Alright, here's another chapter. Hope you guys are still reading. This time we find out what happened to Steve and how he got together with the others, how Eric's reaction will be and if the people will help the team to defeat Loki. Will they get help? Or will they have to face Loki alone?
After Loki had shot him in the shoulder and kicked him in the head Steve woke up in the crumbles of his old home. He stood up and looked around to see if he could find anyone, but that failed. He couldn't find anyone.
He stumbled out of the destroyed house as he gripped his shoulder. Steve hung his head not believing what was really happening. Loki had successfully killed all of his friends and family. There was no hope. He failed them all.
"What a damn leader I am." He murmured to himself as he looked around. He bet that Loki already took over the town, since he couldn't find anyone and that houses were destroyed.
Sighing he walked through the streets aimlessly trying to find anything or find deaths door. He didn't care if someone killed him now. He'd actually be glad. He had nothing anymore
Before he knew it he heard a screech. Steve turned around and saw a black demon creature standing on a car glaring at him. Steve didn't move, he didn't run, he just stayed there looking at the demon. Hell does exist, Steve thought as he saw the demon.
He just hoped he would get up to heaven instead of hell. He just hoped. The creature screeched at him and lunged towards him, knocking him to the ground. Steve didn't fight back, no he just waited for the creature to kill him. His salvation from all the guilt he was feeling.
But before the demon swiped at him, killing him, something collided with it and sent him away. He didn't move, he just kept lying on the street. He could hear voices and yells at the creature before it screeched and probably died.
And that's when two men came into his vision. "Hey you okay?" The one asked at him. He didn't answer, he just stayed silent.
But the other guy looked at him strange. "Wait… you look familiar." He said while thinking on whom he could be and then it hit him. "You're Captain America!" He stated and the other man looked at him confused.
He looked at Steve again and then saw it as well. "You're right. Hey Captain, are you injured?"
Steve sighed and decided to stand up but pain filled his side as he stood on his two feet. He looked to his right side and saw it was all scratched open. The demon did hit him. Standing up was a mistake. His vision started to get blurry and he felt weak. Before he knew it his world went black but he could hear the two men calling his name.
The next time he woke up he was greeted by a slightly dark room. No, not a room. He sat up but pain shot through his side. He looked down and saw his side all bandaged up. His hand went to it but a voice stopped him. "I wouldn't do that Captain."
Steve looked up and saw one of the guys sitting by him. He also noticed a small fire. "Where am I?"
The man smiled. "We're in an abandoned subway. This is where most of the survivors hide. We try and survive together and hide from Loki's army. By the way, I'm Robert and the other man was Gavin."
Steve blinked. But then lied back down. "Why did you save me?" He then asked.
Robert looked at him confused. "What?"
"I asked why did you save me? I wanted to die." He stated simply.
Robert's eyes went wide. "What? You wanted to die? What's wrong Captain? You are a legend! You're a hero! You're…"
"A failure." Steve said simply. Robert stayed silent but then asked. "Why do you think you're a failure?"
Steve sighed and sat up. He looked at the man. "Sir, uh Robert, you don't get it. I am a failure. Haven't you wondered why no one has come and help?"
Robert slightly nodded his head. "Well yea, but I thought they were having their own problems. Finding a way to beat Loki."
The Captain shook his head. "Well they're not."
"Then what are they doing? Going out on dates or what?" Robert asked slightly annoyed.
Steve hesitated at first but then told him. "They're…. dead." Now Robert went silent. But then he got another idea. "What about the kids? We heard that they were being trained by you guys to be the next Avengers."
"They're dead as well." He said in a whisper but Robert still heard him. He finally understood what he was feeling. "Hey Steve, can I call you Steve?" He asked and Steve nodded.
Robert slightly smiled. "Whatever happened Steve, it wasn't your fault. How could you have known that Loki broke out and went for the others?"
"I still should have been there. Loki killed them all, I couldn't help and now even the kids are… gone. This is all my fault. I was a terrible leader." Steve said.
Robert sighed and put a hand on his shoulder. "Steve, it's not your fault. I can understand what you feel. I lost my family as well but that's not a reason to be sulking. Well yea it is but you are an Avenger. You avenge your family and friends."
Steve looked away with dread. "It's not that simple."
Eric looked at his father a little surprised. He couldn't believe it. "Dad, it really wasn't your fault."
Steve sighed shaking his head. "It was, if I just, for example, stayed at the tower I could have helped Clint and Natasha fight against Loki. I could have maybe get to Stark or…" He stopped sighing and looking into the fire.
Alisa turned to Steve. "Steve, you couldn't have known and actually we wanted to ask you something."
"We do?" Marc asked and Lena elbowed him in the ribs. "Yes, it's actually for everyone here." She said looking at everyone else. People were listening to her and she looked at Eric to tell them.
He nodded and stepped forward. "We're actually planning on fighting against Loki's rule. We've planned to fight these creatures and we seek help. We ask anyone who is here to help us to fight against Loki. We could use the help and we would be really grateful for anyone who steps up and joins us."
