It was about a week later into Steve and Katie's new marriage. She woke up, like any other day, smiling as she looked at the empty space. He knew he was an early riser and went on jogs followed by making breakfast. He was routine. She started to sit up when she suddenly felt like her stomach would lurch out of her throat. She swallowed down the nauseous lump forming, making a mental note to go to the kitchen and get some ginger ale. Before she had to rush to her in-room rest room, kneeling and vomiting into the toilet.
It was moments later when she was coughing out the rest of it when she heard knocking on the rest room door. Having shut it, just in case Steve came to her aid. Which he did. "Katie..are you ok? JARVIS said you were sick." She sighed. Leave it up to JARVIS to tell you when your significant other is sick without your consenting. "I'm fine now sweetie." "Can I come in?" She groaned, getting up. Her stomach was still feeling off. "Just a sec." She rinsed her mouth and washed her face before answering the door. He frowned, gently reaching out to hold her arm. He had crackers in hand. "You look pale, maybe you should take it easy today." Katie shook her head. "No, I'm fine. Really." She was starting to feel better. It was strange. Then a light bulb went off in her head. "Steve...I think I might be pregnant." Steve tried not to look too excited. "Could JARVIS find that out?" Katie spoke, going to sit on the bed. "JAY, can you see if I'm pregnant?" "Yes mam." It was moments later that JARVIS spoke. "You are indeed pregnant with Captain Rodgers child." Katie smiled. "Thanks Jay." "Always mam." She turned to Steve with a smile who was wearing just as big a smile as her own. "Were gonna have a baby." Steve smiled,kissing her, holding her close. "I love you so much." Katie smiled. "We have to tell the family."
It was only seconds after she said that that she heard the sound of an explosion, followed by gunfire. It was close to, but muffled. Steve quickly went to the window, looking out into he city. "What the hell?" Katie frowned. "What is it?" "It's the city, everyone is attacking each other and everything around them. There's mobs out there." Katie frowned, becoming terrified. More terrified at the fact he would have to go help them fight. Suddenly JARVS spoke. "You're both needed in the living room. Agent Coulson is here to take you to the Bus." Katie raised an eyebrow, starting to get dressed. "A bus?" Steve quickly got the few weapons he had scattered in the room. A pistol being held by in his pants behind his back, enough for him to reach, a few knives but nothing too heavy duty. He had enough hand to hand to deal with nearly anything.
He and Katie made it downstairs where the rest of the family was. Clint and Gage looked ready to go to war, Tony held his Iron Man suit case and Quinn, TJ and Kim looked downright terrified and worried. He didn't blame them for that. Agent Coulson saw Steve enter, pressing the comm in his ear. "He's here sure." He nodded before looking at the group."Where were taking you is called "The Bus." It's about 10 minutes out from here inside the airport. From there the Hellicarrier is a half hour away. Any questions?" Kim held up her hand. "Uh who is running this..Bus? Are they safe?" Coulson nodded. "My personal team. I understand your distrust but I assure you, there's no people better in S.H.I.E..L.D " Kim nodded. If Coulson trusted them she knew she could.
Steve looked to Coulson. His hands were folded behind his back, ready for action. "Ready to go sir?" Coulson nodded. "Lets go." He started to head to Tony's garage, everyone following. Coulson got a disk like instrument out, no bigger then a small CD and put it on the side of one of Tony's hummer, on the drivers side. Tony half glared, holding TJ's hand. "No, go head, use my car without asking." Coulson opened the door easily after the disk beeped then got in, starting it. Everyone else crammed in. Steve was up front so he could have better view, Gage and Clint had the window seats for the same reason, leaving the girls in the middle, protected while Tony was in the way back with TJ. Quinn cried quietly into her moms shoulder. Katie was fighting off nausea. Now as not that time. She only hoped that they got to the Bus fast.
