The jet jerked a little a Quinn looked away from Steve. She let out a breath and closed her eyes to mediate and relax her nervous and get her head straight. Quinn heard Professor X's voice a little as it started to become clearer. It always took him a while to locate her and then reach out to her.
"How may I help you Professor?" Quinn asked
"It is good to hear from you my dear. It has been a long while since we have talked to one another and I wanted to see how you were doing and how the powers are coming along." Professor X answered
"My powers are coming along well and I am assigned to a team called The Avengers. I am doing very well and thank you for asking." Quinn replied
"If you have a chance to stop by the school, I would like you to talk to you. I am sure the rest of the x-men would like to see you as well." Professor X said
"I will and I will talk to you soon, Professor." Quinn said
"Take care, dear." Professor replied
Steve watched as Quinn sat there with her eyes closed and he watched her lips move like she was talking to someone. Steve admired the features of Quinn some more and sighed wishing that he could not act around a dame like this. He watched as her lips moved and looked over to Natasha.
"What is Quinn doing?" Steve asked
"She is mediating to relax herself and calm down. She needs to think straight when we face Loki." Natasha replied
"No, why is she moving her lips?" Steve asked
"Quinn is talking to Professor Charles Xavier telepathically and it just something that happens when she talks to him." Natasha explained
Steve gently placed his hand on her shoulder and shook her gently. Quinn eyes flew open and she hissed at him reveling two sharp fangs. Steve noticed that Quinn's eyes seemed a little darker and he was a little scared. Quinn sniffed the air and her eyes lighten up and she looked at Steve with some sadness in her eyes.
"I am sorry, Steve. You should not do that when I am mediating or sleeping." Quinn said softly
Steve said it was ok and she helped him up. Quinn sat back down and started to shake a little as the jet started to jerk even more. Steven sat next to her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. Quinn started to stop shaking as he rubbed up and down her arms.
"Vamp, I need you to jump off the ramp because you are up first and we are here." Natasha said
"I am on it." Quinn said as she stood up and walked over to the ramp. She gently smiled out Steve before jumping out and spreading her wings to fly. She was above a bunch of people kneeling where they could not see her at all. A tall man was standing in front of them. He had a scepter in his hands that was gold along with a golden helmet that had two horns and represented a ram. He had a dark green cape along with black and golden armor on. The man was yelling at the people and scaring them out at them. Quinn saw one old man stand up and go against him. Quinn knew that it had to be Loki as the one in front of the people.
"Look at your elder, people. Let him be an example." Loki said
Loki pointed his scepter at the man and fired. Quinn flew right at him and tackled him to the ground. Loki pushed her off of him. Quinn remembered hearing a clinking sound right before she tackled Loki. She quickly looked up and saw Steve standing over the man he had saved from being killed.
"You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everyone else, we ended up disagreeing." Steve said
"The solider. A man out of time." Loki replied
"I am not the one out of time." Steve shoots back
Natasha lowers the jet with a machine gun pointing right at Loki. "Loki, drop the weapon and stand down." Natasha warned as she looked right at Loki. Loki suddenly attacks Steve and shoots at him with his scepter and knocks Steve down. Quinn quickly got up and growled deep. She hated it when her she let herself go.
"Kneel!" Loki shouted
"Not today." Steve replied
Quinn quickly shot at Loki knocking him down using her energy projection. She stood over Loki and growled at him. Steve watched as she pulled Loki up and threw him. Quinn used her sonic scream and made Loki even go farther.
"Well if it isn't the little experiment that was turned into a monster. When she was a freak already." Loki snickered
Quinn punched him hard before she herself got shot at and fell to the ground. She whimpered a little as Loki stalked towards her. She shot him and he blocked it. Steve came and knocked him over with his shield. Steve runs over to her and helps her up. Quinn sees Iron man shoot Loki making him fall backwards onto his ass.
"Make your move, Reindeer Games." Ironman said as he pointed missiles and a blaster at him. Steve was worried about Quinn and wanted to get back as soon as possible. Loki raises his hands up and surrenders. "Good Move." Ironman said as he lowers his weapons. Steve looks at Ironman along with Quinn.
