Elemental Mastery (Steve Rogers Love Story)

Silence is Deafening

I sit between my father and Steve at the table on the now empty bridge of the ship. Iv changed into an old SHIELD training shirt and leggings. I can't bring myself to focus, Loki broke us all up, that was his goal.

Fury is standing in front of us talking about something, but I can't bear to even listen to him. I see him throw Coulson's Captain America cards on the table, the cards covered in blood, and I have to look away. I feel like I'm going to vomit. I come back into focus when fury walks behind my chair and puts his hand on my shoulder

"There was an idea, Stark number one knows this" He says pointing to my father, "Stark number two supported it, called the Avengers Initiative. The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people to see if they could become something more. See if they could work together when we needed them to, to fight the battles we never could"

"That's why we brought everyone together here," I say quietly, not even having the energy to address his Stark number two comment. Fury Squeezes my shoulder lightly, comfortingly, I knew what that meant, the next part was going to hurt me.

"Phil Coulson died still believing in that idea" Fury says pausing, "In hero's."

Tony suddenly bursts up from his chair and walks out of the room. Still internally battling my feelings from what he said earlier I resist the urge to go after him, he thinks I'm a mistake, he will never accept me for what or who I am?

"Kaylee?" Steve asks, breaking me out of my thoughts again. As he extends his hand out to me "Come on let's go find your father"

"No im ok, you go, my father won't want to see me" I say sadly Looking over to the cards again, I shouldn't have teased Coulson so hard about them.

"No sorry you're coming with me" He says, pulling me with him, back into the containment room. Coulsons blood is still on the wall. Both of them start talking and arguing again. I sit on the floor next to the spot Coulson died just a few hours ago. Bringing my knees to my chest, trying my best to not have a meltdown. Small shadows creeping out around me. I try my best to ignore everything that these two men are arguing about until my father looks directly at me, offering me his hand.

"Loki's going after the tower, the power source" He says, noticing I wasn't paying attention to anything they were just saying "Sorry about your friend kid. Also sorry about what I said when I was under the influence of the staff, I do think your special kid never forget that, also I brought your old suit just incase, they told me they would put it in your bunk"

"Great, I'll suit up" I say, pushing down any feelings I may be having, now's not the time to feel anything. I get dressed in my old suit, and tap the cuff on my ear. Hair black as night again, I play with my hair for a moment before putting it up. Quickly running over to the awaiting jet, as soon as I make my way over to it I see a SHIELD operative run off of it looking slightly afraid. Shrugging off the strange occurrence i walk up the ramp

"What a sight for sore eyes" I hear Clint say flirtatiously, i look up and see that he already has his arms outstretched for me and immediately i run to hug him.

"Great to have you back Hawk" I say with a smile "Don't you ever scare me like that again"

"Great to be back Fenix" He says punching me in the arm lightly in return "You know i can make those kinds of promises"

"Let's go kick Loki's ass," I say as the plane starts to take off "We gotta get you back home after all."

I walk over to the back of the jet and take my normal seat, trying to focus on the mission at hand.
