Between the stars ~ Steve Rogers

Chapter 1

"You excited for this?" Tony asked his best friend.

"Yes, very." You said.

"He's gonna be there you know." Tony teased.

You sighed, knowing the man you had a crush on since you met him would be there leading the team with you. "I know. I'm going to just focus on my job."

"Okay..." Tony said.

"Tony, come on. You know my feelings and I've tried my best to keep them away. And I will keep doing it because he doesn't feel the same." You said.

"How do you know that? Have you ever asked him?" Tony asked. Turning to face you and giving his full attention to the conversation.

"No, but I know it. Please, stop." You said.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry." Tony sighed. "We have a meeting tomorrow with the team."

"I know." You said. "How about you? You gonna miss Pepper?"

"Of course, I will." Tony said. "I maybe an asshole sometime but I love her."

"I know, Tony. Calm down. I was just teasing you." You said smiling at your friend. "Anyways. I want you here bright and early tomorrow. Okay?"

"Aye aye, Captain. Have a good night." Tony said, putting on his sunglasses even though it was almost 7 in the evening.

"Same to you. Good night. And tell Pepper I said hi." You hugged and walked away to your car. Tomorrow would be a very busy day and the others following after. You had to get your self ready as you were going to be working alongside your crush.....

Captain Steve Rogers.

🚀🚀🚀

"Good morning." Steve said to you as you sat down next to him.

"Good morning to you too, Steve." You smiled at him.

"You excited?" Steve asked.

"Oh, very." You laughed.

"More than our first trip?" Steve asked. You and Steve's first trip had been to the ISS. Very exciting and scary at the same time.

"Yes. More than that." You said. "It's beyond that."

"Me too." Steve said. The door opened and your other team mates came in. "Hey." Steve said and stood up along with you to greet them. "Should I start?"

"Yes, go ahead." You said and took your seat again. You looked around the table and saw the crew. You'd worked with some of them before.

"Okay." Steve sighed and clapped his hands in front of him. "Why don't you all introduce yourselves to us and what job you'll be doing?" He said, "Stark? Why don't you start?"

"Okay." Tony stood up, "Hello everyone. I'm Tony Stark. And I'll be working as the chief engineer on the ship." Then stood up the youngest man in your crew, Peter Parker.

"Uh, hi. I'm Peter Parker and I'll be assisting Mr. Stark." He said, a nervous smile on his face.

"Is this your first mission, Peter?" You smiled at the boy.

"Yes, ma'am." He said.

"Don't worry, Peter. You'll do great." You said.

"Thanks, ma'am." Peter said and sat down. The others stood up accordingly and introduced themselves.

Clint Barton: Junior analyst.

Natasha Romanoff: Chief analyst.

Sam Wilson: Astronaut.

Thor Odinson: Physicist/ astronomer.

Sharon Carter: Junior analyst.

Wanda Maximoff: Space scientist.

Bucky Barnes: Astronaut.

Bruce Banner: Chief scientist.

Dr. Helen Cho: Junior scientist.

Dr. Stephen Strange: On-board doctor.

Scott Lang: Junior engineer/ comms in- charge.

Some of them would be going to the space for the first time. They were all selected due to their work in their specific fields. Steve then moved back to his chair and you stood up to explain the mission.

"Okay, so....um." You started and turned back to face your team. "We all kinda know the reason why we are here. But I will still explain. We are going to planet Nexus, which maybe our next home. Because Earth is losing it's atmosphere and-"

"Excuse me? Who are you? By the way?" Someone interrupted you. You looked to the source of the voice. Sharon Carter. "Shouldn't you introduced yourself as the part of the crew and what you do?"

"I'm Captain Y/N Y/L/N. I'll be leading this mission along with Captain Rogers. And if you want to say something next time, please raise your hand." You said to her and continued, "Where was I? Oh yeah. Our atmosphere is dimishing and within the next 50 years it'll be gone. Killing all kinds of lifeforms along with it. So, we have to go Nexus and settle there. Our main job there will be to build some temporary housing and test the soil, water and air while doing so." You ssai.

"We all have been given some specific tasks. We all will have to build some housing for us even though we'll have our quarters in the ship. We'll have to stay there a few months or a year and if we think that humans can stay and grow on the planet then we give the green signals to our contacts here on Earth and then the others will come." You sighed, "I hope I'm understood?" Steve and Tony nodded and gave you a smile. While the others nodded and uttered a small 'yes ma'am.' "Okay, then. You're all dismissed. You will be informed about our next meeting and the launch date soon."

Everyone stood up and left the room but Sharon walked up to Steve and held her hand out, "Hi. I'm Sharon Carter. Junior analyst." She said batting her eyelashes at Steve. You rolled your eyes as you could clearly see what she was doing. You stayed quiet and gathered your folder which contained information about your crew and the ship.

"Captain Steve Rogers." Steve shook her hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Steve." She said. "I heard about your ISS tour."

"Same here and thanks. And I wasn't the only one." Steve pointed at you. A small accident had happened on the ISS when you two were on board. "Anyways, I should get going." Steve said, giving Sharon a polite smile, completely unaware of her intentions. "Hey, Y/N. Should I drop you on the way?" He asked, knowing your car was in the garage.

"Uh, yeah sure." You shrugged.

"Okay. Come on then." Steve said and the two of you made your way out.

"What about Bucky?"

"Oh, he's going on a date today." Steve said. stopping at his car. He opened the door for you and then got in the driver seat, starting the car.

"A date?" You smiled. You had become good friends with Bucky through Steve and had known each other since.

"Yeah." Steve said, "It'd be nice of him to go out."

"Who is the date? Do you know?" You said.

"Yeah. She was in our meeting today." Steve said.

"What? Who?" You asked.

"Wanda Maximoff." Steve said.

"Wanda? Oh, she's nice. I know her." You said.

"I know. He said he liked her and then asked her out a few days ago." Steve said.

"I'm happy for them." You said.

"Me too." Steve continued to drive and stopped at your apartment. "Here's your stop, Captain."

"Thanks, Steve." You said and opened the door. "Have a good night." You said, leaning over and hugging him.

"You too. See you soon." Steve said as you closed the door. "Bye."

"Bye and good night."
