(MCU) Ashen

Captain America

Clara had calmed down. She was already in her bed falling asleep. For the rest of the night she slept well. That was until she heard her dog scratch and open her door. Clara led out a large groan. It was already morning. She woke up and took a bath. While she was showering she recalled the moments of last night. She wished it lasted forever. She didn't want her friends to die, but some would. She finished to bath and went to her room. She dresed up and came down stairs. Her breakfast was ready.

"Good morning darling, how did you sleep?"

"Good mom, and you?"

"I couldn't sleep well, I was thinking that you haven't studied much." Her mom said worringly.

Clara didn't know if she could get mad at her or not. She cared for her, but it was almost everyday her mother was reminding her her duties and she was so stressed about that. Clara was trying to hide her feelings, she didn't want to hurt her mother more, she didn't want to hurt anyone more.

When she finished eating she started her project. It was so boring. At least she had all day.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Night came and Clara had to study. All day making the project-she thought-and now I have to study. Clara just read the papers, she didn't bother to study, she was so tired. She had dinner and went straight to bed. She would study tomorrow morning. This exams were getting the madness out of her.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clara woke up at 3am. She couldn't sleep. She saw the mission in her hand

Help Steve Rogers save the kid at the incident

That was the mission she had when she was taking coffee with Bucky and Steve. She decided to go now and try it. So she teleported with blue magic.

She got to the lab and surprinsingly Mr. C was there. He was drinking a cup of tea and almost dropped it down when he saw Clara appear

"Sorry" Clara apologized. "I couldn't sleep either, she continued. "I'm going to the marvel universe" She said

"Go ahead"

"I'm sorry to ask, but are you okay?" Clara said before going

"Yeah, just had a bad day, you know"

"Everything is going to be alright Dr. C, we all have bad days" Clara tried to encouraged.

Dr. C noded and Clara headed straight to the Vibranium room. She started to draw a black and white star in the air and walked through the interdimensional portal.

What she first noticed was that she was invisible. At least she didn't bump to the concrete floor. She culdn't turn back to normal. Her powers restrained her and her neck ached if she tried to convert back to normal. She was choking because of the necklace, so she decided just to go with the powers she had.

Today was the day Steve was going to convert to supersoldier. Clara entered the Brooklyn Antique's store just tresspassing the walls with help of her yellow magic. She was still invisible.

"Clara?" Peggy said. She could see her!

"Peggy!" Clara said and hugged her. " Apparently I'm invisible, I think you are the only one that can see me. "

"It's ok, come, Steve is just about to enter the machine" Peggy said, not really worring about Clara's status, since it wasn't a big deal.

Clara saw everything, she was pretty amused to see everything in real life, since she had only see it in the movie before. When Steve came out of the machine she was very happy. She wanted to hug him, told him he was very brave, but she couldn't. She had seen for the first time Captain America in front of her eyes. Then there was an explosion from above. She ran fast towards Howard and saved him from hitting the floor, where there were glass pieces that could cut him. She had forgotten that there was going to be an explosion.

"Thanks" Howard said. Clara noticed now she was in her combat outfit, not invisible. She turned on purpose invisible again.

"Your welcome". Saying this, she let Howard alone and ran behind Steve. Gosh he was so fast. Instead of following him, she teleported in a cloud of blue dust near where the enemy's submarine was. she materialized some string and tied it to a pole and to a box to the other side. She repeted this with another pole and box . She started running toward the gate. Suddenly she felt a pressure and was sticked to the wall. She turned visible.

"oh no" she said. She hated so much how her powers were restricted in the marvel universe. She was near where the kid was going to be dropped.

The bad guy came running pointing the gun to the kid's head. Then she saw Steve. The bad guy aimed at him. Seing Steve distracted, the bad guy threw the kid in the water and kept running, till he fell with Clara's trap

Steve was going to save the kid when he said he could swim. Then Steve noticed Clara

"Clara?" Seve said trying to help

"Go go, I can manage. Be careful, don't fall with the traps too." Clara said urging Steve to go

As soon as Steve was gone, Clara was freed by the trap of the wall.

"Great" she said sarcastically. She changed to a random dress of the time. She runned to the kid that was getting near the border.

"Kid, oh gosh, I'll help you" Clara said, trying to sound like a lady from the time.

"Thank you miss" The Kid said when he was already up.

Clara touched his head and with her white energy she placed some sort of spell in order for the kid not to get sick from the water. The kid didn't noticed this.

"I think you should get to your mother, she might be worried." Clara said to the boy

"Yeah miss. Thank you very much" The kid said, running to the gate, where her mother awaited.

As soon as the kid was out of sight, Clara runned to Steve that was taking a glance at his own arms. While she ran, she casted purple smoke to the floor, that desintegrated the string.

She approached Steve. The bad guy was dead on the floor. Clara said next

"Steve, are you okay?"

"Yeah... I think-" Steve didn't finish when Clara embraced him in a hug. At first Steve didn't respond so Clara was going to pull away, when Steve hugged her back. His body was warm and she didn't want this to end. She felt protected in his arms.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help. It's my powers, they wouldn't let me"

"Uhm-It's okay. It wasn't your fault." Steve said comprehending.

They pulled away from the hug.

"I think I have to return now" Steve said.

"Okay. See you later"

"See ya." But before Steve went away he added " Thank you Clara" And with that he went away. The last phrase melted Clara's heart. After all she was a fan.

Steve was already gone. Clara felt something on her palm. Third mission. Before she read it she went back to the familiar rooftop where she had falled when opening the portal. Then she opened her palm to se black ink filling letters on her left hand

-Help Steve Rogers save James Buchanan Barnes from the base at HYDRA

"Finally, time for the action to come" Clara said with a smirk. And that was the last thing she said before entering her star portal.
