Cheat- Ashley's POV
For the next week, all of us were simply taking out as much of Loki's ships as possible. We would trade off; Hawk and Thor, Hulk and Iron Man, Captain and I. Everyone one of them would land near the small diner where Thor, Cap's, and mine landed the first time. After a week, all of the ships knew we would be coming and they would try and trick us, but it never worked.
What with the technology S.H.I.E.L.D. had, no one could get past Nick Fury and his computers. Since today was Sunday, Cap and I got a day off. We decided that we would go on a nice date today. Currently, I was on my to the park with Steve for our 'second date.' Even though I counted every time we saved each other's lives as a date, Steve didn't. So officially, this was our second date. A huge crowd of paparazzi were following us but with Steve I felt to comfortable to care.
"Do they bug you?" Steve asked as I kept seeing new people appear behind us.
"No, I am to distracted to care." I replied smiling up at him. Steve wrapped an arm around me.
"Then, lets give them a show, shall we?" Steve asked sneakily, glancing back at the crowd.
"Let's." I told him, kissing his cheek.
After our stroll through the park, Steve and I ate at a soup shop called; McAlister's. We got our soup and then sat outside on the porch comfortable because it was a nice summer day. We ate and talked about missions, pasts, and everything in between.
"So you just woke up after seventy years?" I asked.
Steve nodded, "Yes. I can't remember sleeping but I remember everything... before and after."
I nodded slowly, "That is incredible."
"I guess, if you think that waking up in a different time is incredible, sure." Steve nodded smiling.
"I meant how you didn't age at all and how you survived, actually." I shrugged.
Steve smiled, "I think I like this time period better."
"Oh, really, why?" I asked sneakily.
Steve leaned towards me on the table, "I think you can guess."
"I can, but humor me." I replied smiling.
"You, Ashley. I like this time period because you are in it." Steve leaned further across the table.
"Aww," I said before I could stop myself Steve grinned, "I like that you are in this one as well." I replied, letting our lips touch softly.
Then, I pulled away quickly however because I didn't want to many pictures of us kissing at a soup shop. Steve seemed confused but then nodded, seeming to understand and he glanced at the paparazzi; smiling in a smug fashion. Then, he looked back at my bowl and saw that I was done.
"Ready to go?" Steve asked, pulling his wallet.
"I can pay." I took out my wallet out of my purse.
Steve shook his head, "Do you really think that I am going to let you do that? Besides, you don't have money anyway because yours is all still wizard money, isn't it?" Steve whispered the last part.
He had me their, "Fine, but can we stop by the bank so I can exchanged a Galleon for some muggle money?" I asked using wizard terms with a smile.
"Sure." Steve nodded, placing some money on the table.
We both stood up, linked our fingers together, and walked to the bank near the soup place. After I walked out, with my wallet now filled with muggle money we walked back to Stark Tower. I pushed myself close to Steve and held onto one of his arms that was still linked with my fingers.
Steve sighed pleasantly, "I like these kind of dates."
"I do too." I replied, smiling up at him. "It makes me feel human."
"After a long week, this is perfect. Let's make this a tradition, every Sunday after a long week of fighting; let's have a little day to ourselves." Steve replied.
"That's a great idea. We should." I nodded.
After that, we made our way back to Tony's tower.
"You two are up again, where have you been?" Nick yelled at us when the elevators opened to the conference room floor.
"Good afternoon to you too," I murmured.
"Don't push me, Ashley," Nick turned back around to me, "now, come on we need you back in Maine."
"Are the ships still coming?" Steve asked.
"Yes," Nick nodded.
"But still no Loki?" I asked.
"Still no Loki." Nick replied seeming frustrated.
"All right, well we will go." Steve responded and I nodded beside him.
"You two need to get there now, so Ashley will you help out?" Nick asked.
I nodded before pulling out my wand, switching both of our outfits into uniforms, and apparating us back to Maine where the ships were coming in. There were three ships this time.
Steve looked over at me, "I'll get this one," He pointed to the red ship, "and you come with me. Then, we will make our way through the other two."
I smiled at his over-protective-solider-ness. "Okay, but let me do one thing first."
After that, I held out my hand and pulled; as if the ship was on a rope, I pulled the ship down to the ground and it crashed immediately to the ground bursting into flames and explosions.
"That is so hot." Steve thought out loud then he leaned down to kiss me.
"Get back to the mission!" Nick Fury shouted in our ears.
Steve and I broke apart immediately then ran to the first red ship; I apparated us on board. We were instantly surrounded by men; Steve and I worked together to fight through them. When we finished that, we ran up to crash the ship.
"Take some of the guns, we need to figure out what they are made of." Nick Fury said in our ears.
I nodded, taking one of the small guns and placing it beside my normal gun in one of my pockets inside my outfit. Then, we started running as the ship collapsed into the ground. We boarded the other ship and did the same thing; taken a few more guns.
After we did that, Steve walked inside of the diner; to call the police and fire-fighters once again. I was outside with the people in the diner explaining what was happening.
"I cannot believe it is actually you!" A man, William Cat, called out after I explained everything.
"Ashley! What is your last name?" A woman, Jennifer Bates, asked.
"It doesn't matter, because it will soon be Johnson, will you marry me?" A man, Finnick Johnson asked coming down on one knee.
"No, you must marry me! You saved my life, please!" Another man, Gale George, got down on his knee.
"Listen, everyone, please!" I called over all of them.
"Ashley speaks, listen everyone! Listen!" Jennifer Bates announced to everyone.
"Thank you, Jennifer." I thanked her, gratefully. "I need you all to stay here when the police come, tell them everything you saw! Thank you!" I ended as the crowd held on to my every word.
"She is English! So am I, see Ashley? That is another reason you must marry me!" Gale George announced still on his one knee.
After that, I ran into the diner to find Steve; because I had to get out of here before the police came. The sight I saw when I walked through the front door ripped my heart in two. Two blonde heads were glued together in a passionate kiss, arms were thrown around each other's backs, and hands were knotted into each other's hair. My heart fell as I realized one of them was wearing the Captain America uniform and the other was a waitress.
My brain realized what my heart couldn't as I ran out of the diner, hit the glove on the back of my hand, and flew at light speed away from the diner. I ripped off my earpiece, which was being filled with calming words, encouragement, and pity and threw it into the ocean that I was suddenly over. Then, I fell on my board into a fetal position, wrapping my arms around my legs and hiding my head.
My realization hit me hard as a cry escaped my lips. Steve was just kissing Rachel.
