Promises

Chapter 4

Nat gives Steve a piercing look before she leaves the room to go after Y/N. Wanda stands up and follows. Steve started to understand more where Y/N came from now. And that he had fucked up so much more then he thought. And now Y/N thought that she no longer was a part of the Avengers. The room is silent for a bit more. Everyone trying to come to grasps with what Y/N just had said. Then the room explodes with voices yelling at Steve.

"What the hell, Steve" Tony yelled. "You don't make the decisions who is or isn't a part of the Avengers." The other in the room agreed. Even Bucky.

"You are the biggest idiot on the planet," Clint growled, glaring at Steve. Not pulling any punches. "She has a friend that needs her. We can handle this mission without her. Have you realised she never takes time out? She is always here for us." Sam said. Steve sank back in his chair. Why did he always continue to fuck this up? He would understand if Y/N never talked with him again. It was as his brain got fried when things were about her. Instead of making things better between them, he just kept pushing her away from him. He saw the stares he got from the other members of the team and he was not in a mode to get yelled at any more. So he left the room. He did not notice that Bucky followed him. Steve needed air. That was all he could think of. He walked to the balcony and sat down on a bench.

"You really are a Punk," Bucky says and sits down beside Steve.

"Well, you are a Jerk," Steve says and gives Bucky a sad smile. Bucky sighs.

"Sometimes I think you want to self-sabotage yourself." Steve looks up at Bucky with big eyes.

"What do you mean?" He wonders.

"You deserve to be happy, Steve," Bucky says and lays a hand on his friend's shoulder. Steve feels his eyes sting, so he looks away.

"And Y/N makes you happy." Bucky continues. "I have never seen you as happy as when you are with her. Not even Peggy." Steve nods scratching the back of his neck. What he felt for Peggy was not even close to what he feels for Y/N. Bucky gets up and leaves Steve alone to his thoughts. He had a lot to think about.

You walked into your room and started packing with tears ringing down your face. Nat came into the room and pulled you into an embrace. You sobbed in her shoulder. After a while, you felt two more arms hold you. It was Wanda. They said nothing just hold on to you as you cried. After a while you pulled away, drying your tears.

"Do you need help packing" Nat wondered and you nodded.

"I need to pack everything up," you said. Both women looked at you with big eyes. "Can you send it to me, when I found a new place?"

"What do you mean find a new place?" Wanda asked looking at you with big eyes.

"Well, obviously I am not an Avenger anymore," you said and started folding jeans and putting them in your bag.

"Like hell, you are" Nat barked. "Don't listen to what Steve said. He is not in charge over who is a part of the team or not." Wanda agreed and you felt how you relaxed. You really thought that you had lost your family.

"So, where are you going?" Nat inquired.

"Cape May" you answered and Wanda handed you a couple of t-shirts that you folded and packed in your bag.

"And which of your friends lives there?" Wanda wondered. You sat down on your bed. They deserved to know.

"Wyatt, my childhood best friend, lives there," you say and put your head in your hands. Nat and Wanda look at you curiously. You don't talk a lot about your childhood. They knew that your father was alive and lived in New York City. But other than that they did not know much. You looked at them and understood that they wanted to know more, but they did not want to pry.
