Cecelia looked at tony and sighed ‘’youre, right,i do protect my agents. As a head of sheild. Im not gonna let any agent go down like that’’ she started syaing ‘’but.. she is your sister, and to many of us, an honorary avenger. So im gonna d what ican to. Make sure shes safe’’ she siad simply with shrug,though sh could feel her heart pounding in her chest ‘’besides… seeing you.. upset like that.. didnt exactly.. sit well for me.. so… i figured if i could… make you less worried then.. i should’’ she stated sheepishly befor grabbing her bowl and turning aorund to place it in the sink behind her now that she was done with it. Plus she also didnt wnat tony seeing her face go red either.
Bucky paused as he heard the last thing Lilian sia dbefore she passed out.. he sat there quietly processing what she said… no woman had ever said that to him before.. at least not that he could remmeber at least… he didnt know how to handle those words or what to do… he did like the girl.. but he ahd no clue what kind of ‘liking’he had for her as he had never been able to have those kinds of feelings. Before for anyone…

Tony stood there quietly as Cecilia spoke, and then he understood. "So you didn't do it just for Lily, or for SHIELD. You did it for me" he concluded and looked at her. "Thank you Penny. I mean it. Very few people would go so far as to do as much as you did, and the state that she's been in with this today I just..." he trailed off. "Me being in the public eye is one think, I'm the son of Howard Stark, the CEO of Stark Industries for crying out loud. Lily's never wanted any of that, she'd hide behind a desk if I let her work under me, but she wants to help people, she doesn't care about acknowledgement, that's why she joined SHIELD in the first place. What happened today would have ruined that for her. Now it won't, thanks to you" Tony said sincerely. He walked over and stood somewhat behind her, then leaned over her shoulder and kissed her cheek. "I owe you alot more than a fancy lunch date" he said softly.

Cecelia slightly turned ehr head, to show that she was paying attention as tony spoke…she understood what he menat, about him being int he public eye, an dhow lily didnt wnat that.. and frankly,she didnt wnat lily int he public eye either.. she saw how great she was inside sheild… and knew that the girl belonged there. When tony came and kissed her cheek,she couldnt help but blush madly ‘’y-you dont have to thank me Tony…and you certainly dont.. owe..me anything’’ she siad and turned aorund, her lower back pressing against the sinks edge since tony was so close to her… ‘’ive seen lily’s performance reviews.. how well she works inside of sheild… how shes worked her way up to be where she is.. she deserves to keep her job… and at least this way.. youre also looking out for her by kniwing where she is.. knowing shes safe..’’ she said gently, her heart was pounding hard inside of ehr chest,she swore it was loud enough to be heard by the entire compund… she knew exactly why she was nervous too,she had secretly been in love with tony for a while now.. and being so close made her nervous….

Tony smiled at Cecilia and slightly shook his head "Oh but I do. Very few care about a Stark, unless they're looking for money or power, and you didn't do it for either. So yeah, I owe you big time" he said. Tony took a small step back when Cece turned around, though they still stood close together. Tony had never met anyone like Cecilia, and he had withheld feelings for her, for a long time now. Finally Tony just, wavered himself closer, almost like a dance until their lips met and he kissed her.

Ceclia went to go deny again that tony didnt owe her anyting.. but she was to late ont hat front. By the time she mustered up the curoage to speak again,she felt lips on her own..she let out a small squeak sound form shock from before finally melting into the kiss. Her arms losely snaked. Around Tony’s neck, permanently close any gaps that were between them. She felt like bombs were going off insid eof her body.. she felt tony deepen the kiss which only made her wnat him more… her hands found their wya into his short hair and gripped onto it lightly. Cecelia pressed herself into Tony more, not wanting such an action to ever end between them.

Tony held onto Cecilia's hips as he pulled her closer when she returned the kiss. But his mind was running wild, as much as he wanted to continue or more, he didn't and wouldn't treat Cece like girls he'd had in the past, and everyone knew what a playboy he had been before he moved to New York, he didn't want to take her down that same path. Eventually Tony forced himself to break the kiss. "Im sorry, I'm sorry Pen" he stammered a bit. Tony cleared his throat. "As much...as I want...all this? I can't. I won't repeat what kind of person I was back in Malibu, and I sure as hell won't treat you like some grab girl, you are so much better than that. You deserve so much better than that" he said as he took a small step back.

Cecelia looked at Tony after they parted, she could see the internal turmoil in his eyes ‘’ Tony… you are not that guy.. you do knwo that dont you? Yes.. you have a past.. hi who doesnt?… i dont for one second believe youd treat me like you did those other girls. You've changed in more ways than just that's one Tony’’ she said gently and took his hands in hers ‘’how about this? How about we take things slow okay? We can just take things slowly, go on a few dates… get to know each other more.. on a deeper level… and just.. go at our. Own pace.. how does that sound?” Cecelia asked as she looked at tony.

Tony felt a little worried that Cecilia would assume he was pushing her away and it made him a little anxious. He nodded with a shaky breath at what she said. "Yeah, slow. We can do slow" Tony said softly. "I just...I don't want to have one of those things where we jump into bed together and things don't work out...I want us to be on the same page that we're ready to do that because we love each other. I care about you ALOT Cecilia, I've seen you differently than any other woman in my entire life, and I don't want to risk ruining anything between us because I'm terrible for that" he somewhat rambled. "I...I'm sorry it's been...its been a day..." he added rubbing the bridge of his nose.

Cecelia did have couple missions, but it was mainly gathering intel on some key players int he terror*st game and thigns liek that. Nothing hydra related at all. She had also told. Lilian the next day when she was of better mind functions, what she had done and how she ahd her job back and everything was handled.. the girl was skeptical. Till. Cece. Showed lily the changes and how everythign was truly handled.

Tony felt like....well a little less stressed with things between him and Cecilia. He'd never been good at the whole relationship thing and had a bad habit of putting his foot in his mouth so he tried to avoid doing that with Cece, especially after all the trouble she went to in order to help Lillian and her little snafu. Tony had been in the city for a board of directors meeting that afternoon, coming back later in the evening after he grabbed several extra large pizzas that everyone could share, hopefully.
Lillian had heard eventually from Cecilia and how she had fixed everything, Lily wasn't sure exactly how she managed it, but she thanked her and hugged her. Her life was semi normal again, only she decided to actually put in the work, not just say she did. So she spent some time with Bucky before flying overseas for a week to teach children in Benin. She had learned French in school and it was their primary language which made things much easier. Lily absolutely loved what she did that week. Happy picked her up in the Stark Industries private jet and flew her back to America. Though she had no recollection of the night she was drunk either...
