STEVE WAS SITTING DOWN ON HIS COUCH WAITING FOR MEARA TO STEP OUT OF HIS BATHROOM. He was so confused, everything was perfectly fine at the beginning of the night and now it was uncomfortable. After their conversation on the rooftop, he could see she was uneasy, and that made him even more uncomfortable.
Her smiles were now not pure of happiness and love as they were in the beginning of the night. Now he could see clear as day, something hidden behind them. It was like a completely different person had entered her body. He could see a twinkle in her eye every time she talked, but it was not one of happiness.
A twinkle of evil, now she was anything but that. And he knew that, or did he? He was so conflicted, he felt something inside him telling him to run to the door and leave the room. But he couldn't do that, it was probably his paranoia from his missions saving the world.
From what he knew she was just a twenty eight year old nurse from Kansas on vacation with her boyfriend, who treated her awfully. She believed that the meaning of life was love and fulfilling your purpose on earth. He knew that she hated nosy people and loved romantic comedies. She didn't have a bad bone in her body, quite literally as he had caressed her body earlier.
He felt the bathroom door open and close, he saw her figure stepping out of it and sitting next to him. She was now wearing the red dress from earlier, and wore a sad expression on her face.
"Are you really going to leave tomorrow?" She asked him, not looking at him just staring straight ahead. He furrowed his eyebrows but nodded giving her a small 'yes'. "Do you believe in love?" She asked him, now turning to look at him.
"Yes I do." He said, he was confused at to where this was all coming from.
"Do you love me?" She asked him, with a small sad smile.
"I just met you tonight." He told her, that eerie feeling came back.
"Then stay." She told him grabbing his hands in hers, with a hopeful look. He shook her hands off. "Stay, for a few more days until I leave. Maybe we can find love in each other." She told him.
"I can't do that, I have a life back home and I can't stay here for much longer." He told her.
Meara leaned forward and placed her elbows on her thighs, covering her face with her hands. Steve placed a hand on her back in comfort.
"I just want to be loved, I want to find someone who will treat me right. And I thought that maybe it would've been you." She spoke, still in the same position as before.
"I'm sorry." He told her, a dark chuckle came out of Meara.
His skin crawl, this time he decided to obey that feeling of being in danger; he stood up and started to walk to the door, his eyes not leaving her figure. He turned around to open the door quickly turning back around to face her, he saw she was standing behind him. He let the door close and turned towards her.
Meara gave him a sad smile. "No, I'm sorry."
"What?" Steve asked confused.
Meara leaned in and gave him a kiss, Steve tried to get away from her, but something was stopping him. When the kiss ended, she leaned back and gave him an evil smirk, Steve started coughing. He tried clawing at his throat as it felt like something was in it.
His back hit the door and he started to sink onto the floor. Meara stood over him laughing, the dark laugh coming back. He looked at her confused, as Steve started coughing more violently. He could feel something making his way out of his throat and soon blood came out of it spilling to the floor.
"I really thought you were the one, who would finally love me and stay." She told him, she kneeled down in front of him and grabbed his chin in her hands. She gave him a sweetly sick smile. "I'm going to have so much fun with you." She told him, her fingertips caressing his cheek.
Then a wave of tiredness hit Steve, he was starting to struggle to keep his eyes open. Meara started to shush him, singing a song in a small tone. Steve gave into closing his eyes. He felt her lay him on the floor before everything went black.
