Reader is a criminologist, who works for SHIELD, alongside with Dr Banner, but an unexpected mission brings her closer to Captain America himself, Steve Rogers. Will she ever make it and confess her feelings to the Captain?
The next morning when I woke up, Steve wasn't next to me. Confused I got up from bed and after I got dressed and freshed up, I went downstairs to search him. The view in front of me put me in a state of shock. Steve was furious with Sharon and Agent Hill, while some of the Agents were tranfering some of my stuff out of the lab. "What's going on?" I asked. "They're taking away your stuff so they can search them." Steve said. "Fury told me that yesterday." Steve's face was red and his eyes full of fire. "Hey, hey! What's wrong?" I cupped his cheecks. "They found this in your lab's closet." he saw me a folder that was inside a plastic bag, because it was one of the clues. But I gasped when I looked at it. "This folder belongs to HYDRA?" he nodded and gave it to me. It was list of all the Avengers and their records and in each one of them was written underneath a different way of how they will be killed. "Steve this is not mine! I will never do that! I don't know how it got there, you have to believe me!" I started crying and Steve hugged me tightly. "Sweetheart relax! I believe you, please. It breaks my heart seeing you crying." "Steve this is awful. It describes ways of yours and Avengers' murder. Someone must put it there." "Listen! Take a deep breath." I did as he told me. "Let's go out and take some breakfast. The Agents won't follow us. We will discuss it calmly and we'll find a way, ok? I'll talk to Fury too." "Ok." I said and Steve wiped my tears away with his thumbs. "Your eyes are even more beautiful when you cry." he flirted and I giggled. "Don't get me started with your eyes, Rogers." he laughed and kissed me. "Sorry if I'm interrupting the romance..." Sharon suddenly said. "... but y/n must follow me in the interrogation room." Steve was about to speak, but I gently held his arm. "I have to. When I finish we'll go take a breakfast." I smiled and he nodded. "I'll wait in your room." I nodded and left with Sharon
Steve's p.o.v.
I took a breath and tried to clear my thoughts of how I could help y/n. I went to her room, but I couldn't calm down. Suddenly my phone rang and I saw Bucky's name on the screen. I tottaly forgot them and the mission. "Hey Buck." "Steve, there's a situation..." "I know Buck, I'm sorry that I'm not in Nevada with you, but y/n goes through a serious situation." "No, no! It's not about the mission. Don't worry! The Avengers understand you and support y/n and the mission is going well..." "What's the matter then?" he hesitated for a while. "Fury called me and said that I have to come back because this morning they found a gun in a crime scene." "What crime scene?" "Few meters out of Washington. They found four SHIELD Agents dead." "And what you have to do with it?" "In the gun they found fingerprints of three men, one of them is me." I widen my eyes. "What?! How?! You're in Nevada for two weeks. And you have witnesses." "I have no clue, pal. I'm on my way to find Fury and Hill." I took a breath. "Something's going on, Buck. Come here and we'll discuss everything." "How's y/n?" "She's strong, but she's also scared. All these came out of nowhere." "You did well that you came back to her and stayed. She needs you." "Now you need me too and I'll do anything to find out who's behind. Nat would be a great partner in this. Damn it!" "Fury will help us, too. After I finish the interrogation, I'll find you guys." "We'll be in touch." we hang up and I covered my face with my hands.
After an hour, y/n came in her room and I got up from a chair and hugged her. "How are you feeling?" I asked her softly, but she was in shock. "Talk to me, darling, your're scaring me." "Steve I didn't do anything bad." she said and her face was pale. "I know, I know." I caressed her hair. "What did they do to you?" "The questions... I would never use you... " "I don't understand, y/n." she looked at me. "I need to rest." she simply said and I helped her lay on her bed. She was looking at the ceiling and she wasn't talking. "Sweetheart?" I whispered and she looked at me. "Don't go." "Never." She put her head in my lap and I was caressing her hair. After few minutes she fell asleep. What did they do to her? I should have been with her the whole time. Suddenly, the door knocked and I half whispered 'come in'. Fury came in, looking skeptical. "What did they do to her? She came to me and she was lost, lke she saw a ghost." "Truth is, they were rough on her. They pushed her a lot." I bit the inside of my cheek. "And you didn't do anything?" "I wans't there. I was in a crime scene and I guess Bucky has already told you about that." "Why y/n and Bucky? Why these too?" "You know, y/n was right all along." I gave him a look. "The fact that her and Bucky have been gunned should have opened your eyes about who's responsible for all this." He was right! These two were on the mission in HYDRA's restaurant and y/n stole the files. "Valentina Allegra." I said. "We found some clues with y/n, but she couldn't continue her work. But how Valentina discovered them?" "That is something I want to know too." Fury said and then his phone buzzed. "Bucky has arrived. Are you coming?" I looked at y/n, who was sleeping peacefully. I kissed her forehead and looked at Fury. "Let's go."

