On the Seven Seas (Steve Rogers x fem!pirate reader) Pirate AU

(steamy implications at the end, violence.)

"That's not good," Bruce mumbled. Steve looked in the direction Bruce was pointing. Indeed it wasn't good. There, coming over the horizon, was a ship. Not just any ship. No, it was The (S/N), the ship belonging to the most fearsome pirate captain in the world. A captain whose name struck fear into the hearts of all who heard it. A captain who was known for taking down anyone who got in her way. That captain was you. And now, your ship was coming up fast on The Avenger and the crew was worried.

"We can't outrun her and our weapons aren't strong enough to put a dent in her ship. So what do we do?" Sam asked. Steve was the captain and they were all waiting for his instructions. "We wait and see what she'll do. She may not even notice us." The crew looked apprehensive, but most of them wouldn't argue. His idea was better than trying to fight and losing. If that happened, they'd all end up at the bottom of the sea.

Unfortunately for the crew of the Avenger, you did notice them and they were sailing right in your path. "Prepare to board, men! I want them taken alive." Your crew let out a noise of assent as they readied to obey your command. With a smirk, you turned to your helmsman. "Bring us alongside."

Steve held his breath as you pulled your ship alongside his. So much for not being noticed. In what seemed like a flash, your crew boarded his ship, surprising the crew. He let out a sigh. All they wanted to do today was enjoy a day of sailing. He had not wanted to tangle with pirates. Now it seemed that he had no choice. It was fight or die.

Since they were only out sailing for pleasure, the Avenger was outnumbered. They put up a good fight, but they were no match for your crew in such small numbers. Steve was soon tied up alongside Sam, Tony, and Bucky. Natasha and Wanda were lead away first as you boarded the Avenger yourself. Your eyes surveyed the crew for a moment before landing on Steve. He was absolutely gorgeous and his eyes just captivated you. They were kind eyes, but the eyes of a man who had seen so much. Too much in his life.

For a moment, the two of you were locked in a staring contest. It was Tony who broke the silence. "Look, lady, what do you want with us?!" You glared at him. "Lady? I'm no lady. Captain Y/F/N, at your service. I don't want anything with you except to get you out of my way. But, as I have a reputation to uphold, that means taking you aboard my ship and sinking yours to the bottom of the sea."

They all began to protest. You took out your pistol and shot into the air. "ENOUGH! UNLESS YOU WANT TO JOIN THIS VESSEL IN DAVY JONES' LOCKER!" They quieted down. Now they understood part of the reason you were so feared. You were frightening when you were angry. Clearing your throat, you turned to your first mate. "Bring them aboard The (S/N) and throw them in the brig." Your first mate nodded and you turned on your heel to return to your ship.

You had better things to think of than the sailors at that point. You had a treasure to get to and you were running out of time. Loki, your rival, was hot on your trail. The treasure you were seeking was said to be so vast that anyone who found it would be hailed as a king...or queen in your case. Loki didn't need that much power. So you set out to get the treasure first, but the sailors had caused a slight delay. Now it was a race to the finish.

"Captain, the captain of the Avenger is demanding to see you." You let out a soft groan. "Fine. Bring him to my cabin. And make sure there are no more detours, got it?!" He nodded and scampered off. You didn't blame him. You'd killed his brother for crossing you. The man feared for his life. Sighing, you went to your cabin to await your "guest".

Steve was shoved into the cabin a few minutes later. "Who are you?" you asked, "You have no rights aboard my ship, Captain..." You trailed off, hoping he'd give you his name. Plus, it would give you a moment to collect your thoughts. He was even more handsome up close. "Steve. Steve Rogers. I have the right to know why you decided to capture us and sink our ship. We've done nothing to you. How could we have been in your way?"
