And Then I Wrote Marvel

Save Me (dad!Steve Rogers x Reader) *

Round 12 of DisneyWorldInfoQueen 's contest. It's back on, kiddos!

"(Y/N)."

You were off in your own world, unable to hear your father trying to catch your attention. Focusing had been hard lately. It was your inability to pay attention that had almost cost you your life on a mission yesterday, but luckily, Captain America had stepped in.

Not your dad--Captain America. There was a big difference.

"(Y/N)?"

Your dad was your favorite person. The father-daughter relationship was healthy and well kept. You had traditions full of ice cream, chocolate, movies, and lunch dates, no matter the time of the month. You could tell him anything, and had told you everything. There weren't secrets between you two.

"(Y/N)!"

You looked up innocently to meet the eyes of Captain America, a man that you could honestly say that you hated.

"(Y/N), what was the last thing that I said?" Cap asked you accusingly.

"Something about how I'm careless in the field and need to pay more attention to my surroundings?" you said hopefully.

He let out a sigh, and his face dropped into his hand. "(Y/N), that was five minutes ago."

"I guess I was spacing," you apologized.

"No kidding," he scoffed. "This is just like yesterday."

"What happened yesterday?" Natasha asked.

"You said that you wouldn't tell anyone!" you whined.

"It came up, so I had to say something," he justified.

"Yeah, because you brought it up."

"Rogers!" Sam shouted, knowing that it would shut both of you up. "Tell us what happened yesterday. We have the right to know."

"You want to tell them, (Y/N)?" Cap gave you the chance.

Given the lump forming in your throat, you didn't trust yourself to speak. You shook your head, staring down and the table.

"She almost got herself killed," he summed up. He didn't say anything after that, leaving the details to the imagination. No one else was much help, as they had all gone silent. "Right, so, other than that, mission accomplished?" he tried to move on.

"You can't just say something like that and not give us details," Rhodey frowned.

"It's like just now. She can't focus for more than five minutes at a time before she goes to la la land."

"Context?" Wanda demanded.

"I found her just staring at a time bomb, watching the clock tick down," he explained.

"That's not what was going on!" you shouted suddenly, not caring about the quality of your voice.

"Then tell me what was!" Cap fired back.

"What does it even matter? It's not like you're going to listen to me," you stated. Unable to take anymore of the soldier that replaced your father, you stood up and stormed out of the meeting room, blinking back tears.

"We're not done yet!" he called after you.

"I am," you grumbled to yourself. You went up to your room and told FRIDAY not to let anyone in without your permission.
--
Tony graciously offered to take you to school the next morning. You didn't know whether or not to be relieved that you didn't have to face your father, but you didn't know which side of him you'd see. Captain America would just criticize you some more, while Steve would insist that he was the one to blame.
