(Loralie's armour is like Antiope's from Wonder Woman)

❤︎❤︎❤︎

Eternals were protectors of the earth, they weren't supposed to involve themselves in human conflicts but Loralie was doing it anyway. She knew she would probably be told off by Ajak for doing this because right now she was currently rescuing the entire 107th from Hydra. Loralie had overheard that they had been captured so she decided to be a hero one last time.

It had already gone dark so it was perfect to sneak around the woods just outside, when suddenly she heard the snap of a twig. Loralie turned around and ending up punching a shield, which hurt her fist. The man stood up and it turned out to be Captain America himself.

"Who the hell are you?" He asked quietly.

She scoffed. "Wouldn't you like to know?"

They both began walking and he started talking again. "Well what are you doing here?" He asked once more.

"I heard that the 107th had been captured and believe it or not, you're not the only superhero on earth." Loralie told him and they looked at each other for a minute.

Then, they heard the sound of a truck and Loralie dragged him down so they weren't seen. He then began to run and jumped in the back of the truck, her doing the same after he had thrown the Hydra soldiers out.

"Well what's your name then?" She asked him as the truck pulled in.

He smirked. "Wouldn't you like to know?" He said before jumping out and pushing another guy away.

The two moved as quickly as they could through all the machines and trucks in order to reach the doors inside. Once they did, they then had to get into the big hall and the door needed a key to get in.

"I could break it." He suggested.

Loralie didn't listen to him and instead simply knocked on the door and the guard opened it. When he did she used the door to smash his face against the wall and knock him out. After very quietly sneaking through the entire base, they finally found the 107th so Loralie just threw a dagger at the guard and killed him instantly.

"Lee!" She heard an English accent shout. "Is that you?"

"Yeah!"

She saw a dark-skinned man looking up at them. "Who the hell are you?" He asked the Captain.

He took a breath. "I'm...I'm Captain America."

"I beg your pardon?"

Not long after, they managed to open all the cells and free everyone. The Captain turned to her, "I have to go and find Bucky, can you get these guys out?"

Loralie rolled her eyes. "Yes Captain," She said and gave him a mock salute and then she turned to the men behind her. "Who wants to blow some shit up?"

They all cheered and everyone ran out taking the guards and the entire base by surprise. Loralie didn't waste a second in attacking the guards. First, she slid on the floor knocking two of them out from under their feet, when another one came along she swung her sword and sliced his chest. When a blast was fired at her, she jumped over it in the air and landed easily befor throwing her shield at him and knocking four of them to the floor.

Behind them, there were about 20 lining up in two lines. Loralie sighed, "They never learn."

She took one step forward and banged her arms into a cross, the blast being so strong combined with her magic, that it sent them all flying. She used her magic to lift up a tank and drop it on the last of the guards.

Captain and his friend soon came running out. "Everyone okay out here?" He asked.

"Yeah, we're good." Lee replied.

Captain looked at her gratefully before he told people to help the injured and to use some of the tanks to get a ride home in. The Captain, Loralie and his friend were at the front leading before he turned to her.

"So are you going to tell me your name now?" He asked.

She thought for a minute. "Loralie, but most people just call me Lee."

"Well it's nice to meet you Loralie," He held out his hand, "I'm Steve Rogers."

She shook his hand and they looked at each other for a minute. Bucky then came round from the other side of Steve. 

"So, Lee, do you have any lovers at home or-" Bucky didn't get to finish his sentence because Steve pushed him away and she just laughed.

"As a matter of fact, I don't, actually."

"What? A pretty girl like you? That's okay, Steve hasn't got a girl either."

"Really?" She asked in surprise. "Because you have women lining up all over the country." 

Bucky's head turned sharply. "What?" He asked in disbelief.

"Yeah he hasn't just been in newspapers and stuff," Lee explained. "He's done shows all around the country, even made some movies."

Steve turned to her. "Did you go and see one of the shows?" He asked out of curiosity.

Lee laughed. "I did actually, yeah, I saw one of your shitty shows in Chicago."

He suddenly got very defensive. "They weren't shitty." He defended.

"Steve, it was the same thing every time. A bunch of show girls come on stage, you advertise some merchandise and then punch Hitler," Lee said. "Same thing in every state."