"Mr. Stark " Steve said
"Ironman." Quinn said
"Captain, Vampirette." Ironman replied
They loaded Loki onto the jet and strapped him into a seat. Steve helped Quinn onto the jet as well and made her sit down. Quinn watched as Steve seemed uneasy with what was going on.
"Is something wrong, Mr. Rogers?" Quinn asked
"I don't like it." Steve replied
"What? Rock of Ages giving up so easily?" Tony added in
"I don't remember it being so easy. The guy packs a wallop." Steve said
"Still, you were pretty spry, for an old fellow. What's your thing? Pilates?" Tony asked
"What?" Steve replied
"It's like calisthenics. You might have missed a couple things, you know, doing time as a Capsicle." Tony explained
"Fury didn't tell me he was calling you in." Steve said
"Yeah, there is a lot of things that Fury doesn't tell you." Tony replied
"Mr. Stark, is right about that one. Fury does not tell people a lot of things. Especially those that are close to him and he trusts. There are things that I don't know and he has not told me. I am close to him as you can get." Quinn explained weakly
"You are not looking so good there, spite firer." Tony replied
"Stark, is right. I am not liking how you are looking or acting. When we get back I want you to get checked out right away." Steve said
"I think that you should focused on Loki more. A powerful being like that does not give up that easy. He is up to something and is just going along with his plan." Quinn shot back
Steve sighed and rolled his eyes. Tony walked over to her and kneeled in front of her so they were at eye level. "You energy and power come from how much you have stored in you. I read in your file that you need blood every so many days do to all the experiments they did on you along with enhancing your powers as well." Tony explained as he looked into Quinn's eyes. "I have not had blood in five days and three days is the longest I usually go without drinking blood. If I don't get some in me soon I will die." Quinn replied as she looked at Tony carefully.
"Can you drink human's blood along with animal's blood you usually drink?" Steve asked
"Yes, I drink animal's blood so I don't lose control and almost kill someone." Quinn answered
"Then drink some of mine. You need to be at your best so that you can help the team and we can protect the world." Steve replied
"I can't do that, Mr. Rogers. If I do, I could kill you and it would be hard for me to stop. I would even form a bond where I could tell where you are always no matter what and get to you within seconds." Quinn explained
"I don't care and we need you well to help the team." Steve said as he held his arm up to Quinn's mouth. Quinn looked into Steve's blue eyes and sighed. Tony was now at her left side standing while Steve was standing right in front of her holding up his left arm to her mouth. "You sure you want me to do this?" Quinn asked as she looked at Steve. "Yes, I do." Steve replied looking straight into her eyes. "You know that once I drink from you and the bound is formed there is no way in breaking it?" Quinn asked as she grabbed a hold of Steve's arm. "Yes." Steve answered as he watched her gently bite down on his arm. Quinn was as careful as she could be and reminded herself that she needed only a little from Steve. Quinn quickly took what she needed and licked where she had bit Steven, which healed right away. Thunder and lightning started to shake the jet. "Where is this coming from?" Natasha asked as she looked around. Steve and Quinn look over to Loki, who looks worried.
"What's the matter? Scared of a little lightning?" Steve asked
"I'm not overly fond of what follows." Loki replied
"Thor." Quinn whispered
A hunk of a man with long blond hair and a short bread. He had a long red cape with sliver armor on along with a huge hammer in his hand. The man had a muscular body as well and pulled Loki out of the jet.
"Now there is that guy." Tony said
"Another Asgardian?" Natasha asked
"Think the guy is friendly?" Steve asked
"From what I know he should be. That is coming from Coulson. We can't take our chances." Quinn answered
"Doesn't matter. If he frees Loki or kills him, the Tesseract's lost." Tony replied as his face mask came down and he starts to go after Thor. "We need a plan of attack!" Steve shouted as he watched Tony. "I have a plan. Attack!" Tony said as he jumped off the jet. Quinn stands up and starts to walk towards the ramp to jump out. Steve grabs a hold of her and turns her around to look at her in the eyes.
