I'll Find You

Twelve

We sat at the table as Fury informed us on information. We had lost Bruce, and Thor. Luckily we gained Clint and he's working on recovering with Natasha. From what I've heard he's pretty sane.

"So what happened?" Steve asks, as we pack our guns and bags.

"The night at the gala?" I ask and he nods. "Well after Loki shot me with his weapon. I knew my ribs had broke. I knew I was internally bleeding and I knew I wasn't going to  survive if I didn't do anything. I'd been working on the serum and it was a prototype it wasn't finished. I only had one shot." I stopped, "the serum enhances your mind and body, but in those last minutes, I thought about you. And I wanted to live for you so I took the risk and stabbed myself with it. The radiation from Loki's scepter enhanced my willpower to die, so I think I'm......I've become immortal. I feel pain but it goes away. I can remember more, that might have been enhanced because your words were running in the back of my mind."

"If you're immortal...."

"It's a curse Steve, I didn't want to watch everyone I know die. I wasn't in a stable state of mind so it embraced the bad and not the good. I will remain 27 until I can figure out how to kill myself. I'll watch everyone I know die."

"Evelyn..."

"Don't." I said and sniffed a little bit. I couldn't get upset right now.

"I won't let that happen. You're not killing yourself, we'll find a way." He held my hand and I nodded. "I'm sorry, I know you never wanted any of this to happen."

We arrived downtown and spread out amongst the streets we needed to move people to safety and fast. "Tell people to go to the subways now! Everyone needs to get underground!" I yell and people begin moving quickly to get friends and family out. Steve begins talking to cops and they follow his orders quickly. A light shoots off in the sky and a whole begins developing.

"Go to the metro! Now!" I yell. Things begin pouring in and I continue to heard people towards the underground. I shot bullets at the vehicles and the busted into flames as they hit the street and buildings. A flash comes above me and I see Thor land on the Stark tower.

After the 20th chitauri I killed, it all felt slow. Like a slow motion movie, I watched as my friends fought and struggles to continue going. Millions and millions poured from the sky and there was no stopping. I had lost my sense of forgiveness and all I know is death and war.

Bucky and I use to talk about the way war made him feel. And how killing people gets easier and easier when you're the one fighting. It came like a first instinct to me.

"Steve!" I yelled and threw a knife at the chitauri that went to grab him. He nodded and we began getting pushed in closer to each other. "There's to many!" I yelled and fought against them more and more using all the energy I had left.

Steve was tired to, he had fought for his whole life. I punched and kicked at the things. "Prepare to run." I said and threw a grenade down the stack of chitauri bodies we were fighting on. It blew up and we stood up catching our breath. A loud screech came from the sky and in came two giant metal looking centipedes of some kind. "You've got to be kidding me." I said, Steve held my hand.

"Banner nows a really good time to get angry." Steve says and Banner replies.

"I'm always angry."

"Evelyn go to the stark tower, get working on the tesseract." I nod and run off to his tower. I go up and up the steps until I reach his main room. Loki smiles my way and I pull out my sword.

"Don't you just love what I've given you." He says and widens his arms. "I too live for years and years almost....immortality."

"To bad you're going to rot in a cage your whole life." I say and he gets closer. He places his hand on my waist and I press the sword against his throat as he presses his spear onto my heart.

"The tesseract created me." I said, and kicked him back. "What makes you so sure, you can control me." I say and we get into a fight. I block his hit with my sword and vice versa. He smacks my head and I fall on my stomach. When I turn around he places his spear on against my neck and sits on me so I can't move. My head hangs over the ledge and I try to kick my legs high enough to get loose.

"It's a shame really, I could have used you by my side." He says, and I do a back flip over the edge we both begin falling from the building and I punch him in the face. He falls back farther down than me and I struggle to reach him.

I feel hands grab onto me and then I hit the concrete but not as hard. I roll out of the persons grasp and they lay there gasping for air. "Steve." I yell and run up to him. He was sweaty and over heating. I pulled off his mask and put my hand gently on his cheek. The cold touch of my hand went into his skin and my hand began to turn a light blue. What was happening.

"The hand Loki held." I said to myself, it gave me part of him. Because I was cold. Oh god. I let go and Steve opened his eyes.

"I got the nuke and I know just where to put it." Tony says through the head piece.

"Tony no!" I say, but he already went into the air. I stood up and so did Steve.

"We have to close it!" Natasha yells,

"Wait!" I yell, come back tony. I lean into cap. I couldn't watch. I heard the explosion and Cap told them to close it. It was silent and I knew they had to be closing it.

"That's Stark!" Cap yells and grabs my hand as we run. "He's falling to fast, catch him." We watch as Bruce grabs Tony and they fall to the ground. We reach where Tony fell and he opens his eyes and smiles.

"What happened? Please tell me nobody kissed me?"

"We won." Steve says and pats him on the shoulder.
