Hey there everyone! So I wanted to write an OC and I like Steve so that's what I'm gonna write about! So basically the little first part is in third person but once she wakes up, it'll be in first person and I think it'll stay that way the rest of the story. (Someone else did that and I thought it worked well.) enjoy!

A red leaf drifted through the air softly as it made its trip to the ground. As it perched itself upon the grass, a girl rushed by, causing the little leaf to shudder and fly around a little longer before settling down again on the gravel path the girl was walking on. The girl kept walking until she slipped a bit on the gravel, making her have to stop and shift the grocery bags around in her arms.

"Stupid heels." She mumbled as she kept walking, hurrying to get to her apartment before it got dark. She didn't want to get stuck in Central Park after the sun went down.

Once she got there, she climbed the horrid stairs, kicked her shoes off, put away the food, and flopped down on her chair. Jacqueline Driscoll was exhausted. Thank goodness her day off was tomorrow she thought simply as she stood up to make some dinner.

Jacqueline considered herself to be rather normal. Her hair was a light brown that came down to the middle of her back and her eyes were a steel grey and blue. She stood at 5'3" and was quite content with how she looked.

Jacqueline sat down at her small table with her grilled cheese sandwich and ate it quickly before heading to her room. She changed into her black sleep shorts and dark red T-shirt and settled down to go to sleep.

...

I woke up and rolled around in my bed a little before picking up my phone to check the time. 11:24. I slept in. Ugh. But at least it's my day off. I climbed out of bed and shuffled over to my small kitchen and started to cook an egg for breakfast...or was it lunch? I sighed as I pushed the bread down into the toaster. Just as the toaster clicked to let me know it was toasting, a huge bang came from outside. I whipped my head around and rushed to the window and looked. People were running away. Away from what? I ran back to my bedroom, grabbed the small hand gun and the only extra clip I had, shoved it in my pants so no one would freak out any more than they were now, and ran outside and down the stairs.

The first thing that hit me was how different everything looked. There was dust whipping around rubble. People were running and tripping over dead bodies. I looked around in shock and took it all in. I was shaken out of shock by the sound of an explosion nearby. People screamed and shouted and kept running. I looked to my left. That's where the sounds were coming from. That's where I needed to go. I took off towards the place everyone was running from.

The smell of the explosions slowly seeped into me. It was like nothing I had ever smelled before. What was it? What's going on? My feet hurt. I looked down.

"Idiot!" I said to myself. I forgot shoes. I kept moving. I turned a corner and I saw it. Right there above Stark Tower was this beam of light. An explosion rocked the ground. I spun around and there was this...thing riding a flying craft shooting at people. I slowly took careful aim and shot the thing and it fell to the ground. I started running, staying close to the thicker clouds of dust to help hide me a bit. I saw another one of those things cornering a small group of people. I took aim again and shot it and it fell. The people looked at me, faces full of fear. It made my heart ache. I had to help them. I ran up to them.

"Stay in the dust and run low! Get as far away from here as possible and if you can, stay indoors! Just don't stop moving!" I ran off. Hopefully they took my advice. As I ran, I shot two more of the monsters and told people to get out of here.

I kept moving. I wouldn't stop until I ran out of bullets. As I was up against a wall, a woman with short red hair in a skin tight suit ran up to me.

"What are you doing here?! Get out! Now!" She yelled, obviously trying to clear the area of civilians. I simply raised my gun up and shot one of the monsters that was headed towards us and looked at her as it fell dead to the ground. She raised her eyebrows ever so slightly. "Well ok then." She said simply to me. "Stay with me and stick close. How many bullets you got left?" She yelled over the sound of explosions as we moved.

"Not that many. Seven I think." I yelled back. I shot another monster. "Make that six." I said as I changed the clip. The woman laughed a short single laugh and handed me another gun. I smiled and kept shooting. When I ran out of bullets, she gave me some more. Where the hell does she keep all these? After a while she led me to a small group of people. They all looked at me as we walked up.

"Who is this?" The tall blond guy holding a red white and blue shield asked the woman who was with me.

"Relax Captain. She's actually been helping." She said and smirked at me with a wink. I laughed and smirked back.

"Well get her out of here! It's too dangerous!" He practically yelled at her.

"Dangerous? Of course it's dangerous! Look around you! I'm also the only one who isn't a part of your little group that actually seems to be helping out! You could use my help and don't you dare deny it!" I yelled at him as I walked closer to him, ending my mini speech with a push of my finger on his chest. Just then, a dusty looking guy rides up on a little motorcycle, gets off, and starts talking to his friends I assumed. I wasn't paying attention though. I was looking around, listening. The guy in red, white, and blue tapped my shoulder.

"Are you hurt?" He asked simply.

"No."

"You really should get outta here. It's gonna get worse before it gets better." He told me. I could tell he was being sincere so I calmly replied and told him I was staying. He looked away after I spoke.

"That doesn't look like a party." The red headed woman said. I looked up. A flying worm. Where the hell did these things come from?

"Now would be a really good time to get angry, Bruce." The blond guy said. The guy who I'm guessing was Bruce turned and smiled.

"That's my secret Cap. I'm always angry." Then he turned around again and suddenly he was a giant green guy. Who woulda thought? He punched the giant worm and I'm pretty sure he killed it but hey, I'm not checking. The blond guy started giving orders to everyone but conveniently skipped over me. I looked at him with anger in my eyes. He looked at me guiltily.

"I...I would have given you an order but...I don't know your name." He said hesitantly. I laughed and smiled at him.

"Jack." I figured it was easier to say in a rush than Jacqueline. His face made me laugh again. He was absolutely surprised.

"Well...Jack. Stick close to me and take down as many Chitauri as you can." I nodded but stopped him quickly as he began to walk.

"Wait! I don't know your name!"

He smiled at me. "My name's Steve." Then he turned around and punched a monster right in the face.

OK so first chapter! What do you guys think? I'm writing this as I go so if you have a suggestion, I would love to hear it. Oh! And no I don't believe I'll be giving Jackie any powers. But if someone has a good idea maybe I'll give her something. Thanks for reading one more thing. Jackies' last name, Driscoll, means a place for wild roses. Basically the title is what her last name means. I Had no idea what to put as the title so there's that :o
