Chapter 2

Steve threw his shield, stopping Tony and Thor from fighting. "Hey! That's enough!" Steve shouted as he jumped down off of a tree and landed in their battlefield.

I followed him, landing on my feet. I looked over at Thor and then over to Tony. They both looked kind of beat up. The trees around us were busted and on the ground.

"I don't know what the trees ever did to you guys, but I'm pretty sure they didn't mean to." I said.

"I'm more of an indoors kind of guy." Tony said back.

"Now, I don't know what you plan on doing here." Steve said as he was looking over at Thor.

"I've come here to put an end to Loki's schemes!" Thor said loudly, gripping his hammer.

"Good, then you're on our side." I spoke and shifted my stance a bit.

"Prove it. Put that hammer down." Steve said in a strong demanding tone.

"Uh…yep! No! Bad call; he loves his hamme-…!" Tony was whacked clear back with Thor's hammer, knocking down some trees.

"You want me to put the hammer down?" Thor yelled out as he jumped up in the air and swung his hammer down, hitting Steve's shield.

Steve used his shield to block Thor's attack. The attack triggered a weird explosion, knocking us all out of the way. The sound of the explosion was a rippling sound. The poor trees were blown into debris.

Steve got up before me and ran to me, helping me up. I winced at my ankle. When I was knocked back, I landed on it.

"You okay?" He asked me and I nodded in response. It would heal in no time. Steve looked over to Thor and Tony; they both were looking at their surroundings. "Are we done here?"

Thor looked towards me and then down to my ankle. His eyes met Steve's and he nodded. We brought Loki to the Helicarrier. Banner, Steve, Thor, Black Widow, and I were all watching the interrogation on a montior. Nick had Loki kept in a glass cell.

"In case it's unclear, you try to escape; you so much as scratch that glass." Fury pressed a button which opened up a huge door that led to the outside. The cell would plunge Loki down thousands of feet and end up killing him. "Thirty thousand feet, straight down in a steel trap. You get how that works?" Fury pointed to Loki. "Ant." He then pointed to the button that would drop the cell. "Boot." Nick pressed the button to shut the door.

"It's an impressive cage." Loki said slyly, walking around the cage. "Not built, I think, for me."

"Built for something a lot stronger than you." Nick replied back.

"Oh, I've heard." Loki said as he turned to face the camera that was showing what was happening on our monitor. "The mindless beast, makes play to be the man." Loki turned to Nick. "How desperate are you? You call on lost creatures to defend you. I mean, you even have a woman who knows nothing about this world or herself."

"How desperate am I?" Nick began to speak. "You threaten my world with war. You steal a force you can't hope to control. You talk about peace and you kill because it's fun. You have made me very desperate. You might not be glad you did."

"Oh, it burns you to come so close. To have the Tesseract, to have power, unlimited power and for what? A warm light for mankind to share, and then to be reminded what real power is." Loki said.

"Yeah, well you let me know is real power wants a magazine or something." Fury began to walk away before he added. "By the way, the woman you spoke of, her name is Major Liberty. And she is one of the most brilliant minds I have ever had the chance to meet. Even though she can't remember, she's better to us like this than frozen." Nick walked out of the room.

"He really grows on you, doesn't he?" Banner said.

"Major Liberty..." I trailed off. "I like it." I looked over to Steve. "Looks like I'm higher rank than you, Captain."

Steve smiled his teeth showing smile. "Can't wait to start taking orders from you." Steve teased back. "Loki's gonna drag this out. So, Thor…what's his play?" Steve asked.

Thor looked around as he spoke to us. "He has an army called the Chitauri, that none of Asgard nor do any worlds know. He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the earth. Return, I suspect, for the Tesseract."

"An army from outer space." Steve said.

"So he's building another portal. That's what he needs Erik Selvig for." Banner said.

"Selvig?" Thor asked surprised.

"Loki has some kind of spell, along with one of ours." Natasha said with a frown.

"I want to know why Loki let us take him. He's not leading an army from here." Steve said.

"I don't think we should be focusing on Loki. That guy's brain is a bag full of cats, you could smell crazy on him." Banner said.

"I don't care how you speak. Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asgard…" Thor paused for a moment. "And he's my brother." Thor said in a strong and protective voice.

"He killed eighty people in two days." Natasha informed.

Thor shifted his stance. "He's adopted."

Well that changed his mood quickly.

"I think it's about the mechanics. Iridium, what did they need it for?" Banner asked as he walked around the table.

"It's a stabilizing agent." Stark said as he walked in with Coulson, interrupting our discussion. "Means the portal won't collapse on itself, like it did at SHIELD." Stark was walking past Thor as he spoke and tapped at Thor's arm. "No hard feelings Point Break, you've got a mean swing." Tony went back to talking about the Iridium. "Also, it means the portal can open as wide and stay open as long as Loki wants."

I had to roll my eyes at Tony's actions. He was rude yet smart. He knew what he was talking about. I looked over to Steve and admired his outfit. I glanced at his arms and saw how they were shaped in his suit. Was he really that built?

Steve caught me staring and smiled sweetly at me. "Is something the matter, Evelyn?" He asked me.

