Becoming An Avenger - [Steve Rogers] (COMPLETED)

Chapter 3: He Finds Out

After a couple of songs I turn to Steve and ask him a question. "How come you were watching me?" I say, out of curiosity. "You are a strong woman Evelyn. I was just seeing how good you were. Sorry if it looked a bit stalkerish." He says, chuckling.

     "Oh, well thanks. I train like everyday." I say, confidently. "Me too. But I guess I really can't say much about that." He says. I laugh at him. "Ya, guess not." I agree. As I start to punch the bag again I see Steve staring at me once again. This time I don't fall. "Steve! Would you cut it out!" I say, turning to him. He laughs. I roll my eyes, smiling.

    Later on during the day, my phone buzzes and the song stops. I stop what I'm doing and jog over to the phone. As I pick it up from my bag I hear my ringtone, 'ring ring ring RING!!!!' It says. I love my ringtone... When I swipe at the screen Chris's profile picture shows up. I decide to answer it just to get it over with. "Hello?" I say, quietly. "You darn girl! Get back here now!!!" He yells.

      I pull it away from my ear. Ringing sounds vibrate through my ear. Too loud... He didn't remember me asking to go somewhere. Stupid. "Oh, babe. I'm only at work. Don't worry about me. I'll be back in a jiffy." I say. "You will be back by ten! No later!" He yells, hanging up. I put my phone back in my bag and look up.

     Steve stands in front of me with a shocked face. "Sorry 'bout that." I say, blushing a light shade of pink. Hopefully not noticeable. "Who was that?" He says. I look down. "myboyfriend." I whisper. "Who?" Steve asks, less harsh. "My...um boyfriend." I say, looking down again. "He doesn't seem very nice. Why do you still stay with him?" He asks.

      "I've got nowhere to go really. I've been looking for a job but I haven't got anything so far." I say. Steve touches my arm sympathetically. I smile sadly. "Has he hurt you?" He asks. I just nod, a tear silently falls. I've never cried about this before. Maybe I'm just to overwhelmed and...maybe it's Steve being there for me.  

    Steve notices my tears and gently strokes my cheek. I feel slight butterflies in my stomach. "I could find you a job." He says softly. "Really?" I ask, looking up hopefully. "Yeah, you could be an avenger." He says. Holy cheese puffs! I never thought of that! Me being an avenger...I'm gonna faint. And I do. I fall right into the arms of Steve Rogers. I might get a chance to be an avenger. That's when my mind goes blank.
