Sokovia...
I don't know how long I was there, but when I woke up I saw Natasha, in a cell across from me. I got up feeling nauseous... and more pain than usual in my shoulderblades... I saw silvery white feathers on the floor. I felt my back as half my back was bare but someone had fixed my bra straps for a halter top with a low back line. I got up as I looked around... This place was quiet, too quiet.
"Are you alright?" I looked to see Natasha in the cell with me.
"Hey..." I spoke, as I tried to get up.
"Easy girl, here," she said giving me some water to drink, "I used what I could find to fix your bra."
"Thanks Tash."
"You were out when I got here, I managed to send the gang a signal to where we were." she spoke.
I looked at her as I saw she was wounded, "Good, cause when we get out of here I'm going to get a bite to eat, a change of clothes and first dibs on Ultron." I ripped up parts of my skirt to bandage her up for now.
"Yeah I thought you'd need that... Ah Melissa where did those silvery white feathers come from?"
"Do you think I know?"
"Right why am I asking?"
"You have you're habits I have mine." I said.
It was after a few more hours we then heard someone calling us out by name. To be honest I thought I was hearing things.
"Natasha, Melissa?" Said Bruce as he came into the area, with fresh clothes.
"Over here!" Natasha called as I helped her up.
"What's going on?"
"Let's just get you ladies out of here ok?" He said as he unlocked the cell door. "And these are for you. I'm glad you're alright Melissa"
"I'm just glad you're still with us Melissa."
"Yeah Me too." I said grabbing the clothes, putting on my mask before undressing out of my ragged dress, as Natasha kept Bruce busy as he checked her injuries. While they were trading stories or what not, I found a note in my underwear... Thankfully it wasn't in Tony's writing, if it was I'd slap him like the rest of the ladies had in his life. Thankfully it was in Steve's handwriting.
'Melissa,
I'd figured you'd want a fresh pair of everything before you give them hell. Sorry, I'm not there to get you out we're currently evacuating the town. You know how things are, when people's lives are in danger the lesser casualties the better. I know you'd rather me get others out of harm's way before saving yours. Love Steve XOXO.'
"Melissa hurry up!"
"Oh right," I said as I put on my suit, boots and gear on fast, but before I put my suit on completely I took a knife to rip two lines out in the back. I turned as I saw Natasha push Bruce as it wasn't long before Hulk jumped into the room.
"Hey there Big Guy." She said sweetly.
We ran outside, "Hulk Throw me." I said as I ran up to him.
"Hold it Big Guy. Melissa are you out of your mind nuts?"
"Remember those feathers?"
"You honestly think they came from you?"
"My back was ripped open like a halter top remember?"
"Steve is going to have a heart attack if the Big Guy throws you."
"Okay fine. It's not like I was going to tell him Hulk gave me a jump start." I said, But the Big Dude did it anyway as I moved my shoulders wings grew out of my back as I glided in the sky... That didn't even hurt... I looked at them as I smiled, "Ultron you're screwed big time if you get to my boyfriend before I do."
I followed Hulk and Natasha to a floating island... "All we need is Lando Calrissian." I joked as I landed on the ground roughly as the rest of the gang saw us, even the Twins. 'Note to self get Sam/Falcon to help me with my aerobatics and landings,' I thought.
"You're all right?" Said Wanda.
"Wanda right?"
"Yes," She nodded, "This is Pierto my brother."
"Where's Steve."
"The Bridge with Thor." said Pierto.
"Thank you." I said as I jumped over the edge as I caught a gust of wind... as I glided around the floating island punching and kicking every Ultron in my way... 'Note to self I got to get myself something else to use besides my fists and feet.' I thought. I saw Steve as he was struggling to save a woman as I swooped down as I grabbed her other hand... The Woman and Steve looked at me with his jaw down in shock.
"Melissa?"
"Yes Steve?" I giggled, "Stop drooling, and keep fighting could yah? I got her."
"Ah right, Peggy." He said as he let me go as I flapped my wings holding her as I let her down.
"Since when do Angels wear horse masks?" said the woman.
"I'm no angel, Lady. I was called White Mare, but before that I was called Pegasus before my wings got clipped."
She nodded as I found a long piece of metal, then used it as a bat to smash a few Ultrons apart, "Get to safety!" I yelled, "I got this!"
"Yeah I see that and those shiny new wings you got." Said Tony on the coms.
"Tony I'm already in a bad mood, don't you even dare." I growled on the channel.
"Yeah she's back gang."
Ultron then saw me as I glared at him from where I stood... He sent a few of his copies after me as Steve joined me as we fought them all together trading his shield as I gave him that slab of metal as he was a baseball player. They stopped for a second as we made eye contact.
"Melissa, you might as well let it out now then later." Steve advised, as I nodded then turned back to Ultron.
"HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW?" I yelled out at Ultron as he attacked.
"I'm actually disappointed." It sneered.
"Well I hate to disappoint but I'm more mad at you for making me turn on my friends, you walking talking Tin Can!" I growled as I kicked it's metal ass into pieces... I got to admit beating down all those Ultrons felt so good after all it made me do to everyone.
Hours later
I sat in the Helicarrier, exhausted.
"Hey Peggy." Said Steve.
"That's the second time you called me that." I spoke as he gave me a hot cup of tea just how I liked it, "Thank you Steve."
"You're welcome. You earned your wings back for real this time." He said with a smile, "Think of it as a Superhero nickname."
"That and it's also my great Grandmother's nickname too."
"I know but, you called you her little Pegasus anyway. So in a sense you've earned it."
"I... I'm so sorry I tried to break out of the scepter's control but all I could really do was-."
"Hey don't beat yourself up girl." said Hawkeye still groggy, "You did better than I did when Loki used it on me years ago."
"I guess that makes me feel a little bit better." I admitted.
"And Us?" asked Steve, as he placed his hand on mine.
"Despite that I'll need more training, I'm fine so far." I admitted, "It's just a slight adjustment eh?"
"I suppose so, Peggy." Steve smiled who seemed relieved, "So ah our anniversary?"
"Steve," I said, "Couldn't we just rent a cottage somewhere and enjoy the weekend by the beach?"
Steve smiled, "Peggy, that's perfect."
