Let Me Show You

A/N: Hi, don't feel like you need to be a silent reader. I love hearing from everyone. Comment with kindness.

O - O - O

While Tony worked on plans for repairing the ship's inner workings, Niobe found herself sitting on the side. Tony had shoved her away unconsciously as he worked on the ship. He knew more about the beast than she ever would. She figured the wise choice would be to let him work without interference.

As she listened to the strange music Tony sang to, the doors to his lab opened. Steve stood with a small grin. He waved her over.

"What's up?" She asked.

"Want to see New York?" He asked.

She glanced back at Tony. He had been in his own mind for the past few hours. 

Niobe nodded at Steve and followed him to the elevator.

"Where to first?" She asked.

They stepped inside.

"After hearing about Naboo, I thought you might like to see some nature," he said.

The elevator began to head down. She was surprised the city was capable of cultivating plants.

"We have an area here called Central Park. The space won't be as much as Naboo had, but its something."

Niobe agreed, and she was excited to see green again.

"I haven't seen green in years. I've been stationed between Coruscant and desert systems," she said. "There was a brief moment on Kashyyk, but...as I said. The visit was brief."

Steve lead them out of the elevator to a sort of hanger with vehicles.

"I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea of not being alone out there," he said. "The things you must have seen..."

He opened the vehicle's door for her and she slid inside. Steve walked to the other side and got in.

"Not all of what I've seen was that good," she said. "I can, however, show you some of that beauty."

The engine started and Steve looked over at her.

"Really?"

"Of course," she said.


OOOOOOOOO

"The nature on your planet is very familiar," Niobe said running a hand along a nearby tree.

"Did you like growing up on Coruscant?" Steve asked watching her slow movements.

He noticed a light smile tug at her lips and she glanced over at him.

"It was alright, I didn't stay there my entire life." Niobe said, "I was trained in the temple for a while and slowly introduced to other planets. My master did not leave the temple with me very often so Obi-wan, Anakin's master, would allow me to tag along."

"Who was your master?"

"His name is Yoda. He is a very respected Jedi master and the majority of his work is in the temple. Many of my friends would claim that I was very lucky because he is the grand master of the council. So I suppose one might argue that Obi-wan was my master."

"What planets have you been to? What was your favorite?"

Niobe laughed as they passed by gawking New York citizens. They couldn't decide if they stared because of her markings or the fact that he was Captain America.

"You love asking questions don't you?"

Steve blushed and Niobe gave a light punch to his arm.

"I went out at kind of a young age, Anakin was a little older than me, maybe 14, and I had to follow along with his training. So at 12, a young age for a padawan, I had to step up and take on his level."

A group of small children ran up to Steve shrieking in excitement. They each had paper in hand and asking for his signature. Niobe laughed, enjoying his shocked face and flustered actions as he signed. Steve glanced over at Niobe every now and then. She had gone on to watch a pigeon on the ground somehow bringing the creature towards her. The bird had hopped onto her hand by the time Steve returned to her side. His presence caused the bird to panic and Niobe released it into the air.

"Sorry about all that."

"No need to be, Anakin experienced the same thing. One gets used to it."

Niobe gave a bright smile that caused him to hesitate.

"So, planets?" he asked.

"Yes, planets."

The two moved back into step walking along the paths.

"There was Naboo, I spent some time protecting the senator, Felucia that was absolutely stunning, Serreno, Alderaan, Kashyyyk, Geonosis, the list could go on. My favorite, however, was Mustafar. I wasn't on it for very long but it was beautiful. Mustafar is a lava planet and it was kind of a terrifying if I'm honest."

"Wow." Steve said stopping their journey

"I know, and now I can add one more...Earth." She said grabbing hold of his arm. "Your planet is quite an experience."

Steve followed her gaze to a potbellied man eating mustard off of his shirt. The pair laughed and went to sit down on a bench. Niobe brought her hands to his temples. His body jerked and he leaned away.

"Let me show you my home," she said.

He relaxed and closed his eyes, welcoming her touch. She drew her own eyes shut, conjuring images and letting her memories flow into his mind.
