The Talos set Maria up to ice out Fury theory -- more unusual stuff surrounding Maria & some Far From Home connections
Oh. No. Another one. I have gone off the rails. This is all I do now. Episode 1 & 2 spoilers below.
I have an extremely long break down post here about some things surrounding Maria and her unforgivable demise on Secret Invasion. I’ve thought of even more things as reviewed some stuff from Far From Home. This is another long one. But so far my theory on Maria’s fate is that Talos has set up Maria, used her as pawn to lure Fury back and then ice Fury out of his network and allies.
Issues from Far From Home:
If you remember when Maria and Nick are the bar in Moscow in Secret Invasion Maria tells Nick that she contacted him at “Talos’s request” but if you recall from the end of Far from Home where Soren (RIP) has shape shifted as Maria and Talos is covering for Nick on earth Talos calls Fury directly. (Link to the scene here). We don’t know if Maria knows that Soren was acting as her in Far From Home and we have no idea where Maria was at this time — but Nick knows Talos and Soren were standing in for him and Maria.
At the very end of the scene TALOS CALLS FURY HIMSELF ON SPEED DIAL. So why would Talos need Maria to contact Nick for him at all? Nick confirms this when he yells at Talos on the train. "YOU KNEW HOW TO CONTACT ME MAN” Maybe ignoring Maria was away to keep her away from the skrulls? (that didn’t work re skrull Ross) Is Talos now actually a villain who used Maria as a pawn (re chess scene where Maria moves the pawn first obviously intentional symbolism here) This never explains why Soren was acting as Maria with Talos standing in for Nick in Far From Home. (or real Maria was just working I guess) I don’t assume we will ever get a clarification on this from Marvel because Maria is stuck in that shitty position of only being someone useful for male story arcs, and then goes back to a no one who doesn’t exist outside of propping up men but it is a bummer if we don’t get this figured out. But if we look at some other things that happened in Secret Invasion episodes 1 & 2 so far theory leans toward Talos set used and then set up Maria.
In my last ridiculously long spiraling out post about Maria’s time on Secret Invasion I mentioned that I think the totally idiotic way in which she and Fury fell into this trap might be a clue within itself. As you can recall in Far From Home, Maria and Nick were also acting bizarrely stupid. I know by mid movie I was punching my best friend saying there was no way Nick and Maria would fall for “Mysterio” In fact as the story started to play out Maria stans were quick to roll their eyes and recall that Maria held a very high position at Stark Industries for some time. Until that end credit scene I was stunned at how stupid Marvel made Maria and Nick look (Nick much more so, but in the end it ended up being Talos and Soren which made more sense). If Fury is ‘always in’ then it seems like he would be above these bonehead moves like he would have been in Far From Home. But if he’s being lead astray by Talos that makes way more sense. If these bonehead moves are what kick him back into gear wouldn’t a real Maria be able to keep him in check unless she was also being played by Talos. She’s bold enough or caring enough to tell Fury to step out of the game and take a break and let someone else handle it but then dumb enough to just follow him into it? He’s not ready but she goes for it with him? I don’t know. The one thing that was nice before we saw the reveal that Maria was Soren was that Skrull Maria in FFH did put Skrull Nick in check a few times.
Ok! Well now let’s also look at a few MORE things from Secret Invasion:
Skrull Ross running away with the plans he stole and then calling Maria for extraction likely means Skrull Ross was going to show Maria the plans he stole to try and get her to contact Fury. Likely this Talos’s plan all along. Interestingly, from what we see after Skrull Ross is exposed Maria does little not notify anyone after learning that she was interacting with Skrull Ross. Were Ross and Maria in Moscow together for something specific? Isn’t Ross supposed to be hiding? Is Maria actually working or off on her own...does she actually cut off communication from her team/crew because there is a Ross Skrull imposter and that’s why she goes with Talos to some safe location that we do not know if it is hers or his? Talos and Maria take the plans Skrull Ross had and then Maria contacts Nick with the encrypted message at least we assume it was her based on the Rhodey conversation with the President. —- We assume Maria is working in Moscow for unknown reasons and she blindly switches to helping Talos and Fury does this mean she stopped working on whatever she was doing and cut off communication? Kind of odd unless she was getting lead on by Talos?
This is totally nothing but in my very first Secret Invasion melt down post over Maria’s death I joked that the only thing we learned about Maria is that she doesn’t change her clothes because she’s wearing the same clothes the whole time. She actually has two sweatshirts at least, one is light gray/whiteish and she has blue jeans, a white undershirt, a blue v-neck, a light grey/white hoodie with a navy peacoat. Someone said Maria has a dark gray and then a light gray hoodie but i think one is light gray and the one at the bar seen is like a dark brown or even dark olive green color!! It’s really hard to tell in the lighting at the bar. But there is a lot of layering of blue and white which probably means something! Her color scheme changes once she starts working with Nick and red is added when Maria gets the cut her nose from fighting G’iah. I thought there was no green on Maria HIll at all but maybe actually there is or it could be a dark gray. This is a tough one I think there is a dark gray sweatshirt and a light one and in this show wardrobe choices do matter.
Maria’s encrypted message she allegedly sends to Nick means that Maria did not want anyone in the government or any infiltrated skrull to see what she wrote to Nick showing that Nick returning from Saber was supposed to be on the down low or that Maria knows Skrulls have infiltrated high level positions or TALOS pretending to send the message as or through Maria knows other skrulls work in the government.
Maria contacts Fury and then picks him up alone and Fury and Maria return to the safe house. If Maria thinks her network is infiltrated by Skrulls and she’s acting in secret with Nick why would she return to a safe house that was set up earlier? I think this location has to be via Talos and not Maria but I don’t know and it does not mean Sonya is not involved with it, but if Sonya is involved with it spying on her there seems like a particularly bad move unless Talos and Sonya are acting in some kind of collab.
Nick goes for a walk at night in Moscow and we know now that Gravik is actually following him as a shapeshifter in a number of forms because we see Gravik shape shift into these same people at the bombing. This means Gravik knew Fury returned to earth when Fury had only been in contact with Maria and then Talos another strike against Talos. Either Gravik was tipped off by someone on Saber or Gravik had already been monitoring Maria and was still able to do so after Maria learned about Skrull Ross which means skrull Ross is likely a red herring and Talos is pulling the strings.
We next have the bizarre and totally lopsided scene where Nick and Talos leave Maria in the car but If Maria was supposed to be on look out for them when they go after the art dealer why would Maria leave her spot and follow G’iah? The dark tunnel fight is apparently where we learn Hill might be the one not up for this fight since she can’t even stop a 5 foot lady from walking ..? Talos comes to help Maria up but she stops him and sends him after G’iah. Maria gets up on her own in a totally weird way, just saying!! G’iah has a break down over seeing Talos for a few moments. When G’iah returns and talks to Gravik she tells him she saw someone and he asks if she could identify them G’iah says no but i thought she is referring to Talos to protect her dad and not mentioning her run in with Maria at all meaning they already know who she is and wouldn’t need to identify her and or that she wouldn’t need to identify Talos to Gravik?
I think that above detail is important because the standard argument is that Gravik learned of Maria at the bar but as my extremely extremely long prior post Gravik may already be in the bar when Fury gets there. Nick comes in and he takes off his gloves and orders a drink. No one follows him inside. If G’iah didn’t identify Hill to Gravik then he already had some clue in of her existence likely via Skrull Ross or Talos! If Gravik wasn’t following Fury into the bar that means he followed Maria there or some how learned they were going there.
As discussed in the last post this whole scene is totally unusual or intentionally different from the kind of scenes we see in Marvel between Maria and Nick. It’s here where Maria echoes Sonya and Talos (i don’t remember which order Maria is when she says this but she is not #1) which is either a clue something is up or Marvel just doing a thing like ‘women telling men to be careful’ I don’t think Maria has to tell Nick to be careful but who knows. Also it’s odd to me that Maria would contact Nick, go pick him up, and then say ‘you know what, maybe just sit this one out pal and watch from the sidelines.” Maybe Talos put this idea in Maria’s head afterward? Why contact Nick at all even if Talos asked her to, if she thinks Nick has changed from the blip wouldn’t she just tell Talos it’s a waste of time, and he hasn’t been responding, wouldn’t Maria ask him to contact Nick himself since he has a direct line that Nick apparently answers? Although I assume Maria doesn’t know this. As we’ve known her Hill is generally nothing but efficient, but ok sure, she calls him down here and then tells him take a break pal, you can’t do it.
Next right before Maria is killed-- in true Maria fashion she stops to help someone ‘find their footing’ which is when Gravik as Fury sees her and calls her over. This is the exact opposite of what happened when Maria and Talos were in the tunnel he tries to stop and help and she points Talos to G’iah. Is this some kind of symbolism? Talos is not killed by G’iah and later it seems like G’iah’s encounter with Maria is forgotten. Maria has a long history of refusing help from people. Helping other people including Nick is what gets her killed.
Does Nick use Maria’s name at all? I thought Gravik called out Hill but I saw a cap that says he called out Maria! I can’t rewatch that scene yet so idk. I think he’s likely aware of her some other way that I assume won’t be fleshed out but I hope it is. When Maria is shot and confused Gravik notices Fury coming up behind her and he then flees. In the soul crushing moment in which Maria tells not asks Nick “it was you” in the chaos Nick says “not me” but it is an interesting choice of words for both of them. Was this choice of words actually Maria giving a last warning to Nick if Maria thought Nick shot her why would she say anything like that at all or why didn’t she ask him why. Was it a fake out Maria trying to truly devastate Nick Fury down to the core?? No but i would kind of love that twist tbh. Why wouldn’t Garvik just finish the job anyway so Fury couldn’t get a last chance to explain it wasn’t him. Ultimately, this is just another moment where a woman’s death is truly all about a man and not her own thing but ok. Maybe just maybe this is a coded warning.
Nick and Talos did blindly accept the intel from G’iah which is more support that Talos is actually a bad actor that set up Maria and got her killed We can also see in the pan out that when Maria dies her feet are pointing to the right which is where Fury was when he was talking to her as she died, I would think her feet would point the other direction if she thought Fury killed her just a thought!
When we meet Maria’s mom, her mom insists that Maria ‘would follow Fury to hell and back’ so telling Fury hey step out of this fight isn’t very Maria like unless that’s a line she was fed which i think it is. Additionally, when Fury doesn’t step out of the ring Maria still follows him to the bombing, which shows she was leaning toward and still loyal toward Fury. Also is ‘to hell and back’ some kind of resurrection clue or a red herring? The casting of Maria’s mom just to say this line is probably more than just nothing or just another woman yelling at Fury. In fact, actually spending the time to cast Maria’s mom to say this line might be a hint about a devil hiding in plain sight like Talos. Remember Marvel treats Maria as a nothing character which is why we don’t get fill info about her like where she has been but then they use her death “to raise the stakes of the show” is she minor or not? (This is the problem I think so many of us have with this plot even though if Talos did set Maria up it is actually a good plot device but could we at least get to know her first geeze)
Of course we don’t know for sure that Rhodey did get Maria’s body back from Russia we just presume it from the scene. But Nick ‘left her body in Russia’ Fury is convinced I guess. Argument for Talos being the bad guy is that Talos is the one who pulls Nick away from Maria but I think Fury could have done more on this. Additionally if Talos is a bad actor leaving an American body in Russia to set off a fire storm would be great for Talos.
To be clear, I think Maria (true Maria) is dead but I think the story of how and why she is dead is more complicated than it seems or at least how it has been addressed in the online breakdowns. I don’t think it’s Nick being dumb I think it’s Talos leading Maria and Nick astray. But the Talos needing Maria to contact Nick for him part really got me and we will never know why Soren was covering for Maria or maybe Fury has always been in as he claims and just got Maria killed as collateral damage because he’s being a bad friend and maybe he licensed her identity out to Skrulls without her knowledge or permission?? Hmm. Overall, what I can get from this is Nick has been a truly, and I mean truly terrible friend to Maria in work, life, and even in death so far, which is a shame since their honest and supportive relationship was the best part of their dynamic. I think what feels like a bad friendship where he ignored Maria for years is lessoned if this is some kind of set up, Nick Fury is not careless and this was carelessness!!
Additionally I am still holding out for Maria content somewhere in the MCU or in Secret Invasion as an interview Cobie did says she “had a lot of scenes at the same time as Don” so maybe we will have flashbacks coming. I also think Cobie is giving us secret messages like when she wore a neon green skirt for Secret Invasion press day and then a sheer black dress at the premiere. Recently in one interview I saw Cobie quotes as saying she “was told the skrulls would shoot Maria” years ago. I assume Marvel coached her on this choice of words because she didn’t say she was told the skrulls “kill Maria.” And as Cobie has said herself “her death feels real, it looked real to me but I don’t know.” In the same boat with all of us I guess.
Let me know what you think, sorry for yet another very very long read! Please share/comment/reblog and tell me what you think! I am desperate for someone to talk about this with!

little situation | part 1.
Summary: For years, HYDRA had been trying to use the samples of Steve’s DNA to make another super-soldier. They finally succeed and when S.H.I.E.L.D. breaks her out, Cap is forced to come face to face with his kid and figure out parenting on an Avengers’ lifestyle.
Warnings: maybe potential childhood trauma but nothing really
Pairing: Steve Rogers x blackdaughter!reader, avengers x child!reader (all clearly platonic and I’m only making that note on the first part)
Word Count: 2.4k
(Series Masterlist)
The absolute last thing the Avengers wanted to see in a busted down shawarma shop was a pristine looking Nick Fury. They sighed and took aggressive bites of their food as the Director stepped into the restaurant, trying to avoid the rubble.
“I’m sorry to interrupt your fun—”
“Are you really?” Tony cut him off but Nick continued as if he didn’t.
“You’re needed back at S.H.I.E.L.D. we have a little situation involving Cap.”
“Little situation?”
“About, ye big.” Nick held up a hand at a height in between his chest and waist.
No one knew what the hell he meant. They took final bites and dragged their bodies from the chairs and followed Nick. Thor, Steve, and Bruce were already feeling less tired making the other three Avengers a little jealous as they made their way to headquarters. Nick guided them to the large conference room and left for a brief moment. When he returned, the newly formed Avengers looked at the kid tucked behind him. Your hair was tangled and matted which stood out against the small S.H.I.E.L.D. t-shirt turned dress you wore that had you looking relatively clean… and you were barefoot?
“Oh, an actual little situation. When in the hell did you get a kid?” Tony asked.
“She’s not mine dumbass, that’s where Captain Rogers comes in.”
The team turned to look at Steve who seemed just as shocked and confused. Nick pointed you to the empty chair beside Steve. You quietly walked over, hands clasped behind your back, and sat down. You pulled the chair into the table and only looked at Nick, not knowing anyone else in the room. Although you barely knew the director, but a few hours was more than the rest of the people at the table.
There were two thoughts going in the Avengers’ heads. One, how the hell did Steve have a child who was clearly too old to be right after he was taken off ice. And two, you looked absolutely nothing like Steve. Brown hair, skin, and eyes. Everything opposite the Abercrombie & Fitch poster boy.
“Miss Rogers was rescued from a HYDRA facility, an attempt at reopening the Red Room. Along with Dr. Erskine’s stolen notebooks apparently some of your DNA was also stolen, Cap. Miss Rogers is the first child to survive after birth.”
“You’re positive she’s the only one?” Clint asked, his fatherly instincts already kicking in.
“Yes. While we couldn’t recover Dr. Erskine’s files, we found their logs. None of the other children seemed to survive, inheriting some of Cap’s ailments from before the serum or their mothers died before giving birth.”
Steve shifted uncomfortably. “And when we say DNA…”
“Dr. Erskine ever hand you a cup not for a drug test… your silence answers that for me. We’ll gladly do a paternity test again with you here but from the swabs when we defrosted you, it’s a match.”
Nick tossed a file to Steve and pulled up the same one on a screen for the rest of the team to see. Steve flipped through it, seeing your age. Twelve. Born at the turn of the new millennium. According to the file, HYDRA picked your mother based on IQ— apparently one that could rival Tony or Bruce— kidnapping her when on a graduate trip to Russia. You were supposed to be the perfect combination of the best attributes… and then they killed your mother in front of you when you were old enough to process death. HYDRA spent years trying to break you so they could send you into the Red Room and remold you as the perfect spy. But instead of breaking you, they just made you retreat into your shell.
“Miss Rogers did inherit some of your former ailments, Cap. Partial deafness and color blindness.”
“You were color blind?” Nat asked at the same time Clint asked about him being deaf.
“Yeah, born deaf in my right ear and deutan color blindness. Made it hard to tell the difference blue and purple most times, not too bad. The asthma and scarlet fever was a lot worse.”
Steve looked back at your file and saw it was recorded that you had moderate deafness also in your right ear, which was the current side of your face he was staring at, but you were hard of hearing in the other. Your color blindness was the same as his. He frowned as he searched for an identification other than Rogers. He tapped you on the shoulder and you turned to look at him.
“What’s your name? They didn’t include it.”
“001.”
Steve looked back at the table. “You’re kidding, they didn’t even… your mother didn’t name you?”
“They wouldn’t let her.”
“Do you have one you’d like?”
You just shrugged and looked at the floor before looking back up realizing you’d need to read his lips for ease of conversation.
“Is Sarah okay?”
You nodded.
“That was my mom’s name… do you know your mother’s?”
You brought your knees up and grabbed them as the tears started. Quickly you panicked and wiped them away mumbling sorry. Steve almost reached out and then pulled back, thinking it was a bad idea. You were used to getting hit by agents at the facility if you cried.
“No one’s going to hurt you here for showing emotions,” Natasha spoke up, hoping that you would hear a little bit since your head was currently buried. She knew exactly what you were going through.
You kept crying and they knew you didn’t. When your knees brushed against the table, Clint started knocking on it. The vibrations made you look up at him and he tapped his own ears, drawing your attention to his hearing aids. Clint signed what Nat had said.
“Elise,” you said looking back at Steve.
“Alright, Sarah Elise Rogers. That sound good to you?”
When you nodded, Steve seemed satisfied. They disbanded and he pulled Tony and Clint aside. Right away, Tony agreed to getting you fitted with hearing aids like Clint only in a color that worked for you. And Clint agreed to help him with sign language.
“I thought you would’ve known a bit.”
Clint was sitting outside the lab with Steve, watching Tony fit you with hearing aids.
“My mother told me to read lips and always turn to the left. She was Irish and a single mom, she didn’t want another reason for people to look down on us.”
“I’m sorry man… are you sure you can take care of a kid? Don’t tell anyone else I told you but I’ve got a small family farm, my wife and I don’t mind another little one running around. Well, older one. She beats Coop by barely two years.”
“Thank you. I don’t know if I can do it at all but I don’t think I should leave her. She needs at least one of her real parents.”
“Commendable, Cap. You ever need any help, don’t hesitate to ask.”
“Let’s hope I don’t mess the kid up.”
“Anything away from the Red Room is already an improvement for her.”
Tony pressed the button on your (f/c) aids to turn them on.
“How’s that… too loud?” He said as you clutched the left ear.
Tony readjusted it to account for the fact that your left side wasn’t as bad as your right.
“How bout now kid?”
You blinked rapidly and looked around.
“Should I be able to hear them outside the lab?”
“You can hear them?!”
Tony apologized when he saw how quickly you hung your head after he yelled. He had to reassure you that you weren’t in trouble and he wasn’t yelling out of anger at you but surprise. Tony left you in the lab and walked out with a set of hearing aids. He shoved them into Clint’s hand and the man automatically began exchanging his for the new ones.
“Sarah? Start talking,” Tony said at a normal level. “Clint, can you hear her?”
“No, why?”
“Turn it all the way up, now?”
“Still nothing.”
“Steve can you hear her?”
“Yeah no problem. Why?”
“Cause once I put the hearing aids on she could hear you two. Your ailments from before are like a layer on top of the serum but once peeled back she’s just like you… better watch what you say when the kid has them in.”
