Steve rogers x y/n

Chapter 15- security breach

My eyes started to flutter open. I could feel the steel beneath my body. The blaring light filled my eyes as I adjusted to the newfound beeping in my ears.

I groaned trying to sit up before realizing i couldn't. Something felt heavy on my chest.

The door opened, my bed elevated some so I could see who came through.

Wanda, Steve following behind her.

"Hey kiddo, your awake." She saw my eyes open and rushed over to me, gripping my hand.

"Why- why can't I move?" I asked her.

Steve's eyes dropped, as did Wanda's.

"Please why can't I move?!" I asked, raising the tone of my voice.

"You we're in surgery for 9 hours. They had so much to repair. Bruce, the doctor, put a pick line in your chest to help the recovery. You will be able to sit up, just not for a little bit babes."

I could feel my eyes start to fill with tears. Somehow my life always ended up like this. Danger, assassins, hospitals, death.

Steve came and sat down by the other side of the bed, but not holding my hand like Wanda.

"Hey wands can you leave us for a second?"

Her eyes opened wide looking at me. "What did you call me?"

She jumped in her chair, looking at me as in desperation.

"Um 'Wands' why?"

She cried, even more than she was before.
"Because that was my nickname you gave me when we were children. Right before hydra."

Her eyes lit up. I gave her a small smile. I could tell this was hard. Me not remembering her. It was hard for me too. I couldn't remember everything, hardly anything. Sometimes things just came to me.
If I saw a picture a memory would come with it. Or a name or a voice. Things were starting to come back.

"I'll leave you two alone to talk. I love you y/n"

I wasn't close to saying it back, to be fair I hardly knew these people. Even if they had almost convinced me I was their family.

Wanda left the room, closing the door behind her.
Steve's glance never faltered.

"You have a staring problem."

He chuckled under his breath, releasing his crossed arms from his body to rest on his knees.

"I usually don't."

We sat in silence for a moment, before I broke it.

"You were the one who found me? Right?"
I knew the question came with some fresh wounds, but I insisted.

"Yeah, yeah I was." He leaned forward resting his elbows on the bed, staring strait as if into nothing.

"You were laying in a pool of blood. And um- uh that wasn't even the worst part."

He glanced at me for a moment, before staring into my eyes, like he was reading my soul.

"Your eyes, they were so glossy. You couldn't move you couldn't even talk. But your eyes they said everything, how much pain you were in y/n."

I looked at him. Not being able to hug him right now killed me, so I flinched my hand as much as I could to his. Him getting the hint, he brought his hand to mine. Intertwining his fingers with mine.

"What even happened?"
I asked, knowing I was attacked, not remembering from who however.

"There was a security breach on level two. A hydra agent. They were able to get to our living quarters and somehow found you. Im actually not sure what you were doing in the kitchen but he took advantage of it."

"Water" all i was able to mutter out.

"I'm sorry, what?"

"All I wanted was water. It took me some time to find the kitchen. I closed the freezer door after getting ice, and he was there."

I kept my head down the whole time, my right hand
My nails digging into my palm.

"Hey-hey it's okay. He's not here anymore. Tony upgraded the cameras today and we're gonna make sure this never happens again." He assured me, brining his other hand to the one I was injuring.

I smiled slightly, "thankyou Steve. It means so much." He nodded

"Is James okay? If hydra is after me, they'll be after him too."

Steve's face tightened, his body tensed.
"Wait what do you mean after you?"

"They want me back, as an assassin. That's what the man said last night he told me exactly 'the boss wants his property back' so if they're after me, they'll be after James too."

Steve kept a hold on my hands, but you could tell he was deep in thought. Just before he was going to say something an alarm went off throughout the compound.

"Security breach. All personal make your way to a safe zone. Lockdown protocol initiated."

"Steve what's happening?!"

I saw the blinds close with steel barriers as the door and all openings did too. 

He jumped up trying to find something on the computer.
I attempted to move but ended up hurting myself even worse in the process.

"Y/n!! Don't move! It's gonna be okay."
I reached my hand for him as he pulled me into a hug, the alarm still blaring.

"I don't want to go back"

A/n: sorry this took so long to post, my mental health has not been the best lately but I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.
