"You're up." Maria called out as Steve looked up in surprise from where he was leading the people to the lifeboats and there, he also saw another armor-clad figure fly out of the Helicarrier.
The Captain grinned at the sight he was seeing, especially when he heard Rhodey join their communication line, saying enthusiastically. "Yes! Now this is gonna be a good story."
"Yep! If you live to tell it." Tony quipped as he appeared beside War Machine.
"You think I can't hold my own?" Rhodey shot back.
"We get through this, I'll hold your own." The billionaire replied while Steve slightly shook his head when he hears the two-armor clad figures bickering.
"You have to make it weird." Rhodey commented, voicing Steve's thoughts at this.
The super-soldier smiled briefly before he became serious once more then dashes towards the guard, telling him to assist the civilians to go inside before continuing to help the passengers onto the life boat up until the last passenger got on board. After he gets all the people inside the lifeboat, he called out. "Alright, we're good to go!"
"Number six boat is topped and locked." Specialist Klein confirmed over the comms. "Or, uh or stocked." He added, stuttering nervously. "Topped. It… it's uh, full of people."
Steve mentally raised his eyebrow at that former agent's words but quickly shrugged it off before directing the people into the other lifeboat. Natasha and Pietro had gone off to help the other civilians into the lifeboats that flew all around the circumference of the flying city.

Helen was about to go out of the medical room when suddenly, she heard Maria's voice yelled out "Incoming!" from the main room and within less than a second, a crash was heard then next were gunshots. Slightly panicked at this, the doctor quickly rushes through the hallway until she finally arrived to see that it is a mess, mainly the table and the large window. But what was more shocking is that Fury intensely stabs one of Ultron's Iron Legions in the head with the remaining broken pieces of the aircraft inside after Maria shot it many times.
She breathes heavily at the sight she was seeing when the former looks up at her shocked form for a short moment then turns away. Still a bit disturbed yet also she immediately remained calm as she approaches Maria who continues to raise her gun at the half-destroyed robot, checking to see if it is still alive until she lowers her weapon with her eyebrows narrowed. Helen stood beside the former agent and worriedly asked.
"What happened?"
Maria turns to face the doctor with a serious expression. "It seems one of Ultron's cronies attacked us, mainly to destroy this aerial vehicle and stopped the civilians from escaping."
"My God." Helen murmured, feeling perturbed by this as she looks to where the floating city of Sokovia was viewed in front of her then she thought with deep concern.
'Steve… everyone… please be alright…. please…'

"Thor." Tony suddenly called out. "I got a plan!"
Steve's eyes widened a bit, looking hopeful but it dimmed as Thor answered grimly. "We're out of time. They're coming for the core."
"Rhodey." Tony ordered his close friend. "Get the rest of the people on board that carrier."
"On it." He replied while nodded sharply as the billionaire called out to his team over the comms, teasing a little. "Avengers, time to work for a living."
After hearing this, the super-soldier took off at a run towards the church, where it was placed exactly in the center of the city. He arrived at the chapel, joining most of the team and fight some of the robots as they all assembled. He can see Clint and Wanda looking alright as he sighed in relief aside from a few dirt streaks neither of them seemed to have been hurt. There he also saw Pietro dashed up towards his twin sister.
"You good?" He asked while checking her quickly even as she nodded then replied. "Yeah."
Steve watched the twins, taking in the closeness they interacted. He noticed it before but it was both intriguing and somewhat heart-warming to see just how much they cared for each other, almost like his brother-like relationship with Bucky. Well, it was heart-warming now that they weren't teaming up to kill the people he cared about.
The Captain caught Wanda's eye as the thought went through his mind. The Maximoff female twin gave him a tentative smile. Steve returned his, making Wanda's smile soften and become more genuine. He had a small feeling that he will get along with her very well, no doubt about it.
"Romanoff? You and Banner better not be playing hide the zucchini." Tony called out into the comms.
"Relax, Shell-head. Not all of us can fly."
