Thank you to BeckaR for your review and thank you to everyone that has been reading and following this story. In the last chapter Steve took Bella on a date to Coney Island and it was the perfect date until the paparazzi came and the date got cut short. Steve made up for it by taking Bella up to the roof. Let's see how Bella will handle being in the spotlight. I know back in the first chapter that I said Bella was 17 I'm sorry but she is 18.

I don't own Twilight or the Avengers.

Please don't forget to read and review. Enjoy!

Chapter 11

I woke up the next morning and showered and put some jeans and tank top and put my hair into a high pony tail. I went to the family floor to eat something for breakfast. As I walked in I noticed that everyone was staring at me and then I noticed that Bruce tried to hide the paper behind him. I asked everyone what was going on did I have something on my face and they said no. So by now I was getting a little nervous I looked at them and said someone needed to tell me what is going on before I lose my mind. Finally I noticed that Steve wasn't at the table and asked everyone did he have to leave to go on a mission and they said no that he was in the gym working out. Finally Tony decided to just take the paper from behind Bruce and reached it to me. I looked and right there on the front page was pictures of me and Steve the one in the center of the page was of me and Steve walking down the boardwalk hand in hand. The others were of us playing the different games at the booth and me holding all of the stuffed animals that Steve had won me. I noticed the last one was of me and Steve getting into the cab to come home. The caption on the front page was Captain America on a Date with Unnamed Beauty Could this be America's next Power Couple! I looked at everyone shocked and told them that we didn't know the paparazzi was there until they came out of nowhere snapping pictures of us. My uncle Tony said "it's ok Bells I know how they do but, now we have to release a statement so they don't try to come up with their own stories because if they do come up with their own stories you could be painted as a gold digging tramp before the day is over with. We will let Pepper handle the statement and then you and Steve will have to been seen around the town together often and whenever you are approached by the paparazzi you will need to stop and smile and answer a minimal of 3 questions and after that you go back to doing whatever it is y'all were doing. Do you think that you can handle that because there will be times they will make up something anyways because the public loves a juicy story. So before you go any further you need to make sure you really want to be with Steve and if you can handle everything you two will face." "Ok well let me talk to Steve first and see what he wants to do first and then I will get back to you in about 15 minutes." I left and caught the elevator to get to the gym.

As I got off the elevator I looked around and the sight the was before me was one of the sexiest sights ever I saw Steve bench pressing a lot of weights, and let's just say there was a few things I could see us doing on the bench. I called his name and he look up at me and smiled and said "good morning." I told him good morning as well and asked if there was somewhere we could talk. He got up and took my hand and we walked to the elevator and we went to roof and I was starting to think of the roof as our place. We sat down in the center of the roof and he asked me was this talk about the morning paper and I told him yes. "Isabella I just want you to know that I will understand if you decide not to take our relationship any further because the press can be nerve wrecking but, that's not what I want. I also don't want you to try just to prove something, it will be a challenge either way but if you decide you want to keep trying I will do everything to keep you safe whenever we are in public and if you don't want to talk to them you don't have to." "Thank you and I was just wanting to tell you that the press will not stop me from having feeling for you. My only concern is that they will make it seem like you should be with a model or something. I'm no model but I am a me and I am happy with the person I am and the person I know I can be and if you can accept me baggage and all then who are the press to rain on our parade." "I think I can handle that just fine so should we go tell Tony and Pepper to make the statement then Isabella?" I nodded my head yes and we went to talk to Pepper, she was happy that we decided to not let the press win. "Ok" Pepper said, "I will handle everything from here then. Steve looked to me and asked "so where should we lead the paparazzi today?" "How about we go to the Statue of Liberty." "Ok sounds fine to me, let's leave at 11 and we should get there around 11:30 and we can grab lunch at Crown Cafe or Ellis Cafe you can choose." "Ok that sounds like fun. I should go get ready." "Ok, do you have any objections to riding on a motorcycle?" "I don't but you might want to talk to my dad first because he likes to call them two wheeled death machines. How about I dress to ride just in case he says yes though." "Ok I will go talk to Charlie and I will see you in a little while."

Since Tasha and Clint were out I asked Pepper for help in deciding on a outfit and a hairstyle that I wouldn't have to worry about helmet hair. Pepper told me "it's important that you remember that you can never again go out in public in just sweatpants and a tee shirt because the press will always see you and they will always have something to say about your hair and outfits and accessories." I told her ok and then we finally decided on some white denim shorts and an ice blue spaghetti strap shirt with my ice blue ballet flats. For my jewelry we decided on my ice blue butterfly hair clip and my earrings and bracelet to match. We kept my hair simple we left it down with curls all over. Pepper did my make-up and while she was doing that she was expelling to me about the press release that she did a little while ago and that when we leave she will leak that Steve and I are going to the Statue of Liberty, and that I should be myself and that America will fall in love with me. I told her I didn't want America to fall in love with me but at least I can be myself. She told me that she had already told the press that I am Tony's niece that has moved from Washington to come live with him and that me and Steve have been dating for a few weeks. She also told me to be as honest as I can and to try and smile and after I answer a few of the presses questions to try and ignore them and if I start to get agitated to squeeze Steve's hand and he would get me out of there as soon as possible. I asked her how would Steve know that if she hasn't told him, she told me that she tells everyone on the team that when they start dating that its like a code that everyone on the team uses. They are always prepared and she told me that we would have S.H.I.E.L.D security agents with us as well but they would not be in the usual uniform that they would blend in with the tourist as much as possible, and that Steve may also be asked for autographs and photos as well. Finally she was finished and it was 10:45 so we went upstairs to the family floor and Steve hadn't made it upstairs yet so I talked to my dad and uncle Tony for a few minutes while I waited. My dad told me to be careful on Steve's motorcycle and to make sure I held on tight. Before I could ask him since when did he think it was ok to get on motorcycles Steve walked in with a helmet in his hand for me and asked was I ready. I nodded yes I guess I am as ready as I will ever be.

Here goes nothing.

I know you guys would like to know what happens on the date, you won't have to wait to long I will hopefully have chapter 12 up within an hour or so. I am so proud of myself I've been getting chapters up with no problem but don't get used to it because some days I get so busy I have no time to get anything done.

Please let me know what you thought of this chapter and the next chapter we see Bella and Steve's date with the press following them around.
