Captain America's POV

I still can't believe how the following weeks went in a flash. One minute, we were all fighting with each other and the next thing I know, I was dangling on a wire for my life! Now it's all finally come to this, Loki had to be stopped. It's now or never.

"I wonder how Thor's doing." I mumbled out. Black Widow and Hawkeye were piloting the plane.

"You shouldn't worry about him." Black Widow returned, turning her head to look at me. "I'm sure he's fine."

"I… just can't help feeling… worried." Subconsciously, I muttered the last word, much to their surprise.

"You're 'worried' about him?" Natasha blurted, as to Hawkeye… He just scoffed it off.

"Never mind, okay? Let's just... get this over with." I groaned, taking on of the seats in the plane.

As I waited for the plane to arrive at Manhattan and the rumbling thoughts of mine kept rewinding… 'I hope he's alright…" I was an idiot for fighting with Stark, I should've kept my eyes on Thor. Now he… He's….

*BOOOoom!*

"What was that!" Hawkeye exclaimed, obviously we all heard it. From the top of Stark Tower, a beaming light soared into the sky, contorting, shaping into a gigantic portal.

"We're too late?" I dared to ask, my fingers clenching tightly on my shield's handle.

"I don't think so, there might be a way to stop it." Natasha said, the plane gained acceleration in a second, quickly closing in on the tower's pinnacle.

"There, Loki!" Hawkeye announced, his body turned halfway to me, finger raised at my face. "Steve, shoot him down."

I nodded, the situation overwhelming me until I grabbed hold of the Gatling gun's steer. Wait, Loki? I should just comprise him right? I mean since Thor was still convinced to take his brother back home. I didn't have much time to think, I eyed through the scopes making sure I wouldn't hit anything important to Loki. Pulling the trigger, a barrage of bullets came shooting out of the Gatling, most of them destroying the platform and some impairing Loki's vision yet he was able to counter with a blow sending the plane plummeting to the ground.

"Hold on!" Natasha screamed, her hand pulling back on the steers as hard as she can. We all knew it would crash, bracing ourselves as the plane dived hard on the pavement.

"Great job Steve. You killed cement." Hawkeye remarked sarcastically, gaining a punch from Black Widow.

"Whatever, I didn't want to hur-" I stopped dead, I could feel their eyes on me. Crap, I almost signed my death! "I didn't want to… waste bullets… So I aimed for the… ground." Great excuse, I should earn an award for that.

A loud snarl echoed suddenly from the portal, a worm like creature seemingly slithering in mid-air as it made its way towards the city. Several Chitauri launching from it's side latching themselves onto the building walls.

"We have to evacuate these people. Steve, inform the police about safe points in the city, Hawkeye and I'll take care of the ground troops." With her order, she turned her back and took out two pistols from their holsters and began to fire at the incoming Chitauri.

I can't say I remembered most of what I did, the adrenaline kept me dashing from one building to another saving people and telling police officers what to do. The life of a hero is never easy, huh? After a few blocks safe from the invasion, a booming thunder roared through the sky. I didn't know for sure but I felt an assurance in my heart, that Thor was here and he's safe. Immediately, I ran towards the darkened clouds, I had to see him, I had to…

"Thor!" I screamed to the tip of my lungs. The desperation I felt proved my heart was fluttering for him, for Thor. No response.. Did something..? I shook off the thought, taking in as much air as I could. "Tho-"

Bright eyed, I watched in fear as I saw Thor's body thrown off from the top of the tower. I rushed quickly predicting where his body would fall as I throw my shield to the side. I held my ground and put my weight behind my heels as I ready to catch his body. He was falling quicker than I thought but once he got in arms length I immediately put all of my strength into my arms. The impact and weight of his body made the road crumble as I skidded backwards. As soon I got a firm grip with my feet, I let Thor off of my hands.

"Th-Thor, you idiot! You could've… you could've…" I was frantic, the feeling of crying made its way into me.

"I am alright, Captain." He said casually, placing his hand on my shoulder. "I have withstood harsher beatings." He said smiling.

My heart was beating fast, should I tell him? I should probably tell him… Maybe I shouldn't.. But then..

"Do you have something to say?" He asked as if he read my mind. He could probably tell from my face.