The red-headed spy joined the team, pulling up in a truck she'd commandeered and, judging from the bits of machinery smashed on the front, used to drive right through several of Ultron's robots. As Natasha jumped out of the truck, joining in beside Clint and asked. "What's the drill?"
"This is the drill." Tony replied shortly as he pointed at a small metal podium that all of them realized that must be the Vibranium core.
"If Ultron gets a hand on the core, we lose." Tony continued to explain.
The team's faces became grim when they heard about this before becoming focused once more just as Ultron flew up in front of them. Steve turned with the others to face the maniac android as he hovered a few feet away from the church. And suddenly, Thor yelled out defiantly at Ultron. "Is that the best you can do?!"
Steve's eyes widened when he saw Ultron simply raised his hand gesturing an entire army of his robots came running and flying from all over to stand behind their leader. The ex-SHIELD agents' mouths had all parted slightly in horror while Wanda's face paled and Pietro's jaw clenched.
The Norse God's mouth had also fallen slightly open in shock while Steve sighed in exasperation and sarcastically said. "You had to ask."
Thor glanced back at his blonde-headed friend and companion sheepishly as Ultron smirked and mockingly said while raising his arms like a self-proclaimed god. "This is the best I can do. This is exactly what I wanted, all of you." He gestured at the Avengers. "Against all of me."
Steve's fists tightened and his eyebrows furrowed at Ultron's arrogance when Tony answered firmly. "Well, like the old man said."
He glanced at the Captain, who looked back in surprise as he finished. "Together."
The hulk roared in agreement as Tony and the whole team readied themselves to face the army as Ultron pointed his hand towards its direction at them
The robot army launched itself at the Avengers, who simply took a fighting stance and met the army head-on. Steve placed his feet apart in a slight crouch while gripping his shield as the robots came at the team from all sides of the circular church, entering through various points in many archways. The Avengers simply drew themselves in a tight circle around the vibranium core, stopping all Ultron's robots from coming any closer.
Steve shoved, kicked, punched and ducked as robots came running and flying in from all directions. Beside him, Wanda took out more than a few of the robots with her intense powers while Hulk manages to crush most of them with his big bare hands. Behind him, Natasha and Thor were pulling and smashing apart with their various skills as Tony fired away all the robots coming at them from the distance.
Pietro was running around at a light-speed, breaking apart robots as they entered the archways while Vision took up in the air to head off the robots coming in through the collapsed roof.
The Captain was suddenly choked by the robot before he immediately grabbed it in a headlock, snapping its head off with his bare hands as the Avengers continued to fight, becoming one defensive body when they covered each other. Wanda's powers kept any robots from coming closer to the core as the DELTA and Steve spread a little further to take out the rest of them in the middle of the church. Pietro, Vision, Tony, and Thor ran and flew about the small church's perimeters and ceilings to take out the robots from entering and any of the airborne ones that Steve and the DELTA missed.
Hulk came running in and finished his job outside to help the team as he smashed all the robots in his sights. He joined the Avengers in taking out the remaining robots as Ultron finally joined the fray. The furious mad robot flew in, tackling Vision and punching him aside.
The android wasn't that easily dissuaded, and Vision quickly retaliated then firing his mind stone power at him and shooting him right in the chest. Ultron went flying out the church, Vision right behind as he kept the beam from his mind stone fixed firmly on Ultron. Thor quickly followed Vision outside along with Tony as the three took on the largest hurdle.
Inside the church, the rest of the Avengers finished off all the robots that were left, and Hulk went running outside. Pietro disappeared as well while Wanda, Natasha, and Clint all tried to catch their breaths. The three got exhausted and needing a brief respite. Steve walked towards them with weary but concerned for his team as he asked.
"Are you all okay?"
"We're fine." Natasha promised between gasps before slowly stood upright once more.
"Yeah, just a little bit sore that's all." Clint tiredly grins but he straightened painfully.
Wanda on the other hand, also noting their resilience with a grimace but stood up tall once more as Steve watched them with worry but didn't comment.
They all stiffened once more as Thor interrupted and called out sharply. "They'll try to leave the city."
