Chris Evans/Sebastian Stan Characters One-Shots and Imagines

Long Time, No See (Pt. 3) (S.R.)

It's been five year. Five years. Lots of us have moved on. Most of us. But some of us don't.

Every year on the date of the killings, we go and visit the memorial that has Y/N on it. And every time, we cry.

Sarah is now 10 almost 11. And she's growing extremely fast. I've also learned single parenting is extremely hard. Even with Nat around. And since Tony and I are not on good terms and he has a daughter of his own now, we haven't seen Pepper since.

Other than being Captain America, who is now a disappointment to the rest of the universe, I lead grief counseling. Like Sam did.

And Sarah looks like her mom more and more everyday. It's hard being a dad and a daughter. She's almost in middle school and going through the first stages of puberty. Especially after health class when she had questions I obviously couldn't answer, I felt so bad and guilty. But I let her call Nat who thankfully explained everything.

I still can't stop thinking about Y/N. Everything about her. Even back to the days way before Sarah. When she was still a SHIELD Agent who beat me first day of training. When we both lost our virginities together. When she told me yes. When we said I do. When she told me she was pregnant. When she retired from her agent work to take care of Sarah. She was the only reason part of the old Steve came back. The man that wanted a family. Wanted love. I used to say he went down in the ice. But she seemed to bring him back.

Still my priority would always be Sarah over my job. The moment Y/N went and I was left, I sacrificed my job for her. I had to.

Since then we still visit Nat a couple times a year. She and Sarah are still very close, so it's nice to know she had a woman figure in her life. Nat and Y/N were very close as well, so I couldn't have put together a better fit.

Right now, I'm dropping off Sarah at Tony's. Tony figured out time travel, we made up, the core Avengers and some other few got back, and we need to go back in time to receive the stones before Thanos does. Then we can hopefully get everyone back. Tony and I are both extremely weary about leaving, but I have my full trust that if anything happens to me or Nat, Pepper would be the next person that I would trust with Sarah. "I love you so much sweetheart you know that right?" I asked her as I gave her our potential final hug.

"I know dad." She said and smiled. "I love you too." I gave her one last kiss on the head before saying goodbye. On my way out though, I couldn't help but look back and wonder if this was right. Sarah could read my mind though. "Go dad." She said and smiled. "Save the world." I couldn't help but smile back. I left more confident through my daughters confidence in me.

Then we got to the compound. Completed the mission. But Nat. She was gone. She sacrificed herself, something that really tore Clint, and broke my heart. We both knew though, we had to keep fighting. We put the stones in the gauntlet and Bruce snapped. The universe was now whole. There were a few moments of peace, of serenity. That was before I fell back, heard a loud noise, and saw fire and flames. We'd been attacked by none other than the man himself, Thanos.

I managed to climb out and be faced with him. Tony, Thor, and I fought. Thor and Tony went flying back which left me to get up. Me, in rubble, against his army. I stood there ready to fight. Even if I got killed. But then I heard something behind me, looked and saw a portal opening, T'Challa walking out of it. Then dozens of others did as well, and I felt relief wash over me. I saw Sam flying above, Bucky walk out of one, and most of the team was back. I forced Mjolnir into my arm before announcing, "Avengers," Everyone waited a second as we lined up. "Assemble." At that moment we all ran. Towards battle, potentially towards death. I fought for a few minutes, before Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel) flew through one of Thanos' ships, before going to check on Peter (Spider man and the kid from Queens) who was currently possessing the Infinity Gauntlet. I continued fighting though, until everyone looked over for a brief second. We all saw every woman on the team line up and begin to run.

I continued fighting in the front line, but was soon bombarded by a whole group of aliens. I was pushed to the group and was sure this was it. It's hard to fight off a dozen on top of you. Then the pathway was clear and above me I saw Y/N and my heart stopped.

"Y/N!" I said as I jumped up and pulled her in a hug.

"Hi love." She told me.

"Oh I've missed you." I told her while I was on the brink of crying.

"I've missed you too." She said and smiled up at me. "But right now we've got to kick some ass."

"Language." Tony added over the intercom.

"Really?" Y/N asked in the intercom.

"Hey, you should know best he doesn't like those words Y/N." We both rolled our eyes. We continued to fight, and I tried not to focus on the love of my life and my first time seeing her in five years, which was a challenge, but eventually I figured I couldn't loose my shot now.

So we fought. And fought. And fought. Until Tony got the stone, snapped, and eventually his army turned to dust. Then I looked over to see Tony. Laying there. With almost no life left in him. I couldn't believe it.

Y/N ran over to him. For obvious reasons. Her brother was falling apart before her own eyes. The last person she had besides me and Sarah.

Pepper told him it was okay to go. She assured him she and Morgan could survive. He looked at Y/N for assurance and she nodded. So he went. I was heart broken, so was everyone else. Y/N stood there for a moment as Pepper cried. Just looking at Tony. Before she came back to me, her eyes filled with tears. I wrapped my arms around her and held her steady as she cried. I pulled her closer as her head slowly sunk into my chest.

Y/N POV

He's gone. He's actually gone. To be quite honest growing up with an older brother like Tony, I would've never thought he would do something like that. But he did. I was proud of him, but upset that we couldn't have saved him. Thankfully, Steve was there to hold me steady and still. I looked over and saw poor Peter crouching over and saying goodbye. I looked up at Steve and pulled up my hand to give him a one moment signal. Then I walked over to Peter.

Peter and I have been extremely close. He not only babysits for us, but he was the first I saw to really but Tony to the test, something I loved about the kid. I taught him some skills, I helped him with homework, and overall he was just a good kid. He also insisted on calling me, "Mrs. Rogers" because "Mr. Stark told me to." Once he got up I embraced him in a hug he and I both needed, and we both cried. We cried for a few solid minutes, but I stopped to protect Peter. To let him know everything was going to be okay. Finally we released each other.

"What're we gonna do Mrs. Rogers?" He asked me.

"We'll figure it out Petie." I told him, "I promise." And we hugged again. Once we were done I walked back to Steve. He swung his arm around me and held me close, then hugged me again. This time I could feel his tears. I looked up at him and he looked back down at me. Tears were streaming. I took my thumb and wiped them causing him to smile a little and I smiled back. Anything to make us happy at this moment would do.
.
So we had the funeral. One for Tony. And a smaller one for Nat. Steve put back the infinity stones. And I finally saw Sarah again.

She was very distraught after the death of her Uncle Tony and Aunt Nat, but she eventually understood they did it for us. She had grown so much and was growing so fast, almost too fast.

But to be honest, I was happy the way everything is. With Steve and Sarah and I. My life couldn't be more complete if I tried.
