-Y/N Rogers-

After breakfast I spend my time unpacking the few things I brought with me and, after the happiness of being able to be near between James and Steven takes off, breaking down in tears several times. But somehow not being engaged with Liam anymore makes me feel kind of free. It hurts a lot but I don't have to worry about the wedding anymore, about being together with one person forever. When I'm done with unpacking F.R.I.D.A.Y. helps me to cancel everything for the wedding what leads to more breakdowns. Later I have a therapy session over the phone, updating my therapist, going through another breakdown but...

Eventually it will be okay. This time I am able to feel the pain. No numbness, no nothing. Emotions.

Over the next few weeks I spend a lot of time with Steven and the Avengers. I train with them, cook with them, have movie nights and even a lot of deep talks. When Fury offered me to be a part of the team I didn't know that the Avengers aren't just a team but a family. Stevens family. And slowly they grow to be mine too. But I don't quit my job, my decision to be an ordinary woman stands and so does the job offer as Fury likes to remind me through Tony. 

(Weeks later, Y/N still "crashes" at the Compound)

As the bell rings I go down and open the door.
"Emma!"
I smile and pull her into a hug. 

We met through the past weeks like we met before, during lunchbreaks. She was kind of sad for me when she heard about the break up and against my expectations she didn't jump on the possibility of me and James getting back together. Instead she even told me to enjoy my new gained single life. I lead my best friend inside the building to the sitting area that's big enough for our movie night.

"So, movie night with the Avengers... How can I picture it?"
She sits down on the couch and I laugh.

"Chaotic for sure."
I start imitating their voices.
"Can we watch an action movie? - No, something romantic would be nice! - You girls always decide what we watch, how about a horror movie? - I don't like horror movies. - Can we watch something about the 40s? - What about mystery?"
Emma and I start laughing and I sit down next to her. In my normal voice I end my answer.
"But with you around they might not fight about the movie."

She turns red and I grin.
"What do you mean?"

"Let's say there were a few happy faces when I asked if you could join us. You definetely left an impression at that party."

As the rest of the Avengers join us we can hear them discussing just like I told Emma before and we break out in laughter.

My brother sits down on the other side and puts his arm around me. 
"Maybe we let our guest decide?"

I'm very happy to be able to spend as much time with Steven as I do now. Everyone agrees, I don't forget to mention how unusal that is, and Emma doesn't take long to choose a movie. Looking at her you would probably think she likes romantic movies and that is a hundred percent true but tonight, probably for the sake of the boys, she chooses a horror movie. Halfway through the movie Steven gets up to get something and before Emma can say anything I already slide next to James. Unsure how to react he takes his time before he finally puts his arm around my shoulder. I stick my tongue out at Steven who sighs and sits back down between me and Emma. After the movie Emma is cuddled up against Sam, how she got there is a mystery to me.

"Well, how about some fun after that movie?"
Natasha smiles and gets some alcohol. 

James sighs and wants to leave but Steven holds him back.
"If I have to stay then so do you, pal."
