"Yes, yes, Lizzy. That is the one and only, Captain America."

"I see that." Elizabeth told her Uncle, tearing her eyes away from the delicious soldier sitting at the table. Steve cleared his throat awkwardly.

"It's nice to meet you, Lizzy." Doctor Bruce Banner said, giving the girl an apologetic look. She gave him a smile, but it actually felt more like a grimace.

"Sit down, Lizzy. Join the party." Tony told her, and she took a hesitant seat across from Steve. He tried to not focus on her, but he could not help but let his eyes wander over the beauty. Her red hair was down in messy waves, reaching her waist. She had large green eyes that bored into his own blue ones, making him forget how to think straight.

Lizzy did not want to pay attention to what Tony was saying. She let her eyes wander to the people in the room. Bruce seemed nervous, like he was trying to stay out of everyone's focus. Natasha had a sense of confidence surrounding her, and Lizzy could understand why. She was incredibly beautiful.

And then there was Steve. His face was perfect. There were no visible flaws that she could see. His arms were distracting as they bulged against his shirt sleeves, and she let her eyes trace down them. Her mouth was dry, and she opened the water bottle to take a drink.

"Lizzy, are you paying any attention to me?" Her uncle asked, his voice exasperated.

"Huh?" She said.

"I was saying that we have to get going. Are you going home?" He asked, and she nodded.

"I have to stop a few places in town first. I wanted to go to the library, and then I have to go home and do some paperwork." She sighed. She thought that the life as a superhero must be exciting, because her life seemed awfully dull on occasion.

"Go straight home." He told her.

"Excuse me?" She asked, standing up and slamming her hands down on the table.

"Ma'am, if you don't mind me interrupting, I think Stark is just concerned for your safety. There are .. a few dangers lurking about the city, and we need to go take care of them before they get out of hand." Steve interrupted, leaving her speechless.

Tony looked at her for a minute before sighing. "Listen. Go to the library, and then go straight home." He gently placed his hand on her arm, and she nodded after a minute of consideration.

"Deal. I won't linger." She hugged her Uncle tightly, before excusing herself from the room. "Captain." She nodded in his direction, a smile flittering across her face. The soldier let the corner of his lips turn up into a half smile, and he gave her a small wave.

She said her goodbyes to the rest of the group before leaving. "Well, she's adorable." Natasha said, her voice dry. Tony chortled.

"Obviously. It's in the genes." The group rolled their eyes at his confidence. "Let's go." Tony said.

Elizabeth went to the library and checked out a few books before heading home. She promised that she would not linger, and she could not break a promise to her Uncle Tony.

Once she showered and changed out of the scrubs that she had been wearing for over twenty four hours, she felt extremely better. Elizabeth sat down on the couch, ready to enjoy mindless television, when she realized what was showing on the news.

"Captain America was spotted in Germany yesterday, protecting a crowd of innocents from a man who claims himself to be the future king of Earth." The woman's voice was high pitched and annoying, but Elizabeth could not change the channel. Her jaw dropped as she watched him jump in front of that beam of light and deflect it away from that elderly gentleman.

So, this is why they want her to stay home. They're worried about this man. The man was incredibly good looking, she could not deny. He had on a gold horned head piece and chest piece, along with a flowing green cape behind him. The man had black hair that trailed down his neck, and an incredibly white smile.

She gasped when she saw her Uncle Tony fly in quickly, his Iron Man suit shining in the light. This must be how he got his injuries.

Her eyes flickered back to Captain America, taking in his form and the suit. The suit was tight fitting and blue, while his torso was covered in an American flag design. A big silver star was on his chest, and a beautiful shield was in his hand.

Elizabeth wanted to know what was going on. She wanted answers. She would be making a trip to see her Uncle Tony soon.

When Elizabeth woke up the next morning, she got ready and went straight to Stark Industries. She entered the building and searched for her Uncle, but to no avail. "JARVIS, where is my Uncle?" She asked, growing tired of these games.

"I'm afraid that I cannot tell you that, Miss." He stated.

"Elizabeth, what are you doing here?" Pepper asked her, seeming startled to walk into the room and see her standing there.

"I want to see my Uncle." Pepper sighed. She sat down on the couch, patting the seat next to her.

"What I'm about to tell you is top secret. You cannot tell anyone." She threatened Elizabeth, who nodded and sat down.

"Your Uncle is with SHIELD. Their trying to stop that man, his name is Loki." She delved into the story about how Loki was from Asgard and how he was trying to take over Earth. Elizabeth listened intently, not saying anything. Once Pepper finished, Elizabeth pursed her lips.

"That sounds like a load of bullshit."
