Steve had to admit, he hadn’t actually expected to make it close enough to her to get hands on her, let alone pin her. but he uses all the strength he has to keep her there, knows that it probably won’t last– but it gives everyone else a chance to regroup, at least. they’ve been at this for at least an hour, now– the minions that she’s brought along with her currently keeping his friends occupied enough… maybe he should’ve put over coms what his plan was, here. because now he’s just got her pinned, aware that at any moment she could probably snap his wrists– or disappear.
it’s the first time he’s been so close to her, actually. and as she fidgets in his grasp, her breath fans out across his cheeks, and Steve presses closer to try and keep her there. it’s fruitless, he knows, but he’ll TRY. he’ll blame instinct for the way that his gaze drops to her lips, but he regrets it immediately when he watches the sly smirk spread across black lips. what surprises him, though, is the way she cants her hips and looks at him through her lashes, causing his brows to arc up a little as he blinks at her. don’t. don’t get distracted.
❝ that’s not– shut up. ❞ he takes a beat to glance over his shoulder– but no one is actually watching. down the torn up street, he can see Clint get thrown into a car. he bounces back up, thankfully, and Steve turns back to her. ❝ call them off. this is over. ❞
it goes to show how little energy the goddess has left, allowing herself this moment of respite by TOYING with a surprisingly midgardian mid-battle. his words were met with her sly smirk widening, green eyes flashing rbightly as she slid just a touch closer, lips parting as she moved to whisper closer to a clean-shaved jawline, " make me. " with this she'd give a laugh —— looking away and watching her beloved soldiers chase after a fairly banged up redhead.
darkened digits raised up to card through short blonde locks of hair, the goddess surging forth and gripping his hair —— murmuring with words far too loving for the situation, " that looked like it hurt.. but what is life but chaos ? " the goddess clearly finding this situation nothing short of FUN. with a blinding flash of green the hela twirled a finger, green shackles reaching up and around the good captain's extremeties, keeping him properly stuck in his current position, only the goddess now moving around and circling.
" this is only over when i have my fill, " she'd proclaim, grin widening to something marginally more unsettling. " don't you tire of being so good, captain ? when have you ever done something you wanted ? " she'd turn her gaze back to him, grin turning into that familiar smirk. " TELL ME, what is it you want ? i am nothing if not a merciful goddess.. "
