Addicted to you // Steve Rogers

Chapter 46

"Mommy, daddy" I hear my boys say while jumping up and down on the bed "your sons are awake" I say opening one eye "it was my day yesterday" Steve replies, I sit up "morning boys" I say opening my arms as they fall into them, I kiss their cheeks over and over again causing them to squeal "are you hungry?" I ask and they nod while jumping out of bed

"Okay you boys go get dressed, mommy's going to make breakfast" I say "okay" they call back as they run out of the room "you too Steve" I say glancing back at him "me too?" Steve asks and I nod "I told Natasha we would go up to headquarters today with the boys" I say while getting changed "you think that's the best idea?" Steve asks "having the boys there" Steve says and I frown

"Why wouldn't it be?" I ask confused "well it's quite dark in there, considering everything that happened"  Steve says "everywhere we go it's dark because of what happened Steve. We can't escape it, we built a house 20 steps away from it. This whole country became dark" I say "I'm sorry I just, I don't want anything to affect them the way it affected us" Steve says "I know, now will you get up we have twin hurricanes to take care of" I joke while walking away

I make breakfast and we all sit on the table together "do you guys want to visit Auntie Nat?" I ask with a smile and watch as they becomes super excited "good" I say looking over at Steve. We get the boys ready and they run off towards the headquarters "this is it" Steve says and I frown "before Peggy died, I visited her as often as I could" Steve says and I nod knowing that he did even after we had gotten together

"She told me to try the life that she had for myself, I never thought I really would. Fall in love again, have children of my own" Steve says while grabbing my hand "and then you came along" Steve says with a smile, "Boys not so fast" I yell calmly and watch them begin to slow down "you know I never even wanted it" I say and Steve frowns "I saw how hard being in a relationship was, I saw how much Pepper and my father fought. And after Theo, love to me was just something someone invented. Never even believed in it" I say with a laugh as the four of us walk into the headquarters

"Until one day, I bumped into this huge man with these beautiful eyes and u thought wow maybe it isn't fake after all" I say and Steve pulls me into a kiss "no running around in here okay boys" Steve says and they nod, Bucky hold my hand while Anthony grabs onto Steve's hand "hey kids" Natasha says looking up at us "raccoon conference?" I joke and she nods slowly, I see the tears in her eyes

"Don't you think maybe it's time to let this go Nat?" I ask tilting my head "if I don't do this then who will?" Natasha says "maybe we don't need that anymore" Steve says "I can't just back away this easily" she says and I sigh "have you heard from anyone other than us?" I ask "Clint is doing his own thing, he left after his family disappeared. Rhodes and Carol they're still around, Rocket is up there too. Thor is in the new Asgard" she says sadly taking a bite from her sandwich

"And Bruce?" I ask and she looks into my eyes before giving me a quick head shake "nope" she says and I take a deep breath "maybe you should come stay with us for n-" I begin to say as an footage shows up in front of us "Oh! Hi. Hi! Is anyone home? This is Scott Lang. We met a few years ago, at the airport? In Germany? I got really big, and I had my mask on. You wouldn't recognize me." Scott says in the recording "Is this an old message?" Steve asks as we walk closer 

"This is the front gate" Natasha says "Ant-Man? Ant-Man, I know you know that. I need to talk to you guys." Scott says "Is he seriously here?" I ask confused, we open the gates and Scott drives in "Are you okay?" Steve asks, Scott looks down at our boys confused "You two had children too?" Scott asks "This is Bucky and Anthony" I say "Bucky as in?" Scott says and i nod "Yeah" I say "You look nervous is there anything you need to say?" I ask and Scott nods 

"Have you ever studied Quantum Physics?" Scott asks "Just to make conversation" Natasha says "Alright. So... five years ago, right before Thanos, I was in a place called the Quantum Realm. The Quantum Realm is like its own microscopic universe. To get in there, you have to be incredibly small. Hope, she's my... She was my... She was supposed to pull me out. And then Thanos happened, and I got stuck in there." Scott says "I'm sorry. That must've been a very long five years." Natasha says 

"Yeah, but that's just it. It wasn't. For me, it was five hours." Scott says, we all exchange glances "See, the rules of the Quantum Realm aren't like they are up here. Everything is unpredictable. Is that anybody's sandwich? I'm starving." Scott rambles before stealing Natasha's sandwich "Scott, what are you talking about?" Steve asks "Scotty you gotta make more sense than this" I say confused

"What I'm saying is, time works differently in the Quantum Realm. The only problem is right now, we don't have a way to navigate it. But what if we did? I can't stop thinking about it. What if, we could somehow control the chaos, and we could navigate it? What if there was a way to enter the Quantum Realm at a certain point in time but then exit at another point in time? Like... Like before Thanos." Scott says "Like a time machine?" I ask 

" No. No, of course not. No, not a time machine. It's more like a... Yeah, a time machine. I know it's crazy. But I can't stop thinking about it. There's gotta be some way... There's gotta be...some w... it's crazy." Scott says "Scott, I get e-mails from a raccoon, so nothing sounds crazy anymore." Natasha says and i nod 

"You know he's actually great with the boys" I say referring to Rocket "Really he seems so, crazy" Scott says "Back to the subject?" Steve asks "Right. So who do we talk to about this?" Scott says and i smirk "I might now a guy" I reply