“Thank you, Tony. Both of you. Sarah, let’s go,” he called into the lab.
The three men watched you hop down from the table and enter the hallway, the too large shoes that had been given to you by a random agent flopping about. Tony and Clint stayed back and looked on as Steve gently placed a hand on your shoulder to guide you with him out of the building. It was the weirdest picture but if anyone could pull it off, they thought it might be Steve.
~~
“It’s not much, but I wasn’t expecting a second person exactly,” Steve said as he opened the door to his D.C. apartment.
You two had landed from New York when it got dark outside.
“I’m sorry,” you mumbled an apology.
“Nothing to be sorry for Sarah. You stay right here, get comfortable. My house is our house now.”
Steve left to knock on his neighbor’s door, hoping the blonde woman would be there and not already starting the night shift of her hospital job. A few knocks later and she opened the door.
“Hi, Steve.”
“Hello Kate, um, this is going to be weird but I have a kid and her mom’s passed so she’s living with me now but I don’t have anything for a little girl. Would it be at all possible— just for tonight and maybe tomorrow morning— then we’ll go shopping,” Steve stumbled over his words.
“How old?”
“She’s twelve.”
“Hmm, let me check real quick. I’m bound to have some smaller items.”
His neighbor came back with more than enough for the night and next morning. She handed them to Steve with a warm smile.
“Thank you so much.”
Steve returned to find that you hadn’t moved from where he had left you. Still frozen in place, hands behind back.
“You don’t have to wait for me to say anything. This really is your place too now Sarah. Here, the bathroom is the middle door. You hungry?”
You nodded and took the pile of clothes to the guest bathroom. Steve started scrambling around to find something to make. He realized that even though it was late, most pizza places were still open so he placed an order for a simple large cheese pizza— half with pepperoni. Steve wasn’t sure if HYDRA had ever given you a pizza so this seemed like a treat? He liked pizza when he was twelve, still did now.
The smell alone of food could’ve lured you out of the bathroom. You were wearing his neighbor’s small zip up hoodie and old leggings. Steve sat down on the couch and opened the big box, beckoning you over to sit down and eat.
“Sarah? You’re not at HYDRA anymore, I won’t hurt you or let others hurt you. You don’t have to be afraid alright?”
“Alright.”
“You’re lying,” he chuckled when you looked up. “I used to lick my top lip too, right before a lie.”
“I’m so—”
“And we don’t have to apologize for something that’s not that big a deal or we didn’t do wrong. Listen, I have no clue what I’m doing and I’m sure your mother would’ve been a thousands times better but you’re mine and I’m gonna take care of you alright.”
“Alright.”
Steve sat back, knowing you told the truth. “I have shampoo and conditioner to wash your hair, get those tangles out.”
You looked down at the pizza slice. “I already tried.”
Steve looked at your hair. It wasn’t just matted, it wasn’t completely curly. He could see straight ends and bits that didn’t look as shiny as the others. Steve didn’t know anything about your hair but he was sure that it shouldn’t look like that. You knew it too.
ASL was the only thing about you that HYDRA accommodated to— but even then you were mainly yelled at and forced to read lips. But your hair, not taken care of. Your skin and nutrition, not taken care of like it should’ve been. And they never gave you hearing aids, just forced you to strain your left ear in attempts to hear them.
“I want to get rid of it,” you said after a moment. “All of it.”
“Okay, I have clippers in my bathroom. Do you want to do it now?”
You nodded and set down the pizza. Steve walked into his bathroom and you followed closely behind. He searched his lower cabinet for the clippers. Making sure the guard was on, he plugged in the clippers. Steve moved you to stand in front of him and he very carefully glided the clippers through your hair. You watched yourself in the mirror as the damaged curls hit the bathroom floor.
Steve looked at you through the mirror and then focused back on your hair. He was so unsure how he found himself in this situation, well he knew how but it was still overwhelming. Taking care of a kid was something he had never done before. He was an only child and sure he babysitted Bucky’s younger sister before but that was with Bucky. And you weren’t his younger sister but his actual kid.
You ran a hand over your newly shaven head. It was a close cut but not completely squeaky clean bald. It felt weird but also like a weight was lifted off of your shoulders. Like you could start over with… you didn’t know what to call Steve. He didn’t say.
“What do I call you?”
“Um, I haven’t really thought about that. Whatever you want.”
Steve waited for a suggestion from you but you said nothing. He patted your shoulder and moved to get a broom to sweep up the hair on the floor. You stared at yourself while he was gone. Maybe it was because of how you looked but you still didn’t expect Steve to be your dad. You knew how genetics worked, of course it was more likely that you looked like your mother than your father but you couldn’t see a single bit of physical resemblance to Steve. Well there was one but right now it wasn’t too noticeable. Captain America’s genes were very strong, which was kind of the point. The one physical thing was the lighter hair. Constantly dyed a dark brown almost black, your hair was actually honey blonde like Steve’s.
“You can take the bed,” Steve said as he swept the floor. “The guest bedroom has nothing in it right now. Goodnight, Sarah.”
“Night.”

I have an idea! What would Allies do after finding out that their s/o have (another) stalker? It can be another yandere, a creep, ex, jealous coworker with bad intentions or even a serial killer.
And a good idea it is, my dear anon.
Yandere Allies – Feindling
America
You were already fast asleep, snoozing away under the covers in your shared bedroom. He, on the other hand, was still wide awake and had decided to settle down in the living room to do some light reading. His insomnia was due to the usual reasons – too much caffeine, too much stress, too much curiosity to just let the day finish.
And because he was worried, intently, about you. There was somebody else trying to stick their grubby fingers in your shared life, and pry you apart. That was something he was absolutely sure off. After living so long, and becoming paranoid due to his position on the global stage, he knew very well when he was being watched.
There was something after you in particular, he didn’t like it.
Out of his peripheral vision, he caught sight of somebody moving in the bushes. A spike of adrenaline shot through his body, and for a moment he was tempted to storm about side and give that creep a hook. Yet a better idea came to mind – first to fire a warning shot.
He net his book aside and sauntered to one of the glass door to the balcony and gave the pane a few sharp knocks. It was enough to catch their attention. It was almost comical how the figure froze, and the hood swivelled in his direction. Alfred couldn’t identify them in any capacity – they wore non-script jeans and a grey hoodie along with a pair of gloves. But this was about digging up the war axe.
Grinning, he flipped the bird at them, and then proceeded to draw a thin line across his throat in an unmistakable message.
Alfred would see this as a chance to play hero. He would finally be able to prove to you how capable he is at protecting you, how attentive he would be when it would water down to your safety. Of course, he would make sure there would be a lot he wouldn’t catch wind off – it would be the instances where he would come off as an evil master mind or as a control freak that he would skilfully hide from you.
He might or might not elect to torture the fool that would be stalking you. For him, waterboarding that creep would be a method of stress relief. It would also drive home the point that nobody should dare try to get between him and his sweetie.

Besides you, your phone beeped for what must have been the twelfth time in the span of one minute. You sobbed harder and buried your face in his chest. Matthew calmly stroked your back, making quiet soothing noises as he held you close.
“(Ex) will have to leave you be someday. This can’t go on forever. One day that jerk will have to accept that you’re gone for good”, he told quietly, while cautiously shifting his position to a more comfortable one.
You were both on the backseat of his car, having sought sanctuary there after you started panicking upon seeing the messages. All the memories had started to overwhelm you, and you had gripped his arm as if it was the only thing that was preventing you from drowning.
“No, that won’t be the case. Before I met you, I tried to leave so often only to be lured back into it. It was only because I met you that I haven’t gone back”, you cried, gazing up at him with a tear-stricken face.
“Shh, I will think of something. There shall be hell to pay.”
Matthew would be concerned about your wellbeing first and foremost. He would cater to you, cuddle with you, sooth you. But don’t think that would mean he would go easy on you should you step out of line and try to flee from him. When he would say he would never let your ex take you back, he would be indirectly saying he would never allow you to leave him.
Naturally, he would be careful and avoid any explicit rhetoric stating that your place in the world is at his side, but the message would be there, hidden between the lines.
With the legal sway he would hold, he would easily have your ex punished in some capacity. This could range from a fine to a restrain order to spending some time in jail.
China
A scream pierced the silence of the night, followed by a yell as the attacker was swept off his feet. Yao didn’t hesitate to continue beating the culprit up, even though he was on the ground.
After all, this was a man that had just been a few milliseconds away from dragging you away and murdering you, after doing unspeakable things to you, things that couldn’t be lightly talked about in any context.
“So, you’re the vermin that has been butchering people left and right for the past four months. You’re just as disgusting as I expected”, Yao commented as he brought his foot down on his back in a harsh stamp.
You had taken seat on a tree stump that was standing by. The near death experience and the fight going on in front of you had utterly rattled you. You were numbly staring at the scene playing out, heads in your hands, whole body trembling and eyes wide blown.
He kicked the killer in the side and was rewarded was a grunt and a hiss: “And I’ll fucking kill you too.”
“Sure you will”, Yao drawled sarcastically and pressed the criminals head into the dirt. “Get used to the taste of it.”
Contrary to expectations, Yao would approach the situation of serial killer being after you calmy. Not because he wouldn’t care about you, but rather because he would be far to old to be surprised by such a – in his eyes – trivial thing. And because he would know that letting himself drown in anger or panic would just result in him making grave mistakes – ie. losing you.
Nevertheless, he would never be far off, lurking behind corners, just out of sight of you and the murderer. He would also scoure your online activity, searching for any suspicious doings from other users. Furthermore he would use the opportunity to learn more about you and your strengths and weaknesses.
England
“Ah, ah, ah. Keep your dirty paws off that”, Arthur chided Jane and firmly grabbed Jane by the ear, harshly tugging there. It wasn’t the most humane treatment of a mortal, that England knew very well. However, he was in a sour mood, your infuriating co-worker being one of the contributing factors to it. Besides, he hadn’t made it one of his life maximas to be nice.
“You dare”, she hissed. When he gave another sharp tug, she yelped and dropped your phone, showing one of your social media profiles. Jane Smithers was persistent, he would have to give her that. Yet that would just be her downfall because she had decided to use that trait to try to ruin your life.
“Oh yes I dare. I dare to not tolerate your disgusting behaviour. Between you and me, we’re going to have a very long talk about your morals.”
She snorted and grabbed his hand.
“I could sue you for sexual harassment. We’ll see if you’ll still be laughing then.”
Oh, he had expected such a threat to come from such a vile person as her. He chuckled lowly – did she really think she could best him when it came to anything.
“And then spend some time in the nick for lying to judge and jury. Don’t think you’d be able to weasel your way out of this. I’m the one here that can have your framed and believe me, I could get you a bloody life sentence.”
She stared at him, uncomprehending, before realisation dawned and she let out a harsh laugh.
“So that is how (l/n) did it. Slept the way to the top.”
“No. (Y/n) has talent, impeccable talent. So unlike you, my dearest never had to resort to the methods you were so kind to mentioned.”
Arthur would see it as his duty to protect you – your physical & mental wellbeing as well as your reputation. So of course he would go after any jealous co-worker that would try to ruin you to any extent. And as mentioned in the snippet above, he wouldn’t be exactly nice about it. Any means would do for him, as long as the risk of his machinations backfiring on him and you would be relatively low.
During the whole process, he would letting you know about everything. It would be his point of proving that the world is a horrible place and that you can only find solace in his company and attention.
France
Francis was in the kitchen when you came stumbling in, frazzled and panting as If you had just run a marathon. By the way your extremities were trembling and sweat dotted your forehead, he wouldn’t be surprised. The only question was why.
Aside from that, fear danced in your eyes, and that was the only further information he needed to know that something was wrong. Rushing forward, he scooped you in his arms, ignoring the coffee that he had been preparing, and asked you:
“What happened, ma cherie?”
Instead of answering, you leaned your head against his shoulder and wrapped your arms around his torso, taking heavy, laboured breaths, as if you were crying. That was when he realised that you were. It worried him.
Was this something that he had done? What had caused you to become so distressed? Was it something he could fix.
“You don’t have to talk about it now if you don’t want to”, he offered shakily, unsure about what he should do to cheer you up. How could he, when he didn’t know why you were in such a state?
Thankfully, you supplied him with an explanation, one that caused his concern to freeze to ice cold anger: “There is some creep following me. He grabbed my butt when I got off the bus.”
Whoever that devil was, he was going to have hell to pay,
Francis would be enraged that somebody would be so disrespectful of your boundaries and of the fact that you’re already taken. In the brief moments of his more intense bouts of fury, he might do something as rash as to track the creep down and bludgeon him with something, probably a newspaper.
However, his preferred method would be character assassination (this would work especially well if the culprit in question would have a high social status) and verbal abuse. In this case, his revenge could be long-winded and very elaborate.
Russia
The temperature of the corridor had dropped since the last time he had visited – a testimony to the bad insulation and the approaching winter. Ivan thought it did her justice. After all, she did deserve this after nearly kidnapping you.
Speaking of her, she was sitting near the bars when he approached and when she glimpsed him, she quickly scooted away. Clever; she had learned from what had occurred the last time.
“Come to taunt me again?”, she seethed, curling into a tight, haggard ball of fury. Understandable in her case, however he wouldn’t shed any tears or have any sleepless nights.
“As is customary. I have to elevate your boredom somehow”, he confirmed, grabbing a chair and seating himself opposite her.
She stared at the door at the end of the passage, hungerly tracing it and searching the shadows for any sign of you. Ivan derived pleasure from mocking her: “How foolish are to think I would have brought my lover with me? I didn’t the last few times so why should it any different now?”
“You’re so very attached to (y/n), so I had my hopes.”
“Then I’ll have to forever dash them. That I owe you.”
She snarled at this; face twisted to a nasty frown.
“You know, you and I aren’t so different. So it is even more hypocritical of you to claim the moral high ground. Does (y/n) know even half of the things you’ve done in the name of your love?”
“I detest the comparison. I walk free while you rot in solitude, unloved and unwanted. While you have done everything wrong, I have done what was right where it counted most. You go very far by suggesting anything else.”
Russia would be the one to act the most intense of all the allies. He would have had people that were dear to him ripped away from him in the past, so he invest a lot of energy in insuring that wouldn’t happen to you and him.
That would mean he would go up to 11 in this case. As in, he would either kill this person and dissolve their body in acid or feed it to the pigs. Or he would leave this other yandere to rot somewhere after having dragged them before court for a very showy trail to break their spirit.

Ghost of You [Two]
Series summary: Bucky has worked hard to come to terms with his past and enjoy the new life he’s been given. But his mind is still plagued by nightmares of what he’s done and by the face of an unknown woman. What happens when the team is tasked with recovering another Winter Solider, causing Bucky’s past and present to collide in the form of the woman from his dreams?
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader, Steve Rogers x Reader (platonic)
Chapter warnings: Mentions of panic attacks. Mild angst and swearing.
Word count: 2,303
A/N: Thank you for all the love on the first part! Feedback is always appreciated. 😊 This chapter sets up the mission and brings Bucky one step closer to reader. Hope people enjoy! Gif not mine.
Chapter Two
Bucky’s ears are ringing. The palm of his flesh hand and the back of his neck are coated in hot sweat, his heart pounding erratically in his chest.
“…so I do apologize, but we think we need everyone on this one.” Steve is focusing on Bucky, whose stare is unmoving from the picture on the screen. “Buck?”
“Hm?” Bucky clears his throat, finally tearing his eyes from the woman he sees in his dreams. “Sorry, what?”
Steve’s brow slightly furrows, a mixture of concern and impatience coloring his features. “I was just saying, I’m sorry we’re asking you to take part in this mission, but we’ll need everyone.”
“Oh.” Bucky’s voice is small as he attempts to hide the inner swell of turmoil building up inside. “Yeah, s’fine.”
“Are you alright?” Steve’s eyes are unwavering.
The muscles of Bucky’s jaw twitch under his skin as he clenches his back teeth. Swallowing hard, he nods his head timidly before pulling himself together and giving Steve a confident “yes.”
He goes to reach for his water again, but stops when he sees his hand is visibly shaking. Instead, he places them in his lap, wringing his fingers together to bring back some sort of controlled sensation to his body. After a few silent deep breathes, Bucky is able to focus on the rest of the briefing.
“So this pretty face you see is Y/F/N Y/L/N,” Nick Fury explains, enlarging the picture of the woman and gesturing with his hands. “And just like our friend Barnes here,” he offers a hand in Bucky’s direction, “she’s another Winter Solider.”
The room is already quiet as Fury speaks, but after those words, it seems every white noise is silenced. The air is still, as if everyone is holding their breath in anticipation for what Fury says next. He pauses before continuing, looking around the room to register everyone’s reactions, and ensuring his team members are hearing him clearly.
“Now, we don’t know much about her except that she was kept in the same facilities as you, Barnes.” He’s looking at Bucky again, a quick nod of his head. “And it looks like Hydra isn’t quite done with her yet, but we were finally able to get intel on her current location.”
The screen behind Fury changes, a broad map of Belarus appearing before it magnifies and highlights what looks to be a small village close to the border of Russia.
Original.
“Our mission is to extract Y/L/N from the Hydra base she is currently being kept at and bring her back here. We want her alive and in one piece if possible.” Fury shifts his gaze around the room.
“Sorry,” Natasha begins, raising a hand, “but if she’s another Winter Soldier, shouldn’t we take her to a place that’s a bit more secure? Like Raft? I mean, we don’t know how dangerous she is.”
Bucky is staring at her, a trace of anger starting to rise up inside him. The whirring of his left hand is muffled from under the table as he clenches it into a fist in an attempt to get his emotions in check.
You don’t know her.
He knows Natasha is right. If this woman is a Winter Soldier like him, they don’t know what she’s capable of, but there’s a nagging feeling inside Bucky’s chest that he needs to protect her.
“You’re right,” Fury answers, “we don’t know how dangerous she is, but our plan is to bring her back here so we can closely monitor her and hopefully extract some useful Hydra information out of her.”
Natasha nods her head in acknowledgment, writing a quick note on the paper in front of her.
“Yeah, and just to piggy back off of that,” Tony states, “I’ve had some remodeling done downstairs. She’ll be kept in a solitary room with reinforced steel walls; one way in, one way out type deal. The door can only be opened with pre-approved fingerprints, and she’ll be under 24 hour surveillance.”
A blister of irritation forms in Bucky’s chest as everyone talks about her as if she is some thing and not a person. But as much as he hates the thought of her being kept in what is essentially a prison cell, he unfortunately understands. The risk is too high to not take every precaution necessary, because one mistake could result in disastrous consequences; something he knows all too well.
The briefing concludes, and the team is informed they will be leaving in two days for Belarus.
Bucky has two days to get himself together and sort through the new storm of complex emotions surging inside him. A tornado of confusion, anger, and despair. But at the eye of the storm is the most complex emotion of all: love.
A gentle hand grasps Bucky’s shoulder as he exits the briefing room, pulling him to a stop and he turns to face Steve.
“Hey,” Steve begins, “are you sure you’re alright? You can do this mission?”
Bucky pauses, looking at his friend’s face and seeing genuine concern in his eyes. “Course, Stevie. Don’t worry about me, punk.” A forced smile is on Bucky’s face as he pats Steve’s back.
Steve releases Bucky’s shoulder and watches as he enters the elevator.
The moment Bucky is back in his room, he rushes to the bathroom. The swelling storm inside him is unmerciful as he feels the rise of bile burn the back of his throat. He retches into the toilet, eyes watering and body heaving forwards.
After a short while, Bucky is wiping his mouth with a towel from the floor. He leans against the cool tile wall, knees up and elbows resting on top. Eyes closed as his head remains still, his breathing returning to a normal rhythm.
Fuck.
Eventually, Bucky finds the energy to brush his teeth and climb into bed. Steve had rang him for dinner, but Bucky wasn’t hungry. He doesn’t think he could eat anything even if he was.
