Worthy (Captain America/Steve Rogers Love Story)

Avenge

Charlies POV:

No matter how this ends, I wanted Steve to know I loved him. I dont know why i was acting the way I was. I felt different.

We climbed the mountain in silence. We all were on high alert After what Nebula told us how could we not be.

"Natasha, daughter of Ivan. Clint, son of Edith. Charlotte, daughter of no one" The floating figure said to us. I recognized him and his hostility right away

"Red Skull" I said with a growl

" Not here. Consider me a guide. To you, and to all who seek the Soul Stone." He said, I glared at him angry by what he had done

"Oh, good. You tell us where it is. Then we'll be on our way." Nat said impatiently

"Ah, liebchen– If only it were that easy." Red skull said. He started leading us to a cliff. I followed cautiously not trusting him one bit

"What you seek lies in front of you... as does what you fear." Red skull said. I looked to Nat knowingly

"The stone is down there." I said

"For one of you. For the other two... In order to take the stone, you must lose that which you love. An everlasting exchange. A soul, for a soul." He said. We all looked at each other, you could see the dread creep into our bodies. We all walk around trying to figure out who is going to jump, Each of us electing our own selves.

"Maybe he's making this shit up." Clint said. I shook my head

"No. I don't think so." Nat responded, I agreed with her

"Why, 'cause he knows your Daddy's name?" Clint responded frustrated.

"I didn't." Nat responded. I put my hand on her shoulder in comfort.

"Thanos left here with the stone without his daughter. It's not a coincidence." I said to Clint

"Yeah." Clint said finally letting it sink in

"Whatever it takes." Nat said

"Whatever it takes." Clint and I respond. We all stand in a circle looking at each other

"If we don't get that stone, billions of people stay dead." Nat said and we all nodded

"Then I guess we both know who it's gotta be." Clint said

"I guess we do." I said, but in my mind I thought it was me. We all grabbed each others hands in sorrow knowing what was about to happen/ But I could see we weren't all on the same page

"I'm starting to think– we mean different people here, Natasha." I spoke in worry

"For the last five years we've been trying to do one thing: Get to right here. That's all it's been about. Bringing everybody back." Nat spoke

"Oh, don't you get all decent on me now." Clint scoffed

"What, you think I wanna do it? I'm trying to save your life, you idiot." Nat said to him

"Yeah, well, I don't want you to, because I– Natasha, you know what I've done. You know what I've become." Clint said. I looked at him sadly

"I don't judge people on their worst mistakes." nat spoke and i knew where she was goin with this.

"You didn't." She finished

"You're a pain in my ass, you know that?" Clint said as they brought each other close. I smiled at the two. I slowly started creeping towards the cliff. Once I was close enough I made the jump. I failed the first time, i won't again. I want Steve to life a long and happy life. One he deserves. Before I could fall ay further, I was hooked to a grappling hook, and grabbed the hand of the person who stopped me.
