The Next Avengers: The Legend(MCU)

Hope For A Ronin

The Benatar flew through the cloudy night sky as it and the passengers inside neared Japan.

***The Benatar***

"We're about ten minutes out!" Rocket called out to the other passengers aboard the ship.

Having left the Barton Farmhouse in Missouri, they had gained a new destination: Tokyo, Japan. The objective: finding Frankie, an old friend of theirs, and bring him home.

Kate was nervous out of all of them. She hadn't seen Frankie in years and was genuinely worried about him. And also yes, there was the undeniable crush she had on him that kept coming back and mentally poking her nonstop, and she didn't even know how to feel about that.

"You alright?" Blinking and returning to reality, Kate looked up and saw Jamie stand above where she sat with a concerned look.

"Yeah, just....a bit nervous, that's all." She replied, rubbing her hands together and exhaling a nervous air.

"That's all?" Jamie repeated, taking a seat next to her. A smirk was on his face. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say that was the look of a girl who is about to see her long-distance crush."

"What?!" The brunette exclaimed, a cape of denial coming over her, "Nah! No way, you're-" but she was cut off by a knowing look from Jamie. His smirk signifies he'd seen right through her façade and to the truth. Letting out a sigh, knowing she could no longer hid or from him, she nodded. "How did you know?"

"My mom was Black Widow. She could read a person before they even said a word. I guess I kinda inherited it from her."

"Huh, no s**t."

"So, you like Frankie, huh?"

It was more of a statement than a question, but the effect it had on Kate was all the same. Choked up with a hard blush. Apparently it was obvious, at least to Jamie, so she couldn't deny it any longer. "Yeah...yeah, I do." she replied with a nod.

"When was the last time you saw him?" Jamie asked.

"About four years ago...He didn't even say goodbye, he just came by my house, left a small package with a note saying that he was going away and didn't know when or if he was coming back...that was the second worse day of my life..."

Hearing that, Jamie became empathetic towards her as he knew exactly what she meant. And he could only imagine what her version of the the same pain was like, but he could also probably relate.

"Well, now there's a chance to change all of that." He said optimistically, a reassuring smile on his face. This made Kate look up at him with worry in her eyes. "If this works, we'll be able to reverse all of the pain and loss. And also, we'll all be together."

The worry in Kate's turned into that of comfort at hearing Jamie's words. She really admired that about him. "You really have a way with words, Jamie." She stared with a new smile.

Jamie smiles back at that. "Well, that I probably get from my dad," he replied, lightly shrugging his shoulders.

The two shared a laugh as that until they heard the call of the "raccoon" up above. "We're here!"
