okay, but just hear me out here while i describe another date idea for those muses with barton romantically. they spend the day at the ice rink because he finds out that they have either no experience or very little experience with ice-skating + he decides that he wants to teach them how to skate; so, they go through the day without even realizing how late it's gotten and that it's almost closing time.
BUT barton sees an opportunity and pretty much bribes the person running the rink (nicely LOL) to let them stay an hour or so more past closing time. and he does this before returning to your muse, being like 'you know... i might've the guy running this place to let us stay a little longer, so how about we try something more complicated?' and barton just kind of eases them into couples ice-skating with him with some music in the background + i just... GAHHH.
the way that he would make sure they wouldn't fall just like yves did for him so long ago is so đ plus, it being basically like slow-dancing, but in longer steps because they're sliding across the ice? and once their hour is up, barton just kind of rising them up + spinning them?? i am officially DEAD (but in a good way jsjsj LOL)
#OF MONSTERS AND MEN: musings.#ooc post.#yeah i just... i really think that barton would do something like this to make the experience more special for them TBH đ„ș#because like y'all might remember; man's is like a WHOLE nother person around his partner and he would do literally anything for-#them tbh. and OFC this doesn't excuse the fact that he's a killer or anything but it does demonstrate that there is more to him-#than just being a complete asshole for lack of better words JSJSJ but anyhow i just think that would be so romantic okok

* * * * * * *
Itâs a cold early morning in New York when your eyes open to the sight of your adorable, sleeping, girlfriend. A small smile pulls at your lips as you take her in, everything from her disheveled hair to the subtle crinkle between her eyebrows sends your heart soaring.
You canât resist the urge to reach out and tuck a piece of her wild hair behind her ear. She stirs but only to wrap her arms tighter around your waist, an incoherent murmur of a complaint tumbling out of her parted lips.Â
Kate Bishop is many thingsâŠexcept a morning person, something youâve had to learn the hard way. Itâs honestly a miracle sheâs managed to make it to most of her early morning missions on time considering how many attempts it takes to get her to even consider getting up in the morning.
Itâs hard to find her bad habit annoying when she looks so damn cute, though.Â
Unfortunately for her, youâre awake, youâre hungry and Clintâs supposed to drop off her beloved golden retriever in a few hours.
You donât necessarily understand the arrangement the two archers have but you know it canât do Lucky any harm to be taken to the Bartonâs home every once in a while. Especially during weeks when Kate is swamped with superhero work and canât find the energy to be dragged around Central Park for a few hours.
So, you disentangle yourself from the brunetteâs strong embrace and get up.Â
You hear her grumble again while your hands reach for the warmest thing in sight: one of Kateâs purple hoodies chaotically thrown onto her bedside table. Any other day youâd be fighting the urge to scold her for never putting her clothes in her ridiculously large closet but today, the hoodie saves you from the cold air that nips at your skin. Â
The tell-tale sound of sheets rustling around fills the room for a few seconds before Kate speaks up.
âWhere are you going?â She groans, her voice carrying traces of that sleep-filled raspiness you've come to love.Â
âTo get ready. Clintâs coming to drop off Lucky.â
âYeah, but that's not until later and your girlfriend wants cuddles right now.â
You turn around to face her, ready to tease her for being such a grump in the morning, only to find the archer watching you with wide eyes.
âUmâŠyou okay, babe?â
Your voice brings her out of her thoughts and you catch sight of the pink hue that threatens to overtake her beautiful face. âYeahâŠyeah, justâŠthat hoodie looks really good on you.â
âThank you, I stole it from my grumpy girlfriend.âÂ
You're technically making fun of her but all she can focus on is the way her hoodie looks on you. On the subtle smirk that pulls at your lips and the small token of possession it represents.Â
She's not a jealous person or an overly controlling partner but the thought of you wearing her things, of showing you're her partner and no one elseâsâŠstirs something inside her that she's never felt before.
You can see it.Â
The way her face slowly changes from a sleepy and dazed look to hungry eyes that seem to try to devour you with a single glance. It would be startling if you didnât know her so well.
âCome here,â she says as she extends her arms out to you.
âYouâre not even going to sit up?â You canât resist the urge to tease her even while you do exactly what she asks of you.
She merely shakes her head in response, stable hands grabbing your waist and pulling you down on top of her. You donât even get the chance to come up with another teasing remark before sheâs leaning up and stealing your thoughts away with a kiss.
You sink into her, an almost inaudible sigh slipping out of your mouth and into Kateâs as the two of you mold together. Her hands mess with the fabric of the hoodie adorning your figure but she makes no move to remove the barrier just yet.
You assume sheâs just waiting for your permission to take it off until she starts caressing you over the fabric. Thereâs no time to question what exactly sheâs doing though since her lips detach from yours only so she can nip at your jawline. âGodâŠyou look so good in my clothes, baby.â
âYeah? Is that why youâre trying to hump the air right now?â
The groan you hear in response is exactly what youâre expecting.Â
What you donât expect however is for her hips to literally buck against the air. Your words were supposed to be a joke but of course, your girlfriend would be into it. Thereâs a reason you call her your golden retriever girlfriend and itâs not just because of how loyal she is. Â
Her hands go from soft and exploratory to demanding in an instant and you let out a groan of your own as she maneuvers your body until sheâs able to trap your knee between her legs.
Sheâs been awake for less than ten minutes and she already has you right where she wants you.
âKate-â She smothers the rest of your sentence with her lips and yet you canât find it in yourself to be mad about the interruption.
Youâre too busy kissing her back to attempt to tease her once she starts moving against you, impatient hips rocking every which way to find some relief. Itâs hot and adorable in ways that make your heart clench and your clit throb with need.Â
âFuck,â she mumbles against your lips.
You take the opportunity to glide your hands underneath her shirt and remove it from her in one move. She shudders, both from the cold air and the pleasure overtaking her body, and itâs a sight you don't ever want to forget.
Kateâs desperation is palpable but you enjoy watching the way she writhes under you too much to touch her the way she needs. You merely let her grind against you while your hands explore her chest, basking in the beautiful, needy, sounds you draw out of her.
You're in the middle of teasing her hardened nipples when she breaks.Â
ây/nâŠbabeâŠpleaseâŠâ Thereâs no sweeter sound than the sound of your girlfriend giving in to the pleasure only you can make her feel.Â
âAlready?â You ask through a chuckle, watching as your words make her eyes clench shut. âI havenât even done anything yet.â
âShut up,â she grumbles before another moan tumbles out of her.
She grips the front of your hoodie with an iron grip, pulling you down against her so she can kiss you again. You let her do what she wants while enjoying every beautiful second of her borderline frantic movements.Â
Itâs unreal how fast she crumbles under you, how quick she is to lose the confident act and let herself drop into a state where all she wants, all she needs, is you. Even the air she breathes is incomparable to how alive you make her feel during moments like these.
Your lips leave hers right as you push your knee against her center. Youâre sure sheâs seconds away from soaking through her sweatpants considering how hard sheâs humping you.Â
ây/n-â She gasps, her back arched and her muscles strained while she rocks against you. âPlease, I canâtâŠâ
You admire her for a few seconds before giving her the permission she not so secretly craves. âI know, youâre just a needy pup, arenât you? You canât help yourself, can you, Katie?â
Her eyes fly open at that and the dazed look in her eyes is more than enough of a reward for you. She nods furiously in response, clearly only a few mess thrusts away from falling apart. âYes, yes, I am, please, baby.â
âGood girl,â you say with that proud grin that makes her melt every time. âGo on, cum for me, puppy.â
The reaction your words coax out of her is instantaneous and itâs more than enough to leave your own underwear soaked through. Your arousal is the last thing on your mind though when you have a whiny, shaky Kate Bishop wildly grinding against you while she succumbs to her orgasm and the searing pleasure it leaves behind. Â
You watch her for a few seconds, doing everything in your power to commit the sight to memory, before leaning down and pressing a few feather-light kisses to her sweaty skin. âSo pretty for me, you did so good, puppy.â
The only sound that comes out of her is her heavy breathing and the quiet whine she canât keep in every time she hears you call her puppy again. It takes her a few seconds to come back down to Earth and you wait patiently for her, pressing soft kisses all over her face and mumbling all the words that soothe the gentle storm inside of her.
Her hands finally release your hoodie and she wraps her arms around your waist, pulling you impossibly closer and groaning when you move so youâre not pressing up against her cunt anymore.
âYou okay?â You whisper against her.
âMhmm. More than okay, actually.âÂ
Kate doesnât give you a chance to respond. She doesn't give you a chance to do anything but let out a gasp as she rolls the two of you over and triumphantly lands on top of you.
She wastes no time in burying her flushed face into your neck and nuzzling the warm skin she finds.
âWeâre gonna have to get up eventually, puppy,â you remind her even though youâre already running your fingers through her messy hair and basking in the intimacy of the moment.Â
âThat sounds like a problem for later.â
Sheâs technically not wrong and itâs obvious sheâs mere seconds from falling asleep again so you bite your tongue and let her have her win. As far as mornings go, this might be your favorite way of spending them, tangled up completely with the archer that owns your heart.

Moon River
(And me)
No matter how annoying, rude, or diabolical he is, he's still Angus Tully, your best friend and the boy you've been in love with since you learned how to.
Angus Tully x Reader
Warnings: swearing
Moon River - Frank Ocean (Cover)
"I wanna go to Boston."
Angus Tully was a wildcard. He's rude. He doesn't think before he speaks. He can be a hell of a pain in the ass. One second, he's quiet and all by himself in a corner, then the next he's spewing out words from his mouth that'll make you wish you were currently six feet under.
But he's really thoughtful. All those times he spends by himself, he thinks. About life. About school. About people. How we came from where we're from. How we breathe air and feel the soil in our feet.
No matter how many failed classes, how many times he was set back, Angus Tully is a smart boy with loads of potential. You just wish he saw himself that way.
"Why?" You ask, flipping the magazine between your fingers.
You were almost the exact opposite of Angus.
You studied hard, aiming for Ivy League schools and doing as much extracurricular activities as you could. You prioritised school, your work, your reputation. You rarely get in trouble, only getting called in offices for the reports you've sent.
So, why out of all the people in Barton, the only girl there ends up being his closest friend?
To put it simply; when you heard about Barton accepting girls for the new school year, you wanted to go. One, because, as your mother said, "It would do your reputation good for being a part of the first batch of girls in Barton," and two, because your best friend Angus Tully studied there.
Yes, you got in the school. Yes, you're part of the first batch of girls in Barton ever. What they didn't mention was the fact you were the only girl in Barton.
"You know why."
Angus's dad was put in a hospital after something happened in their home. Apparently, he was sick. At least, that's what Angus's mom said.
"We can't exactly leave. Hunham's gonna kill you." You finally put your magazine down, folding the corner of the page you were in to bookmark it.
"Not unless he doesn't find out."
"You know for a fact he'll find out."
"He'll find out too late. I know that for a fact."
You roll your eyes, sighing. You shuffle to your side of the bed to his. You pushed both your beds together. The excuse Angus used was that it gets cold at night. You didn't really mind.
You settle your head on his chest, arm wrapping around his slender waist. You exhale deeply when his arm lowers to rub your back. It felt nice in moments like this; The dark room illuminated by the orange hue of a streetlight outside. The wind howling and blowing snowflakes towards the west.
"I know it sucks we didn't get to go with those guys to ski, but they're jerks anyway. I'd rather spend my entire Christmas with you." You tuck your head into his neck, closing your eyes as your tiredness encapsulates you, as well as the warmth of Angus's hold.
"Well, we're not exactly doing that." Angus clicks his tongue. "Wish it was just me and you. No Mary, and no stupid fucking walleye."
You groan. "You gotta stop calling him that. He seems to be trying his best, even when his "best" is annoying." Angus adjusts underneath you, lying both of you down and draping a blanket over your bodies.
"Yeah, whatever." He relaxes onto the bed, eyes closing as well. His breathing is still manual, you can tell he can't sleep just yet. There's something in his mind.
"Angus... you okay?" He moves a bit, arm still wrapped around you. He doesn't answer right away, but when he does, his voice is a bit strained.
"Don't you ever get tired of me? Even just a little?" You wouldn't have heard him if it weren't for your proximity right now. You stay still.
"Of course I get tired of you. Almost all the time." He scoffs when you giggle a bit. You open your eyes and peek up at him, seeing a small smile on his face.
From the light that barely lit the room, you could see his eyes were glassy. You sit upright, cupping his face. His hand goes up to hold one of your wrists, his cheek leaning into your touch.
"How do you put up with me?" He sniffles, leaning his head down. "I can't even put up with myself sometimes."
There was only one answer to his question. You knew well in your heart what it was. Maybe it was time to tell him.
"Angus." You whisper, caressing his face your thumb. "Look at me."
He looks up, eyes a bit damp from tears. You wipe them away gently, keeping your eyes locked on his pretty brown ones.
"You're my best friend, Angus. But I see you more than that." You can see the emotions shift on his face, but he stays quiet, so you continue.
"I'm serious about what I said. I'd rather spend my entire Christmas with you. Over anybody in the world." You smile softly, taking your hands off his face to hold on his own.
"I'd also spend spring break with you, summer, the weekends. It's gotten to the point that I'd spend the rest of my life with you."
"The thing is, I'm never gonna leave. No matter how annoyed I am, no matter how fed up. Because I love you, Angus. I've loved you ever since I learned how to. And I learned from you."
He only stays quiet after. You're afraid you said the wrong things. Maybe you shouldn't have told him that. He's simply staring off into space, eyes glued on you. You try to take your hands back.
"Wait." Angus says. He keeps his eyes on you. There's this spark in them, and you can't tell what it is. You've only ever seen it in times like this; when you're alone with him.
This is a lot more different, though. There was so much intensity that-
His lips felt plump against yours. They were so soft. You could even somehow taste the pink in them. You couldn't get enough.
The moment you lean in, his hands cup your cheeks, just like you did to him moments ago. You bet he could feel how warm they were.
He tilts his head to kiss you more, adding a bit of force that just highlights his hunger.
Your hand finds his lap, and you rest them there. He pulls away, hovering a centimetre off your lips. You feel the way he breathes against you.
"If you wanted to take my pants off, just ask." He laughs, trying to ease the heat of the room.
You lean in just a bit, lips brushing. He tries to lean in too, but you pull away only slightly.
"If you wanted to kiss me, just ask." It was your turn to laugh as he rolls his eyes.
"Well, can I kiss you again?"
You didn't even need to say a word. A curt nod was enough for him to go back to kissing you silly.
A best friend is someone you hold dearly in your heart. Your best friend is already far above that.
The love you hold for someone close is something you never let go of. You can make a choice of holding that feeling a little while longer or giving it to them with everything in your being. Trust me when I say the second option is better.
HOLA CHICAS I FINALLY WROTE SMTH FOR ANGUS!!! If u followed me way b4 yk i was talking abt this man and saying how them white boys r ruining me (tbh they still are but im not complaining) i love this boy sm I WANT HIM SOOOOOO BAD UGHH.

Back to Home | Chapter Three: Impossible
*GIF not mine*
Summary: While on Earth 717, they start to plan an operation to get you back; on Earth 616, everyone want to know who you are but, you just want to go home and for this, you'll have to ask the help of one of the last person you want to see right now.
Pairing in this chapter: Natasha Romanoff x Teen!Reader; Avenger x Teen!Reader; Doctor Strange x Teen!Reader; America Chavez x Teen!Reader; Peter Parker x Teen!Reader; (variant)WandaNat & family
chapter two | serie masterlist | chapter four
--------
Okay it was the only thing you did want to deal with. You just looked at them for a moment, you needed to think about a name right now. "Uh...Scarlet." you replied more like a question. They clearly doubted that but it's not like you could tell them who you were. Right now you just needed to not bring more questions and quickly came back in the future.
At your reply, Natasha scoffed and you looked at her with a sad look. The last argument you had with your moms was still recent in your mind but she didn't have to know that, at least not yet.
"Scarlet hum? Like the Scarlet Wi-" Sam tried to ask but you cut him off.
"No, definitely no. It's Scarlet like Scarlet Widow." you said proudly and everyone looked at you confused.
"Widow? Like the Black Widow?" Bucky asked and you sighed.
"No. Like the Scarlet Widow." you reply harshly.
"Okay, okay. Miss, Scarlet what do you want?" Strange asked, visibly annoyed by your interaction with the two men.
"I want to go back home." you replied.
"And where are you from?" he asked.
"Really far from here." Nobody seemed convinced.
"And where did you find this?" Natasha spoke for the first time and showed you your widow's bites.
"Oh thank God, you found them. Morgan would kill me if I lost them." you replied and the two teens chuckled at your attitude.
"You know it's not something a kid should have." Tony said and you rolled your eyes.
"I'm 18, so, technically I'm not a kid anymore and I have used this for nearly three years now so yeah how dangerous they could be." you said looking at the red headed when you finished your sentence.
"But they didn't work." Natasha said
"Yeah I know that's why I'm here. I need to repair them even if I don't really know how. I need to send a signal to the....to my team and to let them know I'm alright." you said and tried to be the most convincing possible.
"But we have some questions before." Steve said and you rolled your eyes.
"Birthday?" the Russian asked but you didn't reply. You can't tell them you were technically born aly six years ago. "Okay you don't want to reply." she sighed. "Parent's name?" she asked. You just stare at her but you didn't said anything. "Okay, another question. Why do you have the same power as Wanda Maximoff?" she asked.
You played with your fingers and when they think you'll finally reply you wiped their hope. "Can I talk to my lawyer?" you asked and they all exchanged a look.
Tony grabbed a phone and looked at you "Who are they?" he asked and you bit your cheek.
"Clint Barton." you replied and they were all confused. "You know Hawkeye, the Avengers" you added and that didn't make disappear their surprise.
Okay even in your univers Clint didn't really learnt anything about laws but if there is one person you wanted to confess anything it was him. Morgan is only 6 years old in 2024; your aunts are very good friends but you knew they couldn't really keep this to themself and for your uncle it's sure he could talk with your mom so he was the safe option.
Natasha just glared at you, it was clear that she couldn't trust you; she didn't say anything and just left quickly followed by the winter soldier. "Did I say something wrong?" you asked Peter.
"Honestly I don't know. She seems a little upset but I think she will call him." he replied.Â
"Oh okay, but why did the Snowman soldier follow her?" you asked and Amercia chuckled at the shity nickname.
"I'm not sure but everyone says there is something between them." Peter whispered and you frowned your eyebrows. Yeah of course your mom is good friends with Bucky but she's married to a certain Sokovian witch, right? The boy noticed your face and added in a whisper "You know they are a thing. Like they date each other."Â
"What??!" you yelled and the adults stopped their conversation to look at you. "No it's impossible. Are you sure about that?" you asked a little quietly.
"Yeah it's like everywhere on the internet." he replied casually.
"But it's impossible I need to...I mean I ship her with Wanda." you corrected yourself and ignored America who raised her eyebrows to you.Â
"Sorry not sorry. I think you missed a lot of things because right now I don't think it could have anything between her and Wanda." he said and when you wanted to ask why Natasha came back.Â
Everyone looked at her but she focused her gaze on you and it remembered you all the time she was about to ground you. "He will be here tomorrow." she informed you and you nodded. "We will let see you tomorrow. Steve will bring you your lunch later." she said and left.
âSo I think we can go back from where we came too.â Strange added.
âNo!â you stopped him. âActually Iâll need your help to go back to my home.â you informed him.
âAnd what makes you think I will want to help a perfect stranger who I donât know her name?â he asked you.
âBecauseâŠyouâre an avenger and the Avengers help the ones who need it.â you said. âAnd also because youâre one of the most powerful users of magic here, and Iïżœïżœïżœm pretty sure my problem needs magic.â you added.
âIâm the supreme sorcerer, Iâm not âone of the most powerful magic users hereâ. Iâm the most powerful.â he explained and you rolled your eyes.
âOkay if you want but I think you forgot Wanda. She can alternate reality and sheâs like the most powerful witch in this world, even if Iâm the second one.â you said and America flinched a little. The action was unnoticed by everyone in the room except you but you didnât find the need to ask her about that.
âYeah, but I donât think she would be able to help you for a moment.â the sorcerer said before leaving with the two teens before you could reply.
In the afternoon Steve came back to the kitchen with an empty plate. "She didn't say anything, I think she doesn't want to talk to anyone except Clint." he said and Natasha just nodded.
"Do you think it's a good idea to let her speak with Clint? She didn't look like someone we can trust." Sam asked.
"I don't trust her." the Russian said and Bucky looked at her confused. "I don't know why she wants to talk to Clint but she's silly if she thinks he will not tell me what she wants to keep hidden from us." she explained.
Tony came just after and throw your widow's bite on the redhead's laps she looked confused. "Look at them" she looked at them and then at the billionaire again. "More carefully." he said and she inspected them. She was about to give up until she found it, a little 'Stark Industrie' logo.
"But how?" she asked and Tony took back the weapons.
"I don't know but I think it's not the last secret this little thing hides." he said and went back to his lab.
--------
[Earth 717 - the Tower]Â
Tony was zoning out in the kitchen with a coffee cup in his hand, neither him or his daughter had a proper night. He was too far in his mind to hear the footsteps, he came back to reality when he felt a hand on his shoulder. "Hey Tony, are you alright?" Steve asked.
The billionaire placed the cup on the kitchen counter, "Honestly no" he admitted "I don't know what to do. We try anything Steve, we search in the multiverse. We used the power of America to help us but nothing worked." he said.
"I think you should try to sleep, after a good nap you will try again and we will help you." the super soldier saif and gave him a reassuring smile and led him in a bedroom.
~~~~
In your towerâs bedroom Morgan was here with Ava, your other best friend, she told her everything.
"Wait hold on, you are telling me that the most reckless person we know is lost somewhere in the multiverse?" Ava asked and Morgan nodded, "wow, it's the most Y/n-ish thing she ever did" she joked and the little Stark laughed. "But how are you? You don't look good so I think you stayed up all night with your dad to find a soluce."
"Yeah but it's more complicated than we thought."
"I don't even want to try to imagine all you did."
"We did a lot of things but it doesn't really matter we didn't find her."
"Hey don't say that you'll find her, like you always did. And she can't miss the gender reveal party, I'm sure she'll come back soon."
"Talking about that, how is my little buddy?"
"They are pretty good but I think I'm not ready for the next few months."Â
"Don't worry we will be here, like always."
'Ava was in front of your door, she was nervous but after five more minutes she knocked on the door. She didn't have to wait too long before Wanda opened the door.
"Hey Ava how are you?" she asked and your best friend almost cried at the question.
"Very good and you aunty Wanda?" she replied and even if your mom sensed it was a lie she didn't push her.
"Very well thank you. Y/n and Morgan are in her bedroom." she said and took a step aside to let the teenager in. Ava thanks her and after quickly greeting Natasha she rushed to your bedroom; she didn't knock and just enter and close the door quickly behind her.
You were playing Mario Kart with Morgan, you sprained your ankle at your last mission so you can't really go out. Your other best friend sat on the bed and you paused the game to look at her; she texted you two hours earlier to let you know she had to talk to you and Morgan and that's why everyone was there.
"Girls I fucked up" she started and the two of you exchange a concern look.
"Did you crash your mom's car? Don't worry my dad can get you a new." Morgan said but the other girl shook her head.
"Did you burn your house? It's okay, I'm sure my mama can reverse the thing." you said but she shook her head again.
"Okay now you start to worry us. What's happen?" Morgan asked. Ava took a deep breath and tears almost fell on her cheeks.
"Guys, I'm pregnant." she announced and she would look at your two faces if she was not too anxious about the news.
"You're WHAT?" you both yelled, in the living room Natasha looked at Wanda a little confused, her wife sensed you were shocked, happy and worried at the same time but she didn't know why. "From who? Since when? And most importantly does your mom know?" you asked her together.
"From Marcus of course, you know I'd never cheat on him. I've known about it since yesterday. And yes my mom knows, she's actually the one who encouraged me to tell you." she replied and you smiled.
"It's awesome Ava you always wanted to be a mom." you said and you hugged her tightly but you pulled back she was crying.
"Hey baby girl, what's wrong?" Morgan asked her.
"My mom was happy, she said she will help me. But him..." she couldn't finish her answer before she cried again.
"What did he say?" Morgan asked.
"He said he doesn't want to have a kid now and he broke up with me." she said.
"Honestly I understand him." You said "It's not easy to raise a child even more when we are only 18 but don't worry we will be here with you and I'm sure my moms would be more than happy to help you." you explained and she finally smiled.
~~~
You came back from Ava's first echography. The three of you were excited when you opened the door of your home. You quickly went to the kitchen with your friend where your moms were.
"Hi moms" you said and they looked at you.
"Hi girls, you seemed excited" Wanda said and Ava nodded. Â
"Mama, do you still have the book on pregnancy?" you asked and Natasha choked on her coffee. "That's not for me." you reassured them.
The Russian scanned your friend and lent her gaze on Ava who just waved shyly. "Wait no. Not you." Natasha said and Wanda looked at your friend confused.
"Yes it's me. I'm pregnant" she said and your moms started to cry and gave her a group hug.
"But how? I remember the first time Y/n brought you here after school. You were so tiny, you were a baby and nowâŠ" Wanda said and Morgan and you laughed at her attitude. Your moms cried, they saw Ava like her daughter too like Morgan or your cousin Luna.
"Time flies aunty Wanda" she replied and everybody laughed.'
Morgan yawned and Ava brought back to reality, "You need to sleep, I'll be here with you don't worry." she said and the young Stark nodded before she laid on your bed and started to sleep.