Coulson sped out of that garage, talking to JARVIS. "JARVIS, is this car protected?" "Yes sir, it has bullet proof windows, able to withstand the highest grade rocket, the shielding is able to withstand-" Coulson cut him off, pulling out into the riots of the city. There were a few fires, people already shooting at the car. "Got it." He was gonna trust JARVIS. It was the most trusted AI for a reason. Steve had his gun out, watching closely at the window for any cracks or breaks. Coulson came into a large pack of rioters, turning sharply into an ally. "Hold on!" Agent Coulson shouted before taking the sharp turn. Tires screeching before resuming there roll down the alley. There was a sudden jerk of the car. JARVIS bringing up a scan of someone that had jumped onto the ceiling, tearing at the car in a vain effort. Gage was the first to react, putting his window down. "Coulson, stay steady!" "Rodger that!" Gage hoisted himself to sit in the window. Thanking God is was the middle of July and not December. The person had a crazed look, it wasn't natural that was for sure. The man tried to lash out at him, growling before Gage took aim at the mans shoulder. The man yelped in pain, losing grip, falling off the vehicle. Gage went back safely inside the SUV. Coulson nodded. "Good shooting, Smith." Gage smiled weakly, his heart still beating fast from that. "Thanks."
They got tot he airport. Coulson having to show his badge since there was so much extra security from the riots all over the city. They let him in. He drove to the gigantic garage were the bus was, parking near enough away that it wouldn't have problem taking off. He parked smoothly, turning off the car. Kim let Quinn out first then her. Once Katie was out she fell to the concrete of the hanger, dry heaving the acid in her stomach. Steve went to her worriedly, rubbing her back. Kim watched worriedly. She assumed it was the rougher then normal car ride.
Coulson escorted them on board, making sure each got in safely. Kim was the first inside, looking around. It looked like a flying hotel. It was gorgeous. She smiled weakly. "Wow...it's beautiful." Tony followed with Quinn and TJ, he smiled. "Nice digs Agent." Next in was Katie who was feeling too weak and sick at the moment to truly appreciate it. Steve made sure she got to the medical/science wing. Clint and Gage were the last on, looking around. Gage whistled. "Nice." Clint smirked weakly looking around. Coulson closed the door to the plane. "If you could all take a seat, I'll let the crew know your on board." He walked away, going to the cockpit. Tony sat down next to Kim, bringing TJ in his lap. Quinn, was next to Kim, looking around curiously. Gage and Clint took there seats across from them, looking around as well.
Steve got Katie into the medical/science wing (more science then anything) Fitz and Simmons smiled, letting them in. Simmons was the first to go over. "Hello Captain Rodgers." Steve smiled weakly. "Hey, can you help her? Shes feeling a little sick." Fitz started backing away. "It's not flue is it because-" Katie smiled weakly, looking a bit pale. "Not flu. I'm pregnant. I just found out today actually." Simmons smiled. "Oh congratulations! Here, I'm sure we can find you something to settle your stomach. Just lay her down on that bed." Steve nodded, gently picking Katie up with ease, laying her on the medical bed.
Simmons went around looking at there various medications. "Ah! Here we are!" She came over with a small orange bottle and bottle of water. "Here. This should settle your stomach. Anti-nausea pills work wonders, believe me, I've had to used them before." Katie smiled gratefully, taking them from her. "Thanks."
It was a few minutes later that the crew of the plane came to meet the Stark family. Tony stood, along with the other and they came in. Coulson stood next to them but before he could start Skye spoke. "Uh wheres Katie?" Tony spoke. "Shes in medical. Shes was a little sick." Skye nodded, taking off toward medical. Coulson continued, as if that didn't happen. " This is my crew. This Agent Ward." Ward nodded, waving. "Hello." Coulson continued. "Agent May. Shes our pilot." She nodded. "It's a pleasure meeting you." Coulson continued. "Agent Fitz and Simmons are in the medical, currently taking are of Katie. And the one that ran off was Skye." Tony nodded. "Nice..meeting you all. I think you all know who I am. This is my wife, Kim." Kim waved, smiling weakly. Tony knelled to Quinn and TJ. "These are our kids, Quinn and TJ." Quinn waved, TJ smiled, waving. "Hi!" Tony pointed to the side of him where Gage and Clint stood. "And these are our bodyguards, Gage and Clint." Gage nodded, waving. "Hey." Clint nodded, hands folded behind his back.
Once everyone was relaxing and talking, TJ was sitting in front of Agent Ward while he drank a bottle of water. "Have you ever had to shoot anyone?" Tony over heard, shaking his head. Ward spoke. "uh a lot, it's not a good thing little man." "Did you kill anyone?" Tony sighed, pulling TJ away. "TJ, you don't ask questions like that." Ward smiled weakly. "It's fine, , he's just curious. He should know what he's getting into if he wants to be a S.H.I.E.L.D Agent." He looked to TJ. "Yes, I have but they were bad people." TJ's eyes widen. "Did you get hurt?" Ward chuckled weakly. "Your full of questions. Yes. I have, many times. Many times I almost didn't make it."
