Sheilded (Steve x reader)

29:

God she looked so different but so similar. The loving face that had once comforted all your nightmares, was twisted and scared with what looked like burns. The hair that you had once brushed and braided when your hands were shaking from whatever the days torment had been burnt black and singed.

"Mom?" The word left your mouth leaving a gasp from everyone in the room bar Bucky who sat still. "Y- your dead. Bucky killed you." You whispered.

"Yes your dad killed me- well would have done. Had I not been sacrificed by the creeps of hydra to some shitty moon god. As if I hadn't suffered enough! As if I did not at least deserve the sweet release of death. No my suffering continued a slave once more just on a different rope." She moved away from Steve, coming towards you, the knife still clutched in her hands.

It had finally happened. You thought. She'd finally gone mad. "I thought of you sweet girl, and all the pain and suffering you went through along side us. We were terrible parents. But! I plan to make it up to you." You were shocked into silence, your body tense as she put her hand on your shoulder. "I killed the god they sacrificed me too, took his power. I'm going to destroy human kind y/n, make you safe."

"Sorry what?" You snapped pulling away. You rubbed your head, the throbbing clouding your judgement. "This doesn't make sense. Your dead you can't be here." You stepped backwards again hitting Tony. His soft hand touched your shoulder and you felt yourself relax. "Dad i don't know what happening." You said slightly panicked. Tony kissed your head.

"Your okay." He said softly.

"Him really?" Your mother drooled. "I know buck was sometimes a shit dad but did you really go and replace him with stark." You blinked at her. "I kept taps on this world, I know everything about you, the Avengers. You married captain America?" She tutted. "Darling you have shocking taste. The blonde that came from the bottle." She walked back Steve. You pulled away from Tony.

"Mom stop!" She paused. "You say you want to keep me safe? Its too late. I suffered for years at the lack of you and buck doing something, anything to save me. Tony stepped in and filled the role of parent where no one else had. I've learnt to protect myself. To deal with thr world alone, and when it is too much, dad and Steve have been the ones to save me. My friends too! But they, they are what keep me safe and sane. Mom. You lost your chance." Her face contorted.

"But." You said softer. "I forgave buck." You stepped closer. Your heart was racing. She had most of the stones. When she'd touched your shoulder you'd seen right through her. "I'm sure i could you too." Something moved in the corner. You turned your head fast. A little boy came scurrying out of the shadows. To your horror his mouth was sewn shut. He looked just like you.

"Did Bucky ever tell you that when he 'killed' me I was pregnant with your brother?"

"What?" You snapped.

"Time works differently on the dark moon. What feels like years is actually days. Things don't always go according to plan but! I did manage to steal some of the stuff the injected you with! Your brother has been ever such a big help!"

"You willing injected another child with that shit." You snapped. "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? WHY IS HIS MOUTH SEWN UP?" you screamed losing your temper completely. You saw Tony untie Steve. Who quickly moved towards you, but when Tony shook his head faltered. "You said you wanted to protect me well maybe you should have started with your other fucking child instead of screwing him over like you did me!" You turned to the little boy. His eyes were wide. "What his name?" You asked coldly.

"He doesn't have one." You mother waved it off like it was nothing. Bucky groaned. He stood up and within seconds his hand had your mother pressed against the wall. No air passing her throat. She gasped.