Bucky laughed. "How I would've paid to see that."

Steve turned to Lee. "You really had to bring it up didnt you?" He smiled.

She smiled back. "You asked."

By the time they got back to camp it was morning, all of them were tired from the journey but Steve, Lee and Bucky were still leading at the front. When they came into view of all the other soldiers at camp they all started running over and opened the gate.

Lee smiled slightly when everyone started cheering, this is why she liked being a hero. Suddenly a blonde girl came over and hugged Bucky before kissing him and the whistles around them grew louder.

"It's about damn time," She heard Steve mumble and she turned to him.

"Have you been rooting for these two?" Lee asked.

He raised his eyebrows. "For five years."

Steve saluted the colonel as he walked up to them and stood straight. "Some of these men need medical attention," Steve explained. "I'd like to surrender myself for disciplinary action."

The colonel looked around for a minute before saying, "That won't be necessary," he said before walking over to Lee as a brunette woman walked over to Steve.

"And who the hell are you?" The Colonel asked her.

"My name's Loralie Prince, sir," she said, giving herself the same fake surname she'd been using for years.

Steve turned around and intervened. "She helped me rescue all of these men, sir," he explained and Lee looked at him gratefully.

The Colonel nodded and walked off. Lee turned to Steve, "Thank you," she told him.

He smiled. "Anytime, after all, you were clearly the badass in this situation."

They both laughed, then Lee felt a presence she hadn't felt in years. She turned around and met the blonde's eyes and it turned out to be none other than Cassie Mikaelson, the same woman she had spent her time on the titanic with.

As soon as everyone had gone inside, Lee found a time to get Cassie alone and pulled her for a talk. 

"What the hell are you doing here?" Lee asked in concern.

Cassie scoffed. "What am I doing here? What are you doing here? I thought you said your super-heroing days were over!"

Lee stopped for a minute. "We'll, I mean, they were but I got bored and my friends had been captured them I ended up rescuing over a thousand men with Captain America."

Cassie crossed her arms. "Lee you could get in serious trouble for this. Does Ajak know you're doing this?"

Lee mimicked Cassie's action. "Do your brothers know you're doing this?" She asked.

"As a matter of fact, they do, and stop trying to act like my mother!" Cassie said very confidently with a bit of a tone.

Lee's ego deflated a little. "Oh...I can't tell Ajak otherwise it'll be like 1378 all over again, she won't let me out of her sight." Lee explained.

Cassie sighed before chuckling slightly. "Come on soldier, let's get you some food and rest," Lee nodded and they walked over to the food hall where they sat with Steve and Bucky and spoke and laughed for hours, something she hadn't done in a long time.

Steve, Peggy, Cassie and Lee were now currently stood round a large map in the SSR base in London as Steve tried to remember the points that were placed on the map back at the Hydra base.

"...The fifth one was here, in Poland, right near the Baltic," Steve explained as all of them watched. "And the sixth one was 30, 40 miles west of the Maginot Line. I just got a quick look."

"Well nobody's perfect," Peggy said before walking away. 

"I wouldn't have remembered any if that helps," Lee chuckled and Steve smiled gratefully.

The three of them walked over to where the map had been placed on a bigger table so the map was a bigger version.

The Colonel walked over. "Go on," he told Steve.

"These are the weapons factories we know about," Steve explained to him. "Sergeant Barnes said that Hydra shipped all the parts to another facility that isn't on this map."

"So you're saying there's more bases?" Lee asked before they were interrupted by the Colonel.

"Agent Mikaels, coordinate with MI6, I want every allied eyeball looking for that main Hydra base," The Colonel ordered. Cassie nodded before walking away and leaving them.

"What about us?" Peggy asked him.

"We are going to set fire under Johann Schmidt's ass," The Colonel replied completely seriously. Sometimes he was unintentionally funny. "What d'you say Rogers? it's your map. You think you and Prince could wipe Hydra off it?"

The two soldiers looked at each other. "Yes sir, but we'll need a team," Steve told him.

Without looking up, the Colonel quickly replied, "we're already putting together the best men."

Lee winced. "With all due respect sir, so are we."