The team issued tablet is clutched in Bucky’s grasp while he lays in his dimly lit room. He’s been staring at the woman’s picture for God knows how long. It’s one thing to see her in his subconscious mind, the unknown but familiar force that soothed his tempestuous nightmares, but to see her now, when he’s awake and conscious, is entirely different. It was like an out of body experience.
The battle between his heart and mind is slowly coming to a resolution, with his mind surrendering to the fact that he does know this woman. She stares back at Bucky, features glum with a sadness in her eyes he’s certain once had a look of love.
A love for him.
Beside the woman’s face is a name. Her name. And Bucky instantly committed it to memory. He had said it to himself probably a thousand times since he heard it for the first time a few hours prior. After seeing this woman countless times in his dreams, she finally has a name.
Y/N.
__________
Two days fly by in an instant. Bucky tries his best to compose himself before the mission, sort out his emotions and separate work from personal issues. Two days wasn’t nearly enough time, but he was confident there would never be enough time.
He sits in the back of the Quinjet, squeezing his hands and twisting his fingers. Incessantly bouncing his right leg as he takes quiet deep breaths, eyes closed.
“Are you okay?” Wanda’s kind voice breaks through Bucky’s spiraling mind, his eyes darting open to look up at her as she stands before him. Her brow is furrowed, a tender look on her face.
Bucky clears his throat, running his sweaty palms over the tops of his thighs and nodding his head. “Yeah, yeah, I’m alright. Just, y’know, these missions get to me sometimes.” He tries to force a genuine smile to sell his answer, a slight shrug of his shoulders.
Wanda bows her head, contemplating his response.
Bucky knows she’s able to sense others’ energies, maybe even read minds. After a moment, she seems to accept his response.
“Okay, if you say so.” She pauses for a moment, looking Bucky directly in the eye and he wills them to not give him away. “If you ever need to talk, Bucky, I’m here. Please remember that.” She reaches forward and gently squeezes his right shoulder. “I may be young, but I have seen a lot.”
A hushed sigh of relief escapes Bucky as he reaches to grasp Wanda’s hand on his shoulder. “Thanks, Wanda.” His voice is soft and he returns her smile with a sincere one of his own.
One final look between them and Wanda is moving to take her seat towards the front of the Quinjet.
“Okay, ladies and gentlemen,” Sam’s voice comes from the pilot’s seat, his arms moving around as he presses buttons and flips switches, “please keep arms and legs inside the ride at all times. Trust me.” He’s peering around his seat, an impish smirk on his face.
Bucky rolls his eyes and shakes his head.
When the Quinjet finally takes off, anxiety quickly festers his insides again. The mantra that plays like a broken record chants in his mind.
You can do this, you can do this.
The journey to Belarus is a handful of hours. Even with jet engines and high-speed velocity, their destination won’t come fast enough for Bucky. He concentrates on the changing views outside, Sam’s annoying voice as he tells lame jokes, the bothersome fabric of his tactical pants that digs into his waist.
Anything besides what is waiting for them, him, on the other side.
But the uncertainty of what could happen continuously pushes itself to the forefront of his mind. Not knowing what type of state she will be in, both mentally and physically, is a concerning thought that’s making his head hurt. And on top of that, not knowing what his own reaction will be to seeing her is the throbbing ache behind his eyes.
He knows he probably shouldn’t be on this mission. If the cognitive daze he had been in the past few days was any indication to how this mission was going to go, then he sure as hell knows he definitely shouldn’t be on this mission. But the prospect of there being someone from his past, someone who he held a connection with deeper than anyone in his life, past and present, then he had to see it for himself. To know it was and is real.
That she is real.
Not soon enough, but at the same time, all too quickly, Sam is landing the Quinjet in a small open field a few miles out from the Hydra base. The team begins adjusting and inspecting their tactical gear, and arming themselves with the necessary weapons. Bucky watches in a trance for a moment, not fully accepting his current reality.
When he catches a glimpse of Wanda looking at him with a subtle hint of curiosity, he pushes himself to stand. He retrieves his gun from its holding place above his seat, checking it with shaking hands.
You can do this.
“Okay, listen up everyone, here’s the plan,” Tony speaks, holding out his palm where a computerized blueprint of the Hydra base appears. “Sam and I will be air support, we’ll fly ahead and scan for threats first. Cap and Romanoff,” he points to them with his other hand, “you’ll take the south side. Barnes and Maximoff,” he turns to look at them, “you’ll enter from the north side.”
Waving the opposite hand, he moves the CGI building around, focusing in on a specific area before he continues.
“This base has three levels. Clint and Vision,” he glances to them, “you’ll cover the top floors while the rest of the team enters. Our intel tells us Y/L/N is probably being held somewhere in the sub-level, so that’s where we’ll start.”
The virtual blueprint disappears and Tony drops his hand, looking to Steve and giving him a nod, signaling that he’s finished. Steve returns the gesture before turning to address the team.
“Alright everyone,” Steve starts, standing tall by the ramp with his thumbs hooked into the belt of his suit, “the mission is to get in and get out as quickly as possible, only engage if you have to.”
A pause before he says his next words, scanning everyone’s faces as he continues. “Hydra isn’t expecting us here today, so their defenses should be low and their offenses weak, but we can’t take any risks. We need to be prepared for anything.” His concerning gaze lands on Bucky. “Know your job. Stay alert. Stay focused.”
Bucky swallows thickly, reading between the lines of Steve’s words. He adjusts the grip on his gun as the ramp begins to lower. The team files out, Tony and Sam taking to the skies while Clint and Vision move ahead into the tree line.
Bucky remains still at the top of the ramp, gripping and re-gripping his gun. Steve walks up beside him, shield in hand.
“Okay?”
A slight glance in Steve’s direction and Bucky nods his head. “Yeah, punk. Let’s just get this done and over with so we can go home.”
Steve lets out a soft chuckle, patting Bucky on the shoulder. “You can do this.”
A shared look of assurance before Tony’s voice comes over the comms, alerting them it was clear to head into the base.
“Time to go.”
Steve gives Bucky’s shoulder one last pat before he tightens the buckle on his shield and heads down the ramp.
A deep breath as the mantra in Bucky’s head continues to play on repeat.
You can do this.

Billionaires, Archers, and Spies, OH MY! Marvel Criminal Minds crossover pt. 2 (reader insert) ___
Part one!
Sorry for the horrendous title. Not much about the BAU in this one, but we’re getting there
______
When Coulson said ASAP, he meant ASAP. No sooner than you had been settled into a provided apartment, you were escorted to the Airport to fly to an aircraft carrier. There, Coulson introduced you to Maria Hill who gave you access to an office. There you were given file-upon-file about one, Clint Barton.
You built a solid profile based on the files, and then when you felt you had a good basis- you boxed up the files, shut your notebooks, and (as you had been told) pressed a button. Two minutes later, a man in a SHIELD issue suit walked in.
You immediately recognized him as Clint Barton, and smiled at him, “Hello, Agent Barton, my name is (Y/N) (Y/L/N). I’m going to ask you some questions, please answer honestly- there aren’t right or wrong answers.”
“Aren’t there always?” Clint grinned, slouching into the seat across from your makeshift desk. You just quirked an eyebrow as you sat down.
“So let’s start at the beginning. What was your childhood like?” You asked, watching everything from his breathing to how he drummed his fingers on his knees. Hyper Vigilant, channels into constant movement.
He gave a brief overview of his childhood, his parents Edith and Harold, growing up in small-town Iowa, graduating high school, but focusing on his marksmanship afterward. “If you’re wondering if something traumatic happened, it didn’t.”
“I never assumed, but thank you for the clarification.” You nodded, noticing his aversion to your questioning-hiding something.
“Ok, well, according to your file, Nick Fury hand-picked you for your skills. Marksmanship, archery if I remember correctly? That must have been quite an honor.” You remarked, eyes carefully watching his facial expressions: a huffed (sarcastic) chuckle, a slight smirk, and his eyes flitted out the window looking up- checking for snipers.
“An honor, I guess you could call it that.” He nodded, meeting your eyes again.
“So what would you call your relationship with Director Fury?” You asked.
“Professional, he’s my superior. We’re friendly, he trusts me to get the job done.” He answered, to get the job done. Is he implying that Fury doesn’t completely trust him- or maybe that he doesn’t completely trust Fury? “He did me a favor, so I trust him as much as he trusts me.”
Interesting wording again, but when he said “favor” his left thumb rubbed his ring finger. His file said unmarried...
“Alright, any girlfriends? longterm partners? Children?” You asked, trying to prove your point. Clint visibly tensed, eyes immediately narrowing in on you.
“No, no, I’m a player through and through. Hook-ups only.” He easily splurged, lying through his teeth. Definitely has a girlfriend- possibly a wife? Obviously doesn’t want it in his file.
To try to relax the clearly agitated agent you simply nodded, “Well, Agent Barton, I’m sure you know how babies are made. Hookups...”
Clint simply shook his head, “No, No, children.”
“Alright, now let’s talk about professionally, you have a nearly perfect success rate. I understand you recently survived an assassination attempt?”
____
Clint Barton: Loyal to SHIELD, Pride in his work, but not in killing, close emotional ties with Natasha Romanoff, and unnamed girlfriend/wife (not in Files), will follow orders unless he finds a better solution, can work with others, prefers not to. Long-distance specialty- aversion to close up/ slow deaths. Secretive, low to none security risk
Good for the Avengers Initiative.
____________
As soon as you presented your findings to Director Fury, he had more files sent to you. These files were all labeled [classified] and many of them were mostly redacted.
“Unredacted versions will be available in your office only. I’m eagerly awaiting your next report.” As ever, a man a few words, Nick Fury sent you on your way. This time, you had a couple of weeks to read up on your next interview as she was on a mission.
Natasha Romanoff, Natalia Romanova, Natalie Rushman, Black Widow, your eyes skimmed down the page-long list of aliases. That’s a profile all it of itself, You thought. Next, you read over her accomplishments, both as a Russian spy and as a SHIELD agent. They were extensive. She was a member of the KGB when she was a Soviet (with an unspecified body count). Then, she was brought into SHIELD, where she worked as a normal combat agent before being promoted to strike team delta- then her accomplishments allowed her to keep climbing rank. Skills include excellent marksmanship, more black belts then you cared to count, espionage, seduction, sabotage, hacking, interrogation, and deception. You noted to yourself, a spy of this caliber definitely has training in hiding behavioral traits and tics- might even be able to fake other tics to skew the profile.
A month and a week after interviewing Clint, you opened the door to a stunningly beautiful woman. She was tall- long legs, pale skin, green eyes, body toned from years of training yet still looking like the picture of feminity, blood-red curls that fell almost to her waist. You observed everything, even down to how she was standing, Her stance is meant to come off as unassuming, but actually, she’s already poised to strike if she has to.
“Hello! I’m (Y/N) (Y/L/N), I’m here to ask you a few questions to build a psychological / behavioral profile. Can we get started?” You asked, gesturing to the chair in front of your desk. She nodded, sitting down. Once again, her posture was faux-relaxed- leaned back, legs crossed, arms delicately laid on the armrests, but ready to fight in a split second.
Her emerald eyes watched you as carefully as you watched her, not quite threatening but almost challenging, subtle hostility towards authority? no, maybe other women.
“Well, I have a three-mile-long list of alias, but it doesn’t tell me what you preferred to be called. What can I call you?” You asked, carefully watching her. You registered the nanosecond of confusion before she smoothed the expression, Not used to having a choice.
“I prefer Natasha, thank you.” She nodded to you, and you smiled back.
“Before we get started, I’d like to clarify there are no right or wrong answers, just honest ones, please.” You clarified, noticing how her eyes narrowed, nostrils slightly flared, but no comment as she nodded.
“Alright, let’s start with your life in Russia.” You motioned to her, waiting for her to begin, but she just cocked her head.
“What do you want to know?” The hostility was well masked, but you still caught it. You didn’t comment on it, only thought for a moment how to spark the conversation.
“Just walk me through growing up in Russia, starting as early as you can remember.” You prompted, watching her try to hide a frustrated sigh.
“My earliest memories are of the red room. That should be in my file.” She brushed off, voice even, not too fast or slow- carefully hiding any defensive tone.
“I know, I was given the files. I’m former FBI and haven’t been here long enough to ask questions. You’ll have to explain it to me.” You apologized. For a long pause, she didn’t say anything, “If you don’t want to talk to me, we can-”
She interrupted, “Ballet lessons, that’s how it started. Then, ballet became a polisher, kept us strong, but lithe. Feminine, but deadly. Then they taught us everything we’d ever need in the field. From flirting to torture.” She divulged, the information was still vague but gave you enough information to prod the conversation.
“So there were other girls with you as well?” You asked, she nodded. Intense competitive conditions among young girls, explains her challenging attitude towards me. “And they taught you...”
“Espionage, seduction, combat, marksmanship, how to blend in and stand out at the same time, deception...” She listed, trailing off. You hid a smirk, not condescendingly, as a joke crossed your mind.
“How to lie.” You remarked, “You could have been a politician.”
She laughed quietly, a laugh which you couldn’t decide if it was fake or she actually thought it was funny, “You think I’m a liar?”
You smiled softly, noting how she was trying to intimidate you, but didn’t comment, “I think you could lie through your teeth and 99% of people in the room would believe you. It’s an impressive talent.”
She smirked, cocking her head slightly, “Would you believe me?”
You shrugged, knowing she was luring you into a trap with either answer, “Are you going to lie to me, Natasha?”
She smiled, showing off perfect rows of pearly white teeth, “Agent (Y/L/N), there’s just some things I can’t tell you.”
You nodded, using the natural pause before moving on, “Let’s move on then, can you tell me about Budapest?”
Her smile faded, “When I worked for the KGB, I had a very specific skill set, and I didn’t care who I used it for. I got on SHIELD’s radar, in a very bad way. I’m sure I was probably on FBI lists and you just didn't know it was me. Well, Director Fury put Clint on my case, to, well, I’m sure you can guess. But He made a different call, and once I defected from the KGB and renounced Russia, he gave me a second chance. I felt like I owed it to him to try to fix what I had done- at least my targets now are bad people.”
“So- for lack of better word- Redemption influenced you to work in SHIELD?” You asked, watching her carefully. She smiled, but it didn’t reach her eyes.
“I’m not naive enough to look for redemption.” She stated, before eyeing you up and down, “What are you really doing here?”
It was your turn to be smug, smirking as you started, “Agent Romanoff, there’s just some things that I can’t tell you.”
She chuckled, glancing down at her hands. You cleared your throat, “Just one more question, were you aware of Clint Barton’s wife?”
Her shock actually registered, telling you that your suspicions were correct, and also that she probably knew her personally, “He told you about them?”
Them, not her, which means more than one: children. You smiled, proud of your deductions, but shook your head no, that he didn’t tell you.
“Oh, you’re good.”
_________
Natasha Romanoff: Spy/Seductress personality traits, Only appears to completely trust Clint Barton, but Nick Fury seems to be a close second. Alpha female- flirty (manipulative) towards men, abrasive around other women until they prove themselves / or aren’t a threat to her position. Prefers close quarters combat- uncharacteristic of female assassins but registers high levels of confidence, control, and discipline. Eager for redemption/ paying her debts- seems to want to do good. This paired with her high levels of training can make for a ruthless weapon in the right hands (even if it’s her own). Not necessarily a team player, but knows how to manipulate people around her to further her mission.
As for the Avengers Initiative, as long as Agent Barton is present (to have at least one person she trusts), if given separate orders could potentially point other team members in the most effective direction.
Approved at Director's discretion.

The next time you saw Natasha, it was two months later and you were asking about Tony Stark. You already watched all relevant interviews, spoken to both Phil and Nick, and read all the files available to you. Natasha was undercover in Stark Industries (at the moment) and had dealt with Stark one-on-one. The spy seemed more relaxed around you, even pausing the conversation to open a bit.
“I noticed you didn’t put ‘wife and kids’ into Clint’s file.” She started, to which you nodded, “I really appreciate it, His family means everything to him, and he pisses off some powerful people- it’s best no one knows.”
“I know. His family was the only thing he lied about, and Director Fury didn’t admit it, but definitely already knew. Which means the only reason to put it in there would be spite, and Clint seems like a good guy- like a asshole, but a good guy." You explained.
Natasha snorted a laugh, “Yeah that’s Clint.”
“Speaking of Assholes, Tony Stark. What can you tell me about him?”
“Deep down, deep, deep, down- he wants to be a good guy.” She nodded thoughtfully. The wording caught your attention.
“Wants to be?” You quirked an eyebrow. She sent you a tight-lipped smirk.
“He hit’s some roadblock- every time.” She nodded, to which you nodded.
“Keep me updated?” You asked, tapping your pen against a grainy shot of an iron man suit flying through white clouds.
“If it goes according to plan, I’ll get you an undercover interview.” She smiled, flipping perfect curls over her shoulder. She kind of felt like a super intimidating version of Prentiss.
“Thanks, Nat, you’re the best.” You flinched at your own words, noticing her tense and then relax.
“That’s what they keep telling me,” She smiled, and your tension fell away too. “See you around.”
________
“Hello, Mr. Stark, my name is (Y/N) (Y/L/N), I’m a writer for a psychological magazine. I’m working on an article about the psychology of billionaire superheroes-” You started, but the cocky billionaire interrupted you. It was now September, and you had been waiting for the interview since July.
“There’s more than one? I should start a book club.” He chuckled, swirling a whiskey drink in one hand It’s ten AM, alcoholic tendencies as Nat reported. It was probably best he didn’t know you worked for SHIELD, as he was more relaxed around you now. You faked a laugh, blushing as if you were flustered.
“You’re right, few and far between. But, uh, superheroes are a hot topic right now, billionaire superheroes, the public is interested. And also, as you’ve said in interviews, you don’t trust the military to have your tech- so the public wants to know if your...”
“Stable?”
You nodded, finally, he motioned for you to sit across from him, which you did quickly, “So let’s begin, we’re going to build a psychological profile based off of behavioral analysis.”
“I’ve read about that science, in fact, I’ve been following the Behavioral Analysis Unit from the FBI- David Rossi’s books are fascinating. Don’t you think?” The question caught you off guard, bringing back intrusive thoughts of your team- all the phone calls you were told to ignore, the purposely left signs that Penelope tried to hack your computer, Reid still emailed you a weekly reading list.
You snapped back to reality, lying easily, “Yes, I’ve actually learned some of my techniques from BAU lectures. David Rossi and Dr. Spencer Reid, Agent Aaron Hotchner would occasionally guest lectures.”
“Well, sweetheart, show me what you learned.” He told you, spreading his arms as if to say ‘hit-me-with-you-best-shot’ meanwhile, you inwardly cringed at ‘sweetheart’.
“Alright then, let’s start with early life and childhood.” You prompted, pretending to take notes as he began recounting his life story. You didn’t pay much attention to his words, so much as his actions, which made it easier to tell when he was lying, exaggerating, or under-exaggerating.
Control issues, perhaps to deal with feelings of helplessness- even though he’s a super genius, God Reid never shut up about it. Narcissistic tendencies, which normally doesn’t pair with a savior complex. Alcoholic tendencies, possibly remnants of a bad relationship with his father. Flinches when he moves in certain ways, either still hurting or phantom pains from his time held hostage. Early stages of PTSD?
Finally, he closed his epic tale as he got up and made another drink, “And here we are together now. Isn’t life funny like that?”
“It’s strange, I’ll give you that. And how’s your current life?” You asked, he offered a cocky grin, running his hand through his disheveled hair and downing his drink. The cocky attitude didn’t reach his eyes, you noted that.
“Me? I’m living the life. Now, let me answer your real question. Why I won’t let my tech go to the government- and why I’m qualified to keep it?”
“That’s a jump. But if you’d like to tell me....” Something you want to get off your chest, Stark?
“When I was held hostage over there, it was because my tech got into the wrong hands. Then I got back and became acutely aware of how many people had been injured because of my negligence. Then I thought to myself, I can hand over some weapons solely to the military, that’ll fix the problem, right? wrong. The military is controlled by politicians, politicians who have agendas. Me? I have no agenda. With tech in my hands, I can go fix problems myself- no bureaucracy.”
