As you bolted through your floating hometown, you wondered if this is how you're going to die. You were just sprinting away from a massive robot, with the creepiest blue eyes you had ever seen, and you had no idea where it went. If anything, you were even more scared now, having no idea where it was.

Taking around your surroundings, you sucked in a sharp breath. You were standing on a bridge at the edge of the flying city of Sokovia. Soil and rocks were continually breaking off the bottom and falling too far down to see as the city continued to rise higher.

Talk about a family visit gone wrong.

You cursed under your breath in Sokovian as you finally saw the same robot that was chasing you earlier limping towards you. Still, a pang of satisfaction ran through you as you noticed the wrench you had previously used as a weapon was still lodged in its leg.

Looking around for another weapon, you felt your heart drop. Scattered around the bridge was just papers blowing in the wind, and you doubted a couple of crumpled-up pieces of paper would do much against an android that didn't stop even with a wrench poking through its leg.

"Shit," You muttered, now panicking as the robot limped closer and closer. Even injured, it had the power to crush you. You felt the ground crumple at your heels, and looked back to see yourself teetering at the edge of Sokovia.

Tears of fear were falling freely down your face now, as you tried, and failed to inch back just a little farther. But then, you heard a voice.

"Duck!" Deciding it would be best to listen to the advice, you crouched down as quickly as possible, only to see a robot fly backwards above your head.

A red, white and blue shield skidded to your feet. You grabbed the shield, attempting to stand back up and hand it to whoever had saved you. But, the ground beneath your feet collapsed, sending you tumbling down with it. The shield was still tight in your hand as you screamed in terror.

Until a hand grabbed the other end of it.

You watched, shaking in fear as the shield was pulled back up onto the ground, and you as well. The person on the other end of the shield was actually very handsome. Incredibly thankful for him saving your life, you smiled. "Thanks. I honestly hate being the damsel in distress, and unfortunately for me, a wrench just really wasn't fitting as the role of my knight in shining armor."

The man grinned. "That was you who stuck that wrench in the robot?"

You nodded. "That was me. And, who are you, by the way? The people of Sokovia don't usually wear American colors. Or carry giant shields." He laughed at this, moving closer to you.

"I'm Steve Rogers, uhm, Captain America. So, if you're Sokovian, why don't you sound like the rest of the citizens?"

You smiled. "I spent a lot of my time studying abroad in America, and it got rid of my accent. It comes out when I speak our language, though. I just had no idea America had a Captain."

"But now that you know my name, what's yours?" A smile still plastered on your face, you came closer to him, now only inches away from the blonde man who had saved you.

"Y/N L/N." You breathed out, taking in the beauty of his blue eyes. Your breaths were shortened as your heart sped up. Steve Rogers, whoever he was— looked gorgeous up close.

"You have a beautiful name." He whispered, before ducking down to meet your lips. He moved slowly, giving you time to react and move away if you wanted to. But you didn't step away, just met his lips. Your mouths molded together perfectly, and you wrapped your arms around his neck. His muscular arms snaked around your waist, pulling you closer.

After what felt like a millennia but was only seconds, you pulled apart. Steve looked sheepish, but still happy, while you, on the other hand, grinned.

"Who knew saving someone's life twice would be a good way to get them to kiss you?" You said, making Steve laugh.

"I promise, that wasn't my intention." he responded. You shrugged, a smile still on your face. "Still, it worked out well. Get me out of here?"

He nodded, picking up his shield and slinging you over his shoulder while you laughed in surprise. "What are you doing?" You cried out, your words loud due to laughter.

"What? I'm just being a better knight in shining armor than that wrench."

You rolled your eyes with a smile, allowing Steve to carry you the rest of the way to the helicarrier.
