Frozen Sea || Poki {On Hold}

IV

We got back in the jet we came from, just a little ways into the woods, and flew back out to the Helicarrier. The flight was quite awkward, and I would crack jokes once and while, simply to relive the deep sense of anxiety I felt anytime we were in an aircraft. 

Banner was looking through the files we gave him, occasionally exchanging a few words with Natasha. Other then that, he closed himself off pretty good with the rest of us, and he kept fidgeting with his hands.

I was strapped in, with every possible strap holding me on my seat, to which Nat just rolled her eyes. Banner seemed confused on why I had so many straps, and how a SHIELD agent could be so terrified of flying.

A couple of excruciating hours later, we landed on the Helicarrier, and I instantly felt better. The Helicarrier was currently floating on the water. However many memories it brings me, I always seem to just gravitate back towards the water. It is, after all, my home turf.

When we landed, I practically flung out of my seat, out the plane, and kissed the ground. Though all with great elegance, of course. Some of the newer agents were taken back, but some of the older ones just chuckled, as this seems to be a regular occurrence.

Natasha decided it was best to go change out of her disguise, which was an Indian dress thing, even though it did look very nice, it wasn't really her style. 

Me and Banner waited by the plane, Bruce looking around completely lost.

"So Banner," I said in hopes to start a conversation. "I got to say, I admire your work. I love what you do for that town. It's constantly plagued with sickness, yet you still stay there to help others. Very noble of you."

"Uh, thanks?" He replied, still quite unsure. "If you don't mind me asking, Mr.Jackson, why aren't you afraid of me? You seem to trust me, and don't seem to cautious about me being... well, you know."

"Because I'm not that afraid of Hulk, no offense. I don't see Hulk as some monster. I see him as this man whose scared or angry, and doesn't know what to do. He cant think about the consequences, because his first priority is to protect himself, or in some cases it might be others. Hulk's not all bad Bruce, just not all people can see that."

My little speech left Bruce speechless. "Wow," he finally said. "I never thought of it like that."

"Yeah," I said. "Once people get to know me, they would know that I'm not always an oblivious and sarcastic goofball. Despite popular belief, I do actually think things through. Also, call me Percy. Or Persassy. Or some other funny nickname. Mr. Jackson makes me sound old."

"Wait," Bruce said. "How old are you?"

"18" I said.

Bruce looked at me in disbelief. "18? They recruited an 18 year old to join some top secret government organization? But your only a kid straight out of high school!"

"Well technically I was 16 when Phil recruited me, but I was 12 when I started fighting and shit. And didn't we already discuss how old they start back in India? Nat started a lot earlier. Also, its funny that you assume I came right out of high school. I dropped out about 2 and a half years ago. Doesn't matter anyway. I either zoned out, or fell asleep during class. Never got a grade above a C, and got kicked out of every school except for my high school, even though I should of after blowing up the band room," I chuckled. "Ah, the good times."

I think Bruce's face is now permanently stuck in a dumbfounded expression every time he looks at me.

"Jackson! Banner!"I heard Nat call.

We both turned around and saw Natasha walking over toward us with Steve Rogers.

"Well!" I said with a grin, "If it isn't the Star Spangled Man with a Plan! Did Phil ask you to sign his trading cards yet? Speaking of Captain America trading cards, I have a friend that might pop in to get you to sign some"

Rogers just looked down and shook his head, before looking back at us, and Banner looked at me funny, then turned back to Mr.Blue eyes. "Oh yeah, hi. They told me you'd be coming."

"Word is you can find the cube," Rogers stated all serious and stuff.

"Is that the only word on me?" He asks.

I snorted, "Of course not. Didn't you see how detailed the other files were? What makes you think we'd leave something that big out? Unless they are SHIELD agents, and have highly classified information... Right. Not helping." I cut myself off as I was met with two stares, and one death glare that I long since became immune to.

"Only word I care about," Spangles said, turning back to Banner.

"Must be strange for you, all of this," Bruce said.

"Well," he replied, looking at all the soldiers running and training, like a high tech version of the training camp he went to back in New Jersey. "This is actually kind of familiar."

"Gentlemen," Nat interrupted. "You might want to step inside for a minute. Its gonna get a little hard to breath." I palled at those words, as I completely forgot we were on an aircraft.

Just then their were clanks, as the Helicarrier prepared for lift off.

"Is this a Submarine?" Capsicle asked. I snorted at those words, as that was exactly what I thought, and was hoping for, the first time on this thing.

"Really, they want me in a submerged pressurized container?" Banner added. Even though being submerged still gives we slight anxiety after, well, those times, I'd still prefer that then to be in the air.

Insert dramatic music here, as the Helicarrier lifted into the air. I started to turn green, and get a little nauseous as we began to ascend. 

"Oh no," Banner said. "This is much worse."

"I couldn't have said it better myself," I shouted over the wind.

~~~

I was the first one of the 4 to quickly hurry inside. Oh gods. Nope. Nuh uh. I just got off a plane, and now your bringing me back into the air! Ugh.

Well, Nat, Brucie, and Stevens were quick to follow my lead, Nat seemingly amused by my eagerness to get inside. I glared at her. "Fuck you." I grumbled, and she just let out a soft chuckle.

We started making our way to meet Fury, in a slightly tense silence. Halfway there I paused remembering the office were going to. Though my sudden stop may have caused a certain fossil to trip over me. 

Lucky for me, as he bumped into me and started to fall, I was easily able to keep my balance and side step so he wouldn't fall on top of me. Ah. The glories of years of training. 

I turned to Natasha like nothing happened and stated, "Yeah, I think I'll go to my room. No way in tar tar sauce am I going to stare out those huge ass windows just to watch Mr. Pirate put on a big dramatic show."

At this point Steve has pulled himself up from the floor in a very disgruntled manor. Natasha just rolled her eyes at me. "Fine. Go. Make me suffer alone. I see how it is," she said dramatically as she wiped a fake tear from her cheek. 

"Mhm. Yup. Bye~," I said extending the e until I rounded the corner towards my private quarters. I could faintly hear a slight chuckle from Natasha.

There you go. Chapter 4. So, I got the movie, so there should be some more updates soon. Maybe.I got the movie like a couple months ago, just never found the motivation to write. I honestly don't know why or how I found the motivation to write, but I guess it doesn't matter as long as I did, right?

I also finished this chapter like a month ago and I don't know why I didn't post it. Oh well.

Thanks for sticking around, see ya next chapter bitches,