[Earth 616 - Tower, the next day]
"Miss Scarlet, Mr, Barton is here." Friday said. You were watching a series after you convinced Tony to let you have a Netflix account. When you turned your head you saw Clint and Natasha, they both had a silent discussion before the man looked at you. He didn't make you wait and open the door to enter, the redhead was just behind him.
He sat in front of you and you just looked at Nat to wait until she left but she didn't. Fortunately for you the archer seemed to understand. "I think I heard Tiny said he would need your help with something" he said to his best friend and she finally seemed to notice and leave. "So, hi, I'm CLint but it seems you already know that." he said and you nodded. "So who are you?"Â
You took a deep breath and looked at him. "Okay, I know what I'm about to say would be weird but I need you to trust me." you said and he frowned his eyebrows. "You're the only one who can help me and keep my secret safe until I'm back home."
"And what tell you I would not tell you anything?" he asked.Â
"Because you're Clint Barton, I know exactly what you're capable of and I know you'll never tell what I'll tell you." you replied.
"You seem to trust me a lot but I don't know you."
"That's because my moms do."
"Your moms?"
"Yeah, you're the first who trusted them and allowed them to try to have a better life and change who they were." you declared but he didn't reply. "Okay, I'm Y/n Maximoff-Romanoff, and my moms are Natasha Romanoff and Wanda Maximoff." you said and his jaw dropped.
"But how can you? Natasha..."
"Can't have babies, I know. It's Wanda who carried me." you explained.
"But why do you tell me this? Why not Natasha or Wanda?" he asked.
"Oh I don't know because it seems a little weird to appear from nowhere and suddenly say 'Hey, I'm your daughter from the future. I don't know why I'm here but I can't go back home. Oh and I love your hair cut by the way.' See, it seems weird." you explained. Â
"Wait, you're from the future?" he asked.
"Yes, how do you think I could be so old when my mom only met 12 years ago?" you replied.
"You really talk like a Romanoff." he said and you smiled.
"Thanks, I think it's one of the best things someone said to me." you replied honestly.
"But now I start to think, how could I help you?"
"I just need you to fix my widow's bite and send a signal to Morgan." you replied.
"I stop you kid, I'm not the best with technology. And wait Nat let you use widow's bite?" he asked, visibly shocked.
"Technically, she didn't let me but I'm the scarlet widow and a widow without a widow's bite it's weird." you replied.
"Scarlet Widow?" he raised his eyebrow.
"Yeah because of my magic" you replied.
"Not because of something else?"Â
"Why do everyone think I chose this because of my mom?"Â
âBecause you have the same habit of playing with your hands when youâre nervous,â he pointed at your hands. Honestly you didnât realize you were nervous until her said it. âBut what tell you Natasha didnât put a mic on me?â he asked.
âWould you let her if she asked you?â he seemed to think about it before he shook his head. âSee? Now I need your help, Iâll explain what to do.â you started but he cut you off.
âSorry but you know that they can record us with Friday?â he asked but you smirked
âIâm the best friend of the little genius Morgan Stark, I know how to hack Friday easily.â you said proudly.
âOkay youâre really Natâs daughter.â he said and you laughed. After twenty big minutes he finally accepted to keep your secret and help but with the condition to tell him all you know about the future partners of Lila, just to be prepared.
But when he made his way to the lab he was greeted by the last person who could possibly be there. âOh Wanda, itâs a surprise to see you here.â he said. The Sokovian turned around at his voice, she seemed very tired and sad but she was like that since the incident with America.
âHi Clint, uh- yeah, Fury sent me someone to tell me that the Avenger wanted to talk with me.â she said but didnât make eye contact with the archer.
âItâsâŠnice to see you againâŠI suppose.â he said, clearly unsure if that was a good or a bad news.
âOh you donât have to act like this, Iâll just talk with them and go away as soon as possible.â
âUh, I think you should be stay a little I mean you should have a lot to say with anyoneâŠI really want to stay but I have something to do so, see you later.â he said and run in the lab before she could reply
In the Lab Clint saw Natasha and Tony, they were talking about something and he wasnât focus on the conversation when he saw this. Your widowâs bites were on the table in front of the duo and according to the billionaire's face, it was something that even him couldnât understand.
âDoes anyone know why Wanda is here?â Barton said and gained the attention of his two teammates.
âSteve wants to recruit her back and according to Fury, Iâm not qualified enough to oppose. And that even if that means to let a woman who attempted to kill a little girl in my tower.â he explained and the Russian sighed.
âDonât listen to him; sheâs here because we need her for any potential new menace.â she replied.
âYou act like that because you donât have children, Romanoff, but Iâm pretty excited to know how youâll act when she would harm your little copycat. Talking about her, what did she tell you?âÂ
âShe just said she needs our help to go back to her home. I think we can try to help her, she didnât look like a threat or anything.â Clint explained and Natasha looked at him suspiciously. âAnd what is it?â he asked, pointing the device on the table.
âA little from our little guest.â Tony said, and Nat rolled her eyes. âI donât know who did this but itâs a genius. There are a lot of gadgets in only one.â he added.
âCan I see it?â the archer said and took them before they could reply. He examined the thing while remembering what you said about how to send a signal discreetly. âAnd what is this button?â he asked, pushing it.
âI donât know but it seems that nothing works.â Natasha said and her best friend hummed before he put your weapons down and took a step away.

[Earth 717]
Wanda was sitting on the couch in the living room, she stared at the window. The sun started to set again and you were not here. She came out for her trance when she heard footsteps behind her, she turned round to meet the green eyes she loved so much. Natasha didnât say anything, she just sat beside her wife and took her in her arms. It was always like this, when the Sokovian felt sad, empty or both; her wife would just hold her tight to remind her that she was not alone. They never end this habit even after your birth and when you were the reason she felt like this.
There was a comfy silence until Morgan entered the room visibly in a rush. âWe have a signal.â she said and your moms didnât wait before following her in her lab. âItâs not a big one so we think she sent it in a while now.â the young Stark explained when they were in the Lab with everyone.
âLike we excepted the signal donât come from anywhere in our universe, but I traced it and I found the location.â Tony said while the screen showed a lot of earth planets until it stopped on one of them, he zoomed and a signal appeared on the screen. âUniverse 616, Iâll do some research to know where exactly itâs from.âÂ
The room was drowned in the silence and noise of the keyboard until they stopped. âGot this.â he said and everyone looked at the screen. âNew York, from what seems to be the rest of an Avengersâ tower.â he explained.
âI can go now.â America said.
âNo, we come with you.â Wanda said.
âWanda, you retired from a while now you should let them go.â Tony said but the Sokovian didnât change her mind.
âItâs my baby so, of course we come. I donât want to hear anything, I should be there to protect her the first time.â she said and nobody wanted to argue. After she materialized her and Nat's suit, America opened a portal and they crossed it.Â
-------
[Earth 616, 2036]
On the other side of the portal, the three were ready to fight anyone who would face them but fortunately or unfortunately, there was nobody.Â
âAre you sure weâre in the right place Amrica, because it doesnât seem to have a soul?â Natasha said while looking everywhere for a sign of you.
âYeah, I came here a while ago but it was a decade prior.â she said and the woman nodded.
âI think we should split up to find her.â the red head proposed but she was quickly stopped by her wife.
âNo, itâs not right.â Wanda said and the two other women looked at her.
âWhatâs happening Wanda?â the younger asked.
âSheâs not here.â your mama whispered. âI canât feel her, sheâs not here.â she repeated louder.
âHey honey, itâs okay, maybe itâs just because weâre in another universe so your powers donât work.â Natasha tried to reassure her wife (or herself). âLetâs try to search a little.â she proposed and even if Wanda didnât think it was a good idea she couldn't say ânoâ when her wife looked so desperate.
Unfortunately for them after three hours of research and a world tour for Wanda in this universers they couldnât find you. âI think we should go back now. We will tell Morgan to affinate her research the next time.â America proposed and even if they didnât want to, your moms just nodded and after crossing another portal they were back home.
--------
[Earth 717]Â
When they came back everyone was expecting to see you but when they saw their faces, they knew.
âItâs impossible.â Morgan said before felling apart. You were not back, not yet.

a/n: IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!!! Even if I was a little stressed beacuse I was feeling that things were weird, I hope that everyone liked this chapter. Exciting things will happen soon.
What do you think is Lily's past? What happened to her? Im reading you!
Every way of feedback is very welcomed
đïž
I needed more. More of the way he held me after thinking I was drowning, of how his hands were on my thighs pulling me closer to him. The look on his face, the blue eyes looking at mine. I needed more of him.
"I-I think I had enough water," I said, clearing my throat and looking away, blushing.
But I don't want him to take his hands away from me. I want him to hold me the way he's holding me now.
"You want to go to the towel?" he asked me, making me nod and sigh.
We got out of the water and I walked slowly to the towel. Feeling the cold water was good, I stopped feeling the pain in my ankle and that made me happy.Â
I just laid there, facing the sun and waiting for my skin to get dry. I should put the bandage on again, but who cares? It's not like I'm going to get up and run. I'm not a masochist who loves to feel pain.
"Tell me more about yourself." I heard him say, laying on the towel in the same position I was.
"Hm? Why should I?" I smile looking at him.Â
His curls were now better thanks to the water. They were perfect spirals that made me want to touch them and twist them around my fingers.
"Well, because I want to know more about you." he shrugged his shoulders, looking straight to the sky.Â
"Oh⊠Yeah," I sigh. "What would you like to know?"
"I want to know who you are," he said, turning his face to look at me. "The true Lily."
The true Lily⊠No. He can't know. No one can know.
"E-ehâŠ" I mumble, swallowing thickly. "Well, you already know everything about me."
"That's it?" he frowned. "You are Brit, but from where?"
"Eh⊠Birmingham" I sighed. That's true.
"Oh, that's lovely" he nodded. "And⊠Did you study something? You went to university?"
"WellâŠ" I sigh, smiling weakly. "I tried, but I didnât get accepted anywhere.â
Lie.
"Oh? Why?" he frowned.
"I guess that they didn't like me." I mumbled.Â
Lie.
I loved studying. I wanted to go to university. I really did. But who hated it were my parents. They didn't like that I never paid attention to the family duties. And the day they found out I wanted to go to the university, it was one of the worst days of my life.
"What is this?" my father asked, watching the letters on top of the table.
"T-Those are the letters the universities sent back after I sent my solitudes." I mumbled, looking down. "For Ancient History and Art StudiesâŠ"
"No," he frowned. "How dare you?"
"But- Dad!" I frown, but immediately flinched when he got up. "I want to eventually be on my own!"
"Don't you dare to raise your voice to me!" he frowned, hitting the table. "You are not going there."
"Why not?" I frown. "Dad, I want to learn, get an education!"
"No!" he screamed.
I tried to stop him. But I didn't see what was coming. I wasn't fast enough to stop him from taking the lighter out of the pocket of his suit. I wasn't fast enough to take the letters away from him.
I just stood still, watching him burn the only chance I had to live my life.
I felt nauseous, breathing the smell of smoke and burned paper. I felt nauseous thinking about what my own father did, locking me in the cage for the rest of my life.
"Well, then they really wasted a very intelligent woman." Logan said, shaking his head.
"I prefer studying on my own." I sighed.Â
"But what about work?" he frowned.
"Work? I'm happy with where I work" I laughed. "I like baking and making coffee for the people who come into the restaurant. And I make handmade things and paintings."
"Oh, really?" he gasped. "What do you make?"
I smile and sit straight, looking around. When I found some shells on the sand I smiled, grabbing them and showing them to him.
"I have jars with a lot of types of shells and sea crystals" I smiled. "I make necklaces and other things, then I sell them to the tourist shops."
"Oh, a business woman, I see," he laughed.Â
If only you knewâŠ
"Yeah, kinda," I laugh, nervous. "I have to survive here somehow."
He smiled and looked at me, then at the sheets in my hand. He played with them, brushing his fingers on the palm of my hand, making me feel goosebumps all over my body.
His touch is soft, and even if he was touching the little shells, I felt like what he wanted to do was touch my skin.
"Can you make me a necklace?" he asked, looking up at me.Â
"What?" I frown, getting out of my mind. "Oh, of course."
"Nice," he smiled.Â
I took a deep breath and sighed, closing my eyes. I feel comfortable, but at the same time I don't.
I don't have control here. I canât help but like that heâs spending time with me and that I can let my guard down, but I'm too scared to do that. What if he finds out who I am? I should relax around himâŠ
But it feels good. I like how it feels his touch on my skin, with his eyes on me. It feels good when he helps me, holding me carefully and making sure I don't get hurt or that I won't fall.
Is this how it feels when someone cares about you, when someone is worried about your health, and happiness?
Then I like that.
"Tell me about you," I asked him, with my eyes still closed and humming as the sun warmed my skin. "So in that way I donât let a stranger walk inside my house without permission."
"Itâs not my fault you left the door unlocked." he chuckled.
"Shut up," I laughed.
"Well⊠as I told you I'm for Bristol," he sighed. "And⊠I mean, I already told you everything about me."
"So that's it?" I frown, opening an eye and looking at him.Â
"I'm pretty boring," he smiled weakly. "I didn't go to the university neither."
I look at him and bite my lip. He's smiling and looking at my lips, making me blush.
"Stop doing that," he whispered, this time his voice was deep.
"Doing what?" I frown, confused.
"Biting your lip" he said. "Because that makes me want to kiss you."
"O-oh," I swallowed thickly, surprised by his answer.
"Forget I said that," he mumbled, looking away. "I shouldnât have said that, sorry."
"No, no⊠it's okay." I said, clearing my throat. "Eh⊠Don't worry."
An uncomfortable silence fell between us. I just sat and searched shells on the sand while he just laid there on the towel. It was awkward.
But why? He wants to kiss me. And I think I want to kiss him too.
"You like this one?" I asked, showing him a shell I found. "It's kinda orange."
"I love orange," he smiled, looking at it. "Would you make me a necklace with this one?"
"I have a lot of orange shells," I smile softly.Â
He looked at me with a smile, sitting straight too and looking around, playing with the sand and grabbing shells too.
I smiled looking at him, watching how he left the shells on my hand, how his fingers touched my skin while leaving the shells, how he gasped when he found shells of different shapes and colors.
"Can we go back?" I asked him, looking at the water.
"Of course" he nodded.Â
We put the shells on my bag and he helped me stand up, holding my hands. I was so close to him, and he just smirked.
"What-" I frown, but then screamed surprised immediately.
He picked me up, bridal style, and ran to the water with me in his arms. I laughed, holding onto him and gasping when I felt the cold water on my skin.
"Don't move your feet, Lily," he said, chuckling.
I laugh softly and nod, looking at him and relaxing. I just floated, looking up at the sky with a smile on my lips. I could feel his hands on my back, holding me. I could feel his eyes on me, but I just ignored it.
"I only know you for two days," I heard him whisper.
"True." I hummed.Â
"And ,I want to kiss you" he repeated, making me open my eyes and sigh.
"LoganâŠ" I sighed, tensing a little.Â
"I know, I'm sorry" he sighed. "Eh⊠why don't we go back to the apartments? It's time for your medicine."
"Yeah," I sighed, holding his shoulders.
We went back to the towels, this time to get dressed. I wrapped the towel around me after shaking off the sand.
He helped me again, picking me up so I could go upstairs and then he helped me get in the car. But it was tense sitting in the car with him.Â
I looked at his right hand holding the steering wheel while the other was out of the window. I wanted to feel his hand on my thigh, placing his hand there like saying "I'm here". This feels like being on a rollercoaster that goes too fast and I can't see the end.Â
My life had been a rollercoaster once. I'm not ready to live through it a second time.
I looked at my hand, frowning. That ring felt heavier than it looked. It was too bright.Â
"You should be happy," my mother said, nudging my hand and making me stand with my back straight, shoulders back and chin up. "I was already going to give up on you."
"I'm sorry, mother" I frowned, grabbing the material of the dress and sighing.Â
"You should go with Adrien." she sai,d, looking away from me.
"Yes, mother." I sigh, walking away, facing what is going to be my future.
"Lily?" Logan called me, making me gasp and look around. "Weâre here."
"Oh, yeahâŠ" I sigh. "Sorry, I was just⊠thinking."
"MhmâŠ" he hummed, getting out of the car after parking it and then walking the other way to open my door.
He picked me up on his back again, walking upstairs and then leaving me in front of my door. I smiled weakly at him, giving him his backpack.
"WellâŠ" he sighed, trying to not look at me.
"Come in," I said, opening my front door. "You want the necklace⊠right?"
"Oh, yeah" he smiled weakly. "But I'm going to get changed."
"Okay" I nodded, biting my lip and opening my door.
đź
How can I be so stupid? Asking her not once but twice!
God, Lando. You should be using your head and not your dick.
I walked inside the apartment and took a quick shower, trying to cool down and forget everything that happened.
But God⊠how can I forget it? I had her close to me all the time. I saw her smiling, I counted the moles of her face, I saw how blue her eyes get with the sun. I touched her warm skin and held her while we were in the water.
"Oh, come on!" I groan feeling how my boner was growing because I was thinking about her. "Are you serious?"
Just thinking about her makes me feel this way. I wanted to kiss her so badly, I wanted to touch her all the time. When we were on the water I could feel her hard nipples. When we were sitting on the towels I just couldn't help but see her body. And during the car ride the only thing I wanted to do was place my hand on her thigh and squeeze it softly.
"Fuck" I moaned, touching myself and searching for a realease.Â
How will I survive the next few days without going crazy? I can't go and act like this in front of her? What will she think about me?
I rested my forehead against the wall, feeling the cold water on my nape and running down my back.Â
I'm scared of these feelings, but I don't want them to end. I want to keep them, even if it only means a summer thing.
After getting out of the shower I got dressed, wearing something comfortable. I dried my hair and looked at myself in the mirror.
"Don't do more stupid things" I frown, pointing at myself.
I grabbed the keys and locked the door, going to hers and opening it slowly behind me.
"Lily, I'm here" I sighed, walking inside the apartment.
Then she walked out of the room with a towel wrapped on her hair, wearing an oversized hoodie and shorts underneath it.
"Oh, hey" she smiled, taking off the towel and moving her hair with her fingers. "I washed the shells"
"That's nice" I smiled softly, following her around the apartment like a lost puppy.
She opened the door of another room and I smiled. It's her painting room. I saw it yesterday when I walked in front of it, but now being inside of it is amazing.
"Wow" I smiled, looking around.Â
There are some canvases hanging on the walls, shelves with notebooks and every type of drawing materials. On the other side of the room there is a table with boxes and jars on it, with jewels hanging on the wall.
"This is amazing, Lily" I smile looking at her.Â
"Thank you" she chuckled. "Come on, grab that chair"
I followed her finger and nod, grabbing the chair that was in front of the other desk. I put it next to her, sitting on it and smiling. Now she smells better, something fruity.Â
"How do you want it?" she asked me, looking at me.
"Eh⊠I don't know" I frown, looking at her and then at the other necklaces she had. "That one looks nice"
"So basic" she laughed, rolling her eyes.
I chuckled softly and looked at her. She started working on it, making a little hole on the orange she found and then put a small ring on it.
"Silver or gold?" she asked, grabbing something from a box.
"Eh⊠silver" I nodded, smiling.
"Yeah, you look like a silver guy" she liked softly, painting the edges of the shell.Â
I followed her movements closely over her shoulder, watching how she poked the tip of her tongue out while she focussed on the painting part.Â
I just wanted to touch her hair and brush it away from her eyes, rest my chin on her shoulder and kiss her cheek. I just want to do all those things but I'm scared she'll think I'm taking advantage of her.
"You want a long chain?" she asked, turning her face to look at me.
She was too close, and it was perfect. I could feel her breathing in my skin, and none of us cared to move away. I could lean on her and press my lips on her, it's just some centimeters away. ButâŠ
"Yeah" I whisper, looking down at her lips.
And I pulled away. I don't want to do something stupid. I don't want to regret things with her.
"Okay" she whispered, licking her lips.
I sigh, looking away and swallowing thickly. I was going to kiss her, I had the perfect chance to do it.
"Here you have" she said, showing me the necklace.
"It's⊠it's perfect" I smile. "Thank you, really"
"it's nothing" she smiled, looking away and putting the things she used back in their place.
And silence fell between us, again. An uncomfortable silence of not knowing what to do or say. I don't mind sitting close to her, our knees touching each other. I don't mind having her in my personal space. But being in silence kills me, because I can hear the voices that ask me to make a move.
"Do you want to stay for dinner?" she asked suddenly, breaking the silence.
"Yeah" I nod, relieved.
She smiled and nodded, taking a deep breath and standing up. She went to the kitchen, walking slowly with the crutches, and I followed her.Â
"Do you want to learn how to make a Greek salad?" she asked looking back at me.
"If that means learning from the best chef I know, yes" I smile, standing next to her.
I saw her blush and I chuckled. She started to explain things, not only about the recipe but about the whole Greek gastronomy. It was so beautiful hearing her talk about something she loves and watching her do something she loves.
It just makes me fall for her even more.
"This is amazing, Lily" I groaned while eating the salad. "God, you are amazing"
"Thanks" she chuckled.
I spent nearly all day with her, and I don't want it to end. I woke up thinking about her and I will fall asleep thinking about her.Â
"Oh, do you want to watch Peaky Blinders with me?" she asked me, remembering that I told her that I watched the series.
"Oh, definitely" I smile nodding.
Great. Now I can spend more minutes with her.
We went to the living room and she sat on the couch, letting a loud sigh of relief escape her lips.Â
"Do you want to put your foot on something?" I asked her, sitting too close.
"Yeah, I should" she sighed.
I chuckled and grabbed a cushion, pulling the coffee table close to her so she could rest the foot there.Â
"Better?" I smile.
"So much better" she sighed.
The episode started to play, and even if I tried to pay attention to the screen, the fact that she was inches away from me,.kept me unfocused.
I want to hold her. Why can't I hold her? I just want to feel her body pressed against mine again, is that too much to ask?
I had an internal battle in my brain. I wanted to make a move on her, touch her and kiss her. But at the same time I wanted to keep a distance in case I fall too hard and end up with my heart broken.
"Logan" I heard her call my fake name.
"Hm?" I hummed without tearing my eyes off the screen.
"I'm sleepy" she whispered, making me frown and turn my head to look at her. "SorryâŠ"
I didn't notice that two episodes had already ended. I was too deep in my mind that the time went so fast and I couldn't enjoy my time with her.
"No, hey. It's okay" I smiled weakly, sitting straight and sighing. "I guess it is my cue to go back to my own apartment"
I saw her nod and I sighed, getting up. She followed me, getting up slowly and walking with me towards the front door. It was like the shame walk with her following me behind.
"Well" I sigh, grabbing the doorknob. "Good night"
"Good night, Logan" she smiled holding the door.
Good job, Lando.
I got out and sighed when I heard her closing the door. I walked towards my own apartment, but I felt like something was pulling me back to her door.Â
So I turned around and walked until the door was in front of me. Should I knock? Open the door? She would think I'm crazy.Â
"Fuck it" I groan.Â
UI grabbed the doorknob and opened it, finding Lily there, breathless.
"Hey" she smiled, making me take a step and cup her cheeks with both of my hands. "Logan?"
And I just did it.Â
I pressed my lips on hers, not wanting to be rude. I waited for her to kiss me back, to move. She was tense, not even hugging me. So I just pulled away.
I fucked up. I messed up things. I shouldn't have done that.
And then I felt her soft lips pressed on mine, kissing me slowly, with her hands on my chest.
She's kissing me.
"Stay" she whispered against my lips, making me smile and kiss her back, picking her up and walk towards the bedroom.
I sat on her bed with her on my lap, my hands on her things close to her ass. None of us stopped the kiss, not even when she started taking off my shirt, not even when I slipped my hand under her shirt. It was addictive, her lips are like a drug I never want to stop taking.
"Fuck!" she gasped suddenly.
"What, what?" I frown, pulling away, looking at her with little tears in her eyes. "Lily, hey. What's wrong?"
"I moved the ankle" she mumbled, hiding her face on my neck and trying to take deep breaths. "Fucking hell, it hurts"
"Oh, LilyâŠ" I chuckled, rubbing her back. "It's okay. Did you take the medicine?"
"Yeah, when we had dinner" she whispered, wrapping her arms around my neck.
"Do you have ice?" I whisper. "It will be okay"
I felt her nod and I sighed. I got up from the bed, leaving her there while I went to the kitchen to grab a towel with the ice cubes.
"GodâŠ" I sigh, palming myself trying to fix the bulge on my joggers.Â
When I walked back to her bedroom she was laying on a side of the bed, making me bite my lip and take a deep breath. She wants me to stay for real?
"Here you have" I whisper, placing the towel on her ankle and hearing her gasp, then sigh of relief.
"Stay, Logan" she whispered. "Please?"
"I think that what happened is a way of saying that I should leave, Lily" I sighed, smiling weakly.
"No, hey" she frowned. "Stay, I want you to stay. I'm asking you to stay here and sleep with me. I want to, you are not forcing me"
I sigh and nod, biting my lip. I walked to the side of the bed she left empty for me, sitting on it and looking at her.Â
"You don't mind if I sleep on my boxers?" I whisper. "It's too hot at nightâŠ"
"No, don't worry" she smiled. "Unless you have something to hide"
"Oh, ehâŠ" I blushed. The boner was growing.
"I'm joking" she laughed. "By the way, you'll have to take off the towel soon, soâŠ"
"Yeah, I know" I laughed softly.
I lean my back on the headboard, taking a deep breath. Then I felt her moving closer to me, making me wrap my arm around her shoulders when she rested her head on my chest.
"You are a beautiful stranger" I whisper.Â
"I'm not a stranger anymore, am I?" she whispered looking up at me, moving her eyes to my lips.
"No, you are not" I whisper, leaning in and kissing her again.Â

