The Demigod From Asgard - A Steve Rogers x Reader Story

Chapter 22: Get with the program Cap

Warnings: Angst! Fluff! Slow burnn!

When they got back to SHIELD it was late in the evening. Steve helped get all the hostages back and to the med bay to check for injuries. After doing a quick debrief with Strike, Steve went to go find Fury.

"Is the director still here?" Steve questions one of the agents sat at the desks nearby.

"No, he just left" the agent says quickly.

Steve huffs in annoyance before heading down to the garage to grab his bike.

Once he got back to his apartment he quickly stripped off his suit hopping straight into the shower. He hoped that it would help calm him down, but he just grew more and more agitated at the director. Steve was supposed to be leading that mission, how could he lead it effectively if his team had secret missions of their own. If something had gone wrong because of it, if lives had been lost, it would have been on Steve's conscience.

Getting out of the shower he quickly dried off grabbing a pair of sweatpants and climbing into bed. As he did so he grabbed his phone noticing a text from you.

Msg from Y/N: I know you probably won't get this but stay safe, I'll need you in one piece for our trip tomorrow x

Steve smiles to himself looking down at your message, glancing at the time he sees that it isn't too late. So he decides to give you a call, just wanting to hear your voice.

"Hey I didn't expect to hear from you until tomorrow" you say when you answer.

"I know I'm sorry I know it's late I just-"he sighs shaking his head slightly feeling guilty about calling you so late.

"Hey no it's fine, how did the mission go?" You ask him.

"Good we got all the hostages, no casualties, the main pirate got away though" he sighed.

"Well it's good no one got hurt, are you alright Steve it sounds like something's bothering you" you say making him let out a small huff of a laugh.

You always knew when something was bothering him, you didn't even need to see or hear him. You just knew. It was one of the things Steve liked the most about you.

"Nat had a side mission I didn't know about. To collect SHIELD intel for whatever reason. But it left us a man down to protect the hostages while we still had hostiles in play. Not to mention because of it the room me and her were in got bombed by Batroc" Steve sighs resting his head back against the headboard.

"Oh, yeah that's not helpful when you're leading a mission. Are you alright though you're not hurt are you?" You question.

"No I'm fine little sore from the blast but I'll be back to normal by the morning" Steve says hearing you sigh in relief.

"Good but if you need the day to recover I'm fine pushing our trip back" you offer.

"No I'll be fine don't worry, I do have to speak to Fury though but I'll go in early to do that. Skip my morning run, and I'll meet you by the Smithsonian?" Steve suggests.

"Yeah sounds great, you rest up okay and I'll see you tomorrow" you tell him.

"Will do, you too, see you tomorrow" Steve smiles before hanging up the phone.

The next morning Steve went straight to Fury's office. He had hoped that his anger would have lessened after a good nights sleep, but he didn't get that, lying in bed staring at the ceiling for a good portion of the night seething. So as he stalked through the corridors of the Triskelion agents and officer jumped out of his path as he stormed to Fury's office.
