Trojan Horse...

“You’re welcome, here, let me get the door for you.” Opening the front doors to the mansion and letting the woman step inside, Steve waited at the doors to close them as the woman walked in and looked around the spacious lobby of the mansion. Spinning playfully on her heel, the woman continued to tug at Steve’s jacket close to guard herself while she took in the large complex.

“It’s so… Big.”

“I will admit, it’s a bit too large for me, but then again I’m not the only one who lives here.”

Almost immediately after the door closed, several people came into view after hearing visitors arrive. The woman noticing a woman with red hair and tiger stripes on her skin enter the lobby along with another woman in a blue and red costume, wearing a red sash around her waist like a belt.

“Hey Steve, I thought you were heading to the store, who this?” Asked Carol, giving the man a smirk before outstretching her hand to shake the visitor’s hand. “My Name is Carol, and this is Tigra… WOW, you got a grip.”

“My name’s Lilith, Steve saved me from some people in an alleyway.” Bringing her hand back under the jacket and tugging it closed around her ruined blouse and dress. Watching as Captain Marvel approached Steve as he stood by the door to put down his paper bags only to get his hair ruffled by the blonde woman in an affectionate gesture. Carol smiling when the man blushed despite himself.

“That’s our little boy scout… Need something to wear Lilith?”

“Yeah, I’m sure I’ve got something in your size.” Answered Greer, giving the woman an appraising look before scratching her chin in thought. “I’m curious, have you ever heard of Susan Storm?”

“Oh?” Asked Lilith, hiding an eye twitch that went unnoticed by the three. “Never heard of her…”

“Huh, strange… You look just like her.”

“Maybe… Maybe I just have that kind of face.” Shrugging and giving a smile in response, the woman made her way back to Steve, almost defensively while the man sorted through what he had in his grocery bags.

“I’ll fill a police report soon, if you want to go with either Greer or Carol be my…”

“I want to stay with YOU!… For now, I feel safer with you.”

Giving each other a smirk, Carol and Greer looked back at the two and made their way to head back up the stairs. “I’ll find something for her, go ahead and keep her company.” As soon as they were out of ear shot, the two women snickered by the time they were out of sight.

“You have some interesting friends.” Lilith spoke offhandedly, following Steve to the kitchen where he helped her get a chair and stocked the refrigerator and cupboards with what he brought. Watching him stock cupboards, the woman smiled to herself, leering at his arms the entire time until her attention fell on newcomers who entered the kitchen. Iron-Man, Black Widow and Thor walked in, greeting the super soldier while Natasha joined the man and helped him stock the cupboards.

“Hey Cap, bumped into Greer and Carol upstairs, heard you finally brought a girlfriend home huh?” Chuckled Tony as he made his way over to the coffee machine and poured himself a mug.

“Lilith, this is Tony Stark, he owns the mansion. And that’s Natasha and this is Thor.” Nodded Steve towards the goateed man who winked back at the woman and raised his mug in a greeting gesture before taking a sip. Natasha smiled and Thor gave a slight bow of his head when he too went to the coffee machine at the corner of the breakfast nook of the kitchen.

“Bruce and Jen are downstairs watching a flick, we’ll be joining them soon, just getting a snack.” Explained Black Widow after she helped Steve and pulled out a bowl to fill with chips. “And Wanda will be back soon with Vision, the two of them went out for a date, probably to her favorite café or something.”

“I thought Vision didn’t eat?”

“He doesn’t.” Smirked Tony, taking another sip. “Honestly, I always wonder if they would go to a café or a hardware store if Vision wanted to pick a bite to eat. At least THERE, they’d get a discount on bulk.” Seeing the woman clutching the jacket to cover herself eye him, he thought it strange that she gave him a dirty look. Like he said something wrong or stepped on her toes. When he took a step towards her, he was a little taken back when she slid her chair back to match, keeping their distance. “Huh… Well nice knowing you, if you need me, I will be in the garage, working on the latest as usual.”

The moment Tony and the others were out of sight, Steve looked back at Lilith, noticing her anxiety after Tony finally left. “Is something wrong?”

“He’s… Sick.”

“Hmm, well, he DOES have a strange sense of humour.”

Going to the nearby phone on the wall, Steve made a police report regarding the attack in the alley some time ago, the entire time, Lilith watched him intently while sipping from an offered mug of coffee. By the time he was finished, Tigra returned with a change of clothes for the woman.

“There you go, hope they fit.”

Getting up from her chair and still tugging on the jacket around her, Lilith plucked the pants and blouse up to inspect by the time Steve had hung up the phone and turned to the two women. “Okay, the police will check the alleyway for both suspects, do you need a room to change in?”

“Sure.”

Guided out the kitchen and up the stairs, Lilith and Steve made their way down the hall of the second floor and Steve managed to find an unused room and opened the door for her. “Here you go, I’ll just wait outside for…” Turning to give her privacy, he felt her hand grip his arm gently and pull him into the empty bedroom with her. Closing the door behind them, Lilith pressed up against the man pinned against the door and draped her hands over his chest.

“Thank you for saving me…” She husked, looking up at him and gently pulling his face down to hers, surprising him when she kissed him deeply. Unsure what to do, Steve’s hands were as far from her as possible, even when she slipped his jacket off to be standing in her torn clothes. Intensifying the kiss, Lilith cupped his face in her hands, realising he was trying to pull away. She could not have that. Unseen by the man, she flicked one of her fingers out, the nail growing long and sharp, dripping a green fluid before she scratched the back of his neck.

“Agh…” Steve gasped as he finally pulled away with a cry, wiping his hand over a scratch to the back of his neck.

“Sorry… I just… I just like kissing you…” She purred, licking her lips. “You’re VERY healthy…”

Wincing from the scratch, the man blinked when he felt a bit woozy, his vision going blurry for a second before everything became sharp and crystal clear to him. His heart began to boom in his chest as he noticed a scent in the air, one that man breath hard and his pants tent. Looking down into Lilith’s eyes, there was barely a thought when he spun her around and pinned her against the door, returning the kiss and hoisting her leg around his waist. The two growling into each other’s mouths as she helped him pry off his shirt and he ripped off the rest of her dress and tossed it behind him. Pulling away for just a brief second, Lilith purred and eyed the man fiercely.

“The bed!”