Eric looked around after he was done and there was a huge silence in the abandoned subway. Everyone looked around and Zack asked again. "Anyone want to help us fight against Loki?"
Still no one said anything or even move. Marc sighed shaking his head. "It's a suicide mission." Steve told them.
They all looked at him confused and Alisa raised an eyebrow. "What?"
Steve looked at her. "No one is stepping up because it's a suicide mission. You may have all survived whatever Loki done to you but if he finds out you still exist he will do anything to get you killed."
Lena slightly flinched remembering that alien creature saying her name. Loki definitely knew she was alive and running around. She gripped something at her neck and Alisa saw this. She noted to ask her about that later.
"So what?" Marc asked. "You are going to sit here and sulk around and do nothing?"
"Marc." Eric warned but he shook his head. "I know he's your father Eric but he needs to listen to this. Steve, you are Captain America, you're an Avenger and Avengers avenge. I know that sounded stupid but it's the truth. We are going to avenge our parent's deaths and no one will stop us not even Loki."
Steve stayed quiet and Eric looked a little confused. "Dad? Will you please join us?"
The blonde sighed but shook his head. "I'm sorry, but it's a suicide mission. I'm sorry Eric."
The boy's face fell and he fell silent. Alisa turned to Steve a little angry. "You can't just say that! There's still hope! We still have hope! We are the last hope this town and world has!"
Marc looked at Lena and smirked. "And I thought you were the one with anger issues."
"Oh shut it Stark." She hissed at him but turned to Steve. "But Alisa is right. If there's still hope we should use it. And sorry Steve, but we're going whether you like it or not, with or without you."
"That's fine. I'm not stopping you. I'm just telling you it's a suicide mission." He told her simply. "And that there's no chance Loki can be defeated. He's unstoppable. We failed."
They all looked at each other worried but Eric turned away and headed down the tunnel. They looked all worried and Marc wanted to head for him but Alisa put an arm on his shoulder. "Let me talk to him."
Marc sighed but nodded. He let the Princess of Asgard talk to the son of Captain America who was in the dumps at the moment. They thought that Steve was the last one to lose hope. Well guess they were wrong. But if he lost hope doesn't that mean there is no hope?
They watched Alisa walk after Eric. Lena shook her head in disbelief. "I can't believe this." She sighed. Marc put a hand on her shoulder and slightly smiled at her. "Hey, at least he's alive."
She sighed but nodded. Zack walked up to them a little skeptic. "Hey, I know this is a delicate situation but we still have a problem. First of all, yea Steve is alive, but he's in the dumps and probably not going to help us. Eric is probably glad his father is alive, but devastated that he's acting like this. We need him to be on his best so we can do anything at all!"
Marc nodded. "Yea I know, Alisa is going to talk to him while retrieving her sword I'm guessing. I just hope she can talk some sense into him. We just need to figure out how to talk some sense into him." He said while motioning towards Steve who was ignoring them and looking into the fire."
Marc turned his head towards Lena and she looked at him confused. "What are you looking at me for? I can't talk sense into people. You know that!"
"I know, I know, I was just thinking…" Marc muttered. Zack snorted. "Wow, Marc thinking. Take a picture people, this is a rare sight to see!"
Lena chuckled as she turned to Zack. "You're sometimes quiet but I love your jokes."
Zack smirked at her while bowing slightly. "It's my pleasure."
Marc rolled his eyes as he turned towards the direction Eric and Alisa went. He just hopes she would get to him.
Avengers Assemble! Avengers Assemble! Avengers Assemble!
"Eric! Eric!" Alisa kept calling out. She was trying to find Eric after he decided to ditch them. Yea she understood him, but that doesn't mean he should just run!
"Damn that bastard. Running off like that." She mumbled. "When I get my hands on him he is going to get punched in the face for running off. God damn it, I still need to find my sword!"
To say the least she was slightly angry. Angry at Steve the most. How dare he say that there's no god damn hope! Eric just found out that he's alive and then he goes and destroys every single hope the guy has in his body.
She shook her head as she continued down the subway tunnel. She was worried for Eric. She may not show it at the moment but she was worried. Eric left in a hurry, probably wanting to get away from his father and think. But this place was filled with these creatures by now. They already killed two of those alien things and there could be more running around. This place wasn't the safest really.
Sighing Alisa kept on walking down the tunnel. She kept an ear out for any danger just in case. She wanted to find Eric and get back to the others. They will need all the help they could get but seeing that no one wanted to help them kind of sunk their hopes a little bit. But they will still go on even without the help of the others. Even without the help of Steve.
Well she at least hoped.
Alisa kept on walking until she heard a strange sound. She immediately stopped and looked around. She knew that sound and it was not good. She turned around and came face to face with an alien creature snarling at her.
Immediately she went for her sword but then realized it was gone. She slightly paled as she glanced up at the alien creature who was snarling at her.
She was in deep trouble.
Sorry about the cliffhanger. Thought it was a little change and I wanted to keep you hanging there. ;)
So Eric ran off, Alisa is in trouble and no one wants to help the kids. Not even Steve!
