Rose Princess *Captain America love story*

Chase me

Chapter 12 - Chase me:

  The three siblings exited the coffee shop with a smirk on their faces. Ingrid and Rodric decided to walk down the road together, their Docs leaving footprints in the snow. Ivar decided on another route through the center of the town, because he needed a few parts for his computer at home. They bid each other goodbye and went their separate ways.

  Rodric spotted Natasha as she headed after Ivar and chuckled. This was too intriguing for him.

  The freshly fallen snow glittered as they passed the many shops and houses. The two siblings would occasionally holler a 'hello' to the shop keepers or house owners. Soon they felt a presence behind them and Ingrid sighed in relief when it was only Barton. 

  "Want something to eat?" Rodric asked, as they glided on the icey road.

  "Nah." Ingrid shrugged and kept glancing back at Barton.

  "You know, he's doing a poor job at this..."

  "Well look at the bright side, while we were occupied by him... A man in tights and cape is standing before us with a dude in a robot suit." Ingrid said, staring at the red skinned man.

  "They're good." Rodric said. "You go left, I go right?"

  "I'd rather take the woods." Ingrid shrugged and glided to the edge of the forest. "See you home in 20?"

  "Wouldn't have it any other way." Rodric winked and turned left into another street.

  "You coming or what?" Ingrid challenged the men.

  "I'll go." The robot said.

  "Wait! You don't want to get on her bad side." Barton warned, making Ingrid smirk.

  "Oh come on Clint, I'm a girl." Ingrid whined, taking off her beanie and glasses. "I'm practically harmless."

  "Last time I checked, you shot thorns out your body."

  Ingrid shrugged and entered the forest. The man in the suit went after her and so did Hawkeye and Vision.

  "Miss Ingrid, you should give yourself up peacefully." Vision said.

  "You know Jarvis, I liked you better as a computer program." Ingrid huffed.

  "How do you...?"

  "I am known to hack Shield's database daily. I get bored a lot lately."

  Ingrid looked at her phone and smiled. She had exactly 15 minutes to get home, without them following.

  "This talk was nice and all, but if you don't mind I have to go now." Ingrid smiled wickedly. "Bye bye."

  She quickly disappeared in a gush of rose petals leaving the men without a trace to find her. She sighed and landed gracefully on the ground, far away from Barton.

  "You still land gracefully as ever." A voice startled Ingrid. "You changed your hair? Why?"

  Ingrid abruptly turned to look at the one man she avoided this whole day.

  "I needed a change in my life." She answered.

  "But why would you cut that beautiful hair?"

  "So you wouldn't recognize me."

  Steve chuckled and walked over to the girl, slightly brushing his fingers on her cheek. He brought his face closer to Ingrid's, their lips just a hair length apart.

  "Just because you can show me my biggest desire, does not mean I will succumb to it." Ingrid whispered into the brunette's hair.

  Behind a tree, a few feet away, a brunette was hiding, her hand emitting a red energy. Ingrid stood next to her, her voice only a whisper. The Ingrid that stood before Steve, disintegrated into a million rose petals. The real one standing firmly next to the brunette, who was being enveloped by vines that resembled chains.

  "I know your watching Fury and I hope your enjoying yourself." Ingrid smiled, her eyes becoming more deep and deadly by the minute. "Pack your bags and leave. If we cross paths, I will take care of the other eye."

  In the distance Ingrid heard a machine and thunder. In that moment Ingrid jumped into the air to evade a beam.

  "Well the nickname Lavender has no meaning anymore." Tony said.

  "You hurt my feelings with those words now, tin man." Ingrid's sarcasm seeped through like poison.

  "Lady Ingrid, are you alright?" Thor seemed worried and for once Ingrid got confused.

  "Except for the fact that the brunette played with my head, I'm perfectly fine."

  'Ingrid, get them out of the forest.'

  'Balder?'

  'Listen to me sis, get them out of here before they trace Ivar or Rodric back.'

  'But they can already predict my landing spot...'

  'Don't worry about that. Alec will take care of that.'

  'Alright. Give me a few minutes to get them to chase me.'

  Ingrid locked eyes with Iron Man's suit and challenged Tony.

  "Well then tin man, you want me to show you where I live?"

  "I don't want to because Capsicle will beat me half dead, but Fury would love it." Tony answered.

  "Keep Steve on a leash and away from me..." Ingrid whispered and tightened her hold on the brunette.

  "Why?" Tony obviously heard.

  "Because he is the only one who can make her show us." Thor said, his voice a mere whisper.

  Ingrid smiled, her eyes sad. She didn't even get that Thor was whispering and not yelling! With a deep intake of breath she let the brunette go and cleared her throat. In an instant Ingrid took off her old coat that looked like it belonged to a homeless person and shivered a bit at the loss of warmth.

  "You want to find out where I live, chase me and I might give it away." She winked and darted away.

  With the help of her roses, Ingrid used them to make clones of herself and split them apart. Thor went after the real Ingrid while the rest got the clones. Ingrid groaned and picked up her pace.

  She would need a lot of brain power to get away from this god.

  "Ivar, you have quite the lovely lady following you around." The shop keeper of the computer store where Ivar was currently at said.

  "I know, but she's to shy to admit it." Ivar winked and thanked the shop keeper and left the store.

  Natasha followed after him, until he came across his brother without their sister.

  "Let me guess, Balder told her to get them out the forest." Ivar said, joining Rodric.

  "Yeah, but I'm still worried." Rodric said. "Why isn't the girl following us anymore?"

  "Because she has back up." Ivar said and pointed in front of him. "He looks familiar..."

  A man in a pair of jeans and jacket stood by the lamp post, his baseball cap shielding his eyes. The two brothers eyes landed on his neck, where a silver chain glittered with a ring of some sort as the medallion. When they took a better look, it was a silver leaf ring that had the ancient rune of love carved on the inside.

  "Steve Rodgers." Both brothers deadpanned.

  This is so going to get complicated.
