Our War ★ Steve Rogers [5] ✓

Four

A.N. Guys I am so sorry for not updating for sooo long. I haven't been myself lately. My inspiration has just been not there and my motivation has been low. Plus my pet died on Thursday so I was too sad to update this weekend. 

I'm better now and ready to go. This chapter will be my own idea as Civil War will come into play next chapter. 

---------------------------

I arrived back at HQ not long after leaving Matt and just a took a few days to myself. I regret going to see Frank as it just made it worse for the both of us. But I do still worry. I can't help it.

I sighed as I scrolled through an article about Frank's sentence. He was in prison now and would be for a long time. I shouldn't be worrying about him. He's dealt with now, there's not much I can do.

"Hey honey." Steve walked into my office, paperwork in hand. I shut the article and said to myself to not look at it again. As much as I hate to say it, Frank isn't my problem.

"Hey." I smiled up at him. I really am lucky to have Steve back with me.

"You seem happier. Everything good?" He asked, taking a seat on the couch and spreading the papers he had out on the coffee table.

"Yeah. We're good. What's with the papers?" I asked.

"Well you know we're getting married, right?" He asked in a joking tone. I nodded. "Well, these are bakers that could possibly make our cake. They're offering to do whatever so if you have a design in mind then we could make a decision by that." I narrowed my eyes at him questioningly.  "Pepper and Nat have been informing me about wedding stuff. Pepper also gave me recommendations for bakers. I thought it would be nice just to spend some time planning some parts. If you want that is." I smiled at my future husband and got up, making my way over to him on the coach. I sat next to him and kissed his cheek.

"I'd love to." He smiled down at me and told me about the first bakery. We didn't need to make a decision right away because we didn't have a date yet, so we just looked and talked about it.

"All this talk about cake is making me hungry. Should I go to the store and get some cupcakes?" I asked, about an hour into cake talking. Steve huffed and leaned back in his seat.

"Go on then. And get the one's with silver balls. I like them." He told me as I got up, grabbing my phone and some money from my desk.

"Of course. I'll be back in a bit." I pecked him on his lips once more before heading out. I arrived at the store not long after and headed for the cupcakes. As I looked my phone went off, I smiled thinking it was Steve, but my smile soon faded away. It was the Secretary of State Ross. 

"We need to talk. Swing by as soon as you can." Was all he said.

I knew what he wanted me for so quickly grabbed and paid for the cupcakes. I headed home and put the cupcakes in the kitchen before I headed straight to see him. I decided to take my car instead of my bike. The bike was mainly for missions.

I arrived not long after, and headed straight for his office. He seemed to be expecting me as his assistant let me into his office.

"Miss Gomez here for you sir." His assistant informed him. Ross was looking out towards New York with hands in his pockets. His assistant soon left us to talk.

"I assume you know why I called you here." He turned to me and I nodded.

"The accords I'm guessing." It wasn't really a guess, I knew it was the accords.

"You guess correct. The accords are ready. We just need you and your team to agree and sign them. But I'm sure that won't be too easy. I'll be coming to Avengers Tower to talk to your team about the accords. In the meantime, I'll be sharing the accords around the world. If the countries want to sign, they will, and you know what you must do if they all sign." I knew some of the team wouldn't agree to these accords, but if they can see that the world wants them, how can they say no? "Until then, it's a waiting game. You're dismissed." He turned back around to look out window, showing me I could leave. I headed out straight away and back to HQ.

The accords were controversial and I know some of the team won't agree to them. But we've been freelancing for years, many innocent people have died because we work freely. Too many people have suffered because of us. It time to change it, and get the trust of the world back.

Once I arrived back at HQ, I headed straight to the kitchen to get the cupcakes I bought earlier. It seemed Steve had found them as he was stuffing hid face with one, along with Sam, who was also stuffing his face with one.

"You better have left one for me." I said as I walked in.

"Of course." Steve held out a cupcake for me, allowing me to take it. I took one bite of it and I was already in cake heaven.

"So, Nat told me you have your dress. Can I see it?" Sam asked, taking another bite of his cupcake.

"Nope. Only for us girls to see." I told him, and he seemed offended by that.

"No fair. I ain't the groom, let me see it." He argued.

"No can do. You could tell him anything about it." I pointed to Steve as I said 'him'. I couldn't trust Sam with the details.

"How dare you suggest that. At least let me have a peak at the top." Sam tried his best to get through to me, but I wasn't having it.

"Nope."

"Oh come on, just a little tiny peak. Just a tiny..."

"No Sam. Not even a tiny peak." I said to him and he frowned.

"You're marrying a mean woman." Sam shoved the last bit of cupcake in his mouth before walking off in a huff.

"At least you're not me! I can't see it till the actual day!" Steve shouted after his friend. Sam ignored him and kept on walking. Steve then turned to me and smiled. "But I'm sure it will be worth it." He reassured me with a smile. I smiled back and couldn't help but go up to him and hug him. My future husband, friends and the safety of the people of this world are all that matter to me now. If anyone tries to take them away from me, I will stop at nothing to keep them with me.

"Ashley, do you know a man called Brock Rumlow?" Tony walked in, sporting his white lab coat. My attention turned on as soon as he said Brock's name.

"Yes, why?" I asked in urgency.

"He's been seen in Lago's, and I hear he's planning to steal a biological weapon. We should move fast before he get's his hand on it." Tony informed.

"Of course. Friday, sound the alarm." The Avengers alarm blared through the entire building, allowing all members of the team that we had a mission. Once everyone arrived, Tony explained the situation to us all and we all agreed we needed to stop him.

"We all understand?" I asked the team and they all nodded. "All right, let's suit up." We all separated and suited up. Brock used to be my friend, but that was until I found out he was HYDRA. And we got on so well. Dick.

Hopefully this will go well and help the public restore trust in us.

A.N. I'm sorry if this chapter is a bit weird, I'm trying me best to get back on track but it's hard when depression is knocking on my door everyday and wanting to come in. I'm staying strong for you guys but it's hard to. I'll be hoping to get better so I can keep updating for you guys.

As suspected for this updates will be slow because of my mental health. I know I've said in a status that I may be quitting Wattpad but I'm not sure yet. I want to get this series done before I think about it doing it.
