Ruins

9) Revenge Vrs Avenge

Manhattan, NewYork/ Avengers Tower

(One Week Later)

3rd Person P.O.V- No one has seen nor heard from Captain America since Peter kicked him out of the Tower. He wasn't seen on missions nor at mandatory SHEILD meetings and everyone was beginning to worry, especially because he knew the teams secrets and that was deadly in the wrong hands.

Steve- Sneaking into the tower was so easy, I walk into the lab and find Hydra's little lab rat bent over his desk. (Smirks Darkly) "What are you doing off your leash?"

Athena- Hearing that familiar voice so cold sends shivers down my spine, startling me to the point I drop my tools. "How did you get in?" Looking up and into my sons horrified eyes, I slowly turn around to face the ex-Captain immediately noticing his change of suite. (Mutters) "Fuck." The blonde is dressed in a leather suite that is black and red with a Hydra logo plastered across the chest and the iconic Shield has been defiled by enemy colors. (Huffs Irritably)

Steve- Looking the petite female up and down rather appreciatively. "How do you think I got in, Stark? Did you forget that I know all the codes to the building?"

Athena- (Grimaces and Mutters) "Fuck."

Peter- (Glares) Seeing the leering look the Captain is giving my mother. "Didn't I kick you out of the tower?"

Steve- (Laughs Harshly) "You really think you hold any authority over me? You're nothing but a child!"

Peter- What he says gets under my skin and I go to launch myself at him, but am suddenly stopped.

Athena- Placing my hand on my son's chest to hold him back, when he goes to leap at the enhanced SuperSoldier. (Shakes Head) "Go get your father, I have this."

Peter- (Huffs Unhappily) Sending a rather nasty glare to the blonde, I leave my mother to handle it as I go get my father.

Steve- (Raises Eyebrow) "Father?" (Snorts) "And how are you gonna handle me exactly?"

Athena- Choosing to ignore those questions as I tap my fingers against my arc reactor, my suite filling out around me. "You do remember who made you that shield correct?"

Steve- Watching the armor take shape around the feminine body was a bit of a turn on. "I'm sorry?" I was a bit thrown off by the question. "Of course I do."

Athena- I might have daddy issues, but Captain America was his greatest work and here he is practically spitting in the face of the man whom created him. (Snarls) "Then how dare you defile my father's greatest work!" My wings unfurl in a snap as I fly at the Soldier whom not only took everything away from, but has also given me a second chance at life.

Steve- Prepared for a fight, I swing my shield and hit her right in the face which sends her flying across the lab. "You think you can defeat me, you are nothing compared to me." She crashes through some shelves and falls to the floor.

Athena- He storms over and stands above me for a mere moment, before I suddenly have his hands wrapped tightly around my neck and then he beats the literal life out of me.

Five Minutes Later

Steve- Kneeling over her sprawled out body as I continuously connect my fist with her face, chest and ribs. "If you weren't such a hinderance to Hydra's future plans, you'd be a good fuck toy to keep around."

Athena- I defend myself against the stronger male to the best of my abilities using my wings, repulsers, wrist cannons, knives, throwing stars, tranquil darts, fists and feet. Nothing seemed to phase him.

Steve- (Laughs Darkly) Bruises painted her face as blood dropped from her mouth and nose. (Smirks Coyly) "Hydra may have given you enhancements, but all you are is a failed experiment and a broken toy."

Athena- Laying broken and bruised at the Soldiers feet, refusing to admit defeat. (Hisses) "I'm not you!" My wings whip open as I arch rather painfully, hitting my arc reactor as a powerful burst of radiative power engulfs the SuperSoldier standing in front of me.

Three Minutes Later

Bucky- As I was out on a run with Sam, Peter had to come get us. We return to the tower as fast as possible, finding Athena laying in the middle of her destroyed lab. "Thea?" Rushing over I kneel beside her battered body, gently pulling her into my lap. "Baby doll, what happened?"

Athena- Tears roll down my cheeks as my head falls against his chest. (Mutters) "I'm sorry."

Bucky- Slowly rocking back and forth as I nuzzle her dirty hair. (Coos Soothingly) "There is nothing for you to be sorry for."

Sam- Examining the smoldering pile of ash on the floor next to the suspiciously familiar looking shield. "Bucky, brother?" I hold up the rather offending object as I gesture to the pile of ash.

Bucky- Turning my attention to Sam as I glare at the object in his hands and then down at the pile of ash. "She did what had to be done." Nuzzling her temple, I leave a trail of soothing kisses.

Peter- Holding mom's hand between mine. "Things are going to be different now..."

Sam- (Hums Agreeingly) Things were definitely gonna be different.
