Captain America: the first Avenger (Captain America - x reader)

Part 15

I slowly opened my eyes and blinked a few times. I wasn't in my own barrack, I was in the medics tent with an IV in my arm and Steve by my side. "You're awake" he spoke softly. I nodded: "it seems that way huh.". He looked down: "why didn't you tell us you were hurt? You've lost quite a lot of blood." I stared at the bandage on my arm: "Saving them and getting you and Bucky out safely was more important." Steve's eyes widened a bit: "Look saving them was important you're right, but don't you ever think that I am more important than you are Y/N".

I bit my bottom lip, avoiding eye contact. He placed a warm and soft hand hand on top of mine. I slowly looked up at him and locked eyes with his beautiful ocean blue eyes. They were different tho, there was a hint of sadness in them: "I cant-... I can't lose you.". I slowly sat up: "You won't lose me Steve," ,I gave his hand a soft squeeze, "but you have to promise me I wont lose you either. When you made that jump and the explosion happened" I didn't even finish my sentence, I just looked down at our hands. Steve let out a soft chuckle: "Deal."

After resting for a couple more hours, I went to see Peggy. I had to tell her about the map I saw and the places that were marked. She gave me a map and I tried to mark them down as precise as possible. "I'm sorry if they're not spot on", I apologised, "I just got a quick look". She got up: "Well, nobody's perfect." Peggy brought us to another table with another map. Steve studied it for a little bit: "These are the weapon factories we know about. Sergeant Barnes said that Hydra shipped all the parts to another facility that isn't on this map." Colonel Philips walked away from the table: "Agent Carter, coordinate with MI6. I want every Allied eyeball looking for that main Hydra base.". "What about us?" Peggy wondered. "We are going to set a fire under Johann Schmidt's ass.", the colonel replied as he turned around, "What do you say, Y/L/N? It's your map. You think you can wipe Hydra off it?" I looked back at the map and nodded: "Yes, sir. I'll need a team.". The colonel looked trough some papers: "We're already putting together the best men.". Steve looked at me, then at the colonel: "With all due respect, sir, so am I."

It was late and Steve and I went to the bar. He introduced me to his team and we had a couple of drinks. "So, let's get this straight." ,the man with the moustache spoke, "We barely got out of there alive and you want us to go back?" another guy said. Steve nodded: "Pretty much". "Sounds rather fun actually" another guy said with a smile. "I'm in." the Chinese looking guy said. One of the guys started to talk French and he didn't sound too happy. The guy next to him replied in French, they laughed and shook eachothers hand. I gave them a confused look. "We're in" said the guy who apperently spoke French as well. "Hell I'll Always fight. But you got to do one thing for me.", the guy with the moustache raised his glass. "And what's that?" Steve asked, but I understood what he meant. I got up: "Don't worry I got you.". "Well that was easy." was his reply.

I walked over to the bar and asked for another round. The barman gave me a smile: "Where are they putting all this stuff?" I looked back at them and smiled. I put the beers on the table and tapped Steve's shoulder: "I'm gonna go find Bucky." He got up: "I'm coming with you, gonna tell him they're in."

Bucky saw us walk in and he smiled: "See? I told you. They're all idiots.". Steve and I sat on a stool next to him and I nudged his arm: "How about you?" Steve looked at him: "You ready to follow Captain America into the jaws of death?". Buckys face was serieus: "Hell, no." My smile faded, and so did Steve's. "That little guy from Brooklyn who was too dumb not to run away from a fight and the girl that was so nervous her first day in the army that she ran into me.", he smiled, "I'm following them." Steve and I smiled at him and he took a sip from his drink: "You're keeping the outfit right?" He wondered, looking at the 2 of us. Steve looked back at the poster: "You know what? It's kind of growing on me." I laughed: "Yeah, it's not to bad when you get used to it."

Suddenly the entire bar went quiet. Steve, Bucky and I got up to see what was going on. It was Peggy in a strawberry red dress: "Captain, Y/N." she spoke softly. "Agent Carter." Steve replied. She walked past Bucky and Bucky was checking her out: "Ma'am.". Peggy completely ignored him: "Howard has some equipment for you to try. Tomorrow morning?". Steve nodded in agreement: "sounds good." Steve and Bucky couldn't keep their eyes off her. I have to admit, she looked stunning in that dress, but at the same time it was bothering me. Why? I don't know. I cleared my throat: "I'm gonna go to bed. Got an important day ahead." and with that I walked off, feeling Steve's eyes on me.

I was laying in bed with my back towards the door when it suddenly quietly opened. "Y/N?" It was Bucky. I sat up straight and looked at him. "I thought you were going to bed?" He closed the door and sat down on my bed. I shrugged: "I was, but I can't sleep." I lied. The truth was that I was anoyed at how close Peggy and Steve were. "It's Steve and Peggy isn't it?" Bucky spoke up again, as if he could read my mind. "What?" I raised an eyebrow. "Oh come on.", he nudged my shoulder, smiling, "I see how you look at him. You like him". I looked away and felt my cheecks turning red. He was right. I wasn't bothered that Steve and Peggy were close, I was jealous. "Please don't tell him. I don't wanna ruin the friendship." ,I replied, playing with my hands, "Clearly he likes Peggy as more than a friend." Bucky nodded: "Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. It's a shame tho that he's that blind." "Are you saying you have a crush on me?" I joked. "I mean can you blame me?" We both let out a laugh. "Maybe it's better this way tho. I don't wanna ruin our friendship or the mission." Bucky nodded, understanding where I was coming from. We talked for a little longer and then both went to bed. I was asleep before Steve got back, because we had a long day ahead.
