Steve Rogers
Captain America
I began to unlock my apartment door, but as I usually did I glanced over my shoulder at the apartment across the hall. Jades old place. It's stayed the same for two years, untouched.
I walk into my apartment and drop my keys in the dish with a 'clang'. Everything was quite. Like there was no sound to fill the void. I leaned against my kitchen counter and stared at the frame she had given me. It was a simple black frame with stunning picture in it. It was one of many photographs I had of her throughout the apartment.
I rub my forehead, as I slide down to the floor and stare at the picture. She was beautiful, and I would never be able to see that smile in person ever again. "Two years." I mumble to myself. "Two years and not one trace of what happened to her."
I had been like this for two years. Spencer was 16 by now and somewhere in space at an academy. I sigh, as that day haunted my mind. Today in particular. Today was Jades 26th birthday. We would've had a celebration back at the tower and watched The Expendables. But she never even got to live a full 24 years. And it was my fault.
I lean my head back against the cabinet and stare at the ceiling "I miss you Jade." Yeah. I'm still trying to get over her after two years. The rest of the team still was. I had taken a small break as leader when everything happened. I moved back get to DC. But the memories still haunt me here without her angelic voice to break the unnatural silence, that void that Jade had always filled. Now it was just.... empty.
And that's all I felt. Empty.