I shook my head. "No, just…trying to remember stuff." I looked at the table. "It's not really easy."

"Don't push yourself." Steve said and placed his hand on my hand. "You have enough on your mind as it is. If you really want to remember…" Steve suddenly got embarrassed. I looked at him, feeling his emotions. "I can help you remember?"

I bit back a smile. "Well, since my memories do involve you…" I shrugged. "Sure."

"Aw the two lovebirds are trying to rekindle things. How sweet is that?" Tony said and pointed over to some agent. "That man is playing Galaga!" Steve looked at Tony in confusion. We both looked around, not understanding what this Gal…whatever is. "Thought we wouldn't notice, but we did." Stark looked at one monitor to another, covering one eye. "How does Fury even see these?"

"He turns." Agent Maria Hill responded.

"Sounds exhausting." Tony said and started to push some buttons on a monitor. "The rest of the raw materials, Agent Barton can get his hands on pretty easily. Only major component he still needs is a power source. A high energy density, something to kick start the cube."

"When did you become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics?" Maria asked.

"Last night. The packet, Selvig's notes, the Extraction Theory papers, am I the only one who did the reading?" Tony asked.

"Does Loki need any particular kind of power source?" Steve asked.

"He got to heat the cube to a hundred and twenty million Kelvin just to break through the Coulomb barrier." Banner said.

"Unless, Selvig has figures out how to stabilize the quantum tunneling effect." Tony responded to Banner.

"Well…" I began to say and looked over to Tony. "If he could do that he could achieve Heavy Ion Fusion at any reactor on the planet." It was weird to me that I knew science things but nothing like my parents or my boyfriend.

"Finally, two other people that speak English." He pointed to me. "You and I are going to be buddies."

"Is that what just happened?" Steve asked.

"I'll be the judge of that, Stark." I said with a small smirk.

"It's good to meet you, Dr. Banner." Tony greeted as he shook the hand of Banner. "Your work on anti-electron collisions is unparalleled. And I am a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster." Tony

"Thanks…" Banner said and looked over to me.

"Anti-electron collisions…?" I asked and raised up from the table. "I'm going to have to read up on your work."

"Can I keep her?" Tony asked as he pointed to me. "She's smart and laughs at my jokes."

"Mr. Stark, if you don't mind me asking…did we ever meet when I worked with your father?" I asked him.

"Sadly no." He replied.

"I see. Did he mention anything about me?" I asked. "Sorry, I'm asking a lot of questions. I just want to know more about my past life. No one here at SHIELD is telling me shit."

"Well, that's not nice." Tony said. "I do recall him telling me about you. I even visited you once in a while with my father, while you were frozen."

"How sweet…" I said and then looked over to Steve and then back to Tony. "I assisted in making the serum that made a super soldier. Was it with Howard?"

"No, it was with Doctor Erskine."

"Ah, I see." I sighed out. "Fuck this…I'm getting a headache." Placing my hand on my forehead, I felt a pulsating feeling.

"Are you okay?" Steve asked worriedly.

I felt him beside me. "Yeah…I'm just going to go lay down." I looked at Banner and Tony. "Nice chatting with you." I started to make my way to my bedroom when a hand grabbed my arm.

"Let me escort you." I heard Steve say.

"Steve, please…I'm not feeling so good." I looked over at him and there it was. I felt his emotions towards me.

It broke my heart because I didn't feel the same for him. No. I did. I'm sure I did. There was something there but it was so faded and lost that I couldn't get to it.

I put my hand on his chest and stared up at him. "I want to remember…"

"What can I do to help you remember, Evelyn?" He asked and I felt his heart speed up at my touch.

"You said we were once lovers." I frowned a bit. "Maybe…I don't know." I started to take my hand away but he stopped it.

"No, what? Please tell me." He insisted.

"I was thinking, what if we kissed one another. Maybe it would trigger something." I shrugged. "I'm running out of ideas on how I can remember things. This is one of my last ideas."

I felt him place his forehead on mine. I looked up at him and felt my heart race slightly. He used to do this to me long ago. He used to place his forehead on mine. He used to hold my hands everywhere we went. He used to kiss me in front of anyone, not caring who saw. Steve did it because in those moments we were the only people on earth.

"You know how I feel, Evelyn. I'd do anything for you to get back your memories." Steve said softly.

"You used to touch me all the time. If there was a moment you weren't…minutes later you would touch me again." I backed my face away. "Steve, they are hiding this video from me. It'll tell me what I need to know."

"I don't know what's on that video, but I was told you need to control your powers before you watch it. Everyone is afraid you will get angry." Steve told me and I shook my head.

"What the hell would I get angry for? I'll be learning about my life." I had this itch to touch his face with my hand. It wasn't Steve's emotions I was feeling, it was mine. "I need that video, Steve."

"I'll do what I can." He said and placed a gentle kiss on my forehead. "How's your headache?"

"…Gone…" I said shockingly. I didn't even notice it went away. "It went away when we…started to embrace each other."

"So, it was your brain telling you that you needed my touch?" Steve asked in a teasing tone.

I laughed and tapped his chest. "Sure, we'll go with that."

