Stars and leather jackets

Life. I hate it.

                 "Thalia? Where are you?" That was Steve. Man, Ultron must have hit me harder than I thought. Steve couldn't be here. Only... that was Steve. It was his hands holding my face and him sobbing when he saw me. Maybe I had said something? He let go of me for a minute and I croaked out

               "Stay." 

               "I'm not going anywhere sweetheart." he promised out of my line of vision. I heard the cell door open and I immediately thought Ultron. I quickly scooted into the corner of the cell and tucked into a ball as best as I could to protect myself from Ultron's rage. I felt hands quickly envelop me and I started whimpering as they brushed over my still open wounds. "Thalia, it's me. It's Steve!" How did I know I could trust him? He could be a trick from Ultron. "Thalia I promise I'm not going to hurt you!" 

               "Can't trust." I whispered, more to myself than him. Steve sat back, with a look of anguish on his face and then a smile spread over his face and he moved closer to sit next to me. He took a deep breath and then started talking in one big rush. 

                 "Your name is Thalia Banner. You have a brother named Bruce and your two SO's are Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff. When we first met you threw Tony Stark into a wall with your electric powers. When we captured Clint in the battle of New York, you cried because you were so scared that you had hurt him." I sat up at this one. None of the other stuff he was saying was really important, but only Steve would know what I had said in the jet. 

                 "Steve." I breathed. A big smile overtook his face and he gently pulled me into a hug. 

                "I love you so much Thalia." When he said that, the dam broke and I just became a mess. 

                "I love you too." I sobbed as I curled into him. He picked me up and carried me out of the cell and a few minutes later we were in the jet with the rest of the team shrieking and hugging me. I had just started to catch my breath when I heard a familiar voice scream 

                "Blueberry!" and tackle me. I groaned as I hit the floor with Spark on top of me. She was smiling a mile wide and kept squeezing me in a death grip. Steve finally rescued me from under her and pulled me into his lap as we flew away from Soko- wait a minute. 

              "Where the Hell is Sokovia?!" I exclaimed as I looked out the window and didn't see the city that had once been there. 

             "That was Ultron's fault!" Tony called defensively from the front. 

            "You mean to tell me," I said in a dangerous voice "you fought Ultron, and didn't bother to ask if I wanted to help kick ass?!" 

             "To be fair," Steve started out cautiously "1. We had no idea where you were. 2. You are in no condition to even stand. Let alone kick someone's ass." 

           "That never stopped you." Bucky muttered under his breath. I laughed and then drew up short when I realized someone was missing from the group.

           "Where's Bruce?" Everyone immediately went silent and started staring at either the ceiling or the floor. Steve gently grabbed my hands and softly said 

           "Bruce turned into the Hulk and then ran away. He stole a quinjet and we don't know where he is while he's in stealth mode." My face paled and I tried so hard to hold it together. 

            "Oh, shit." Spark said quietly "She's pissed." I lost it after she said that and it was fairly noticeable. All the lights in the jet short circuited and the autopilot went offline. "Thalia, you need to calm down." Spark barked. She didn't look annoyed. On the contrary, she looked scared. I could understand why after the jet pitched forward and we went into a steep nosedive.

              "I can't stop it!" I shrieked. Everyone was trying to pull up the jet, except for Bucky. He rushed over to my side and was trying to calm me down by asking me questions. 

           "What's your favorite color? Do you have any pets? How many times have you kissed Steve?" (Just for the record the answers are; Black, no, and I'm not answering that) It wasn't working. 

               "I'm sorry." I whispered through my tears. 

             "Spark?" Clint asked hopefully. 

              "We can't overpower each other." she answered miserably "If she's turned off the jet, I can't turn it back on." Everyone got a resigned look on their face when they realized what this meant. Steve ran over to my side and pulled me into a hug. 

           "I love you Steve." I whispered 

             "I love you too Thalia." There was silence and then, a burst of pain as we hit the ground. Finally, there was nothing.
