me, god knows without her I would be completely lost," Tony was saying.
"Are you going to tell her?"
Tony stared at Steve, noting the way his shoulders tensed as he stared at McKenna. He folded his hands together and nodded, "made a deal with her. I will always be completely honest with her no matter what it is."
"Tony…"
"She is prideful. You can be there but her team needs to be here. They are on their way in. Should be another fifteen."
"Tony..." 
He refused to look at Steve, but stood and squeezed his shoulder, "yeah… I know buddy."
It sucks, the thought was shared by the two, unspoken.
The quiet that settled between the two was broken after not too long, the group of four men spilling onto the floor and McKenna roused slowly as Tony ordered FRIDAY to allow it.
Steve stopped at the door frame, heart sinking as the men grew louder as she swung her legs over the edge of the table. Her golden eyes meeting his and her smile faltering for a moment.
