Another Like Me (Avengers x child! Hydra! Reader)

Chapter nine

A/n hey yeah I know right? Woah she's updating? N e a t. Yeah. Well I've got some news so please don't skip one this as it's a big deal for me. So we recently hit 5k reads on this story. I saw and I screamed 😂. So thank you all so much! You're so kind and supportive and I love it!! I'd specifically like to thank angelofdeath235 for being super ultra supportive of this and of me. I never thought my works were that good and many of you said that it's one of the best stories you read! I know there's usually a huge "but" with most of these and it's not a big one. I'm going to be doing a minor (about 2 chapters left including this one) for Matt. Now I do have a plan for these chapters but unfortunately there won't be a lot of the other Avengers. Next chapter reader goes back to the Avengers. Now, this will probably contain spoilers for Daredevil and especially for The Defenders. I'm not gonna include much of the other three (Luke, Jessica, and Danny) as I haven't seen their shows. My parents said they didn't want me to buy they can't stop me from getting to Daredevil. SO ANYWAY BACK TO THE P O I N T. The point is, there won't be a huge thing with Matt and I'm probably gonna male reader go back to the Avengers sometime in this chapter actually so I can do a nice short feel good Halloween special. So please enjoy and when you see ~~~~ then it means possible spoilers are over so you can skip ahead to that part! And as always, thank you for the support and have fun reading!

    It had been a few hours since Matt and (y/n) returned from the park. Foggy had called Matt with news about a case they were currently working. He was hesitant to ask (y/n) to come with him, but he also knew there wasn't much to ask. So here they were, walking to Matthew's apartment from the precinct. (Y/n) didn't seem to mind the noises of the city, it seemed to be a welcome change. Matt didn't want to break the silence that had graced the pair. The only sounds came from the bustling city around them, and the faint tapping of Matt's cane.

    Matt focused his energy on listening. Not only to the city, but also to the small girl beside him. There would be an occasional soft whir of gears turning inside her right arm as she moved it the slightest bit. He smiled softly as he found the rhythm the sounds would come together as.

"When we return to the office, would you like to stay with Karen, or would you rather come with Foggy and I? Or, if you'd like, I can drop you off at my apartment and you can check it out."

"Whatever is easiest for you all."

"Well we aren't that close to the apartment and I can't risk anyone we're going up against knowing about you and your relationship with us. It's safer to stay with Karen."

(Y/n) nodded. "Alright."

Matt smiled and the two kept walking towards the office. A few cars drove by them, flying past, probably thinking it's fine to do as it was a side street. Each time a car passed, Matt would slightly reach a few centimetres closer to the teenage girl's arm, and he would tense ever so slightly. He didn't expect her to notice. But she definitely did.

~~~~~~spoilers start~~~~~~

    Before long, the pair reached the office. Karen greeted them with a smile, as usual. Foggy wasn't there when they arrived, and Matt assured (y/n) that he was going to meet up with Foggy somewhere. She smiled and hugged him lightly before sitting down quietly across from Karen.

    Over the course of several days, (y/n) grew very close with Karen, Foggy, and Matt. She learned to trust them and she learned things about them. Her favourite phrase was "avocados at law", which Matt and Foggy explained to her, often smiling fondly at the memory.

    It seemed like Matt had hung up the vigilante outfit and tried to keep on his "humble lawyer" face. And often, being fascinated with American law, (y/n) would join Matt to hearings and anything related to a case.
