Love Conquers All [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 4: the dreaded check-up (dun...dun.... dunnnn)

(A/N): *Possible TW* Mentions of self-harm though not really* this one is super looooong

Steve's POV

When (Y/N) looked up at dinner I could see her eyes and the brokenness in them was that of a soldier that has been through many wars and not a 17-year-old girl and it worried me, but I decided to put it off. She had decided to head to bed right after dinner and I was wondering what she was doing, and I wanted to check on her to see if she was okay. When I got to the door and knocked on it was unlocked and I didn't hear anyone, so I checked, and she wasn't there. I went to go tell the other avengers and warn them she might have been taken.

"Guys, (Y/N) isn't in her room she might have been taken or she could have escaped" I exclaim

"Wait, what!" Tony asked

"I bet she ran away" Natasha said with an upset yet worried look evident in her eyes but trying not to show it.

By the time we got back to (Y/N)'s room we knocked, and she opened the door coming out in black leggings and another hooded sweatshirt which is slightly different then what she wore before.

"How can I help you guys?" she asked

"We thought you left!" I exclaimed

"Nope, but I was just...... somewhere else" she replied

So, we left and decided to leave her alone and left her to go to sleep, I still couldn't sleep thinking about her eyes they were so broken and looked like they held power as well as grief. But I finally got to sleep with enough time to get up on my run tomorrow.

---------Time skip to the next morning----------

I woke up refreshed and got ready for my run this morning, I changed and went to get an apple and water before the run when I found (Y/N) in the kitchen eating an apple and already ready for the day.

"What are you doing up this early in the morning?" I asked

"I had a nightmare and couldn't sleep again" she said nonchalantly

"What time did you get up?" I questioned again

"Around 4, Why?" she said sending a confused glance my way

"No reason just worried for you; don't you have that checkup today" I reminded her

She groaned audibly and sighed I wonder what that was about does she not like doctor stuff? Does she have a fear of medical equipment? These thoughts ran through my head, but I continued the conversation,

"Wanna go on a run with me this morning?" I asked

"Sure, that sounds like fun" she answered

"Just try to keep up I normally go pretty fast" I said worried

"It's fine I got this" she said and tied her shoes

We started out slow and then went to my normal pace which was about 50 miles per hour.

(Y/N) POV

Steve's run was actually pretty nice and he kept a good pace, we went for about 10 miles today which was about half of what I manage at camp by the time we got back to the tower I wasn't even breaking sweat and Steve seemed to be dying and was huffing and puffing for air with a red face.

"Where were you guys?" Clint asked us

"I went on a run with Steve" I replied grabbing another apple and biting into it.

"Really, you're not breaking a sweat and Steve looks like he's dying over there and HE'S the super soldier" Tony said

"I mean I normally double the amount we did today" I said nonchalantly
