the one where sh*t happens

Chapter Seven

*narrator pov*
10 weeks later, everything was pretty much back to normal.
Y/n's cast was removed, and you got back to training with Nat instantly. You felt even stronger than before.
Things with Bucky were still uneasy, but at this point you could be in the same room with each other, and talk when other people were around.
———
You were with Peter at the compound, when Stark called him into the meeting room. You followed behind him as you walked in.
The avengers were sitting around a table.
"Kid, suit up, we need you" Stark told him.
"Are you serious?" Peter got excited. He hadn't joined them on a mission in a while. He looked at you with a grin on his face, and you smiled back. You were happy for him, but it just meant you had a few hours for yourself. And you knew, you would spend that time just worrying about him.
Peter ran out the room, and you turned to follow him.
"Y/n wait!" You looked to where Nat was as she called you. Peter had already left, but you stayed.
"Do you want to join us?"
Your heart skipped a beat.
"I'm sorry, what?" You mustn't have heard her correctly. Did she just ask that?
"Yeah, what?" Tony repeated after you.
Nat turned to Stark. "Tony, I've been training y/n for months now. When her cast came off, she was even stronger than before. The mission isn't even that bad."
"That's insane. She's a kid. She's not special!" Tony argued.
You were still stood at the door, not sure if you should leave.
"Nat, are you sure about this?" Steve asked "it is dangerous, but if you're sure?"
Nat looked at you, "positive" she said.
"Ok. Then I'm sure too. I trust you" Steve replied.
"I trust Nat, too" Clint joined in.
"This is crazy" Tony stated.
"Tony trust me. She's ready" Nat assured.
You were still in the corner, not sure how you felt about it. You knew you were strong, you could take down Nat on her bad days. You could use a gun pretty well. You were ready.
"I'm ready" you said from behind Tony.
"Fine. But if she gets hurt, that's on you Romanoff" stark finally agreed.
You smiled at Nat, and ran off to find Peter.
"Peter guess what!"
"What?" He asked as he was finishing suiting up.
"I'm coming with you."
"Wow. So funny" he laughed.
"Pete, I'm serious."
"No. That's ridiculous" he took his mask back off. "It's dangerous" he argued.
"I know. But I'm ready" I said back.
"I don't want to be, like, not supportive, but you're sure you're ready?"
"Yeah. I'm going to be fine Pete. It's going to be fine. I'm ready."
Pete walked over to where you were standing and hugged you. "Ok. I just don't want to lose you."
"Now you know how I feel every time you patrol."
"Ok" he grinned "go get ready for your first mission then."
You walked out the door to go get ready.
As you turned down the hallway, you bumped into Bucky.
You half smiled and went to walk around him.
He grabbed you by the arms and pulled you in front of him. "Tell me why the hell Steve just told me you're coming on the mission."
"Because I'm ready."
You tried to carry on walking, but he held onto you.
"No, you're not." His face got close to yours, you could smell his breath. "You're not going."
"You'd don't get a say."
"Yes I do."
"It's my decision."
"Not if it's going to be a stupid one."
"You can't tell me what to do, Buck. You're not my boyfriend."
He let go of your arms and stepped out of the way. There was no way he was getting you to stay.
You walked towards Nat's room, as she had offered to find something for you to wear.
"I got you a gift."
She handed you a small ish box. You removed the lid, and inside was an old gun.
"It was the first gun I ever fired. From when I was just a child. I saved it from the red room."
"Wow. Oh my god this is so cool, Nat. It still works?"
"Yeah it should. Give it a go."
She threw a small ball in the air, and you shot it. The first bullet hit right in the middle.
"Nice" she smiled at you.
You changed, then went to find the others.
———
"Ok. You're still sure about this?" Tony whispered to Nat, as he saw you and Peter play fighting as you boarded the jet.
"She's fine Tony. Chill" Nat said.
———
Tony debriefed you on the mission. Something about some Hydra agents transporting dangerous weapons.
He looked at you. "I hope Nat is right."
You nodded. "She is."
He raised an eyebrow, and didn't turn as he said "Bucky, you're babysitting."
You rolled your eyes at Stark, and saw Bucky giving him a death stare.
Neither of you said anything though.
When Tony walked away, Peter laughed. "Haha. You have a babysitter" he taunted.
You elbowed him and smirked as he doubled over.
