Falling for the Captain

Trouble in Paradise

Steve's POV

LC and the girls left about 4 hours ago. I know they can mend for themselves, but I'm just worried about LC. Maybe it's because I care for her a lot. I try to shake off the thought and continue punching the punching bag. My punches are getting intense, which leads to a BAM. The punching bag flies off the hook and beads cover the floor. Luckily, I had brought an extra one with me. I head to the gym showers and get a quick rinse. I walk back out to the gym and out of the corner of my eye, I see a figure wearing all black approach me.

"Not getting enough sleep?" Director Fury asks. I look in his direction as I hang a new punching bag.

"No, getting enough sleep. Just got a lot on my mind," I reply. He sends a smirk in my direction.

"Yeah, I know, LC is great, ain't she?" he says. I turn to his direction and he laughs. "Relax, Cap. I'm not here to reprimand you. If anything, she would reprimand me for trying to reprimand you." I laugh at his statement fully knowing LC would do such a thing.

"What can I do for you, Director Fury?" I ask. Fury never visits unless it's for a reason.

"Sorry to cut your honeymoon short, but we got trouble in paradise," he says and hands me a folder. I open it and see pages of HYDRA's latest base: Sokovia.

"What's this?" I hesitantly ask.

"We found Strucker. He has Loki's scepter," he replies. With that being said, Thor walks into the room. He reaches out to me and we do a bro hug.

"Good to see you, Thor," I say.

"You as well, Captain. Although, we must stop meeting under these circumstances," Thor says. I couldn't agree more. "I heard that I finally get to meet the Lady Lieutenant Commander. Is she nearby?"

"No, she's out with the women. They should be back shortly," I reply.

"Word has it that you have yourself a Lady, Captain. What better can you do than Lady Lieutenant Commander?" Thor chuckles. I can't help but laugh.

"Not official, not just yet." I say with a stern voice. I want LC to be mine. It just seems right. With that being said, I get a text from Tony saying that the girls are back.

"Cap, please come get your woman. Like, now. -Tony" I laugh at his text.

"I'll leave you guys to it," Fury says and exits the building from God knows where to god knows where. Thor and I take the elevator to the dining area, where I hear commotion and then suddenly, a glass breaking.

"Hey! That was for my ice cream!" I hear from a pouty, yet so familiar voice. Thor and I enter the kitchen to see 4 drunk girls all over the place. Faye carefully walks over the glass, but slips on a puddle that she's probably too drunk to see. Out of the 4 of them, LC is probably the most fucked up.

"SON OF A GUN!" She screams yet sings at the same time. I didn't know that was possible. Kris, Nat, and Grace all laugh at her as she lays on the floor laughing, yet crying.

"THOR!!!" Kris yells and embraces him in a hug. I run towards LC as she struggles to get up on her own. I grab her by the waist and yank her up easily. She smells like tequila and vanilla. What an odd mixture. It takes her a while to process who picked her up, but when her brown eyes meet mine, she lets out a huge smile. She wraps her arms around my neck and I bring her in closer to me.

"Hi Cap!" She says in her drunken voice and a big smile. I pull her away from me, but close enough that she's still in my arms. I can tell by her eyes she's already gone.

"Hi, beautiful. Did you have fun tonight?" I ask her as she looks at my lips with lust.

Shit.
