Kaira

70 years filled with cold freaking ice.
70 year of being whatever age I am now.
And 70 years next to Capsicle.
It wasn't all that bad, just, yah know, most of it.
"Where are we? Really?" Cap asked the nurse, getting angry as he scooped me up and bust through the wall, running all the way into the middle of Time's Square.
"At ease, Solider." Fury said as he whipped around placing me on his back. I glanced up at him.
"It's ok, Cap. He's a good guy." I whispered so only he could hear.
"You've been asleep for 70 years." He said before Steve looked down at me, and I nodded.

One year later...

"Hey princess, what are you doing?" Steve asked as he walked into our little two room apartment.
"Makin sandwiches. Want one?" I asked as I held one out to him.
"Sure, what kind is it?" He took a bite.
"Peanut butter and jelly."
"What kind if jelly?" He tried.
"Boysinberry. It's always been my favorite." I smiled as he took another bite, and sipped in my milk. "Hey!" I giggled as he pulled away with a milk mustache.
"What? Oh? Do I have something here?" He pointed at his left cheek.
"No!" I laughed.
"Here?" He pointed at his forehead.
"No!" I shrieked before he started to tickle me. Once he stopped, he wiped his mouth, and let out a hearty chuckle.
"Ready for bed, pumpkin?" He smiled, lifting me up into the air and placing me on his hip.
"Yeah." I snuggled into his chest until we got to my room. He placed me down and I grabbed my Pjs and got dressed as he readied my stuffed animals. Once he had me all tucked in, I asked my question. "Are you going to join the Avengers?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, uh, I don't know." He sighed.
"If you don't, can I?" I asked softly.
"No, I don't want you to get hurt." He said as I used my magic to grab another one of my stuffies.
"I've been practicing." I sniffled, giving him my best puppy dog eyes, hoping he would change his mind.
"I know you have... I'll bring you with me tomorrow then, ok?" He sighed as I grinned.
"Thank you!" I bubbled.
"Only-" He paused as I went silent. "If you go to sleep." I wrapped my arms around him, and kissed his cheek before snuggling down into my bed and pretending to sleep.
"Sweet dreams, kitten." He kissed my forehead before turning on my night light, and shutting off the other lights.

I get to be an Avenger.
