Moving Forward (Scott Lang x Stark! Reader)

You had been skilled at hacking and building machines since you were a kid. When SHIELD caught wind of your abilities they quickly tried to recruit you at the age of 25.

Reluctant, you agreed. It wasn't long before you had tried to hack their servers. Did is more accurate, it had been fun to get past all their firewalls and passcodes, and pretty easy too.

They should have expected it but didn't. After they caught you hacking, you were given a stern warning. You didn't listen. You wanted to know all their secrets. Within a week, you'd hacked them again so you were locked in an empty room for several days before Nick Fury came to get you.

As usual he was calm. "I'm afraid that you are fired and will be moved to a secure prison soon. If you hadn't just hacked us again, I would keep you and put your talent to use. Sadly, you're a security risk."

You didn't see him again. You were transferred to a prison where you were in a cell across from a man named Scott Lang. He was nice, and your only real friend there. Mainly, you were happy to have someone else there to talk tech to and well just to talk to. He understood the mechanics of things which overjoyed you.

You grew close and as you learned about his family situation you felt for him. You even offered him a place to stay after he got out.

When the day came, you and Scott were released together. You thankfully had thought to call ahead and have one of your family's drivers waiting outside in a brand new jaguar.

Upon arriving, he couldn't get over how big your house was. Sure you had some money, but you usually didn't give that information out. Only your closest friends knew.

He lived happily there, still missing his family and trying to find a job so that he could pay child support. When you heard that he'd been fired again, you offered him money and a job at a big software company. Your sister was in charge of it and she owed you a favor anyway.

Scott looked like he wanted to take it but refused. "I want to show them that I can do this on my own."

~oOo~

Months later Scott got fired again and didn't come back for several days. You were out of your mind with worry and wanted to know where he was. That was when you got the call. Scott was in jail again for stealing and had just escaped.

You immediately slipped on your coat and opened went towards the police station. You didn't make it out the door because when you swung it open, you saw Scott. He was standing there with his hand raised to knock on the door.

"Hey, (y/n)."

He stopped as you slapped him. The sound sliced through the empty air. "How could you go steal again? I tried offering you a job and a place to stay."

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to see my little girl again. I didn't want to ask you again because I had already refused your offer and I didn't want you to think that I'd given up."

"But you did give up by stealing. I would have been more than happy to help you out if you had simply asked. I'll still help you. You are one of my closest friends and I want to be there for you when you need it."

"Thank you, (y/n). You are truly the best friend I could ask for."

~oOo~

After you gave him money and a job he was able to go home and see is family. You were sad to see him go but you wanted him to be happy.

Scott stood on the doorstep ready to see his daughter again. He had risked so much to get her back but something seemed to be missing. He shrugged it off before going inside.

"Daddy! You're home!" She jumped into Scotts arms.

"I love you so much sweetie." He said hugging her tightly. He set her down and she led him to the dining room where there was dinner laid out on the table.

"Glad you could make it for dinner." A voice rang out from the kitchen. "Take a seat."

Looking at the dinner and his daughter he had to make a decision. Something still seemed to be missing, you. "Actually I just dropped to say hi, I need to be somewhere."

He picked up his daughter and whispered to her "I love you Sweetie. Your father has something he has to go do so he'll see you soon, okay?" she nodded enthusiastically.

~oOo~

You heard a knock on your door and you quickly went to check it. Opening the door you saw Scott.

"I thought you were with your family this evening."

"I was but I couldn't stop thinking about you. I love you (y/n)." He pressed his lips gently against yours. You were surprised but didn't pull away. Instead, you intensified the kiss.

When you pulled away you stared at each other for a brief moment before laughing.

You were just so happy to see him. You let him inside and closed the door behind him so that it was just you and him alone in the big house.