I woke up, feeling dizzed and tired. I must have been sleeping for over 4 hours. Steve was no where to be found, so I called him and he immediately answered. "Sweetheart? How are you?" "I'm hungry." I said and he chuckled. "Where are you?" he didn't say anything for few seconds. "Everything is under control." I narrowed my eyes. "What? Where are you?" he took a breath. "Talk to me, Steve! I thought we didn't have secrets." "Alright! Bucky is with me. He's on the target too." "How is he? What happened?" "I don't want to leave you alone. We're coming to you and we'll talk." "Ok! I'll cook something."
After half an hour Steve and Bucky came to the Compound. Immediately I hugged Bucky tightly and just like that I started crying "Shh, doll! I don't want seeing you crying." Bucky said as he cupped my cheeks. "Me and Steve are here and we'll protect you and we'll get rid of Valentina. I know how HYDRA works, believe me." We sat on the table, so we can eat something. "Sweetheart." Steve said softly and the kissed me. His lips took away all my sorrows just like that and I felt safe again. "I'm sorry I left, but Fury came and told me about Bucky." "It's alright Steve. You're by my side the whole time. So what do we do now?" "First we need to find where Valentina is." Bucky said. "Did they find any other clue in the crime scene?" he asked Steve and he shook his head. "No! But maybe Fury will know more."
"No, I don't know where she might be." Fury answered us. "But lucky for you Nat called me from Nevada." Bucky smiled. "The restaurant that y/n with Bucky went is now destroyed and according to my people the fire started from the inside and they found a bucket of burnt papers and Valentina's fingertips." "I missed all the fun." I said and Steve gave me a soft gaze. "But I stole all the files from her computer. Did you find anything there?" "Yes, they're searching at this time we're talking, but Nat was faster." "My girl." Bucky said and I smiled. "Valentina is in New Jersey. The coordinates are in Camp Lehigh, well, what is left of Camp Lehigh." Steve took a breath and I held his hand. "What the hell?" Bucky whispered. "I'll give you the coordinates of this hidden underground headquarter." Fury said. "Let's go now!" I said and Steve looked at me. "Don't give that look Steve. I'm with you either you like it or not." I said. "You can't go with them." Fury said and I raised my eyebrows. "Last time I checked this whole situation matters to me too. I'm not gonna stay here doing nothing." I said. "I'm not guilty for anything now that we know Valentina is behind this. Neither Bucky is." Fury looked at Steve. "She's stubborn. You're not gonna win this." Steve said with a proud smile and I smirked. "Alright then. We need to gear you up." Fury said and I smiled widely.
Fury gave me a suit similar to Nat's, black but with red details with two thigh holsters with guns and gadgets. I put my hair in a french braid and when Fury saw me, he smiled. "Have you ever consider being a spy? A black widow?" I giggled and then I went to find Steve and Bucky.

Steve's p.o.v.
When y/n appeared my jaw dropped of how goergous and badass she was looking. "Y/n?" Bucky said shocked. "Look at you being a black widow." she smiled proudly. "Awesome, right?" she said and she did a spin. The suit was hugging perfectly her body and I couldn't help but starring. "Close your mouth, Captain." she smirked and I gulped. She knows what she does and it drives me crazy. "I go find Fury because you're about to do sinful things here." Bucky said with a smirk and I blushed. "Don't be ridiculous." y/n said and he left with a laugh. "Forget the lab robe. Now I have a thing for you wearing suits." I said and she bit her lip. "So I guess I'll ask Fury to keep it, just in case." she winked. "Oh you're definitely keeping it." I whispered and I kissed her hard. "Don't do this to me, Steve. We have an important mission and I want to be focused." "You're right! Let's finish it as soon as possible." she laughed.
