Sheilded (Steve x reader)

08.

"Y/N? The mission tonight had been compromised. We're all going in search of the Shadows 'home'." You nodded absently, you hadn't been able to get the smile off your face all day. Nat had known straight away, and wouldn't stop teasing you.

Steve had been avoiding Bucky, as that would be a weird conversation. Oh by the way I slept with your daughter last night and she was amazing. You giggled to yourself as you picked at the sandwich, ironically you wanted cheese.

It was nearly time for yours and Peters fake date. You were about to head over to Queens. You left the sandwich on the table. You hugged Tony. "I'm off to see Peter. I'll be back later." He nodded. You walked down outside, where Sam and Steve were sparing.

"Stevie I'm gonna go to Peter's now." You called. Steve overpowered Sam and ran over to you.

"Okay doll," he pressed a quick kiss to your lips. "Stay safe." He said, you kissed him again.

"I will, bye Sam!" You called, to the sweating, exhausted man lying on the grass. He gave you a small wave as you ran towards the car. Happy was already waiting, you climbed in the front and told him to go to Peter's apartment.

"So what have you got planned for the rest of the day?" You asked messing with your necklace.

"Well I'm getting some cheese burgers for Tony, and then I was going to get Pepper, but with recent events Tony doesn't think it's a good idea. How is the wound by the way?"

"Okay, luckily it was me, being immune to arsenic and all that." Happy nodded.

Your drove in a peaceful silence until you reached Peter's apartment, you thanked Happy and climbed out. As you walked to the door a girl walked out, crashing head on into you. You staggered backwards.

"I'm so sorry." She said pulling our her ear phones. You squinted at her.

"Are you MJ?" She gasped.

"Your Y/N Stark!" She said in awe. "Ur yeah I'm MJ. How did you know?" Crap.

"Umm, I speak to Peter quite a lot while he's on his intern ship with my dad, so he he mentioned you." You said a little too fast.

"Really?" She asked her eyes wide.

"Uh huh. Now if you'll excuse me I've come to give him some more work." She nodded and held the door open for you, you thanked her and ran upstairs. Peter opened the door for you. "Ohmygod." You panted.

He frowned. "What?"

"I just bumped into MJ, had to lie so much." You said breathless considering your an avenger.

"Are you sure your okay?" He asked with a slight chuckle. You made a grunting sound. "Well, let's go then."

The dinner had been lovely, or the horror movie had made you scream. And the walk along the bridge in the sunset was beautiful. Happy had picked you both up as you had assured Peter she was going to love it.

Everyone was already suited up when you got there. Peter change in Tony's room while you dashed into yours to get your suit. You met back in the living room. Steve slipped his arm round your waist. Nick was there too explaining the mission, this more than just a mission, you thought. This man was an international threat.

"Okay so Sam and Clint you will be clearly the area from up high, Tony's going to drop you on the roof." You glanced over at Clint not realising he'd come back. "After that Tony you blast your way in the back, you'll have Nat with you, your objective is to find the computer room and get all the information onto a hard drive.

"Steve you will go with Bucky and try and find the other captives." You felt your gut twist as you looked at Peter. You hated being responsible for him. "Peter your going to stay here, as your not a registered avenger the Shadow wont try and kill you. You have to defend the tower." He nodded. You felt your heart beating even harder.

"Y/N your job is by far the hardest. Because Rhodey is out of action you'll be alone." Steve's grip on your waist tightened. "Using your manipulation I need you to get as much information from the leaders as possible." You felt your lungs fill with dread. But you managed a curt nod.

Tony looked fearfully at you. You pulled away from Steve and hugged your Dad tightly. "I'll be okay. I promise." You whispered.

"If anyone can do it you." He muttered back. You nodded forcing a smile.

The ride to the base was quiet. Everyone stealing glances at you. Did they think you couldnt do it? Or was there something they knew that you didnt. You sat inbetween Steve and Tony. Your hand entwined with Steve's, your head on Tony's shoulder.

"Dad?" You said eventually. He grunted. "Is there something going on?" He glanced sideways at you.

"Its better you dont know. Trust me
Y/N. It's got nothing to so with you I promise." You nodded trusting in your dad but at the same time the sick rising in your throat was growing harder to control.

The jet landed. Steve kissed you slightly longer than Tony was comfortable with. You managed another weak smile before running off to the gate. "Who are you?" The man at the gate asked. You touched his shoudler sending in fatigue shockwaves just like you'd done for Bucky. You then climbed the gate ignroing the pain as the barbed wire caught you legs.

Dropping down to the other side, you walked towards the door. The only noise you could hear was your own heart beat and the faint blast of Tony's replusers. The door was left unguarded and people rushed to the back to stop Tony's attack. The few men that did look at you were stuck by arrows moments later.

You reached the door, a range of emotions came from inside, fear and panic being the majority. Although you could sense one perfectly calm, person inside. You shouldered the door open, cocking your gun. You shot the three that came running past you. By your calculations that left five in the room in front. Twisting the handle you went inside. Two men were talking three guards surrounding them. You took out two before anyone could react.

The third one dropped moments later. One of the men coward away from you in the corner. The other man, the calm one turned to face you. He pressed a button, and a loud high pitch noise penetrated your ears. You groaned, blinking to stop your vision from blacking out.

Anger and stress started to build up in you again. And before you knew it your own shockwaves were bursting from your body, you sunk to your knees fighting for consciousness. You crawled to the passed out body of the man and turned of the button, and then crushing it in your fist. Touching the face of the man, you jumped into his head.

You saw a childhood where his parents were never around, them setting up this organisation, the attacks from Hydra, wanting their stuff. The anger he felt towards them, the relief to know the Avengers had nearly destroyed them. And then fear, he knew Hydra were stronger than them, and if the Avengers could take them, they could destroy this too.

Deciding to take them out by surprise, and the Shadow being ready for action. You saw the other subjects some beyond use now, either mentally or physically. Apart from one. The flame, he burst into fire making you jump out of his memories. Your hands were shaking as you looked around the office.

You found files which you stuffed in a bag without looking. You crouched beside the other man, and slipped into his head. Surprisingly the information he gave was more useful. This wasnt all they had, a phone call. "The Avengers will go down, we have one on the inside." You pulled away. Panting heavily. One on the inside...

You were up and out of the room. Your pressed your com. "We need to leave, we have bigger problems in our hands now." You opened the fence and ram through, back to the jet where Bruce was waiting. It was stupid, you trusted the team. But memories didnt lie.

The group filed in slowly. They looked at your grave face, and all sunk to the floor.
