The German and the Soldier 17 and 18

Since the epilogue was so short i tacked it on here

Chapter 17

Nicole groaned as she was overcome by a great feeling of pain. She slowly opened her eyes, looking down at herself, vaguely aware of Bruce and Steve talking outside her room as she tried to move.

"The needle left a scar on her inner thigh. It will stay extremely touch sensitive, even more so during... moments of, erm, extreme stimulation.”

Nicole bit her lip as the blanket brushed said scar, trying not to moan as Steve replied. "Are you serious?"

"Unfortunately I am. Sorry." The door opened, and the men walked over to her. "Nicole how are you doing?"

"I could use a beer..." she groaned, popping her shoulder. "I feel like I fell off a building."

Steve sat beside her. "Close, but not quite. It was only about ten feet."

"Have zhe bruises faded?"

"Mostly." He forced a smile. "Barely there anymore."

"Gut. Now about zhat beer?"

"Ok ok lets go get you a beer." Steve helped her go her feet and led her from the room. Nicole smiled and leaned against him, making him blush. She giggled quietly as he helped her to the kitchen, the others stopping what they were doing to run over and help out. The woman smiled as Clint helped her in a chair while Tony fetched her a beer. Natasha sat by her and watched Bruce come in. Steve smiled and took the seat on her other side, even as Thor brought her breakfast. Bruce walked over and whispered something to him before leaving again, making Nicole a little worried. But she shrugged it off, letting Steve run light fingertips over her bruises.

“So I guess all of jou vere vorried… Man jou guys are hopeless.” the woman laughed, but the others didn’t miss her joking tone. “So did I miss somezhing or did jou all take off after mich right avay?”

“Pretty much took off after you.” Tony shrugged. “The second you vanished lover boy over there went hysterical and was set on a suicide mission to get you back. Nearly had to make him stay here.” he dodged a fork hurled his way. “Hey I’m just telling her the truth Steve!”

Steve huffed and pouted. “I did NOT go hysterical…”

Clint smirked. “Sorry dude but you did.”

Natasha nodded in agreement. “You did Steve, really.”

The man crossed his arms and looked away, his face heating up as Nicole laughed and wrapped her arms around him. “Aw Stevey vere jou really zhat vorried~? Jou little sweetheart~!”

Steve felt his face grow hotter as the others laughed and chuckled at them. He pouted and tilted his head back to look at Nicole. She smiled and ran her fingers through his unkempt hair, realizing just how worried he had been over the past few days as she looked at the darkening skin under his eyes. So she pulled him to his feet and started for the elevator. The others laughed at the flustered man as they disappeared behind the doors, but on the way down Steve was surprised when his friend flipped the emergency switch, halting the elevator between floors.

“Nicole?”

The woman pushed him against the wall, making him gasp before she wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing close to him. She looked him dead in the eye as she kissed him, making him hesitate for a moment before he was able to adjust to it. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close, right as the elevator started again. The couple was caught off guard, neither one of them having flipped the switch.

{Mr Stark says it is time for you two to return to you floor.}

Nicole growled. “Jarvis tell Stark zhat I vas trying to have a moment here!”

{I’m sorry miss Wolf.}

Steve smiled slightly as the elevator stopped, and surprised her when he lifted her up to carry her off. The woman let him carry her to his room, gasping when he carried her to his couch. He sat down, holding her in his lap.

“Steve?”

“Mmhmm?” he kissed her cheek, smiling when she blushed.  “Nicole?”

She blushed and squirmed. “I did miss jou…”

“I missed you too.” he nuzzled against her neck, making her gasp lightly. “Hm?”

“S-Steve stop zhat… Jou don’t know vhat jou’re doing to mich…”

“Actually, I think I do…”



EPILOGUE:

Steve smirked as he watched his dear Nicole flip through the air, hurling her shield at the enemies before her while she also dodged Clint’s arrows. Robot after robot fell to her and her friends, making her cheer in delight when Clint’s expert eye brought the last one to earth. At least, before Steve raced over to wrap her in a hug. She didn’t notice Tony flying off to pick up Cint, too busy locking lips with her new fiance. But she did notice when Tony’s voice came over the radio.

[Guys, we’ve got a situation. Head to the tower immediately.]

Oh boy, were they in for a ride.