We went to my room and he started to talk about the times we spent together. What we did, how he felt, how he thought I felt, and how much we were with each other. He even told me about our first time together, and the times after that.

"We were really horny." I giggled out.

"Not so much that, just in love." Steve said and scooted closer to me. "Tell me what you feel right now."

I glanced up at him and turned away. "I feel like there is something, Steve. It's something foggy and I can't see it clearly. I do know that I enjoy your company and…this…" I said and held his hand. "I feel like this is how it should be. I don't know how or why I feel this way, it's just there."

Steve leaned closer to me. "Please…I've wanted to kiss you ever since I saw you wake up."

His emotions were so strong and quite frankly, they were making me feel the same. I shook my head, denying him the kiss.

"I can't yet. I'm not ready…or whatever. I don't know!" I put my head in my forehead.

"No…shhh…" Steve said as he held me to his chest. "Don't beat yourself up about this. I'm here and will always be here."

"You won't." I said in an insecure voice.

"What?" Steve asked, thrown back at my words.

"There's a chance I won't remember anything. You'll leave and I'll be left with empty memories. This feeling inside of me is starting to get stronger and it's scaring me, Steve. I don't remember you, yet I'm sure I feel like you're my other half." I looked up at him with tears in my eyes. "I hate this feeling, Steve. I want to remember you so I'm not scared anymore."

"Why didn't you say this before?" He asked me with a frown.

"Because, I am scared," I repeated. "I don't remember you and I love you. That…doesn't make sense! I know that it's love because of how my body pulls to you. I didn't notice it before but now I do. When we fought Loki and we were also stopping Thor and Tony, I felt this need to protect you. I felt this need to-…"

Steve grabbed my face in his hands and crushed my lips into his. Immediately I melt in the warmth of his needy kiss. I tugged at his bottom lip, acting like I was pulling away. He pressed me against his torso, wanting more. I grinned in the kiss, feeling how much he desired this kiss.

Slowly he broke this kiss and looked at me. "I'm sorry…I couldn't hold it in much longer. I know that you are only going by logic right now, but these feelings are what you felt for me years ago." Steve placed his hand on the back of my head and neck, caressing me. "Don't let your thoughts get in the way of this."

"Fuck logic." I whispered and quickly got onto his lap.

I wrapped my arms around his broad shoulders and kissed him intensely. I felt his hands on my hips and then I felt him trying to hold back. I broke the kiss and looked at him with a questioning look.

"Steve, I'm durable now. You're not going to break me." I ran a hand down his chest. "Besides, I have a feeling I like it rough anyways."

In that moment, Steve picked me up and put me onto the bed. He lay over my body and started to kiss at my neck. He was starting to let go of things. Everything started to become fuzzy and desirable.

"I need you." He whispered against my neck after he unzipped my suit.

I slipped my arms out of the suit and looked up at him. "Like I said, Steve…don't hold back."

Steve fumbled out of his Captain America suit. Finally once he was gloriously naked, I had to admire his friend. I'm proud of myself for having this specimen be mine.

He was about to pull the rest of my suit off of me but I slapped his hands lightly. He was confused at first but then I grinned at him. I stood up and pushed him onto the bed. Slowly and teasingly, I stripped off my suit. I allowed my curves to show at the right angles for him.

"This is how it's going to go, Captain." I said as I stepped out of my suit. "You are going to give me everything you got and after a break…" I got over him, sliding myself over him but not having him go in me. "You're going to have to deal with me taking over."

Steve looked up at me with heat and desire. He gripped my hips hard and slammed right into me. I gasped loudly at the contact. It felt like it had been forever since I've had this man. He felt the same.

He flipped me over so he was on top, staring down at me. He stared into my eyes and had a small smirk plastered on his face.

"What?" I breathed out as I tried to keep in my moans.

"You'll see…" He answered and started to move agonizingly slow inside me.

I started to wriggle my hips, wanting more than just that. "Why are you doing that?" My voice came out more of a whine.

"I'm making love to the woman I adore with all my heart." His tone made it feel like it was an obvious answer.

"You're not going to…" I trailed off when he shook his head.

"I can be that way, but right now I want to appreciate you. I want to love you and make you feel like you're the only important person on earth." Steve placed his forehead on mine. "I am going to make love to you."

I ran my thumb over his plump lips. This is how he has sex. Now I remember. He always held back, afraid of hurting me. I knew that this would be different than any of those times. My eyes lit up as I remembered something about him. I remembered our first love making.

"Steve…" I breathed out and he came to a slow halt.

"Yes?" He asked as he ran his nose over my cheek in a loving way.

"I remember our first time…" I mentioned softly.

He brought his face up, looking at me with wonder and delight. "You remember?" To me that question felt like he was asking if I was lying.

I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. "Yes…now shut up and make love to me, that's an order." I teased.

"Yes, Ma'am." Steve teased back with a loving smile.

We lost ourselves more than once that night. I'm sure that if I was a normal human, I would have ended up with huge bruises. I did end up with some, but they were just small ones.

A/N: Yay chapter two! :) Tell me what you think! Also, special thanks to highlander348 for letting me use Major Liberty as Evelyn's hero name. :)
