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

Part 7

Steve watched as (y/n) served all the Avengers pumpkin spice pancakes. The food she cooked smelled as amazing as usual, and everybody else already knew how it would taste. Delicious. "Dad, your plates ready" she said as she slid his stack of pancakes over to him. "Thanks" Steve smiled as he immediately dug into his breakfast. "I still can't believe I lost the bet to a ninety-five year old. I mean, I thought we were getting along great! What happened to us (y/n)?" Tony asked dramatically, looking hurt. "Uncle Tony! It's breakfast, you can complain later!" the (h/c) exclaimed looking annoyed as she grabbed her own plate and sat down next to Steve. She hadn't left the super soldiers side since he picked her up. She spent the whole day with him yesterday. She was with him as he trained, as he worked on the report for Fury, she even slept in his room. Natasha said it was most likely because she was still scared from the movie her "Uncle Tony" made her watch, and that she wanted her "Daddy" to protect her from whatever was scaring her. Not that he minded, Steve loved it. Well, he hated the fact that she was pretty scared out of her mind, but he loved that she considered him her father. He just had one question. How was he going to adapt her? Of course he wanted to adopt her. In the small time she had been here, he knew he couldn't live without her. From the moment she call him her father, he knew that he loved her in a way a parent loves their child. That (y/n) was his daughter. "It is hard to believe that the child never talked to begin with, judging by the way she's already talking to Man Of Iron" Thor said with a smirk as he popped another mouthful of pancakes into his mouth. "Yeah, yeah, laugh all you want" Tony grumbled. "Steve, teach your kid how to make coffee, she can make a whole breakfast but she can't make coffee!" Tony told Steve as he put his plate in the sink. "That's because you can make coffee perfectly fine all on your own. Plus, cooking breakfast before any of us are even awake is enough. She doesn't need coffee added to the list" the super soldier said as ruffled (y/n)'s hair. (Y/n) had a confused look on her face. "What's coffee?" she asked, causing the black haired billionaire to groan in annoyance. Everybody laughed as Tony glared at them all. "Guess it's just not my week" Tony grumbled. "Guess not!" (y/n) said with a bright smile. "This, right here," Tony said pointing at the little girl's smile. "Is not fair play" the billionaire told the group. "And nobody cares, cause it's so freaking adorable" Natasha said, smirking because she knew that there was a new secret weapon to use against him. At least that's what Steve thought, with knowing the redhead and all.

"(Y/n), hold up the sword a little higher, there you go" Steve told the (e/c) eyed girl as she raised the emerald sword in her hands a little higher. A punching bag was in front of them, and the super soldier was crouched right next to the small child. He decided to teach her how to properly use her sword, since she just swings it randomly. And if she's going to have a favorite weapon, she should know how to use it properly. He didn't know how to use a sword, so he looked it up. Since he didn't know how to use the internet, it took way longer than necessary. But it got the job done. "Good. Now... strike!" he exclaimed. (Y/n) swung her sword in an upward horizontal direction, successfully slicing her target. Sand started to pour out of the punching bag and onto the floor. "Oh great, now I have clean up sand" (y/n) said as she looked down at the mess she made on the floor. "That's ok. How about we stop for today?" Steve asked, receiving a nod from the small child. Steve smiled and picked her up when Jarvis's voice rang from the ceiling. "Tony Stark requires your presents Mr.Rogers" Larvis told Steve. "Okay, thanks" the super soldier said, getting a "your welcome". Steve walked all the way down to the common room, wondering what tony wanted. Maybe he needed help, but Tony never asked for help. Besides, he always asked Bruce to help him. As Steve walked down to the common room, he could hear voices and they seemed to be arguing. "I know a "test that'll go wrong" when I see one, and this has it written all over it" Tony told someone in a stern voice. "Well, I'm sorry I shut down the daycare, but I do need the child back" a voice said that Steve instantly recognised. He put (y/n) on the ground and crouched down low and whispered in her ear. "I need you to go to your room, ok? Don't come out unless I say so, got it?" Steve told (y/n), who nodded her head and ran straight to her room. Now that that was taken care of, the blonde super soldier walked into the common room to see Fury standing up in the middle of the room, the other Avengers sitting down on the couch and chairs. "Hello Cap, nice to see you" the black clad man said, his usual glare on his face. "You too" Steve said, joining some of the Avengers on the couch. "So, what was all that about?" Steve asked, wanting to know why Fury wanted his daughter. "Well, you see, since I got a report saying that you managed to get the girl to talk, so I'm going to have to take her back" Fury said simply, giving Steve a stern look. Steve couldn't believe it. Take her back? The Shield Director made it sound like he was talking about an object instead of an actual person. "Take her back?" Steve asked, not wanting to believe what Fury said. "Yes, take her back. That's literally what I just said, do you want me to repeat it?" Fury sarcastically asked. "You can't take her back. She just started talking again, if you take her back she could never talk again. Even if she did come back, it'd still crush her. She knows more than she leads on, she understands more than we think. If you take her back she'll know exactly what's going on!" the super soldier angrily told the black clad man. Fury sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Look, I'm gonna be honest. Even I have higher-ups. This wasn't my choice. In fact, they want to start testing her powers. See how useful she can be when she's older. Now personally, I don't want that to happen but my hands are tied. I have to bring her back" Fury told the Avengers. "Well let me talk to your higher-ups!" Steve exclaimed. The Avengers all looked at him. He knew they agreed with him, (y/n) was just as important to tham as she was to him. "If it helps, I know a way that they wouldn't be able to leave legally. Took some bribing, but it wasn't a problem for me of course" Tony said, gaining everybody's attention. "How?" Fury asked. "Ok, so in the past whatever years, I'm going to guess that Shield never legally, or should I say officially, claimed (y/n). Meaning that," Tony explained, signaling someone to continue. Natasha's eyes to light up, and a smile to show up on her face. "That she was never adopted. And you must have adoption papers" Natasha told everyone. "Exactly. And the papers in my office, also Fury. You'll have to sign a few things, or else Steve can't adopt her. So don't go anywhere" Tony said before he dashed off to his lab. "I hate to admit it, but that smart bastard actually did something that came to use" Fury said. "Well, I'm glad. But I'm nervous" Steve said. "Do not worry about anything Rogers. You will be a wonderful father" Thor said. "Yeah, and Sharon can the future mom" Clint teased, a smirk on his face. Steve looked down at his feet. "Uh, gee... thanks buddy. Really appreciate it" Steve said, before Tony came back with the adoption papers. "Alright people, Let's get signing!"

It was late by the time they got done, since Steve insisted that he should read the whole packet. And then they had to actually sign the whole god forsaken thing. But when it was all said and done, Steve couldn't be happier. And just to be sure he didn't loose proof that (y/n) was his daughter, they all decided to make copies, digital and paper. The super soldier walked over the the small child's door, opening it to see her in her own birds nest of pillows and blankets. Steve couldn't wait to find out why she slept like that. He walked over to the sleeping child and picked her up, holding her close to his chest while being sure not to wake her up. The super soldier proceeded and walked over to his room. Ever so carefully, he set her small body on his bed and changed into his pajamas, then he laid down next to (y/n). "Daddy, am I staying here?" her voice said. "Yeah, and no one's going to take you away" Steve whispered as he held his child to his chest, not wanting to ever let her go.
