Soldier Boy

Shawarma

The portal closed just in time for Tony to make it out. We smiled.

"Son of a gun." Steve said.

"He's not slowing down." Thor said ready to fly up and catch him but Hulk beat him to it. Hulk grabbed him and fell a few feet away from us. We ran over to them. Thor quickly laid him on his back and threw off his mask.

"Is he breathing?" Steve asked as he kneels down. Steve checks to see if he is. He wasn't. I place a hand on Steve's shoulder. He looks up at me. Hulk then roared, making Tony gasp awake. Hulk gave out a victory roar and pounded his chest.

"What the hell?" Tony says. "What just happened? Please tell me nobody kissed me."

"We won." Steve said. Tony sighs.

"Alright, yay! Hurray. Good job, guys. Let's just not come in tomorrow. Let's just take a day. Have you ever tried shawarma?" Tony asks and Steve smiles and softly chuckles. "There's a shawarma joint about 2 blocks from here. I don't know what it is, but I want to try it."

"We're not finished yet." Thor says. Steve looks up at Thor.

"And then shawarma after." Tony says. Thor helped him up and he flew him to the tower. Hulk jumped from building to building. I held out a hand to Steve.

"Are you sure?" He looked back at my wounds.

"I'm sure, Soldier Boy." I gave him a soft smile. He grabbed my hand and we took off to the tower. We all stood in front of Loki as he struggled to sit up on the stairs. He slowly looks up at us.

"If it's all the same to you," he said. "I'll have that drink now."

"All right, get him on his feet." Tony says. "We can all stand around posing up a storm later. By the way, feel free to clean up."

"Who gets the, uh, magical wand?" Nat asks.

"S.T.R.I.K.E. team's coming to secure it." Steve tells her. Just then the S.T.R.I.K.E. team came in with Jasper Sitwell.

"We can take that off your hands." Sitwell says. Clint grabbed a drink.

"By all means." Nat gave it to him. "Careful with that thing."

"Yeah, unless you want your mind erased, not a fun way." Clint says.

"We promise to be careful." Rumlow says.

"On my way down, coordinate search and rescue." Steve says into the comm.

"I'll join you." I walked with him. Loki turns into Steve.

"On my way down, coordinate search and rescue." Loki mocks then turns back into himself. "I mean honestly, how do you keep your foo-"

"Shut up." Thor puts a muzzle on Loki. Me and Steve left the room and started helping. Later we met up with the team at the shawarma place Tony told us about. We ate in silence. I was leaning on Steve's shoulder while drinking my coke.

The next day we met at Central Park to say goodbye to Thor as he takes Loki and the Tesseract to Asgard. I wore a black leather jacket, light blue jeans, a light grey shirt and my black combat boots. Thor picked me up in a giant bear hug. I laughed.

"I'm going to miss you too, Thor." I said, hugging him back.

"Until next time, Lady Mason." He set me back down. He stood with Loki and held onto the container that had the Cube in it. Thor gave us a final nod before turning into 2 beams of blue and shooting up into space. Once gone I said goodbye and gave a hug to Nat and Clint. I shook Bruce's hand and Tony's. Clint and Nat got in a car together and sped off and Tony and Bruce followed. I turned to Steve who was leaning against his motorcycle looking at me. I walked over to him. He gave me a smile. I returned it.

"So what's the next step for Steve Rogers?" I asked. He laughed.

"I don't know." He said honestly. "Do you?"

"Not a clue." I let out a little laugh. "Back to home, I suppose." I said.

"Need a ride?" He asked.

"I'm still a little weak from healing myself, so yeah. That sounds great." I smiled.

"Have you ever rode on a motorcycle?" He asks as he gets on.

"I have. It's been a while though." I said as I hopped on.

"Hold on tight. I like to go fast." He smiles.

"That's what I like to hear, Soldier Boy." I smirked and wrapped my arms around his waist. He gave me one final smile before starting the motorcycle and taking off.
