The music was pumping all around me. High school parties were an escape from my crazy messed up life. I inhaled as deeply as i could, the euphoric feeling starting to fill my head. I coughed out a massive amount of smoke, but i started laughing. "god you must be stressed" my friend Justin said to me, taking the bong from my hands. "oh you have know idea" i said, leaning back in my chair and looking up to the stars. "well it's a huge amount of pressure on anyone, ya know being an avenger and Tony Starks niece" my other friend Jessica said to me. I smiled at her sadly. "well you know, thought i'd take the night off" i muttered. "you've taken the whole summer off? you've barely even seen him? you're acting so shady what's going on?" Jessica asked me and i looked at her taken back. "i am the less needed avenger, i don't have super hero strength, i don't have an iron suit, i can't turn huge and green, can't make thunder come out of my finger tips and i sure as hell don't have good combats skills" I said, frustrated and snappy. "but you're unique Y/N" Jessica said and i shook my head. "i just want to get high and forget about it alright?" i said and she sighed. "sounds good to me" Justin said as he was crushing up something on the table. "i didn't mean anything like that" i said, looking at him worried. "i'll leave you too it" Jessica said, getting up and walking off. We were currently sat by the pool shed, a quieter place away from the banging music and drunk teens. "she still hates this" Justin said and i sighed. "she'll come around, she loves you" i said to him and he smiled softly. "thanks" he said. He held out a rolled up piece of paper and i looked at him curiously. "it's empty?" i questioned him and he burst out laughing. "no...you use it to snort easier" Justin said and i shook my head. "i think i'll stick with the legal stuff thanks" i said and grabbed the bong off the table and lit it up again, drawing in a deep breath.

>>20 MINUTES LATER<<

"hey Y/N" Justin said hitting my arm. "man shut up" i said chuckling as i held my head back with my eyes closed. "nah i'm serious" he said and i opened one eye to see him cracking up. "i think...i think i'm hallucinating" he said giggling and i couldn't help but laugh. "what now? elephants?" i mumbled and he shook his head. "Captain America??" he said and we both laughed heavily. "erm actually i don't think i'm hallucinating" He said suddenly and i looked to where he was looking and i saw Steve stood there glaring at me. Soon enough he started marching towards me. "oh shit neither do i" i said, still giggling. I sunk down in my chair further, trying to contain my laughter. "we've been trying to get hold of you for hours" Steve said very sternly and my eyes widened. "i'm sorry Stevie, i'm kinda busy" i said and me and Justin giggled. "we need you, it's an emergency" he said. "i'm pretty sure the world has enough muscle and willpower with the almighty avengers in it, i am not required" i mumbled glumly. "y/n you know that's not true!" Steve said harshly to me. I shrugged my shoulders and started into space. "what are you doing??" Steve's eyes widened as he saw the bong, left over traces of white power and half a gram of weed left in the bag. "chilling out Steve, you should try it" i mumbled. "we're leaving, now!" He said, grabbing my arm and standing me up. "unless Loki's returned, i'm not interested" i mumbled, laughing under my breath. He rolled his eyes and grabbed my hand, leading me away from the party and into the drive way. "i am capable of walking myself!" i snapped my hand from his grasp as i started to feel sick. "well you won't be if you carry on with this drug bullshit!" Steve snapped at me angrily and full of betrayal.

Steve once caught me smoking a bit of pot after a mission, he let it slide on the fact it was a one off and stress reliever. I also might have promised never to do it again when in reality all summer i've done nothing but.

"i understand you're mad cause i promised-" i started but Steve turned around and stared at me angrily. "no, you don't get to talk about this until we are back at the base where your uncle is present! i have lied about this so many times! whenever you go to parties or round your friends, i always cover your back, even when you come in stinking of it, i always say you'd never done it and it was just you're friends because- i...i thought you were better than this" He said, his voice getting softer as he trailed off. I sighed and looked up at him with tears in my eyes. "you don't understand" i mumbled. "no, i don't" he said, turning around and getting into his car. I sighed before hopping in, ready to face the drive back.

I slowly walked behind Steve with my head down staring at the ground. God did he ruin my buzz. The after effects were starting to come into play and i was feeling sicker but also hungrier than ever. "can we stop off at the kitchen-" i started but Steve cut me off with a very blunt and sharp "no".

Soon enough we reached a room where everybody was waiting. "Y/N we were so worried, you weren't answering anybody's calls or texts!" Peter said as he wrapped his arms around me. I sighed as i accepted the hug, melting into it. "you stink of—-holy shit" Peter mumbled, pulling away and putting his hands to my eyes to see how bloodshot my eyes were. I smacked his hands away and he looked at me sadly. "i'm going to kill Justin" Peter said and i shook my head. "leave it be" i said sadly. He nodded and stepped away so everyone else could say their hellos. "where were you then that was so important?" Tony's voice cut through the room. "oh wait i know that question. At a college party. How exciting" he said, turning around, his glares burning into me. I put my head down and fumbled with my hands. "What was so important? downing bottles of vodka, dancing with guys? lighting up a bong and snorting god knows what when you should've been HERE with the rest of us trying to figure out how to save the godamn world!" Tony started to raise his voice and i sighed, getting his scary glare. Steve looked back at me, his previously harsh gaze turned soft, seeing how badly Tony was going to tear me apart in front of everybody. "i don't think you need to explain because we can all smell it" He said quieter. I could tell he was trying his best not to lay into me there and then. "Y/N you look a bit pale" Natasha said softly, placing a hand on my back and i nodded, taking a deep and shaky breath. "i'm sorry" i mumbled before i dashed out the room. I ran to the closest bin i could find and honked my guts up.

I sunk down next to it and began to cry. I sobbed into my knees as i wrapped my arms around myself. I was a failure. It was only my irrelevance in the team that lead me to this. After getting lured into a trap by the god of mischief himself Loki, i almost risked the lives of everybody in New York. I couldn't forgive myself, so i spent my summer out when i could, getting high or drunk when i could forgetting about everything. i'd made empty promises to Peter and Steve about getting better, but now i'd broken them. They'd never trust me again, my two best friends on this earth.

"it's not your fault" I heard a voice and felt a presence next to me. Tony sat next to me, bring his knees up to his chest too. "Steve told me" He said and i chuckled before crying harder. "i couldn't- forgive- myself" i cried out, my voice breaking between each word, Tony wrapped his arms around me as i cried into his chest. "you are such an important member of this team, please don't ever think you're not valued. Don't destroy your life because of a mistake. Every single person has made mistakes and look at where they are now. Plus do you really think you're awesome, cool uncle has never indulged in youthful activities" He said smiling and i chuckled. There was a comfortable silence between us, i was glad and relieved that he wasn't going to disown me. "now, dry those tears and get your ass back into that meeting room because we have some alien butt to kick" he said and i chuckled. We both stood up and started walking towards the meeting room, where everybody shot me small smiles as i walked back in which i appreciated. I sat next to Tony and Peter while we were making plans of action. Peter wrapped his arm around my shoulder and i smiled. "thank you for never giving up on me" i mumbled and he chuckled. "i would never" he said. I looked over at Steve and he met my eyes. I smiled at him softly and mouthed "thank you" and he smiled back, nodding in response. I then refocused myself back to what was happening.