Survivor’s guilt. Dangerously independent which feeds into his savior complex. He will not play well with others. Definite signs of depressive self-loathing and self-placed blame.
“Wants to be a good person, but hit’s a roadblock every time.”
“Thank you, Mr. Stark. I have everything I need. Thank you for your honesty.”
____________
Tony Stark: Classic narcissist, paired with a savior complex (likely caused by survivors' guilt, heightened feeling of responsibility, and guilt from his weapons being sold on the black market). Control issues. Will not follow orders, always thinks he knows a better way. Substance abuse issues are likely, alcoholic tendencies are confirmed. Sex addiction is highly likely. These are escapist tendencies. Early signs of PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Issues from childhood include a bad relationship with his father (never felt true validation from an unavailable father figure, mother never stepped in). Butler, Jarvis (not to be confused with his AI) seemed to be the primary influence in his upbringing. (Mentioned Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter more than once, bitter with Steve and fond with Peggy)
Avengers initiative: He’s self-obsessed, volatile, will not work well with others. But no matter if he’s part of the team or not, it is almost certain that he will inject himself into any global/ SHIELD conflict.
Rejected, even though he will involve himself regardless of SHIELD decision.
_______________
In November of 2010, you were called into a meeting with Fury,
“This is good work, agent.” Director Fury nodded as you thumbed through the file on Tony Stark. He read over the profile, but didn’t show any emotion.
“Thank you, sir, but I have a feeling that I didn’t tell you anything you didn’t already know.” You replied, watching his eye as he switched to the file on Natasha.
“You confirmed some suspicions. This will help me convince my higher-ups.” He affirmed, dropping the file on his desk with a quiet thump. You quirked an eyebrow, a small smirk on your lips.
“You have higher-ups?” You asked, wondering who on Earth was brave enough to give Nick Fury orders. He was like the dark, scary version of Hotch.
“We all have superiors, agent.” He replied lowly, his eyebrow raising in a way that told you he wasn’t angry but not to press the matter. “You know these were the easy ones, right?”
“I wouldn’t say that Tony Stark was easy to deal with.” You muttered as he slid another file across. The cover read ‘Dr. Bruce Banner / The Hulk’.
“I want a profile of Bruce Banner, and a separate one on the Hulk.” He stated, and your eyes flicked to him. You remembered watching the news at the BAU, as the Hulk tore through Harlem. Spencer went on and on about Dr. Banner’s theories in astrophysics, and then the theories that surrounded Dr. Banner’s.... condition.
“Didn’t Bruce Banner fall off the face of the earth after the Harlem incident?” You asked, ignoring the task of profiling the Hulk. He nodded, turning his computer monitor around. It had several red dots throughout the middle east and down into India.
“We’ve been following his whereabouts. You will not be conducting an interview, but just build me a profile based off these files, we’ll be bringing in a few other people who had contact with both Banner and the Hulk, and you can interview them.” He explained, leaving very little room for argument.
“Yes, sir. But, I just need to make sure you understand that these are all secondhand sources, so the profile won’t be near as accurate. And, I’m afraid there won’t be much on the Hulk to profile.” You admitted, collecting the files as you got up.
“I’m sure you’ll come up with something, Agent.” He called as you left, for the first time feeling uneasy about your position in SHIELD.
__________
Two months. Two months to build a preliminary profile on your Jekyll/Hyde situation. Two months of reading files, trying to understand his old scientific journals, talking to other scientists who worked with him, and reviewing his childhood through the documents SHIELD could get his hands on.
You looked over your glass board (making you nostalgic for all the cases you has laid out on boards like this, only now you were working alone), printed out photos (mostly of Bruce, but also of Betty and Thaddeus Ross, a few of project Rebirth, and a lot of the Hulk), dry-erase marker notes, a tentative timeline of his life, and red string connecting relevant ideas.
Real name Robert Bruce Banner (10/18/1969), M.D., 7 Ph. D.s, expertise in biochemistry, thermonuclear physics, and specifically in GAMMA radiation. (which was used in the creation of the original supersoldier, Captain Steve Rogers WW2)
Reid would be jealous, he’s only got 4.
Strained relationship with father- from feelings of incompetence/invalidation- possibly what pushed him to constantly overachieve. Went to Harvard, was apart of hallucinogen research trials.
Then a red string connected that thought to one, Betty Ross.
Know a romantic relationship with Betty Ross, after graduation moved with her to Virginia together and were instructors at Culver University. Went on tenure in late 90s, met Erik Selvig- another astrophysicist, and worked on Electron collisions with gamma radiation.
Is this a constant overachiever or just someone who knew his potential?
Up until 9/11 he led a relatively normal life (for a super genius)
Project Rebirth was where it got fishy. Thaddeus Ross (presently General Ross, I had the pleasure of dealing with him with the BAU in the anthrax scare of 2009) father of Betty Ross (Bruce Banner’s then-girlfriend). Tasked with recreating the original super-soldier serum. Knowing of his daughter’s boyfriend’s talents (and of his own ability to possibly manipulate Banner) he recruited Dr. Banner without telling him the truth of what he was working on- that’s why Banner chose Gamma radiation, thinking he was combating radiation poisoning.
ingrained mistrust of authority/father figures, but not likely to act on it. Will keep striving to impress/ complete work. probably why he prefers solace.
Thinking his work was combatting radiation poisoning, and completely on the right track, he tested it on himself- hoping to impress both Ross’s. Of course, since this was now weaponized gamma radiation, it went terribly wrong. Prompting his first transformation into the Hulk. During which, two doctors and a soldier were killed, and Ross’s were among the injured. Overwhelmed with guilt, he escaped to Canada- evading multiple capture attempts. Attempted suicide by gunshot on top of a mountain in Alaska (2006)
eager to impress father figures until another one betrays him, driven by severe guilt, depressive tendencies, unsuccessful suicide attempt.
Escaped to South America and lived in hiding for 2 years until his location was discovered. He transformed into Hulk before returning to America. Stayed hidden for a couple days before the ‘battle at Culver university’ marking the first public appearance of the Hulk. Upon provocation, Hulk took Dr. Ross with him.
Two years without an incident. Bruce Banner has to have a good handle on that anger. Which makes him still extremely organized despite it all.
A few days later, Banner was found in custody and taken in by an Emil Blonsky (special forces) his file was extremely redacted. so that’s all I know on him. After being taken into custody, a second ‘Hulk’ appeared in Harlem. A bitter fight pursued, and with its conclusion, Bruce Banner was in the wind again and still is. Rumors include the middle east, rumors of a Hulk spotting at a destroyed terrorist base.
~~~
With the Hulk, you had less to work with, mostly grainy photos and videos. You had biased first-hand accounts from General Ross, Doctor Ross, Samuel Stern, and a handful of soldiers. The least biased was Betty’s interview but she was very much so still in love with him, so the cognitive interview wasn’t much help. The biggest help you had was the videos of the Hulk in actions of which there weren’t many. Even though they were helpful to the profile, it was like watching videos unsubs would send in- unsettling, scary, and sad.
Preliminary ONLY- this is a tentative profile, it could be largely inaccurate without further information.
Bruce Banner: Reclusive loner type. Can and will survive on his own. Beyond Genius level IQ. High distrust for the government. Goes without saying, but anger issues. Extremely organized. The limited current information makes it hard to complete the profile, but the medical work
Avengers initiative: With his high distrust of the government, it’s more than likely he’ll just be a security risk. And despite his level of control, it will also make him a safety risk to those around him. Unless you require someone with a knowledge of gamma radiation, you’re better off with another astrophysicist.
The Hulk: Despite the low level of control that Dr. Ross reported after the incident, it is clear that no one can control the Hulk. He can be pointed in a direction, but that level of rage is indicative of the lowest form of control and in most cases intelligence. The Hulk will not take orders. This is a stone best left unturned.
_______________
“Director Fury will be pleased with your progress. I think you’ve earned some time off, take a week and when you get back we’ll have more work for you.” Coulson told you in early February as you handed over all your research. You quirked an eyebrow.
“Now that you’ve run out of things for me to do? Am I allowed to visit my old team?” You asked, as he began to leave. Phil turned back to you, with a smile that almost reminded you of a younger version of Rossi.
“As long as you don’t compromise SHIELD intelligence, I don’t care what you do.” He assured, closing the door on his way out. You breathed a laugh, pulling your old go-bag out from under your desk- old habits die hard.

more BAU interaction in the next part I promise!!

Avengers au? 👀
Avengers AU
Okay, so this one is complicated 😂. Me and my friend @bexlynne never fully figured out which characters should go where and debated for a long time about who should be Cap. It was between Davey and Spot. I think we decided Davey.
So here’s a little snippet of the list right now with the characters we know for sure (also note that I have a lot of different Avengers AU ideas and all of the characters are switched around plenty).
Characters
Jack Kelly- Iron Man
David Jacobs- Capitan America
Racetrack Higgins- Black Widow
Hot Shot- Hawkeye
Spot Conlon- The Hulk
Katherine Plumber- Pepper Potts
Les Jacobs- Bucky
Crutchie Morris- Rhodey
Smalls- Spiderman
Romeo- Ned
Morris- Thor
Oscar- Loki
Snyder- Thanos
Mike- Quicksilver
Ike- Scarlett Witch
Medda- Nick Fury
Albert- Starlord
Elmer- Groot
Riddle- Doctor Strange
Specs- Vision
This is what I have 😂. I know there’s a lot left out. I’m gonna give you the basics of the original gang-
Jack Kelly
Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.
He is a cocky, sarcastic, brilliant man who was orphaned at fifteen while studying at MIT and left a fortune by his father
He’s a womanizer when he younger.
He takes over his father’s company, continuing to design weapons and armors and make more money.
One day, while travelling to advertise his creations, he gets caught in a booby trap and is captured by enemy forces. He is severely injured and wakes up to find himself strapped to a car battery. The other man who had been taken hostage, a physicist, explains that the battery is the only thing keeping the shrapnel in his chest from reaching his heart.
Jack manages to escape, only because the physicist gives up his own life to protect him.
Jack is only twenty one when this happens.
Jack blames himself for the other man’s death.
All in all, Jack slowly becomes mentally unstable and more and more depressed after this incident.
Jack’s assistant, Katherine Plumber, a woman he’s always been infatuated with but never acted on, does her best to take care of him and help him with whatever he needs.
Jack does his best to push her away.
It doesn’t work.
Jack is in pain a lot as he makes himself a battery to keep the shrapnel away from his heart, knowing he can’t remove it without getting himself killed
He creates the iron man suit when someone threatens him and his company and him personally and tries to tell the media that Iron Man is his personal body guard, only for him to have a meeting with the press and come clean, blatantly stating, “I am Iron Man” to the public.
Jack never had a great relationship with his father, James Kelly (who he is in fact named after) and finds that his father was obsessed with this hero who died years ago called Capitan America
Jack spends his whole life trying to live up to this legend of a man as a child and it eventually becomes the real strain on Jack’s relationship with his dad.
When Jack first finds out his parents are dead, he tried like hell to find their murderer who shot them in their own car after running them off the road.
Eventually he gives up, believe it to be a random murder
When A Miss Medda Larkin approaches him about something called the “Avenger’s initiative” he turns it down immediately.
Once he gets dragged into it, as he likes to think (forces his way back in, is how it actually works) and he meets the rest of the team, he ends up forming a sort of makeshift family with them and does his best to make sure he is the one in the most danger at all times, wanting to spare the rest of their lives
He loves his team, even if he won’t say it.
David Jacobs
Was born prematurely and grew up small. He was malnourished and scrawny and short than everyone around him.
His little brother Les grew to be taller than him and stronger than him and David feels inferior to him, even though he loves his little brother like nothing else
David’s dream has always been to fight for his country.
Les gets to. David, no matter how many fake names he uses and how many tests he tries to pass, does not.
During examination that David is sure he’s going to be arrested at, he is approached by a scientist who asks him odd questions but eventually tells him that he’s going to go to war to defend his country. And David is ecstatic.
Though Davey is not the strongest, he proves to be the smartest and bravest and most worthy soldier at training camp. The reason he’s there is so that the scientist that approached him before can conduct an experiment on him and make him into a super soldier
Davey agrees
David is made into a super soldier, but instead of becoming an actual soldier becomes more of an add for patriotism.
Until one day he hears about a group of soldiers that are captures not far from the camp he’s set to entertain at.
Les is one of the captured soldiers
David goes against his orders and tracks down the hostages, freeing them all and finding his little brother strapped down to a table like some kind of experiment
Les is confused when he sees that his brother is actually taller and stronger than him.
They only barely manage to back it out of the collapsing building alive.
After this, Davey does get to fight against Nazi forces. He fights against several attacks with his brother as his right hand man and a woman named Peggy who he’s falling in love with
One of the missions that Davey is sent on with Les gets them into a moving train, which Les is shot in just before he falls out of the car down a cliff. He is reported dead.
David blames himself for this
Another attack ends with David in a plane, trying to save an entire city of people by diving down into the ocean. He talks to Peggy as he goes under, promising her a dance as neither of them have ever had the opportunity to slow dance with someone before.
He wakes up 70 years later
David is practically dragged into the Avengers.
He never truly gets used to the 21st century.
He and Jack do not get off to a great start
David is physically only three or four years older than Jack but Jack still calls him “old man”
David grows very close to the team he is given.
He’d protect them all with his life.
Racetrack Higgins
Antonio Higgins was orphaned in Russia when he was three years old.
He was found by an organization that took him and claimed him as their own.
Growing up, he was brainwashed and heavily trained in combat and in interrogation techniques.
Antonio Higgins was named after he was found. He doesn’t know his birth name.
Antonio was raised to be one of the most lethal Russian spies in history. He was basically psychologically programmed with false memories to ensure his loyalty to the organization
Race was brainwashed to believe he’d been a ballerina
Antonio is sent to the US to break into Kelly Industries and basically frame Jack for starting a terrorist attack.
Antonio is met with Iron Man instead.
Iron Man never gets a good look at him, but ultimately Antonio gets injured and runs. He lays low for a couple days only to be met with an ex-criminal now working for an organization called SHEILD. Who eventually becomes Race’s only friend and convinces Race to leave the people that raised him behind him.
After only a few months away from that, Antonio is recaptured and brainwashed all over again.
He’s sent to the US again only to be met with his only friend who held him break free of the control that this organization had over his mind and Antonio eventually is recruited by SHEILD as one of their best informants and combat specialists
Once Antonio becomes apart of the Avengers, Jack, who met him as a geeky assistant to Katherine a few months ago while undercover, calls him Race because he’s so quick
Race becomes close with the entire team, almost more so than the others as he’d grown up with no one to rely on but himself. Race is younger than Jack when he meets him. It amazed them all how much he’s been through.
Yes Race and Davey go through all the events of winter soldier and yes they are still like brothers when it’s all over, but Race discovers that it’s okay to have feelings for a man (even if that man isn’t David)
The first time Race can ever recall crying is after the events of Infinity War
Hot Shot
Luca Romano began as a normal kid.
He is orphaned when he was young, much like Race, only he has a brother.
His brother and him run away and join the circus where they are taken under the wing of a swordsman
Luca learns a lot about acrobatics and pickpocketing tricks.
This swordman eventually teaches Luca how to shoot a bow and arrow. This becomes Luca favorite trick and a talent he practices at for years to perfect.
He never misses.
A couple years after meeting this swordsman, Luca figures out that this man is a wanted criminal who he tried to turn over to the police
The man turned on him immediately and tries to kill him.
Eventually, the swordsman gets away and Luca’s brother follows him, stating that he’d rather have a warm bed and hot meal than the morals that Luca did
So Luca is on his own.
He stays at the circus and is known as Hawkeye, the world’s greatest marksman
Luca only ever wanted to help people. However, after a misunderstanding, he is perceived as a criminal and runs to not be taken into police custody
He’s seen hovering over a man who’d been stabbed and was bleeding out on the ground. He’d only been trying to help
SHEILD had an agent out at the time, watching the crime and going in to stop it. That’s when they found him. They brought him in. Luca thinks they’re arresting him. But they’re recruiting him.
They train him. Since he’s young, they basically help raise him. (He’s in his mid teens when they find him)
Eventually he’s sent out to find a spy that had broken into Kelly Industries. He’s told to eliminate him. And at this point, they’d taught him that sometimes bad people needed to be taken care of.
So he had every intention in doing it.
Until he met Antonio
Antonio reminded him of himself. Alone. Lied to. Nowhere to go. So he tried to help him. And they got close until Antonio was taken away
Luca makes it his goal to find Antonio (who is younger than him and reminds him of his little brother)
It takes about a year for that to happen
Once Hawkeye becomes an Avenger, Jack gives him the nickname “Hot Shot”
Hot Shot basically ends up being one of the most responsible avengers. He ends up having a family that only Race knows about and basically adopts Race as a little brother and teaches him the difference between good and bad
I love the Hawkeye/Blackwidow relationship
Spot Conlon
Sean Conlon is a brilliant scientist
During an experiment with a gamma bomb, he sees a teenager accidentally driving onto the range and rushed to save him by shoving him into a trench, but takes the gamma hit himself
He wakes up without a scratch
But that night, after one too many reporters manages to piss him off, he transforms into a big green monster, unable to control himself and destroying his own home.
Sean grew up an orphan. Passed from foster home to foster home. He grew up with issues already. Anger management issues, being one of them.
He’s horrified at the thought of hurting someone but has always been unable to control his fits of rage.
He tries to let his boss’s company take him in, expecting them to kill him if they can’t reverse whatever was done to him
After hundreds of tests and more torture than anything else, Sean tries to off himself, only to transform and have “the other guy” spit the bullet out of his throat.
Rather than try to continue fighting this curse he’s been given, he breaks out of the facility he’s locked in and focuses strongly on helping others rather than hurting them.
He travels all over the world and puts his scientific knowledge to use as he tries to cure diseases in other countries.
Sean avoids any relationship he can, not wanting to get close to people that he could potentially cause harm to
That’s why, when years later he finds himself being followed, he tries to scare the person off
Only to find a young man who escaped his every attempt at losing him
Though, he does manage to scare Race by pretending to get ready to transform. Race pretends not to be phased, even though he jumped
He gets dragged into the avengers and starts to fall for Race who is even more emotionless than he is.
Or at least, pretends to be
Lemme know what other characters you wanna hear about! What scenes or storylines you wanna hear about or see!
I do have other Avengers/Superhero AUs
Such as-
Jack as Thor and Race as Loki
The Spiderman AU where Race is Spiderman and Jack is Tony Stark
Another Spiderman AU where Jack is Aunt May and Race is Spiderman and Crutchie is Ned
Lemme know if you wanna hear about any of those!
For more AUs, check out my list and send me an ask 👇 lemme know if there’s any AUs I left out of my list!
Thanks for reading!

Tortured Souls. (6)
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader.
Summary: Y/N Stark is being chased and accused of a crime she didn’t commit, what happens when the person behind all of this possesses her very own face.
<<
(Gifs go to their rightful owners.)
Warnings: None.
Word Count: 5,400
Compound.
Steve was in the main living room with Sam watching the game when it went to the commercial and a Break News red sign appeared.
The reporter started to talk about the game so Sam stood up and walked to the kitchen to grab more beer in the fridged. “The SHIELD building in Washington has been invaded a few days ago, our reporter Samantha is in the local and will tell us what happened.” Sam stopped his tracks and walked back to watch the television.
The reporter was in front of SHIELD's building in Washington D.C, the lady told about how a dozen workers died in an invasion that occurred in an attempt to free a prisoner.
A picture of Artem appeared on the screen. “The prisoner is called Artem Melnikov, he is a Ukrainian that the Avengers and Shield’s agents got in an old HYDRA’s base in the middle of Russia. As you may know, Hydra is a militaristic and science division of the Nazi and was created by the German Baron Wolfgang von Strucker. Strucker isn't alive anymore and SHIELD told the world that neither Hydra was, but the event in years prior showed how a few important people of SHIELD were related to HYDRA organization.
