Captain America - Without me

Steve – Without me 

Warnings: Mentions of death 

You sat in the sofa in the Avengers tower as you heard the infamous sound from the ironman suit followed by the roaring motors of the quinjet landing on the roof. You smiled for yourself as you turned the tv off and strutted towards the elevator. As the elevator rode up to the top of the tower you wondered how the mission went without you. You got hurt on your leg on the last mission, it where you and Hawkeye that just needed to spy in the forest and confirm some locations where they illegally transported high-tech guns. You accidently walked into a beartrap thereby hurting your leg.

The doors opened, you were met with tired smiles. Everything went well. You walked forward to help them unpack and refuel the jet, but Steve stopped you.

"No y/n youre hurt let us do this" He said in a tone that said not to argue with him.

"My leg is broken not my arms" you sneered at him and pushing him to the side. You started to write down what needed to be filled. You sighed as you felt the stares from the rest of the group on your back but just continued scribbling down how many packs of ammunition where missing and needed to be refilled.

-In the stairwell-

"At least she didnt ignore me" Steve said to Bruce as they walked down the stairs towards the kitchen.

"Give it time Steve, its hard for her too" Bruce said patting him on his back

"Give it time?" Steve said surprised "It has been 4 months since we broke up and she was the one who broke up with me, not me breaking up with her so why is she al mad and cold towards me?"

Bruce looked over at Steve seeing him so worked up over a person only meant one thing, Steve still cared about Y/n. And probably not just as a friend but still, after 4 months, more than just a friend. Bruce still didnt get why you broke up with Steve, nobody from the team has a clue. One day you and Steve where al happy and the next day they heard you screaming towards a heartbroken Steve and running out of the tower, disappearing for 3 weeks. When you came back you were the same but colder and more distance forcing out smiles instead of letting them come for themselves. 

4 days later 

"Y/n youre expected in lab 3 over ten minutes so they can check your wound" Jarvis said to you as you sat in your room painting a wall with a major of colours, you went out of your room putting on your hat and locked it behind you. As you with difficulty walked over to lab 3 you looked outside seeing the blue sky and to the side you saw Steve reading a newspaper and sipping on his coffee, like he always does. You arrived in lab 3 but your usual nurse wasnt there.

"Tony where is Tanya?" you said thinking you might have taken the wrong lab

"She is free today and said that I and Bruce should be able to take care of your leg without her help" Tony said clearly thinking he could do it alone but knowing better than not to listen to Nurse Tanya. Your smiled faded away knowing what Tanya was doing. You took of your hat, so they could have a proper look at your face.

You heard a small gasp from Bruce and Tony succeeded to be discreet with what he saw. You were pale as snow and you had been going down in weight to as your cheekbones were clearly visible through your skin. The dark circles under your eyes made sure for them to know that you havent slept either.

"y/n show me your leg" Tony said not believing what his brain was telling him, maybe its just an infection, it cant be what he thinks it is.

"My leg healed 3 days after I hurt it" You said looking up, knowing that it was time to tell the truth.

"Y/n please don't tell me you are .." Bruce said fading of with his voice because if he would continue the tears would come.

"Dying" you said finishing his sentence, it was meant to come out cold and like you didn't care but it was the first time you said it in front of someone else except Tanya. You choked up when you said it and your eyes started to tear up.

"I went to a clinic for 3 weeks trying some alternate methods for curing it because they already told me it was too late" you said tears already streaming down your face "I knew that it wouldnt work but I wanted to know how it would go for you guys in case I was gone" you sniffed and whipped away tears "and how Steve would take it" you finished and started to cry even more.

You felt two strong arms wrap around you and hugging you tight, a hug you recognized, the hug you needed and the hug you had missed for months. "Steve you shouldnt have found out this way" you mumbled. You turned around in his arms hugging him back "You left the door open and I just walked by when I heard Tony talk" Steve said, and you could clearly hear that he was trying to stay strong for you, but he would break any second. Both Bruce and Tony gave you a quick hug and left the room leaving you and Steve.

"Steve, I love you, remember that" you said

"I love you to" Steve said back

2 weeks later

The funeral was done, and everyone was heading home, Steve just looked down at his feet as he slowly walked away from your coffin, feeling like he was betraying you by going home without you. But he also knows that you would slap his shoulder if you were there seeing him like this. He sat down on his motorcycle seeing the seat behind him that always was reserved for you, nobody else has ever been allowed to sit there except you. He drove home to the Avengers tower walking to the living room and seeing the rest already sitting there, trying to do something to not think but none of them where really succeeding. Steve walked past them up the stairs to your room.

Nobody was allowed in for a long time and Steve didnt care because he wanted to know why he nor anybody else was allowed in there. He walked in and saw that the room was nicely cleaned, and everything was on its place, he didnt see a reason for why it was so forbidden for him to come in here. But then he saw it, one wall was covered with a painting, it was a picture Y/n has been painting for the last 6 months. A painting of all of them sitting in a sofa and laughing, just having a good time and above the painting was one word, family.

He just sat down on the floor and leaned against the opposite wall and just stared at it, slowly the rest of the Avengers joined him and they sat there for the rest of the evening, just staring straight at y/ns painting.
