Chapter 21: If Only I Wasn't Blind!

Chapter 21: If Only I Wasn't Blind!

            The helicopter lands on the roof of Avengers Tower and I’m still blind. This time, Barton takes Peter while Rogers helps me again. I unbuckle, stand and turn to move, but Rogers picks me up again and jumps out of the helicopter. Again I grabbed his neck as he jumps off the copter. When he lets go I turn and begin slowly walking.

            “We just got you here and I’m not gonna let you get away by walking off the roof.” Rogers says as he grabs me by my waist. I let out an “Ooff!” when he throws me over his shoulder.

            “Was the necessary?” I ask as he continues walking. He simply replies back.

            “You’re lighter than I thought.” I pick up my head and give a confused expression. My mask is still on, so I take it off and say,

            “Hey, can one of you take this?” I feel it leave my hand and drop my arm. “Oh and Captain,” I continue, “was that remark an insult or compliment?”

            “It was a miscalculation.” He says dryly. I think we’re inside now because I don’t hear the noise New York produces anymore. Then Spangles stops walking and I hear a ding. He takes a few steps, stops again, and turns. When he turns, I manage to hit something with my head, which cause an “Ow!” from me and whoever I hit.

            “Watch it Leiton!” Stark says. His voice doesn’t staticy anymore and since I’m pretty sure I hit his head with my own, he took his helmet off.

            “It’s not my fault Metal Head!” He’s the one who’s driving.” I say poking Cap in the back. I hear another ding and then a shift downward. “Are we in an elevator?” I ask.         

            “You are indeed.” I hear a British voice say.

            “Since when is one of you British?” I ask completely baffled at who is talking.

            “That’s JARVIS, Tony’s electronic butler.” Banner says. I’d also like to think he’s the one who took my mask. Rogers readjusts me on his shoulder which pushes another “Ooff!” out of me. Damn, what’s with him? Seriously, I feel like Fiona in Shreck when Shrek kidnaps her. Is this considered kidnapping? Sure I’ve done some bad things, but they have no right to come and take me without an arrest warrant. I hear a few chuckles and then Thor saying,

            “Fiona and Shrek? I do not know these Midgardians.”

            “It’s a movie, Thor. Shrek being am ogre and kidnapping Princess Fiona in the manner Capsicle happens to be holding Viper.” Stark explains. I let my head fall and lean against Caps back, in realization I said that out loud.

            “Would any of you know a good psychiatrist?” I mumble against Rogers back, as I hear another ding and he begins to walk again.

            “Not Bruce.” Stark says.

            “I told you, I’m not that kind of doctor!” Banner protests.

            “I don’t even want to know.” I say. Rogers continues walking and gently places me on the floor. He guides me backwards and makes me sit down on what feels like a couch.

            “Stay here.” He says sternly.

            “Wasn’t planning on going anywhere!” I shout as I hear his footsteps leave. I bring my legs up and sit cross legged as I wait. Sitting in the silence, I hear the Avengers talking.
