She hadn't meant to do it. Really. It was just a reflex.

And now everyone was staring at her again.

Their attention had been stolen from her earlier when Captain America began with the standard hero/villain witty banter, and a woman (Black Widow, if she had to guess) had shown up in some sort of helicopter. Everyone had looked to the superheroes, hoping to be saved quickly.

Then Loki had to go and shoot some strange blue light thingy at the weird helicopter. In retaliation, Captain America threw his shield at Loki. And her, by extension, seeing as she was right next to the maniac.

That would have been fine—she wasn't standing so close to him to be hit should anything go wrong—but unfortunately, she hadn't thought about that. She just reacted. Which was, apparently, the worst possible thing she could have done, if the giant fucking machine guns aimed at her were anything to go by.

Really, she thinks the guns are a bit of an overreaction. All she did was create a practically impenetrable pink barrier around herself and a crazed megalomaniac in defense from the good guys trying to save the world.

It's not that bad, right?


AN: Kagome just keeps making things worse for herself, doesn't she?
