Steve gave a soft laugh at her comment. He didn't think he would be able to for a while, but sure enough Sharon Carter made him. "I'm no medic... But i'll see what I can do." He joked, moving closer to her as he gently put his hands on her. When it came to his strength, he made sure to be extremely careful when around Sharon. He was always good with it to begin with, but Dr. Erksine's words echoed through his head, strength had to have a limit. The one who earned strength won't misuse it. Her skin was soft to the touch, she smelled intoxicatingly good. He pushed some of her blonde hair out of the way as her lips gently touched her skin. He was glad she was safe, and here. He was glad that he didn't have to say goodbye to another person in his life... and he was really glad that she wasn't anywhere near Tony, where he would have tried everything to be in his position now.

"Feeling any better?" He said against her neck, kissing her skin softly. He never said it to her, he was always afraid to say it because in their line of work, it was dangerous to say these three words. He had strong feelings for her. More than a loyalty, or a bond you share when you're fighting alongside someone. It was more powerful... Steve Rogers was in love with Sharon Carter, but things were going go right now. He didn't want to scare her, or learn she didn't feel the same. Stupid, I know, but Steve is rather stupid when it comes to dating.

Not only were Gamora, Drax, and Quill surprised by her sudden praise of Rocket, but even he was too! His ears twitched a bit, his face full of confusion, and when Groot said his lines, he looked over at him. "Really?" He looked back at Nikki. "Don't look like to me... except beautiful..."

Gamora's voice awoken Quill. "She's not really a friend..." He muttered. He walked in between her and Rocket, looking at him. "Speeder's good to go?" He asked, looking at the barely usable vehicle. Rocket looked up at him. "Hm? Oh, yeah, its fine." "I am Groot." "You don't do anything except try to eat a fusion cable." Rocket then looked at Nikki in between Quill's legs. "So, are there mighty stories of my kind? With big big guns? And explosion?" Rocket asked with a smile.

"We're getting off topic--" Quill started.

"Look, Quill. I'm trying to have a nice conversation with someone you clearly upset--"

"You don't even know the sto--"

"And as such an important figure to her culture, I think I have more authority than you." Rocket said. Quill opened his mouth in shock. "Hey, remember that time I grabbed the infinity stone? Remember when I am the captain of the ship? Remember who saved your furry butt so many times from loan sharks on Nowhere--"

"We agreed that we would never speak of that."

"I am Groot."

"I agree! Totally breaking friendship codes!"

"Can we get off this planet before we get killed by these robots?" Gamora shouted angrily, obviously tired of the bickering. "I agree. There is more robotic blood to be shed." Drax said, pulling out his blades. Quill nodded, then looked back at Rocket. "Come on, your grace." He said sarcastically, grabbing him by the neck and tossing him in the speeder. He jumped in the driver's seat, pushing the button to put his helmet on. "You coming, your highness? Or are you afraid I might sell you to those robots over there for a couple cans of motor oil?"

Steve was a humble man. He didn't expect a thank you for his deeds. He didn't want a parade in his honor, and he sure as hell didn't want to gloat about him being "perfect." So when she said hew as hope, it was hard to keep eye contact with her. All he wanted to do was to fight the bad guys... but her words did help. The hand on his face was calming after all that's happened today. Until the shooter was caught, and taken in to custody, that's when he won't worry, or get it off his mind. That was his thoughts until Sharon's lips touched his. It was good to feel something warm and soft, even if his lip was a bit bruised by being punched in the face a few times.

"Who ever said I wanted to get rid of you?" He finally said after the kiss, giving a small smile. "So... I think we deserve some pizza, a nice movie... and I wouldn't be a good soldier if I didn't make sure you were okay everywhere. You could have a hidden injury I don't know about..." Steve said with a smile. He wasn't used to this whole flirting thing, but they deserved some time to relax for a bit until going to work at Stark Towers tomorrow.

You Get What You Give

me too, but there's not much I can do in the RP right now hahaha

Spider-Man: Childhood Friends (Jones Sparrow and EasilyAmused)

"Ooohh, this looks nice! what do you think Peter?"

kiiiilll meeeeeee was his initial thought as he stood awkwardly in the middle of the woman's department in the mall. He hated shopping, he hated being laughed at for hanging out with his aunt instead of people his age at the mall.. But he loved his aunt, so he was willing to go shopping with her. "It looks great... I'm sure she'll love it!" Peter said with a nod. Aunt May glanced at Peter and laughed. "you're so much like your Uncle... Here, take this. Get something nice for Lexi-you're taking the money, I don't want to hear any protest." She was a hard woman to negotiate with. Peter took and money and nodded. "Alright... thank you." He said humbly.

She nodded with a smile. "Good luck."

