I blast him in the chest causing him to fall back. He flys up and at me, pushing me out the window.

I am not getting away that easily.

I grab him as I fall. He brings his hand up to throw a fist at me. I block it. I knee him in the groin and he flys up off me. I am still falling.

"AVICS! How many feet-"

"23.6 feet before ground." I kick in the air so I can turn around. I use my hand repulsors to slow me down, but I am still plummeting to the ground.

I stay up here waiting for the person in the suit to come back up.

"JARVIS, how many feet until that-" I point to the person falling, "person... crashes?"

"23.6 feet, sir."

"Thank you." I fly down to that person. It didn't look like they were coming back up, or living through that fall. We need it for questioning. I grab it by the arm but it kicks me away. It falls for a few second before the thrusters come on. What? I chase after it before it disappears in mid air.

*CARTER'S P.O.V.*

Holy shit! What was that? I fly to a fast food restaurant by the hotel. I click the button on my helmet and my suit starts to come off me. I fold into my helmet, and the helmet falls into my hands. I connected a chain to it, so the chain goes on like a necklace, but the mask goes on my back. Almost as if it were a backwards necklace, just because it's so big.

I walk into the fast food place and wait in line. If I'm not mistaken, I believe I see Steve Rogers... What do I do? Whatever, It's my turn to order.

"Uhh... One medium fry, One cheese burger and a... coke. Medium too please."

"Okay. That would be $5.04 please." I hand the cashier the money and wait by the counter for my food.

It takes about five minutes for it to be ready. I grab the tray and spin around. Not paying attention, I crash into somebody. My food soars through the air, falling onto myself and the other person. Ketchup and mustard in my and the other person's hair. I don't even look up, I just start picking up the mess.

"I am so sorry. I didn't mean to-"

"No, it was my fault. I just hope your shirt isn't wrecked, ma'am." I look up.

"Steve? Steve Rogers?" I whisper not wanting to attract attention.

"Now someone's noticed."

"Well, it isn't obvious since everyone sees you with a mask on." I pick up the tray and throw the food in the garbage. I take a few napkins and start wiping the sauce out of my hair. I hand Captain America a napkin too for his shirt and hair. He is too hot. I mean, for an old man he is.

"Most old guys have saggy ass," I say to myself.

"What?" Captain America looks away from his shirt and at me.

"What? Nothing, Capsicle. Can I call you Steve. I don't like calling you Captain or Cap. Actually... Capsicle works great." I throw my napkin in the garbage.

"I'm sorry, but you can't all me that. Someone's already claimed that nickname. Steve is great..."

"Okay 'Steve', you owe me lunch."

"Okay, ma'am."

"So, being old... You've experienced things."

"What do you mean by things?"

"You know exactly what I mean... I'm just messing with you. Chill. What's it like being old? And also being in young man's body..."

"Different. I'm just as fast as everyone else except for technology wise. I'm not good at technology. May I ask you why you have a Iron Man helmet on your back?"

"Hmm. Good question. Well, being a technologically advanced person, it lets you do things like that. Why do you have a shield on your back? No one knows. They just think it's hot." He raises an eyebrow at my sass.

"I- uhh." He doesn't say anything except for small mutterings.

"Speechless now, Cap." I look outside to see Iron Man flying around.

"I better go, Cap." I take a sip of my coke. "Thanks for the food. Call me." I wink. I start to walk away when Steve grabs my arm.

"Wait, what's your name?"

"It's... Adeline," I lie. I'm sorry that's the first thing I thought of. I walk out of the building and down the street. I walk straight to the hotel.

"Cut this picture into you and me
Burn it backwards, kill this history
Make it over, make it stay away
Or hatell say the ending that love started to say
Theres a kid, a floor below me saying, "Brother can you spare?
Sunshine for a brother old man winters in the air"
Walked me up a story asking how you are
Told me not to worry, you were just a shooting star
Sweet Adeline
Sweet Adeline
My Clementine
Sweet Adeline," I sing as I walk into the hotel and up the stairs. I unlock my door and I walk into my room.

Now that I'm thinking... I did just fall into Tony's life.

I'm screwed.