The Avengers inside the church tense immediately but exhaled in relief as Tony replied firmly. "We can't let 'm, not even one. Rhodey!"
"I'm on it." The Iron Patriot answered immediately.
Steve sighed in relief but they weren't in the clear yet as he ordered his team. "We gotta move out. Even I can tell the air is getting thin. You guys get to the boats."
He nodded at the DELTA and glanced about the city outside then added. "I'll sweep for stragglers, be right behind you."
"What about the core?" Clint questioned as he glanced at the Vibranium core.
Before anybody else could respond, Wanda replied. "I'll protect it."
They all looked at her, stunned at the Maximoff female twin's reply. Steve was particularly intrigued when she looked at Clint as she said firmly. "It's my job."
He and Natasha glanced at the Archer curiously, taking in his somewhat surprised but also a hint of proudness. He nodded once before turning to his female friend. "Nat."
The red-headed spy nodded as she followed him while Steve glanced at Wanda one more time. 'It seems Clint must've motivated her somehow.' He thought in realization. Steve then smiled softly at the young Sokovian woman before he ran off to join Clint and Natasha in a convertible the Archer had managed to "borrow".

(Wanda's P.O.V)
Wanda glanced at the super-soldier as the thought passed her mind and she felt his eyes on her. Steve's face was slightly worried as he watched her, his eyes holding concern for the young woman and Wanda was once again struck by the warmth in the Avengers. It was something she hadn't expected as she nodded back firmly, showing him she could handle things.
Steve finally headed out as well, moving in the other direction from the DELTA as he ran towards the city. Wanda watched the man run off thoughtfully before she turned back to the core, ready to do her duty.
Then suddenly, there was a flash of silver as Pietro appeared beside her, returning from taking out the last of the robots left on the flying city that he could find. Wanda checked on him quickly for his injuries before she ordered. "Get the people on the boats."
"I'm not going to leave you here." Pietro argued but his twin sister cut him off sternly.
"I can handle this."
As though to prove her point, a robot came flying towards her and Wanda swiftly dealt with it, blasting it to pieces with her power. Pietro shrugged in agreement as Wanda said firmly. "Come back for me when everyone else is off, not before."
The Maximoff male twin hummed in a reluctant agreement, starting to move away unhappily as Wanda ordered sharply. "You understand?"
"You know." Pietro replied at last as he turned to face his sister. "I'm twelve minutes older than you."
And that made Wanda laugh as she tossed back at her twin brother.
"Go."

Steve and Thor continued to help the remaining civilians and escorted them towards the lifeboat when the super-soldier spotted Clint took off at a light jog towards from what it seems to be a frightened child trapped at the stairs. He kept an eye on the agent while sending the civilians he had been escorting on ahead and dashes his way towards to the Norse God as Tony called out over the comms. "Thor, I'm gonna need you back in the church."
"Is this the last of them?" Thor asked the Captain quickly, nodding at the civilians who rushes towards the lifeboat.
"Yeah." Steve confirmed as he stopped beside him, still watching Clint every so often. "Everyone else is on the carrier."
"You know if this works." Tony called out warningly. "We maybe don't walk away."
Steve slightly tensed when he heard this but Thor just answered determinedly. "Maybe not."
A hint of worry appeared on the Captain's face once more as he looks out at the remaining Sokovians who are kept dashing towards the lifeboat but slightly relaxed when he saw Pietro appeared carrying a disabled female civilian and placed her on the free chair. 'Thank God, he was back safely.' He thought before his eyes slid back over to the Archer.
Clint was just pulling the boy out of the rubble and making his way to head back towards the lifeboat when they heard the sound of rapid gunfire coming from Natasha's side of the city. Steve turned his head around as the Hulk roared and the Avengers' quinjet came zooming around the corner. His eyes widened in aghast when Ultron fired once more, the machine laser-gun firing rapidly down onto the ruined streets as it rained down straight towards him and Thor. He barely managed to get his shield up in time to block the blasts yet safely shielded himself behind the statue and closed his eyes tightly while Thor had also dived aside, avoiding the gun firing down in a straight line onto the streets.