Peter searched every store... again. How was he going to give Lexi anything?? He didn't want to get her a book. He didn't want to give her new boots, or anything like that.... Then he saw it. A jewelry store. A bit cliché... but he had an idea for this. Not some random piece of expensive jewelry... But something meaningful. He walked in, and started to ask a question about a necklace...

---

Peter had it all figured out! He got Lexi's gift (that would be ready to pick up before Christmas), he finished the struggle of finding other gifts for the family friends, and then made their way back home. Now it was evening, the sky now black. Peter still had the money Lexi gave him to do something about his cold suit, but he didn't have the time to get it then. The snow was falling lightly in the city as Spider-man swung through the skyscrapers. It had been a while since he put on the suit. Sure it has only been a day and a half, but it felt like forever!

The latex suit was fine in the winter, but if he stood still, that's when it got to him, or if someone shoots at him, and cuts a hole through it. Then its a game of "save Peter from freezing to death while fighting off thugs." He was going to meet Lex at the place they usually did, the place he took her the day they became a couple... Hopefully it'll be a slow night so that they can get to that fireplace sooner--

Spider-senses!

Too late. Peter was tacked from the side in mid air by what felt like a big, smelly mammoth. They both landed on a rooftop, and Spider-Man immediately kicked him off, rolling backwards onto his feet, staring at the thing that hit him, but it was short lived. As soon as he kicked the man off he was already pouncing at him with a large machete. Spidey easily dodged three swipes, and then he shot a web at his eyes, and kicked him back.

The man laughed, ripping the webbing off his face easily. "Truly the ultimate prey... my other victims would have died by now." The man spoke in a thick russain accent.

"Alright... I'm gonna pretend like that's a normal thing to say.... Thank you...?" Spidey asked, tilting his head. "Where can I get one of those cool looking leopard vest? And those real furry gloves? Oh wait... Those aren't gloves." Peter said as if he was disappointed.

"you think you are funny, Spider? Joking when we are so close to your death? Kraven the Hunter never loses his prey." The russain man said, staring at spider-man. It took a few seconds for him to respond. "Oh, wait-- I'm the prey? and you're the... Oh no... Look, buddy. I'm not sure if they have spiders in crazyville, but they aren't tall, red and blue, and speak English."

"I have seen the television, and how you fight the puny thieves around here... You fight with such grace, and skill! I have fought many things, the mightiest of beasts... But I knew you were the ultimate prey. The one that will put all of my skills to the test, and Calypso will help me..." Kraven said, a death grin on his face. "so. Let us begin."

Peter gave a sigh, holding up his hands ready to fight. "Its gonna be one of those nights..." Peter mumbled under his breath as the man charged at him, machete drawn.

Peter had no witty comment, no defending himself, nothing. He just stared at her in disbelief. Did she really think he was going to just sell another person to another? She was obviously pissed at him, and he was pissed at her! He lost his money, he had to escape the Collector's fleet, and he lost some quality time with a very good looking girl! She made for the exit, Gamora giving him a look. "Yes, I knew her. No, I didn't sleep with her." Quill said, walking after her. Gamora opened her mouth to say something else but Quill beat her to it. "And no, i'm not the kind of guy to sell other people." Quill called out to her.

And then everything went wrong. The guy they were looking for was taking off, then it blew up, and then his little henchmen blew up Nikki's ship.... Sure that was a very brief description, but it did seem to go incredibly fast. There was silence until Drax broke it with his literal state of mind. Quill then made his way to her. "First of all, I am many things, but a slave trader is not one of them!" He said, facing her, and pointing a finger. "Second of all, you were the one that panicked, blew up the collector's house, and flew off with ME to deal with."

"We blew up his house too though--"

"That's not the point Drax." Peter said to him, still looking at Nikki though. "So don't pretend that you know me. don't keep a non existent grudge, because the Guardians of the Galaxy are the only way off this joint as of right now."

As he finished, A speeder came driving through, and then halted in front of them, where a giant tree creature and a raccoon stumbled out. "Quill! What the hell happened?! Was that our bounty that went up in--" He stopped and looked at Nikki, looking her up and down. "Well heloo sweetheart... You need a lift?"

"I am Groot."

"That wasn't that bad of a pick-up line, shut up!" Rocket hissed at Groot.

"Yeah... We're the Guardians of the Galaxy." Quill said with a nod, with Gamora glaring at Nikki, Drax looking at the explosion, and Rocket and Groot bickering between themselves.

Steve kept his hand gently on her shoulder, but then somewhat melted as he hand touched his cheek. He obeyed her movements, his face in front of hers, but his eyes still staying away from her beautiful ones. He listened to her words, she meant good with them, but they made him feel worse. He finally looked at her, her beautiful features full of concern. "My whole entire life I wanted to help people. And when I got the chance, I did... But now, here... I feel helpless. I couldn't stop the bombs from going off, I couldn't save anyone who needed help, I couldn't even stop the guy that shot at you." He shook his head, his voice quiet.