@eyeless-smiles  asked:
Send âČ to pull my muse into your museâs lap!
:)
@mad-hunts  answered:
ignoring the corinthian and in barton's case, on purpose, wasn't likely something a lot of people would be daring enough to do â but one should never underestimate just how petty the dollmaker could be either. and after getting into a disagreement with cori where he refused to acknowledge that he was wrong to do something, you better bet that barton wasn't going to take that lying down; so giving him the 'cold shoulder' was what he resolved to do. the only problem with that was that the corinthian was about as bullheaded as him. thus, while the doctor was content to pretend like he couldn't hear the other as he tried to talk to him, cori really didn't seem to be.
he must've been more dissatisfied than he was letting on, in fact, because one moment the dollmaker was seated in his own chair... but the next? barton was suddenly being pulled into corinth's lap. and a sharp exhale left him right after. at least, before his lips were soon pulling downward in a deep frown to show his irritation. â uhh, yeah, excuse me? what the hell do you think you're doing? â barton let out an incredulous scoff. this guy, or being rather, had a lot of gall â the sharpened fingernails of a thumb and index finger soon grasping cori by the cheeks from where he sat. barton tilted his head as he dug them into the skin.
â if i don't want to talk to you because you were being an arsehole, that doesn't translate to 'force me to pay attention to you.' â
The Nightmare likes pettiness. He relishes in driving anyone around him crazy with making scenes from issues of little consequence. Barton is the perfect kind of person to subject such pettiness towards.
But there's one thing that the Corinthian can not stand. And it's being ignored. Clearly, his behaviour has begun to irk Barton, as he's begun giving him the silent treatment.
The bubbling agitation that is summoned from the dollmaker upon pulling him into his lap draws a sharply proud smile across the Nightmare's lips. He sounds so pretty when he's annoyed.
Despite the fingernails digging into his cheeks, the monster's smile doesn't falter.
"Keep ignoring me, and I'll drill my knife into the back of your skull." He suggests comfortably. Splayed hands gently caressing up the dollmakers thighs as a taunting smile urges Barton to play along.
"You can't stay mad forever."

okay so I slept on it... and as much as I hate to say it I think I'm disappointed with episode five
really disappointed
putting my thoughts under a cut, they're mostly critical but there's some praise in there too
I'm not gonna lie some parts of this episode were fantastic. I legitimately started crying when Crosshair picked up Mayday's helmet and started lining them all up. but as much as I wanted to feel the same way about the other emotional moments in this episode (and they were a lot) I just didn't and it's weird because they feel right from a storytelling perspective but execution wise?... yeah, I have some thoughts
for starters I'm getting really frustrated with Corbett and co's aversion to showing us characters reacting to major events. I fully expected this episode to pick up where we left off but instead we went straight to the timeskip, foregoing all the initial stages of Crosshair's reintegration into the team (similarly people have pointed out how disappointing it is that we didn't see Crosshair react to the news of Tech's death. or Echo reacting to the news of Fivesâ death. can we see the pattern here?)
we're supposed to feel like this tension in the team has been going on for a while but instead we're just told that it has. yes, it makes sense for this to be the case but when you think that the whole thing is resolved in one single episode, you start to realize just how damn rushed it is
so much of this episode relied on clunky exposition to fill us in on what's happening instead of just taking the time to show us. imagine if instead of one episode we had three episodes to develop this story line. one on Pabu, one on Barton and one final one for the mission where Crosshiar and Hunter's tension comes to a head. just imagine.
we have so much room for side quests where these characters' conflicts can broil and stew and develop in the background and we can get a real sense of time passing and a sense of how this affects them. we got a whole episode dedicated to showing us what Omega's imprisonment was like on Tantiss, imagine if they'd put the same effort into setting up Crosshair's return the same way
instead this is really starting to feel like we're trying to get Crosshair's arc out of the way so we can move on to the next one (which I presume will be about Tech) and if we do get episodes where this could have been developed as a background subplot I will chew my socks off
also if I see another giant worm creature living underground in a star wars media, I will throw myself off a cliff
NO MORE FREAKING CREATURES. we're sick and tired of them. why, why do we have to waste precious screen time on a redundant action scene? it feels so old at this point. not to mention how obviously shoehorned it is because a) it messes with Outpost's plot and b) Outpost never mentioned this being the purpose of the sensors meaning this is obviously something the writers retconned into existence to hastily cobble the plot together
a very predictable one too, I swear to god I expected it to be a worm the moment they showed the ground shake, I swear
yes, it was supposed to show us the batch working together as a yay team moment but I personally feel it was pretty lackluster (none of them actually put their special skills to good use, I'm baffled by how useless Hunter's sense were here). imagine if instead of this we got an episode that was actually interested in exploring the conflict between these two
have them walk off to quarrel after Hunter sees Crosshair acting strange with the helmets (the one piece of setup I would praise) then accidentally fall through a weak point in the ice, plunging them underground. and instead of an action scene we get a long episode of them trying to get out of the maze, walking through the tunnels and struggling to cooperate in between bouts of bickering. have Crosshair internally freaking out because this is all so similar to him and Mayday crawling through the tunnels. maybe have one of them step on an old mine, echoing that same moment in Outpost
have Hunter ask Crosshair why he knows about these mines and who taught him to disarm them. have Crosshair completely reluctant to tell him
seriously there is SO much wasted potential here...
which leads me to the next point which is dialogue. the worst side effect of rushing plot is that most of your dialogue ends up being expository and it really showed. characters saying exactly how they feel, over explaining and pointing out things that could have been shown. it all feels even more egregious when you realize that Crosshair is the one saddled with most of the exposition making him not only weirdly talkative this episode but also nudging him into the out of character territory
because Crosshair has always been taciturn and roundabout in the way he expresses himself and I feel like this was sorely lacking this time. it's a shame because that's one of the main things that made him so complex and interesting to watch
call me crazy but we didn't need Crosshair and Hunter acknowledging their mistakes. a meaningful look or a silent moment shared between them would have sufficed. we didn't need Crossahir saying what he's done, we know what he's done, and knowing Crosshair that shouldn't have come out so earnestly either
I feel like the show has proved that it's really good at conveying these nuances in a subtle way but somehow it forgot all about it in its urge to hurry the plot along
I don't know if I'm wrong or right about this but I really hope I'm not. I'm not saying the writers are neglecting Crosshair as a character, there were moments where I could really feel how much love they have for him. but the telling of that story really fell flat
all in all this episode felt like 'finish crosshair's story arc: speedrun edition'. the right story beats are there - the hug, the confrontation, honoring Mayday, focusing on the tremor - but they're so rushed and the dialogue is so expository and clunky that they left me feeling hollow
(also are we really going to pretend it's okay for AZ to be there?? your sole chip removing droid and it's used as target practice by the man with a hand tremor and a 50% accuracy rate?? hello??? anyway, just a nitpick lol)
all in all there is a lot to love and in a sense we got everything we wanted but I do wish it had been done differently

Touron
Pairing: John B x Reader
Fandom: Outer Banks (Netflix)
Summary: John B meets you at a beach party. Are you a Pogue or a Kook? *spoilers* The title gives it away ;)
Warnings: Cursing, one slight reference to smut
*******
"Alright, you can't understand the Outer Banks without understanding the boneyard. It's kinda like a three-layer burrito. There's us and our friends, the working-class derelicts from the Cut. Then, there are the Kooks, the rich second-homers. They're mostly from pouncy-ass boarding schools, just rich trustafarian posers. Our natural enemies. And then, there are the Tourons. Totally clueless. Here for a week on vacation with their families. Chum for the sharks."
"Hey," you smiled at the first person to look at you at a party you found on the beach. "I'm new around here. Is this party for something?"
John B didn't know what to make of you when he first saw you. He couldn't figure out if you were a Pogue or a Kook. He answered you with a shake of his head. "Nah, nah. We're all just hanging out. Do you, uh...want a beer?"
"Sure, thanks." You took the beer from him and started taking in your surroundings. You realized there was no one there you could talk to.
"What's your name?" John B suddenly asked.
You gave your name, and John B gave his full name in return.
"Well Y/n, you seem a little lost. You want to hang with me for a bit?"
Relief flooded your features. "That would be great. Thank you."
John B smiled. "No problem. Where on the island are you coming from?"
"The corner of Mankhurst and Shelley."
John B made note of that. That part of town was nicer, but it was still technically part of the Cut. He just hadn't known that the Bartons were selling their place.
So, you were a Pogue. It gave John B peace that he could put you into one of the categories. It comforted him even more that the category was his own.
After John B figured that out, he was much more at ease around you. Or maybe it was your conversation skills causing him to feel that way? Either way, John B talked to you for a couple hours. He loved getting to know you. He learned where you were born, what kind of music you listened to, even your favorite color.
John B also got to telling you about his life. "Yeah, my dad set out to look for a shipwreck 9 months ago, and that was the last time I saw him. I know he's still out there, though. He'll find his way back home eventually."
You just sat there, listening intently.
He went on, "And now CPS is on my tail. They say I have to go into foster care if I can't prove I have a guardian."
"Man, that really sucks," you replied, "I wish I turned tail and ran the first time CPS found me," you revealed, taking another sip of your drink.
That took John B off guard. "Wait. You were in the system?"
"I am in the system. My foster family think they're being nice by inviting me on this trip, but I know it's just because they can't find someone to watch me for two weeks."
John B was still catching up. "Two weeks...but that would make you a..."
"Tourist, I know that."
He cringed. "Well, that's not exactly what we'd call you here..."
"And what would that be?" you wondered.
John B leaned away from you in anticipation of your reaction. "...A tour-on."
Your eyes went wide. "As in, moron?!"
John be started laughing as he nodded.
"Oh my god! You people are mean around here," you pointed out.
"Well, what if I said it doesn't apply to you?" John B offered.
"Still mean...but I'll take it." You took another sip.
John B changed the subject. "So, you're in the system?"
"Have been since I was 11. I'm 16 now."
"Damn, for five years? Is it really as bad as some people say it is?"
You sighed, "Well, they take you away from your home, make you live in places that shouldn't be homes, and you're moving around all the time...," you trailed off, looking at the ocean.
John B apologized, "I'm sorry to bring it up--"
"No, no. It's okay. I'm sorry you're being threatened with it," you returned. "The family I'm with now isn't so bad. I mean, they're not good either, but they don't really care if I go out on my own, which is a plus...and a minus, I guess..."
"...So they wouldn't care if you didn't come home tonight?"
You laughed, "They wouldn't care if I didn't show up 'til they were pulling out of town."
"You should come stay with me, then," John B offered, and only then did he realize the implication of his request. "I mean, not like that. I mean, unless you want it to be like that, in which case, I wouldn't be opposed to--"
"Just stop talking, before you dig your hole any deeper." You smiled, "But sure, I'll come stay with you. Maybe that way this vacation will actually be a vacation." You offered a toast to John B, almost like a handshake to seal the agreement between you two.
John B lightly tapped his red solo cup against yours, and the two of you took a drink.
*******