There was a whoosh beside Steve as a sudden, sharp gust of wind blew past him. Time seemed to slow down and Steve opened his eyes then looked to where Clint was, his mind struggling to comprehend what had happened in that one second. The bullets had rained ever closer to the archer but even after the quinjet had flown past, Clint stayed crouched… unharmed, thanks to a car suddenly appearing before him and the boy, shielding the agent from the gunfire.
Steve's heart dropped like a stone as he stared in horror, watching numbly as Clint slowly lifted his head and saw exactly what or rather who had protected him. Clint's mouth dropped open slightly as he stared at Pietro, who met his gaze as he stood, unable to move from where he'd been forced to stop after dragging the car out in front of Clint.
"You didn't see that coming." Pietro murmured with his last breath before he toppled over and fell towards the ground. Steve finally managed to break free from his frozen stupor and ran towards the fallen boy while Thor turned away grimly before he flew off to his duty. He knew he'd be dead, even before he reached the ground judging by the many bullet wounds in his body, bleeding through his suit.
But he couldn't stop himself as he ran over while Clint placed the boy down to bend over and check Pietro's pulse neck before he met his eyes, and his expression said it all. Steve's eyes filled with grim and sorrow as Clint turned back to the boy, carrying him. The Captain bent down and picked up Pietro's body then carried him, following Clint as the Archer carried the boy back to the lifeboat.
Steve didn't say a word, even as Clint passed the boy into his relieved mother's arms while he gently placed Pietro onto the ground in one corner of the lifeboat. His expression grew saddened as he lowered his head down with his eyes closed and placed his hand on Pietro's shoulder, silently telling him to rest in peace before he opened his eyes and stood upright once more then moved to check the city one last time just in case while Clint came over to join Pietro.
Suddenly, there was a loud rumble and Steve knew that this city is starting to fall as he swiftly jumps onto edge of the lifeboat just in time before the ground fell beneath him as he tensely watches Sokovia went into a free fall, the flying city picking up speed as it tumbled towards the Earth. The lifeboat lifted away, heading towards the Hellicarrier as Steve tiredly stood up, looking wearily and exhausted with his eyebrows knit anxiously when he searches for Natasha, Bruce and Wanda.
'Wanda…' He realized solemnly. He hadn't seen the Maximoff female twin come out, or went in the lifeboat, and if she was still on that rock… it was at that moment when the whole flying city below them cracked breaking into thousands upon thousands of pieces that rained down more harmlessly into the ocean below.
Unfortunately, while this meant that Earth was safe from Ultron's plans, it didn't guarantee on Tony and Thor's survival. He could have easily have been crushed by one of the still enormous pieces of rocks as could the Norse God. He closed his eyes and silently prayed for his two friends to be alive as he leaned over the edge of the lifeboat before he opened them again and called over his comms. "Fury, status report on the team?"
"The Hulk carried Romanoff onboard before he jumped after Ultron who flown the quinjet." The former director replied before he continued. "Vision also grabbed Wanda Maximoff before Sokovia blew, and they're both safe here. Colonel Rhodes is out looking for Stark and Thor. No word yet on the two but we did capture a heat signature in the ocean."
"Just one?" Steve asked a bit anxiously.
Clint also lifted his head from his spot on the seats as Fury replied calmly. "So far, yes but—"
"Oohh, is that all you've got, Nick?" Tony's voice suddenly called out over the comms.
Steve sighed in a mix of relief and annoyance at Tony's cocky tone, though there is a hint of a smile in his lips while Clint dropped his head again with a small smirk as Fury answered dryly. "I knew it'd take more than an entire city to fall on killing you, Stark."
"Is that supposed to be an insult or a compliment?" He wondered.
Steve cuts in as he returned to talk seriously. "Have you found Thor?"
"Yeah, I did. He was underwater but I grab him up and he was fine. I think he just got knocked out." Rhodey said over the comms.
"Bring him up, I'll have the medics on standby." Fury ordered.
"Yes, sir." He replied back as Steve added in a worried tone. "And Banner?"