The last information the world received was of James Buchanan Barnes, the Winter Soldier.” Steve crossed his arms. “Barnes was accused to kill the king of Wakanda T'Chaka and a lot of other victims over the years. The man was the very own friend of Steve Rogers, Captain America himself. Our sources don’t know where Barnes is right now but the last time he was in the public eyes was in a court where the judge declared him innocent. Could it be possible to Barnes be behind all of this?” Sam shook his head, people didn’t know shit about Bucky and yet everyone loved to call him the bad guy.
“Our sources managed to grab a few footages of the night of invasion here on SHIELD, the young woman clearly is Y/N Stark, daughter of the billionaire Tony Stark also known as the Iron Man. Apparently it doesn’t matter how much money do you have, children will always try to take their parents' attention, right? Back to you Trevor.” She said and Steve wanted to punch the TV.
Sam put the TV in mute and scratched his scalp, “Godamn it, now her face is plastered around the country.”
Steve nodded and took a deep breath. “We knew it was going to happen, how Fury let that leak?” He asked pissed.
Sam shrugged and looked at the TV that showed the victim's pictures and their relatives crying at the funeral. “Maybe he didn’t, you know has other people inside there that are important, and I don’t know… Maybe it was one of the victims’ relatives that wanted revenge and then,” He pointed to the TV. “That happened. Do you know where Stark is?”
Clicking his fingernails against his knees Steve darted his eyes to Sam. “He said something as grabbing some evidence in Turkey, I don’t know what.” He looked at the television again and an old lady was crying and yelling asking for justice.
Sam felt bad about the scene and knew Steve was feeling the same. They were Avengers and their work was to bring justice and hope. “We better call him.”
The game got back but neither of them had the head to watch it. “He probably knows by now.”
Tony.
Tony was flying through Turkey and went to meet one man he had hired to find some old documents.
He met the man in a cafe, he was in a hurry so he spoke with the man and grabbed all the information when his phone vibrated.
It was your name and a set of small alive videos of random News Programs talking about you. He sucked his breath and cursed Fury for letting these pieces of information leak that way. Tony touched the device and told the men his job was done and the money was on his account.
He got back at the hotel he was staying and opened his suitcase at the floor stepping on it making the Iron Man armor mold perfectly on his body.
He flew through the windows heading back to the States specifically to Washington searching Fury. ‘Nick Fury is calling sir.’ FRIDAY announced.
Tony answered and before Fury could answer Tony was yelling at him.
“Calm down! I didn’t give them her information, neither Everett.”
“Well someone clearly did, so what you don’t know about your people whereabouts or sources?”
“I’m sorry but whose daughter is being hunted?” Tony rolled his eyes. “Where are you?”
“Flying to Washington, I need to talk with you personally.”
“I’m not there, are you on a jet or in your armor?”
“What difference that makes,” Tony asked annoyed.
“Can you stop playing and tell me, if you are in your armor come to Logan in Utah, surely your armor will find the coordinates, you can also track this call if it makes it any easier.”
Tony argued a bit more but ended agreeing to his request and flew through Logan-Utah, he saw Fury there and landed outside a cafe that seemed empty, Fury probably sent everyone away saying he would have some government confidential meeting.
Tony kept using the armor but without the face part. “This brings me memories.” Fury scoffed and entered the place, Tony following behind.
Fury sat in the secluded booth and Tony sat in front of him, it had pancakes and coffee above the table. “This is how I’ll die? You’ll poison me? Or is just some sort of truth elixir that will make me tell you my deepest and weirds secrets, do you want to know how was the night I lost my virginity? Urgh, it was gross, do you know that-” Fury’s face was serious and clearly annoyed by Tony’s words. “Maybe you don’t.”
Fury sweetened his coffee and started to drink and Tony did the same. “I called you to say that I wasn’t the person that leaked Y/N’s information. Not anyone I know either, I said she would be in home confinement and I wouldn’t sell private information to the media. You know I keep my promises!”
Tony drank his coffee and stared at Fury’s wondering.
“All of them?”
He sighed. “Tell me one goddamn time I had lied to you or broke a promise.”
Tony rolled his eyes. “Listen I’m trying to save Y/N okay? How come you can’t believe she is innocent on this?”
Fury rubbed his face. “Stark, you haven't been around in that world much okay?! The majority of your life you’d spent in parties and ignoring everything important surrounding you. And as you may remember we get betrayed in that world, a lot. I’m sorry she is your daughter. You know I consider her as a friend too.” He said.
“Let’s be honest, do you think she would do that with us? You know her since she was 13 years old for God’s sakes, actually was that sneak eye of yours that made her start in that crazy world, if you hadn’t praised her skills, and she stood at home or safe and sound avoiding this life she probably wouldn’t have to go all kamikaze in Russia.” He said clearly pissed you had chose that life.
Fury rubbed the brow as if to ward off a headache. “Oh come on, when I first saw her she was beating your ex-bodyguard ass in a boxing ring in the middle of the living room.” He pointed. “I wasn’t the one that inserted her into that life, we both recognize she would go after them with or without the knowledge I helped her build. She is a great agent, one of the best actually. But just because we all care about her it doesn’t mean that she feels the same.“
Tony ate a few bites of his pancakes and was tapping a foot under the table, very annoyed about the topic. “Then what? Are you saying she is guilty and is trying to screw our lives by selling Hydra our information?” His lower lip quivered. “Not my Y/N. I’m sorry you had a lot of disappointments in your life, I did too, but I’m sure she isn’t guilty. And you should too.” Fury nodded, he knew Tony would say it.
Fury took a sip of his coffee and shared a silence questioning his next words, he didn’t know if he should say it and help you even somehow indirectly. “I found something, on the footage on the night of the invasion in D.C I used a mixture of two programs and,” He grabbed a small blue device out of his big coat and opened the video, Tony scoffed and opened his mouth ready to say he had seen the videos hundreds of times but Fury cut his words. “Shut up and watch it,” He played the video and then Fury clicked in a few words on the side of the screen, then the video froze and when Fury zoomed it the left side of ‘your’ face was sort of blurry, it wasn’t the cameras since Shield use A1 technology, it was something out of it. “I analyzed other random people with the same illumination and hour on the cameras but none had that weird effect on their faces.”
Tony took a deep breath and smiled. “Great now you are on our side, took you long enough.” He let a relaxed puff of air and enjoyed his pancakes, it wasn’t easy to use the fork with the ‘iron hand’ so he took it off.
“I still don’t trust her.” Fury said.
Tony placed the fork on the plate and swallowed the bits that were in his mouth. “Really? You just said it wasn’t her, what other reasons do you want?”
“She is smart and makes the best tactics, she might have contracted someone just to put us exactly where we are.”
Tony rolled his eyes. “You know what, you think you are so intelligent and forward of everyone else's but you are just crazy. This isn’t a movie Fury, what can’t you just believe her?”
Pinching his nose Fury tried to find a good reason to make Tony open his eyes. “Because people aren’t victim’s Stark, people are psychotic and you know her parents had a record of drug use, maybe her mother had used and it had hit her brain inside the womb and with that transforms her in a sociopath or psychopath. You know this happens.” Tony's brow furrowed completely mad at his words.
Tony gnashed his teeth in the mention of something so insulting. “You are an idiot for saying those things, you like to believe you have control of everything while she is just a young girl being incriminated by something she did not commit!” Tony's voice was raising in each word. His hands trembling.
“You are right, I didn’t mean in that way.”
“Send me that version of the video, it will help me with the judge and with the whole court process.”
Nodding, but with a tightness to it, like he was holding back from saying something else. “Speaking about it she won’t be able to stay at home confinement much longer, I will go to the Compound later to talk with her.” Fury said and finished his coffee, Tony kept quiet eating his food which made Fury sense something was wrong. “She is there right?” He asked.
“Y/N? I don’t know we are not really intimate right now,” He answered quickly and chewed the last of the pancakes pushing the plate further in the table, Fury shook his head knowing Tony was hiding something. “What?” He tried to play coy.
“She isn’t." Fury shook his head. “I do all in my power to help you two and this is what I receive?” He spoke throwing his hands up.
Tilting his head to the ceiling and letting out a heavy sigh Tony stuttered before finding the right words. “I’m serious I don’t know if she is in the Compound, we fought because of her stupid decision and I’m not really staying at home or going in the Compound,” He moved his hands to his armor.
Fury studied his face. “You know I can read all your facial signs right? Where is she?”
Tony shook his head and looked at Fury’s ‘device’ above the table. “Isn’t you that have her anklet coordinates?”
Fury rolled his eyes. “Stark, Y/N is a criminal and I’m putting my head in the middle of the crossfire to help even though I don’t believe her innocence in all of this.”
Tony rolled his eyes and propped his left arm on the table propping his head on his hand.
Fury saw his annoyed face and felt angry about how Tony always get annoyed when he didn’t get what he wants like a spoiled infant.
“Contrary to your belief, you are not the center of my universe! So if you truly consider I’ll lose my job and my whole career to make you happy you’re really really wrong.”
“Fury, all I ask is for you to hear her out, okay, please! She is the girl that saved your ass in that mission you went with. She is the girl that helped Nat when she started having anxiety. She is the girl that spent six whole days in the hospital when Sam got into a coma. Do you think she will be the one that will sell information to HYDRA? And besides that, she really cares about Steve and… and the other guy, which both had suffered by HYDRA. Do you truly believe she is guilty? Search the truth in your heart.”
Fury squeezed his eyes. “‘The truth in your heart’? Why the hell you said that? Is a t-shirt or something?” Tony gave him the look of ‘come on’. “I want to believe in her, Tony. But what if she is guilty and in the end, she will go away with them and leave us behind? I can’t risk my career out of a friendship.”
“What is more important reputation and people who care about you?”
Fury scoffed. “Are you reading those help-books she bought for you?” Tony laughed, Fury did too. “I’ll talk with her, let’s see if she can convince me.”
Y/N.
You had set all your clothes and a few research items in the room, you looked around the place and did almost every possible thing.
It was dark outside and Bucky hasn't got back yet. You started to create scenarios in your head where he regrets the almost kiss and are running away scared that you’ll confront him about it.
Jordan was with Barsi and you had made sure that the place would be a safe place for animals, you surely could use some love now so you placed a pair of boots on your feet and walked out the place searching the separated spot where the dogs and other animals should be.
Five minutes more into the woods you found what you were looking for.
It has big shelters one for each type of animal, normally the cats found a way out and the sneaky creatures entered in the dog’s one but it was cool since they got well with each other.
The dogs were really calm, normally when someone got closer they would make a huge mash of sounds. You opened the outhouse and found what you weren’t looking for.
Bucky was sat on the floor with two dogs laid close to him with their heads in his lap, the others were quiet sleeping and looked really comfortable having him around.
One dog barked when saw you making all of the others too, Bucky got up in seconds like you were some sort of threat. The babies came running and you pet every one you could reach, Bucky placed his hands in the pockets of his pants and cleared his throat. “I fell asleep.”
“I noticed,” You laughed, “It’s late already, I wanted to see them again and since I found you, do you wanna eat something? I mean you had been out around... five hours, at least.”
“I lost count of time. It’s pretty awesome what you did here.” He referred to the animals.
You looked around seeing the big place had space for each one of them. “Yeah, I mean is sad the fact that I have to do so, but I adore seeing the pure joy on them.” He made a confused look. “I mean the fact that someone has to save them from bad people, stupid people who hate them.”
He nodded. “People are stupid.”
Jordan appeared in the outhouse holding a big dog food bag. “Oh hey.” He said, you thought you heard Bucky scoffing but it was probably something else. “Is time for their dinner.”
You looked at the big barrel where food has always been inside. “I thought their food stood here.”
“It does but I just got back from town with a few new bags, the old ones were almost empty.” He placed it in the floor and walked out of the place, he looked behind and saw you stopped there looking at the dogs that were more than happy to see Jordan. “Uau, I didn’t know the famous life made you lazy, help me get the rest princess.” Jordan joked and you rolled your eyes laughing.
You walked out and found the pickup truck. You got one bag and walked inside, Bucky got the food separating it in the plates helping in the process. “The cats have eaten already?”
Jordan separated the food with a perfect portion for each type of dog and nodded at Buck's work. “No, neither the horses. You can go there, but be careful with the yellow one, she just got back from surgery.” You nodded and walked out of the place, you shook your head to Bucky which he understood the meaning since he followed you.
You opened the place and saw the cats running around playing with their toys when you grabbed their food they started to meow all together making a huge mess. “Surgery?” Bucky asked trying to not trip on them.
“Maybe is castration, or something else…”
“Castration?”
“Yep, I make sure all of them get castrated. I hate the number of abandonment it has already so we don’t need to make it bigger. My point is if everyone castrated their cats and dogs, it wouldn’t have so many lost babies out there. I mean I know I help them here and in every state money can allow me, but it isn’t the same thing for them. They are supposed to be the 'man's best friend’ so having just one owner isn’t the same.” A one-legged kitty was amazed by Bucky’s pants.
He laughed and grabbed the poor things in his hand. “I agree.”
You scratched the kitty's chin and took her out of Bucky's chest placing the food pot in front of her face. “Good.”
Bucky was amazed at the animals there, he surely knew about the shelter you had in NYC. “How did you asked Tony to do those things? With the animals I mean.”
“Well, since being a Stark I’m what people can say 'filthy rich’ so rather than spending my money in plastic surgery or fancy clothes and a possible contract with famous people to get me 'Hollywood famous’ too,” You laughed at the ridiculously. “I rather spend with what truly matters. Animals, kids, countries where hunger and thirst is a strong characteristic… I just try to use the pros and power of money on things that truly matter.” Bucky swore his heart was beating even faster.
When all was done, you and Bucky got back to the dog's place.
The two of you helped with anything that Jordan needed an extra hand with.
And when it finished Bucky excused and got back to the house.
You kept brushing the horses with Jordan, who had a grin splattered on his face. “What?”
He shrugged “Nothing.” He replied with a smirk.
“Come on.” You tried.
He looked out the barn looking at the patch that leads to the house.
“He is jealous, of me and you.”
You shook your head and kept paying attention to your current task. “He is not.”
“Come on. He had been staring at me the whole time like I was about to pick a gun and shoot you two.”
You laughed and shrugged. “He is just being cautious… he, he is of the world that me and Tony live in.”
“He is the Winter Soldier. Of course, he is of that world of yours and Mr.Stark.” You widened your eyes, you didn’t suspect him to recognize Bucky. “Don’t worry, I know he was a victim of all the torture he had been through. And you know me, I won’t call the cops or anything.”
You calmed down. “I think it would be no use. He was declared innocent by the judge and he is a free man.” You finished brushing the third horse and changed their water.
Jordan finished grooming the last horse and walked away to wash the brush and his hands. “So nothing to worry about then.” You caressed the horse for the last time and walked to wash your hands too. “But I’m serious the way he looks at you and the threatening way he looks at me says something. What? You two had dated and it didn’t work?”
“Not quite. We are good friends and… and I don’t know I got injured on a mission and he sort of blocked me out of his life.”
“Hmmm, I assume the injury it was bad.”
“Someone shot me.” He widened his eyes, he knew how to use a gun but yet it was sort of unknown to him. “But I’m here aren’t I?”
“So what, you two will keep liking each other and will be silent about it.”
“What? Wait what do you think I like him?” You played innocent.
“Well, first of all, I don’t believe my friend would ever come back here with some guy that seems really nice and just be friend with him, and also the fact that you are talking about him with that sparkle in your eyes.” He pointed at you.
“Jordan we are in the middle of the night in a barn, the “sparkle” can be the lamp above our heads.” You pointed your fingers at the five bigs lamps it has there.
“Nah, I know that spark. It just appears when you truly care about someone.”
“What are you? A novel writer?” He laughed.
“All I’m saying is that even spending years away from me I know you too damn well to be able to recognize when you’re liking or loving someone.”
“Okay love is really a strong word.” You put emphasis on the really part.
“You don’t love him?” He asked teasingly.
“Of course, he is my friend.” He gave you the look. “Come on I have a lot of guy friends. Actually, the majority of them are men.”
Jordan walked closer to your reach and dried his hands on a cloth and handed it to you. “Okay, so you look at all of the majority of friends the way you look at him?”
You let a sigh, he wouldn’t let the subject go away. “Not all of them.”
He nodded. “And that is why you’re blushing and avoiding to go back there?”
He was right, yet the last time you had seen him was years ago. “Excuse me, I spent five years away from your life. Is that inconvenient for me wanting to know more about you?”
He laughed. “Either way the way he looks at you it definitely says something,” You two walked out of the place and closed the door. Your emotions were screaming. “How do you know that?”
He looked at you and spent a few seconds trying to find the best words. “Because he looks at the same way I used to.”
You blushed, you had felt a small crush on him, but it was when you were just a mere kid and the idea alone of being close someone emotionally gave you bad memories about Raza. “Oh come on,” You bumped his shoulder with yours.
He laughed and nodded but spent some seconds looking at you, like he was reading every trace in your face. “Whatever you say but the way he looks at you it clearly states something. And I don’t have any idea what happens in that SuperHero universe you live in, but he would be good to you. I mean he is here right? And the way he looked at me when I entered the house it gave me chills. The guy had literally a gun aimed at me.”
“You were with a shotgun yourself. And besides nothing could give you chills Jordan.”
“Oh, one thing does scare me.” You kept quiet and wondered what he meant. “A angry Y/N.”
You laughed and remembered the number of times you two had fought when you were younger. “Surely!”
“Okay. So go back there to your 'only friend’ guy and… I don’t know, find something to talk about.”
“He surely will ignore me,”
“Make him pay attention then.” He said and kissed your head and hugged you. “Good night, troublemaker.”
“Good night, firefighter.”
Both titles were nicknames you two received, you because you would enter anyone house if you thought an animal was hurt, and Jordan because once he literally ran into a house on fire to save an old lady, which made Happy really mad about his job as your bodyguard.
And as a joke, Tony placed him to watch out for Peter.
Bucky.
Steve had called Bucky ten minutes ago to put him inside what was happening in the real world.
Steve told about your information that leaked and he asked if Bucky had grown the guts to talk with you. He answered yes and told him about Jordan.
“Who is Jordan?”
“Apparently an old friend, they are taking care of the animals now. I think he likes her.” The talk went on until you entered the house, you saw Bucky was on the phone and it surely was someone you knew.
But you let it be and walked around going to grab some water. Bucky gave you the phone and you saw Steve’s name on it.
Steve explained that the information had leaked but Fury assured he wasn’t the responsible for it.
He also explained that Clint and Tony were going after some evidence to help in the process, you asked about Natasha and Vision. He told he hadn’t seen Natasha in a week and Vision was okay as always, he didn’t tell anyone about your whereabouts.
…
Bucky started to make a dinner since he likes to cook you wouldn’t interfere with it, actually it brought good memories when he cooked and you two spent the time talking.
He was just placing the past inside the boiling water. “So what had you done in the months where we weren’t close?” You asked.
“I got a few missions, it was okay.“ He answered, you gave him a beer, even knowing he wouldn’t get drunk but at least would make the ‘talk‘ more equal. “You?“
“Well, everything became a terrible soap opera, then I moved out of the Compound, I don’t know if you’d noticed.“ He lowered his head, of course, he did, suddenly he came back from a mission in Siberia and you weren’t there anymore. “Then one day Fury appeared in the door of my apartment saying I was being arrested for leaking private information… and well here we are.“
“Do you have any idea who can be behind all of that?“
You shook your head in a silent ‘no’. “I’m glad the majority of my friends believe me, thank you for believing in me, Buck.” You reached his flesh hand squeezing for a few seconds.
He smiled making the corners of his eyes crinkle. “Sure, you’re my friend and I know you wouldn’t do this type of thing.”
You smiled completely delighted that he gave you his breathtaking smile after so long, but the subject was something that was stealing your rest. “Steve almost believed them, you saw how he was when he watched the footages.”
