His Enchantress (Steve x Reader)

Chapter 71

For the next six weeks you monitored the team closely and worked on the data for four hours a day. You missed Steve so badly it hurt. You had the odd text, but all it said was "I love you", every single time. You knew he was fine based on the data, and the bit of stealthy camera spying you had done. He looked haggard, and it looked like the mission was taking its toll on all of them. You had outgrown any previous maternity clothes that you had come with, and the dresses your mother had lent you. The shopping trips had helped, but now autumn was in full bloom and you were sadly missing out on the fall colors back home. Pepper was showing, and Jillian just looked bloated at this point. The three of you had gone for check ups, and you got an extra picture of the triplets on every visit for later when Steve got back. You had been given the option to know what the sex of the babies were, but you declined, wanting to wait for Steve to get back to know for sure. It was important to you that you found out at the same time.

One morning when you woke up after the six week mark, you had a message on your phone from Steve simply stating "I miss you, dove". You typed out you missed him too, and took that as a sign to get out of bed. You didn't bother getting out of your new raccoon pajama's, but picked up Tibbs. Molly and Alpine jumped on your shoulders and Libby followed you down the stairs where you could hear Jillian having morning sickness since you had all run out of the Loki water. You were far enough along you just felt nauseated but it wasn't nearly as bad as it used to be. Pepper was eating oatmeal in the kitchen when you walked by. The three of you were miserable admittedly, as was Happy because he missed Aunt May. They at least had video calls and talked on the phone to make the distance seem less far.
You let Libby out after putting the cats down and putting Tibbs on a leash. Libby was already trained not to leave your sight, and was doing well with it. Tibbs played, but didn't go to the bathroom.
When you went back in, Pepper waved, but headed to the couch to rest. Jillian still wasn't out of the bathroom, so you went to the kitchen and made yourself something light for breakfast. You missed the compound and the hot breakfasts. You only really had them now when you went out, mainly because your energy seemed to almost be zapped.
You went into the office after feeding all your fur babies and sat down in the chair, loading up your laptop. You put in your credentials and checked the suits first. Everyone still seemed to be alive, which was something at least. Next you went to check the camera's, but there was nothing, it was just darkness. You frowned, thinking the feed must have been cut. Lastly you went into the data, and noticed the volume was significantly higher than it was before. You started going through the data and scrutinizing it as you went. You felt the babies kicking again, and sat back to rub your belly as though trying to soothe them. Friday was working the data the way you trained it to. It had learned from the way you worked, to work for you. You clicked on each folder and pulled data from where you could.
Something that caught your eye was a look into enhanced individuals. You started going through the list, and there were some all over the world that were known. You held your breath as you found your name on the list, along with your families name on the list and you squeaked. You had never told anyone your secret and neither had anyone in your family as far as you knew. It had been a gift that was passed down through generations. You clicked on your name and saw it had your co-ordinates, then you clicked on your family's ,and it had theirs too. Hydra knew you were in Malibu somehow. You did the only sane thing you could think of. You picked up your phone and you called your brother.
"Hey, how are you, little sister?" Eric picked up the phone. You sighed in relief hearing his voice.
"I'm twenty two weeks pregnant and about to cry. How are you?" you asked him.
"Oh I'm fine. Can't wait to see you again. When is your man bringing you again?" he asked.
"Actually, I'm asking you to come to me. Now, as in today. Bring mom, dad, and Emily" you said.
"Pretty sure I'm not hearing you right" he chuckled.
"Listen, I just found something. You know the bad guys, Hydra? They know who and WHAT we are. I need you guys to skedaddle. I'm getting the girls and Happy and we are moving too. Where do you want to meet?" you asked him. He didn't speak for a moment as though in shock.
"I better get some more farm hands and have a neighbour come check on the house" Eric said whistling for a moment. "Are you sure about this?" He sounded serious.
"As a heart attack" you confirmed.
"Well, seeing as our lines might be tapped because I trust no one... Do you remember where we used to say we wanted to go as kids? We said if there was any way we could make it we would go as adults?" he asked. You knew exactly where he was talking about.
"Keep talking," you nodded.
"Meet me at the entrance to that spot every day at noon, I'll find you. Pay in cash at hotels, and be careful. Is Steve back yet?" he asked.
"No" you said, tears welling up in your eyes.
"You better leave him a message," Eric said. "I've got you songbird. Leave a trail for them to find the data," he sounded so serious, and you knew this was a serious issue.
"I'll meet you at the end of the rainbow" you tried to joke.
"I'll be seeing you," Eric said softly.
"You better," you said and you both hung up. You jumped up, startling Tibbs and ran out to the living room where Jillian, Happy and Pepper were sitting.
"They found us, and they found my family" you said abruptly. "They have our co-ordinates, and I don't know how long we have to move."
"Hydra?" Pepper said with a high pitch.
"Yes, we gotta move," you said loudly and adding some urgency.
"Where are we gonna go?" Happy asked, seeming confused.
"Banff, Alberta" you replied.
"What's in Banff, Alberta?" Happy asked, even more confused now.
"Lake Louise and Banff National Park, in Canada. It's where my brother and I always planned to go as kids but never got to. It's the only place we both knew how to tell each other in case the phone lines were tapped, come on" you went for the stairs, with the three of them in tow. They trusted your gut, and they trusted your data.
"What if the team comes back and we aren't here" Pepper asked, a little winded as you all hit the top of the stairs.
"I'll make sure Friday knows" you said, knowing Tony would get the message. "Hey Friday, private message Tony. We are going to Banff, Alberta. We are in danger, and so is my family. I'll keep them safe." You said the promise, and you meant it. Even if that meant that Jillian found out about your ability too. Heck, you didn't care if the world found out at this point. You wanted to keep your babies and your family safe.

