Sweet As Sugar

Part 32; The Steamy Obsession⚠️

~Y/N's Pov~
~⚠️Smut warning⚠️~

They're staring at me like I've done something terrible. Everyone in shocked as they saw the lifeless body of Joey in front of me. The fact that I'm covered in his blood doesn't make it easier. It makes it look like I did this horrific thing. Danny, he was angry that he lost another one of his friends. Again, the murderer only went for somebody Danny knew, and it won't be long until he has nobody left to know. Danny passed me furiously, bumping into my shoulder as I shamefully looked down at the ground with Joey's blood dripping off my hands. I couldn't stop the murder...if only I was here a bit earlier.

"Why!" Danny screamed. We all could hear his voice break. I turn around, seeing him kneeling over the dead body, hanging his head as he sobs. Julia came behind him and rubbed his back, giving her husband sympathy. Her sympathetic look immediately faded away once she twisted her head towards me, "You!..." She rasped. I frown. "You were here! Your hands are covered in his blood. You did it!"

My jaw fell open, "Me!?" We kept fighting over everyones voices until Nat stepped in front of me, a white robe wrapped around her.
She growled, "Enough." Surprisingly, it got Julia to stop talking, yet she still sent daggers into my eyes.

There was tension in the quiet air, some whispers from guests, but that was it. Tony was thinking hardly, it seemed, as he stroked his beard. Thor was feeling pity for Danny along with everyone else who had tears in their eyes.

"Don't be retarded. Y/N didn't do this. We're the ones that's helping to catch the murderer." I was surprised when I heard the serious voice of Bucky. Although, I was grateful he took my side.

Danny grinned his teeth together and jumped up, Julia stumbling back. "Yeah! You're here to help us catch the murderer! But the Avengers ain't doing shit!" He screamed, pointing right at Bucky's face, which caught him off guard. Steve pushed Danny's hand away from Bucky, "I'm sorry, but should we rather get the police to solve this? I'm sure they will take all of you into custody to investigate." Steve sassed, and there was silence, Danny gulped. "No? That's what I thought." Steve sternly replied.

Clint took out his phone, "I'll call Fury to take care of the body." "Why bother? It's 1 in the morning, and they'll still be asleep." Nat spoke silently, but it didn't stop Clint from walking to the side with his phone brought up to his ear.

"Avengers, meeting now. My room." Tony spoke, "Everyone else, lock yourselves in the room."

As the guests started walking away, Julia purposely bumped into my shoulder. I look back and watch her walk off with Danny. "Hey, don't worry about her." Nat whispered, her hand placing on my lower back. "Why would she accuse me of the murder?" I mumbled, following Nat inside Tony's room behind Bucky.

"Maybe she saw your hands, I mean- it is covered in blood, and you were the first one to see it." Thor replied, and I sighed. "Oh, sorry, lady Y/N I'm making it sound like you actually did it." He laughed but quickly cleared his throat once Nat gave him a death stare.

"Don't worry, Y/N. We know you didn't do it." Steve said, folding his arms and leaning against the desk. I slowly nod my head, sitting down on the couch as Nat stands beside me.

I look down to the dried up blood across my hand and sigh. Julia accused me. Does she hate me?

We had some time discussing over and over again of what we found so far, and that's almost nothing. I told them every moment what happened when I saw Joey's body on the ground, I told them about the figure that I saw who most likely killed him. We definitely picked up that the murderer strikes in the night. We went detail after detail, co-operating who was very suspicious and that was Killua, Julia's brother. Killua was the last one to come when I shouted for help, and he wasn't even the furthest away.
When we were done organizing a plan of action for when the sun rises, we left Tony's room. The other's are probably going to stay up and think a lot more, but it's 3:30 in the morning and I'm sure the guests went to sleep again or stayed up also because they all are traumatized.