Forbidden (Part 5)
Pairing: Doctor!Strange x Fem!Reader
Synopsis: Stark throws a party to celebrate the mission's return and Y/n decides it's time to tell Stephen the truth.
Word Count: 8k
Warnings: Descriptions of one single sexual act (almost nothing)
A/N: I'm sorry it took me so long to post this chapter, but I always have the feeling that when it comes to this series I'm writing more for myself than anyone else. Anyway, I hope you like this chapter. The ending is a bit silly, but I couldn't help it and I actually found it funny.
SERIES MASTERLIST
"Take Romanoff to the medical wing" Stark ordered as soon as they set foot in the Tower "Bruce, go with her. Let me know if there are any changes".
Bruce accompanied Barton and Steve who were carrying Romanoff on a makeshift stretcher. They disappeared into the elevator.
"Is she going to be okay?" Stark asked turning around and facing Stephen. Stephen nodded "The injuries are serious, but as far as I could examine there was no neurological damage. With proper care she should be fine, but I doubt she'll be back to work anytime soon."
Tony sighed heavily putting a hand to his face and then looked around "For a moment I thought I would never come home."
Thor patted him on the shoulder "Good job, Stark."
"If you'll excuse me I'm going to take a shower and sleep for three nights straight" Sam said waving to Stephen "See you around, Doctor."
Stephen just shook his head. He was supposed to go back to the Sanctum, but he was still standing there waiting to see you. During all that unbearable mission he could only think of you. How he wanted to come home and see you smiling at him.
"If it's not to much to ask, Doctor, I need to get back to New Asgard." Thor said and then turned to Stark, "Keep me posted on Romanoff's recovery."
"So you have a computer now?" Stephen asked wryly.
Thor smirked "Better than that, I have a phone in my house."
Stephen rolled his eyes "Yeah, right. Super modern." He moved his fingers opening a portal "Have a nice day."
Thor walked through the portal and then looked back, "Don't forget to invite me to the party, Stark."
Tony nodded and the portal closed. He patted Stephen on the chest "You did really well there, you know, with all that magic. It was quite useful."
Stephen rolled his eyes "You didn't do too badly either."
Tony grinned "See, I said we make a good team. The mechanic and the magician" Tony said pretending to write in the air.
"We both know we're neither of those things." Stephen answered dryly and Tony glared at him and was ready to respond with something intelligent when Y/n turned the corner and ran towards them. Stephen's heart sped up when her eyes focused on him and for a millisecond he thought she would hug him, but then she hugged Stark who squeezed her in his arms lifting her off the ground.
Stephen swallowed thickly. There was something in his chest that he wasn't quite sure what it was, but it wasn't pleasant.
"You're here" Your voice sounded choked with the tears you were trying to hold back, but tears were streaming down your face as you cupped Stark's face turning it to one side and then the other "Are you okay? Tell me you're okay! " You grabbed his arms and kept looking to check for injuries.
"I'm fine, darling." And then you broke down in a desperate cry and Tony went back to hug you now stroking your hair and shushing you "I'm sorry, I tried to communicate with you..."
Jealousy. Stephen was feeling jealous. For some reason he wondered if for a moment you had missed him, or if you had worried that he might get hurt too, but you only had eyes for Stark and it was unreasonable to bother with that, but he was bothered.
He cleared his throat to remind you he was still there and then spoke in a voice more husky than he'd expected, "Well, I need to go back to the Sanctum. Call me for updates on Romanoff, Stark."
You stepped away from Stark wiping the tears with your hands "Doctor Strange... I'm sorry, I... Are you okay? America was so worried! She called me every day asking about you."
Stephen smiled. Apparently next to Stark he was Doctor Strange to you and not just Stephen. Interesting. "I'm fine. Thanks for keeping an eye on her while I was gone."
You nodded "I didn't really do much. She stayed most of the time at Kamar Taj. Wong was keeping her almost like a prisoner." You gave him a shy smile which made his heart jump in his chest. Stephen chuckled "Poor thing. Anyway, I need to go now."
You nodded and then frowned "Where's Nat?" It was Stark who replied "She got hurt⊠badly."
Stephen saw the horror in your face. "Where is she?"
"She's with Banner in the medical wing, there's a whole team of doctors taking care of her and besides, the doctor here said she's going to be fine, so it's bad, but no need to worry."
You exhaled heavily and then addressed him "Did you examine her?"
Stephen nodded "As far as I could with the few resources I had. She will be fine now."
You nodded "It was good to see you Doctor Strange." Stephen shook his head and opened a portal to the Sanctum.
"I'll keep you posted, Doctor." Stark said.
"Good." Stephen replied crossing the portal.
"You're coming to the party, aren't you?"
You glared at Tony "Party?"
Tony nodded "A victory like that deserves to be celebrated with a big party."
You looked at Stephen anxiously for his answer and he gave you his best smirk. "I wouldn't miss a Stark party." And just as he knew you would, you blushed and gave him that open smile he was dying to see again.
...
Natasha had two surgeries that afternoon. One to stop the internal bleeding in her abdomen and one to place two titanium screws in her knee. The doctors ran tests to check that everything was fine with her head, but just like Stephen said, everything was fine. When she finally went to one of the rooms in the Tower's medical wing you made a point of staying by her side until she woke up which didn't happen until 2am.
"Fuck...that hurts." It was the first thing she said. You got up immediately. She glared at you then smiled "Good to see you, Crazy."
You smiled back "Welcome back."
"Uh hm. Water... I need water."
You helped her drink from the cup and then gently hugged her "I missed you, Nat. Then you came back and scared me to death. Two surgeries!"
She gave a small laugh and then groaned in pain "You know I'm dramatic. Why go through one surgery when I can go through two. Besides, guys love it when women are in danger. I bet Bruce was here all day ."
You chuckled "You're right. He barely left your side."
She smiled "See, I'm always right."
You sat down on the bed next to her "Tony said things were really bad out there."
You watched Nat's face darken with some traumatizing memory and you rushed to say "We don't need to talk about this if you don't want to. There's so much I want to talk to you about."
She stared at you for a long moment and then smirked "Tell me it's not about Doctor Strange."
You looked at her slightly offended "Of course not. Do you really think I spent these three weeks thinking about him?"
She sighed "It is about Doctor Strange. Okay, spit it out. I hope there's something new this time, because honestly, it's getting pathetic, Y/n"
You looked at her slightly offended, but decided to let it go "He said he likes me."
Her eyes widened and you continued "And he took me to lunch the day you left for the mission."
Nat opened her mouth to speak a few times and then closed it again.
"I know you think he's too old for me, but I don't care, Nat."
"What about Tony? He cares."
You did not answer.
She sighed "Look, Strange is a nice guy. A bit arrogant, but he's a nice guy and if you like him I'll support you. But, Y/n, proceed with caution, please. Remember, he is more than twice your age, maybe you two want different things from each other and I don't want you to get hurt and I won't answer for my actions if that happens."
You nodded holding her hand "You're like the sister I never had, you know that, don't you?"
She nodded "I will always support you no matter what you do. Just don't kill anyone."
"Why not? You're the person I would call and ask for help to hide the body."
Nat giggled and then grimaced placing her hand on her abdomen. "Fuck, Y/n, I can't laugh right now, it hurts."
"Sorry" You squeezed her hand "Just... support me on this Nat. I really like him."
She sighed "Trust me, I know."
You stayed there with Nat four hours. You couldn't leave her alone. You talked about anything and everything that had nothing to do with the mission. Apparently, whatever had happened, it wasn't something Natasha wanted to think about.
It the sun was rising when you were interrupted by a knock on the door and Yelena came in "Hey, Y/n. I came to see if Nat... Hi, you're awake finally."
She approached and you took the opportunity to say goodbye "Well, I will leave you with Yelena, Nat. Need to try to get some sleep."
She smiled. âSee you.â
"How are you feeling?" You heard Yelena ask before leaving and closing the door behind you.
...
HOW IS ROMANOFF?
You stared at the phone's screen for a minute trying to make your mind understand that the message was really from Stephen. It had been two weeks since they had returned from the mission and Natasha was progressing very well although she had to use crutches which she was hating.
You finally managed to type an answer that was actually another question.
MAY I KNOW HOW YOU GOT MY NUMBER?
You bit your bottom lip waiting for him to respond.
I KIDNAPPED AMERICA'S PHONE AND MEMORIZED IT.
You couldn't tell exactly what expressions you were making as you stared at your phone, but something about your face caught Natasha and Yelena's attention. The three of you were in the lounge on the Tower's hosting floor talking and basically killing time as you watched Tony and Pepper argue over who to invite to the party Tony was keen to throw even though Nat was still recovering.
He went back to typing.
SO, HOW IS SHE?
You typed a quick reply trying to hide your excitement as Tony and Pepper approached.
SHE'S FINE, SHE'S RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF ME, ACTUALLY.
"Romanoff looks great, look at her!" You heard Tony saying and Pepper replied "I think we should wait another week or two."
Tony crossed his arms "It's a victory party, if we wait too long we'll be off on another mission."
Nat tsked "Speak for yourself, I'm off the radar for new missions for the next three months at least."
I MISS YOU.
You smiled from ear to ear feeling your face heat up.
YOU KNOW YOU CAN INVITE ME TO DINNER ANYTIME.
"Y/n, I'm talking to you. I need your help here!" You heard Tony saying and reluctantly looked up from your phone.
"Yeah, of course. You're right" You mumbled turning your attention to Stephen's answer.
YES I KNOW. WOULD YOU LIKE THAT?
You were about to answer when Tony stopped in front of you "May I know who you are talking to? Who is more important than me?"
Nat and Yelena started to giggle and Tony glared at both of them and then you "Is there something going on that I don't know about?"
Pepper stared at you for a long moment and then changed the subject "Okay Tony you want to have the party let's have the party. Is that okay, Nat?"
Nat shook her head "Are you really going to make me wear a dress with this horrible thing on my leg?"
Tony chuckled "You look great either way Romanoff, plus I'm sure Bruce doesn't mind."
You weren't paying enough attention to know what Nat replied. Your face was hot and you were still processing Stephen's messages. Was he really flirting with you?
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?"
You waited for his answer that came right away.
YOUR GODFATHER PROMISED ME A PARTY. I WAS WAITING TO SEE YOU THERE.
You turned your attention to Tony "So when's the party?"
He stared at Pepper waiting for an answer.
Pepper sighed "If I can organize everything it will be this Saturday."
You couldn't contain the wide smile that took over your face.
LOOKS LIKE I'LL SEE YOU SATURDAY THEN.
He quickly typed a reply.
EXCELLENT. I HAVE TO GO NOW, SWEETHEART. DUTY IS CALLING.
The pet name. That pet name never failed to draw a breath out of you.
SEE YOU, DOCTOR
You closed your cell phone screen and threw it on the couch next to you. Tony and Pepper had walked away still working out the details of the party and Nat and Yelena were staring at you curiously.
"So..." Nat finally asked.
You grinned "I need to buy a dress. A really, really gorgeous dress."
Yelena smiled âI think I can help you with that."
...
You were standing there looking in the mirror and wondering if the dress you chose wasn't a little too much. It was a strapless red dress with a heart cutout at the neckline. It was short and flared with a black bow cinching the waist. That dress combined with your hair tied in a ponytail, a diamond necklace and your tattoos seemed too much.
You sighed hearing the cell phone vibrate and walked away from the mirror. Anyway, now it was too late to choose another dress.
You read the message on your cell phone, it was from America.
WE ARE LATE. WE HAVE JUST ARRIVED FROM KAMAR TAJ AND STEPHEN LOOKS LIKE HE IS GETTING READY FOR A WEDDING. BUT WE WILL BE THERE SOON.
You smiled from ear to ear. You couldn't wait to see him. You responded with a smiley emoji and then nodded to yourself as if trying to encourage yourself and then went downstairs.
The hall was full, the music was loud. There were people there that you had no idea who they were. Some must have been Stark Industries shareholders, others were probably magazine columnists, journalists, in short, everyone Tony liked to invite to stay on the covers of magazines.
You walked between the tables getting too many stares which made you question again if you hadn't gone too far with the choice of your dress. Fortunately, you bumped into Thor, the first known face, who hugged you tight, taking all your worries out of your head.
"Hey, it's good to see you. You look beautiful!"
You smiled looking up to actually look at his face "You too"
He grabbed you by the wrist and pulled you towards the table where he was sitting with Steve, Sam and Bruce. "This girl..." Thor said pointing at you and the three of them  stared at you "She would be a queen in Asgard."
You stared blankly at Thor and then he took a sip from his cup and went back to saying "Singing is important to the Asgardians."
Sam nodded "Will you sing for us tonight Y/n?"
You shook your head "Not really."
Bruce disagreed "Tony rented a karaoke machine, he intends to get everyone singing tonight."
You chuckled "I'm going to love to hear you boys singing."
Steve chuckled shyly and then took a good look at you "Looking really pretty Y/n, expecting someone?"
You felt your face get hot. Was it that obvious?
"Are your friends from the band coming? Mike, that's the guy's name, right?" Sam asked "He seems to like you."
You shook your head feeling the air leave your lungs slowly. "I didn't actually invite them. No work tonight, just fun."
"And what kind of fun are we talking about?" Sharon asked approaching with Maria Hill right behind her. The two had apparently only left to fetch their drinks from the bar. Sharon sat next to Steve and you watched as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Such an intimate gesture in front of everyone. You wondered if it would ever be possible for you and Stephen to have that kind of intimacy. That is, of course, if he was really interested. You couldnât really tell.
"So what were you talking about?" Maria asked sipping her drink and you shrugged "Thor was complimenting my singing skills"
"She's amazing" Thor said again and Hill agreed "Your show at the last party was amazing, Y/n. I'm addicted to your songs." Hill completed.
"I'm following you on Spotify" Sharon said "And I want to go to one of your shows. Steve knows that, I'm trying to convince him to take me."
Steve chuckled "Loud music and night clubs aren't really my style, but we'll definitely go."
You grinned "Well, let's set a date then."
...
You were extremely bored and couldn't stop looking at the time on your cell phone display.
You were sitting at the table with Pepper, Tony, Rhodes, Happy and Fury listening to them talk about the mission and about a new mission that Fury wanted Tony and Steve to lead, this one apparently would be on Russian territory and Fury was really disappointed because Natasha would not be able to go with them.
You kept scanning the room with your eyes looking for Stephen and Pepper seemed to sense your uneasiness because she couldn't take her eyes off you.
You had been surprised to see Fury at Tony's party, he never attended social events, but then you understood. He was there on a mission of his own, ready to deliver new work to those he considered to be the leaders of the Avengers.
After a while you could see that Pepper was uncomfortable with the direction of the conversation, but you werenât paying attention to what they were saying because your eyes were fixed on the entrance of the hall, waiting to see Stephen who at that time should have already arrived. Deep down you feared that something had happened and he wouldn't come anymore.
"I thought Ms. Y/l/n would eventually become an Avenger as well, but it looks like she chose a more glamorous side of life." Fury said trying to get your attention.
You smiled at the old man "Unfortunately I don't have super powers, Director Fury, and I'm also too clumsy to fight like Nat or Agent Hill. If you saw me working out you'd be embarrassed"
He let out a rare chuckle, "Well, I'm sure you'd do well in one of your godfather's suits. Mrs. Potts wears hers on special occasions."
Pepper shook her head as she sipped from her cup, "It was a one time thing, Fury, and I swear I won't do it again."
"There is a prototype armor for Y/n, I'm still working on it." Tony said proudly.
You chuckled "I've already told Tony he doesn't have to bother because I'm not going to use it. I prefer my books and my music. Someone need to be ordinary in this family."
Tony shook his head "There's nothing ordinary about you darling, you're amazing" He put his arm around your shoulders and placed a small kiss on your cheek and only then did he really seem to look at you "That boy Mike, he's coming by tonight?"
You shook your head, feeling your face heat up when you realized that he made an association between your dress and a possible love interest.
"I didn't invite the band." You admitted.
"Why didn't you invite them? Mike seems like a nice kid, I think he likes you."
You were about to answer when you saw Stephen and America entering the hall and suddenly the words disappeared from your mind.
America looked beautiful in a cute pink dress, her hair pulled back in a ponytail, but your attention was riveted on the sorcerer dressed in one of the many Armani suits he owned.
"Y/n?" Tony was still waiting for your answer and you had to reluctantly look away from Stephen.
"Tony, Mike and I have nothing to do with each other."
"You needed to see the answer she gave the boy when he asked her out." Happy told laughing and you stared at him, glaring daggers.
"He's too young. And too stupid." You defended yourself.
"He must be what? 25 years old? Not that much younger." Rhodes said, deciding to intrude on the conversation. That was actually the problem with practically being raised in that Tower, all the Avengers felt that they were somehow responsible for you and therefore couldnât mind their own business."
"I think I like older men." You said feeling a little brave, your eyes went back to looking for Stephen in the hall finding him standing next to Steve's table talking and as he rarely did laughing.
"You're too young to say something like that." Tony said scolding you "Besides, Mike is older than you, he likes the same things you like..."
You sighed in frustration "You forgot I just mentioned he's stupid."
"Y/n, you're exaggerating. The boy is hardworking. He studies, works in the band..."
"Tony, it's never going to happen, okay? Can we change the subject now?" You said looking back at Stephen from a distance and feeling Pepper's eyes fixed on you. When you dared to look at her, she was looking in the same direction as you, brow furrowed with concern, but you couldn't care less and as soon as you watched Stephen heading alone to the bar you stood up "If you'll excuse me."
...
Stephen scanned the crowded room with his eyes looking for you as soon as he and America set foot there. It didn't take long for him to see you sitting at the table with Stark, Rhodes, Pepper, Happy and director Fury. Stark had an arm around your shoulder.
"Tony's parties are always so amazing." America said envisioned with all the extravagance that Stephen was already used to, but which for her was incredible.
"Are we calling him Tony yet?" He asked staring at her with an arched eyebrow.
She just stuck her tongue out at him.
"Hey Doctor, come over here." Came Thor's booming voice.
The two walked to a table further away on the left side of the room where Rogers, Carter, Wilson, Hill, Thor and Banner were.
"Nice to see you, doctor" Steve greeted him.
"How is Romanoff?" He asked and it was Banner who answered. "She's much better." Stephen couldn't help but notice the tone of relief in the man's voice. If it wasn't clear to Natasha, it was clear enough to everybody else that Bruce was in love with her.
"She's not too happy about the idea of ââusing crutches, but she should be down soon." Sharon Carter completed.
"What about you, little girl, how is life in a new universe?" Hill asked and America grinned.
"It's great. I like it here, all the differences are fascinating and Kamar Taj is so cool. It would be even cooler if Wong and Stephen weren't so bossy."
Everyone at the table laughed and Stephen confined himself to a smile, his eyes back on the table where you were. God, you were beautiful. Actually beautiful was an understatement. You wore a red dress that he couldn't see well from that distance, but your hair was tied back in a ponytail which was different from what Stephen was used to. He loved your air, but this way it was possible to see more of your beautiful face...
"Strange...?"
Stephen turned his attention to Steve who had asked a question to which Stephen paid no attention. "I'm sorry, can you say that again?"
America had sat down next to Maria Hill and the two had engaged in a conversation about how in one of the universes she had visited, people were made of ink.
"I asked how it feels to take a trip to another universe."
Stephen chuckled dryly "Not a good experience."
"He threw up." America said and Thor laughed exaggeratedly. "You humans are so fragile."
Stephen shook his head "If you'll excuse me, I'm going to get something to drink."
He walked towards the bar and asked for a shot of whiskey which he drank in one gulp and asked for another right after.
There was an internal struggle in Stephen ever since he had lunch with you before the mission. He was trying to convince himself that he shouldn't continue this flirtation, that it would inevitably lead to trouble once Stark realized what was happening. But on the other hand, he was tempted to take it further and find out how far you would go.
He downed his whiskey in one gulp and asked for a third. Double, no ice.
That afternoon you had challenged him by asking if he was aware that despite being Tony Stark's goddaughter, you were a legal adult and he was very much aware of that, he just didn't know what to do with it, how to proceed.
He wanted you, that was as clear to him as day, but the consequences seemed too grave.
He was too absorbed in his own thoughts to notice that you had approached.
"You look lonely. Need some company, doctor?"
He smiled and turned to look at you and his heart skiped a beat. Holy fuck, you looked beyond beautiful, you looked indecently sexy in that red dress. It was definitely too short in Stephen's eyes. He caught himself wondering how Stark let you walk around dressed like that.
The color suited you, not to mention it highlighted your tattoos. Stephen never liked tattoos, but on you he did. There were so many. Spread across your arms, your legs. One he was particularly fond of was a chest piece. A bluebird trapped in a cage trying to escape. He wondered if that was how you saw yourself.
"Stephen... you're staring." You said and then addressed the bartender. "A martini for me, please. And another whiskey for the doctor."
"I'm sorry... I got distracted by all this" He said gesturing to you. You blushed looking down at your dress.
"Is it too much? I thought you might like it." You said accepting the drink and taking a long gulp.
"Your whiskey, sir." Stephen accepted and turned his attention to you.
"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. It was meant to be a compliment. You look beautiful, Y/n."
You smiled charmingly at him. "I got it right then. It's hard to know what you like, Stephen."
He had to convince himself that he heard you right. You were really saying that you dressed like that for him. If that didn't answer his doubts about your true intentions, he couldn't say what would.
"Red suits you. It highlights your eyes, your hair and your tattoos."
You shook your head vehemently "I thought so. You look very handsome too, Stephen. As much as I love to see you in your robes, I have to say, you look much better in Armani. Almost irresistible."
He chuckled taking a long drink of his whiskey and feeling the alcohol starting to kick in.
"I didn't get a chance to say how happy I am that you're okay. I was so worried." You said looking away from him. Somehow you could flirt with him naturally, but you couldn't look him in the eye and tell him you liked him enough to be concerned when he went on a mission.
"I thought about you, Y/n, the whole time I was there." He admitted. "I knew I needed to go back because I needed to see you again. It was all I could think about."
You smiled, your cheeks turning pink. "You say these things, but you still haven't asked me out to dinner."
He smirked finishing his whiskey and too impatiently, filled the glass with a wave of his fingers. He looked around subtly "Is this what you want?"
"Well, Doctor, I'm more interested at the moment in knowing what you want. You are a mystery to me."
He touched your hand that was on  the top of the counter "Would it be too obvious if we left here and went somewhere quieter?"
You looked at him in surprise, but nodded in agreement "Not if I go first."
He nodded as he watched you walk away. God, that dress was doing things to him. He drank the rest of the whiskey, put the glass on the counter and walked out after you. He should have thought that in fact it was pretty obvious to anyone who could eventually be paying attention to the two of you, but he couldn't care less at that point. Maybe it was the alcohol that had made him so reckless.
You took the elevator and went up to the tower's hosting floor. Tony Stark could be irritating, but Stephen couldn't deny that he was extremely generous. There lived most of the Avengers who made the team their family. Those who didn't live there, lived in the compound in the country side of the city.
Stephen watched you turn on the lights and flop down on the huge sofa in the center of the room.
"Much better, don't you think?" You asked kicking off the extremely high heels you were wearing and putting your feet up on the sofa, making yourself comfortable. You could still hear the music coming from the lower floor.
"Yes. I used to like parties, but that was a long time ago." He said putting both hands in his pockets. He continued to stand, resisting the urge to sit down next to you.
"But you've been coming to Tony's parties a lot recently, for someone who doesn't like parties it's a little contradictory."
He smirked knowing full well what you were suggesting. He knew you wanted to hear him say it. He walked slowly towards the black grand piano that stood beside the panoramic window. The view of the city lights from that height was truly breathtaking. "You know damn well why I've been coming to your godfatherâs parties." He said sitting down on the stool in front of the piano.
"I don't know anything, Stephen. And I'm getting tired of not knowing."
He nodded opening the lid and touching the piano keys gently. "I used to play the piano before the accident. I could still play if I wanted to, but I don't see much truth in having to use magic to do anything at all."
Stephen could hide it from himself all he wanted, but he could never really come to terms with the damage of his hands and how it completely changed his life. He was still ashamed of the scars, for that reason he used to keep his hands in his pockets when he was around you. And also because he could control himself better that way when all he wanted was to touch you.
"I would love to hear you play. What would you play for me?" You rested your cheek adorably on your hand watching him as if he were the most important thing in the world to you and Stephen felt his heart racing in his chest.
"Love is blindness" He replied without putting much thought into it. Maybe it was because he had been listening to that song on repeat for a few days now because it made him think of you.
"Jack White's song?" You asked sounding surprised. He shook his head closing the piano again and getting up "U2's song. Bono wrote it in 1990 and it was released in 1991 on the Achtung Baby album. Jack White covered it at the request of The Edge in 2011".
You looked surprised "I didn't know that. I always thought it was Jack Whiteâs song."
"There's a lot you don't know, apparently." He said teasing you. He sat down on the sofa, careful to keep a safe distance, but as soon as he sat down, you crawled closer to him.
"I love knowing about these things and you seem to like U2."
He smiled "A lot. You don't like them?"
You grimaced "Not much. But to be fair, I never stopped to listen to their music. Only One, With or Without you and Beautiful Day."
Stephen rolled his eyes exaggeratedly "You have no idea what you're missing." He reached out to touch your hand that laid lazily on your thigh. "Promise me you'll listen carefully and then tell me what you think."
"Recommend me a song, then. It can't be Love is blindness because I already know that one."
Stephen smirked "Let's stick to the same album at least. I want you to listen to Ultraviolet and think of me while you do it, because I think of you when I'm listening to it."
You bit your lower lip "Anything for you, doctor."
...
You turned your hand over and Stephen laced his fingers through yours. You were surprised by his boldness, but you were totally determined to play along to see how far he would go. More than that, maybe you'd give him a little push. You had promised MJ and yourself that this would be the night you finally told him how you felt. The timing couldn't be more perfect.
Suddenly the air seemed thicker, your heart was pounding and you could hear it pounding in your ears.
"Stephen..."
He threatened to pull his hand away from yours, but you wrapped your other hand above his to keep it there.
"There's something I need to tell you. It's been a long time, I should have said it already."
He stared at you with those blue eyes waiting for what you had to say and the words just seemed to slip out of your head. Everything you had rehearsed tirelessly in front of the mirror while wearing that ridiculous dress just disappeared.
"Y/n..."
You shushed him "Please, let me talk. You can do whatever you want after, you can laugh, you can walk away, but first let me say it."
"Why would I laugh?"
You bit the inside of your cheek.
"Stephen I'm in love with you. If I haven't made it too obvious yet, I'm saying it now. I was always in love with you, even before the blip. I was too young to understand how problematic that was and then you disappeared for five years, but I never stopped thinking about you. The day you came back was the happiest of my life and I promised myself that having you around would be enough, but it's not enough."
You sighed heavily "I'm tired of this fruitless flirting, I want more than this and I think you want it too. It's not possible that I got it all wrong, I'm not that stupid..."
"You didn't get it wrong" He comfirmed.
You exhaled heavily only then realizing you were holding your breath. You kept your head down because you couldn't look at him. Your cheeks were on fire.
He touched your face, cupping your cheek and making you look at him.
"I thought I made it clear that I have feelings for you the night I saved you at the night club, young lady."
You shook your head negatively. "You said you liked me, then the other day you said you liked me as a friend..."
"I already explained myself about that. America and Wong were there and I was scared, Y/n." He tried to reason. "Do you understand how complicated this is? I'm more than twice your age and your godfather is the fucking Tony Stark."
You shook your head "I know, but I don't care. I'm an adult, I can make my own choices, Stephen."
He stroked your cheek with his thumb. "I know. That's why I'm here."
That was going better than you thought. Wasn't? At least he hadn't laughed, and it didn't look like he was going to walk away.
"So?" You asked impatiently.
He sighed taking one of your hands that held his and brought it to his lips. He kissed your hand lingeringly and then placed it on his face and leaned towards it closing his eyes for a second and sighing. You could have sworn you would melt right there, it was obscenely sweet.
"I have an idea or two, but I want to hear you say it first." He said staring at you with a cocky smile in his face.
You pulled your hand away and hugged your knees "I just said so."
"Say it again. If I'm going to pick this fight with all the Avengers, I want to make sure I heard what you said correctly."
You bit your bottom lip and sighed heavily turning around and dragging yourself impossibly close to him. Then you held both of his hands and looked into his eyes "I'm in love with you Doctor Strange. I always have been." You rolled your eyes "Is it good now? Was it dramatic enough?"
He gave a small giggle "Dramatic? Yes. But not quite enough yet." He brought his hand to the back of your neck and pulled you close until your lips were brushing against each other.
"I've wanted to do this for so long, sweetheart." He whispered and then he kissed you. Just a touch of lips. Soft and sweet. He pulled away analyzing your reaction. "Now is enough." he whispered.
But you weren't sure if that was enough. Not when you've waited so long for this. "No. Do it again, but like you mean it this time."
He gave you a cocky smile and then went back to kiss you and as soon as you parted your lips for him, his tongue entered your mouth dominating yours, deepening the kiss that had the sinful taste of whiskey. You moaned softly surrendering to the kiss and wrapped your arms around his shoulders. His hand went down to your back pulling you closer to him, your breasts brushing his chest and you felt like your whole body was on fire. Everything seemed like a dream, one of your many fantasies of before going to sleep.
...
It was certain that Stephen had completely lost his judgment. Little did he realize that you were literally in the living room of the Avengers Tower and that anyone could walk in there and catch you kissing. At that moment anything other than you didn't seem to matter to him.
He'd waited for this for so long, convinced it would never happen, yet here you were and Stephen could feel his body responding to you and manifesting itself in a prominent erection that the suit pants he was wearing could do little to disguise.
You were the one who broke the kiss first to breathe, but Stephen wasn't ready to take his lips off you. He ran them down your chin and down your neck. You smelled so good. Whatever perfume you were wearing, it was Stephen's favorite scent now. He felt your hand gripping his hair, the other going down his chest and if he hadn't drunk a little too much maybe he would have noticed how quickly your first kiss was becoming too heated, but in the drunken state he was in, all he could think of was that he wanted you.
He wanted to know the way you tasted, the noises you would make when he finally took you. How you would moan his name while he was going down on you.
He bit lightly on your earlobe and watched as your skin prickled at the touch of his goatee.
"Stephen..."
God, the sound of his name coming out of your mouth was extremely arousing. He was so hard. It suddenly seemed like a good idea for him to show you what you were doing to him. He grabbed your hand from his chest and brought it down to his hip as he took your lips again in a hungry kiss. But as soon as he had you touching his bulge, you flinched and pushed him away slightly, breaking the kiss and clearing your throat looking extremely uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry..." You got up going to the small bar in the far corner of the room. Stephen watched you prepare a glass of martini. He shook his head trying to get his thoughts straight. He knew your first kiss had turned out to be more heated than he'd expected, but he was confused by your reaction.
He got up and walked over to the bar "Did I do something you didn't like?" He asked holding your hand and making you look at him.
You shook your head negatively. "It's okay. It just seemed a little too much for one night. I'm sorry, I'm being silly." You took a long drink of your martini.
Stephen sighed "No need to apologize. I... I went a little too far. It's just that you have this effect on me and I've wanted this for so long."
You smiled, but your cheeks were bright red, as if somehow what he was saying was  completely absurd. Maybe if his brain hadn't been enveloped in a cloud of alcohol, or if all the blood in his head hadn't gone down to his cock, he would have understood.
Before you could respond, you were interrupted by the sound of the elevator and Thor and America came out. "The girl was worried because the doctor had disappeared" Thor informed smiling and although Stephen was scared by the possibility of him understanding what was happening, it was soon clear that the Asgardian had not noticed anything, America on the other hand stared at Stephen and then at you and gave him a wink.
"Well, I'll leave you to him then." Thor said turning around and America followed him.
"On second thought, I just needed to know he was okay, we can get back to the party now."
The two took the elevator back and Stephen chuckled. "How is it possible that a 14 year old girl can outsmart an Asgardian god?"
You allowed yourself a small giggle "Thor is a sweetheart, but intelligence is not his forte." You took your glass and went back to sit on the sofa and Stephen watched you for a moment, still unsure.
"Sit with me, Stephen. I'm sorry I spoiled the mood."
He approached and sat next to you.
"You didn't. I overdid it and scared you."
You smiled shyly "I wouldn't exactly say I was scared. Surprised would be more accurate. And you don't need to apologize."
He touched your face "You're so beautiful. I don't know how I could contain myself for so long when all I wanted was to have you in my arms."
You placed your hand over his. "What now? What do we do now?"
He sighed thinking for a second. "What do you want to do?"
"Right now? I just want to be here with you, but I know we've been here long enough for everyone to notice we have disappeared. Not to mention Thor will tell everyone who asks that he saw us here, so we should probably head downstairs. But that's not what I'm talking about."
He sighed "Maybe... maybe we should keep this just between us for a while until I figure out the best time to talk to Stark..."
You bit your bottom lip, but you didn't say anything. And he knew that didn't please you.
"What is it?"
"It's just..." You held his hand in yours playing with his fingers and Stephen couldn't help but notice how small your hands were compared to his. That thought made his cock throb inside his pants and he mentally scolded himself.
"I don't want to hide it. I want to hold your hand, I want to cuddle with you in the living room. I want what everyone else has."
He smirked, finding it all too sweet, but maintained his stance as he suggested, "I know. We might get there eventually, sweetheart, but I'm talking about self-preservation here. I need to think of a way to convince Stark that this isn't wrong, which I'm sure will be very difficult. Plus, you know it's not just Tony. All the Avengers adore you and I'm going to get in trouble with all of them."
You sighed "Not all of them." You said it softly and Stephen didn't know if you really wanted him to hear it. "Nat knows. Yelena too."
Stephen exhaled heavily "Who else?"
"Peter and MJ."
"What exactly do they know?"
You looked at him shyly "That I'm in love with you and that I think you like me too. They approve."
Stephen snorted incredulously "I find it hard to believe Romanoff would approve this, sweetheart."
"She does. She told me. She just asked me to proceed with caution, but she said she would support me. Yelena is super cool about that too and Peter and MJ are on our side."
Stephen smiled sighing "America knows it all. She insisted I tell you how I felt. As you can imagine, she approves it, but I'm afraid the approval of three teenagers isn't enough to convince your godfather."
You chuckled "Peter and MJ are not teenagers anymore, and Nat and Yelena will be on our side too."
He smirked taking one of your hands and kissing it gently and then pulling you to his lips, but this time he tried to contain himself. He kissed you deeply, passionately, but made a Herculean effort to keep his hands to himself. However, your fingers entwined in his hair and with that you managed to pull a moan from the bottom of his throat.
"Now, that's not very smart."
Stephen pulled away from you instinctively when he heard Romanoff's voice. When he turned towards the direction the voice was coming from he saw her standing next to the elevator. Yelena beside her helping her walk.
"You realize that anyone can show up at any moment, right?" Yelena asked.
"Especially Tony" Natasha completed.
You started to giggle and Stephen stared at you in disbelief. "She's right, Y/n"
"Yeah, I usually am. I suggest you two head down to the party before anyone notices you're gone."
That said, the two entered the elevator and Natasha shoot him an angry look.
"Are you sure she's on our side?" Stephen asked chuckling nervously.
You grabbed him by the tie "Yes she is. Now give me one more kiss before we go, magic man."
And he obeyed. There was nothing he wanted more than to kiss you. Well, maybe there were a thing or two.
...
The night became considerably more tolerable now that you and Stephen had sorted things out. Well, not everything, but at least you could tell there was something between you and not just that flirting you could never be sure if it was real or something in your head. It was safe to say that you spent the rest of the evening wrapped in a kind of cloud of enthusiasm and there were, however ridiculous that definition was, butterflies in your stomach every time you and Stephen exchanged glances, some not so discreetly.
When most of the people had gone and only your friends were left, Tony did the favor of turning on the damn karaoke machine making everyone laugh every time someone was challenged to sing a song. However you couldn't complain, you were enjoying the show.
"Hey, Doctor, your turn" Wilson shouted after finishing a painful version of Streets of Philadelphia. You glared at Stephen who shook his head vehemently "No, thanks."
Sam looked around "Who's coming now? Come on guys, I just humiliated myself here, I'll feel better if you guys do the same."
"I've already humiliated myself enough" Pepper answered. She just finished singing It's all coming back to me now."
Stephen looked at you smiling. You were sitting at a table next to Nat and Yelena. To your surprise, he pointed at you "Why don't you make Y/n sing for us." He suggested and Wilson denied "No, come on. She won't help, she will only humiliate me even more."
You shook your head "I'm off today. Only you guys sing."
Tony climbed on the small stage taking the microphone from Sam's hand "The doctor is right. Come here, darling, show those scumbags how it's done."
Everyone started to press you and you threw an angry look at Stephen who was laughing. You got up going towards the stage "What shall I sing?"
Tony faced the small audience of Avengers "What do you guys think? Do we choose for her or let her choose?"
"Choose for her" Hill said.
"Let her choose" Stephen said staring at you "I'm curious to know what she will choose."
"You choose it, baby. Friday can find any song you want."
You stared at him blankly for a moment "Did you hack the karaoke machine?"
"What's the fun in only having 50 songs to choose from?" He asked defending himself and handing the microphone in your hand. He came down on stage and sat next to Pepper.
You thought for a second "Friday, play Cherry by Lana Del Rey."

