"Has anyone seen Jade today" Steve asked as he walked in to the living room.
"cant say I have" Bruce said, the asguardians and Natasha and Clint agreed
"Try Tony or Sam or Pepper, maybe they've seen her" Clint said. Steve nodded and headed down to Tony's lab "have you seen Jade?"
"Nope. JARVIS where is Jade?" Tony asked getting no reply "That's weird" Tony said and went to check on JARVIS "He's been put on mute" Tony turned it on "JARVIS where is Jade?"
"She asked me not to tell anyone she was on the roof" The AI said exploiting a loophole.
Steve smiled "Thank you" and headed up there, he arrived up there and didn't see her, he searched around some more and found her hidden behind the antenna and it looked like she had been watching the clouds and fallen asleep in the warmth of the day, he noticed in her belt there were knives, she was barely visible in the shade. Steve took a step towards her and she bolted awake and had her hand on a dagger in her belt. Jade looked at Steve with a glare then softened realizing who it was and smiled a little.
"Captain did you find her!" Thors voice said as he came on the roof with Loki behind him.
"yeah I did" Steve said and Jade looked/glared at the two Asguardians, her eyes met Loki's and Loki paled and went back inside. Thor looked at Jade who had gone back behind the antenna
"What's wrong with her?" Thor asked.
"I don't know but I know shes not a fan of Loki" Steve said
"Jade come back inside, or give me your belt with the knives" Jade threw her belt out into the sun and Steve and went and picked it up, he looked over at her seeing she had turned invisible.
Thor sighed "Why do you think she is afraid of him?"
"It was probably a warning from her dad" Steve said and the dagger embedded itself centimeters in front of his face, the two looked back at where she was and two glowing eyes and a mouth and a metallic finger telling them to be quiet. Steve looked at the dagger and pulled it out and headed inside, Thor right behind him. Jade didn't come in for dinner that night.
While the Avengers were eating, Steve spoke up "me and Thor got a glimpse of Cheshire."
Clint looked at them "what do you mean?"
"I spoke about her father and something he said to her and a dagger ended up a few centimeters away from my face. We looked back at her and saw the Cheshire cat's glowing eyes and she told us to be quiet. So be careful what you say around her." Steve said. Hearing this got everyone's attention, especially Bruce and Loki. Bruce excused himself from the table and went to find her, he found her staring up at the stars, and she looked up at Bruce then went back to stargazing.
"can I see Cheshire?" Bruce asked sitting next to her and watched as her eyes changed to a neon green and she smiled her fangs had grown and then changed back to normal and shuddered.
"That Cheshire is another personality isn't it?" Bruce asked, Jade nodded "Your not the only one I'm the Hulk." Jade looked at him and smiled not believing him.
"come on, I have brownies hidden in my lab from Tony" Jade smiled and got up and they walked down, she was wearing her jacket to hide her arm from Loki. Jade looked at a calendar in Bruce's lab her birthday was a few weeks away, she took a marker and wrote on the calendar circling the date. Bruce handed her a brownie and she ate it quickly and smiled and signed Thank you, then left and went to her room. Bruce looked at the calendar and smiled seeing that her birthday was soon. He was going to take her stitches out in a few days.
July 4th
Jade put on a trench coat, when she got up. She looked at the clock, she had gotten up later than usual. She was going to go to a Starbucks down the street and have coffee with her dad. She was proud of her self that she had kept her arm hidden from Loki. Jade walked down to the front door and put a pair of sunglasses on and walked outside and down the street.
Bucky was waiting for her, he had gotten a hair cut and shaved and looked nice, he put his arm around her "happy birthday princess" Jade smiled and they sat in a booth together.
Bucky put a small box on the table along with a card "get what ever you want."
A waitress came over "what ca I get ya?" and she popped her gum. Jade pointed to a strawberry lemonade iced tea.
"I'll have the same" Bucky added and the waitress nodded and came back a few minutes later with their drinks. Bucky pushed the box and card to Jade and smiled. Jade opened the card and opened it a drivers license fell out and she picked it up then opened the box and it was a set of keys, she clicked them and a motorcycle outside the windows lights flashed. Jade hugged him and signed telling him about living at Avengers tower. They finished there drinks and paid then left, Bucky got on his motorcycle and Jade got on hers and put on a helmet and they veered into Traffic and drove around New York, they stopped and parked in front of Avengers tower. And went in, it was quiet they walked up to the living room
"SURPRISE!" the Avengers yelled out, Steve and Tony were the two closest, it took everything not to disappear. Bucky caught Jade when she jumped and kept her calm. Loki looked at Jade and this new guy and caught glimpse of a metal hand and tried to leave but Thor held him in place.
"Happy Birthday Steve" Bucky said and hugged Steve and handed him a card. Bucky looked over the crowd his eyes stopped on Loki and his smile wavered but he held it despite the murderess look in his eye and then turned back to Steve and Jade with a smile. Jade saw Bucky take off his Jacket and saw he still had the star painted on his metal arm. Jade took her coat off and kicked a balloon up in the air. Through out the party Bucky had disappeared with Loki.
Bucky shoved the asguardian against the wall "listen to me, and listen to me well punk. I will forget what you did to me if you can keep Jade from freaking out too much and keep her safe. Jade is my daughter and won't hesitate to kill you. Do you understand?" Loki nodded. Bucky smiled satisfied and they went back to the party. Tony and Thor were having a drinking competition. Jade was eating cake and watched them. Clint was sitting next to her on the back of the couch also eating cake. Steve was sitting in an old wooden chair watching them, Natasha was sitting on the table drinking Vodka. Sam was drunk and had passed out already in a chair. Bucky sat next to Jade. Loki ate a piece of cake, trying to find all the similarities in the two. Bucky joined in the drinking game challenging an already slightly sober Tony and Bucky got drunk, it lasted the rest of the day. Steve had passed out on the couch and every one was drunk except Jade and Loki. Jade went up to the roof to watch the fireworks and Loki joined her amazed by the bright lights. Jade set off a few and let Loki do some.
So I got Bucky in there... Please Review