His forehead furrowed. “You know that punk, but the important thing is that he raised his hand.”
You let a heavy sign and took a couple of sips. “I know it’s stupid and I had a huge luck having so many on my side, and Sam apologized and everything but… I still feel like you guys don’t believe me. Tony, I get it, he is the father figure and wants the best for me, but what if he is doing that just to protect the idea of me?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m his best friend, daughter for all effects, but, what if he is just trying to prove to himself that I won’t be a failure in his life?”
Bucky felt in the same way with Steve. “Tony really loves you, you’re the only family he has.” He said and felt a punch in his throat. Only family because I killed the rest of it. He thought.
The following hours you two settled in a comfortable conversation like all the rest didn’t matter. He talked about the new things he remembered and even brought the little notebook he used to note the things his mind got back.
You smiled and felt happy having your friend there again.
You two cleaned the mess in the kitchen and got ready for bed.
When you finished your shower Bucky got his and you sat on your bed reading his note-book, with his permission of course.
You worshipped reading his memories, loved his messy handwritten and adored how he placed a few pictures here and there to make it more sense in his mind.
He walked out of the shower and gave you a goodnight smile. “Bucky. You don’t have to sleep at the end of the hall.” His faces blushed, he didn’t expect you to realize he was trying to create a barrier between the two of you. “You can sleep in the others, or here if you want too.”
Bucky had nights and nights filled with nightmares, and it wasn’t awkward for you two sleep in the same bed, it had occurred thousands of times over the years. Didn’t matter if it was his nightmares or yours, didn’t matter if it was in a small hidden place in dangerous missions nor if you two passed out after watching something on your laptop.
It was normal for him, he even believed the soft mattress wasn’t too soft with you in there. But then you two had been self-conscious with each other in the last weeks. Would it erase all the years of building trust you have accomplished with him?
“Okay, I will just make sure everything is locked.” He answered after questioning himself and walked downstairs.
It has happened before. And the mattress was huge and he probably would face the other side of it.
Bucky was pacing downstairs he saw if everything was okay dozen of times, and walked back to your room. He knew he loved to feel you beside him when he wakes up sweating his fear out. He likes to see your peaceful face and hear your heartbeat beating in a certain rhythm. He took a deep breath and walked back to the room.
There you were laid already but the notebook was still in your hands, Bucky thought it was adorable, you probably knew all the letters there by heart. He laid on the other side and darted his eyes everywhere in the room.
You closed the book and placed it on the nightstand after a few minutes. You turned the lamp and moved your body so you were facing him. “Good night, Bucky.” He looked at you and answered softly.
"Good night, Y/N."
…
After a few turns around he eventually got asleep until he felt something somewhat heavy on his metal arm. It was you supporting your head on his shoulder and your arm was over his torso.
You always liked the cold feeling of metal against your body, the contrast it made on Bucky’s warmth. He looked at the scene and smirked, your mouth was slightly agape so he knew you wouldn’t wake up easily, he moved his flesh arm and grabbed your hip calmly pulling your body above his.
You moved sleepily adjusting your body above the new heat, for Buck’s sake you were really tired so the new position didn’t alert you.
Bucky caressed your hair and fell asleep rapidly feeling somehow protected with you above his chest.
Before his slumber could take him fully, he whispered a soft. “I love you, doll.”
…
>>
I’m sorry if the mention of animals shelters it’s very personal, BUT I love animals and if you don’t, what is wrong with you? (If I was Tony’s friend/daughter I surely would make hundreds of shelters.)

2129
Song: 2129 from the album La peste by Alabama 3
Summary: The snap has been undone, but there’s someone special who hasn’t returned.
Pairing: Female reader x Black Widow
Length: 670 words
A/N: Grammarly thinks this text is sad. It is. This one might make you cry (sorry). See here for what this is all about.
***
Natasha Romanoff kept her private life incredibly private. That was no surprise, you knew what she did for a living. It was meant to protect you so that those targeting her couldn’t use you as leverage.
It worked a little too well.
When she died, nobody knew of the relationship between you. And so, you found out in the worst way possible, when you read of your wife’s death in the newspaper.
Everyone around you was celebrating the return of their spouses, while yours had sacrificed herself for the chance to bring them back.
One life, in exchange for trillions, yes. But none of them were her, none of them were your beloved.
Nobody understood. How could you be so sad, when so many people had returned?
Officially, your wife was Natalie Rushman. That’s what the paperwork said. A blind vicar. Two elderly witnesses, now deceased. Nobody to know that the infamous Black Widow had left behind a widow.
Not even Nick Fury knew.
Brooding in your armchair in the office, you thought about your last night together. The one before she entered the quantum realm, and never came back.
You hadn’t liked the idea, it sounded dangerous.
Natasha only told you about the really dangerous missions. The ones even she thought she might not come back from.
She’d tried to reassure you, spinning fantastical future plans as you showered together.
“It’ll be like I was never gone. I’ll see you in a minute,” she’d said, fingers moving between your thighs.
“What if it goes wrong? What if it doesn’t work?” you’d asked. The most important question, What if you die? - that was left unsaid.
And neither was it answered.
Natasha wanted to focus on the far future, not the immediate one. She couldn’t admit that she might not survive, so she made a plan for when she did.
“When I get back, we’re gonna go to Europe. A proper holiday, to Spain,” she’d whispered in your ear, barely audible over the water rushing around you. “I'm gonna put Bessie Smith on the jukebox all night long. When the Spanish sun comes up on our empty cups I'm gonna take you dancin’ deep down into the dawn.”
“Our honeymoon?”
“Sure, sweetheart,” she’d said before sucking on your earlobe. “We can honeymoon in Spain, Maine, along the Seine. Anywhere you like. Just not Russia.”
You’d laughed at that. Might’ve been the last time you laughed.
A vintage travel poster for Barcelona, framed in ash, hung on the wall behind you. A constant reminder of could’ve been. What should’ve been.
Anniversaries were the hardest.
Not just of her death or your wedding. The smaller, more mundane things. The first time you met. Your first kiss. The first time she stayed over. The first time you slept together. The day she asked you to marry her. A calendar of painful reminders, the spaces in between were just numb voids. Punctuated over and over by things that reminded you of her. Random thoughts you wanted to share with her.
Red leaves falling from the trees outside reminded you of her hair. The women in the Russian deli, speaking in a language you didn’t understand that filled you with both love and sorrow. You’d give anything to feel her lips against your ear, whispering dirty words in a tongue that sounded so unromantic. Peanut butter sandwiches were too much, the salt of your tears mixing with the salt of the nuts.
We have what we have when we have it. Something Natasha had once said when talking about her parents. How apt it was now.
But worst of all, there was no body. Nothing left behind for you to mourn and bury or burn. You’d made a little shrine in your garden, around last year’s Christmas tree that you’d planted together. A Christmas tree for Natalia. The most fitting tribute you could think of.
One Christmas without your wife was already one too many. You didn’t want to think about how many more there’d be.

Good Luck With Her
Good Luck With Her Pt 1 Pt 2
masterlist
Hello Loves 💖! IM BACK OMG ! So I’ve been trying to get rid of my writing block for months now and apparently my writing block has come out of tumblr and is now on wattpad so I’ll probably not be updating on there for a while ( sorry neve)! I hope you enjoy this story and if possible please go check out my wattpad @wckdseb and give my stories some love ! Love you guys eternally! Also happy birthday to the love of my life Sebastian, you’ve helped me through the days I thought I should give up so I thank you more than I can ever explain.
-L ☕️
Summary : people say long distance relationships are hard, you would definitely agree, and after your boyfriend of 10 years cheats on you, you are left wondering if that crush on your team member Bucky was actually just your subconscious telling you where your heart actually belongs.
Note: This is a product of months of writing block, my ex cheating on me, and the amazing song Cardi b Thru your Phone
Pairings: Bucky x Reader, avengers x reader
Warnings: I haven’t written in ages this is shit! angst, a lottttt of swearing, cheating ass dicks, fluff, mentions of sex/sexual activities
———————————————
people say long distance relationships are hard, you would definitely agree. You have been with you boyfriend Daniel, ‘Dan’, ever since you were both just silly seventeen-year-olds begging to leave high school together as soon as possible so your adventures could begin but now, that adventure was coming to an abrupt end.
Throughout your nearly 10 year on and off relationship you’ve both been told “your not experiencing the world”, “how do you know you truly love each other” and “ she’ll/he’ll cheat on you when you’re not around.” And many more horrible things but you two didn’t let that stop your love.
That didn’t mean you two didn’t end it sometimes , their was that 3 year break for uni (minus the drunken hookups) so you too could discover yourself, their was the 2 years you did work experience at a marine biology research lab, where he ended up becoming a security guard without even knowing you worked there and that was where you gained your powers and were being helped by you boss so you couldn’t just leave. Don’t forget their was all the blind dates you were set up on which every time turned out to be him, so it just felt like you could never escape each other so the relationship carried on, but now, 4 years later, it’s even more complicated.
After a freak accident in you lab one night you were ‘blessed’ with the ability to control the element of water, that wasn’t in the description of your marine biology degree though, your boss whose wife was born with a similar gift offered to help you and later was the one who introduced you to the one and only nick fury after your powers needed a more professional approach.
So here you are now, 10 years later from once being seventeen, sat around a marble table surrounded by a team of superhero’s eating spaghetti like six-year-olds and everything seemed good, but not for long.
Last week was your high school best friend Jenny’s birthday party but sadly you were too busy with a mission to go, so instead of the 15 hours plane ride straight after a 3 day mission in Russia your other best friend Neveah sent videos and photos of parts of the night so you could see what you were missing. As everyone talked and laughed you placed your phone in you hand with a on EarPod in one ear smiling at all you high school friends dancing and smiling at the camera saying stupid jokes about you throughout, your laughs soon caught the attention of the team who ended up watching your drunk friends with you laughing along, but the laughter was soon cut short by Sam yelling,
“what the fuck is he doing!” He screams angrily as he grabs your phone pausing the video and zooming in, Bucky and Wanda had gone over to look at what he was yelling at and soon Wandas eyes turned ruby red and Buckys fists clenched
“I’m going to fucking kill him.” His voice turned cold and his eyes swirling with rage.
While everyone was trying to calm the three down you managed to get your phone back and your eyes raced across the screen only to be greeted by your boyfriend making out with Jenny, your best friend. Suddenly everything in your life went silent and you lost all ability to function, your body fell back into your chair and the glass of water in your other hand smashed against the tiled floor, you hastily scurried up to your feet and pushed your way through the teams bodies, you began hurrying into the corridor to your bedroom, faint shouts of your name were blocked out by what you think were your tears as your wooden door slammed shut and your body slid down it .
“Miss (y/l/n), you’re in distress, shall I get help.” F.R.I.D.A.Y’s voice broke the tear-filled air.
“No...no F.R.I.D.A.Y don’t le- don’t let anybody in, please.” Your voice no longer cheerful but now breaking and blocked by tears and as you hand shook your now tear stained cheeks glowed in the screen light and your weak fingers scrolled through your contacts to find that dicks name.
You lifted yourself of the ground and placed yourself on the bed as your phone dialled, your friends waited outside the door, Bucky angrily pacing down the corridor as his anger boiled up inside, while everyone just waited to hear him pick up, and well, he did.
“Hey (y/n) ! I just got back from a shift you alri-“Dan’s cheerful voice was soon cut off by a loud sob.
“Ho- how could you.” Pain and hurt was all Bucky and everyone else could hear in your voice as they sat in the corridor snooping into the conversation like teens, wanting to make sure that asshole didn’t hurt you even more.
“Babe wha-“ Bucky scoffed at his nickname, you always hated being called that but you put up with it for him.
“Don’t fucking call me that.” You snapped back at him.
“Okay okay, (y/n) I just need you to calm down I think you having another anxiety attack.” He pleaded with innocence, nearly causing Nat to jump on a plane to snap his neck.
“I’m not having an anxiety attack you dickshit! This is just the effects of finding out your boyfriend of TEN FUCKING YEARS HAS BEEN NECKING ON WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND” you screamed down the phone as the speaker button flickered white in the darkness, all the pain in your heart begin pouring out like a waterfall.
“Babe...I um...I” Lost for words was all anybody would describe what was happening right and it wasn’t good.
“So now you’re lost for words? Bet you’ve been saying a lot of nice shit to Jenny haven’t you? Oh wait your tongue has been too busy down her fucking throat.” Tony couldn’t help silently chuckle at his gals response, he’d taught her well when it comes to dealing with assholes.
“It’s not like that, you don’t understand.” He pleaded, wanting her just to breathe and let him explain.
“Then fucking explain it to me Daniel! Enlighten me with your amazing knowledge.” Sarcasm dripping towards the end of your sentence as you began sorting through your wardrobe and throwing all his hoodies and gifts he gave you onto the floor so that every trace of him was no longer in your life.
“ i know I know I just don’t know where to begin.” Dans head was full of confusion on how you found out but that wasn’t a good enough reason.
“Where to begin ? Maybe begin by telling me if this was a one time thing or have you been fucking my best friend since we were seventeen.” Your heart was rapidly beating with fear and anxiety as you wondered if your whole relationship had been one massive coverup and lie, you wanted to sound scary and intimidating but every time you spoke your voice just turned into a sob of tears.
“It’s been going on for nearly 4 years” and that’s when your heart fully broke and the team sat out side all look at each other in shock at disgust.
“4 years, 4 bloody years.” You whispered as you hastily grabbed and sat in your chair, looking out at the New York skyline as the room began to spin.
“So you’re telling me that you, Daniel River Fucking Brown was cheating on me with my best friend when I was kidnapped by FUCKING HYDRA!” You voice was more filled with sadness than anything as you hand slammed into your table knocking over the picture frame of you too at prom, the whole team heard the shatter of glass and Bucky was so tempted to go in there and wrap in his arms until this nightmare ended.
The memories of the beginning of those four years hurt more then anything due to the fact after the first couple months you joined the avengers your powers had increased beyond belief, you could now control all the elements and were commonly known by the world as Gardien du Ciel or Sky Guardian and it caused you to became a high priority for hydra, and soon you became their prisoner for nearly a year after they took you while you were on your way to visit Dan for your anniversary.
“Yes, yes I am.” His voice was soft and quite now, like he was embarrassed or something.
“After you were taken I was messed up, I was already struggling without you by my side while you were in New York but now you could never come back due to Hydra And i was struggling to live” the whole team brewed with anger as he tried to play victim without even knowing that they already knew the whole truth.
“One night a couple of months after you were taken I got into really bad place, and Jenny came round when she thought something was wrong because I missed work. We ended up talking for hours everyday for weeks and one night one thing lead to another and it’s been happening ever since, she just wanted to comfort me.” He hastily finished explaining like he just wanted this conversation to be over because he couldn’t be bother to keep lying.
“Bullshit.” Was all you responded with
“What.” He questioned with slight anger
“It’s a bullshit excuse, that’s what that is, the whole time i was taken I know you did jack shit, you never called my team when I missed are anniversary dinner, Tony had to call you to tell you I was missing and he was on the other side of the world! My friends told me how you went partying every Saturday like usual, they told me you never came to the searches and light ceremonies they held, you did fucking nothing Daniel! The people I was captured by showed me the news reports and you were never there Daniel! You never were, and I’m tired of pretending like it didn’t hurt!” You could hear your heart breaking through every word as the flashbacks of those 11 months tortured your brain.
“I just couldn’t deal with it.” Was all he responded with
“And you think I could ? You think I was doing just fine getting tortured and abused? Because I wasn’t !” This whole event finally made you realise that you haven’t even been in love with this asshole these pass 4 years and you were tired of faking it.
“I know (y/n) I know !” His voice full of anger now like you were the one in the wrong
“How the fuck would you know? You didn’t even see me in hospital after I was rescued? Bucky was the first one there and was by my side every night through the coma and after while you where partying and fucking Jenny!” Your heart flutter at the memories of hearing his voice everyday until you woke up from that coma and he smiled at the fact you remembered he was even there.
“Oh god don’t bring Bucky Into this.” He groaned with disrespect
“What on earth is that suppose to mean.” You snapped back with disgust
“You know what I mean (y/n), the whole time you’ve been at that tower I’ve seen and heard the way you felt about him” Dans voice was laced in hate with every word he spoke while the team all seemed to look a Bucky with “we all already knew” looks while his face was full of shock.
“Daniel we talked about this last time I was in London, I told you about me feelings for bucky because I wanted their to be trust in are relationship, but I guess you don’t know what trust is, and i think these past 4 years of me growing to love that man was my heart and subconscious telling me that I don’t love your stupid ass at all and I just need my best friend and the man I’m Truly in love with as the guy by my side not the guy who I fucked at prom and only lasted five fucking seconds.” And with that final comment your hung up, falling back into the bed you just cried yourself asleep, not knowing that your team had just heard the whole thing, including Bucky hearing your confession of liking him.
Pt 2 coming tomorrow 💞💞

IS IT A CLUE?
COBIE'S SECRET INVASION PRESS DAY OUTFIT WAS A NEON GREEN LONG SKIRT!
In the series secret or hidden Skrulls are allegedly often wearing green. You can only see her green skirt some of the time in the press day interviews... hmm. Maybe it's just and ode to them, maybe it is nothing but I did think this was an unusual look... JUST A THOUGHT.
I'm wilding out today. I thought I was getting over it but I guess not.

Story of The Ice Wolf
PART 16
OTHER PARTS:
PART 15 PART 14 PART 1
WARNINGS: mentions of scars, blood, implied sex, graphic description of violence and wounds.
Hey fellas! I’m really, really sorry it took me so long to post this part. I really hope the wait is worth it. Any feedback, comment will be very much appreaciated.
By the way this is a 16K+ chapter.
You snap your stare at her making Wanda roll her eyes at you “I have a huge need to feel offended Helen” you say with a frown.
“Get over it. Keep frowning you’ll get wrinkles” Helen says with a teasing tone.
Anika, Costel and the wolves rush in and the young adults burst out in boisterous laughter at the sight of your broken nose.
Costel accented voice is the first to tease “Man! Peter packed you a hell of a punch!”.
Anika goes next “Come on old dog! That’s a shame to the family”.
You lock them in murderous scowl “Director can I get a window to hide two bodies?” the man just side smirks a little.
You feel Wanda’s hands moving back your face towards her “No killing family Y/N” she says with a stern face “Now you two you better run before I show you why the 'scarlet’ in my code name”.
The two young adults gulp heavily before rushing out, the wolves wag their tails at they rushed backdown (“The big pups run fast”).
After a further scolding from Nick and Maria due to reckless behavior while Cho helps you with her tech. The earful lecture ends when the commanding officers leave the lab.
---
After getting your nose healed, and Pietro teasing the shit out of you. You are getting your stuff ready. The motorcycle you are taking is ready and waiting to be loaded in the Avengers compound hangar.
"Little one, I'm no telepath but your anxiety is quite obvious" you are doing a last run down of your equipment, when there's no smart or sassy retort you know she has it bad.
When you walk in your shared room she is sitting in the bed with her back on the headboard, she is looking at a picture. When you are standing beside her you see It was the picture she took before the failure of mission almost three years ago.
The two of you went for the weekend two one of the most exclusive resorts in Switzerland the chill temperature give you both and excuse to cuddle at any given chance. The picture is the two of you cuddling in the outdoor hot tub, you have her wrapped in your arms while you kiss her cheek your eyes closed. She is smiling broadly at her cellphone camera eyes squinted on delight, the white powdered mountains in the background.
"Wan" kneeling down you search for her eyes which are a little clouded with a mix of worry and sadness "My love, I will comeback. This is just a hunt, I'm not alone".
She furrows her eyebrows "You weren't alone those times either... And you... Damn it!" she takes a gulp of air as she lifts her head back trying to blink away her tears, putting the picture on the bedside table on her right.