There was silence for a short moment when Fury spoke out quietly.
"He's gone MIA."
The Captain lowered his head with a deep sigh while Tony remained silent as Fury continued. "His last known position was on the quinjet, where he turned Romanoff's communication off. With the quinjet on stealth mode, sadly our hands are tied."
The team lapsed into silence. Tony's tinkering mind had ensured the quinjet was completely untraceable in stealth mode, even to his own tech. And it would seem that Bruce won't be here for a long while with the Avengers team, though they all hope that their friend would come back safely soon… no matter what.

As they arrived at the Helicarrier, Steve walks out of the lifeboat and went straight towards the hallway to meet up with Fury at the main room. While he was strolling through the hallway where he passes by the medical room. Suddenly, he can hear a familiar voice from the other side, Steve stopped his pace and turns his head around to see Helen through the glass window, talking to the mildly injured patient.
His eyes widened in surprise as he stood there, gazing at the doctor's presence. He didn't know how he had kept on staring at her, and God, he hoped that no sees him looking at her through the window like a creep or worse… a stalker. The Captain shuddered at that thought for he was never that kind of a person to do such a thing as he sees her tending the middle-aged female patient up til she is done and lets her go with a small smile on her face before the patient went out of the room. With enough courage in him, he went towards the door and stood there for a short second to remain himself calm before giving himself an inhale and exhale deep breath. This is his chance, to confess his feelings for her. There is no turning back, no more denying it. He gently knocked on the metal door before it swiftly opens.
Helen turns around to see who comes in and was stunned to see Steve right in front of her, looking at her with a calm yet longing. 'He's… he's here. Steve's really here.' The Doctor thought before she slightly shook her head from her daze as she kept her usual calm and professional self in front of the Captain.
"Captain Rogers, I'm glad you are safe and well." Helen properly stood herself and gave a small smile. "Is there anything you need? Are you injured somewhere that needs me to patch you up?"
"No I'm fine, Dr. Cho. A little sore but not injured." Steve replied, giving her a gentle smile in return before calmly continued. "But there is something that I have to say…" His expression softened while looking at her.
"Something that I should have done the day I first met you…" The Captain stood there with his eyes looking through her, causing the doctor's smile to falter as she did the same as his. 'This is it… no more hiding it.' He thought audaciously as he said softly. "And I can no longer take it to hide it anymore…"
Hearing those words he said, she looked at him in bewilderment and quietly murmured out.
"What?"
The room fell silent once again like before whenever they are alone as the two continue to stare at each other for a short moment until the Captain slowly walked towards her, Helen didn't move but still stood there with her eyes gazes on his, a hint of longing in both of them.
As he stood now right in front of her, closing the small gap between their faces as she looks up to him and can feel his breath through hers. Helen shyly looks down avoiding his yearning blue gaze, somehow cannot breathe when he looks at her that way. She felt his fingers touching her chin and lifted to face him, never to look away from his sight as his other hand came up and brushed her hair away from her face.
Helen's earthly brown eyes gazes into his ocean blue ones as if the water's strong waves clashes into the earth's solid ground, looking so intense and somehow… intimate. 'Is this it… is he going to kiss me? Is he…' She thought in a daze, looking so mesmerized that she had always felt like the day she first bumped into him a few days ago. Steve suddenly leans himself slowly towards her, his eyes flickered back down to her lips.
The Korean geneticist lowers her eyelids, feeling eager to let his lips touch hers. Desire now begins to envelop between them, both no longer trying to hide their feelings as Steve now places his lips on her soft ones. There it was, the feeling of an electric spark between their touched lips with one steeped in a passion that ignites. Suddenly, she felt his warm fingertips slide down along with his other one to caress the slim neck under her chin while her own hands pressed to the front of his broad chest where she can feel his muscles inside his suit, causing to felt her cheeks blushing red.
Helen rose up on her toes and curled his hair around her fingers gently, feeling lighter than air while one of his hands came up to caress her cheek and the other lowered down then curled around her back so now they were chest to chest as the kiss deepens. She'd never been kissed like this. Hell, she'd never even been kissed. It was like something out of a romance novel or a fairy tale book, one of those kisses that makes your stomach clench and your toes curled.
