Sheilded (Steve x reader)

07.

You'd waited up for Nat, and had ended up having a heated debate with Rhodey about whether ham or cheese was a better sandwich filler. By the time Nat did come home with Sam, you were laughing hysterically as Rhodey was holding both a block of cheese and a slice of ham in either hand and waving them in your face.

Sam and Nat just stood there for a moment. "Are you both drunk?" Nat asked, Rhodey dropped the cheese startled.

"No." You said standing up. "And I win because now hams the only filler left." Rhodey mumbled something under his breath as he walked away. Picking the cheese up as he did. You smiled at Nat. "Did you have a good time?" She nodded. "How 'bout you Sam?" You said with a wink.

He just sighed. "Didn't have much luck." You patted his shoulder.

"Well I'm going to bed, I'm throughly weirded out by the past few hours." Nat nodded and say goodnight.

Lying down in bed, you had a strange feeling that someone was watching you. Thinking it was Clint I'm the vents, you closed your eyes. Then you remembered, Clint had gone home. You bolted upright. Crawling along your bed, you grapped a gun and peered round the corner of the wall and out the window.

You nearly screamed, a man was pressed up against the glass. It was too dark to tell who. Jumping off the bed, you leveled your gun but he was gone. You frowned, your heart beating madly in your chest. Walking to the window, you opened it, looking up, down, left and right. Nothing.

Maybe you'd imagined it. You were tired after all. You turned round only to feel a hand grap the thin material of your dress. It pulled you hard from the window, you felt yourself dangling. You looked up trying desperately to see your attacker. He was just a black shadow.

"Jarvis!" You gulped as you felt his grip loosen. "Betty 23." You said as he let go. You fell, no scream escaped your lips, too shocked to make a sound. The ground was growing steadily closer, is this really how it was going to end. Not how you imagined it you had to say.

Just before you hit the ground, the suit encased you. You threw on the replusers, stumbling and falling into your knees. The mask fell open as you wretched, gasping for air. Wait, the window was open. You kicked the repulsers back into action.

"Jarvis, alert dad that someone broke into my room and threw me out the window. But I'm okay. And that they are most probably in the tower. In fact alert everyone." You said as you hovered outside your window.

You didnt like fighting in your suit, although your dad had insisted you have one. You stepped out of it, grapping the gun from the table. You cocked it gently, and crept forward, listening for emotions that would lead you to the attacker. Nothing.

A black shadow shot past your left, you fired the shot but it seemed to pass straight through him. "Oh I'm an idiot." You mumbled, you gasped as something sharp was shoved into your side. The shadow had actually been his shadow he'd been standing behind you. He laughed as you dropped to your knees.

He stood above you, dropping the mask, as soon as he did you got into his head. A failed version of Hydra, experimented on him. The suit allowed him to become a shadow in all aspects. No sound, hardly any sight. He had gone mad with the torturing and the only thing he remembered, was to destroy you and your team. A part of a bigger plan you were guessing. Once you were gone the world would be theres for taking.

You snapped out, he was still above you laughing. You rolled your eyes. You shot up at him. He grunted, as the blood started trickling from his stomach. You were up on your feet in seconds. "I'm immune to Arsenic. Funny story actually." You said pulling the blade from your back. He staggered to the window you shot at him again but realised you couldn't see him.

You swore. The door burst open and Steve appeared in the room, closely followed by Tony. "Are you o--. Jesus you've been stabbed."

"Arsenic covered knife very clever, except I've got an intolerance to it so I'll be fine." You said calmly. Tony frowned at you but seeing as you seemed okay he decided they had more important things to worry about.

"Jarvis play the footage." Tony said folding his arms like he did when he was nervous. They watched the footage in silence. "Told you the suit would be helpful." Tony said making you smirk.

"What did you find out when you went in his head?" Steve asked as the footage ended.

"His mask blocked my power, but when he took it off I saw that he was from this rip off of Hydra. They created the suit, and tortured him to near madness. The only thing they seemed to have let him remember is to kill all of us. Part of one of their bigger plans I'm guessing. As soon as we're gone.."

"All sorts of bad stuff creep in." Tony finished. You nodded. "Strength?"

"Not much, knife barely went in through my night dress and that was full force." You turned round to show them. They both let out a slight sigh of relief. "Jarvis you captured his face right?"

"Yes miss."

"Had he left the tower."

"Yes miss. I will alert you if he returns."

"Thanks." You said wincing.

"Come on sweetheart you need that stitched up." Tony said pulling you forward. As the adrenaline started to fade the pain started to creep In. You but your lip as you staggered forward. Steve scooped you up bridal style, Tony opened his mouth but decided this wasn't the best time.

"Jarvis alert the others the threat is gone and to meet me in the living room ASAP. Bar Bruce stay in the hospital wing please." Tony kissed your head. "Steve you okay taking her, and explaining to Bruce?" Steve nodded. "Call me if you need me." He said kissing your head again he walked of in the other direction.

After you'd been stitched up, Bruce left you and Steve alone. "How does it feel." He asked tracing shapes onto your bare skin. You bit your lip.

"Okay." You managed without a moan. "Steve..." you started.

"Y/N, i think I'm in love with you." He said cutting you off. You blinked in surprise.

"Really?" He nodded. "Me too Steve Roger's me too." He lent down and kissed you, hunger taking over you both. He climbed over the top of you, his lips on your neck. You could barely believe what was happening.

"Jarvis, turn off the cameras and alert me of anyone comes near."

"Yes miss." You let out a groan as Steve slipped off your nightdress. He undressed himself quickly.

"You sure you want this?" You asked breathlessly.

"I want you." Was all he answered with.

And all you could say, was thank fuck for that serum.
