Tsunami (Avengers Fanfic)

Chapter 10

*DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything but Arabella* {This is the beginning of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.}

Steve ended up talking Bella into visiting him in D.C. She needed a break from the school so she ended up agreeing. She had also started picking up his early rising every since the Chitauri attack. So with her getting up earlier during her visit, Steve finally convinced her to running with him. She surprised herself by actually having fun, considering she avoids running as much as possible and is only going a bit slower than Steve, by passing a guy who complains every time she does. "On your left." She hears Steve say to the man. She giggled a little breathlessly before stopping for the day. She ends up hearing Steve say the same thing to the same man about two more times before the guy stops close to her and sits by a tree to catch his breath. Steve finally stops his running close to the guy. Bella walks over to them smiling to Steve. Steve smiles back to her before turning to the guy. "Need a medic?" Steve asked him.

"I need a new pair of lungs. Dude, you just ran like thirteen miles in thirty minuets." The guy said pointing to Steve before turning to Bella. "And you did like eight."

"I guess we got a late start." Bella said smiling slightly

"Oh, really. You should be ashamed of yourself. You should take another lap." He pauses for a minuet. "Did you just take it? I assumed you just took it."

"What unit are you with?" Steve asked him.

"Fifty-eighth, Para-rescue. But now I'm working down at the VA. Sam Wilson." The newly introduced Sam said.

Steve gives Sam a hand so he can get up. "Steve Rogers"

"I kind of put that together. Who are you?" Sam said aiming the question towards Bella.

"Arabella Rose. I go by Bella though." Bella said after the question.

"It's nice to meet you." Sam said to Bella. Bella smiled in turn.

Sam turned towards Steve. "Must have freaked you out coming home after the whole defrosting thing." Sam said.

"It takes some getting used to." Steve said slightly smiling towards Bella, who returned it. "It's good to meet you, Sam." Steve says as they turn to leave.

"It's your bed, right?" Sam suddenly said.

"What's that?" Steve asked turning back around.

"You're bed, it's too soft. When I was over there I sleep on the ground and used rock for pillows, like a caveman. Now I'm home, lying in my bed, and it's like." Sam slightly trails off looking for the right word.

"Lying on a marshmallow. feels like your sinking right to the floor." Bella suggests. Both of the guys look at her. "What? I know sort of what it feels like. You learn stuff on the streets." Both of them nod and slightly look away.

"How long?" Steve asks Sam.

"Two tours. You must miss the good old days, huh?" Sam says in reply.

"Well, things aren't so bad. Food's a lot better, we used to boil everything. No polio is good. Internet, so helpful. I've been reading that a lot trying to catch up." Steve said giving a quick glance towards Bella who didn't see the look.

"Marvin Gaye, 1972, 'Trouble Man' soundtrack. Everything you've missed jammed into one album." Sam suggested to him.

"I'll put it on the list." Steve says pulling out his list. Bella gives a small laugh at the notebook she gave him when his list got too extensive for either one of them to remember. Just before she could comment on the notebook she was interrupted by Steve and her phones. 'Mission alert. Extraction imminent. Meet at the curb :).' said the text.
