Marvel Imagines/Smuts

Together~Stephen >requested<

*request by bestie StarkSimp *

T'Challas parents are abusive in this one, i do not see them that way it was just what was requested. If you don't like that don't read :) also, takes place during the blip, Stephen doesn't get snapped.

"T'Challa?" Valerie stared in horror as her brother turned to dust. She ran to him, his hand reaching out but he was quickly blown away before she could get to him.
"No..." She turned to Thor angrily, passing the other Avengers who stood and watched.
"What did you do? What did you do!" She pushed the god and hit his chest, tears streaming down her face. Steve rushed over to her and pulled her off. She pushed away from him and looked at the group. Her chest heaving with anger and sadness. She turned around and built up her anger into her palms, yelling as she projects ice out of her hands. She freezes the tall trees that surrounded them, her power being an outlet for her rage. Valerie falls to the floor, crying silently as Natasha comes over and comforts her. But it wasn't the same. It wasn't like How T'Challa comforted her.

-Flash Back-

"You're a disgrace!" Valeries mother smacked her and she fell to the floor.
"Your powers are to be concealed. No one should know!" Ramonda shouted.
"I-I'm sorry...it won't happen again." Her daughter cried.
T'Challa rushed in after hearing yelling and saw his dear sister on the floor.
"Leave her alone!" He rushed to her and bent down to shield her. Ramonda scoffed.
"You two are disappointments. You're supposed to be king and look at you, caring for the weak." She lifted her hand and T'Challa flinched. His mother chuckled and backed away.
"You are weak." She left the room and T'Challa helped up his sister.
"Are you okay?" He brushed her hair away.
"I'm fine. You shouldn't have said anything, moms going to tell dad. He'll be furious you stepped in."
"He can't do anymore damage than he already did last night."
"What did you do?"
"I dropped the fork at dinner." He chuckled and showed the bruises on his arm from his fathers grip. She placed her hand in it and gave him a sympathetic look. T'Challa helped her to her room and sat with her for a bit to make her feel better. The two were always there for each other, nothing could come between them, at least that's what they thought.

-Flash Forward-

Valerie sat on the roof of the Avengers compound, she fiddled with her kimoya beads. She hit the bead and it sent a calling signal to T'Challa's beads. A tear fell as the call went dead. Ending the signal she pulled off her bracelet and threw it off the roof. She put her head onto her knees and let out a sigh. It had been 4 years and they were no closer to figuring out how to get everyone back. She heard wind flapping against something and looked up to find Stephen hovering with the bracelet in his hand.
"Drop something?" He landed onto the roof and sat down next to her, handing her the beads. They sat in silence until Stephen spoke up.
"I know it's hard. I'm sorry for what happened."
She turned her head to him.
"You gave away that stone. Thor didn't kill Thanos. I couldn't protect my brother. We all have a part to play in our defeat." She looked back forward.
"You know, ever since I was a kid my parents told me I was a disgrace to the family. They would say I wouldn't be able to protect our people." She looked at her hand and scoffed.
"I guess they were right." She swung her hand and froze the pond below them. She put her hand into her lap and laid back. Stephen copied her movements and laid beside her.

"You aren't a disgrace Valerie."
"Ha, sure."
"I'm serious. And if T'Challa were here he'd agree with me."
She stared up to the sky, the stars twinkled happily, the complete opposite of how Valerie felt at the moment.
"I'll never see him again...will I?" She whispered.
Stephen reached over and held her hand.
"You will. I promise. I will do anything to get him back to you." He comforted her. She glanced at his face then their hands. She felt a familiar feeling, the calm, protective, warm feeling she got when T'Challa comforted her. She had been a wreck for years with no one to calm her but now, she found her comfort again.
"Valerie.." He moved his hand to make her look up at him again.
"We'll get through this. Together."
She put her hand on his and smiled for the first time in 4 years.
"Together."
