Caitlyn

BEARer of Bad News

It's April 4th, HAPPY BIRTHDAY RDJ!!!

I wake up in the middle of the night to hear groans followed by coughing. I rub my eyes and run over to the bathroom. "Steve!" I touch his back as he gags more. Then I see blood. "Steve, hold on I'm getting help!" I run over to the phone and call Natasha. "Natasha! Come over quick! Steve is puking blood and I need help!"

"I'll be right over!" Natasha says before hanging up the phone. I go back to the bathroom.

"Cait...I'm fine," Steve says.

"No you're not! You're caughing up blood!"

Natasha bursts into the apartment. "I'm here! Where are you?"

"Bathroom!" I yell. She runs over and grabs Steve.
                          *Transition*
I was sitting next to Steve as he layed sleeping in the hospital bed. "I'm sorry," I say as I hold his hand.

"It's not your fault Cait, the doctor still isn't sure what's wrong with him," Natasha said. A few tears roll down my cheeks as the doctor walks in.

"We'll give him some oxygen so his breathing pattern is back to normal," she says holding an oxygen tank. Natasha and I nod as she walks over and puts the breathing mask on him. She gives him some oxygen as he regains consciousness. "There we go. I'll be back in a few to check on you guys." The doctor takes the mask off of Steve and lugs the tank out of the room.

"Hey Steve," I say looking at him. He blinks his eyes a few times and scrunches his noses. "How ya feeling?" He points to a chair where is jacket layed.

"F-for y-you," he says. I looked confused and then I saw a teddy bear. I walk over to the chair and grab the bear. I turn around to face him.

"Me?" He nods. I look at its old black eyes and feel it's soft brown fur. It looks old and new at the same time. I touch the little patches on it's paws and stomach. I look back at Steve. He smiles and I smile back. I could tell by his look that he was saying I love you. I said it back. The doctor walks in again.

"It's time for Mr. Rogers to get some rest," she says. Natasha nods as I look back at Steve closing his eyes. We walk out and head back to my apartment.

"I have to go, I'll check on you in the morning," Natasha says dropping me off at my place.

"Okay...bye." I open the door as she drives off. I lay in my bed with the teddy bear in my arms.

The next day...
Hey Cait it's Natasha...how's it going?

Good

Do you know how Steve is doing.

I'm not sure Cait
I have to go...mission stuff

Okay bye

Bye.

I get dressed, eat breakfast and brush my teeth. I hold the stuffed bear in my hands, it's head flops forward. I sigh and sit in the couch.

At headquarters...
"Is everything alright with Steve and Lady Caitlyn?" Thor asks Natasha.

"Yeah, Steve's in the hospital and Caitlyn is taking it sorta well. He gave her an old teddy bear too." Thor's face drops and looks worried. He knew what it's like to lose someone he truly loves. He knows how it feels to see your parent or anyone you love die right infront of him.

"I have to go," Thor starts running to the elevator.

"Wait, Thor. What are you doing?" Natasha tries to ask as the elevator doors close.

Thor looks down at his feet as the elevator opens again, but on the first floor. "Do you know where Lady Caitlyn is?" Thor asks Clint.

"No, you can ask your brother though." Clint runs off. Thor runs over to Loki's chamber.

"You must be truly despreat to come to me, brother" Loki says as he gets up off the ground and stands up.

"Brother!! Where is Lady Caitlyn?" Thor pounds the glass. Loki looks confused. He doesn't answer. "WHERE IS SHE?" Thor is screaming now and is furious.

"I don't know, why are you pestering me with this question?" Loki is actually worried about Caitlyn. He feels a pit in his heart...you just have to dig deep, deep, deep, DEEEEEEP down to find it.

"Nevermind," Thor runs out of the building. "Banner!" Thor finds Bruce at the heliport.

"Y-yes?"

"Do you know where Lady Caitlyn is?"

"Gee, I don't really know," Bruce responds while fiddling with his fingers. "I would say that she's at Steve's place."

"Can you give me the address?" Bruce gives Thor the address and Fury lets him barrow his car.

Thor gets to the apartment and knocks on the door. "Who is it?"

"Lady Caitlyn, it's Thor," Thor says with a handfull of chocolates, flowers and a card (he made a stop at CVS before he got there).

"Okay," she says.

>>>CAIT'S POV<<<
I open the door. "Hey, Thor."

"I have brought you some gifts to make you feel better." He hands me the card, chocolates and flowers. "May I come in?"

"Sure." I open the door wider so he can come in. "You can sit on the couch," I say putting the flowers in a vase and placing them on the table. I sit on the couch with Thor as he turns on the TV.

"I know how it feels."

"What?"

"Seeing the person you love the most suffer."

"How?" I start to tear up.

"Loki, he killed my mother." I look at him in shock.

"I-I'm so sorry."

"It's alright, it was in the past but she is still in my soul." *awkward scilence*

"Would you like to watch a movie?" I ask breaking the ice. He nods. We search through Netflix and found a movie we both liked...Thor. I popped the popcorn and we watched the movie. I was truley happy that night.
