"we've been searching this place for hours. can we go yet?"

"no. she has to be here, nat." steve argued.

after y/n left, steve fell into a pit of rage and heartbreak. he stayed up late every night trying to come up with ways to get her back. he searched for her all over the world but never found a trace of his ex.

  the team helped him at first but they all eventually grew tired. natasha was the only one who kept searching because y/n was her best friend. but, even natasha was getting bored of the useless treasure hunt.

  "steve, we've been looking for her for years. don't you think it's time to give up?"

  before steve could answer, a figure appeared in front of him. the darkness hid their features. the only visible thing was glowing purple eyes.

  "who are you?" steve called out.

  "a figment of your imagination."

  steve knew that voice. it sounded less angelic but he could definitely recognize it.

  the figure shot a blast of purple energy at natasha and steve, knocking them to the ground. natasha fell unconscious from the blow but steve stood up. he threw his shield in the direction of the enemy but it ricocheted off the wall.

  steve felt a presence behind him, "i hope this memory doesn't suck," before he could turn around, his vision went blurry and he collapsed.

  steve opened his eyes to see his team sitting around the dining table, talking amongst themselves. they were all dressed in elegant clothing, awaiting someone's arrival.

  "you're here just in time, capsicle." tony said as he pulled steve to the elevator.

  "what is going on?"

  the elevator chimed and the doors opened to reveal y/n in a long navy blue dress. she had a diamond necklace on and her hair was curled. steve never saw her this dressed up before.

  "y/n? is that you?"

  she took a step towards him and laughed, "of course it's me, silly. who else would it be?"

  "i've been searching for you for years. where have you been this whole time?"

  "steve, i was just in our room getting ready. why do you look so shocked to see me."

  y/n and steve both had confused expressions on their faces but for two different reasons.

  "i thought you left me. i haven't seen you in years." steve stuttered as a tear slipped down his cheek.

  y/n lifted her thumb to wipe it away, "honey, you just saw me an hour ago. are you feeling okay?"

  y/n pressed the back of her hand to steve's head to check his temperature. she moved her hand to his cheek and he melted at her touch.

  he pulled her into a tight hug, "i've missed you."

  "i missed you too, but you're squeezing me a little too hard." y/n said, trying to catch her breath.

  steve stepped away and examined the girl again. she glanced at him with a devious smirk and tapped his forehead.

  "show's over, rogers."
 

***

  steve woke up in his bed at the avengers compound. the room was dark but he could see someone sitting on the edge of his bed.

  "what happened?" he asked the unknown person.

  the figure didn't respond. they stood up and walked closer to steve. the moon cast a faint glow on their face.

  "y/n?"

  "yeah."

  steve shot up in bed, "is it really you? you're not a dream?"

  y/n chuckled, "i'm really here, steve."

steve was too stunned to speak. he stared at the woman in front of him with a dazed expression. y/n leaned closer to him and turned on his bedside lamp.

the sudden light revealed y/n's new look. her eyes glowed purple and a scar sat over her eye and down her cheek. steve gasped at her appearance.

"i've changed. i know." y/n said with a sigh.

"what's happened to you all this time?" steve questioned, examining her face more.

"after i left, i discovered something about myself. i am the most powerful being to ever exist."

"you sound crazy, y/n."

y/n's purple eyes shined brighter, "what do you think made you see that memory of me on the elevator today? that was all my doing, baby. i've seen so much and the world needs to see what i'm capable of!"

steve stood up, going nose to nose with the girl in front of him. she didn't flinch at his sudden movement, she only smiled.

to admit steve was scared, was and understatement. he had no idea what was going on in y/n's head and he couldn't decide if she had good intentions.

before another word could be spoken, natasha barged into steve's room. she stopped dead in her tracks when she noticed y/n's presence.

"y/n! is that really you?"

natasha ran up to y/n, enveloping her into a tight hug. suddenly, a purple glow surrounded natasha and she fell to the ground. y/n moved the body out of her way with her newfound telepathy.

"what did you do to her?" steve frantically questioned.

"i removed her soul for awhile. she'll be fine." y/n brushed off the topic.

steve was in complete shock. the woman he loved turned into a purple glowing monster that took souls and made up stories in his head. there was no good intent behind y/n's actions and steve knew what he had to do.

he ran to his shield and threw it at his old lover. y/n caught the weapon and chucked it back at him, wedging it in the wall inches away from his head.

"you think that frisbee can kill me? think again, lover boy."