"I think you two should sit this one out." Natasha said
"I think Quinn should sit this one out. I don't know how I can do that." Steve replied
"That is not going to happen, Captain." Quinn answered as she got out of his hold and started for the ramp again. Quinn jumped off the jet and flew down to meet the ground. On the way down she saw Ironman tackle Thor off an edge of a cliff. "Get now I have to slit them up." Quinn mumbled as she landed in between the two. She had her hands light up yellow each pointing at one of them. "I think that is enough boys. Playtime is over and it is time to settle our differences." Quinn looked back and forth between the two. They just ignored her and pushed her out of the way as they started fighting again. Quinn growled and then saw Captain America land just about as Thor was going to hit Tony with his hammer, Captain held up his shield. Quinn shot Thor with her energy projection, making Thor fall backwards. Quinn stood up and walked over and stood by a tall tree. Quinn watched as Captain, Ironman, and Thor talked to one another. Captain made his way over to Quinn looking a little upset.
"Do you ever listen to orders?" Steve asked
"Mostly from Fury and some others. I was here to be on the team to do something not just sit around. I have even fought with the X-Men for a good amount of my life. This is what I was trained for." Quinn explained
Steve just shook his head and Thor started to walk over to Quinn. When Thor reached Quinn, he brought her right hand up to his lips and placed a kiss upon it.
"Lady Richard, it is good to see you again and looking so beautiful and wonderful. I would saw that there is no other fair maiden as you." Thor said
"It is good to see you again, Thor." Quinn said as she hugged Thor and he picked her up while hugging her. Steve let out a low growl due to something inside of him not liking the fact of how Quinn and Thor were acting with one another. Everyone go into the jet and they all strapped Loki back into the seat. They arrived back on the helicarrier and they took Loki to a cell. Steve walked to his room to take a shower and relax. Everyone had to wake up early in the morning for the meeting Fury was holding.
"Why did I get so upset that Quinn was… what do they call it this day, flirting with Thor. It is not like that I am with her and I have just met the dame. She is nothing like Peggy at all. I have never really been good with dames, but maybe I am feeling something for her." Steve said to himself as he stepped out of the shower. He quickly dried himself off and threw on a pair of boxers and a pair of dark grey sweat pants. Steve walked out of his bathroom and into his bedroom. Steve did not notice a pair of light purple eyes watching him from a dark corner.
Quinn had talked to Fury as soon as she had gotten back. Fury did not like ho she was not listening to the team leader, Captain America. Quinn never told Fury about what had happened between her and Steve on the plane and how she had a bound with him now. That was really not supposed to happen at all! Fury had gotten the files on her from the lab after she had joined shield and shield shut down the lab. The notes weren't really sure what would happen if she drank human blood and formed a bond with a person. They had given her something so she could change her wing size as well in the lab besides making her want to drink blood. Now she sat in the darkness watching Steve sleeping. She slowly got up and was heading to the door, when she heard Steve calling out something and his body flinching as if he was pain. Quinn leaned over him and whispered in his ear.
"It is all right, Steve. You are safe and nothing is going to happen to you."
"Peggy…I…have… Quinn." Steve mumbled
Quinn felt a sharp tug at her heart and was in shock. She stood there and watched as Steve shook. Quinn could not move at all and she saw that Steve was starting to open up his eyes. Steve woke up and looked into Quinn's eyes as she looked at him.
"What are you doing here?" Steve asked
"I heard you yelling and came to see if you were alright. I am sorry to intrude and just wanted to make sure you were ok." Quinn replied
"You should be asleep. Why aren't you?" Steve asked
"I have nightmares or bad memories where I am back at the lab having experiments done to me." Quinn answered
"When do you ever sleep?" Steve asked
"Hardly ever, sometimes I sleep during the day if I can. Most of the time I don't sleep at all. I only ever slept at the lab when one of my friends slept next to me. It made me relax, calm down, and feel safe." Quinn explained
Steve looked at her and felt a little bad for her. Quinn was wearing a black tank top with purple pajama pants. She looked like an innocent child, who was lost and lonely. It made her look cute and adorable. Steve pulled over off the blanket and mover over to the right side of the bed. "You can sleep with me." Steve said as he patted the stop next to him. Quinn climbed in and laid down. Steve covered them up and waited until she fell asleep before falling asleep himself.
