This is another piece you're been waiting for. Jade officially speaks to Captain America.
Thank you Three Days Grace for keeping me out of trouble.
Loki and Steve arrived at the storage area where Jade was hiding. It was darker than usual; maybe she had broken one of the lights.
"You'll find her down there," said Loki.
Steve nodded and walked in as Loki turned around to go back to the bridge. Steve understood, because they both knew he could handle this all on his own. He walked slowly and quietly through the room, and listened carefully for any signs of her being close; that was until he heard some breathing, and the sound of a woman's voice. He looked over and saw Jade still idling, and apparently mumbling to herself. Steve quietly walked over to her making sure not to startle her, his heart was beating hard as he gently placed his hand on hers.
Jade quickly turned around only to once again make eye contact with Captain America; the exact same eye contact as when he saved her from the water the day of the funeral. Oddly enough she didn't run or fight, she just stood there almost swooning while Steve looked deep into her eyes. He knew there was something he liked about her; she was beautiful, and it was her sapphire blue eyes. Yes, there was a big spark between them, a very big spark. Jade then snapped herself back.
"Captain," she said smiling.
"I can tell you're speechless," said Steve, "just like the other day when I saved you Jade."
"You found out my name," Jade smiled. "You know that's the second time you saved me. The first time was a week ago."
"Were you one of the trapped civilians in the bank?" asked Steve. Jade nodded. "I guess there were so many people I just couldn't spot you."
"And you were busy saving the city," Jade added. "Now that we're talking about it, I want to thank you; not just for saving me during the devastation, but for saving me from the water."
"No problem," Steve replied. He then spotted her necklace. "Just out of curiosity, where did you get that?"
"My dad gave it to me," Jade answered. "He and I shared a liking of you."
"Now that we're on the subject of your dad," Steve interjected, "Fury told me your dad wanted me to look after you if anything happened to him."
"That does sound like something he would say," Jade smiled. "You were his idol for the longest time, he trusted you. That's why he was happy when he found out I was chosen to be injected with the serum, because he knew in a way I would be like you."
After a while, they both walked to the bridge together, both receiving curious looks from everybody. But the rest of the Avengers kindly greeted her as she came in.
"I remember seeing you at the funeral," said Clint, "but I had no idea you and Phil were blood related. He never mentioned you."
"I was kept a secret from everyone here at Shield because he wanted to keep me safe," Jade replied. "The only people who already knew about me are Director Fury and Agent Hill. Agent Hill is almost like a surrogate mother to me, because I never knew my mom."
She then walked over to Thor, and gently placed her hand over his black eye.
"You pack quite a wallop," he said, "it's good."
"Thanks," said Jade.
"You must have a pretty good skill set," said Natasha.
"I do," Jade answered. "I have the ability to heal any form of injury within five seconds with just a touch; and not only can I bite hard and give a wicked hard punch, I have the ability to see what's going on in people's minds, what's really in their hearts, and I can always see where enemies are, even when they're close. That's how I came up with my asset; I am known as Solid Heart."
She then walked over to Loki, and cured the bite mark on his arms.
"Sorry about the bite," she said. "You and Thor were unfamiliar to me, so I had to defend myself."
"I can understand that," said Loki.
"I don't blame you for my dad's death," Jade continued. "I blame myself."
Everyone shot confused looks at Jade.
"How is it your fault?" asked Banner.
"When the tesseract started to act up, my dad got the emergency call from Shield asking him to come in. He hesitated to tell them he'll go; but he didn't want to leave me because he said I was important, but then I told him his job was important as well and that they needed him. I made him go, I sent him to his doom."
Steve gently laid his hand on Jade's shoulder for comfort.
"I say he sent himself to his death," said Stark. Jade shot a glare at him.
"Tony, don't," said Loki.
"You're dad went up against Loki all on his own," Stark continued, "he may have been brave, but there was a bit of fear in the way he spoke to him."
Loki dropped his head into his hand, unhappy with what was just said. Jade however, was very angry.
"Wow Stark. It's like I won't dig my nails into the rim of that thing and yank it right out of your chest!" she threatened which shocked everybody. "My dad was a single parent working his ass off to take care of his only child, a.k.a me! My mom died giving birth to me because she was already sick! And now my dad is dead and it's all my fault!"
With that, Jade turned around, and disappeared again. Everybody cast angry looks at Stark, Banner just shook his head, and Steve was angrier than ever; in fact he was just as angry as the day he defeated the head of Hydra 70 years prior.
"Well that was nicely handled," Thor said angrily.
"You just don't know when to shut up do you Stark?" Steve growled. "I'll go get her."
"Why you?" asked Clint.
"Because she's my responsibility," Steve answered. "Fury told me Phil Coulson wanted me to look after Jade if anything happened to him. I will do anything to make her happy, and to help her keep her anger under control so that nobody will get hurt."
Steve turned around and walked out, leaving everyone speechless. He knew he had to find a way to keep Stark from being his usual arrogant self, and find a way to make Jade happy, and he knew exactly how to do that. He just needed to find her first.
