Can't Smile Without You...

Chapter Fourteen: SHIELD?

***3rd POV***

They were married on the Winter Solstice, as is tradition for the Fae. It was also the coronation.

The wedding night was something to remember...

***

A year passed...a hammer came down from the sky in Nevada. Everyone was stunned to hear that it was a Norse God...Thor.

Nuada said that he had encountered the Asgardian before and his younger brother, named Loki. "Asgardians have short life spans...only two thousand years," He said. "But they are fierce warriors, whom I respect. They have always been friends to the Fae." He explained.

Weeks passed since the Asgardian returned home...then Christine got a call. "Who is this? I swear, if this is-" A deep voice cut her off.

"This is Nick Fury, Director of SHIELD, your boss, Manning, works for me. I'm setting up a meeting for you to meet a couple of my Agents...we're aware of your special talents, so this meeting is long over due, Miss Broom." Nick said and she was a bit stunned...until he got her name wrong.

"Actually, I'm married. I'm also a Queen of a race of Elves...don't ask. It's complicated, but I suppose I'll be explaining to your agents, sir. When is this meeting by the way? I have royal duties to attend to." Christine groaned, she had been feeling sick all day.

Nuada walked out of the bathroom in a towel, his hair was damp, a soft smile on his face. "Who is it, my love?" He asked, hugging her from behind.

She giggled when he kissed her neck. "The meeting will be as soon as possible. Are you busy at the moment?" Nick asked.

"What- uh...just send your agents whenever. I gotta take care of an eight thousand year old man-child!" She laughed and hung up. Christine growled and turned around pushing his bare chest. Nuada backed up to their bed, closed the curtain, and she grabbed his towel.

He growled and pushed her down on the bed as his towel fell away. "I assure you I am no child..." He growled in her ear before kissing her passionately, climbing on top of her.

Christine giggled and tugged his lower lip lightly. Nuada kissed down her neck and left a dark love bite on her collarbone, earning a few breathy moans from Christine...

Nuada laid over Christine's lap, a blanket lazily covering his more private extremities. Christine had thrown her sports bra and panties back on, Nuada would walk around naked for hours if she didn't tell him to get dressed.

She was braiding a lock of his hair, giggling when he turned his head, kissing her stomach. "Do you think our first child will be a Prince or Princess?" He asked out of the blue.

She laughed. "Nuada, I wouldn't mind either...but a princess would be interesting. Seeing you running around after a little girl, you would absolutely melt." She giggled and ran her fingers through his hair.

There was a knock on their door. "Who the hell?!" She snapped. Nuada laughed at her temper.

"Hey, you're not off the hook, because now you're bringing up babies!" She scolded and got out of bed, grabbing a large football jersey and pulling it over her head as she walked to the large metal door.

There was another knock before she opened the door. She was frozen in place at who she was met with. "Steve...? Steve Rodgers...?" She asked, she was doe eyed.

The tall man in red, white and blue turned to see her and he blushed. "Christine Broom...I though Nick was lying. You haven't aged a day either." He chuckled nervously.

"Yeah, I'm not human...but how the he'll did you survive!? 1945, you died! I jumped out in time, but damn! Steve, what happened!?" She asked frantically. They knew one another back in the day.

"Who is it, my love? One of your old war friends?" Nuada walked out of their bedroom in black leggings.

"Uh...yeah. He's not entirely human, so you shouldn't have an issue." She said over her shoulder. She looked back to Steve, still in disbelief.

"Does your boyfriend have a problem with humans or something?" Steve asked, averting his eyes from staring at Christine's legs.

"I'm her husband." Nuada shook Steve's hand. "Also, I tried destroying the human race with an enchanted army three years ago...so yes, I am not fond of your people." Nuada quickly glared at Steve, his arms crossed.

"I am King Nuada Silverlance Of the Fae...You are addressing my Queen. Show some respect, Captain. I know all about you just by seeing your face...you crave war." Nuada hissed. He then kissed Christine's temple. "I'll be in the training room, my love. If this captain thinks himself a man, he would spar with me...though I'm guessing you and your flamboyant outfit are here on other business." Nuada left, walking down the hallway, shirtless.

"You married that guy?" Steve asked quietly.

"Yeah, he's even older than us." She giggled. "I bet he'd look better in a military uniform than you did." Christine smirked, crossing her arms, checking out her husband as he walked.

A woman with red haired woman in a skin tight black suit came walking down the hallway, she checked out Nuada as he went by. "Who's the ivory wonder?" She asked.

"Her husband...paws off, Nat." Steve chuckled.

"Okay, Steve! I will admit, that is one fine piece of man candy." Natasha smirked.

"He cooks too. Bakes. He can sew...ugh love 'em. Let's get down to business before I swoon." Christine giggled and invited them inside.

Plus, he's got a cute butt...