It wasn't long before everyone had a suitcase packed, but you knew you'd all have to get warmer clothes when you got to Canada. You also had no idea how long you'd be there for either. Would the team rescue you in time? Would Hydra actually follow through with the next mission? There were so many questions in your mind. You originally thought of the compound, but you figured that Hydra would assume that's your first place to go to. It's only being protected by the Iron Legion right now, and with the amount of forces you saw on the mission docket that was being sent out for you all on the list, there wouldn't be enough of them to help. The only logical thing to do would be to hide, and keep hiding.

You rushed downstairs, and missed the last stair and almost fell but caught yourself with your ability. You huffed and went to put each cat into a crate, as well as Tibbs. You put Libby on a leash and turned around to see everyone was ready and standing by your suitcase.
"Are you sure about this?" Jillian asked, seeming worried.
"I saw their mission docket. They are targeting here and my family, and other people that are a little bit different. Once we are safe I'll start finding ways to warn them," you replied, trying to choose your words carefully.
"What do you mean different?" she asked. You sighed, realizing you'd have to tell her.
"I'm like Wanda, it runs down my mother's line. I don't use my abilities usually, and I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I'll apologize every day if you want me to, but we've got to go" you said and she nodded.
"Seeing you doing the floating thing on the stairs makes more sense now" she shrugged and your jaw fell open. "Don't worry about it, I'll keep your secret girly" she promised.

"I'll get the door," Happy said, seeing you struggle with the crates and the dog. "Don't worry, no one else needs to know."
"Thank you" you sighed and started following him out to the garage where the car was waiting. The four of you filled the trunk and made sure there was enough room for the pets. Libby was in the back seat with you and Jillian. As soon as the car started pulling out you saw a Hydra Hummer driving down the road.
"Buckle in," Happy said as he floored it. You reached out and held Jillian's hand and Happy seemed to be used to this because he drifted around them with ease. He raced, dodging and weaving through traffic while the Hummer followed. They tried shooting out the tires, but Happy was an expert at this point. They missed him every time. Pepper was unfazed and trying to call Tony, but he wasn't answering.
Soon enough you got to the airport and Happy had made enough distance between them and you that you had time to get out, pack the jet with what little you had and get in. They drove down the gates and Happy was already taking off.
"That was close" you panted.
"Why won't he answer my messages?" Pepper growled.
"Tony might be a black zone where there's no reception. We just need to be patient. They'll find us. Or it could be Hydra and they were blocking our cell signals while Happy was driving" you said, trying to think it through. "More than likely a black zone" you tried to make her feel better.
"I'm turning on the cloaking device. We didn't exactly follow protocol just now" Happy advised all of you. You sighed and sat back rubbing your belly, thinking that Steve just couldn't find you fast enough.
