The Enemy [1]

35: Love is Odd

Steve's P.O.V

I felt this stinging pain in my head and arm. It hurt so bad. I opened my eyes to see I was laying on a bed. A hospital bed. I tried to get up but something was holding me down. I looked to see handcuffs on one hand and the other part was attached to the bed railing. I didn't remember anything from after Loki used his scepter on me. I rubbed my free hand down my face tiredly. My head hurt so bad. "Steve?" asked a voice. I looked up to see Natasha walking toward me.
"It hurts" I said, "now I know how Clint felt."
"Glad that your back" Nat said taking off my cuffs.
"How many-"
"Don't do that Steve. You didn't kill anyone. Only one was left injured" she said.
"Who?" I asked.
"Jade" she said making me stand up quickly.
"Is she okay?" I asked.
"She's fine. She doesn't blame you. She blames her dad and Adam. None of it was your fault" Nat said.
"What happened?" I asked sitting back down and felt the bandages that were wrapped around my forearm.
"Blood loss" Nat said, "you stabbed her in the calf."
"Why does my arm hurt?" I asked.
"She popped it out of its socket" she answered simply, "me and Emma had to put it back into place."
"Can I see Jade?" I asked.
"Sure. She actually told me to tell her when you wake up" Nat said as we both walked out of the room down the hallway. I was Johnny standing there with his back against the wall.
"You could've killed her, Cap" Johnny said making me stop in my tracks, "you don't deserve her."
"Oh really? Who deserves her then?" I asked.
"Me. Of course. I never tried to kill her" he said simply. Before I could respond Nat interrupted.
"He wasn't in control of his actions so why don't you go pout in a corner" Nat growled and pulled me along. Johnny huffed in annoyance before walking away.
"Thanks" I said.
"I ship Captain Raven" Nat said as she pushed the button for the elevator.

Jade's P.O.V
"Are you gonna be okay?" asked Matt as Emma folded my suit and put my weapons away.
"Yes! I'll be fine" I said reaching for my crutches and getting out of the bed, "I'm not a little kid anymore."
"In our eyes you are" Emma said closing the dresser drawer. I rolled my eyes at the two siblings. Matt couldn't help but laugh.
"Whatever" I said getting up out of the bed and using the crutches to get to the door. I opened the door and there stood Steve. I smiled at him before Emma and Matt left the room leaving me and Steve to talk. I sat on the bed beside him.
"How you feeling?" He asked.
"Good. You?" I asked.
"Sore" he said. I stared into his blue eyes before a small smile crept up onto my face.
"You know I love you, right?" I asked placing my hand on his cheek. Instead of responding he leaned into my hand. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. I rubbed his cheek with my thumb, "I'm gonna need an answer, Steve."
"I love you" he whispered.
"I love you too" I said removing my hand and leaning into him. My life was so messed up. I was in love with a superhero. I use to be his enemy. I accidentally killed my best friend. I thought that my mother was dead. I have a sociopathic father. My Uncle is the god of thunder. My neighbor was my enemy. I looked up at Steve and kissed his cheek.
"Our love is odd" I said, "and crazy."
