Who's the Real Monster (Avengers Fanfiction)

Steve's Decision

It took Steve almost a month and a half to make his decision.

"Do you really think you're going to be able to find him?" Steve asked as I checked over the cameras of the large eagle.

It was big and strong enough to carry one of Tony's suits.

I nodded, "I would need to find his scent, which will take a while, but I believe I can do it. Do you have any leads?"

Steve took out a newspaper clipping from a few days ago, it was in a different language.

"A man was seen dragging three people out of a fire. One of them swears he held a four hundred pound beam over his head to let two others escape," Steve explained.

I looked at the picture of a flaming building with billowing smoke coming from it.

"Where is it?" I asked, turning off the Stark phone and checked over Thorondor's disguise of feathers.

"Near Drica," Steve said, putting down the report.

I froze, "Do you think-?"

Steve finished my sentence, "That he was looking for you?"

I nodded, "They kept me at the same base the entire time I was there..." I told him.

Tony butted into the conversation from across the room, "So he's looking for you? Why?"

I thought for a moment, I was confused until-of course. "He's looking for a pack mate, we aren't meant to be alone," I told them standing up.

CAT chirped as he landed on my shoulder, Thorondor lifted his head.

"When are you planning on heading out?"

I ran a hand through my hair, "I'm heading out now. Thorondor can fly me there, CAT is coming with me. I'll have to go radio silent though,".

Steve glanced at the robotic eagle, "Isn't he a little... obvious?"

I looked at him and as if on command, he switched over to disguised form.

Thorondor shrank, folding in on himself to form a regular sized eagle. "You were saying?" I asked Steve leaning against my table with a smile.

"Steve looked confused, "Why will you have to go radio silent?"

I looked back at him, "It'll be easier for him to trust me, and I won't be rushed that way,".

He looked slightly crestfallen.

"I'll be back before you know it," I told them, giving each of them a hug before walking to the door with my robotic creatures with me.

When I got to the roof, I moved CAT inside Thorondor's storage compartment while I shifted.

I stretched my legs before walking over to Thorondor.

I heard the door open behind me, I turned my head. It was Natasha.

I turned around and padded over to her.

She kneeled down, "Be careful Sam, don't underestimate him,".

I nodded my head, she pet my head and stood.

I walked over to Thorondor and nodded. Thorondor hopped off the building and soared into the air.

He turned and flew over the roof, picking me up as he did so.