October 7: Professor!Kink (Clint Barton, Sam Wilson)đ
Warnings: 18+readersonly, loss of virginity, pet names, Professor Kink, Sir Kink, voyeurism, praise kink, light degradation, some chokingÂ
Note: This is kind've all over the place. I feel like these are somewhat rushed oneshots and I apologize in advance for the whole book really if it's not up to the same standards you were expecting based on 2022 and 2023.Â
Copyright: I do not own Sam Wilson, Clint Barton or any other Marvel Characters. I also do not condone any copying of this.
àŒ*·Ë
You slipped into the dark school building, noting the security cameras were already off, and crept down the hallway as quietly as you could. You clenched the can of blood-red spray-paint in your hand tightly, as though holding it any looser would result in you dropping it.Â
Your heart was beating heavily in your chest, knowing that if there was a single teacher, janitor, or security guard here, you were in big trouble. You figured as long as none of your personal Professors caught you though, you would be less humiliated.Â
You made it to the large, plain wall that was going to be used later that week to start a wind farm project. Your plan was to write in big, bloody letters 'WIND TURBINES KILL BALD EAGLES'. Followed perhaps by a lovely drawing of a bald eagle if you had time. It pissed you off how in order to 'save the planet' with natural resources, they were willing to let an entire species of animal go extinct.Â
Yeah. They were really saving the planet there.Â
You shook the can up quickly, deciding to wing it so that you could get done faster. The spraying sound made you stop halfway through the letter 'W', looking around. You knew it wasn't really that loud, only sounding like that since the building was dead silent. But still, it felt like an alarm just signaling to anyone that you were there.Â
'I'll just knock this out in one go.' You thought to yourself and quickly wrote out the letters. Satisfied, you decided to skip the bald eagle (the letters would probably be enough) and you turned around before freezing.Â
"I have to say I'm surprised." The dark figure of a shadow moved towards you, but it didn't matter that you couldn't see him. You recognized the voice of your art Professor immediately. "You never seemed like the vandal type Miss Y/L/N."Â
You swallowed harshly but said as nonchalantly as possible, "And here I thought you'd see it as an expression of art."Â
"I'm sure you did." Professor Wilson stepped into a portion of the light coming in through the window and you caught a glance of his face. He didn't look angry, but it was hard to read his actual expression. You could've sworn he was actually smirking though, and that perhaps there was some sort of glint of planning in his eyes. But what did you really know in the dark?
"Yeah. So? What do you think? I was thinking of adding a bald eagle next." You kept speaking, taking a slow, hopefully nonchalant step towards the stairs. You wondered if it was possible to outrun him- although it didn't really matter since he knew who you were.Â
Suddenly, you could feel someone was behind you and you spun around, jerking a little as you came face to face with your. . . Archery Club Coach?Â
"Clint?" You asked without thought, surprised. You had joined Archery in your Freshman year as something to do, and had enjoyed it and stayed on.Â
"So this is the little trouble maker we were warned of?" Clint asked, raising an eyebrow. "I have to say, I'm surprised."Â
You scowled but said nothing, wondering how you were going to get out of this.Â
"I guess someone wanted to get into trouble." Mr. Wilson said from behind you, making the hair on your arms stand up. There was something about the way he said 'trouble' that made your stomach turn in a funny way.Â
"It'll wash off after a couple of days." You muttered. "It's not that damaging."Â
"You hope." Mr. Wilsons' voice was close, right behind you, making you tense. Your brain was telling you that you were caged between two men, both stronger than you, in a dark school, with the security cameras turned off, and no one around. You couldn't have put yourself in a worse position.Â
"Tell me, Y/N. What do you think your punishment should be?" Clint asked softly. There it was again. That way he said 'punishment'. . . the two of them seemed to be cluing you into something.Â
"None at all." You said, but it came out as a whisper as you looked between the two of them. Clints' expression was still open and friendly, but there was no mistaking the predatory glint in your art Professors' eyes.Â
"We could make that happen." Clint admitted. "Sam over here anyways." You felt a strange thrill swoop through you at your Professors first name. How friendly were they with each other?Â
"So I wouldn't be in trouble?" You asked cautiously.Â
"Well, you'd still be punished by the two of us. . ." Sam said and you nearly gasped as he took your face in his hand. It was warm against your cool cheek and it took all of your self control not to lean into his touch. "but it wouldn't be on any records."Â
Fuck you were so turned on. You were half-hoping they were talking about what you were thinking about. The other half of you was wary, not wanting to be that girl who fucked her Professor to get out of trouble or get good grades.Â
"And if I opted out?" You asked quietly.Â
"Well, Sams' not evil." Clint said casually. "We'd just have to report you to the school and let them take over from there. The way it would happen if you had been caught by anyone else."Â
You were silent for a moment while the two of them stood there, communicating with each other over your head. "Okay." You said quietly, finally letting yourself lean into Sams' hand. Immediately his thumb stroked against your cheek. On a fluffier level, your feeling of loneliness you hadn't even realized you had lifted some.Â
You hesitated for half a second as Clint stepped to the side. "Lead the way." He said to Sam.Â
Sam led the way up the stairs that Clint had originally come from and you followed, trying not to trip in the dark. Sam unlocked a room that you had never been in and you followed him in. He flicked the light switch on and you winced at the suddenness of the bright lights, covering your eyes for a second.Â
"Good idea. I wanted to see her cute face when we fucked her." You heard Clint say from behind you and your cheeks warmed.Â
You couldn't keep it in any longer, "P-Professor Wilson?"Â
He looked at you, amused, "Yes?"Â
You looked down at your feet then, unable to keep eye contact. "I'm um. . . this is- this would. . . be my first time so-"Â
"First time and you want it to be with your Professor." Sam said, amused still. He grabbed you in an almost tender way around the neck, forcing your chin up to look at him. "And here I thought you were such a good girl."Â
"Think we discovered that's not true when she defaced the wall down there." Clint chuckled. You tried not to stare as he'd already taken his shirt off, showing a wall of muscles, looking like Michelangelo's' David. He smirked as he caught you staring, sauntering over to you to take your chin from Sam. "See something you like Birdie?"Â
"Yes Sir." You said, slipping into your quieter, more submissive personality. The one that you usually wore at school so that people didn't really look at you. The killing of the Bald Eagles had really fired you up.Â
Clint groaned and looked up at Sam. "You know after years on the archery team she still calls me 'sir'? Gets me so fucking hard I have to go into the forest and shoot more than arrows."Â
You went red, thinking of all the times you guys had waited at the archery field, waiting for your 'Captain' to come out of the forest because he had lost arrows in there. Looks like those had just been excuses, but you would never have guessed what he had been doing in there.Â
"Well she always gets me hard during class with those skirts she wears." Sam drawled, removing his own clothes. He also looked like he had been sculpted by Michelangelo or Bernini. Absolute perfection really. Sam smirked at you. "It kills me when you uncross those legs of yours to let people get by you. I can see right up your skirt and see how wet you always are from staring at me."Â
At that, you gasped, cheeks flooding in embarrassment. You had always thought no one would notice, since no one could see. You had never made a single outward sign that you had a crush on your art Professor. But apparently he had noticed since day 1.Â
"You should start wearing skirts to archery." Clint moaned, slipping behind you to hold you to his chest. You could feel is hard on against the lower part of your back and you swallowed hard. Sam lifted your shirt over your head while Clint started to unbutton your shorts. "I thought it was bad enough when you bent over in these shorts. Can't even imagine what your ass looks like in a skirt."Â
Fuck fuck fuck. You were going to be soaking by the time they'd undressed you and you hadn't even started! No doubt they'd tease you endlessly over that.Â
You stepped out of your shorts without thought as Sam pulled them down. Clints hands landed on your bare hips, his fingers dipping between the elastic of your knickers and your skin. You shivered slightly, never having been touched like this.Â
As you'd predicted, Sam chuckled as he ran the pad of his thumb against your soaked cotton. "I'm pretty sure I could taste you through your clothing you're so wet."Â
You let out a pathetic whimper, wishing he'd stop teasing and just fuck you.Â
Sam smirked, "Go bend over the desk."Â
Clint released you and you walked over to the desk, putting your chin on your arms as you bent over the table.Â
"How many?" You heard Sam ask, to which Clint responded, "How about twenty? I like saving birds too, so I don't want to go that hard on her."Â
Twenty what? Twenty. . . spankings? How old did they think you were? Four?Â
"Twenty sounds good. Hmm honey?" Sam asked teasingly, but you didn't answer, more arousal pooling in your underclothes at the new nickname.Â
You heard it before you felt it, this smacking sound filling the air and then a stinging in your left ass cheek. "Oh." You gasped in surprise, not having expected that. Your pussy clenched at the same time, as though the spanking had been pleasurable instead of painful.Â
When Sam was done spanking you, you felt like your ass was numb and you'd never be able to sit down again. Clint chuckled at your helplessness, watching you shift back and forth on your feet while keeping your head resting on your arms.Â
"Here we go birdie." Clint said, picking you up slightly to stand you on your feet, taking vindictive pleasure in the way you winced slightly. Your ass was a gorgeous shade of red and Sam was proud as a peacock as you stood there, eyes slightly watery, but not crying.Â
Yet.Â
Sam unhooked your bra, letting the cloth drop off your arm as his hands came up to immediately cup your breasts. Clint meanwhile, took his sweet time in pulling your knickers down, biting his bottom lip as he watched strings of thick arousal clinging to the fabric. "Oh honey." You whimpered.Â
"Look at this sugar." Sam said, dipping his fingers into your pussy, before standing up. Your eyes nearly bugged out of your head as you watched Clint take his fingers into his mouth, sucking them like he'd never tasted anything better.Â
"She's just as sweet as I always thought." Clint said, lifting you up an inch so that Sam could pull the soaked underclothes off completely.Â
"I think I'll keep these." Sams' glinted as he tossed them over onto his own clothes. "Just a sweet little reminder until next time."Â
You didn't even get to question that before they were talking amongst themselves about what to do with you.Â
"First time should be in a bed." Clint suddenly said and your eyes snapped to his.
Sam nodded. "Agreed. We'll take her back to our place."Â
"'Our'?" You questioned out loud before you could stop yourself before frowning and tilting your head a little, "Oh, you're roommates?"Â
Clint snickered. "History will say they're roommates. . ."Â
Sam rolled his eyes, before picking you up in his arms, tossing you over his shoulder. "You're real naive honey. Don't worry, we'll fix that."Â
You couldn't really see where you were going, but you were more concerned with the fact that you were completely naked and being carried through public. You squirmed on Sams' shoulder, wishing you could look around.Â
"Don't worry birdie." Clint said from somewhere behind you. "We're not going to let anyone else see you like this."Â
"Nobody else is out anyways." Sam said and you were jolted as he went up a set of steps. "Besides, we're here now."Â
You were maneuvered into his arms now and you wrapped an arm around his neck out of instinct, while Sam walked down the hallway, shouldering a door open to reveal a well lived in bedroom. Meanwhile your head was still turning from this turn of events. It was only now you realized they'd walked part of the way across campus half-naked as well.Â
"Give her here." Clint demanded and you were handed over to him. His lips crashed against yours as you felt the comforter under your bare back. "Sams more of a voyeur." Clint mumbled against your lips. "So he definitely wants to watch you as your taken for the first time."Â
You flushed, flicking your eyes over to Sam who smirked, running his hands around your mounds, squeezing them slightly. "Don't worry honey. I'll still play with you a bit. After Clint has broken you in a bit."Â
"I think she's wet enough I don't even have to warm her up." Clint said gleefully. "How about it birdie?"Â
You weren't sure what warming up would entail so you softly said, "Sure." You paused for a beat and then added, "Sir."Â
"Atta girl." Clint grinned, shucking his pants and boxers off. You tried not to audibly swallow as you saw how big and thick he was. Probably a good six inches and as thick as. . .well you weren't quite sure. But it certainly didn't look how it did in the anatomy textbooks. You really probably should've explored PornHub.Â
Your Professor settled into a chair near the bed and you turned your attention to your Coach as he climbed over you, moving your legs apart gently with his own knees. You instinctively wrapped them around his waist loosely.Â
You couldn't help but notice his scent first as it wafted over you. He smelled like the woods and sweat from hard work and pine. You turned your head, kissing the side of his jaw and he hummed, his smirk turning into something softer.Â
"Let me know if you start to hurt." Clint said softly, before you felt him stretching out your entrance, pushing inside. He went slow while you laid back, your mind astounded at the strange, foreign feeling. Yes, it hurt. There was definitely a stretching pain as he slowly filled you up. But the pleasure! It was mind-blowing, how good it felt.Â
"Oh." You moaned, your mouth falling open, your eyebrows pinched.Â
Sam moaned lowly then, taking his cock in his hand as he saw your face drop into a perfect image of ecstasy. If he could've taken a picture. . . He squeezed himself tightly as he jumped in his own hand at the thought. The things he could've taught his students about Baroque art with that single image. Fleeting moments held for only a second. . .Â
"How you feelin' Birdie?" Clint asked softly, almost against your lips. He was fully seated inside and you were pulsing around him harshly, trying to get used to his size.Â
"G-Good, I think, Sir." You said quietly, looking up at him. Clint glanced briefly over at Sam whose attention was solely on the girl in front of them. Clint grinned, mostly to himself, before he started to move.Â
You swore you saw stars. In a good way, of course. But dots seemed to dance across your vision as Clint moved inside of you. Every thrust ended up with him hitting something deep inside of you that sent tingles of pleasure all across your body. If you could describe it, you'd use words like 'electrical' or 'white noise'. It was so strange, so amazing, you couldn't describe it at all.Â
Sam watched all of these emotions play across your face, his hand working himself even harder with each one. You were so gorgeous, so responsive, so emotional. Him and Clint had had an eye on you forever, even before you'd taken Sams' art class. The perfect girl for the two of them and now you were finally theirs.Â
Clint could feel you squeezing him, your wetness increasing and the pleasure in your eyes increased and he knew you'd cum for the first time in your life. He smirked, lowering his lips to your skin, kissing sweetly where he could, before biting gently into your soft flesh, low enough so you could cover it. But you'd always know you were theirs now.Â
You were embarrassed with how quickly you'd reached your peak, but before you could worry that it was all over, you could feel that lovely crescendo building up again. "Sir." You whimpered, your body craving approval for some reason. Like you needed Clint to tell you that you could cum before you did.Â
"Yes birdie?" He asked, his nose nudging under your chin. He could feel you gripping his arms, could feel you spasming around him, and knew you were close again. "You want something?"Â
"Yes Sir." You said, arching your back slightly which Clint took advantage of to wrap an arm under you, pulling you up into his lap in a stead position. Both him and Sam watched your eyes widen as you took even more of him into you from this new pose.Â
Sam finally spurted through his fingers at that one look, most of the drops landing on his hand or the cloth he had underneath him. He got up, grabbing your chin in a gentle, but still dominating way, your lips falling apart and he shoved his fingers in your mouth for you to clean, watching your hazy eyes as they filled with new emotion at the taste.Â
"Go ahead and cum for me birdie, that's a good girl." Clint said, picking up on your praise kink before you had, making sure to give you exactly what you were craving. "I'm gonna cum too."Â
"Paint her, Clint." Sam said, making Clint give him a displeased look. Sam was the one with the artistic kink. Clint had a breeding kink. Sam gave Clint a warning look you didn't see. "She's not on birth control."Â
Sam. . . That was the wrong thing to say to a guy with a breeding kink.Â
"Oh fuck." Clint cursed, squeezing his eyes closed, his hands gripping your hips tightly. He spilled into you while you were having your second orgasm. Clint barely caught himself on the bed to keep himself from crushing you, catching his breath as well.Â
It took you a moment to realize what had just happened and you looked over at Sam, who was still standing by the bed. Your pleasure high was still affecting you though and all you could do was smile up at him, which was so adorable Sam couldn't help but smile back, before leaning down and kissing you sweetly.Â
"You're so pretty." Sam complimented you.Â
Clint pulled out slowly, giving both of you a sheepish look. "Sorry."Â
"'S'kay." You mumbled to which Sam sighed.Â
"You'll have to apologize again when she's not cock drunk." Sam teased Clint, climbing onto the bed with you.Â
"Am not." You pouted, snuggling into Sams' arms, feeling like that's where you ought to have belonged this entire time.Â
"You sure about that honey?" Sam asked.Â
"Yes Professor." You said in a sultry voice, looking up at him under your eyelashes. And fuck if it wasn't a pretty sight.Â
Sam groaned lightly. "Another night honey. Can't ruin you completely just yet."Â
After a moment you asked, "What am I going to tell people?"Â
And Clint propped himself up on his elbow with a grin and said, "It's a honeymoon baby!"Â

