Enjoy.
Disclaimer: Slowly planning to capture them all, but as for now, I do not own Avengers. Just Eve.
Panic.
It seems to be second nature of what you feel when you are falling. But for Eve, she knew instinctively what to do.
Gathering wind around her, she formed a bubble around herself before she impacted the rubble. Her eyes squeezed shut; she slowly opened them to see that she was safe. Allowing the wind to slowly set her on the rubble, Eve glanced up, noticing the big hole in the once lab room for Doctor Banner. Panic then set in again, where was Banner and the rest of the team?
"Doctor Banner," A female voice came from behind her.
Eve whirled around, seeing Banner and Natasha, Natasha being pinned under the rubble.
"You guys okay?" Eve asked, beginning to help Natasha from the rubble. Natasha struggled, glancing worriedly at the Doctor. Banner grumbled, crouching low while trying to calm himself.
"Bruce?" Natasha whispered, staring wide-eye at the man. Without even noticing, Eve managed to pull Natasha out before she heard a loud roar next to her. She froze, glancing at the once man who turned into the green Hulk.
"Is it too late to get back to the Caribbean's?" Eve spoke, slowly backing away.
"Run!" Natasha screamed, grabbing Eve's arm roughly, dashing through the hallways.
Hot on their trail Banner, or Hulk, was thundering behind them. Natasha pushed Eve one way through the hallways as she kept running straight. Eve quickly hid in one of the rooms, away from Hulk's prying eyes, feeling guilty that she can't help Widow. Hulk's mini earthquakes vibrated throughout her body as he passed her and after a safe distance away, Eve came out of hiding. Running throughout the many hallways, desperate to find people, she ran into someone.
Glancing up she noticed it was a SHEILD agent, until he cocked his gun at her and shot her in the shoulder.
Pain coursed through Eve, blood spewing from the wound.
She heard the man reload his gun again, aiming at her head, until something knocked him over out cold. Glancing at Captain America's shield, she looked at the very man that saved her life.
"Steve!" Eve cried, hugging the man around his neck. She felt his big arms enclose her small frame compared to his.
"Oh shit," Eve yelped, jumping away from him and grabbed onto her bad shoulder, "That was a bad idea."
Steve removed her hand and inspected the wound, "You need to go to the medic."
Worry rang through his voice, Eve shook her head, "I doubt I can get any medical attention with what's going on around her. Besides, why is a SHEILD agent attacking me?"
"Our enemy dressed up as SHEILD to throw us off of who's good or not," Steve explained, "But I'm glad you're okay, for the most part."
Eve grinned, "Back at you, pervert."
Steve cleared his throat, shaking his head, "That was just a big misunderstanding, ma'am."
"Eve," The female corrected, smacking his arm playfully, "Must I keep reminding you, Captain?"
"Steve," The male replied, giving Eve a small smile. He bent down; ripping off some of the guy's shirt from the floor, wrapping Eve's wound.
Wincing a little, she thanked him noticing their close proximity. Steve's eyes studied her face as Eve glanced up at him. He began to notice her doe-like eyes, small button nose, the red tint in her cheeks and the way she was biting her bottom lip.
"Steve.." Eve whispered, staring into the man's eyes. She stood up on her toes, placing her hand on his chest. Steve's arm snaked around her waist, pulling her close. Eve could feel his heart pounding through his chest, like a drum. She closed her eyes, waiting for the distance to close. Then—
"Captain, a little assistance," Starks voice rang through Steve's earpiece. Jumping away from each other, as if Tony was actually right there catching them in the act.
Clearing his throat, "I better get going," Steve whispered, nodding at the female.
"Keep safe," Eve said breathlessly watching his retreating figure.
'Oh, I never noticed his butt,' Eve tilted her head sideways, catching a good look.
Eve ran through the hallways once more, thankfully not running into any sort of trouble. She then ended up near Loki's holding cell, surprised that Thor was in the glass chamber.
"Thor!" Eve ran up to the glass, banging on it.
"No, Eve! Get away now!" Thor ordered, and then she felt someone grab the back of her shirt and walked over to the control panel.
"A tiny human," A voice observed. Eve stiffened, Loki.
"Put her down," Another voice rang out, but with confidence. Glancing over, there was Coulson, with a ..huge gun.
"Don't point that thing at me," Eve yelped, struggling against the demi god's grip. Suddenly gasped in terror when Coulson was stabbed, crumbling to the floor. Tears weld up in Eve's eyes, disbelief shook her.
"Coulson!" She screeched. He sat there, smiling at her and nodded tears slipping down her cheeks, taking deep breaths, or attempting to so her nerves will calm down. Struggling more against Loki's grip, she yelled at Coulson to not clock out, that it wasn't time yet. They still had so many adventures to obtain, to endure Fury's icy gaze, to meet his friend, Pepper.
"Agent Coulson," Fury stepped forward to the man, "Meet Eve."
Eve stood a bit away, anxiety chewing at her. She was always afraid of first interactions, never wanting to upset people or get them to hate her. Standing still, she watched as Agent Coulson held out his hand to her, "Nice to meet you, Eve. Welcome to SHEILD."
Eve bit her cheek, extending her arm out to shake Coulson's hand, "Thank you," she quipped.
"If you don't mind, Coulson, show her around the base," Fury said, more like commanding him.
Coulson nodded, "Right this way."
"Petty humans and emotions," Loki grumbled.
Over time, Phil and Eve became close friends instantly. She would listen to him rave on about his Captain America trading cards and how he got to watch Steve Rogers sleep.
Joking about how creepy and unusual that is, Eve never let it down. She loved to tease Coulson as he did her, growing into a brother/sister bond, she was glad to have him by her side when dealing with Fury. As Fury would always scold her about taking too many days off to sit about in beaches or going off to random places on Earth when she should be doing missions.
"That's what Widow and Hawkeye are there for," Eve said, throwing up her arms.
Earning more missions to count, Coulson would try to help her the best he could.
These memories of Coulson flashed in her mind, she couldn't think of losing someone so dear to her.
Eve bowed her head, glaring at the floor. How dare Loki do this to her and everyone? Courting chaos and watching like an audience, how disgusting. Growling at the thought, Eve kicked Loki in the stomach, forcing him to release his grip on her. Loki stumbled over to the control panel and glared at Eve. He flipped open the switch and pressed the red button. Eve felt the air suck Thor out of the ship inside the glass cage, Loki walking over to her, pushing her down the hole as well.
Free falling off a plane always seemed fun to Eve, but not from a huge metal contraption SHEILD built and pretty much plummeting to her death. Halfway down her fall, she gathered the wind around her. Forming a bubble, she was safe, but didn't plan on falling into the ocean while seeing Thor falling onto the earth. As the fall felt like eternity, a few seconds later, she hit the water. Her bubble shattered and water engulfed her.
Eve pushed herself upwards, reaching the surface and taking deep breaths. She froze the water beneath her, allowing her to stand above the water. Making a pathway to shore, Eve headed for Thor to make sure he was okay.
Steve slammed his hands against the table.
"What do you mean she's gone?" He raged, the Captain America cards flew away from the blow.
"What I mean is, Loki pushed her into the trap we had for him. The glass cage we set had Thor in it and the air sucked them out," Fury explained to the male.
"So what does this mean?" Stark asked.
"Hopefully Thor got her in time," Agent Hill replied quietly.
The small group sat in silence, Steve hoping that Eve made it out safe.
As I was watching Avengers again, a girl sitting right next to me asked out loud, "Where's Spiderman?"
