Avengers Imagines

Knight in Shining Sportswear- Pietro Maximoff

(Female Reader)

Warnings: Harassment, physical assault

It was late. Really late. There were no cabs to be seen, or people for that matter. You had just gotten off of work, the night shift, and you were walking underneath a full moon along with the city lights. The cold air and ghostly light made you on edge enough as it was, and the almost dead silence wasn't helping. 

The only faint sound was your own shoes clicking on the pavement, and your accelerating heartbeat echoing in your ears. New York City wasn't exactly the safest place, and in the middle of the night, it was only worse. You were relatively new to the area and weren't entirely sure as to which way was your apartment. The more turns you took, the more lost you became. 

A car whizzed quickly by you, shattering the silence and sending a chill down your spine. You paused, taking a nervous sigh, and looked at the street signs. None of the names seemed familiar. "Great..." you sighed. A cold wind swept through the unfamiliar street, but that wasn't nearly as chilling as what happened after.

"What's a pretty girl like you doing out all by yourself?" A spine chilling voice froze your veins as you whipped around to face a hooded figure about five or six feet back. Your body was stiff with fear, but you weren't going to show it. You took a few steps back while slowly reaching in your bag, and the stranger mirrored your steps. 

"Apparently being hit on by assholes," you said, unconvincingly, through your teeth.

He quickly reached out to grab you, but you thought ahead. Acting as quick as you could, you pulled out your hand, which was holding pepper spray. The satisfying sound of a spray sent a feeling of safety through you, along with the sound of his cries of pain. He backed away, holding his face and cursing, and you turned to sprint the other way. 

You couldn't get farther than two steps before a tall, tense mass blocked your path. Another mysterious figure grabbed your wrists with such strength, you almost cried out in pain. Almost. This new attacker was easily 6'4" and much stronger than you. 

Between the two of them, they grabbed your arms and legs, despite your kicking and fighting. You tried to scream, but before a word could escape your mouth, a hand was blocking any and all sound. The two attackers dragged you into an alley and your thoughts darkened. Although, your foot came into contact with the shorter one's nose, which sent some promise through you. 

"Bitch..." he muttered as a steady stream of blood was already pouring from his nose. A spark of hope ignited your mind, and you though maybe, just maybe you could get out of this. That was quickly obliterated when you felt a piece of cool, sharp metal against your throat. You instantly stiffened a bit, feeling your breathing intensify.

The taller one kept a hold on your arms, keeping them above your head and pinned to a brick wall, while the shorter one grabbed your bag with his hand not occupied by a knife. A single tear rolled down your face, and dripped off your clenched jaw. 

Suddenly, a powerful gust of...wind? flashed through the alley, and the shorter attacker was on his back. Then, another gust but this one looked like a flash of silver, from you could see in the darkness. This time, the taller stranger was on the ground, and you were free. Your first thought was to run, get the hell out of there. And that's exactly what you did. You grabbed your bag from the ground and ran towards the entrance of the alley, but only until an hand grabbed your ankle. 

Your whole body hurled to the ground, and you instantly felt a sharp pain on your forehead where it bit the pavement. Looking back, you saw one of the attackers looking pissed, but still having a tight grip on your ankle. It took you a moment to react, with the adrenaline pulsing through your veins, but someone already beat you to it. Another flash of silver, and a guy appeared in running pants and a long sleeve shirt, who kicked the attacker hard in the stomach. The grip on your ankle released, but you were too mesmerized by this new stranger to run.

His dull silver hair shimmered in the moonlight, and though it was dark, his blue eyes were noticeable. He turned to you, not even looking out of breath, and you felt nothing from comfort. "Th-thank you. Who...who are you?" Your voice was barely above a shocked whisper.

He flashed a grin that made your heart race and took a step towards you. "My pleasure. I'm Pietro and-" he was cut off when a painful groan came from one of the attackers. "And we should get you out of here." He moved quickly, almost too quickly, and picked you up bridal style. Before you could realize it, he was sprinting away with you in his arms. Then, you were in a well lit, better part of New York City, that you knew. In a blink of an eye, just like that.  

 Pietro, as he had introduced himself, set you down gently, but you almost collapsed from surprise. "How, how did you...?" You were dumbfounded. He had run across town in seconds. 

He smirked again, and looked up at you with those blue eyes that made your knees weak. "It is a very long story." Had he always had a sexy Russian accent? Maybe you just didn't notice it in the rush of things, but it was definitely worth noticing. His face dropped a little and his gaze was fixed on your forehead. "You're bleeding."

Your hand immediately went up to your forehead, where the pavement had ripped open your skin. The pain had been numbed by adrenaline before, but you could feel a harsh sting. You sighed from the shock of it all, and post frightened tears started leaking from your closed eyes. Suddenly, you felt a hand on your cheek and heard comforting words.

"Hey, hey, it is alright," Pietro soothed. You opened your eyes to see a concerned look on his face. It became easier to take deep breaths with his gentle hand on your cheek, wiping away tears gently. "I could help you clean up, if you want?" He smiled a most adorable smile, and you nodded almost instantly.