as far as jack could tell, jervis was really out of it; and it made him wonder it was due to something that had happened while he was out with his father, or when they'd gotten here. perhaps both. jack gnawed on his bottom lip, his eyes darting to jervis's hands, which were flexing like he was struggling with something. an eyebrow rose as jack contemplated asking whether he needed some pain medication.
since he didn't receive an answer to his question yet, jack figured he might as well introduce himself. â uhh, well, you don't have to talk to me if you aren't feeling up to it. my sister told me that you fainted in front of her out there â so, i understand if you're still feeling sick. my name is jack, â he scratched at the back of his neck as he continued to observe jervis. whenever the man tried to get up, jack approached him and was about to caution jervis that maybe he shouldn't by lightly touching his shoulder.
but he remembered matilda telling him something about the other really not liking to be touched, so he merely was going to verbally tell him. up until jervis laid back down himself, anyhow. jack couldn't hold himself back from frowning at his poor present state before venturing out of the room with a 'i'll be right back.' and indeed he had been, with two different vials, alongside a few syringes to inject into that IV bag: should jervis want to be medicated. jack figured it'd be easier to just do that rather than forcing him to swallow anything.
he placed those also on the table before tilting his head at the quote jervis had said until it clicked a few seconds later, â that's a quote from through the looking glass, isn't it? and one that the red queen said in the story if i remember correctly. she was basically teaching alice that staying in the same place is falling behind, right? â jack squinted his eyes at that before a thought came to mind. a soft snort left him, but one that was done of an innocent sort of amusement rather than malice. â that is a kind of roundabout way of talking about survival of the fittest. but hey, lewis carroll was all about the whimsy of things, i guess. and its no big deal. â
jack pretended not to see the tears that the other shed for jervis's own sake. the blood on his lips was something he couldn't ignore, no matter how hard he tried, though. jack grabbed a washcloth from his pack and held it out towards's jervis's hand. once it was out of his hand was when jack set down that teacup, the slightly too long stripped pants he wore swaying across the ground. â mm, you and dad were both asleep for nearly four hours. sure â i don't think that's silly at all. i keep something on me all the time from when my brother, julien, was still around. â the bracelet he showed the other on his right wrist then seemed to be made up entirely of tiny conch shells.
julien was a big fan of the sea, which jack thought made his death all the more crushing. after seeing the state that the stuffed animal was in, he figured that that bunny must've been really loved; though it didn't really matter by whom it was. the end result was the same, as love changes you. jack knew this well as he'd never wanted anything more than to be embraced by the warmth of it.
he quickly shook that thought off, only to grab the two vials he got from the fridge once more. â eh... the four hours actually went by rather fast. â jack cleared his throat then, â you know, i couldn't help but notice that you aren't looking so hot still, and so i grabbed some meds for you. but i won't force you to take them. i have a pain reliever as well as something that relieves vertigo. are either, or both of these, something you want? â
Eigengrau.
A faint hum buzzed in his ears; his mouth was so dry it felt like heâd swallowed a wad of wool.
The thin sheet beneath him brushed his fingertips as Jervis flexed his hands, cracking his eyes open a sliver. The room tilted, everything blurring at the edges. Ah⊠so he had fainted. Just as heâd suspected. No glasses, then.
"Hey. Ahh, you're awake⊠That's awesome. How are you feeling?"
The new voice was barely a whisper, young and uncertainâbelonging to a boy, maybe sixteen or eighteen by the timber. Was this another of Barton's assistants, a friend of Matildaâs, or perhaps her brother? Jervis couldnât quite remember; hadn't Barton mentioned something about having more than one child?
He winced, his body feeling heavy, leaden; aching everywhere. Slowly, he exhaled and tried to push himself uprightâtried being the keyword. The effort brought only a wave of vertigo, dizzying and blue-hot, making his vision swim.
⊠ohh, godâŠ
He swallowed thickly, curling into himself. Something wasnât right. His glasses and gloves werenât the only thing missing. He was in his socks, jeans, and a now damp charcoal t-shirt, his body slick with cold sweat. His graying auburn curls clung to his neck in tangled ropes. His boots were beside the cot, his messenger bag on a desk across the room. His overcoat and maroon button-down were draped over a chair.
A flicker of discomfort in his right arm. Burning. Tugging.
Jervis glanced down at the source: a plastic tube. A peripheral IV catheter.
"Ah, you know... 'It takes all the running you can do, to stay in the same place,'" he muttered, his voice clipped and hollow; Bermudian accent casual, almost detached. He turned his eyes to the boy; offered him a faint, strained smile. "Keeps things interesting, I suppose... but I appreciate your concern, lad."
He lifted his fingers to his cheek, feeling the moisture trickle downâsalt on his lips. Tears, sharp and stinging. Jervis flinched and quickly scrubbed them away with the heels of his hands.
Cold metal pressed into his spine, tight around his neckâthe chain with his and Sylvieâs wedding rings twisted against his skin. He mustâve been thrashing in his sleep. There was blood on his lips.
"Forgive meâŠ" His vision swam as he watched the boy set a teacup on the small table beside the cot, just within view. "But I'm afraid I've rather lost my sense of time. How long has it been since IâŠ?" He paused, his voice barely steady. "... if... if you donât mind, could you please reach into my coat pocket? You'll find a small cuddly toy. A rabbit..." He rubbed his mouth, lowered his eyes. "It sounds foolish, I know... but it... it was my daughter's, you see..."
The boy nodded, moving quickly to retrieve the toy from Jervisâ coat pocket, and placed it on the table beside the teacup. The bunny was missing one of its button eyes, its white fur faded and matted. A pink satin ribbon around its neck was frayed and tattered.
âThank you,â Jervis said hoarsely. âI must have been out of it for quite a while.â
#divingdownthehole#tw: mentions of child death.#tw: medication.#tw: illness.#ooh okay okay đ that song was also a really good listen while reading your reply! like GAH you are just so good at selecting songs-#that capture the vibes of your replies perfectly tbhhh. BUT hiii!! and aww well i was just telling you the truth about how i felt but#its no problem at all emi!!! and OMG really? honestly i didn't get that impression at all as i thought your reply perfectly described-#just how complex the effects of trauma on a person can be as characters are a reflection of real life people so it only makes sense-#that jervis's mind is just... so chocked full of images related to the things he's been through despite him not wanting to be reliving#these events or seeing them anymore you know? and i honestly can't blame him for seemingly not wanting to do either of those things as#recovery + healing isn't really ever a straight path as you pointed out there. thus i didn't think any of it was overdramaticized or#anything of that nature! so don't worry you're totally good with that!! but yeah jervis as a character has really been dealt a bad hand#in my opinion and that's really unfortunate because no one deserves having to lose their parents or lose their daughter ):#and jervis is at a spot in his timeline where he has still lost alice relatively recently right? so that's just. UGH i feel so bad for him#tbh as having to experiencing one of your kids dying sounds really terrible.#but AWW well thank you so much for saying so!! it makes me so happy to hear that you're always excited for them. but yeahhh-#trust me when i say their madness may be even worse when they're just amongst themselves unfortunately enough ahahhh... đ« #but i'm so honored? that you were intrigued?? by my description of him??? like AHHH i'm giving you the biggest hug RN and i just-#want to say TYSM once more!!! but yes i'm not going to lie because jack + julien were basically like brothers before barton-#even came along jack was very attached to him and julien didn't like killing people either so he was sort of a good influence on him#which might be part of the reason why he is the way he is now TBH but sadly dysfunctional family dynamics often leave people#suffering in their own way from it as you said. but AHH thank you!! you're so sweet PLSSS like i'm glad that you find him interesting-#BC he is a good person at heart unlike barton but they contrast in a different way than say jervis and him would since he tries-#to live his life down the straight and narrow buttt that doesn't always happen for him. and yesss barton is back to bother everyone / hj#LOLLL but gosh you're right!! i think i remember you mentioning it back then :00 but yeah i did some casual research on on it when you-#mentioned the quote in your reply and i thought that the red queen hypothesis had something to do with darwin's survival of the fittest-#idea + it turns out that i was right so i am somewhat proud of myself for that NGL lmao but TBH that is just another example of you-#using such good character writing with jervis because subtext and nuance is like one of those things that i find hard to write sometimes#but what a character doesn't say is also just as important AS what they say so its interesting that you'd bring that up. but huh i never-#actually thought of it that way before but that does definitely seem to check out if i'm being honest.

Look After You
could you do a peter parker hurt/comfort fic where he hides an injury? i really liked family web and iâve been missing your peter parker fics. no worries if itâs a no <3 â anon
Read on Ao3
Warnings: passing out from blood loss, hiding an injury
Pairings: gen
Word Count: 3470
"Spider-Man? Status."
Peter grits his teeth and puts a hand to his comm. He doesn't have toâKaren would transmit whatever he said anyway, but the movement does momentarily distract him from the gaping hole in his side, so he's got that going for him.
"I'm okay. I'm, uh, I'm at the corner of the collapsed building. Is everything okay?"
"We're still clearing away the stragglers. Can you keep lookout from there?"
"Uhâ" he glances around. There's a toppled semi that would give him a high enough vantage point without straining his injury too much. "I think so. How, uh, how many are left?"
"Only a few. Stay sharp, kid."
"Aye aye, Captain." He hears a snort of laughter from Mr. Stark and a less-subtle dig at the fossil from Ms. Romanoff as he clambers shakily to the top of the wrecked shipping container. For better or for worse, the impact from one of the projectiles warped the metal so that there's almost a curve for him to lean against. The good news is the sharp part is not where he could sit and rest.
The bad news is that it faces the opposite way of where he's supposed to keep watch.
"Spider-Man? Anything?"
"Uhânegative, negative, Falcon, I don'tâI don't see any of them."
"You sound winded. Everything okay?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, justâ" he hisses through his teeth as a bit of shrapnel digs itself further into his sideâ "tired out."
"You should go on more runs with Steve, that'll get your endurance up," comes Sergeant Barnes's voice along with a screech of metal.
"You say like you don't run laps around him on purpose sometimes."
"He's actually pretty decent when it comes to pace matching," Ms. Romanoff says, and there's the distant sound of her firing at something, "unlike someone."
"I resent that implication." Mr. Barton muffles a grunt. "Just because I don't do all the aerial silk stuff with you anymoreâ"
"I'm sorry, back up: Barton did aerial silks? And this is the first time I'm finding out about this?"
"What can I say, Tony, you can take the kid out of the circusâŠ"
"And I thought we shared things with each other." There's the telltale whine of the repulsor. "You taught the kid any of your tricks?"
"You think I can teach that kid anything he won't figure out on his own?" The whizz of arrows. They're all fighting. They're all doing things. They're all being useful. Peter's just sitting here. By himself. Not even doing the one thing he's supposed to be. "I'd be surprised if I came down and he already knew exactly what to do."
"We should put that to the test, huh, Baby Spider?"
Baby Spider. That's him. He should respond to that. Moving is hard. Why was he trying to move?
The world starts to get fuzzy. His eyes are closingâno, the world's just getting darker. And thinner. And flatter. And his head hurts. Why does his head hurt? He didn't get hit in the head. There's something wet on his side. And his hand. And the chair. Why is the chair so bumpy? He doesn't like bumpy chairs. He should've sat on a nicer chair. Maybe he should go do that. It's better to sit on a nice not-bumpy chair that isn't wet than a bumpy wet chair.
He blinks again. He's really blinking slowly. He could've sworn the world was upright a second ago. What happened to the flat black thing that was erasing his view? Maybe that was something from his suit. Mr. Stark did say he put a lot of stuff into it, so maybe it was something he just hadn't discovered yet. It wasn't like he could go into it now, he wasâŠhe wasâŠwhat was he doing?
Chair. Right. He'd been sitting on a bumpy wet chair. He didn't like sitting on wet things. That just made his skin feel all itchy. Itchy and prickly and not fun. His whole side feels wet now, did he lie down on the wet chair? But that doesn't make sense. If he lay down on the wet thing, then the side under him should be wet, not the side facing up. But the side facing up feels wet. So does his arm. So does his hand. His mouth feels like it's filling with something. Is he drinking? He's wearing a mask.
He coughs. Something metallic splatters over the inside of his mask. His breathing feels thick. There's something stuck in his teeth. There's something in his mouth still. He tries to breathe. It's hard. It tastes wrong. Breathing shouldn't taste like anything, it should just be breathing. But breathing tastes bad. That's bad. He should say something. He's supposed to tell them when he thinks something's wrong.
But they're busy right now. They're fighting.
What're they fighting?
What's he supposed to do now?
Why is moving hard?
There's something crackling in his ear. He tries to reach up and paw at it. Something makes it really, really hard to move his arm. So he doesn't. He turns his head slightly like that'll make the thing crackle louder. He blinks. Was he blinking? Were his eyes closed? It's dark. It's really dark. Maybe it's night time. Maybe this is all a bad dream. Is it bad? What makes it bad? He's in pain, but that's not new. Maybe this dream is just about being in pain. He's had those before. They aren't any fun. Sometimes he gets them when he's just in the tower, because then when he's there it feels weird.
He knows it's not supposed to feel weird. He's supposed to talk to them when he feels weird, not have them be the cause of him feeling weird. But the nightmaresâbad dreams, dreams, the things he has when he's not in his head properly, they all tell him that they don't have anything to worry about because he's Peter, and he's supposed to be fine, and so he doesn't tell them when he feels weird because that's not helpful.
HelpfulâŠhelpfulâŠhe was supposed to do something. He's supposed to be doing something right now.
What was it again?
There are teeth in his throat and a claw piercing his ribs by the time he manages to scrape together enough brain cells to manage the word lookout.

