Disclaimer, I don't own The Avengers.
As we made our way down to the 30th floor I couldn't help but feel nervous. Sure I wouldn't be meeting my father for a few more days, but I was still meeting a majority of the people that saved New York and the world. It would be very intimidating. As the elevator opened I saw 3 people sitting around a table, as soon as the noticed me they all stood up and walked over to us.
"Who is she?" A woman with dark red hair asked. She was beautiful but very scary. She looked like she could kill me with a toothpick. And from the footage I saw from New York I am sure she could.
"Natasha, Clint, Steve, this is Kelsy Banner. Bruce's daughter, and before you ask anymore questions she had only met Bruce a few times." Tony said.
"Oh, nice to meet you. I am Natasha Romanoff." The woman, Natasha said.
"Im Agent Clint Barton." The man that was standing next to Natasha said. He gave me a small smile and went back to sit down with Natasha.
"And Im Steve Rogers, it's a pleasure to meet you ma'am." The tall attractive man said shaking my hand. I couldn't help but blush as I realized that I was shaking Captain America's hand. I felt like a giddy little school girl. So many women would be jealous of me right now. I didn't notice that I still had a hold of his hand until Tony cleared his throat awkwardly. We quickly let go and Steve's hand went straight to the back of his neck where he started rubbing it. I thought I saw the faintest signs of a blush on his cheeks but quickly dismissed it. "Pepper, why don't you get started on dinner, I am sure Kelsy is starving."
"So why is she just now looking for Bruce?" Agent Barton asked.
"I have leukemia and I need to see if Bruce is a match to be a bone marrow donor." I said as Tony ushered me to sit down on the opposite side of the table as Natasha and Clint.
"Would that be safe considering the other guy?" Natasha asked.
"The other guy?" I asked feeling confused.
"You don't know about the other guy?" Clint asked looking at me strangely. What on earth could they be talking about.
"You remember the footage from New York? Well that big green guy is what happens to Bruce when he gets angry." Clint said. I felt my breathing quicken up as images of that green thing popped into my head. My father was some kind of monster and here I am with a bunch of freaking superheroes. I suddenly felt like the room was spinning, I needed to get out of this room. I quickly stood up and said that I wasn't feeling so hungry anymore and ran for the balcony I had spotted when we arrived in the kitchen. As soon as I made it outside I emptied the contents of my stomach in the small trash can that was sitting in the corner. The cool New York evening air instantly helping to calm me down, I leaned against the window and slid down to a sitting position putting my head in my hands. If there was something wrong with my father then would there be anyway that he could be a possible match? Natasha acted like it was impossible whenever I said something. I felt the tears start streaming down my face as I heard the door open. I looked over to see Steve standing by the door with a glass of ice water.
"Here I thought you could use this." He said as he handed it to me. I lifted a shaky hand to retrieve the water and brought it to my lips. It helped calm me down a little.
"Thanks." I said putting my head back into my hands to work on controlling my breathing. I felt Steve kneel next to me and start rubbing my back. "Bruce was my last chance, if he isn't a match I don't know what else there is to do." I said starting to sob into my hands.
"Shhh, everything will be fine. There are a lot of smart men here that can find a way to help you. You know I wasn't expected to live to the age of 30 and look at me now, I am 95." He said chuckling.
"You look pretty damn good for your age." I said looking at him with a small smile on my face. I wiped away the tears that had fallen as I finally calmed down a little bit. It was the first time I notice how close Steve and I were. I quickly looked away to try to hid the redness that was creeping on my cheeks. "Thank you for everything Steve."
"No problem, ma'am." He said standing up, putting his hand out to help me up.
"Please, call me Kelsy." I said as he pulled me to a standing position.
"Alright Kelsy, let's get you back inside." He said as he opened the door to the kitchen. Pepper was just finishing up dinner as they walked back into the room. Steve led me to the table where I sat back down. Pepper placed a plate of chicken and pasta in front of me and told me to eat up. As I tried to tell her that I wasn't hungry I received another one of her motherly looks. I took a small bite of the food and realized that this had been the first time I had eaten in over 24 hours.
"I got a hold of Bruce while you were outside, he told me he should be home tomorrow afternoon. I didn't tell him you were here because I thought that would be a conversation that would be better to have in person." Tony said as he sat down at the head of the table. "I also talked to some of the doctors at S.H.I.E.L.D. and they would like for you to have your doctors in Kansas fax over all of your medical records. They are able to get you in on Wednesday."
"Alright, I will call my doctor first thing tomorrow morning. What is S.H.I.E.L.D.? I asked him.
"It stands for Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division. I think they just put a bunch of words together so it spells S.H.I.E.L.D. They are the ones that The Avengers work for." Tony said in the smartass way I quickly noticed he speaks in often.
We finished eating and slowly everyone started to excuse themselves until it was just Tony, Steve and I. I was starting to get sleepy when Tony suggested Steve take me back up to our floor. He nodded and stood up, giving me his hand to help me up. I took it and he pulled me to my feet. We both bid Tony goodnight and made our way to the elevator.
Once in the elevator Steve turned and asked, "Are you feeling alright? You hardly touched your dinner."
"My doctors put me on a new medicine that makes me sick to my stomach. If I eat too much I will end up getting sick." I said as the doors opened to our floor. Steve walked me to my door as I started to feel nauseous again. I quickly flung open my door and high-tailed it to the bathroom just in time to get sick again. I heard Steve call my name as I vomited again. Once I was finished I heard the sink turn on and felt a cool washcloth being pressed to the back of my neck.
"Are you sure you are alright?" Steve asked as he sat on the edge of the tub next to me. I nodded but the movement made me dizzy so I slowly scooted away from the toilet and leaned against the tub right next to Steve's leg. "I'll be fine once I get changed and get to bed, I have had a long day."
"Where are your nightclothes? I can get them for you."
"They are in my bag in the living room." I said as I move the washcloth from my neck to my forehead. Steve got up to retrieve my clothes and came back with a slight blush on his face. That when I noticed the reason why. He had a pair of my lacy panties in his hand along with my pajamas. He handed them too me and turned around. "Let me know when you are finished and I will help you to your room." He said as he closed the door behind him.
I changed as quickly as I could without making myself sick. Then I brushed my teeth and washed my face with the stuff that I had unpacked before we went down stairs. "Ok Steve, Im done." I said as I opened the bathroom door. I took a wobbly step towards him and he quickly put his arm around my waist and helped me to the bedroom. He pulled back to covers and helped me get in.
"Do you want me to stay in case you need anything?" Steve asked and I just shook my head and told him I should be fine. He stared at me for a minute before he said, "At least let me stay until you fall asleep."
"Alright." I said as I yawned. I scooted over to the middle of the bed so he could sit beside me. "Thank you Steve." I told him as my eyes started to close. All of the excitement and jetlag finally catching up with me, the last thing I heard before I fell asleep was Steve say, "Goodnight beautiful."
Alrighty, got some Steve and Kelsy in there. Let me know what you think! Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for reading! Until next time.
