It Started With A Mission (Captain America X Child Reader)

Part 3

Steve could once again smell the amazing breakfast that was coming from the kitchen, and he already knew who made it. When he came down, only Tony and Bruce were down in the kitchen, waiting for (y/n) to be done cooking. When Steve walked in, the (h/c) haired girl hit Tony’s hand with a wooden spoon leaving a loud smack sound. “Geese kid, cant I have a small taste!” Tony exclaimed at the child. “That’s her way of saying be patient” Bruce said taking a sip of his coffee. “I'll say” Steve said as he walked in. “Why hello capsicle” Tony said, glaring at the child. “Hi Tony. You tried to sneak a quick taste huh?” Steve asked with a small smile. “She needs to know that she can't wack me, tell her!” Tony exclaimed, pointing at (y/n) who was still cooking. “(Y/n),” Steve said sternly, gaining her attention. He saw fear flash quickly in her eyes and he felt bad. “Make sure to hit him a bit harder next time he tries that again” Steve said, smiling kindly. (Y/n)’s eye sparkled and she smiled brightly, nodding her head. “Gee, thanks” Tony said sarcastically, rolling his eyes. “To be fair, you were impatient and almost contaminated the waffle batter” Bruce said, smiling at the scene. “Great, everybody go against the billionaire here. I only pay the bills for this place” Tony saud as he got a coffee mug and poured the coffee into the mug. “Exactly” Bruce said. Everybody's heads turned when they heard the waffle iron sizzle, (y/n) pouring the batter. “Oh my word! When will you be done with breakfast women! Were all starving” Tony told the small child who only shrugged her shoulder. “Gah!” Tony said turning to sit down at the dinning table. (Y/n) continued to make the waffles as the rest of the group came in. “Hello Lady (y/n)” Thor said as he walked into the kitchen. (Y/n) gave a small, little smile as she put the first waffle on a plate. As Thor reached to grab it, the small (h/c) haired girl smacked his hand with the wooden spoon. Thor instantly snatched his hand back and looked at the group behind him. Natasha smiled at the scene like everybody else. “Well, looks like you'll have to wait” she said simply. Steve along with everybody else knew that she was challenging him, just by her tone of voice. And knowing Thor well, Steve knew he wouldn't back down. Thor turned back to the girl and tried again, only to be smacked by a spoon again. With more determination, Thor went again. Instead of being smacked by a spoon, the lightning god's hand was an inch away from the blade of a emerald dagger. And (y/n) was glaring right at him. Steve couldn't believe what he was seeing, he didn't think the small child even had it in her to do that. The whole room was dead silent. (Y/n) and Thor stayed like that until he wrapped his arm around the child, lifting her up and out of the chair. Steve saw something flash in (y/n)’s (e/c) eyes before she started screaming and thrashing around at Thor’s side. The lightning god immediately dropped (y/n) thinking he hurt her by accident. (Y/n) landed on the kitchen floor, running down a hallway away from the group. The Avengers started yelling at Thor, asking what had happened.

“What the hell happened?!”

“What did you do?!”

“Did you hurt her?!”

“What possessed you to do that?!”

“What did I say about being careful of what we do?!”

“Do you think I meant to hurt her Man of Iron!”

Steve ran in (y/n)’s direction down the hallway, ignoring the yelling of his friends in the distance so he could hear any sign of the little girl. Finally after running down the hallway and taking a turn, he heard the quiet sound of someone silently crying. Steve immediately turned his head to see (y/n) sitting against the wall, hugging her knees to her chest. “(Y/n)?” Steve said quietly, making her gasp and turn her head towards the sound. Her eyes her a little pink as tears were flowing from her eyes and down her cheeks. Steve moved his foot to take a step towards her, but freezed when he saw (y/n) get ready to run again. “Please do not run. I don't want to hurt you ok?” Steve told the girl who only stared at him and sat back down. Steve nodded as he slowly sat down in front of her. “Are you ok?” he asked as he looked into her tearful eyes. (Y/n) slowly nodded her head, looking at the floor. Steve sighed, not knowing what else to do. He's never been in this situation before, so he didn’t know how to help her. He felt thankful that he got this far. “Did Thor scare you when he grabbed you?” Steve asked, the only answer he got was a sniffle from the (h/c) haired girl. Steve knew why she was scared, he just didn't want to face it. At this point, Steve himself could feel his eyes starting to water up the tiniest bit, and his throat lock up. “Is it because of what happened in Hydra” Steve asked, making (y/n) cry harder. He could tell that the horrible memories she had were flashing through her mind. Steve held out his arms, but the crying (y/n) wouldn't take up on his offer. The blond haired man pulled her towards him, rubbing her back to try and comfort the small child. “Don't you worry, Hydra won't bother you ever again, you're safe. Thor didn't mean to scare you, he wouldn't dream of hurting you by the way. He just didn't know” Steve whispered. He didn't know how long the two of them stayed like that before (y/n) fell asleep in Steve's lap. But when she did, the super soldier scooped her up carefully and walked back to the elevator, passing the group of Avengers on the way. They all asked if (y/n) was ok, worry plain on their faces. Steve assured them that she was alright and was just scared off when Thor picked her up so suddenly. “I think you guys should eat something else today, I'll be back to talk more in a minute” the super soldier said as the elevator doors closed. When the blond haired man got off, he went straight to (y/n)’s room and set her down on her bed, grabbing a pillow and blanket for her before making his way down to the kitchen where the Avengers were eating what was left in the fridge. “So, what happened?” Natasha asked. “Thor accidentally reminded her of Hydra” Steve answered, causing Thor to look down. The lightning god was more of a softy than he looked like. And Steve knew that. “She knows you didn't mean to in a bad way Thor” Steve said. “Day three and you already had to deal with an emotional breakdown,” Tony said, brushing his hand across his face. “I don't know if you can handle anymore of this” Tony continued sighing, combing his fingers through his black hair. “After this morning we need to rebuild what little trust we had” Steve said, sitting down and leaning back in his chair. “You think we need to rebuild it? What if we never had it in the first place?” Clint asked. “Well, then let's start building it” Steve answered. Steve saw Tony’s eyes light up before he spoke. “How about a party? Clint can invite his wife and kids, we can all just have a brake and let loose. Plus the kid can actually socialize with people her age” Tony suggested. Everybody seemed to be in thought, liking this idea. “That does sound great, az long as things don't get to crazy like last time” Bruce said, remembering Ultron. “Sounds great. I'll go tell the wife and kids. See you guys tonight” Clint said before he ran to the elevator to go home to the country.

(Y/n) walked down to the living room to see Steve sitting on the couch. Steve could still see the sleep in her (e/c) eyes. “You feel a lot better?” Steve asked as he patted the spot next to him. (Y/n) nodded as she sat down next to him. “We're having a small party tonight, there's going to be kids there, Clint's family” (y/n) smiled a little bit as she rubbed her eyes. “Why don't you go wash up, I can help you if you want” Steve said as (y/n) vigorously itched her head. The small child stopped itching her head and looked at the blond haired man before she smiled and nodded her head. “Come on” Steve said as he got up and lead (y/n) to the bathroom.
