Y/n stark

Chapter 18 - sibling fight

"Get down!" Josh shouts over the sound of bullets being fired and explosions, it was war and we knew it. An explosion went of about a meter away from us, sending us both flying back. As I rub the dirt from my face I look over to see josh doing the same.

"You good?" I shout to which I receive a few grunts in response. "I don't know about you, but I've just about enough of these people now." I say as I reach down and pull out one of my own bombs which I throw as hard as I can to the hydra agents. Killing some of them.

"Nice throw!" Josh says as he finally gets back on his feet and goes down to pick his gun back up. And then it happened. I felt an instant pain in my stomach. I put hand over my stomach before looking down to see blood gushing for it. I fall to the floor and try to lean against something as I see Josh make a run towards me. It feels like it's happening in slow motion. He gets shot in the chest and immediately falls down. "Josh?!" I shout but it's too late.

I wake up gasping for air, my chest feeling like it's going to explode. My breaths short and quick. I sit with my knees in my chest as the tears run down my cheeks. Waiting for everything to return to normal. After about 5 minutes I look over at the clock which displays the time 4:58. Without thinking I go to rub my eyes which I immediately regret. I step into the bathroom and look at it in the mirror, it's all swollen and black and blue, and the scary part is that I don't remember getting hit in the face. I need to get ice on it before it gets any worse I think to myself.

I'm in the kitchen hunting for a bag of frozen peas or something that will help when I feel my head get light and my eye sight goes all fuzzy and blurry. I suddenly find myself sitting on the floor and I look around. I pinch the bridge of my nose as I get up again and get out the frozen peas. I carefully hold the packet of frozen peas against my eye as I stare out into the city. Watching people slowly wake up and get on with their day as the sun rises up over the sky scrapers. It really is beautiful.

"Hey, when did you get back?" Tony asks as he pours himself a cup of coffee.

"Why are you up so early?" I question as I turn round to face him.

"Um it's 6 o'clock" he replies with as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Did I black out for an hour? I think to myself

"Earth to y/n" he laughs as he drinks his coffee. I hum a reply.

"I asked what's with the eye?" He repeats. "Let me take a look" he says while walking over to me.

"It's fine, honestly-" I state but I'm cut off.

"You would say you where fine anyways," he laughs "like you get thrown out an aeroplane at 50,000, somehow live and reply with, I'm fine" he laughs even more as he clutches his stomach.

"I see your jokes have got even more shit" I state which quickly makes him stop laughing and look at me offended.

"Language" Steve shouts from across the kitchen.

"Rogers doesn't like that kind of language" Nat comments as everyone laughs a bit.

Tony quickly turns back to me and removes the bag of peas from my face as he looks at my eye which somehow seems to have gotten worse. Sure the swelling has gone down a bit but the bruises are still there and it hurts like hell.

"How'd it go then?" Nat asks, breaking the silence in the room.

"Fine, I consider it a win" I state and just at the moment, Fury walks in, his arm crossed against his chest and a stoic look on his face.

"A win, is that what your calling it?" He asks in a serious voice.

"Yes, it is exactly what I'm saying, no SHIELD agents died and we blew up the base, just like we where supposed to do." I defend.

"Well from what I heard, you disappeared for half an hour, no one had contact with you and then as the place is about to blow you come out beat to a halt." He argues back.

"I have no idea what you're on about, I got in as quick as I could planted the bomb, and got out" I state.

"So you didn't freeze or you know, go after a hydra agent?" He asks. I let out a sigh in defeat. "You're lucky you made it out of there alive!" He shouts. Everyone looks around in shock. "Stick to the plan next time." He says as he walks back into the elevator. "Get ready for the mission next week!" He says as the door close as he makes his way back to wherever he came from.

"Before you say anything, I didn't freeze and the coms weren't working right from the beginning. And on top of that the hydra agent person deserved it." I state before anyone has a chance to say anything.

"What where you thinking?" Tony asks in his serious voice. It's never good when he says something in that voice.

"At which part of the mission?" I ask trying to joke it off

"I'm being serious" he says as he takes a step forward.

"And so am I" I say also taking a step forward so we are face to face. I'm not going to back down and I don't think he is either.

"You could have been killed" he says which is true, but I had time, I wasn't that stupid.

"Doing what we do there's always the possibility that we don't walk away, we put our lives on the line so that people, innocent people can continue to live their lives. You know that as well as I do" I spit through my teeth. He knew I was right but we both knew that wasn't even close to the reason I went after the hydra agent.

"It was him wasn't it?" He asked

"So what if it was?" I reply. He gives me a death stare.

"Fine, yes, yes it was him" I admit, leaving everyone slightly confused. Tony storms off down to the lab I assume, that's where he spends most of his time anyways.

~~~~~~

It had been a few hours since our little fight and I was in my room. I was looking at my bruised ribs in the mirror, they where all black and horrible, that's when the door opened and I quickly pulled my shirt back down.

"Knock next time!" I say as I turn around to see Steve standing there.

"Sorry, I was looking all over for you and to be honest, I didn't think you would be here either" He apologises.

"It's fine, what do you need?" I ask as I carefully make my way to the bed and sit down, letting out a silent wince as I sit down.

"What happened?" He asks pointing at my left side of my ribs.

"Nothing" I quickly reply

"Let me see then" he states.

"What? You want me to take off my top to show you that I'm fine." I ask trying to make this uncomfortable for him so he will drop the subject.

"No, I mean do this" he says as he steps closer to me and puts his hand down to lift up my top.

"Steve stop." I order but it's too late. He knows and now he's seen it.

"Y/n," he speaks softly as he places his other hand on my cheek, running his thumb over the cut I have under my eye.

"I said it's fine, it's just a bruise and the doc said that it'll be fine by the next mission, just to rest until then." I reassure him, last thing I need is for him to not let me go. After all this mission was the main reason why I was called in. 

He walks around my right side and places one arm under my legs and one under my back, I king me up bridal style and lays me on the left side of the bed. He then walks round to the right and lies beside me.

"So then, what movie are we watching tonite?" He asks as he wraps his arm around me so I can cuddle into him. I lay my head on his chest and after about 10 minutes of looking for a movie, he finials puts on the wizard of oz.
