Natasha laid back on Sarah's soft white bed spread. Looking up at the celling thinking about everything that was going on. Some people thought saving the world was hard, well who knew real life was so much harder. Natasha was at Sarah's house because she need someone to talk to the A) Wasn't a man and B) Didn't live with her. B was only because words spread fast in a house where everyone is basically a friendemi. Natasha chuckled slightly. It was almost like high school all over again.
Sarah walked over to the bed and laid beside her fire red haired friend. It was nice to have someone she could talk to. "Love sucks." Natasha said bluntly. Sarah smirked. "Life sucks." Natasha laughed a little too. "Everything sucks." The two laughed at their misfortune. What else could they do? "Should we cry?" Natasha asked, looking at Sarah sideways. Sarah looked at her as well thinking about it. "Do you want to cry?" Natasha looked back up at the celling. "I don't know. I feel like I should be though." Sarah nodded in agreement. They laid there in silence for a few moments. "Anything yet?" Natasha shook her head. "Nope." Sarah shrugged. "We tried." Natasha sat up and turned to face Sarah. "So what are you going to do about...that?" She pointed at Sarah's stomach, poking her slightly. Sarah sat up and rested her head in her hands. "I have no idea. I cant tell Tony now, hes engaged. I'm not a home wrecker." Natasha rolled her eyes. "Technically he isn't married yet, and besides clearly you had him first." Sarah shook her head. "No..no I didn't. Tony cheated on Pepper with me. I have no idea if Pepper knows or not. I just got so lonely you know? Tony was the one I knew wouldn't get attached in the end. I figured I wouldn't either and I'm not but.." Sarah rubbed at her face with her hands, as if doing so would wash away everything she was feeling at the moment. "But, I am having a baby, and he has the right to know that, but how do you tell someone you care about, something that's suppose to be wonderful, knowing it will be some of the most shocking and terrible news of their life." Natasha put her hand on Sarah's shoulder. "I'm sure this wouldn't be the most terrible."
Sarah looked at Natasha with sad eyes. "What about Clint. You have been avoiding him for over a week now." Natasha got up and began to pace the hardwood floor of Sarah's room. "Don't even get me started. I know my situation isn't as bad as yours but I'm lost. I think I love Clint but I cant be. We live such similar lives and the idea of him dieing everyday kills me. I know hes a pro and I shouldn't be to worried but I cant help it. We almost died, we almost were taken over by and Alien race! I cant stand the idea of coming home and find out Clint wont be." Sarah got up and grabbed Natasha's hand to stop her from pacing. "Nat, you love Clint, it doesn't matter if your in a relationship, not a relationship, if you move away and never come back. You love him. No matter where you are or what kind of relationship you have with him, that isn't going to change. You wont stop being worried if your not with him. You wont be afraid, just because your in a relationship, you'll be afraid because your in love." Sarah chuckled slightly. "I remember a rhyme my mother used to tell me. Sticks and stones are hard on bones aimed with angry art, words can sting like anything, but silence brakes the heart." Natasha looked at Sarah with a small frown. "I'm not the only one being Silent."
Steve sat on the couch, flipping threw the channels on the television screen. There was so many of them since he had been frozen, yet he could hardly ever find anything interesting to watch. Steve looked at the time on the screen. 2:37pm. Bruce came and sat down next to him. "Anything interesting?" He asked in a bored tone. Steve looked at Bruce while handing him the remote. "Not really, but your welcome to look." Bruce took the remote and started to flip. Steve all of a sudden felt a buzzing sensation in his pocket. Reaching in he looked at the phone Tony had insisted he get. One new text message. Is what displayed on the screen. Steve still hadn't go used to the phone yet, so it took him a while to actually open the message.

Hey Steve, wanted 2 know if u wanted to go to dinner with me.
Steve didn't know how to respond. Not just the fact that the question was unexpected, but he really didn't know how to respond. "Hey Bruce, how do you respond to these?" Steve showed Bruce the phone. Bruce's eyebrows went up. "Did Sarah just ask you out on a date?" Steve blushed slightly. "I don't know, she just wants to have dinner, now how do I respond?" Bruce chuckled. "You click this." He said pointing to a symbol and clicking it for him.

