Chapter 3
I do not own The Avengers or Spider-Man in any way.
A/N-For those who are wondering, this Spider-Man is Andrew Garfield's, because I don't like Tobey Maguire.
Over the next weeks, Madison became secretive.
Every night she slept in Steve's shirt until the smell wore off, then the nightmares started coming back.
They ranged anywhere from watching Loki kill Steve to Loki winning the battle and enslaving Steve and herself.
She spent more and more time with Peter, trying to get Steve off her mind, but sometimes that wasn't enough.
"And just where do you think you're going Katniss?" Tony asked her as she tried to sneak out of the tower.
"To hang out with Peter", she told him.
"With your bow and arrows?" he asked.
She sighed and decided to tell him. "I'm training again", she said, "I have to be prepared".
"Prepared for what? In case Fury lets you back in?" Tony asked.
"He will! He has to!" Madison said.
"And if he doesn't?" Tony asked her.
"I'll join Peter", she said.
"Madison…" Tony warned her.
She rolled her eyes. "See you later Tony", she said getting the elevator.
She made her way to Peter's hideout. "Pete?" she called.
"Look up", he said.
She did and found him hanging upside down from the ceiling. "What are you doing?" she asked him.
"Oh you know, just hanging around", he said.
"Ha-ha", Madison said sarcastically. She walked over to where they had set up a training section for Madison. She switched on the machine that fired tennis balls.
Peter had modified it so it would shoot the balls out at random intervals, keeping Madison on her toes. Peter thought it was amazing how she blocked the whole world out.
The way she fired arrows, made it look like she dancing.
As the balls started shooting out, Madison went into 'the zone'.
When the balls stopped, she was still in 'the zone'.
Momentarily forgetting where she was, she heard footsteps. She spun around fully intending on killing whatever was moving.
She looked around and found she was on the helicarrier in the training room.
Steve was standing in front of her. "I'm sorry I startled you", he said.
Madison smiled and lowered her bow. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her name.
"Madison…Madison. MADISON!" the voice yelled.
Madison closed her eyes. She opened them again and she was back in the warehouse.
Peter stood in front of her with his hands up.
She was still standing there with her bow drawn and an arrow aimed at Peter's heart. She dropped her bow. "I'm so sorry", she breathed.
"It's okay", he told her, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine", she lied.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"I told you I'm fine, Peter!" she yelled.
"Okay. I'm sorry", he said.
Madison wasn't fine and both of them knew it.
