The JackDaw's Nest (Captain America, Avengers & Spiderman Fan Fiction)

Chapter 16 - The End?

Jez was too scared to open both of her eyes so she opened one. She saw Steve smiling at her and instantly began to cry. She was dead and was in heaven with Steve.

“Steve,” she said and leaped into his arms wrapping her arms and legs around him tight. “I missed you so much. I’m so sorry that you died for me but now we’re both dead and we can be together forever. Peter and Harry are going to freak out but I don’t care about anything because I love you so much Steve Rogers and I’m never ever letting you go ever again. Not even Jesus can separate us now! I wonder if they’ll give us a joint funeral. I’m sorry I didn’t bury you yet by the way. I’ve had stuff going on.”

Steve laughed. His laugh was light on Jezebel’s ears and made her body tingle. She smashed her lips against Steve’s and just cried.

“Jez,” Steve said pulling her away from his chest so that he could see her face. “You’re not dead Jez. I’m alive.”

Jez didn’t understand what he was saying for a moment. She looked around and realised that she was still in her mother’s bedroom. The JackDaw was lying dead on the floor and Steve had a gun in his hand. The bang had been from Steve killing the JackDaw. Steve was alive!

“This is amazing!” Jez exclaimed and her legs gave away. She dragged Steve to the floor with her and just sat in silence with him as he kissed her all over her body.

Peter and Tony burst through the door to find them just sitting there. Tony pried the staff from the JackDaw’s dead hands.

“Nice surprise, huh?” Peter said kneeling beside the reunited couple. “I almost died when he burst into the dance looking for you. So did a lot of other students as you could probably guess.”

“You’re both okay,” Jez said and wrapped one of her arms around Peter’s neck while still holding Steve with the other. “He said that he was having you both killed.”

Peter and Steve shared a look and then laughed.

“What?” Jez asked. Steve decided to explain.

“Well we were nearly killed a lot of times on our way here,” Steve said. “And we might just have to get a new apartment because our old one was blown up.”

“Blown up?” Jez asked with her jaw hitting the floor. She thought of Harry who she had left behind in the apartment.

“Was Harry still in there?” Jez asked concerned. She pulled out her phone to call him.

“Jez Harry’s fine,” Peter assured. “He was with us at the dance. He came back after dropping you. Now he’s with MJ.” Jez sighed in relief and Steve raised an eyebrow.

“Harry as in your friend Harry Osborne?” Steve asked. Jez and Peter looked away from Steve’s face.

“You missed a lot,” Jez said standing up. “But right now I think it’s time to go home.”

Jez, Steve, Peter, Harry and Nick all sat in a room in the S.H.I.E.L.D helicarrier. There was complete silence as Harry and Steve absorbed everything they were told.

“So we’re over now because Steve is alive?” Harry asked. Jez couldn’t look him in the eyes but nodded slowly. She hated herself right then but realistically they wouldn’t last.

“Harry you have to understand that Steve is the only real relationship I can have because of my powers,” Jez said.

Steve seemed calmer than Jez had expected him to be. He didn’t even get angry.

“So if you did age you’d choose me?” Harry asked angrily.

“I’m not saying that Harry!” Jez yelled. “Don’t be like that. We can still be friends. Everything can go back to the way it used to be.”

“I don’t want to go back!” Harry yelled and stood up. “I told you I love you and now this?”

Jez swallowed back her anger and tears that she could feel swelling up inside of her.

“Harry that’s too far,” Peter said. “You were barely dating for a day!” Jez closed her eyes and groaned. Complicated anyone?

“We can clear your memory if you’d like,” Fury suggested from a corner. Everyone gave him a weird look before turning back to Harry.

Steve stood and walked over to Harry. This set off all kinds of alarms in Jezebel’s body. She wanted to listen in but if Steve wanted her to hear he would have just said it out loud so Jez covered her ears and looked at Peter.

“We’re done,” Steve said taking Jezebel’s hands and moving them from her ears. Harry didn’t seem as angry now but he still wasn’t happy.

“I’ll wait,” Harry whispered knowing that Jez would hear. He stomped to the door and left. Peter followed him and Fury left Jez and Steve alone.

“I know what you must think of me now,” Jez said sitting on the table. Steve shook his head hard sending his hair flying.

“I’d never think that,” Steve said. “Unlike him I understand completely. If the roles had been reversed I’d have been the exact same. You have to stop caring about what others are going to think of you Jez. Life is easier that way. The only person whose opinion actually matters is yours.”

Jez nodded and took Steve in her arms. He was the perfect man and no one could change that. No one could waver the love they had for each other, not even Death. Love is the greatest superpower of all and Jez and Steve had plenty of it to share.

Three months later . . .

Jez stretched in her new bed in her new apartment. She made the noises that she always did when she stretched and Steve laughed. He thought the noises were adorable. Jez rolled into his arms and cuddled up close. Steve kissed her nose and Jez giggled. She was so happy and everything was back to normal. Harry had vanished after the helicarrier incident but the people at OSCORP assured that he was just holidaying abroad.

Peter, Jez and MJ carried on like normal and Captain America and BlueJay continued their jobs. Jez couldn’t have been happier and neither could Steve.

“Did I tell you that I love you?” Jez asked drawing shapes on Steve’s chest with her finger. She traced a big heart and Steve smiled.

“About a million times a day since I woke up!” Steve joked and pulled Jez on to his stomach.

“I love you too Jezebel Fury,” he said. “That’s why I want you to marry me.”

Jez laughed but realised that Steve wasn’t joking. She stopped abruptly and stared at Steve in disbelief.

“Really?” she asked. Steve nodded and opened up his bedside locker. He pulled out a little blue box and opened it. Inside was the most beautiful engagement ring that Jez had ever seen.

“Jez will you marry me?” Steve asked and Jez screamed.

“Of course I’ll marry you!” she said through her sobs of joy. Steve slipped the ring onto her finger. “Oh Steve it’s beautiful. You’re beautiful! I love you Steve Rogers.”

“I love you too Jezebel Fury.”