"No, you got my Baby Spider hurt, you go away."
"He was my Baby Spider first, now let meâ"
"No! You've done all the necessary things to make sure he's not dying, he has been transferred to the bed to sleep and heal, which means that it's time for me to tell you off for not taking care of our Baby Spider."
"Exactly, our Baby Spider! Let me see him, he's gonna wake up all confusedâ"
"And I will tell him what's going on. Now shoo. You know the rules, out, out, out!"
"âŠyou'll tell me if anything'sâ"
"If anything is wrong, yes, yes, of course I will, now get out."
Peter's swimming through a haze of voices. There's something cottony in his mouth. Everything hurts. Does it hurt? It hurts but like it's on the other side of a glass wall, like he can see the hurt and feel the glass moving from the impact of it but it's just not quite getting to him.
"Hey, hey, Baby Spider, shh, it's alright. You're safe now, do not worry, Aunt Spider is right here."
The soft rolling words flood his ears just as the pain shatters through the glass. A high-pitched whine reaches his ears and he only realizes it's him when the voice shushes him again with all the tenderness to make him cry.
"Shh, shh, Baby Spider, you're okay. Don't cry, don't cryâthey have you on the good pain medication for a reason, you're going to be alright. And if you're not, I'll go out there and kick all of their asses for letting you get hurt so badly."
Something soft and warm touches his head. It moves over his cheek again and again, before something else touches his forehead. It feels softer andâŠwetter? That's bad. He doesn't like wet things. Wet things are bad right now.
"Open your eyes, Baby Spider, come on, look at me."
Oh. That's why it's so dark. His eyes are closed. He blinks and immediately whimpers in pain. It's too bright. Bright is bad. He wants to go back.
"Shitâokay, there, lights are off now, come on, that's it, look at me, Baby Spider. Let me see you."
Peter cracks his eyes open, blinking muzzily up at the blur in front of him. After a few seconds the blur wobbles and something wet drips down the side of his face. He doesn't like that, but he does like the soft thing that brushes his cheek afterwards.
"There you are," the soft voice says again as a face begins to emerge out of the blurry darkness, "there's my Baby Spider. You scared everyone pretty badly."
"Y-Yelena?"
Yelena pouts. "Not Aunt Spider?"
"Aunt Spider?" His voice cracks and suddenly he's a baby again, crying when he wakes up from a nightmare and he doesn't know what to do except hide away forever. "A-aunt Spider, I'mâI don'tâ"
"Shh, shh, it's okay." She pets his cheeks and hair, leaning closer so he can see her better. "It's okay, Baby Spider, you're going to be okay. Are you scared, is that it?"
"What'sâwhat happened?"
Yelena's expression darkens. "You were out on a mission. There were these gross little crawly things that got loose from some lab and they were attacking people. You got hurt by one of them when a building collapsed and then didn't tell anyone."
The wetnessâŠthe bloodâŠhe must've bled out on top of the truck. Bits and pieces come back to him; the scrabbling yelps and gross weird not-flesh leaving chunks of viscera on the sidewalk.
"One of them got to you. It messed you up pretty badly. For a while, we weren't sure if you were going to make it." She places her hand very gently on the side that hurts a little less, the sensation dulled even further through the thick swaddle of bandages. "You got hurt really bad, Baby Spider."
"I'm sorry."
"No, no, no, you don't apologize for being hurt, that's not your fault. You apologize for not telling people that you're hurt so they can look after you."
He doesn't have the blood to spare for shame to rush to his face, but he feels it burn all the same. He's never been very good at getting scolded, not even when he's at his best. In some ways, he's happy it's happening now, when he's already in pain and crying in a hospital bedâcan he count on looking pathetic and regretful enough to escape the worst of it?
Probably not. It's only Yelena here. He's going to get dressed down by everybody else later, they're most likely waiting until he's not in the bed as a favor to him but really he just wants them to get it over with now. Lick his wounds all at the same time, and all that.
"âby Spider, Baby Spider, shh, shh, hey, stay with me, look at me, come on."
"S-sorry," he wheezes out, "'m sorry, I know I did it wrong, I canâ"
"Hey. Hey. None of that, you don't do that right now." The hands hold his face firmly. "You look at me, okay? That's all you do right now, you look at me."
"Yelena? I meanâAunt Spider?"
"Yes, that's right. I'm right here, okay? I'm not leaving." Thumbs move across his cheeksâhis wet cheeksâhe's still crying, that's not good. "Shh, hey, it's okay. We'll worry about all that later, hm? Right now you justâ"
"No!"
Yelena stops and blinks. Confusion flickers across her face. "'No' what?"
"Weâwe can do it now," he manages, "I knowâI know I messed up, you can tell me it now, I canâI can take it, it's better that wayâ"
"I'm not going to yell at you while you're in a hospital bed, Peterâ" Peter, not Baby Spider, he's making this worseâ "you need to rest."
"No, 'm good, I'm good." He bites his lip hard and tries to take a deep breath, raising his chin. "I messed up, I'm sorry."
Something complicated works its way into Yelena's expression. The hands on his face don't soften, but the next pass of her thumb is less practical, more affectionate. "What's going on, Baby Spider? You look so scared. I'm not going to hurt you."
"No, I know, I know that."
"Then why do you look like I'm about to?"
He swallows heavily. His mouth still tastes like blood. "I-I just meant that it makes sense thatâwell, I'm awake now, so we canâsoâŠ"
She looks at him expectantly when he doesn't finish. He swallows again.
"I don't want to inconvenience everybody else," he decides on finally, "so if they're waiting to talk to me, then they canâŠthey can do it now and then they don't have to worry about it anymore."
"And what is it that you think they'll say?"
"âŠyou know, what I did wrong and what not to do next time."
"And once they've told you this, they'll leave you alone?"
"Y-yeah? I mean, I think so."
"Andâwhat? Just let you be in pain by yourself?"
He frowns. "What?"
"You are severely injured, emotionally unstable, and quite possibly the most vulnerable I've ever seen you, and you think this is the right time to be, what, reprimanded and left alone?"
This is a trap, his body screams, this is a trap, this is a trap, this is a trap.
He doesn't say anything. Yelena looks at him hard for another few moments before she's pulling away. He bites his lip to stifle a whimper at the loss of contact and choke down the wave of dread that courses through him. She's probably going to get the others. This is good.
This is good, he tries to convince himself, get it over with now, heal all at the same time without the dread of it coming later, this is good, this isâ
He's so scared. He's really scared and he's going to cry and that's not going to make it any better because he has to at least seem like he's worthy of being here.
"Drink."
âwhat?
"Drink," Yelena repeats, holding a straw to his mouth, "you need water."
He opens trembling lips and lets her feed the straw into his mouth. The few sips of water he's able to take rinse the worst of the blood from his tongue. She doesn't look at him as she watches the level of fluid in the cup go down, pulling away when he's had almost half. It comes to rest on the side table with a clunk. She folds her hands in her lap and stares at him.
"I do not abandon people to suffer in silence. I will not leave you to endure your pain on your own," she says firmly, "that is not the kind of person I want to be anymore."
"âŠokay?"
"You think they will be angry at you? You think they will yell at you?" He nods. "Then I will sit here with you while it happens, and afterwards, when you are still hurting, I will be here with you."
"Aunt Spiderâ"
"If it makes any difference, I don't think they're going to yell at you, but if you are scared of it, then I will stay with you." She puts her hand over his. "You want them to come and do it now, right, so that you won't worry about it happening later?"
"Yeah."
"Okay. I will let them know they can come see you." She reaches for her phone and types something. A moment later, she puts it away again. "They are on their way."
"Thank you."
"Mm."
The dread billows and pulses in his chest and throat. He still doesn't have blood to spare for his face, but he can gnaw on his tongue. There are footsteps and shadows outside. He suddenly squeezes Yelena's hand hard and she squeezes back.
The door opensâ
"Oh, Peterâ"
"Shit, kidâ"
"Peteâ"
"All of you move, that's my Baby Spider." Ms. Romanoff shoves her way to the front of the group and glares at Yelena, before her face softens and she's reaching out to cup his face. "Hey, Baby Spider, you doing okay?"
He manages a nod, still holding the dread in his mouth like a frog.
"You need more painkillers?" He shakes his head. She taps him lightly under the chin. "What's this face for, then?"
His eyes look to Mr. Stark, who immediately turns to the nearby screen and starts scanning it. "Readouts look good, vitals are stable. You're due for another round of meds inâŠabout fifteen minutes."
He looks over the edge of his glasses at Peter.
"You need more now."
"N-no, Mr. Stark."
"Mr. Stark," he huffs, looking away, "you're killing me here, kid."
"Wh-what was I supposed to say?"
"Peter," Captain Rogers says with his voice all soft and low from the foot of the bed, and when he turns to look he sees that really gentle expression he sees aimed at Mr. Stark when he's not sleeping or Sergeant Barnes when they're talking about something, "we're worried about you."
"I'm sorry, CapâCaptain."
Captain Rogers comes closer, stepping around Yelenaâhe squeezes her hand again and she squeezes backâand sitting near his head. He reaches out and brushes some hair back from his face. "What's going on in your head right now?"
"IâIâ"
Out of desperation, he makes eye contact with Yelena. She sighs. "He believes you are all angry with him and would prefer if he were to be reprimanded now, so that when you leave he can be in pain by himself and heal from it without having to worry about more pain later."
âŠmore explicit than he would've gone with, but true.
"Oh, kid," he hears Captain Rogers murmurâand that can't be right, but there are still fingers carding gently through his hair, "we were never going to yell at you. We're not mad at you, sweetheart, we were scared, that's all. You got hurt on our watch, Peter, that's what we're worried aboutâwe just want to make sure you're okay."
"Barton and Barnes didn't come up 'cause they didn't want to see you so hurt," Mr. Stark says, "'cause they're still pissed at themselves for letting it happen. Wilson's off with Aunt May getting your stuff so you can stay here for the next few weeks."
"B-butâ"
He cuts himself off with a truly pitiful sound when Ms. Romanoff leans in and kisses his forehead. He distantly registers the sound of winces and muffled curses but he's too busy not being able to think.
"I will never be mad at you for being scared, Baby Spider," she whispers, "and I won't leave you in pain. You're my Baby Spider, Peter."
"You're notâyou're not mad?"
"No, Peter."
"You won't yell at me?"
"We won't yell at you," Captain Rogers murmurs, ruffling his hair, "you're safe, sweetheart."
"And we're not just gonna let you be in pain." Mr. Stark presses a button and Peter's body sags in relief as something floods his system. "We don't leave people behind."
"See, Baby Spider?" Yelena squeezes his hand again. "You're not going to be abandoned to pain here. If you're hurt, you tell us, and then we take care of you."
"That's right."
âŠwell, now he feels like an idiot for assuming and making them feel bad that he assumed. And now he's definitely going to start crying because he doesn't know what to do now and crying sounds like a good idea.
"Shh," he hears a gentle voice murmur as a warm hand rests lightly on his injured stomach, "shh, sweetheart, it's okay, let it out."
"Move over, sit down. There, that's better. We're not leaving, kid, you're gonna be okay. FRIDAY, can youâ?"
"Already on it, boss."
Another kissâat least he thinks that's what it is. "Shh, Baby Spider, we're right here. You're safe."
Everything hurts. Everything hurts and that'sâŠthat's okay. Because there's a warm hand in his hair and a gentle voice in his ear. There's a kiss on his forehead and a whisper against his temple. There's a shadow on the bed and a watchful eye on the machines keeping him stable. There's a hand in his and a promise filling the room.
You will not be abandoned to pain. We will take care of you.

Thawing the Widow (A Natasha Romanoff Story): Chapter 4 - Friendly Conversation
Chapter Summary: Cat's left alone with this Natasha lady, who's kind of scary but not that much anymore. Awkward conversations commence
Chapter Warnings: Hints of child abuse (not explicitly described)
Notes: Again, incredibly sorry for not updating in like a year. Iâll try to be more consistent. Please reblog/like/comment if youâre enjoying it! Also, you do not have permission to repost this anywhere.
Thawing the Widow Masterlist
.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.
To Catâs surprise, Natasha had readily agreed to let her free from the chair.
âMake sure you stay still,â sheâd said.
Probably because the woman was no longer threatening her at gunpoint, she was a lot less threatening. Her demeanor had done a complete one-eighty. Previously, sheâd been terrifying and angry, like she had caught Cat doing something she wasnât supposed to. Now, she was still distant and businesslike, but not an immediate threat to Catâs life. In fact, she was almost pleasant, as if she hadnât just been training a gun at her head a few minutes ago.
Now that she had time to study her, Cat realized that the woman was much less physically threatening than sheâd originally thought. She was compact and muscular, like a fighter, and shorter than Trevor, but Cat would bet that this woman could take Catâs uncle out in a heartbeat if she wanted to. She moved with a deadly gracefulnessâ somehow, her feet didnât make a single sound against the wooden plantsâ and with such confidence that it added a few inches to her height.
Cat had come to the conclusion that Natasha wasnât going to kill herâ if that was her plan, she wouldâve done it already. Cat still regarded her with a little bit of unease, but since she could be certain that the woman wasnât randomly going to stab her with one of her very sharp knives, she felt much better about the whole situation.
Cat guessed that she and the Arrow Manâ Bartonâ were definitely spies. Theyâd mentioned a âmission,â and they were dressed in black leather, which was definitely suspicious. It was sort of surreal and exciting, to be caught up in some sort of movie-like scene. But what had Natasha meant by âget rid of herâ? Cat still had to figure that out, and also how to get out of this place as soon as possible.
âSo,â Natasha said, as she sliced one of the ropes that bound Catâs legs to the chair with her knife, âyou speak Russian.â
âYeah, so?â Cat asked defensively. âDoesnât mean Iâm some sort of terrorist.â
âI donât think youâre a terrorist.â
âReally? Because it kinda seemed like it five minutes ago.â
âWeâve moved past that.â Natasha shrugged. âI just think itâs interesting.â
âWhy?â
âMost kindergarteners donât speak Russian.â
Natashaâs eyes flickered up, just in time to catch Cat rolling her eyes. She wasnât bothering to dignify that with a response. Sheâd given up on correcting her, even though it shouldâve been blatantly obvious that she was much older than some puny kindergartener. She was nearly ten flipping years old, for godâs sake.
âHowâd you learn?â
âWhy do you wanna know?â Cat asked suspiciously.
âJust making conversation.â Her gaze sharpened, turned more calculating than curious. âDid your parents speak Russian?â
At the mention of her parents, Catâs guard went up. Her knee involuntarily jerked up, just as Natasha was reaching up with the knife to free her from the wrist restraints. It happened so suddenly, the woman only had just enough time to pull back her arm so that the knife only grazed her knee. It was a shallow cut, but it still stung. Cat was unprepared for how sharp it was. She had to bite her lip hard to suppress the cry of sudden pain.
Natasha frowned up at her. âDidnât I tell you to stay still? Iâm holding a knife.â
Cat was startled by her tone of voice. She knew it was ridiculous, but for a moment it had sounded almost like a mother, scolding a child. Itâd been so long since she heard that tone used against her. It made her feel so uncomfortable and squirmy that she didnât know how to react.
âSorry,â she muttered.
âWeâre going to have to put disinfectant on that.â In one smooth motion, the knife sliced away the bonds that held Catâs wrists together. They were sore. Cat moved them around a little, sighing in relief, immediately jumping up and flopping down onto the sofa instead.
âThank god. I hate that stupid chair.â
Taco, who had been waiting by the floor, immediately jumped into her lap. He licked her hand excitedly, barking. Cat held back a smile. He had been spectacularly unhelpful throughout the entire interrogation, but now he decided that he actually cared about her? He had completely ignored the fact that Cat was in obvious need of rescueâ not that he could do much to help her, but an attempt wouldâve been nice. She was sort of mad at him, but knew she wouldnât be able to stay that way as long as his adorable face stayed that way.
Natasha straightened from where she was crouching and reached towards Cat. There was something in her hand, flashing in the light like metal. Like a knife. Lightning fast, Cat flinched back, her fists raising in front of her face, preparing to ward off an attack.
âHey, relax,â Natasha said, holding up a faint yellow bottle. It glimmered in the light again. It was labeled DISINFECTANT. âJust trying to help you not get infected and die.â
Cat relaxed a fraction, her fists lowering. âOh. Okay.â
Natashaâs gaze raked her up and down. âJumpy, arenât you?â
Cat scowled at her in the most unladylike way possible. âI most certainly am not . Iâm just ADHD. Like, I get hyper and super energetic. You know.â
âOkay.â Natasha managed to sound both skeptical and uninterested.
âAnd my parents didnât speak Russian,â Cat rushed on, eager to change the subject. âIâm just a genius, thatâs all.â
Self-appointed genius, but she didnât need to know that.
Natasha tore open the hole in Catâs leggings a little more to expose the cut. The fabric ripped with startling ease, being so worn and old. The cut didnât hurtâ Cat knew she had a high pain thresholdâ but she was surprised by how much blood such a small cut could produce. Perhaps she wasnât a very good clotter.
Natasha dabbed the red away with a white cloth. Cat noticed that sometime during their conversation, sheâd pulled out a first aid kit. âA genius, huh?â
âYep. I can memorize loads of things. Books, maps, the periodic table. My third grade teacherââ Cat threw Natasha a significant glance, as to remind her that she was, in fact, older than a kindergartener. ââ didnât believe me when I told her I could remember it off the top of my head, but I showed thatâ ow!â She hadnât been able to hold back her hiss of pain.
As Cat was speaking, Natasha had smeared the disinfectant over the cut on Catâs knee. It stung like crazy. Cat swore a little, not too much, and she nearly saw Natashaâs lips twitch at the corners. Cat remembered that she wasnât supposed to say those kinds of words in front of adults. She recalled how Mrs. Barington had sent her to the principalâs officeâ five times!â when she had.
She waited for the lecture, but all Natasha said was, âI think those words are a little too big for you.â
âWell, I donât.â
She pressed a Hello Kitty band-aid on the cut. âSuit yourself.â
Cat frowned. âAre these the only kind you have?â
Natasha raised her eyebrows. âI donât think youâre in much of a position to be making demands. You were the one stealing from me, after all.â
âI was not making demands,â Cat retorted indignantly. âAnd I was not stealing.â Under her breath, she muttered, âI didnât actually leave with anything.â
âBecause you didnât have a chance to leave at all,â Natasha pointed out. âBeing in the process of stealing is still stealing. Not to mention, you ate all of the peanut butter cookies and I havenât heard an apology yet.â
Cat glared at her. âIâm sorry,â she said insincerely.
Natasha snorted.
âThey were really good, though,â Cat admitted. She looked at the Hello Kitty band-aid, peeking through the hole in her leggings. âAre you sure you donât have any other band-aids?â
âWhat exactly do you have against Hello Kitty?â
Cat huffed. âI just think itâs a little undignified.â
âClint got them at the store. He claims they were the only ones there, although thatâs debatable.â
Cat stiffened at that. Clint. She had to be talking about the Arrow Manâ Clint⊠Barton. And the womanâs name was Natasha. Clint Barton and Natasha Someone. The names struck a chord in her memory. Sheâd read those names before, she was sure of it. It took a couple of seconds, like it usually did, but the memory came to her like she knew it would. It was three years and thirteen days ago, 8:32 a.m. Sheâd been six. Her fatherâ she pushed aside the twinge in her chest at the thought of himâ had been reading the newspaper. Heâd always preferred holding the papers rather than checking his phone. The New York Times. She could nearly smell the coffee and bacon in the air, the lemon scent of her motherâs freshly washed hair.
Her father always let her steal his newspaper before he had his coffee so she could read a couple of passages aloud to him.
Look, thereâs Iron Man, heâd said, pointing at the wide picture that spanned the entire half of the page, with the Avengers. Cool, huh?
Cat had been more interested in the words. She liked reading. She liked absorbing the information like a sponge. Sheâd dutifully scanned the passages, all about how the Avengers had saved New York again. There was Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, a couple other mentions, and⊠Hawkeye and Black Widow.
Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff.
Cat had never been as good as memorizing faces as she was with words, but she did recall seeing a flash of red hair and that black leather catsuit associated with Black Widow. And Hawkeyeâs arrows and black getup were unmistakable. Everything made sense. Everything clicked into place.
What the hell is going on, Cat thought wildly, caught up in a frenzy. Did I really get interrogated by two Avengers?
She was so stupid! It had been so obvious. The arrows, the iconic red hair with the suit, the âsecret agentâ stuffâ how had she not managed to figure it out?
âOh my god,â she whispered to herself.
âWhat?â
She remembered that Natashaâ who was the Black Widowâ was still staring at her. Cat thought back to everything sheâd ever learned about the Black Widow. Sheâd saved New York with the rest of the Avengers, but she was also a spy. An accomplished, deadly, and ruthless assassin. Sheâd killed dozens of people, probably without even batting an eye. She could probably do a lot more to her uncle Trevor than knock him out. Cat stammered for a little before saying, âNothing.â
Natasha didnât look convinced, but also like she didnât particularly care. She closed the first aid kit and walked away from the room.
âWhere are you going?â Cat called after her. âWhatâs going to happen to me now?â
âStill figuring that out.â
Natasha disappeared around a corner and disappeared into a room.
Catâs eyes darted around the room. She needed to get out of here. Natasha had been neutral and non-murderous towards her so far, but there was no telling what sheâd do to her in order to âget rid of her.â Cat had already found out their secret hideout, she knew their identities, and who knew what other confidential information she mightâve accidentally picked up. That gave them more than enough reason to get rid of her in a not-so-nice way.
Theyâre the good guys, Cat reminded herself. They wouldnât kill a kid. Thatâs ridiculous.
She was being ridiculous. But sheâd be safer out in the streets than she was in here.
Cat bit her lip, wondering what Natasha might do if she caught Cat trying to escape. Her backpack was hanging off the edge of the couch, but all of its contents were still scattered across the floor. Taco might bark or protest if she tried to drag him with her while he was dozing. Would Natasha try and tie her up to make sure she didnât escape.
Cat didnât have time to make a decision. Natasha was walking out of the room, a chunky laptop in hand. It had a logo emblazoned on the front. An eagle in a circular shape. Natasha set it on the coffee table and began typing furiously. Cat wondered what she was doing. She couldâve been watching funny animal videos, for all she knew, but Natasha didnât strike her as the funny-animal-watching type. She noticed the woman seemed a lot less dangerous when she was frowning at the computer screen.
Cat swallowed hard. âYouâre not going to kill me, are you?â she blurted. âOr hurt me, or maim, or anything?â
Now she had Natashaâs full attention. The woman looked annoyed. âWhy the hell would you think that?â
âWell, I donât know! Youâre the Black Widow! You didnât have any trouble pointing a gun at my head!â
Natasha paused. This seemed to surprise her. âSo you know,â she said.
âYeah, and that Clint Barton guy is Hawkeye. The arrows pretty much gave it away,â Cat said, not choosing to mention that sheâd only figured it out a couple minutes ago.
âHuh. We should really do a better job of hiding our identities.â
âYeah, you guys kind of suck at that.â
âWe werenât preparing to find a little girl in the safehouse.â
âIâm not a little girl.â
âI hate to break it to you, but you are.â
âI hate to break it to you , but I donât usually trust people who try to kill me.â
âWould you get over that already? That was twenty minutes ago.â Natasha paused. âThink about this: why would I go through all the trouble of disinfecting a teeny tiny wound on your knee if I had plans to kill you right after? That seems counterproductive.â
âOkay, fine. Youâre not going to kill me.â Cat sprang up from the sofa and arched her neck to see the computer screen. âSo what are you doing?â
Natasha looked back down at the screen. âJust looking at your files.â
âI have files? What do they say? Can I see?â
âEveryone has a file.â Natasha pulled the laptop away from her view, and Cat pouted a little. âIâm seeing if it matches up with what youâve told me already.â
âI havenât told you anything!â
Almost as soon as she said it, Cat remembered that this wasnât true. Sheâd basically spilled her entire life story to them. But hopefully sheâd been talking so fast that Natasha hadnât remembered everything.
âAnd all that âfileâ stuff is a bunch of bull,â she continued hastily. âWho would even keep, like, official government files on me? I bet itâs not even accurate.â
Natasha clicked a couple times and read from the laptop. âYour name is Catalina Gray. Your birthday is August 19th. You were born in Manhattan Beach, California. Youâre an orphan and a runaway. Your social security worker is Kimberly Kingston. Your favorite color is green.â She raised an eyebrow. âStill think itâs not accurate?â
Cat gaped at her. âHow did they know my favorite color?â
Natasha smirked. âLucky guess.â
âThat is creepy!â
âEven betterâ look what I found.â
Natasha turned the screen towards her. It was a pdf of a flyer. A picture of Cat, taken from her second grade school photo, was taking up the majority of the space on the page. Underneath, big red letters spelled out MISSING! The description was: Short blonde girl with brown eyes. Wearing a pink backpack with butterflies. May be carrying a box of fruit loops. If found, contact this number.
âShort,â Cat grumbled. âI am not short. I am an average height for my age. And thatâs a terrible photo.â
She had been smiling painfully in it. To be fair, it wasnât that unflattering of a photo. It just brought back memories that she wished would stay hidden. That day, her mother had made her showerâ twiceâ and sit as she brushed her hair into neat braids and tied them off with small black ribbons. Cat had been dressed in her nicest seafoam green dress and shiny hard shoes, even though they pinched her feet. She had no idea why school picture day was such a big deal to her mother. She tried to explain that the photo would only be a mugshot, so wearing such a flouncy dress and uncomfortable shoes didnât even matter, but her mother had outright gasped when Cat suggested wearing Converse instead.
Natasha turned the screen back towards her. âThe good thing is, now I know what to do with you.â
Cat didnât like the sound of that. âAnd what would that be?â
âSend you back to your social security worker. This Kimberly Kingston woman.â
Cat shook her head. She had already started backing away. âI have a better idea. You let me and Taco go back to living on the streets, and youâll never have to see me again. I wonât breathe a word to anyone, I swear, and if I did no one would believe me anyway. See? Everyoneâs happy.â
She grabbed her backpack and started gathering her things from the floor and shoving them in. She leaned down and grabbed a fistful of cash that had fluttered down underneath the sofa. Her hands were shaking again at the possibility of ending up back in the system, which she hated. She was so weak.
Natasha didnât try to stop her. She just did that silent long judgemental staring thing she did. âWhy did you run away?â she asked suddenly.
Cat slowed in her frantic movements. She straightened a little. âIt doesnât matter,â she said fiercely.
âIt does if you donât want me to take you back there.â
Cat worked her jaw. She couldnât believe that she was here, with an Avengerâ not only an Avenger but with the Black Widow herselfâ having this conversation. It was easy to forget that the woman wasnât a dangerous assassin, a killing machine, when she was sitting right there, in front of Cat.
âIf you take me back, thereâs a chance that my uncle will get custody again. And thereâs also a chance that I might be in the foster system. And I donât want either to happen, so living on the streets is my best bet.â
âYour parents died, didnât they?â
Cat tried and failed to stop herself from wincing. âWhat does that have to do with anything? Iâm not a sad little orphan, okay? I donât need your pity, or your help.â
âAnd then you moved to New York, started living with your uncle,â she continued ruthlessly. Cat wanted her to stop. Natasha watched Catâs reaction like a hawk watching a rabbit. Bluntly, she said, âYour uncleâ he hit you, didnât he?â
Catâs eyes flashed. âNo!â
âI saw the way you flinched,â Natasha said steadily. âIâve seen that before.â
âYouâre wrong. Youâre so wrong. Itâs not like that at all.â
âYouâre too young to be looking out for yourself. Youâve been living on the streets for what, less than a month? Trust me, youâre going to want to be in the foster system later, when youâve run out of money and supplies. Youâre going to need to go to school, get an educationââ
âI donât need to go to school,â Cat interrupted. âI can learn everything I need to know from the library. I can buy Fruit Loops from the grocery store. And I donât need anyone taking care of me. I have Taco, and Taco has me, and weâre good on our own.â
Natasha shook her head. âTrust me, kid. Itâs a rough world out there. Youâre going to need everything you can get, and you canât get it by yourself.â
âNo,â Cat insisted stubbornly. âNo. A thousand times, a million times no.â
âIâm trying to do a good thing here. Youâre going to regret this later on, I promise.â
Cat stood up, all her supplies zipped up in that childish, bright pink backpack. She started towards the door. âDonât try. Donât promise. You donât even know me. You donât want to help me. And you canât make me. So Iâm leaving now. Thanks for not killing me and all, but Iâm going. So bye. Iâd say it was nice meeting you, but it was really the opposite, so câmon, Taco.â
The beagle was still dozing lightly, which was both cute and extremely inconvenient. Cat shook him a little.
â Câmon, Taco.â
The beagle yawned and blinked his large brown eyes at her. He didnât budge, even when Cat tried tugging at him. He let himself be dragged over the couch, looking a little bemused. He made no move to stop her from moving him, but also made no move to get up and get the hell out of there.
Cat sighed, trying not to glance up at Natasha. âThis is really awkward. Heâs usually really obedient.â
âThat dog is a âsheâ.â
Cat met Natashaâs eyes, astonished. âReally?â Then she remembered that this was getting the way of her being storming out of the room. She looked back down, trying to nudge Taco into action.
âLet me take you back,â Natasha tried again. âIf youâre worried about being placed with a horrible home, Iâll make sure that doesnât happen. And Iâll make sure your uncle doesnât step in a fifty mile radius of you.â
âI told you, I donât need your help,â Cat said through gritted teeth. âAnd I donât understand why you care.â
âJust trying to wipe some of the red out of my ledger.â
âIf you really want to do that, then donât try and stop me.â
Cat couldnât believe she just said those wordsâ donât try and stop meâ to the Black Widow. It was kind of ironic because if she wanted to, the Black Widow could stop her as easily as lifting a finger. Use one of her electric zappy thingies to zap her senseless or knock her out with a single punch. Maybe the fact that she hadnât already tried doing so was what made Cat feel so bold.
Taco finally got the hint. Not very impressively, heâ wait, sheâ staggered to a standing position. Blinking her eyes tiredly, she followed at Catâs heels as Cat finished her very dramatic storming out of the room.
To her disappointment, she realized that she wouldnât be able to slam the door because it was so damn heavy. Instead, she did a very awkward pull at it until it started grinding against the floor, slowly shutting.
âNeed some help with your dramatic exit?â Natasha called from inside.
Cat was straining herself with the effort. âNo! I can⊠do it!â
She came to the door anyway. As she was helping Cat close the door, Cat said, âThanks for not killing me again. But not-thanks for trying to take me to that Kimberly person. But also, thanks for not stopping me from leaving. And I really am sorry I ate all those cookies. And I hope I never, ever see you again.â
âDitto,â Natasha responded, voice muffled.
With a final heave, Cat yanked the door back into its place. She was sweating a little. Cat fell back against the wall, chest rising and falling as she breathed heavily.
âOkay,â she whispered to herself. âThat just happened.â