Still kneeling you take her fidgeting hands in yours, caressing the back of her hands with your thumbs "I'm here now...” find the right words to say is hard, clearing your throat you go on “I know I'm still struggling love, I have my bad days, but as long as you want me I'll do anything to be with you Wanda" you softly say your eyes searching hers.
Tears silently begun to run down her cheeks, "Is it too childish asking you to stay?" she begins to fiddle with her meteorite ring as your hands are still gently covering hers.
Sighing softly in frustration with yourself you stand two cradle her face gently you make her lower her chin to look at you, and you wipe away her tears "Let me go with you" she breaths out.
You look at her reddened green orbs "Wan I have no idea what I will find. I won't put you through MY pain, I've given you enough" you feel her jaw muscles tightening on your left hand, Wanda is your world is the most precious being that you get to call yours to protect, with all gentleness that no one might think you possess you caress along her jaw line helping her relax her features.
"I promise you to come back, don't doubt my prowess my Scarlet Witch, this Ice Wolf still has a strong game" you lean down to kiss her softly at first tentative giving her the chance to draw back when she doesn’t you increase the pressure until it climbs up to an intense make out session. You crawl in the bed to straddle her hips projecting all the love you have for her in every kiss and tug on her lower lip.
After a while both of you are simply lying in bed closely facing the other, sharing each other warm breath, Wanda is more at ease her relaxed features and small dopey smile talk volumes. Your hand is partially buried in her long soft hair strands your thumb caressing her cheekbone, her smile makes you heart skip more than one beat she looks like an angel.
*Captain Wolf, I apologize for the interruption. Director Fury called for an early debrief*
You sigh in annoyance, making Wanda jiggle softly "Thank you F.R.I.D.A.Y. Tell him I'm on my way, please".
You lift your upper body with your metal forearm "Don't eat your worriedness in junk food love, now you have to be a good role model for Pietro’s mini me" leaning down you kiss her temple one last time, when you lean back she follows you to kiss you briskly before you get off bed.
---
You are shutting close the trunk of your '68 mustang when you hear Orion's steps getting close he has his combat vest on and serious expression.
("Nebula is going with sergeant, I'm going with you captain") he declares with a regal posture.
"I told you to stay and take care of them" you state folding your arms in front of you.
("I love them, I'd die for them. But my duty is with you Captain Ice Wolf").
You give him a bittersweet smile, indeed not all the things Hydra has given you are bad. Walking to the passenger door you open it for him ("Shot gun!") he hops in making you snort “You can’t even shoot Orion” you say out loud before getting in the pilot seat.
---
Technically it was a debrief but the only participants were Fury, Hill and you, the reunion was held in the director’s office. They gave you green light for a small side mission along with the main one, they also told you to find as much intel as you could gather about Hydra’s new experiments, it seems like Hydra is moving again towards experimenting with people and they are about to breakout another civil war as a façade, a well-known trick used by them.
---
You hang out in the exterior main terrace smoking a cigarette with a cup of coffee. Orion silently lays by your left side, his massive form still intimidates some recruits specially the newbies, while you find it absolutely funny because Orion does not hurt a fly he huffs in annoyance, fear means less petting.
While you walk alongside Orion to the conference room you hear Bobbi calling you to stop. When you turn around Sharon is with her, you give them a wide smirk before teasing them "Hello ladies, did you have a good beauty sleep?".
"Just like you had cosmetic surgery last minute" Bobbi retorts with a smirk and you groan in annoyance, making Sharon snort quietly “Didn’t see that coming Wolf? She teases.
"Oh! Fuck you both".
"You wish" they both answer before leaning down a little to pet Orion "Hello handsome" making him wag his tail happily.
Maria walks pasts the four of you "Move it ladies and wolf, we have no time to waste".
---
Bobbi and Sharon give a debrief of their findings in their last mission. Which end up involving the wanted targets.
"...That's why instead of going to north- west India we have to scatter around Europe" Bobbi says with a map of Europe displayed in a projection screen behind her.
France, Russia, Germany are the main location there's some digging to be done but the mission should go smoothly.
Maria takes the clue to go on "The teams will be Romanoff and Barnes, Morse and Carter and Barton and Wolf. The wolves huff in annoyance at being left out, the deputy director just stares at them with her eyebrow raised high "And the wolves with their respective soldiers" they nod and sit in attention happy with the orders.
"Captain Wolf do the honors" Nick says with a teasing smirk. You roll your eyes, no one is dropping the whole captain rank anytime soon.
"Barnes take Russia. You know that landscape better than anyone" they nod in agreement.
"Morse take France. Both of you have a fair layout of the city, am I correct?".
"Yes" both agents answer, however Morse has other ideas "Can we trade partners, so you can teach me some of your impeccable French?" Bobbi says with a teasing tone and wink.
Her request makes you give her a massive eyeroll "Morse think with the thing in your head, not your pants" you retort with a brief scowl, making the others snort lightly.
"Barton and I will take Germany".
"Oookey stop there Wolf" Clint says crossing his arms "Germany is not my playground" he says with a deep frown.
"I know Barton, Germany is mine".
"What?!" he exclaims dropping down his arms and jaw.
"The lab where they pieced me back together was in Germany, however they trained me in Russia. My bases where Russia, Germany and Sokovia" you explain a little, he just frowns like the grumpy cat meme muttering "secrets, and more secrets next time she will reveal she was the one directing Hydra all this years".
The rest just shake their heads at Clint's little monologue, Fury takes over again "Agents, each of you will have a quinjet to use. Now go and bring them in" he says with his characteristic authoritative speech. A chorus of 'Yes sir' and “Aye aye sir” fill the room before you all scatter.

[23:45] S.H.I.E.L.D hellicarrier
You are still dressed in civilian clothes, boots, black cargo pants, long sleeve red shirt, and black leather jacket, you are in the quinjet doing the last checkups to your equipment, Orion is by sitting close to you, he was adamant on coming with you. You walk over were your motorcycle is, and you check that it is correctly secured.
"Y/N, why do you have two sets of cases?" Clint says eyeing your equipment.
“I have two different parties to attend Barton”
"Luckily for you I don't need much sleep. We are ready to go". He says with a big smirk while he secures his own case.
"No, you just need industrial amounts of coffee".
As the three of you fly to Germany you decide to reveal Clint your side mission. You take the co-pilot seat. The Hawkeye never fails not at shooting arrows neither at figuring out situations "Wolf, there’s something else planned right?".
You hum in answer "Fly to Russia first Clint, when we are nearing Germany put the stealth mode on" you hand him a tablet with the locations of several targets you are going for.
---
03:22 [Russia]
You are already suited, sitting on the floor you are making the last adjustments to the system you'll be using as support, the laptop is resting on your tights there's a cord connecting the laptop to a collar resting beside you. Orion is snuggled on your left side. The only sounds are the engine of the quinjet and the soft click of the keyboard.
"Wolf you ready? we are ten minutes away from the first location".
"Almost" you put the laptop aside, the system is almost loaded. You stand up and head to the motorcycle, there's a whoosh sound of the motorcycle cover being peel off to reveal the matt charcoal grey Honda CBR110XX super blackbird, this is not the common one, you made sure this has a hybrid engine and a turbo, the electric engine gives you the silent advantage, while the normal engine can make you disappear as fast as you need it.
Clint walks out of the cockpit to stand by close "Holy shit Wolf! How much you have spent vehicles?!” he walks around checking out the bike before pointing out “That led headlights will be a problem".
"I don't need the headlights" you strap your guns to its holsters and sheath the swords the handles pointing to the ground, the military tactical knives already in place.
"How so?” he says leaning in a little “You are driving blinded? Wanda will kill you" he says his eyebrows furrowed.
"No, the helmet is connected to F.R.I.D.A.Y's system and sever, is pretty much the same interface that Tony uses in his suits" you put a comm in the left ear.
"Firstly, I don't see any helmet, second how the hell you got the platform?" his hands goes to the back of his head in disbelief.
You smirk at him "That's when the discretion part comes in Clint, and you are insulting me, Tony is not the only one that knows how to play with technology and engines" you crunch to grab the collar and the laptop and walk towards him while you clasp the collar around your neck "Now, keep the laptop open and here is the missing helmet" you say as you point at the collar.
---
The quinjet comes to stop and lowers three meters away from the pavement. "Stay put in the outskirts, F.R.I.D.A.Y will keep you updated" you walk to the motorcycle, pressing a pedal in the floor, the platform securing system unclasp, Orion rushes ready to jump alongside you "Orion I told you, stay here to help Clint" he lowers his ears and whines a little sitting on his hinds.
The back door opens, you hurry to straddle the motorcycle and turn on the engine, it roars to live, the rumble of the engine traveling through your body ignites the thrill of the hunt. A huge twisted smirk shows in your face, you press the button in the side of the collar, a matching matt charcoal grey helmet ensemble around your head. Without thinking twice, you speed off the quinjet, the motorcycle never loses balance as it lands in the cracked pavement.
*Locate the first five targets*
F.R.I.D.A.Y voice responds *The targets are located inside an old factory 16 miles from current location, showing fastest route* you speed off following the I.A directions.
Two miles away from the factory you turn off the engine and headlights *Enable any security system in the building, initialize the hacking of the electronic devices*.
You halt the bike in the south side of the factory, there's two guards outside your targets spread through the building.
*Put down their comms after the first guard is down*.
Silently you get close to the guard through the shadows, standing behind him you make a quick work snapping his neck, you don’t let him fall and lower the body slowly. Before moving to the next target, you take a pill from your belt and put it in his mouth, you don't need to stay to witness his body turning to dust.
Quickly you climb the broken side of the structure to gain the advantage in the roof. The second guard is close to the entrance, you unholster the right gun holstered on your tight and take the suppressor off to shoot the guard in the head. Crunching low you see your targets rushing to the entrance, the leader is shouting through the comms for the other guard in vain, you quickly re-attach the suppressor and holster the gun, following their moves.
When one of the guys stand below the hole through which you are observing them, you jump off the roof using him as landing spot, you can hear his spine shattering under the weight of your body, the others quickly turn around guns ready.
It only takes them a few seconds to recognize you, you can't keep the smile from your face when pure horror reaches their features. While their raised hands tremble with the guns, you drive one of your swords through the heart of the fallen soldier who was whimpering in agony.
The one you know is the leader speaks to you in Russian his voice trembling "Ca- captain Ice Wolf what can we do for you?" you stand up slowly and confident with a swift move of your wrist the blood is shaken off the blade.
"Trying to buy time for your traps?" their eyes widen a little "Don't bother they are out. Now... I have two options for you, A: give me all the intel you have, and I'll kill you painfully but quick, option B: I'll get the intel anyway, but your deaths will be slow and agonizing".
The one by his left shouts "You don't scare us fucking..." you don't let him end, with a small move of your right hand the sword is imbedded through his skull, the body drops to the ground with a heavy thud "I just need one of you, who has the intel?" you step even closer to the remaining two, one of them starts backing off while he empties his twelve bullet mag, the bullets ricochet on your suit, you get closer to rip off the guns from his grip breaking his hand in the process, before he can scream no knock him out with a punch of your left hand.
"Seems like you are the winner" with a swift round kick you knock him out. From your gear belt you retrieve two quarter inch stainless cable reels to tight their hands and leave them hanging from the truss, then you proceed to retrieve your sword and turn to ashes the other two bodies.
F.R.I.D.A.Y voice talks through the comm *Wolf you have 40 minutes to keep the schedule, it would take 20 to reach the quinjet*
*I'll be quick*
You unclasp the sheathed swords from your back and dive the end of the scabbards in their stomachs making them regain consciousness groaning in pain. You set your gaze in the leader "let me give you a glimpse of what can be your ticket out of this life soldier".
After clasping back the swords and turning the helmet to collar again with the button, you proceed to plummet down the other, well you don't even break a sweat, they aren't super soldiers, you made sure that he stay alive during the beat down leaving him crying and drooling blood while his body swings in the air wrists bleeding, you stop the movements with a kick on his ribcage, he is starting to loose consciousness so you tap him in the already bleeding and swollen face "hey, soldier head up, the best is yet to come".
"The-the others ar-aren't here captain" the other stammers "places soldier" you say sternly, he audibly gulps "the other fi-five are in Romania captain" you tilt your head "where is sergeant Yuri?".
"I-I don't know he paid us and told us to lay low" you turn around to stare at him, cold empty expression. "You lied soldier, you know were Yuri is".
*twelve minutes*
"Please just put a bullet in my head, he-he is hiding in Germany, at least that's the last location I know". You crack your knuckles and neck "That's true, but you lied first, and I never break my word soldier. "Have you ever screamed bloody while they tear you apart?" you retrieve the hunting knives.
---
[05:00]
"Should I be worried that you are dripping red all over the quinjet?".
"You should be glad Barton".
The motorcycle once again is secured to the platform and the tank on its way to be refueled and battery charged, you are sitting in the floor back against the wall, Orion lying across your extended legs, your hands trailing through his fur, Mamont bottle by your side.
The next five targets won't be that quick, they are scattered around the outskirts of Romania, you'll have to kill at least two before sunshine, and wait for the next night.
*Locate the targets closest to our route. Keep track to the rest, please*
"Tony will try to kill you for using F.R.I.D.A.Y"
"You know, I could use my server, but is funnier to reel up Tony, besides his servers are faster than mine, Fury will kill me if I use the hellicarrier's".
Natasha, Bobbi channel pitch in the quinjet "Wolf any idea where we can lay low?" the redhead enquires playing fool she knows about the bunker in Romania.
You hum as you take a gulp of the vodka "I'm sending the coordinates just lower the quinjet we will arrive first".
*Ten minutes from the next target, ma'am there's actually two of them seems like they are in the middle of an intercourse* you could swear F.R.I.D.A.Y’s voice had a hint if humor.
"Not a dignified way to go".
You signal Orion to move off your lap to repeat the process.
---
[05:13]
*Repeat the process F.R.I.D.A.Y. Hack all the devices*
You stop the motorcycle in an alleyway, the three-story building is a little old, the window of the master bedroom is open (This will be so fun) you climb the wall, moans and grunts give you the extra cover to stand beside the bed in the dark room.
"You know, for being a male your technique is awful sergeant".
Surprisingly they don't scream, the sergeant pulls out and launches at you, you simply side step to the left and closing your right fist his stomach collides on it winding him out, when he falls face to the floor you stomp in the back of his head knocking him.
The woman tries to cover with the bed sheets "Who are you?!" when you walk closer she retrieves a gun from under the pillow her voice now firm "You have three seconds to answer" you hear the safety going off.
"Lieutenant, that's not the manners to address a captain" with the helmet still on you can see her face change from challenging to horror. Before she shots you block the barrel with your right palm imploding the gun in a muffled sound, with the same hand you knock her out.
You walk to the kitchen to retrieve two chairs, along the way you take the cigarette package and lighter forgotten in the table. *How's the timing F.R.I.D.A.Y?* you walk back to the room and put the chairs close to the beam of moon light that enters the room. *Ma'am you have forty-five minutes to head back to the quinjet* you set them in the chairs tying them firmly to the chairs with the stainless cord. Then you grab the package to light a cigarette, after the second drag you blow the smoke in their faces, making them cough (that happens when you buy cheap shit).
You leave the cigarette in your lips; their eyes widen when you start taking off your gloves and jacket. You tilt your head in confusion to their reaction. "Unfortunately for you is not what you are thinking, 'Scarlett Witch' is the only ones that can have the Ice wolf" you give the cigarette another puff "I have something better for you both" as the smoke scape your lips you pull up the rash guard sleeves above your elbows.
"Tell me sergeant have they ever pull out your beating heart from your chest? While you are still awake" before they can answer you damage their windpipes crushing them a little in your hands "Now you can talk".
Their voices are graveled and low "You are a fucking monster Ice Wolf" you shrug off their comment.
"Thank Hydra for that" you take another drag calmly crossing your right leg over the left "You know what's even more fun? when you loved one see your beating heart, that's a view to behold if you live enough to remember" both tense up in fear, the lieutenant is the next to whisper "the rumors are true?" your laugh is accompanied by smoke "Come on guys those are not rumors, they are whispered pieces of truth".
*Thirty-five minutes ma'am*.
You take the cigarette in between your steel fingers "Well time to play" you forcibly shove a towel in their mouths, and extinguish the cigarette in his forehead, with a calculated punch you break his sternum, then proceed to slowly tear open flesh and muscle of his chest with your wakizashi sword when it's done you bury the steel in the lieutenant left tight, her faint muffled scream can be heard. Then with your hands you pry open his chest and retrieve his beating heart with your flesh hand "See? Is truly a view to behold" the guy is drenched in sweat, he almost past out, but with a faint squeeze on the soft organ, he startles awake, "Something I need to know?" he nods, you take the towel from his mouth. "Yu-yuri lives in Germany a house in the country side" you frown "Tell me about Kosovo and the experiments".
*Ma'am the lieutenant might know, he doesn't, fifteen minutes*.
"I-I have no intel in Kosovo", you nod faintly "Lieutenant is up to you then" crossing your left hand you remove the towel, she has tears running down her cheeks, skin pale "Ko-kosovo will be like Sokovia, hydra is retrieving people to experiment on, the civil war will be a charade" you frown deeper this time "that's not much" you shove the towel in her mouth again, this time you squeeze his heart as your right hands crushes his neck.
You retrieve the towel and shove a pill in his mouth, you wipe the blood off your hands with the same towel and remove hers. "I'm losing patience, last time or I'll do the same to you but trusting my hand through your chest".
"NO! no! captain please, please that's the only thing I know" at your blank cold face she gets nervous "there are enhanced on the attack ranks, take my laptop, you can access the server, please just..." she starts whimpering, getting closer you put the barrel of your beretta in her forehead "Thank you" you simply nod at her "Close your eyes" when she does you pull the trigger.
You feel nothing as you turn the bodies to ashes with the pills and clean everything with pure bleach and wash off the blood off your hands.
After everything is done, you silently climb down through the back of the building, for your surprise when you walk near the bike you see a small fur ball under it.
At first you get suspicious and look around but F.R.I.D.A.Y clear the air *Wolf there's no one nearby is a stray dog, it might got close due to Orion's smell*.
Disactivating briefly the voice synthesizer you kneel down a few feet away to coax the little pup out, the little dog clumsy turns towards you big light blue eyes almost white stare back up at you with curiosity "Hey little ball, come here" you say softly, it's hard to believe how you can switch from cold assassin to normal human being in a flick.
You see the little butt wiggle before it clumsy crawls out of the bike and walks to you tumbling a little, it indeed is tiny most likely a barely two week old puppy "F.R.I.D.A.Y any sign of the mother?".
A few seconds later she answers *No ma'am*.
You gently pick the tiny pup grabbing it under its arms pits with the belly exposed you see that the 'it' is a girl, her fur color is hidden behind grime and other filthy things "It would be quite hypocrite of me to leave you here don't you think?" the tiny thing just stares back at you. It fits perfectly in your left gloved hand, carefully you stand up to straddle the bike and figure out how to transport the pup.
In the end you take off your right glove and put the pup inside, then you put the pup inside your jacket to protect it from the wind.
---
[06:25]
The sun is five minutes away from start peeking through the horizon. The little pup is secured in the front of your jacket, the rumbling of the motorcycle scared her at first, so you switched to electric mode.
*Ma'am the laptop is free from tracker, I assume you don't wish tonight's footage being saved*.
*Your assumption is correct F.R.I.D.A.Y. Log off when I park in the quinjet, I'll do the hacking myself. I'll contact you tonight*.
*Very well ma'am. Do you wish to pass a message to Miss Wanda?*
*Just tell her I'm ok, thank you*.
*Barton lower the ramp*
---
The motorcycle comes to a halt, Orion hurries to sniffle your jacket, "easy boy" you get off the bike, take off the backpack with the laptop and puppy food to put it on the floor. You keep your left hand securing the pup on your jacket while you clasp in place the motorcycle, Orion is doing a little over wagging while he follows you around the bike ("Little pup! Little pup! Let me sniff and say hi!").
