The Avenger and The Crow- A Kaz Brekker x reader

Herbal Tea

"Please..please...please stop!" a young girl, about age twelve begs. Her head bent, her eyes puffy and throat hoarse from screaming.

The 'doctors' don't listen, instead signaling to the others to start the procedure all over again.

" Don't worry, little one. You will be the Terror. Everyone will fear you ad they will know your name. Hydra will rise from the ashes, and you will be the reason for it." The short man nods to someone and it starts again.

The dreaded bits of metal arriving over her cheekbones and the mouth-guard being forced into her mouth.

They press the button-

and that's when the screams begin.

And day by day, you became more and more immune.

Immune to the pain,

Immune to nights, when the guards came into your cell,

Immune to the cold,

and you lost all sense of who you were.

Day by day, when the metal and the shock came, you didn't feel anything, yes you felt the pain. But the pain didn't mean anything.

"She is ready." .

Blood, there was blood everywhere. On you, on the ground, the stench of it hung in the air. You looked around.

Around you were corpses, bodies of men, women, children, babies. All of whom you killed.

You screamed.

~~

You jolted awake, almost screaming. Forehead covered in sweat, shirt soaked.

" Shit, I need water." you stumble out of bed and slowly make your way down to the kitchen.

For once, there's silence and no one is awake.

You filled a glassful of cool water and drank it all in one go, breathing heavily.

The nightmares had returned. After being captured by Hydra, your min was never the same, you had mostly healed but you still had nightmares from your time there.

You drank another glass, spilling some of it on yourself.

The sound was coming from the staircase, accompanied by cursing.

" Kaz?" you said, in a low voice.

Kaz looked at you, taking in your disheveled appearance and raised an eyebrow.

" Is there a reason you're awake at three in the morning?" he asked you.

" I was thirsty." you fiddle with the glass.

" Next time, try not to make so much noise, half the Slat is probably awake," he turned around to leave, " oh and another thing, there's a box of herbal tea in the top shelf, make yourself a cup if you have trouble sleeping. Works for me."

He left, limping up the stairs.

He opened the door to his room, and went straight to his desk, he had some paperwork to complete and now was the perfect time to finish it.

If only his stupid mind would focus on the numbers instead of you.

Out of all the things he expected to find in the kitchen at three in the morning, a disheveled, shivering Y/n wasn't one of them.

He knew straight away that you had a nightmare, the sweaty forehead, colorless skin, shaking hands and the clumsiness.

He was just glad the darkness in the kitchen had shielded his worry and concern for you.

For Ghezen's sake, stop thinking about her you idiot!

He looked at the page lying in front him, right there, in his handwriting, was your name.

Instead of crumpling it and throwing it away like he normally would, he took the paper and traced his fingers over your name, and then folded the paper neatly and shoved into one of his desk drawers.

That's it, I'm going mad.

" Wait, so they just disappear?" Bucky asks, confused.

" Looks like it Barnes." Tony said, " It's been three weeks since Y/n and Loki have gone missing and the only information we have is that they touch this weird blue smoke around the tesseract and immediately vanished. None of this is helpful."

" We need more information. Loki is the only one who knows what the blue smoke might be, and he's not here." Steve added.

" Well, there is one more person who knows the Tesseract well, she's an agent currently undercover in Delhi as a reporter for the Deccan Chronicle, and she was present during the experimentation of the Tesseract, she might be able to help us." Nat said.

" Who Natasha?" Bucky asked, looking at her intently.

" Her name is Arrow, she's a friend of Y/n's," Nat replied

" Let's call her, now."

It was late, eleven minutes past eleven (hehehe) to be precise.

So why the hell, were you still in bed?

Normally, either Jesper would bang on your door at seven, or Loki would use his magic to wake you up.

However, today, neither came. As you trudged down the stairs you heard Nina and Loki laugh.

"G'morning guys." you said as you walked past them to make a cup of coffee.

" Morning Brekker." you greeted Kaz, who was making his third? or was it fourth? probably fourth cup of coffee.

" Morning. You're coffee's on the table, somebody made it for you." he replied.

" Oh, ok, and hey, thanks for telling me about the tea, it helped." you thanked him.

" You're welcome." he said and left abruptly.

"Whoever made my coffee for me, I love you so much." you declared, taking the cup and sitting next to Loki. Missing the smirk between him and Nina.

" Y/n/n." Loki began.

" What Lokes?"

" Kaz made the coffee."

I'll be making character aesthetics soon!
