November 5 2014-Quinjet-Steve's POV
"Yeah, i'm Steve." I nod as I try to contain my smile
"Where's Mr. James?" Sarah asks as she looks up at me
Ouch
"Mr. James?" Tony asks
Sarah jumps again, my hand immediately moving to her left shoulder to try and calm her, but she flinches.
Sometimes fatherly instincts feel like curses.
"My caretaker..did you hurt him?" Sarah asks as she tries to look at Tony
"I don't even know who she's talkin bout.." Tony gestures to Sarah as he talks to Nat
"Speak directly to her, not about her." I scold him with a dark tone
"Who's 'Mr. James'?" Tony asks Sarah
"My caretaker, he's also kind of my dad, but that's a little more complicated to explain."
Ouch again
"You can tell me." I suggest
"Can I borrow this?" Sarah mumbles as she gestures to my jacket she's tightly gripping
"Of course."
Sarah gives me a thankful nod and slips the fabric over her body while I stay by her left side.
"Why did you bring me here?" Sarah asks around as she looks around
"Because we wanted to save you." I say calmly
She messes with her fingers, picking at the skin and only to watch it grow back over the next few minutes.
"I wanted to save you." I correct
"We all did." Bruce mentions
"Oh, thanks I guess." she mutters
I look up at the group, genuinely trying to gauge reactions of the people around me.
"Why is she so quiet? She should be happy and celebrating that she's safe." Thor asks
"I'm not in the mood for celebrating." Sarah mentions as she goes to stand up
She pulls the rest of the jacket down her body, it ending up around her mid thigh or so before she climbs back onto the gurney.
"How are you feeling?" I ask her
"Why?" she asks as she turns to me
Why is this such a hard question to answer?
"Because I care about you." I state softly
Trying to control a smile is so hard
"Like you used to care about Katherine?" she asks
"I still love Katherine." I correct as I shake
my head
My heart is feeling so many emotions, i'm filled with joy to see Sarah safe with us, with us, even just to see her at all. But then I think about what she possibly went through, the upset of why she's so tentative of everything going on around us. Then the fear of what they did, to where i'm scared of what she went through, then the feelings of anger and betrayal of the whole Barbara thing.
"Oh..hi, i'm sorry about what happened last year or this year? I don't really know what year it is." Sarah starts off as she sees Natasha
"Already forgiven, you didn't even hurt me."
"The agents were watching, so I did what I could to get them off my back without getting you hurt." Sarah explains
"I understand." Natasha responds