Sure! Just let me know how you want to do this.
Steve felt his phone buzz again, but this time repeatedly. He looked at it to see she was calling him.
"Hello?"
"Hey Steve, its me, hows five?"
"That's fine, do you want me to pick you up? Where did you wanna go?"
" Sure you can, um hows Italian sound, Calisino?"
"Great I will see you a little later."
"OK bye!"
"Bye." I love you. Steve thought to himself after she already hung up. "So is it a date?" Bruce asked again. Steve rolled his eyes. "I don think so." Loki and Thor walk into the room casually. Bruce looks at them. "Steve's got a hot date." Bruce found it funny to see peoples reactions at him acting like this. He had never been one to really poke fun at people but for some reason, though it was clearly out of his character, he couldn't help it. Thor raised an eyebrow. "Who is the Maiden he is escorting?" Thor found it odd, since he never really saw Steve with a female companion. Bruce smiled. "Sarah!" Thor looked at Steve who now held his head in his hands, hiding his face. Loki scoffed. " I doubt it will become anything. Especially what you humans consider 'hot'" Bruce eyed Loki. "Oh really, hows that? You jealous?" Loki glared at the scientist. "Jealousy is beyond me." Bruce looked at him unconvinced. "Yeah. that's why you tried to take over the world when your brother was given a crown." Loki's fist clenched and Thor put a hand on his shoulder. Loki pushed it off and stalked away. Thor gave Bruce as soft look. "You shouldn't provoke him." Bruce sighed. "Sorry." Thor simply nodded and walked off, thinking of what might happen on this 'hot date'.
Pepper helped brush back Steve's hair and fix his collar. "You look so handsome." Steve smiled down at her. "Thank you." Tony walked in and raised an eyebrow. "Going somewhere?" Steve opened his mouth to answer but Pepper got to it first. "Hes got a date with Sarah!" Tony looked at Steve sharply. Trying his best not to show any type of anger. His jaw clenched slightly before speaking. "Well isn't that..nice." Tony eyed Steve up and down, examining him. Pepper sighed. "Does he not look to your standards?" Tony laughed. "He could never meet my standards Pep." Tony kissed the top of her head before making his way to the bathroom. Pepper rolled her eyes. "Well I think you look great."
Sarah examined herself in the mirror. Hair nice, not to much makeup, small baby bump hidden well.
Sarah looked at the time 5:07pm. Just then a buzz sound came from the door. "Hello?" She said into the speaker. "Hey its me." Sarah herd Steve's voice on the other end. "OK I'll be down in a sec." Quickly she made her way down to him. Steve smiled when he saw her. "Hey Sarah, beautiful as always." Sarah smiled. She loved Steve's kindness. "Hey handsome." He blushed ever so slightly. They got into the car and made there way to the restaurant. The place was low lit and cozy. When they were seated it didn't take them long to place their orders and wait in silence. Steve looked at Sarah who was gazing out the window beside them. "So what made you chose me as a dinner partner? My dashing smile and good looks? Sarah laughed lightly. "Something like that."
Steve took hold of Sarah's hand. "Are you OK? You seem..I don't know, out of it." Sarah adjusted her hands around Steve's and rubbed her thumbs on his. "Can I tell you something, without you turning on me?" Steve looked at her confused, what could she do or say that would make him do that. "Of course you can Sarah." Sarah took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant...and its Tony's." Steve felt his heart stop. "Wha-..when..what?" Sarah hushed him. "Shhhhh.. see this was a mistake I shouldn't have brought it up.." Steve waved his hands stopping her. "No no no! I'm sorry, I'm just surprised and all." Sarah ran her hair threw her fingers. "I know, I didn't mean to spring that on you...It was while we were still trying to stop Loki.." Steve sighed in relief. "OK, so this wasn't recent." Sarah shook her head no. "It doesn't make it any better though. I'm pregnant, and he is engaged." Steve took in the details. "Does he know?" Sarah shook her head again. "No, but he is going to figure it out soon. I'm not getting any thinner." Steve's mind raced. He wanted to help Sarah, he wanted to make it better. "I don't want to hurt anyone Steve, but it feels like no matter which way I turn there is no avoiding it." Steve looked up at Sarah intensely. "Say its mine." Sarah nearly choked on air. "Say whats yours?" Her eyes where wide and Steve knew he was a little to blunt with the statement. "I'm sorry, but just hear me out. I care about you Sarah, like..a lot, and Tony, he cant be a parent. Even if he did know and he accepted it, Pepper.. I haven't known her very long but I would imagine, it would brake her heart. I don't know if you feel the same way torwds me, and maybe you don't, maybe your in love with Tony but I love you, clearly more than he would. Say the baby is mine. No one gets hurt, no one is left alone. I would take care of you, hell I would even marry you someday..that is..if you'll let me." Sarah couldn't breath. She expected a lecture, and the alot of sympathy but not this. He loved her? Did she love him? If not could she grow to love him as he did her?
