         ‘   take a breather , steve   ’        clint motioned towards his couch , one of the only pieces of furniture in this barren apartment , and moved towards the makeshift kitchen .           ‘   you’d think fury , or someone , could’a put me somewhere nicer   ’

     HE  CAN  TASTE  THE  TANG  OF  IRON  &&  a  fleck  of  vermillion  is  swiped  from  an  alabaster  cheek  .  bruised  lips  part  over  those  opposite  ,  veil  a  mouth  of  valiant  command  .  the  pad  of  his  thumb  —  calloused  by  gunmetal  —  ghosts  the  edge  of  a  shadowed  jaw  .  the  sergeant  exhales  frostbitten  oxygen  ,  cages  the  captain’s  lower  lip  between  stark  canines  &&  presses  a  smirk  against  war-stained  flesh  .

     “ so you expect me to follow you blindly ? ”     not that bedelia is resisting ; she is only questioning .     “ why should i do that ? ”     stepping closer to the male , however , it is evident she intends to listen . for now .

                 Loki took in what Steve had to say, he didn't blame him. He'd brought a lot of distruction onto New York when he first came here. He could only hope that Thor would be able to convince the Avengers that he was more valuable as an ally than an enemy. ❝And what of the rest of your precious Avengers. I doubt they all hold the same values as the 'Star Spangled Man' as I've heard you called Captain.❞

        ❛     its  always  a  pleasure  to  see  you  captain               rogers.  and  to  what  do  we  owe  this  visit ??               not  another  WORLD   ENDING  CRISIS  i   hope.   ❜

the young royal smiled warmly toward the man as he exited the jet. with her brother away doing WHATEVER it is he does as the black panther, shuri was left to welcome guests into wakanda —— a task she normally DREADED doing, unless it was someone like steve rogers, then she was more than happy to welcome them.
