STILES | AVENGERS

34. Worthy

Stiles was in range with Tony, Bucky and Peter. Tony took eight different guns and showed him how to dismantle them. Stiles did all of them in his first try. He was having fun and did the obstacle course again with Peter.

Peter beated him by some seconds and both fell on ground like a dead body. Overall. He was having a great time with Tony, Bucky and Peter and he kinda wished Issac was here too.

Tony went to get some water and Bucky came and gave him his and to get up. Stiles took gladly and made his way towerd bench. He was about to sit when he saw something on it. He freezes when he realises that it was an bow

Stiles clanches his jaw and slowly picked it up. He fell on the bench with bow in his hand. Bucky notices who was helping Peter up. He walks up to him and sat beside him with Peter on other side. At first he was confused on why Stiles is sitting like that with a crossbow in his hand, but when it clicked he wince.

"Stiles?" Bucky calls his name and gently tries to take crossbow from his hands, but Stiles just tightens his grip.

"Don't worry. I'm fine. It's just..." Stiles trails off at that, not having an excuse.

You can tell me Stiles." Bucky says, softly. Stiles looks at him and Bucky's heart breaks, becouse of how broken Stiles looks. He was happy a minute ago but just one thing pushed him back in the same place he's trying to escape.

Tony comes back with water bottles and in his way to them from door he saw Stiles, Bucky and Peter sitting on bench, he eyes fell in crossbow and it took him no time in realising what is heppening. He sits on Stiles right, where Peter slid and made some space for him.

"She always liked bow and arrows. I said that she should take a gun or something else and that will keep her more safe but she just laughed and said that I'm the one who's taking a baseball bat and she's the conserne one. I never won any argument with her." Stiles says, wiping tears from his eyes. He was never able to talk to anyone about her after she died. They all just ignored the topic and made him feel like he's the reason that heppend. So he just kept everything inside himself and even saying her name feels like swallowing a cactus now.

Before Tony and Bucky can do or say something Peter spoke.

"Just after I got my Power I let a robber ran past me. I thought that was not my responsibility to stop him. Same night.... same robber....shot uncle Ben. I was there when he died. It was hard to believe that it wasn't my fault....and I tried to make up for it. I did what Uncle Ben would have want me to do. At first it was really painful....I just locked myself in my room. But with time it got easier. I won't say that it will go away but you'll know how to live with it." Peter said, both teens are crying at this point.

"I-I wish I could j-just see her ag-again. I miss h-her sooo much.....a-and....it h-hurts." Stiles shutters, crying. Peter stands from his place and hugs Stiles, while muttering that he misses his uncle too. Stiles is still holding bow and his grip is so tight that his knuckles are white.

"I don't know if it makes any sense, becouse I never met her....but I miss her too...and I wish I could have met her." Tony says, wrapping his hands around both boys.

Bucky didn't said anything just joined the group hug. He know everyone in team was eager to meet Allison when they heard about her and knowing that she is dead shattered their hearts. She was so much like them. Doing mistakes and leaning from them and always trying to save everyone. In the end she gave her life for her friends.

Tony decided to keep all the bows and arrows out of Stiles sight from now on, even if he lives with an archer.

They sat there until Stiles calmed down and Jarvis told them that everyone else are back from headquarters.