"I.. I think I-"

Hold." He said blankly, his eyes searching at the skies. "You may tell me later, for now it is best if we group with the others. Come."He gestured for me to follow as he led the way among the wreck."

I put my feet to work as I curse myself for thinking like this when the world's about to get conquered. The hell was I thinking! I should put the people first, not… not myself, no… I knew this from the very beginning I received the special treatment. That I was going to protect the people from harm, that I should do everything even to sacrifice my own life. How could I have forgotten? It was never about me to begin with…

"Thor, Captain. Are you two okay?" Black Widow asked, Hawkeye beside her.

"Yes, I am alright." Thor said proudly, hammer in hand. Black Widow focused her stare on me like I had a bug crawling up my nose.

"Steve, are you alright?" She asked again, leaning in a bit closer.

"I… Yeah, I'm alright." I answered meekly, I didn't want to talk to anyone especially not now. "Where's Stark?" I added, to focus their attention on something else.

"He-" Hawkeye stopped. The revving sounds of a motorcycle coming slowly towards them, it was Banner.

"Hey." He greeted, getting out of the worn down vehicle. "Sorry I'm late… Wow, this looks… bad."

"I've seen worse." Black Widow cut in quickly, eyeing Dr. Banner to make her point clear. Banner was smart enough to know and he ducked his head in with an 'Oh…' expression. "No, I mean… We could use a little worse." She smiled.

"Okay.." Banner returned, smiling warmly.

"Alright, enough with the chitchat, I'm bringing the party to you." Stark's voice ringed through our earpiece. From the corner of a building Iron Man came flying out, the worm creature… thing… following him closely.

"I.. I don't see how this is a party." Natasha said sarcastically.

"Dr. Banner, now would be a good time to get angry." I suggested, my eyes locked on to the horrible creature flying towards us.

"That's my secret…" Banner said smiling as he turned to face the creature. "I'm always angry…"

His body convulsed and bulged from different points, muscles ripping out the clothes he was wearing. The green skinned Hulk transformed fully in seconds, releasing a monstrous roar. Easily, he delivered a devastating punch to the Chitauri creature destroying it's thick armour and putting it to the ground. Tony then fired a singular missile digging deep in the uncovered flesh of the creature, detonating with a massive blast tearing away chunks and flesh altogether.

"So, what's the plan?" Natasha asked me, raising her eyebrow in a cocky way.

"Hawkeye, can you get up on one of those buildings? Give us an update on their wave patterns." I ordered, looking at everyone intently.

"Stark, take care of the flying troops coming out of the portal, keep 'em busy." Directing my gaze at Thor, I felt myself at peace. To be with someone I had feelings for at this kind of time, it made me want to take the risks for him… just for him.

"Thor, I know you can hold back most the enemies coming through the portal, use your powers keep them from getting out." I smiled as I thought this would be the last time I would see him. Broken… I was broken…

I turned my attention to Black Widow and Hulk awaiting my orders. Nodding at them slightly, "Black Widow and I will take care of the ground troops. Hulk…" I paused giving him a smile "smash."

With everybody getting to their positions, I turned to face the Chitauri troops scramble towards the scattered rubble. Thor, I don't know if you can hear me, probably not.. Well.. just to let you know, I'm doing this for you... Just for you, so.. so take care of me, alright..? I… I love you so much..

"You… You bastards!" I screamed in rage, my arm gaining momentum as I prepare to throw my shield, tears quickly forming in the corners of my eyes. But before I could even let go of my shield, a hand quickly grabbed on my wrist, pulling it back gently.

"Wha.. What are you.." I stuttered, Black Widow looking at me with confusion. "Let- Let go…!"

"Are you really that stupid?" Her question left me in shock. I calmed myself as I slowly put my shield at my side. "Are you seriously going to let this one go, just like you did once back?"

"What are.. you" I kept stuttering, this time because she caught me red handed. I should've known she was on to me from the very start."You… I don't.. like.. him."

"Steve, I can tell secrets just from how you breathe. I know you're into him." She said lightly, pulling me behind her as she grabbed a lance the Chitauri was using. "Go, don't make the same mistake twice. I know you need time but I can only spare 5 minutes."

"Thank… you." I turned my heels, quickly rushing through rubble and car wrecks. A strange accumulation of dark clouds centred on the tip of the Empire State building. I had to get there quick, no time to spare..

Thor… wait for me..
