Chapter 73: Get This Man A Shield

Warnings: Angst! Infinity War Plot! Language! Grief!

When you woke up you were surprised to find Steve wasn't home yet, his side of the bed stone cold making his absence even more present. You sigh looking up at the ceiling tiredly, rubbing your forehead trying to tell yourself that everything was fine. That feeling in your gut was nothing, Steve was perfectly fine.

Pushing yourself out of bed you started the routine of the day, having a quick shower before getting dressed and getting JJ up. As you gave him breakfast you tried not to keep looking over at the door waiting to see Steve walk through. As the hours went on you only became more worried, debating whether to alert T'Challa and asking him to find out what was wrong. You just focussed on JJ watching him toddle around playing with his toys, smiling at him whenever he showed you something.

When your phone rang you practically dived for it "Steve? are you okay? Where are you?" you ask quickly.

"Hey, I'm fine, we're about to head back to Wakanda now" Steve sighs and you can instantly tell something wasn't right.

"what's wrong?" you ask him as you pick JJ up putting him in his playpen so you could focus on Steve.

You hear him chuckle weakly "I can never hide anything from you" he sighs.

"there's this guy, called Thanos he was behind the New York attack and now he's collecting all the infinity stones, he's already got the power and space, we have to assume he's got the others the only one left is the mind stone" Steve explains making you sigh.

"Vision, is he okay?" you ask rubbing your forehead.

"he's hurt but he's fine, the plan is to get the stone out and destroy it, we're bringing him to Wakanda to do so," Steve tells you.

"there's a fight coming isn't there?" you ask with a sigh glancing over at JJ.

"yes, and it's gonna be ten times worse than anything else we've ever faced so I need you to tell T'Challa so he can prepare, then get somewhere safe for you and JJ" Steve tells you.

"Okay I will, is there anything else I need to know?" you ask him.

"yes, Bruce told me a couple of things, but it's better he explained it in person" Steve sighs sadly.

"Bruce?" you ask confused.

"Yeah, we've got a couple of old friends joining us" Steve explains.

"Okay, well I'll see you later then," you say forcing a small smile.

"See you later, I love you," Steve says making you actually smile even if it was still small.

"I love you too" you smile before hanging up.

You run your hands over your face tiredly, your gut feeling was right, there was something horribly wrong. At least you knew Steve was okay, for now. There was a fight coming and while you were seriously out of practice, this wasn't a fight you could stay out of. You stood up picking JJ up from his playpen making him whine about being taken away from his toys.

"Sorry bean but we've got to go see uncle T'Challa" you sigh heading out of your apartment.

You found T'Challa standing in the throne room talking to his mother and Okoye, when he saw you approach, he frowned seeing the concerned look on your face. He excused himself walking over to you and putting a hand on your shoulder.

"What's wrong?" He asks you.

"A fight's coming, a big one, Steve asked me to warn you so you could get ready" You explain sighing deeply.