"I understand the world has changed. Morals are more complicated now, and there's more than just a strong super soldier in the world. I've watched so many people die. I really don't want you to be one of them." The last few weeks with Sharon have been fantastic, and he wasn't just saying that. It has been such a long time since he felt at home, and their two apartments did. It was dangerous for both highly skilled agents to be dating, but he wasn't going to let her go. He wasn't going to let anything happen to her. Even if God himself started to attack New York.

Spider-Man: Childhood Friends (Jones Sparrow and EasilyAmused)

Peter could tell Lexi was crying for obvious reasons. He didn't want to try and nag her, or talk about it. He was done thinking about Harry. He forgave his old best friend, he will check up on him, get him anything he needs, but he will not let him hurt anyone he loved ever again. It wasn't him that did it, but if he was desperate enough to take venom, he would do some desperate things later in life, maybe not as bad but still. He gently took Lexi's hand, keeping her close, and kissed the side of her head gently. "It would have killed me inside to not be able to visit him one last time." He said gently. "Now that we know he'll be okay... I'm just glad we were able to save him." Peter nodded, making their way to the car. It wasn't easy to bring things back up to a happy mood. Sure their friend will be better, and that's great news! but the way he looked, and what he did were things that they couldn't get over.

As they climbed in to the car, Peter's phone rang, and saw it was his Aunt. "Hey Aunt May, what's up?"

"I didn't see you come in last night." She said, a feel of relief in her voice as he heard his voice. "yeah, I'm really sorry about that. I came home really late, and I had to get up early to deliver some photographs to the Bugle..." He said, lying became a bad habit ever since he was Spider-Man, especially to Aunt May. Looking back he should have called Aunt May to say where he was so she wouldn't worry. "Its alright, Peter, I'm just glad you're safe. I'm sure you're with Lexi now, but if you don't mind leaving her side, I think it'd be nice if you and I could go Christmas shopping for the Rogers family, and the Osbornes, and a few other families." She said. This was a perfect opportunity! He could get a few gifts for everyone, find a good gift, patrol the city as Spider-Man for a bit, and then go back to Lexi's house to spend another night. You know, Peter Parker had a very rough life, but every once in a while his life went very well.

He ended his conversation with Aunt May, and turned to Lex. "So Aunt May needs me back at the house to help her with her infamous 'winter cleaning..' why she doesn't do it in the spring like normal people is beyond me..." Peter mumbled, leaning over his seat to kiss Lexi's lips. "If you could drop me off, i'll help her for a little while, and then we'll meet back with each other dressed in spandex." He gave a smile and kissed her again. "Then I can pick up some marshmallows, and chocolate and all that and we can cook some smores in a fireplace..." Peter trailed his lips down her cheek, and to her neck. If he was going to leave Lexi, he was going to make sure she knew that he was going to be very happy to see her again.

Gift shopping, patrolling the city he loved, and then some smore cooking near a warm fire, how awesome did that sound?!

Captain America and Agent 13 (Jones Sparrow and EasilyAmused)

After the little embarrassment in front of the office, Steve didn't go home. Instead he went to a gym. Steve walked in, his suit in his old dufflebag since he had no locker anymore. He needed to think, and he didn't think he could face Sharon right now. He didn't know what she would think of the legendary Steve Rogers losing her possible killer. He set up punching bags, punching them, lost in thought. Who was this guy? How did he get that robot arm? And how did he stand his punches? This guy was clearly his primary target. If he ever showed up again, he was going to get him. He won't be so lucky next time. After knocking 8 punching bags off the rack, he decided he should go back home, and make sure Sharon was alright.

He drove his motorcycle back to the apartment complex, climbing off. His cuts and bruises were smaller now, but his sides and face was still sore from the beating with the metal arm. He now wore his a gray athletic t-shirt, some jeans, and some sneakers. He walked up the stairs, and saw Sharon's door open. He was afraid of what she might say to him, but he cared for her, and wanted to make sure she was alright. He walked over to the door, giving a light knock. "Hey... How're you holding up?" He asked, stepping inside to see her working on bandaging her own arm, and making faces. Steve smiled, shaking his head. "Looks like you need a hand..." He walked over to Sharon, sitting next to her, taking the bandage, but not making eye contact with her. "Is this the only injury you got?" Steve asked gently, once putting on the bandage he used his free arm to gently run his hand up her shoulder.

You Get What You Give

Hey Rowdy, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your pet... I had to put down two dogs in my life, and know how tough it can be. Please don't feel like you're rushed and HAVE to post, we'll still be here haha. I hope you're feeling alright!