Sarah couldn't take the tension anymore. Out of the moment she reached over the table, grabbing Steve's head and pulled him into a longing kiss. It was sweet and calming. They pulled away slowly, not looking away from each others eyes. "I'm sorry I just-" Sarah began, but Steve put up a hand to stop her. "Its OK." Sarah folded her hands on the table and took another deep breath. "Steve I am not going to lie and say I love you because I don't know if I do. What I do know, is that anyone who is willing to do, what you are asking to do with me, is worth putting all the effort in trying to love. To be honest it would probably be smart of me to love you. And I'm sorry if that sounds bad. What I'm saying..is if you are sure you want to do this, if your sure you want to take such a big step with me, I will let you. And I'm willing to try falling in love with you in the process." Sarah's heart was pounding. She never thought Steve cared so much, she never knew. Yet here he was, sitting directly in front of her, asking her to simply give him half of her problems. Steve smiled. He was happy. Even if it wasn't the planned attempt, he had Sarah. "Heres your food!" The waitress said handing them their plates.
Sarah went home with Steve that night. They entered the Building with heated kisses and passion. No one was wake but them, but that would soon not be the case. The loud moans, and groans woke Thor, Loki, Tony and Pepper. At first they ignored it but it soon came to be to much, for to long. Soon all 3 men were making their way to Steve's room, Pepper following closely trying to stop them. Making her way to the front of them she stopped in front of Steve's door, blocking the entrance. Tony glared at her. "Move Pep' Steve needs to stop it with the Porn and go to sleep." Pepper raised her finger to the boys telling them to wait. Carefully she opened the door and peaked inside. Quickly she shut it with a look of shock on her face. Thor raised an eyebrow, was it such a distruping sight?" Tony grabbed his fiances shoulder. "Pep' its just porn, if you didn't want to see that you shouldn't of peaked." Pepper shook her head quickly. "Not porn." Now Tony raised an eyebrow. "He is with someone...who?" Pepper looked at him like he was stupid. "Who do you think! Its Sarah! Remember they were on a date tonight!" Loki stepped forward. "How did he accomplish this?" Thor raised both his brows in shock. "Brother, things are done differently here on earth, it appears this is one of them." Loki scoffed. "Ridiculous." Loki stomped off back to his room but Thor and Tony stayed. Toney couldnt believe Sarah would sleep with Steve. The thought angered him, but what could he do? Make a scene over a woman who wasnt his? No. Pepper grabed him arm and pulled him back towrd the bedroom. "Let them have their fun, clearly they have been waiting to do that for a while." This didnt settle Tonys anger. Waiting for a long time, heh.
Thor stood at the door akwardly listening to the noises coming from the room. Noises he was hopping would be coming from him rather than Steve. Steve had bested him, and for that he gave kutos. It wasnt often it happened. Having herd enough from the 2 Thor simply want to bed, placing a pillow over his head helped block the noise as he fell asleep.
Loki stared at the Celling, listening to every moan. He thought of all the ways he would like to kill Steve. Slowly and painfully for touching something he was certin would soon belong to him. It wasnt much longer when the noice calmed down and Loki could stop being tourchered. Looking at the clock placed besides his bed the time read, 2:13am. Loki rolled his eyes. Who has sex for that long?