It only lasted perhaps a little bit longer than what they think but it managed to leave Helen feeling breathless. Steve didn't back away from her, his arms still around her and his palm resting on her cheek. He touched his forehead to hers as they looked each other's eyes, never looking away.
"I'm in love with you, Helen…" Steve murmured.
Helen's eyes widened at his confession though still a little drunk from their kiss as she hears him continue to say.
"And I've been wanting to kiss you since the day you saved me from dying."
"You… you love me?" Blinking her eyes once, surprised by his words. "But… you barely know me."
"You may logically think that but I feel like I really do… I really do know you from heart." He can see a hint of small doubt in her features as he tries to say the words carefully. "Helen… I'm in love with you, not because you are only beautiful. I'm in love with you, because of your kind and gentle personality."
She looked up to see Steve's face when he put out all of his feelings. She didn't say a word but continued to listen him instead.
"I love how hardworking, courageous and brave you are without having to lose your feminine side. And you are beautiful inside and out." He shook his head slightly, scolding himself a bit for blabbering too much as he spoke out. "I'm sorry that I ramble about it yet I can't help but really say this… that I have fallen in love with you, Helen Cho."
The Korean geneticist stared at him for a moment, still surprised by his love proclamation and it almost made Steve feel worried with anxiety. Scared that the woman he fell in love with, didn't feel the same way as his, it will probably hurt his feelings if she didn't but he will understand no matter what. However it was the opposite of what he had thought expected when he sees her smiling with her tears falling from her cheeks as she finally spoke out.
"Steve, I know you may not believe me at all but to be honest…" She breathes heavily before saying out loud to him. "I fell in love with you too. And I have been wanting to tell you that yesterday but secretly I… I-I was scared."
Shocked by the last words she spoke, he was about to protest on why would be scared of but instead he listens to her as she continues to explain.
"The reason for this, it's because I was afraid… afraid that if I tell you how I really feel about you… you will reject me. Or even worse, hate me if you knew." She can feel her shoulder slightly shaken as she started to cry, her insecurities and emotions are starting show in front of him that she had never revealed it to anyone, other than her mother.
His eyes softened as he wraps his arms around her petite form and felt her crying softly as he rubs her back gently, trying to soothe her.
"Shhh, I would never hate you, Helen. Never…"
"Steve, I'm sorry." Helen muttered before looking up at him with her teary eyes, a trace of guilt in her features. "I'm sorry that I shut you out. I'm really sorry…"
He shook his head a bit, not wanting for her apologize as he raises his hand towards her cheek to wipe the remaining tears falling from her eyes. "No, please don't apologize. You have done nothing wrong, I understand your feelings. I really do. So please stop apologizing, alright?"
She searches his eyes for a moment until she nodded softly before replying. "…okay."
The Captain genuinely grinned as he continues to admire her features despite her wet teary-eyed face, she still looks beautiful in his eyes and always is to him. It took another piece of his courage to say more as he finally spoke out to her.
"Helen, I was wondering when after all of this is over, maybe we could go out on a dinner at a Korean restaurant called 'Hun-gawi' that had just opened up around the corner?"
The doctor giggled softly at his another error pronunciation. "You mean 'Hangawi'?"
Laughing embarrassingly at his mistake, he continued. "Right, 'Hangawi'. Did I get it right?"
"You seem to improve fine, yeah."
"Anyway, as I said-um, maybe we could go out on a dinner Wednesday night. You know, perhaps wanting to try some of your ethnic food and getting to know more about each other better."
Steve thought his heart is going to burst at any moment when he saw her chuckled adorably. And that sight of her made him blush a little, seeing someone looks so beautiful can be so darn cute when she laughs like that when finally spoke out with a quick yet an eager nod.
"I would love to, Captain Rogers."
He chuckled slightly. "You know you can call me Steve, Helen."
Helen shook her head in embarrassment yet amused as she said. "Oh okay, I will try again." She giggled again softly before continuing. "I would love to go out with you, Steve."
