The Demigod From Asgard - A Steve Rogers x Reader Story

Chapter 50: Magic Mistletoe

Warnings: Fluff! Angst! Grief! Talk of Depression! Alcohol Consumption

The holiday period rolled around quickly this year. Since it was the first year at the compound, the entire place was fully decked out. Tony pulling out all the stops despite not being there the majority of the time.

The place actually looked magical. A good covering of snow everywhere with warm fairy lights around the columns and along the walls. Whenever you stepped outside of an evening it would always make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. You definitely loved celebrating the holidays.

You were walking down one of the corridors, tablet in hand reading about one of your teams most recent missions, humming Christmas songs as you went.

"Oh Mrs Rogers may I speak with you?" Vision said grabbing your attention as you walked past.

"Please call me Y/N Vision" you smile turning to the android "what can I do for you?"

"It is actually quite a sensitive matter, may we discuss it in private?" Vision asks making your furrow your brows slightly in concern.

"Yeah of course no problem, let's go to my office" you say nodding your head towards your office.

Once inside you gesture for him to sit on the couch as you put your tablet down on your desk. As you head over to the couch you pass the small end table where there were some drinks.

"You want a glass of water?" You offer as you pour yourself one.

"No, I don't think that would mix well with my internal electrics" Vision says casually.

"Oh, right yeah I keep forgetting about that" you say moving to sit down on the couch.

"So what's up?" You ask turning to face him.

"I have some concerns about Wanda" Vision starts his brows furrowing slightly.

"Okay what about?" You ask, as far as you were aware her training was going perfectly, and you hadn't notice anything of concern.

"Well I fear she may be suffering from depression leading up to the holiday period" Vision explains.

"We had spoken previously about her grief following her brother's death and I thought she was getting better however-" Vision continues.

"It's the first time she'll be celebrating without Pietro" you sigh sadly as you put the pieces together.

"Precisely, I have tried talking to her but it doesn't seem to be working, and I'm at a loss as to what to do" Vision explains.

"Of course, well thank you for letting me know I'll try to talk to her or something, shared experience and all that" you sigh sending a small smile vision's way.

"Thank you Y/N, I'm sure Wanda will appreciate it, let me know if there's anything I can do" Vision says standing up.

"I will, thanks again Vision" You smile as he heads out of your office.

You take a deep breath letting out a long sigh as you rested your chin in your hand. You knew how sensitive the situation was, especially since Pietro was her twin. You couldn't imagine losing someone that was part of you.

You decided to wait and try and think of the best way to bring it up, and what you should say. Sitting down at your desk to hopefully try and get some work done at the same time.

You hadn't realised how much time had passed until you heard a gentle knock at the door. Looking up you spotted Steve stood leaning against the door frame, arms crossed a warm smile on his face.
