Sheilded (Steve x reader)

31:

Steve walked through the hallways, covered in blood. The normal adrenaline of winning a battle didnt even touch him. He felt little to nothing. Bucky had thrown up several times, Steve had had to leave him alone. He couldnt cope with watching his best friend deal with losing his daughter, while Steve was trying to cope with losing his wife.

"Steve." Clint was standing in his bedroom doorway. Steve blinked in seem confusion.

"Wheres nat? Did you get it?" Clint nodded.

"We got it. But Nat- she sacrificed herself for the stone." Steve frowned. "Me and y/n tried to stop her."

"Y/n?" You came into view behind Clint.

"It was supposed to be me. But Clint talked me into coming home after he stopped me." You mumbled. Clint gently touched your shoulder.

"I'm here if you need anything." He said before walking away, his hands twitching at his sides. Steve studied you for a moment.

"You were really going to let yourself die weren't you?" He stepped closer. You felt the tears prick you eyes, it was all too much. You gave a curt nod. His arm flew out pinning you against the wall. You gasped, but had no time to say anything before his lips were on yours. Kissing your furoriusly the anger, pain and worry slipping out with every tilt and push of his face.

You gently pushed him off. "Please never do that again. We cant cope without you, whatever going to happen we'll stop we always do." Steve muttered his eyes searching your face. You planned to make sure you couldnt hurt anyone later on, but the broken look on Steve's face made you agree with him for now.

"Wheres dad?" Steve faltered.

"He- we sent him and strange after one of your moms minions who had all the others stone bar the tesseract and soul stone. They haven't come back yet. Their ships connection went out last night." You gulped down the fear. "But you should go and see Bucky. Hes just down there." You nodded slowly.

"Pe-"

"Shes fine. But- I wouldn't." Your face contorted as you clenched your jaw and walked away, tears threatening to spill from your eyes.

Bucky walked with you his hand still squeezing yours tight. It had been nice to feel the warm safe embrace id him when he realised you were safe. But it was only making it harder for you to do what you had to do now.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Bucky asked. "She fucked with you last time." You nodded.

"Ill be fine. I already now what's going to happen, she cant torture me with something I've already accepted, same for the past." Bucky nodded and unlocked the door. You slipped into the room your eyes falling to the women who was clearly panicking tied to the wall. "Brings back memories doesn't it." You snapped coldly.

Her eyes followed your voice. "Y-yo-your not dead." You crouched down in front of her, the numerous weapons on show across your chest, back, legs and waist.

"Nah, didn't feel like it." You said taking a small knife from your leg, and dragging the blade down the side of her face. "Tell me mother, whos this minion you've intrusted with the stones. She laughed.

"What are you going to do? Torture me?" Her eyes widened as yours set to stone and you pushed a little deeper.

"If hydra taught me one thing its how to get information. May not be ethical, but neither is wiping out half the planet and making your daughter kill the rest to 'keep her safe' so I'm not too bothered." She stayed quiet, you took off your weapons belt, you felt sick but you kept the stone expression as you spoke again.