Quinn was in the Science lab with Katie, Fittz, Simmons and Skye, walking and looking around. Simmons smiled, answering any question she had. Fitz watched amazed. Skye was next to Katie. "Wow, your sister is smart." Katie smiled. "Yep,shes building a suit and everything. I can't even imagine what her IQ is."
The bus was landing on the Hellicarrier runway. Fury was coming out to meet them. Tony walked up to Fury, Kim holding both Quinn and TJ's hands. Fury spoke first. "What did you do this time Stark?" Tony scoffed. "I did nothing. For once." Fury gave him a look. " For once." Fury started speaking to Coulson. "Agent, Please escort family to the living center." "Yes sir." Fury looked to Tony and Steve. "The rest follow me. We need all the help we can get." Gage and Clint straightened up, on guard now more then ever since this started. Quinn looked worriedly up at Gage. "Your gonna go fight those people arnt you?" Gage smiled sadly, now inside with the rest of them. He knelled down to her. "Yeah, looks like it. I promise, I'll be back. Ok?" Quinn nodded, her eyes watering in worry. He hugged her, kissing her head.
Kim smiled sadly, holding her daughters hand. TJ looked sadly at Clint. "You to?" Clint ruffled his hair. "Afraid so little man." TJ's eyes watered, his lip trembling. "What if you don't come back?" Clint knelled down. "Hey, don't think like that. I's come back. I always come back, don't I?" TJ nodded, rubbing his eye. Clint smiled. "Good. You be good, take care of your mom." TJ nodded, wiping his tears, standing straight, his chest puffing out. "Yes sir." Tony chuckled. "Fathering my son there Barton?" Clint smirked. "Someone has to." Fury sighed, rolling his eyes. "The meeting room. Now." Tony kissed kims cheek before quickly going with fury, Gage, Clint and Steve following close behind. Steve kissing Katie goodbye as he followed.
Coulson looked to the girls and TJ. "This way." Kim nodded, picking TJ up, holding him close, knowing he was upset. Quinn followed, her eyes downcast, her head eating away at her with worry for her family. Katie took her hand, leading her. "Hey, you're knight will be ok." Quinn nodded, Katie wished she believed that.
Fury was in front of the table, a few files on it as Tony , Steve, Gage and Clint came in. Natasha followed soon after, Tony smiled. "Natasha, been a while." Natasha smirked. "I've been around." Bruce and Thor were the next in. Tony chuckled. "Hey point break!" Thor nodded, going over to him. Hammer in hand. "Hello, Man of Iron." Bruce sat down quietly near tony. Tony smiled."Hey Bruce." Fury let out a breath. "Can we get started?" Everyone paused as he opened a file.
"From what we've gathered this is some form of mind control. Were not exactly sure where yet but were working on locating it. Stark, I want you working with banner, locate the source. Were hoping it acts like the tesseract. One strong hit to the head should do it. We don't want to use lethal force unless necessary. Your free to go now. Mr. Stark, update me as soon as you locate the source." Tony nodded, getting up. "Will do. com'on Dr. Banner. You heard the man." Bruce got up, following Tony out to the lab.
Gage got up, going to the window of the hellicarrier. It was above the clouds but underneath was madness and hell. People were killing each other for no reason other then because they could. He hoped it only took one hit to the head. "Agent Smith?" Gage turned, smiling weakly when he saw Maria Hill. He nodded. "At your service." She smiled. "I'm Agent Maria Hill. It's nice to formally meet you." Gage smiled. "Pleasures mine." Maria sighed. "so what do you think this is?" Gage looked at her. "What do you mean?" Maria smiled. "I know you cant' be all brawn. You got thoughts to. I want to hear them." He smirked weakly. "Honey, I'm not paid to think." Maria smirked weakly. "doesn't mean your not allowed to have thoughts of your own." Gage smiled before frowning, looking out the window. "Just...shocking. People are dying down there, at there own hands. We may not have a city if we don't figure this out, and fast." Maria nodded solemnly. "You will. I know you will." Gage looked to her confused. "Why do you have so much faith in us?" She smiled weakly. "We got the Avengers. There isn't any enemy they can't defeat."
