Chapter 2: Wishes Granted and Brock Rumlow's delima
It had been about a week since Michel Peterson and the 0-8-4 incident and Tera finding out that Phil Coulson was alive. Now Tera was back in DC and was currently planning on a special little girl's wish much to Alexander Pierce and the Council's amusement and Fury's horror. Mainly because S.T.R.I.K.E team was going to play bodyguard and escort for said little girl. Which took a lot of Becky's constant begging to Brock which wasn't much. Her daughter had Rumlow wrapped around her finger and everyone knew it. If Rebecca asked Brock to strip down and dance naked on Fury's desk with just a bat of her lashes and a pout on her lips then Brock would do it. Steve and S.T.R.I.K.E were just getting back from a mission when Emily, Brandy's mother called "Hey Emily is the special girl ready?" she asked
"She is, I am sure your daughter being there will put her at ease but I saw S.T.R.I.K.E in New York. And I have to say a lot of them are scary." Emily said
"They have to be in their line of work," Tera replied.
They were all to head to the park, camera crews as far as the eye could see were covering the event. It was quite mind blowing, to be honest, one reporter saw the Howling Commandos walk up all in their classic uniforms for the exception of Steve. His was sitting in the Smithsonian and they wouldn't let him borrow it for the day. So, he would have to wear the S.H.I.E.L.D issued one much to his regret. It wasn't the Howling Commandos without Cap's original uniform and not the spandex. Sweet Odin above would she find herself troubled to behave herself with him wearing that! Tera had kept her word on not telling the others about Coulson as a reporter asked: "Tera, how does it feel for you to be granting this little girls wish after two weeks of getting the go ahead from Make A Wish?"
"Children are our future, though many have illnesses that cannot be treated because we have not discovered a way to cure it. If we can make one girl's wish come true today then it's good enough for me. A lot of these children have made wishes only to have them filled by someone else because we were unavailable, make a wish never approached any of us. Now that Tony has handled that issue than heaven helps the fool to tell us no." she said.
It wasn't no lie that S.T.R.I.K.E team were some of the nastiest bastards on the planet when it came to killing someone, so as soon as Brock stepped out with a serious look on his face the reporters kept their mouths shut as he walked to the middle SUV and opened the back passenger side door to let the girl's mother out. Tony and the others waited as Becky shifted into her wolf form. Seeing Brandy's little outfit was so adorable, it was a mini version of hers that she currently wore "Well isn't she cute." Tony gushed.
Brandy rode astride Becky's back in the center of a four man team consisting of Brock and Jack at the front River and Blake at the back. Brock stopped in front of her "Package is delivered." Brock said into his head set
"Good now return to base for debriefing I will wait on Roger's tomorrow." came the voice of a very annoyed Director Fury.
Brandy begrudgingly got off Rebecca's back who put a paw over her shoulder in a hug before turning to walk off beside Brock occasionally hitting Commander Rumlow in the backside. Brandy's eyes widened as Tera knelt down "Nice uniform pup." she said.
Brandy launched herself into her arms as everyone awed, laughed, or cheered.
DXDXDXDXDXDX
The day with Brandy was an eye opener to Steve, there were still so many illnesses out there and not many had a cure as of yet. To see the once healthy girl wither away to nothing pulled at Steve's heart strings just a little bit. When it was time for the girl to leave S.T.R.I.K.E returned for an encore and the Avengers went their spread ways. Steve watched as Tera entered their apartment as her shoulders fell "Fury is going to find a way to make me pay for that isn't he?" she asked
"Not that I know of, I know the council wouldn't allow it. They thought it was a good idea," he said walking up behind her and wrapping his arms around her shoulders in a loving manner.
Tera leaned into his chest all the more "You know during that whole thing, I think you handled yourself really well." she said turning to face him
"Oh?" he asked.
Tera nodded and ran a finger over the pattern of his star on his broad chest "I did." she began, "Though I really wished you wore your uniform from the war."
Steve chuckled "That wasn't the only one you wanted me in." he pointed out.
Tera arched a brow at him innocently "What ever do you mean?" she asked
"You wanted to see me in my old spandex one admit it." he said kissing the top of her head.
Tera sighed "Maybe I did, though I am grateful that you wore that instead. I don't think I could control myself if you wore that damn thing." she admitted
"You bad girl you." he laughed
"You love it and you know it Captain." she said.
Steve chuckled and let out a heavy sigh "The touch starved serum isn't working for Becky anymore." she said
"I have noticed, I am about ready to knock Rumlow in the head with my shield to open his damn eyes," Steve said.
Tera laughed "No doubt that you would." she said.
DXDXDXDXDXDX
Later that night Tera and Steve sat on the roof of the apartment building enjoying laying on their blanket looking up at the stars, their arms wrapped around the other as the moon bathed them in its pre-full moon glow. Tera nuzzled closer to Steve only to feel his hard on "Well, we can always talk about the first thing that pops up." she joked.
Steve laughed and pulled Tera into a kiss, their love over flowing under the light of the moon.

S.T.R.I.K.E floor Trliskilon tower
Brock Rumlow couldn't sleep. He looked at the files that he was to turn into Fury. He was tired. Tired of the lies, tired of the killing, tired of not holding her...his Becky. Right now Becky was on leave and had left for New York. Brock had no one to blame than himself. A single tear rolled down his cheek as he thought of the sad look on her face as she left. How much longer were they going to tip toe around each other. Brock knew damn well that neither one of them could keep their distance away from the other for long he knew he had to tell her how he felt before the shit hit the fan.
Brock Rumlow had one hell of a delima on his hands...
