Disclaimer: Not mine. It belongs to those back-stabbing bastards at Marvel.
I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with myself. When I ran I wasn't expecting to last this long without the Avengers finding me. After a month, I kind of hope they forget about me. But do I want them to forget about me? Could I have had a life with them? Bucky was lways nice to me. And Steve wasn't to bad. NO. Remember. Barnes thinks I'm Hydra, and Cap killed my brother. They are not people I should care about.
I managed to find a nice place back in London. I had lots of fake passports, so I could get past airport security without question. And I know my way round London, it's my hometown. I even got a job. I work at a bank, helping people open accounts and stuff. It is the most boring thing ever, but at least it lets me afford my flat. I can build a life here. Without soulmates. Because I don't need them. I don't. It's not like I'm lonely or anything…or that I still dream about being in both their arms. Nope. Not at all.
Steve
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Pepper asks us.
Bucky and I look at eachother, confirming one last time that it's the right thing to do, and then nod.
"Alright, I'll make the phone call."
God I hope this works.
Everly
I look up startled as I hear my name on TV, along with a picture. Turning the volume up, I listen to what they're saying.
"We've just got news the Everly Abrams, age 27, is both Captain America's and the Winter Soldier's soulmate!"
The other presenter turns to her, "Wow, imagine being soulmated to those two. She must be very lucky."
"Well, here's what's interesting Susan: she ran away. So, if anyone can help Captain America and the Winter Soldier find their soulmate, phone the number below. Even if you only saw her once, it will help them a lot."
"That's so sweet Carol, that they both want to find her so desperately."
"Well, I'd want to find my soulmate too if I'd been waiting more than 70 years."
The continue to talk about random nonsense, but I'm frozen in fear. Those bastards told the media on me. Hopefully no one will notice that its me though. I've been wearing my hair tight in a bun, and not down, like in the picture, and I've been wearing blue contacts. Also, I go by Sadie now.
So, hoping no one will notice me, I go to work.
"Hey Sadie, you see this thing on the news this morning?"
"What thing?" I ask, trying not to show my panic.
"Captain America and the Winter Soldier have a soulmate!"
"What? That's crazy!" I try to act as enthusiastic as her, but I don't think I quite accomplish it.
"I know right? Also, you've got a massive customer coming at 12."
"Who?"
She giggles, "It's a surprise!"
Well, this will make my day a bit more interesting.
I suffer through children jumping on the table, exhasporated parents, and an old person who doesn't understand money, until finally twelve o'clock comes. Three people walk towards my desk, a small dark haired woman, a taller lighter haired woman, and a massive blonde man, with his hair tied into a pony tail. He looks slightly familiar. He's fit. Like, I'd let him do whatever he wanted to me fit. Almost as fit as- NOPE. No thinking about them at work.
"Hi, I'm Jane, this is Darcy, and, I'm sure you've heard of Thor."
The dark brunette waves, and Thor nods his head. Wait. Thor. As in THOR thor. As in, Avenger. As in my soulmates friend. What? Oh god. Don't panic. Keep calm.
"I'm Sadie, what is it that you want to do today?"
"Well, we wanted to open an account for Thor."
"Yes, you see, I'm not from this realm, and don't have any currency in holding."
"Wait, that's why we're here?" Darcy asks, "I thought we were coming to get Thor to show his muscles and distract them while we took the money."
I choke a laugh at that.
"If you're bored Darcy, go do something else, I told you that you wouldn't need to come."
"Ugh, fine." Darcy walks off and gets her phone out.
I start going through the procedures, and how much money he needs to already put in there and all of that stuff. If I can just get through this, then I can quit, find another job. No need to ever have a connection to an Avenger again.
Darcy walks over, on a video message with someone.
"Yeah, we're opening a bank account for Thor. Look, this is Sadie, she hasn't even asked for an autograph yet, which I think is weird."
She points the camera to me, and I hear a barely audible "oh my god.". FUCK. I know that voice. That's Steve. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
"Darcy, that's her! That's my soulmate!"
I jump up as he shouts it, and start running. Why am I running again? Oh yeah. They think I'm Hydra. And the Captain killed my brother.
I get out of the building, hearing shouts from other bankers, and I run towards my flat. I guess I have to leave again now. Ugh. I like it here.
Suddenly, There's a clash of Thunder and Thor is standing infront of me. Cape flying and hammer in hand.
"Fuck."
"You're the Lady Everly? Steve and Bucky's soulmate?"
"Urm… no?"
Jane and Darcy come running up to us, both out of breath, Darcy still holding her phone up.
I'm trapped. Thor on one side, and the two women on the other. And my bun fell out while I was running, so not only have I lost a lot of pins, but my hairs now showing. We're attracting a crowd, people exclaiming that I'm Steve and Bucky's soulmate, and getting their phones out to record.
There's no where to run.
I only have one option. I let my guard down, for the first time in a month, and hear Steve gasp at the sudden third emotion he's feeling. I also hear the chatter of ghosts. So many. All on this one road. Each of them look up at me suddenly, and crowd towards me.
"Can you help me?"
"I don't know what happened to me."
"Please help me."
So many voices.
"I'll help all of you. Just please, help me get away first." I plead with them.
They start to crowd around the three surrounding me. But all of a sudden Thor brings his hammer down to the ground and all the ghosts disappear. What the fuck. How did he just send them back to their bodies?
"They told me about your ability. I must say, I'm very impressed."
I look around, panicked.
And then I'm tasered in the back.
I wake up 4 hours later, according to my watch, and am on a plane. Well, not really a plane, more like a jet. But it feels like we've landed. Thor, Darcy and Jane are sitting there, all staring at me.
"I tasered you." Darcy says, smiling.
I just blink at her. I'm done. I am so thoroughly done.
The floor sort of opens to make a ramp, and the two people I've been avoiding for a month walk up. I try to stand up, but find I'm cuffed to the chair. And my hands are cuffed together as well.
They both come over and stand in front of me, and I'm again struck by their absolute beauty.
"Long time no see, guys."
A/N: I watched Endgame (no spoilers don't worry). I'm dead inside. I'm literally still crying about it. The Russo Brothers are evil.
