Mystifying the Captain (Steve X OC)

Chapter 21 - Jarvis

(Steve POV)

"Yea, I know. I promise I'm still all in." I tell Sharon on the phone while I look at Cass in her cell. It breaks my heart to see her so fragile. "Are you still coming to the party tomorrow?" I try to get her mind away from the situation. I know she's worried I'll go back to Cass now that she's back.

"Yea, I'll go, if you're still my date." She says on the phone a bit seductively. We have only been on a few dates, but being with her is so easy. We haven't made love yet, I just can't get my mind off of Cass when we get close to it. It's not fair to Sharon.

"You know I am. I've gotta go, work. Talk to you tonight babe." I hang up not waiting for her to respond. My mind is on Cass. We bandaged her up and stuck the old device on her neck. Tony upgraded it to suppress her Goddess abilities too, thanks to Thor and Loki. Now we are just waiting for her to wake up.

Bucky hasn't left her side. He sits in the corner of the cell. Waiting for her to wake up too.

"You aren't over her are you." Wanda asks walking into the viewing room where I watch Cass.

"You know I am, I'm with Sharon." I don't look at her. She will pick up my lies.

"You're so stupid Steve. You can't stop loving someone by dating someone else. Feelings just get complicated not easier." There she goes, always calling me on my shit...Cass never had a better friend than her.

"It's easy with Sharon. There's no demanding sex job, no worry that she'll fuck my best friend. There isn't an entire organization trying to take her away from me. It's simple. We can enjoy each other with no problems. I'm not going to give that up. That's what love should be, smooth." Wanda sighs deeply.

"Again you're an idiot. That's what love is in fantasy. That's what love is for everyone else. We are different. The life we live will never lend itself to that kind of love. It doesn't mean we won't love. It doesn't mean, the love we get is any less important or strong. It just means we have to fight for it."

"What if I'm tired of fighting?" I snap at her. She's been trying to talk me into leaving Sharon, when she noticed that I was becoming serious with her. She gets frustrated at me and stops talking to me for a while, then comes right back with the same conversation, every single time.

"She's waking up." Wanda states. I lose my breath for a moment and look closer. Does she remember anything?

Bucky stands up in the room. He doesn't say anything to her.

"So are you my bodyguard? If you are, that is a fine ass body." She says smirking at him. Nope, she's still gone. That's not my Cass. I watch and press record on the tablet. Tony wanted to see everything that happens, to best figure out how to bring back her memory. We tried what Bucky did the last time, months back and it just pissed her off.

"Thanks doll, yours looks a bit messed up though." He teases her. He is trying to piss her off.

She moves her hand up and gets surprised by the lack of magic.

"No magic, sorry. That nice necklace you got stops you from using those new abilities to an extreme." He says leaning down to see her giving her a smirk.

"I can still feel you though." She stands up and looks at the double sided mirror. Wanda looks at me with surprise. She's talking to me, she can feel my desire for her. "It's too bad Cap, what I feel from you isn't all too romantic. More of the desire to finish something. I'm sure I would have enjoyed what's under your uniform. Oh wait. I was told I have...Was it that bad that you let me go...again?" I clench my jaw. She's getting to me. I have to force everything down my throat so she can't use it against me.
