The Winged (Avengers x Reader x Supernatural)

Chapter 14

You had been spending a lot of time with Tony. Sam and Dean were initially the only ones who knew about your powers and with them them being in Kansas most of the time, it was nice to find someone whom you could be yourself with.

More often than not, you would drop by at the Stark Tower straight after work, always making sure beforehand that you wouldn't run into Steve.

Tony picked up on this pattern when he noticed that you always made some kind of an excuse to not come over when you knew Steve was around. So he started staying back from the missions that didn't make it very high up on the priority list.

He loved spending time with you. There was something about you, though he couldn't quite put a finger on it. He was absolutely mesmerized by the intricate movements your fingers made while you manipulated things with your mind.

Steve hadn't seen you ever since the 'incident'. He never caught a glimpse of you in the hallways and you hadn't answered any of his calls, texts or knocks on your door. That didn't stop him from talking about you over and over again, even while he was on a mission. And there was only so much the team could hear in regards to how wonderful your smile was or how your eyes sparkled all the time or how cute you looked in space buns.

"This is ridiculous, alright." Clint threw his hands up in exasperation. Steve had got lost in telling another one of your stories during the team was on a stakeout and the archer had had enough. "You like her. You do realize that?"

"What? I-I-I..." Steve's face took the color of a tomato. "Yes."

"Does she realize that?" Natasha's focus hadn't deviated from her target but apparently she was listening in on the conversation. "There was this one time we kissed...." Steve was now beginning to wonder whether the team knowing about his crush was in his best interests.

"You WHAT?" Bucky now turned completely so he could face Steve. "It wasn't a kiss kiss. More of an accident really." Steve's face was heating up.

"Does she still talk to you?" Bucky's interest was more in the conversation than the mission itself and when Steve nodded in reply Bucky had accepted the fact that he wouldn't be much of an asset to the team in this particular assignment as his reality. "You're too stupid, punk. You're gonna ask her out?"

"I don't even know if she feels the same way about me! Wanda, can't you just read her mind and double check for me? Please?" This was the perfect moment for Steve to misuse those big blue eyes of his.

"Believe me, I have tried. And failed. Her conscious bars my entry." Wanda sighed. "Wait, is that even possible?" Albeit not first hand, Clint had seen Wanda's powers at play. He couldn't quite adjust to the fact that they had failed against someone.

"Doesn't matter." Bucky chimed in, "That's wasn't a question. You're gonna ask her out."

-

Since it had been two months since he last saw you and with you not answering any of his calls, texts or knocks, Steve didn't think it would be very fruitful to stalk you until he had you curbed and then confess his feelings for you. So he went with the next best thing.

"Go for Dean Winchester."

"Hey, Dean. It's Steve." Dean's features stiffened when he heard the voice at the other end of the line.

"What do you want?"

"I was...I was wondering if you could talk to (Y/N). She's been avoiding m-"

"Here's the thing." Dean was now seeing red. "She was almost..." He swallowed a lump in his throat, just now realizing that he couldn't bring himself to say those exact words. "There was this guy who had her cornered and it wasn't the most ideal of situations. Nothing happened, she's fine. Point is, she really needed you to be there for her and we all saw how you nailed that. Now, I know I don't stand a single chance against you but it wouldn't be unlike me die trying. You stay away from (Y/N), you hear me?"

Steve opened his mouth to justify himself, to ask if you were okay, to enquire about the extent to which he had messed up, but before he could utter a single word, he heard the beep of a disconnected line.
