Avengers Imagines and Preferences

Unexpected // Steve Rogers

Something was off, that you knew. Since the moment you met, Steve has been comfortable and easy-going around you, but he's been distant the last two weeks. He's been skipping movie night, and he doesn't even join you for late night Scrabble games anymore. You've tried to give him his space, but he still seems upset about something, and you can't help but think the problem is you.

You wake up in the morning to the inviting sound of Natasha screaming at you.

"Y/N! Briefing room in five minutes!" she yelled. You groaned and rolled out of bed, throwing on some sweats and a t-shirt. You didn't even bother with your appearance, other than quickly running a brush through your hair.

When you got to the briefing room you sat across the table from Steve and gave him a small smile, only to have him avert his eyes to the ground. This slightly annoyed you, but yet again you brushed it off. You turned your attention to Natasha, who was pointing to a big screen that displayed a HYDRA base located in Sweden.

"The mission is to get into the control room and shut down the communications system, allowing Y/N to access the main computer. She will retrieve the files and everyone will use the south exit," she states. "We'll all be in pairs. Y/L/N and Rogers, Stark and Thor, Barnes and Barton, Wilson and I. Hill, you're hacking into the security cameras to keep everyone updated. Is that good with everyone?"

Everyone nods, except Steve.

"Could I possibly switch partners?" he asks quietly. You give him an incredulous look.

"Sure, we'll just throw off the entire plan, no big deal," Natasha groans. Steve looks at you through his eyelashes. You simply scoff and roll your eyes at him. He almost looks hurt. Whatever.

"We leave in two hours," Natasha says, and with that everyone files out of the room. Just as you're leaving, you feel a hand on your arm.

"Y/N wait." You whip around and see Steve holding onto your bicep with a sorrowful look in his eyes. "I-"

"Save it," you interrupt coldly.

"But-" he starts. He didn't even get to finish because you yanked your arm from his grasp and continued to the elevator. As you walked away he looked like he was near tears, but you couldn't care less at the moment.

The quinjet landed smoothly in a forest and you walked out with your new partner, Clint. You approached the door slowly.

"How many guards are in there Y/N?" Clint asked. You used a heat radar to scan the room you were about to break into.

"Three," you state. "Ready?"

"You bet," he said. Right then he busted open the door. The guards quickly turned to you, but before they could even lift their guns they were on the ground, taken out by Clint.

"Y/N, how close are you to the control room?" Natasha asks out of breath.

"Down the hall," you answer. "Hill, what's the status on the mainframe?"

"There are five guards, each has a machine gun. Think you can handle them?" Maria asks.

"No need," Tony interrupts. You're just around the corner when you hear several blasts and gunshots echoing off the walls. By the time you reach the control room, Tony is standing there surrounded by unconscious guards.

"Well don't just stand there," he says. This snaps you back into reality, and you quickly rush to plug the hard drive into the mainframe. As the files start downloading, you hear more guards yelling in the distance.

"Rogers, you and the rest of the gang would be greatly appreciated in the south wing," Tony says sarcastically.

"Headed your way," Steve grunts. You start wondering what's going on where he is, but then you remember that you have a mission, and he's being a jerk.
