Chapter Twenty : Truths
Darcy didn't know weather to kiss the crap out of captain america who she was pretty sure was Steve. Or check her head for lumps she knew she'd cracked her head on the pavement, and maybe was imaging that captain america was her Steve. She didn't want to kiss the crap out of him and find out he wasn't Steve. How embarrassing would that be to mack on a perfect stranger because he sounded like her sweetie. How do you ask a sexy spandex clad superhero, are you my shy super sweet boyfriend?
" M'am are you alright?" The captain said, his voice was deep and strong but it was defiantly Steve she knew that sexy as sin voice. But to be absolutely sure she reached up and yanked his mask up and off in one swift motion, and ended up looking into the surprised eyes of her boyfriend.
" I knew it was you babe." she said simply running her fingers threw his tousled blond hair, resting her head on his strong shoulder.
" We have a lot to talk about Doll Face." Steve said in his normal voice resting his cheek against her hair and she nodded .They would have too she wasn't mad that he hadn't told her he was ninety year old super solider. She hadn't told him her best friend was a rippling blond alien god from another planet. And she had done the shield disclosure paper work it was a major pain in the ever loving ass. She was pretty sure when shield found out she was with Steve she'd get ten times the paper work to do.
" So capsical is molesting cute coeds something you do now?" Iron man asked breaking Darcy from her thoughts she looked over Steve's shoulder at the red suited super hero. From the corner of her eye she noticed Steve clench his jaw slightly, but before either of them could say anything a familiar voice bite out a sharp reply.
" Shut up Tony , leave 'em alone they will explain when they wanna." Darcy blinked bewildered she knew that voice too and she all but half climbed over Steve's shoulder to get a better look.
" Bucky?" She said and he smiled at her he looked completely different all super heroed out and was his arm metal? Hell that made lots of sense he and Steve did seem so out of time was he a super solider too.
" Your a super hero too?" She reached out a hand and he took it gently and gave it a little shake and squeeze before he let it go.
" You could say that Dolly, you okay?" He asked and Darcy noticed the Black Widow edge a little closer to him, no way was she his dame? Darcy was about to ask but before she could Steve veered off towards a door calling out over his shoulder to the others.
" We need some time, help me out Buck keep an eye out." And he was jogging up the stairs with amazing speed and in no time they were walking through the door of his tower apartment.
"You do know you just jogged up eighty-two flights of stairs in like three minutes babe." Darcy said dryly as Steve placed her on a super buttery leather couch and knelt in front of her. He chuckled and rolled up the leg of her jeans gently to get a good look at her ankle, Darcy wondered if she needed to get a rabies shot, did it count if the birds were plastic? She placed her sightly beat up cooing flamingo next to her and winced as Steve cleaned off her wound gently with an alcohol pad where the hell had he gotten that from? He blew on to her wound gently and then carefully wrapped it up with soft bandage. He kissed her ankle gently then looked up at her he looked so sad and Darcy didn't know why.
" Darcy what do you know about Captain America?" He asked softly looking down like he was afraid of what she had to say.
" Just what Thor told me, that Captain America is a solider out of time. That he's brave but feels lost and just celebrated his ninety seventh birthday." She said with a shrug not that it mattered she liked Steve for who he was not what he was. Nothing short of an asteroid ah-la Armageddon would stop her from being with Steve she cared for him that much.
" I didn't always look like this Darcy I was small sickly but I always wanted to do whats right. I hated bullies still do, so when I got a chance to help make a difference I took it. I never thought it would end up like this that I would be here in the future. My life is dangerous Darcy you could end up being hurt like today or even killed." He stopped and bowed his head grabbing her hands kissing them slowly then looking up at her. His eyes held so much pain Darcy felt her heart start to hurt she didn't like that look on his face it didn't seem right.
" Steve, even if I wasn't dating you I'd hate to tell you I'd still be in danger. I'm best friends with a demi-god, hell I'm sure if I wasn't friends with Thor I'd still be in danger. It's me Steve we both know I got a mouth and to much attitude for my own damn good." He looked up at her and gave her watery smile stroking the side of her face.
" Too much of a pistol for your own damn good Doll face?" He asked softly Darcy laughed and nodded was it wrong to think a cursing Steve was cute.
" Your stuck with me Steve, until you tell me to go the hell away I wont." she said looking into his eyes letting him know she was serious about him that she wasn't going to run away. He pulled her towards him giving her the most searing passionate kiss Darcy had ever gotten in her life. He pulled away tucking a curl behind her ear , placing a soft kiss on her nose.
" I think I'm falling in love with you Darcy Bingly Lewis." He whispered and Darcy felt her heart clench with joy
" I think i'm falling in love with you Steve I don't know your middle name Rogers" She whispered back and got tackled by a laughing Steve who gave her another passionate kiss. Pulling away only to tell her
"My middle name is Grant."