Steve smiled when he heard her say his name for the first time, and it felt good, so good and comforting. He liked that, and he will keep on being contented every time when she says his name. The Captain then slowly leans in to kiss Helen's lips again and smirked when she returns his kiss this time. He can't deny the fact that the way they kissed is so innocent yet also passionate at the same time. As they pulled away from their kiss and rested their foreheads against each other so sweetly with glowing smiles on their faces while looking at each other's eyes.
"So, does this mean you don't mind dating a ninety-seven year old man?" He jokingly asked.
"As in the matter of fact, you're twenty-six when you went into a deep sleep at the Artic. So physically, you're a twenty-nine year-old man. I'm a twenty-five year old woman dating a physically twenty-nine year old with the mind of a ninety-seven year old man."
"Four years of age difference is nothing." Steve said in a husky tone as he closed the distance between them.
"Absolutely." Helen smiled before closing her eyes to feel his lips again as he leaned down his lips to claim hers.
Knock! Knock!
Unfortunately, their moment was interrupted when they both turned to see Tony waving his hand at them with a playful smirk on his face and shockingly, they also saw Clint beside him with a witty smile while crossing his arms in front of his chest. The couple blushed so madly in embarrassment at what they were seen. It seems Tony and Clint have somehow witnessed the whole thing as they both went inside the medical room and stood in front of them.
"Congratulations, Cap. You finally get to kiss the girl of your wildest dreams. Same to you with a hunky old man like him, Helen." Tony winked at him teasingly.
The Captain groaned in a mixture of annoyance and embarrassment while Helen just shyly hid her red face on his chest. 'Oh my God, Tony you no good son of a jerk.' She thought.
"Tony, don't you dare start." Steve slightly growled.
"What? I'm just really happy that you finally get to make out with Helen Cho, the beautiful and intelligent Asian babe you have ultimately dreamed of."
Not after Tony spoke, Clint finally jumped into the conversation. "I honestly didn't expect the Captain to be making out with a hardworking and serious doctor who never kisses or dated anyone. But I have to admit, you two really look good together."
"Oh, I have no doubt these two would make such adorable and beautiful biracial babies." He nodded in agreement then randomly asked Clint. "Did I also mention that most of the biracial people I have heard are even more gorgeous than random Americans?"
"Yeah, I have heard most of the celebrities with mixed races who have more attractive features like Keanu Reeves or—"
"Halle Berry! Definitely a hot one I tell ya." Tony added, looking unusually cheery as he continued. "Imagine if Steve Rogers and Helen Cho had a kid together in the near future, there's definitely a possibility that this kid of theirs will be more of a supermodel than Captain America 2.0—"
"GUYS!"
Steve interrupted the two from going further, his face is nearing to burst into anger though still embarrassed at this as Tony and Clint faced the annoyed Captain with slight impassiveness, somehow not affected by his exasperation.
"Will you two please stop?" He asked in a serious tone while wrapping his arm around Helen who is still hiding her face in his chest, getting more awkward on hearing the two.
"Oh! Sorry about that, we were just complimenting. That's all." Tony apologized in a slightly usual cocky manner.
Helen finally looks up to face the billionaire and sheepishly smiled.
"It's okay, Tony. Just don't go any further on teasing us. Especially Steve, which you have always kept on pestering most of the time."
Tony made a fake gasp and pouty face. "Aw, come on. I was actually having fun on playing with that old man." That mockery sentence caused Clint to slightly chuckle while Helen shook her head in amusement.
The Captain groaned in annoyance with a hint of mortification. God, Steve had no doubt that the former playboy billionaire and the jokester of the Avengers team would be teasing the cool and serious Captain for the rest of his life.
Finally! Steve and Helen have finally confessed their romantic feelings towards each other ❤️! Though I have a feeling my romantic scene kind of suck, to be honest (-_-)" However I enjoy writing Tony's cocky character and Clint's as well.
There will be more of Stelen fluffy romantic moments in the upcoming chapters ❤️! So better check on the update!
