O' Captain, My Captain
Chapter 1
A/N: Not sure how long this story will be because I am not writing a full Captain America/OC story. This is just a snippet of Lena and Steve's story. Please let me know if you like it I really love people telling me what they think.
"Steve! Steve, wait! I need to speak with you!" Lena said as she ran after the Captain who sulked through the halls of the helicarrier. The team had just experienced the death of Phil Coulson not thirty minutes before. They had all been shaken by it but Steve felt worse than anyone. He could not get those damn cards out of his mind.
Steve heard Lena calling but he really did not feel like talking to anyone right now even if it was important. Lena was nice and all but he just wanted to be alone. He ignored her even though he knew it was futile.
"Steve ,du schwein, I need to speak with you." Lena yelled half in English and half in German. Steve turned around at that, he knew that she was pissed when she yelled at him in German. Lena was a German citizen and had lived her entire life in Germany until S.H.E.I.L.D moved her from the German base to New York. She was the "resident computer nerd" as Tony called her. She was really the Avengers' personal computer analyst. Steve had been extremely weary when he found that she was German. He still carried sentiment from World War II with him. He was cold and didn't allow her to show him what she truly was. He soon found that she was a very nice person and not at all like the Germans he remembered.
"What is it Lena?" Steve sighed
"I was wondering if you needed to talk about it?" She said in a thick German accent. Despite being in America for a while she still had a very thick accent. Her English wasn't perfect yet but it was damn near close.
"No I don't really. I just hate that he believed in us so much and we can't push our egos aside to work together." Steve said with a frown.
"I know you guys will be able to figure it out. Loki is headed for New York; this is your team's chance to show Fury and Coulson that it wasn't a waste of time and in Coulson's situation a waste of a life." Lena proclaimed
"I still believe in this team. I have since I was recruited. I fought with men who didn't get along and men who were brothers. I know how hard this struggle is."
"I too believe in you." Lena said. She looked right into the Captain's eyes. She loved those eyes they were perfect. She had only known the Captain for a short time but something was different about him. Lena didn't love him by any means. She thought love was something that grew over a long period not one week. She did find him attractive though, not just his looks but his personality too.
"Lena, I never got a chance to apologize for hating you based on your ethnicity. I'm sorry, I should have never been so judgmental of you just because you are German. I looked for so many flaws trying to find a way to justify my sentiment but I couldn't find any." Steve apologized out of the blue. Lena looked at him. She had never known that he hated her for being German. She had known that he resented it but not hated it. This statement was so unexpected though. She felt sorry for him he looked like a puppy dog standing there. His blue eyes were cast down and he was messing with his fingers while waiting for an answer.
Damn it, she thought. Lena looked at him and gave him her best smile.
"Thank you Steve. I accept the apology from you."
"Also, I know that you will be flying the jet while we are on the ground. Don't get hurt. Please just be safe and stay away from the battle." Steve said.
"I will be safe Captain, but you need to be safe as well." They both stood there for a second looking at each other. It wasn't awkward or anything. Lena smiled at Steve, she blushed and turned to leave.
"Good-bye Captain." Lena said over her shoulder.
"Good-bye Lena." Steve said entranced. Steve liked Lena. She was pretty, smart, funny, and quirky. He felt nervous around her and he knew that his face would turn red around her. The only time he had ever felt this was for Peggy. God he missed her. Steve shook his head to regain his sanity and continued walking toward his destination. He would deal with his feelings after the battle.
A/N: I know it was a little short but I wanted to give Steve and Lena some background. Also all the German I use in here is correct and isn't Google translated. I actually speak German as a second language. I really hope you like the first chapter! Please leave a review!