Avengers: Age of Ultron is my favorite movie, and I am not going to attempt to explain it because I really don't think i can, but here are some of the best quotes from Ultron that I feel the need to share
âLanguageâ âI know, just slipped outâ âfor gosh sake watch your languageâ âthats not going anywhere anytime soonâ
âOh look theyre all lining upâ âyeah well, theyre excitedâ fucking obliterates them
âSomebody wanna deal with that bunker?â *destroys it* âthank you.â
âGuys, stop we gotta talk this through.â *shoots all of them* âit was a good talk.â âno it wasn't.â
âPlease be a secret door please be a secret door please be a secret-.... Yay!â
âThor report on the hulk.â âthe halls of val halla are filled with the screams of his victims.â *bruce, buries face in hands, steve looks at the roof like lord give me strength, nat looks at thor like what the hell, thor anxiously scrambling to save it and does not succeed*
âBoss?â âOh no hes the boss, I just design for everything and pay for everything and make everyone look cooler.â
âHes fast and shes weird.âÂ
âHow is he?â âUnfortunately hes still barton.â âOh how terrible.âÂ
âI don't have a girlfriend.â âthat i canât fix.âÂ
âI've seen her flirting. Up close.â *walks away* *wait a min-*âw-what do you mean up close?âÂ
âNo more renovating.â *in the middle of battle* âyou know i think ill make the dining room a little space for laura.â Nat: no one eats in a dining room
âThat the best you can do?â âyou had to ask.â
âThe city is flying, weâre fighting an army of robots, and I have a bow and arrow.âÂ
âSteve, he said a bad language word.â âYou tell everyone about that?âÂ
âVery very interesting theories. I have a simpler one, you're all not worthy.â *groans, clint sticks tongue out at him*
âCap doesn't like that kind of talk.â âyou know what romanoff..â
âAw junior. You're gonna break your old mans heart.â âClearly you've never made an omelet.â âhe beat me by one second.âÂ
âGo to sleep go to sleep go to sleep.â *hulk: roars* â...sorry.â
*steves face when clint greets his kids*
âWe would have called ahead but we were busy having no idea that you existed.âÂ
âDo me a favor. Try not to bring it to life.â *tony: this bitch again? Why are you around every fucking corner you overprotective stalker*
*tony throwing darts* *clint throws a bullseye while hes taking his darts out*
âThey're a mess.â âyeah. But they're my mess.âÂ
âDon't take from my pile.âÂ
âJust an old man who cares very much about youâ tony being the only one to call fury Nick. (and maria hill but in a different movie so wtv)
âWhat were you napping?â
âCap you got incoming.â *cut to steve trying to breathe on a car* âincoming already came in.â
âYou get hurt, hurt âem back. You get killed⊠walk it off.â
âEvacuate the city.â *no ones moves* âget off your lazy asses.â *fires gun*
âđ¶Ooooooh i'm decrypting nuclear codes and you don't want me to.đ¶â (tony drop the full album im waiting)
âYou're not a match for him cap.â âŠ. âThanks barton.âÂ
âCap can you keep him occupied?â âWhat do you think i've been doing???â
âBeep beep.âÂ
âStark is right.â âoooh its definitely the end times.âÂ
*everyone's faces when vision lifts the hammer*
âIron man the ones hes waiting for.â âthats true, he hates you the most.â
âYou cant save them all. You'll never-â *gets yeeted off city* âIll never what? You didn't finish!!!â
âKeep up old manâ *lifts bow* ânobody would know. Nobody. Oh last i saw him and ultron was sitting on him. Yeah heâll be missed. That little bastard. I miss him already.âÂ
âFury you son of a bitch.â âWhoo! You kiss your mother with that mouth?âÂ
âIts terribly well balanced.â âWell if theres too much weight you lose power on the swing so..âÂ
âRomanoff. You and banner better not be playing hide the zucchini.âÂ
âI was born yesterday.âÂ
Thor: says something serious and meaningful. Steve:...But if you put the hammer in an elevator..â Tony: itd still go up. Steve: elevators not worthy
âIm gonna miss these little chats.â âthen don't go.â đ
âBesides this oneâ *smacks tony* âtheres nothing that cant be explainedâ
âThat man has no regard for lawn maintenance.âÂ
âI will miss you tony.â đ
âYou wanna keep staring at the wall or do you wanna go to work? I mean, it is a nice wall.â âthought you and tony were still gazing into each others eyes.âÂ
Just them having casual conversations mid battle. I love.Â
Its just that they are able, allowed to be a team, to be friends, we get to see them bond, not hate each other, we get to see serene team moments, we get the original six, its just them having a lot of fluff even with all the angst
#the avengers#avengers#age of ultron#its my favorite mcu movie and i will fight you on it#its like the only movie with easy banter where they got to be themselves#cap and tony got along#they teased each other#were generally bitches#and i just adore#they still fought but like it was quick and good and just yesss#i love them

I REALLY LOVED YOUR ALWAYS FIC!!! Youâre fics are always such a delight to read and I canât wait to read more as you make them! :D
Also, apologies if this is against tumblr etiquette, but Iâm just imaging if Wrecker, Tech, and Echo were surprised to the point of speechlessness, can you imagine Crosshairâs reaction when itâs time to cross that bridge? It could be as mild as âyo we were dating this whole timeâ and Crosshair spitting out his tea, or it can be as mind shattering as âwelcome to Pabu, Crosshair! Btw youâre an uncle now!â And Crosshair just . . . Blue-screening.
Not at all against tumblr etiquette!! This is amazing omg. Iâm so sorry it took me so long to reply! After I read your ask I cackled, and then immediately set out to try and write the sequel to Always, but I just couldnât figure out how to put it all out into words. Anyway,
I think Crosshair knows. Like he knows and heâs been knowing. Crosshair was probably aware of something going on between them before they even got together đ And after they do, he just kept silent as he watches them sneak off together during missions or when they dock on Coruscant and Hunter just "disappears" for a while.
Itâs not his business, and Hunter is happy, so Crosshair kept pretending like he didnât see a quick âthank the Force youâre aliveâ hug in the heat of battle through his scope, and he kept making excuses to get the squad out of the Marauder for a little while. They thought they were being slick but alas.
After theyâre all reunited and on Pabu, Crosshair would probably pretend not to know for a little longer just to see Hunter squirm. When they finally sit him down and tell him the truth after Barton IV, heâs like yeah duh. And Hunter is so surprised and a little offended he lets out âwell I suppose you know sheâs pregnant too then huhâ and Crosshair just đšđŠ "no."
I think he'd snap out of it pretty quickly though, and he'd get really into baby proofing the house and hovering over Reader to make sure she isn't doing anything too strenuous. Do Not Make Him hold the baby though.
maybe someday i'll get back into writing this! i swear i tried on 3 separate occasions and it just wasn't clicking. but i'd love to write a sequel where they have the family they talked about, including Crosshair.

Fics Including Brock Rumlow Masterlist
asset management (ao3) - UnderTheFridge brock/jack, steve/brock M, 36k
Summary:Â The previous handler is cooling on a slab in the morgue - the knife still lodged squarely between his eyes - when Secretary Pierce calls Rumlow into his office and gives him the dead manâs job.
before you close the door on me (ao3) - quillingyousoftly jack/brock M, 3k
Summary:Â âI think we should break up,â Jack says, and he does so with a heavy heart, even if itâs easier to say it to his back than his face.
Brock pauses with his hand inside the shopping bag. He nods. âYeah, I guess we should.â He finally moves his head to look at Jack. âBreakup sex?â
bruises on your thighs (like my fingerprints)Â (ao3) -Â RedTeamShark clint/brock E, 44k
Summary: Itâs nothing but another mission for Brock Rumlow, S.H.I.E.L.D. S.T.R.I.K.E. Commander and undercover Hydra agent. Clint Barton is a target, an objective, an Omega that the Alpha need only manipulate into sex. Itâs a success as soon as he steps into the room, even if he keeps finding reasons to not just hold the heat-rattled Omega down and force him to take his knot.
Nothing Barton could do would change the outcome of this. Nothing.
(Roughly canon compliant with Captain America: The Winter Soldier, if there was A/B/O and the timeline was sped up and also Clint was around.)
Burn (ao3) - Marvelicious (Jayjaybe) bucky/brock E, 3k
Summary: Sometimes they let the Winter Soldier out long enough to have heats.
dirty love (ao3) - artificial_ink darcy/brock M, 13k
Summary:Â If SHIELD doesnât want Darcy and Jane to run away from their Tromso security detail, then SHIELD shouldnât make it so easy. Though Darcyâs starting to wonder if Rumlow just likes the chase.
(itâs not always) flowers and butterflies (ao3) - quillingyousoftly jack/brock, brock/janet T, 23k
Summary:Â Sometimes itâs strip poker and cold nights, fake dates and a trickster god locking you out of your bedroom.
Brock Rumlow spends his days in Avengers Academy bullying British spies and reminiscing about Hydra School. A peaceful year passes; one might say itâs boring. It all changes when a new student joins the Academy.
Jack Rollins is a dick. Brock is determined to show him his place.
It's Not Personal (ao3) - TheMeaningofHaste steve/brock E, 5k
Summary: There on the mats of the dirty gym floor, with Rumlow pinned beneath him, Steve expected to get hit, he really did, when he leaned in for a kiss. What he didnât expect was a hand to fist in his hair, pulling just this side of too hard, and keeping him close.
That was the first time Steve had sex with Brock Rumlow. He was a little ashamed to admit that wasn't the last.
Make the call and take it all (again)Â (ao3) - itallstartedwithdefenestration bucky/brock E, 13k
Summary: âIââ Bucky began, and Rumlow held up one hand: be quiet. Bucky shut his mouth instantly, without thinking about it. He remembered in Selbyâs bar, how easy it had been to do things without thinking about them. To do them because he knew it was required of him, to have no will of his own, no powerâ
âYou didnât come find me for the first time in almost a fuckinâ decade to ask me about a serum,â Rumlow said.
Old Faces in New Places (ao3) - SubverbalDreams bucky/brock, bucky/everyone E, 44k
Summary: âThe fuck do you want.â
That voice. A hundred, thousand dreams. Buckyâs lower half turns to water and he forgets how to speak for a minute.
âWhat, jaw ainât workinâ after you been suckinâ off Wilson all this time?â Rumlow asks in a flat tone. âFuck off, cyborg. Go back to your new handler.â
Something Broken (ao3) - Exorin bucky/brock E, 23k
Summary: Bucky and Rumlow really fucked each other up over decades of brutal conditioning, maybe (definitely) more on one side than the other.
It turns out that Bucky can't get over the wiring in his brain that makes him really susceptible to following orders and dropping to his knees anytime his old handler shows up PLUS he hasn't had a chance to test it a ton, but he can't come unless he's told? Oh and he also went back for Rumlow's very specifically modified sidearm back during the collapse - I'm sure there's a totally normal and not weird reason for that.
And Rumlow? Well it turns out that having a building dropped on him and then almost being burnt alive by his own fucking bomb (which frustratingly did not kill Captain America) has rendered his dick pretty much out of service which could be a good thing - the bomb not killing Cap A - since Steve went and abandoned a traumatized Bucky Barnes and left him totally open to having his handler waltz back into his life.
Also the dick thing is probably fixable with the right encouragement.
the stars were not enough (ao3) - kalika_999, Neutralchaos jack/brock M, 85k
Summary:Â Itâs been two years since Brockâs been anywhere near Jack after their break up, let alone in the same house on some private island. But now that his two best friends are getting married, heâs going to have to try dealing with it.
It should be easy. Theyâve both moved on and heâs made himself a better life without him. The feelings he once had are long gone and it was really just a silly infatuation anyway, not love.
Right?
thine own self (ao3) - trill_gutterbug jack/brock E, 19k
Summary:Â Brock has never let anyone get at him during a heat. Not once.
(Or: why condoms are a good idea.)
torture and cheese fries (ao3) - PumpkinDoodles darcy/brock M, 19k
Summary: Brock Rumlow really wishes he hadnât agreed to go on this blind date with Fosterâs assistantâŠ
when (brock) falls in love (ao3) - winter_angst jack/brock M, 10k
Summary:Â Jack needs to set the record straight on the untimely passing of his husband, disgraced actor Brock Rumlow.
