And They Were Roommates (STEVE ROGERS X OC)

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Climbing forward, Taylor squeezed her eyes shut, feeling the creature sway underneath her. She was high up in the air on the leviathan's back, invisible, climbing towards its head. She spotted an opening there where his ears were supposed to be, the armor protecting it, but it had enough space to squeeze the grenade through.

Taylor hated heights, so climbing on a floating alien in the sky wasn't her cup of tea. But she had to get it done, even if most of the others didn't know where she currently was. They were wondering, she was sure, she heard them talking through her earpiece. But she couldn't talk, she didn't want to know the creature she was there.

Sighing, she lunged forward and pulled herself onto another piece of armor, being very close to its neck now. She was holding on for life. One wrong step and she could fall to her death whilst still being invisible, so her remains wouldn't be found either. She gulped at the idea, then pulled herself forward again. She was on its head now. All she needed to do was find the ears. And notify Tony so he could catch her when she jumped. But once she spoke, the thing would begin trashing.

Slowly, she pulled out a grenade from her boots, adjusting herself so she could peek under the armor on the side of the monster's head. Its ear was there, just big enough for the small grenade to slip inside and cause irreversible damage. At least that was what she hoped. Collecting her courage and bracing herself, she gripped the edge of the armor as hard as she could.

"Tony," She whispered at first, glad to realize that the creature didn't hear her yet.

"Why the hell are you whispering and where the fuck are you?"

"I think you need to come and get me," She mumbled, staring at the grenade in her hands. "I'm on a leviathan."

"What?" Tony practically shouted, making her wince. "Which one?"

Taylor checked her surroundings, then tried to find a place that could be an indicator of where she was. There was a café on the upcoming corner, and she hoped Tony knew it. It was written in big bold letters on top of the building.

"There's this café. Cozy Caff, or whatever its name is."

"Heading there now."

"Just say when you are here."

Taylor got ready, still gripping the grenade, knowing she would have to pull the safety pin and throw it in the creature's ear any second now.

"I see it, but where the fuck are you?"

Taylor didn't reply, just pulled the pin, and with one quick motion, tossed the grenade in its ear. The alien shook underneath violently, and even if she wanted to, she couldn't hold on anymore, so she slipped right off, falling from its back. She let out an automatic scream, feeling her stomach lifting as her eyes widened.

She quickly tapped at her neck, making herself go visible again, but she feared it was too late as the ground was nearing too quickly. The swish of Tony's ironman suit hit her ears just as she squeezed her eyes shut, ready to hit the ground, and she did hit something, but it wasn't as painful as she anticipated.

Tony clutched her close to himself as he tried to get away from the furious, trashing leviathan coming at them, but the next second, a loud explosion could be heard, and the head of the creature dropped immediately, sending a splash of blood all over the place as it dropped to the ground, crashing everything underneath it.

"You are fucking crazy," Tony grumbled, clearly upset as he flew to the top of the nearest building, setting Taylor down.

"Oh my gosh I'm going to throw up," She said hastily as she dropped to her knees and tore her mask off, clutching her lifting stomach. "Have you seen the blood? Eww."
