Brother America (A Captain America Story) WATTYS 2015

Chapter 29~Parting Ways

☆Steve's POV☆

We stand in front of a building in Central Park as Thor and Loki part. I stand next to Callie and Bruce as we all shake hands with Thor, with the exception of Callie; she gives him a big hug.

The evening sun is slicing through the fluttering green leaves of the trees, a warm breeze stirring the air. I smell fall on the wind.

Loki stands next to his brother with a weird metal gag over his mouth and in full Asgardian armor. He glares at all of us, sweeping his eyes over the little farewell party. Thor approaches him, handing him one end of the case that holds the Tesseract. Loki reluctantly reaches out and grips it. The mighty Thor nods to us, and turns the handle. The two brothers glow a bright blue, and disappear into the atmosphere. We all stare for a moment where the two had disappeared until Tony breaks the silence.

"Soo...are we gonna head to that shwarma joint?" He points behind at the blocks next to the park. Callie rubs her stomach.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm starving," she grins. Bruce smiles and follows Tony into his red Acura convertable.

"See you there!" He gives a single wave as Tony hits the gas and the car races away.

I shake my head, smiling.

"Wanna try and beat them to it?" I turn to Callie. She doesn't have to be told twice as she pelts over to my Harley motercycle, hopping on the back. I wave to Natasha and Clint to meet us there and I swing my leg over, revving the engine. Callie hangs on to me around my waist as we take off after the convertable. Callie whoops as we lean into the turns, the wind rustling our hair.

We sit in the shwarma joint, eating and talking between ourselves quietly. Tony is spilling his plans for the wedding, and Callie is explaining to Bruce about how she gets the scars on her back, and he is listening intently. Nat, Clint, and I are half listening to Tony, and throw in a few comments every once in a while. We sit in the resturaunt for a good two hours before we all get up to head our separate ways. All of us step out onto the sidewalk and exchange goodbyes.

"See you all for the wedding in a month or so," Tony shakes my hand, and I return it firmly.

"No hard feelings, Stark," I clap him on the back. Tony just tells me to not get frozen in ice again...typical.

"Take care of her, will you?" He looks over at Callie who is saying goodbye to Bruce, Natasha, and Clint. I nod.

"Why wouldn't I?" I grin slightly.

Callie and I are getting her files from Fury this afternoon before he departs to DC. We decide to lay low in Massachusetts, on a little island called Newfield.

I bid goodbye to Natasha and Clint, then Bruce. I have a feeling we will be working with Natasha soon.

A big black van drives up next to us, and Fury steps out carefully, his black trench coat billowing behind him as he approaches us. He jabs his thumb at the car for Natasha and Clint to get in. Then, he turns to me and Callie.

"Hope this won't be the last time you help us, Captain Rogers," Fury holds out Callie's files to me. I sigh.

"I have a feeling it won't be," I admit. He nods, looking to Callie.

"You did a respectable job out there, Tempest," he praises. She shrugs, smiling.

"I'll take that as a thank you," she laughs, shaking Fury's hand. He snorts silently.

"See you two at the wedding," and with that, Fury, Clint, and Natasha step into the shiny black van and drive off.

"Well," Tony exclaims, clapping his hands together. "See you two around, I suppose."

We nod as Tony and Bruce walk off, beginning to talk to each other about plans to fix up Stark Tower.

By the end of the invasion, all of the letters have been knocked off, with only the A remaining. Kind of ironic since we are the Avengers.

"I guess we should get moving," I sigh, looking around New York. Callie nods.

"This will be very interesting" she says mysteriously. I laugh, shaking my head as I rev the engine up again.

"Yay, 3 hour rides," I throw up my hands sarcastically. Callie laughs and she hops on behind me. We take one final sweep of New York, and then we are off to start a new life until we get called back into duty. Who knows when that will be?
