You screamed as a car flew over your head. There was this alien army, the Chitauri, as some Avenger had yelled.

And they were in New York. New fucking York.

And you didn't want to be scared, but you were.

And, you had reason to be, when one of their ships flew past you and one of the Chitauri swept you up and held you in a chokehold, hissing loudly.

"LET ME GO!" you screamed. It did not let you go, not that you had expected it to.

"HELP!" you called. "Help, someone please-!"

The Chitauri covered your mouth, and you stope screeching the palm tasting like a revolting mixture of dirt and sweat. The ship stopped on the top of a building, and the alien held you over the edge, with a kind of grin that made you think it was an enjoyable sport, for them.

Why me? you thought, struggling in vain. I'm just an ordinary human. I didn't do anything to the Chitauri.

Seeing no one sweeping in to rescue you (who would?), the Chitauri appeared to shrug and dropped you off the side of the building.

You screamed, but stayed in a pin dive position, because you were going to smash through the roof of a glass greenhouse, if you survived the fall. You closed your eyes.

Just before impact, something grabbed you around the waist and pulled you away from the glass. You landed on top of the something, which groaned loudly.

You rolled off with wide eyes to see Captain America himself. Who was ... hot damn, so much hotter in person.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry, are you okay, thank you-" a stream of words erupted from your mouth.

Cap squinted at you, taking in your worried face and beautiful e/c eyes. "It's fine, I'm fine, you're welcome."

"I can't thank you enough, Captain America," you smiled at him.

He grinned for a moment.

"Call me Steve," he responded, pausing to shake your hand with a little wink.

"Y/N."

Steve released your hand. "Pleasure, Y/N. Would you like to meet me, say, 12 noon tomorrow, at the base of Stark's tower?"

You grinned. "Of course."

He was whisked away by the battle moments later, but that silly little smile of yours lingered.
