A Cold Winter Eve

Chapter 3

"Steve. Who is she?" The girl is mumbling in her fitful sleep. A thin gleam of dirt coats here body. But I'm thinking about what she said. Et tu Brute. What does that even mean. Et tu Brute.

"She said something." Wanda starts from her seat next to the girl. Eyes wide. Clint continues to flick his bow string.

"So?" His tone is bored but a hidden layer of tension hides beneath "she talked big whoop! I'm talking right now."

"Clint!" Wanda stands shaking her head "this girl doesn't talk. I tried for days. She was constantly moving her mouth. It's always moving! Just look!" Everyone's eyes dash to the girl sprawled across the planes seats. Her mouth moved slightly. Words almost seemed to form but nothing came out.

"Steve. Who. Is. She." Natasha rises from the pilot seat. The planes monotone voice announces auto pilot engaged. While the voice is nowhere as engaging as Jarvis or Friday... And. I did it again. I thought of him. "Steve!" Nat and Clint lead closer to the sleeping girl, as Clint slyly pokes her with his bow.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you man." Scott leans over her too, with Sam not far behind him.

"Yeah she may kill you or something." Sam adds, he laughs quietly but he knows quite well how dangerous a small person can be. The only one Steve quickly notices not up around the girl is Bucky. He hides in the corner. His face contorted by the shadows. He looks angry but that can't be right. Shaking the thought away. He returns his focus to the sleeping form.

"Whoever she is." I pause slightly as Nat's angry face arises "she's in desperate need of some clean cloths and medical attention."

"Steve! What do you mean whoever she is." Her words are calm and collected as Wanda and Clint both step forward to calm the female down. But she's not Bruce and knows how to control her temper.

"Well...". I start immediately cut by an explosion rocking the plane. Nat rushes to the seat, switching the autopilot off as Clint rushes to the front with her. Thank god. Nat was going to kill me. But also we are dead.

"How did they catch us so fast!" Wanda shouts for her position by the end of the hanger. She received no answer as the plane shakes violently. Throwing me, Sam and Clint across the plane.

"Seatbelts boys!" A smug, grinning Scott looks down on us, as he taps the black buckle covering his chest and lap. With a groan, Clint and Sam struggle there feet.

"Um Steve?" I hear Bucky's questioning tone, as I spring to my feet "where's the girl?" I fling around and see her limp to Natasha. Shoving her from the pilot seat and settling at the controls.

"Nat!"

————————————————————
So really bad cliff hanger.  It's because I want the next chapter from Natasha's POV and I believe in not doing that in middle of the chapters.  But I'm gonna get started on it right away so fingers crossed it will be out sometime next week or later today because procrastination is in the station on my essay.

And also my fan girl is screaming right now because only like 14 more days till Endgame and season two of She-ra and the princesses of power.  And BTS's new album dropped today and a Star Wars teaser trailer.  Tell me your fan girl is not going off right now.

But anyway

Stay classy!
