Not exactly Iron Man 3 stuff but it leads into that.

Iron Man 3

It's been 6 months since the battle in New York. And I still have nightmares whenever I slept, well tried to.

I wish I could say Tony and I have grown closer since then but I would be lying. To be completely honest we don't see each other often. He's always working on his suits and I've kept myself busy with work.

But Fury noticed not too long ago about my mental state and put me on a paid leave. He said I deserved it and won't let me come back to work until I'm better.

Ever since then I took it upon myself to visit Cap in DC where he now lives and help him readjust.

He knew I was already coming.

I lightly knocked on his apartment door. I heard some shuffling inside before the door opened. Steve opened the door wearing a blue t-shirt and sweatpants.

"Hey Ana." He said with a small smile. I smiled at him.

"Hey Cap. Ready for that run?" I asked him. He nodded before running back inside and came back with two water bottles.

He tossed me one before locking the door.

-
We got into a ready position. Steve and I were going to race around the park.

"May the odds be forever in your favor." I quoted. He looked at me confused.

"I'm quoting the Hunger Games." He nodded somewhat understanding.

"Ready." I said.

"Set." Steve says.

"Go!" I yelled running forward. I ran as fast as I could. Steve was running right beside me.

"Not bad for an old man!" I teased. He lightly smirked before he slowly began to speed up. I tried moving my legs faster but he just sped up each time I got even somewhat close to him.

Next thing I knew he was lapping me.

"On your left." He said running by. I growled in frustration. Adrenaline kicked in as I began running faster then before. I saw Steve up ahead drinking his water against a tree. I decided I should slow down and catch a water break too.

But boy did I regret that.

Next thing I knew I was falling forward, skidding across the concrete. I yelp as my ankle twisted.

"Ana!" Steve exclaimed alarmed, running over. He knelt in front of me. "Are you okay?" He asked worriedly. I strained a smile. I nodded.

"Yea but can you help me up?" I asked him.

"Ugh, yea." He said wrapping his arm around me and grabbing my hand, pulling me up.

"Thanks." I mumbled as I took a step forward and yelped again. "Damn."

"Sit." Steve told me. I hopped over to the bench that was near by. He knelt down and gently rolled up my leggings on my right side. He then   Lightly grabbed my ankle.

"Does that hurt?" He asked.

"Kinda." I responded. He simply nodded. He moved my foot back making me wince.

"It's not swollen badly but I believe it's sprained. You should put ice on it to bring down the swelling." He explained. I nodded.

"Thanks Cap." I say hopping on one foot.

"I can um, carry you back to my apartment. I mean if you want. That's closer and all." He rambled his cheeks growing red.

"You really don't know how to talk to women do you?" I asked him making his face go red. I chuckled. "It's alright Cap. I'm not one to judge." I said smiling. He smiled back.

"Thanks." He said before picking me up bridal style.

"No problem." I told him.

-

I was set down on the couch as he went to the kitchen to get ice. He came back shortly after and gave me an ice pack.

"Thank you." I told him.

"Any time. You know out of all the others you seem to be the nicest." I smiled at him.

"Aw thanks." I said.

After that I taught him how to work a tv and use the DVD player.

-

"Is that your phone?" I asked as he pulled out a flip phone.

"Um yes." He said.

"Did Tony give that to you?" He nodded. I lightly sighed.

"Another thing you should know about any thing modern is that nobody uses a flip phone anymore. Unless your an old man but- wait I didn't mean it like that I'm not saying your old I mean you are but-" I was cut off by him laughing.

"Ana it's alright." I sighed a breath of relief.

"Sorry." I said awkwardly chuckling. He smiled.

"It's fine."

_________________
Let me clarify this right now, Steve doesn't have feelings for Ana and Ana does not have feelings for Cap.

I am just trying to build there friendship up. Because we all know that Civil War is coming up and when the time comes idk what side she's going to be on but it's a 50/50 chance for what team she will be on.