Clint tilts his head in confusion not everyday Orion acts more like an excited dog than a Wolf "what you got there cap?".
"In the backpack or the jacket?".
"Both smartass" he says lazily from the pilot chair.
"there's a pup in my jacket and a laptop in the bag" you un zip the jacket to retrieve the tiny pup from the glove and take off the jacket then grab the bag pack to walk to the control panel and sit beside Barton who almost shrieks in delight at the sight of the pup, he tries to take it away from you but you swing the chair to avoid his hands "when you are done piloting you can pester her".
"Aaah! Come on Y/N!" he whines behind you "Let me hug her, she is so cute" you just stare at him while he whines again "Ok ok enough just don't crash the jet" you gently hand him the pup and he cradles her to his chest while Orion boops his massive nose on hers.
---
[7:08]
"Are you sure is a good idea to land in that spot?" Clint says as he eyes the tight spot in the forest.
"Do as I say Birdbrain" you say from the copilot seat as you log in in your private server. The quinjet hovers over a specific spot beside a small wood and stone cabin that is close to a stream.
"Why so adamant in the spot Wolf?" after pressing a few keys of your laptop the green grass splits up, leaving a metal platform big enough for the quinjet, "Lower the jet" when the undercarriage touches the platform you press more keys, the platform lowers further while the ceiling closes back.
"what the fuck wolf?!" he exclaims scaring the pup you glare at him as he sheepishly mouths a 'sorry' and pets the puppy to calm her down "What's next? luxurious mansions in Dubai, Monaco, Hawaii, safe houses all over the world?".
A smirk is your only answer, the jet is slides to the far-left end leaving space for other two jets, the back gate of the quinjet opens, the bunker is BIG, there's two all-terrain SUVs, is a complete open space living room, dinning, the element dividing the dining and kitchen is a glass cava. Between the garage space and the living, there's a control station six twenty-inch screens displaying images and data.
*Welcome back captain. Unauthorized presence detected*
Clint looks at you wide eyed, you smirk at him before giving orders *Register presence agent Clint Barton, code name Hawkeye*
"Person registered, welcome agent Barton*
You walk further *Initialize security protocol 2.0*
*Yes captain*.
"Knock yourself out Clint there's food in the fridge, the bedrooms are in the end of the hall" You walk to the control panel to sync the devices and grab your phone to call Hill, Barton just stares at your mouth hanging open the pup takes the chance to lick his chin, as Orion hurries to roam around wagging his tail.
[Phone call]
*Wolf do you need something? * Maria asks simply you can hear her flipping through paperwork.
*I need access to S.H.I.E.L.D’s sever, I found intel about Kosovo and will hack a device that has access into a Hydra database*
*That was not your mission Wolf, how can you be sure of that intel*
*Hill the sergeant I interrogated said that Kosovo is Sokovia all over again we can't go in blindly*
*Give me fifteen minutes, I'll grant you access*
---
After a shower and putting the suit to wash you walk back to the control area. Your laptop shows S.H.E.L.D logo signaling your authorized access. You start working, Orion hurries to your side, you pet him while you work. From your station you can see a now clean pup with a beautiful honey coat fur is on Clint's arms as he prepares the puppy formula you 'bought', you actually slipped in a veterinary, grabbed the food and left a little note with way too much money for the trouble.
While you work the first ones to arrive are Natasha and Bucky, you grant them access and their quinjet is sledded to the left leaving the middle space for Morse and Carter.
Clint hurries to question the ex-assassins to if they knew about the 'Freaking cool bunker' they only answer with a 'of course Clint not the first time we are here' surprising Clint as he fakes being wounded.
Nebula hurries to say hi to you "Hi Nebula" you pet her with your left hand "Can you take care of her?" you ask the female wolf tilting your head towards Clint
"Yes ma'am" she boops your hand with her nose before moving, while Clint accuses them of traitors Nebula gets in momma bear mode and takes the now clean and fed pup from Clint's arms moving to the couch to cuddle the tiny pup that wastes no time in hiding in Nebula's warm fur.
As you begin to figure out the best way to work the codes down you hear Natasha rolling close a chair you make some room for her to sit by your right "Let's have some fun Wolf" she says with a wide smirk as she retrieves a keyboard from the drawer below the desktop.
"We shall play a game" you answer with a smirk.
Natasha gives you her trademark smirk, oh boy that's trouble being loaded faster than a hand gun clip "Let's bet on this one" she says with a sultry voice.
You lean back on the backrest a little arrogantly "Shoot".
"An ZL1 corvette" she says simply with a wink.
"You don't want to bet this one Wolf" Bucky says as he walks by behind you two.
You snicker at the man's confidence "You are on ballerina, I want white body with camel leather" you throw at her.
She smirks again "You know how I like my girls Wolf" she says sending you a kiss "James I got us a new car!" she says with pure confidence and snickering at your offended demeanor.
"Wolf! I need a truck and a pickup too, I'm getting in the bet" Clint calls out as he too walks to the kitchen with a wide side smile.
"You all are a bunch of vultures, you just want my money" you grumble glaring at them ("We still love you! Even more when you feed us") Orion and Nebula chant in your mind, their comment makes you and Bucky snort.
Sometime later the last quinjet is lowered, Bobbi and Sharon step down with a surprised expressions, the latter being the first to step in the bunker.
"Hey Wolf! What in the name of hell is this place?" Bobbi asks.
*Unauthorized presences detected*
"What?! You have an A.I too?" Sharon asks as Bobbi as they glance around.
"Register first presence Sharon Carter, code name Agent 13. Sharon raise your hand please" you instruct without faltering your hacking work your eyebrows furrowed in concentration.
*Person registered, welcome agent Carter*.
"Second presence Bobbi Morse, code name Mockingbird*.
*Person registered, welcome agent Morse*.
"Holy shit Wolf" Bobbi exclaims as she and Sharon look around until they feel Nebula's annoyed glare.
Sharon moves to stand behind Natasha and you, she sees the competitive way in which you two are working the clicks to the keyboards like bursts of bullets "Are you seriously competing on who hacks Hydra's server and intel first?" she asks in annoyance and amusement.
Both of you just shrug, as Bucky and Barton snicker from their spots on the dining table "Wanna bet doll?" Bucky asks with a tiny smirk.
"No thanks" she says with a small smile "Just keep them from killing each other" she moves to the kitchen "Barton, Barnes you are both seriously a lost cause, you could have made something to eat".
"I made coffee" Clint says with a shrug raising his coffee pot "There's no pizza to heat".
Sharon glares at him and then turns to Bucky "Don't look at me doll, that kitchen appliances are way to high tech for me" Bucky says lifting his hands in innocence.
Sharon just slaps her hand on her forehead "Morse be of use and help me cook, leave Nebula's pup alone" she turns around just to quickly whip her head back "Nebula has a pup?!".
Clint dryly snickers from his seat "Not exactly Wolf found the little pup and she brought her, Nebula took her away from me".
Bobbi was petting the wolves and the little pup before moving away "Thank god she did otherwise she will end up living of coffee" Bobbi says as she walks to the kitchen.
---
A wine bottle and half cigarette package later you pinch your bridge nose, while the last of the intel downloads you groan in annoyance, yup they will bleed you some cash.
"Told ya" Bucky calls from his spot on the sofa where is lying down staring at the concrete ceiling as he drums his fingers om his chest.
Natasha just laughs lowly as she sends the intel to Nick and Maria "Pleasure playing games Wolf".
"Fuck you Nat" you grumble in half annoyance.
Your previous actions and seeing again the info about Sokovia make you quite uncomfortable, some memories try to slip back in your mind.
"You should eat and sleep Y/N I doubt a wine bottle and cigarettes are enough to sustain a super soldier body" Clint says in half dad mode.
"You let out a dry laugh "More like 'half body' but you are right" you press the call button of your cellphone to call Maria and turn on the speaker.
(Fury's voice)
*Wolf and Natasha how the hell did you two hack all that in less than three hours?*
*Hill, is it my sleep deprived brain or your voice sounds sexier?* you throw smugly
You can hear Maria's small tight jiggles as Nick's voice takes over *Ha ha ha Wolf very funny. I take last night you had a good mission* the director says.
*Yes, hold the intervention until we have the targets secured which is tonight, seems like they are quite a group of enhanced lying low there*
*I can't let you take in on a civilian involved mission right after your party Wolf*
*What I do in my parties don't compromise the mission director*
*I'm not asking your input in my decisions Wolf, that's an order* you can hear the device being put on speaker.
(Hill's voice)
*Your orders are retrieving intel and get the targets and head back. Barton, we need you to leave Wolf in the Hungarian base then assist in the mission*
*Yes agent Hill*
*Wolf?*
*Beautiful night time story Hill* you say teasing her, however you face is set in anger.
[end of the call]
"Y/N those are the protocols, civilians are at stake" Clint says with a big frown Nat and Bucky just set their jaws, none of them like the protocols that the government pushed to be used on you.
"Protocols can kiss my ass Clint, that place is like a civil war, it will be worse than Sokovia with the enhanced".
---
[room in the bunker]
Even with Orion curled against you, sleep doesn't come easy. You are at peace with everything you've done, but the memories make your skin crawl, the 'monster' title has a rooted reason, reasons that make you see your hands drenched in blood. When you manage to escape the night terror is with a silent scream, your heart rate at its peak, cold sweat dampening your clothes. It has never easy to sleep without Wanda, her presence has always been enough to keep at bay your demons.
You sit in the bed, Orion's worried gaze tries to catch your attention, you pet him trying to reassure him, but he is not buying your lies, after all he can get in your mind.
("Captain you should catch more sleep").
You get up and change your clothes for sweatpants and sleeveless rash guard. Then you head to the medium size gym in the other side of the bunker.
While you plummet the punching bag, your mind keeps giving you glimpses of the bloodbath that was the civil war, you can't help it you were so young when death knocked on your door, the three of you weren't prepared to step on blood tainted streets, bodies turned to shreds and the stink of dead. Each memory reeling you up even though this time your felt hand is wrapped and gloved it will be bruised. The last punch that sends the punch bag flying against the concrete wall with a low hook with your left hand, the punching bag explodes and the sand oozes out of it like a sand clock signaling the end of time, leaving you panting like an enraged animal and still restless.
"You are such a mess without the twins close" Clint says from the door on your right. You only glare at him, he is holding out an acoustic guitar "If you can't sleep don't waste energy, play something".
"You just want a free show Clint" you say with annoyance and ragged breath.
"Guilty as charged, cool down, take a shower" he orders in full Hawkdad mode.
---
[19:15]
After playing guitar for a while you managed to catch two more hours of sleep. Now you are setting the communication line with F.R.I.D.A.Y.
*Goodnight capitan, I’m already setting out the routes and scanning the area* she talks through the comm in your ear.
*Let us know when we are safe to go* you avoid using her name to keep the others from knowing.
"Okey ladies let's finish this mission smoothly!" Natasha calls with a big smirk making Bucky, Clint and Orion huff in annoyance.
"Be glad we think of you when we say that" Bobbi says from the sofa.
"Come on doll, don't be mean" Bucky says kissing Nat's temple "Play nice".
"Or he will play dirty later" Sharon says with a wink.
"Sharon! There's things I don't want to know!" Clint whines with the pup in his arms.
You all are already in the quinjet Orion glued by your side "Ready Barton?" when he turns around you see the little pup head peeking through his jacket, "Seriously Clint? Leave her in the crate".
"No. I'll keep her safe" he immediately fires back covering her tiny body with his hand.
*Clear to take off. Routes loaded, fifteen minutes from first target*.
You see confusion flashing over his eyes "Y/N why aren't you wearing the armored suit?"
"I'm going to a party" you simply shrug. You are wearing cargo pants, long sleeve shirt, long trench coat, gloves and boots all charcoal, and the previous set of weapons, your swords concealed by the trench coat.
---
You kill the next two targets easily they don't give too much fight, the third one is a lieutenant, so you'll take your time interrogating him, luckily for you the idiot is on a strip club that you own. You drive through the private entrance and park the motorcycle.
The 'owner' greets you he is a big man thick long beard and scary looking rocker, well scary for the others, for you? a business partner and one of the best "Captain is a honor to have you here, you came to see the Hydra lieutenant, yes?" he says with a smirk.
You nod at him "Do me a favor, ask one of the girls to take him to the private chambers, I'll leave no trace" you request as you shake his hand in greeting.
"Right away captain, do you wish I send you company?" You shake your head in negative.
---
You are hiding in a dark corner of the room, one of the dancers drag the sergeant in and closes the door, in a seductive way she makes him sit in a chair and clasp the metal shackles, she starts to undo his dress shirt and blindfolds him with his tie. She walks a little back, and you silently make your way behind him to harshly gag him. When he panics you take off the tie he franticly looks around him. Trying to spot the threat. You walk around to block the sight of the dancer, your back turn on him.
"Thank you darling" you extend a wad of cash "For your discretion, chill out a little while I work here. I'll let you know when you can head back to the bar" she takes the wad and leans up to leave a kiss in your jaw "a pleasure cap" she swiftly leaves the room.
*Erase all the footage, he was never here* you request F.R.I.D.A.Y through the comm.
"Sarge I've killed nine out of ten and, you are the last one". You take a cigarette and lit it to take a puff "If you want Yuri-" your laughter interrupts him "you'll have to give me something else, the others burnt out that card", he grinds his jaw "I told him we should have put a bullet in your head while we could, you fucking traitor".
"Sergeant I was never Hydra, they never trust me fully, that's why I'm captain and not general" you scuff blowing smoke at him.
The man grinds his jaw and tries another tactic "You are a fucking monster Ice Wolf, Hydra used you like a guard dog, hunting dog, attack dog. Not even the Scarlet Witch can sooth your scarred mind".
You fake being wounded before smirking wickedly "I just took advantage of their resources, teachings and gifts. I might be a monster, but I'm no longer a Hydra puppet. Tell me, who is with Yuri?".
"You will kill your master? That's classic Ice Wolf" he scuffs.
That does the trick, you connect a swift combo of punches bruising badly his ribs "say that again" he laughs drily "Does your new master knows that you are going to kill your former one?" the next punch turn his head violently to the right and split his lip, he only smirks before he spits at you "Wrong choice of actions sarge" after taking off your left glove you use him as punching bag.
He is left wincing and barely conscious, you clasp his neck in your gloved right hand, "Any last words?", he lets out a pained gargle laugh "He is waiting for you to show up, after he kills you for good this time he is going for your beloved twins" you snicker a little "This time they have no chance against me" with a swift move you break his neck.

[21:35]
You were tempted to go for Yuri’s sorry ass, so fucking tempted but that’s not the target tonight. Of course, the Hawkeye saw you searching for the Hydra handler location his name an picture displaying on the top left corner of your screen, even when you had the location you backed down you won’t take the chance of revenge from the others this is personal for quite the number.
After closing the window ending the search you went back to the original mission retrieve the assholes you went sent to retrieve. With a huff you put the laptop aside and move towards the back to sit in the floor.
Sited on the floor legs stretched out, back against the wall. Orion is draped over you, a new vodka bottle in your hand.
"Y/N you are creeping me out, you've been staring at the wall for half an hour" Clint calls from his pilot seat, his face reflected on the windshield as he glances at you.
"I brought you to pilot the quinjet, not to analyze and react to my behavior"
"What is Yuri to you?" this time you don't answer and take another gulp of the liquor bottle in your hand, the wolf whines softly, you simply pet him. After some uncomfortable silence you give him a simply answer “He was my trainer and handler, my unit was under his command” Clint just frowns and nods.
“Clint suit up you are coming with me” you say as you get up and walk to the copilot seat “And leave the pup on the crate”.
“Aye aye Captain fun boomer”.
“Let’s see how fun is having a pup in your vest with bullets coming at it” you retort.
---
*Ready on location Wolf* Barton calls through the comms his bow and arrow ready as he stands in the lowered ramp of the quinjet that silently hovers over the four-story building you are about to storm, the holographic stealth tech keeps him out of sight even more after you hacked the only surveilling radar leaving it on a loop.
“You ready Orion?” you whisper slowly as you crunch low behind a car near the back entrance.
(“Let’s do this!”) he exclaims.
When the guards walk out fidgeting with a pack of cigs, Orion and you jump into action, the wolf chokes one of the guards with a single bite and rolls over to avoid a big thud. You also choke the other guard and lower him. Two guards down to piles of dust.
You don’t need to give him instructions the wolf and you are a deadly synced unit, he keeps your six covered as you slip through the halls. It should be crime to enjoy how the guards flinch or even stumble when they catch a glimpse of who is making its way through the base and that makes your instincts scream in alert, way too easy, Orion picks this too. And still you take the guards bare handed, Orion simply jumps over their fallen bodies.
*Ma’am there’s an interference coming from outside*
*What do you mean outside?* there’s cracking in your comms and the platform dies leaving you to your own eyes and ears, you hear the sound of fighting and bodies falling to the floor heavily. Focusing further you catch the sight of insects crawling, bullet ants (For fucks sake).
(“Orion stay here”) you walk to the source of fighting, drawing out your guns you walk in to see guards being slammed, hauled and thrown like rag dolls, you see the targets trying to flee (“Orion bite their asses”) you hear the sound of Orion’s claws scratching the floor as he runs and knocks out the targets.
You get in the fight knocking the guards, you fight with strikes of your left arm and leg, there’s just one last and you get in the way of the Wasp blocking her kick with your right arm and grabbing the guard by the throat. Her kick makes your arm absorb a good amount of kinetic energy, the only tell is the glow on the exposed fingers.
The Wasp gets back in her size “What the hell you think you are doing Wolf?!” she almost sneers you ignore her and inspect the guard he is an elite operative *Dr. Pym could you please stop interrupting my channel with Stark’s A.I* you say out loud knowing well that the man has eyes and ears everywhere.
Scott gets back in size besides Hope and opens his helmet “I’m really, really sorry Wolf but these are our mission” he says politely pointing at the door where the targets tried to run. Retracting back your helmet you give him the sassiest look “Come on Scott” you sense the guard reaching for his knife and you tight your grip on his throat your fingertips digging on the sides of his neck “Don’t even think about it” you sneer at the man, and he still tries. Your right hand intercepts his knife as you thrust it to your ribcage, you simply let some of the energy turn his weapon to dust.
“Who is your commanding officer agent?” you ease the pressure “Sergeant Smith” he croaks out brokenly.
“Where do I find him?” the guard has the nerve to laugh drily “Seven months, you came for him and you don’t have Idea of who he is. You are getting soft Ice Wolf” she smirks at you.
“Is that so? And how do I know you were his brother?” you say staring blankly at him.
“Were? What-“ you right hand goes through his Kevlar vest and digs on his stomach, leaving him astonished for a few seconds before he starts screaming “Oh shut the hell up” you crush his windpipe before letting him fall to the ground as he winces in pain (“Orion?”).
“Thinking it over, you can keep them” Scott hurries to say, Hope just glares at him.
(“Smith is hiding in the corner”) you see Orion faking looking at somewhere else while his ears signal the actual place.
“Tell me Hope, how do you get a cockroach to flee its hiding spot when you can reach it?” she tilts her head in confusion. You simply raise your right hand pointing at a corner behind her “Smith five seconds or I blow you to hell” you begin to count but never make it to the five “Five, four, three-“
“Wait, wait, wait Wolf there’s no need-“ Scott tries to talk you down as you fire the blast that rushes past Hope and lands on the man hiding, you hear a scream and the man crawls out hand on his midriff.
Scott nervously laughs “You won’t kill him, right?” he asks as Orion jumps in pinning him to the ground, bullet ants surround the fallen man.
“Hey Smith, look forward” you call the man, when he does you gun is already pointed at the other head, you feel something biting your hand, it indeed feels like a bullet but that doesn’t stop you from firing a round to the head of his brother.
“YOU! FUCKING MONSTER! I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!” he tries to stand up, but Orion’s metal claw pushes his head on the floor claws grazing his head as he growls.
“How do you dare Wolf? He was on the ground!” Hope strolls to stand toe by toe with you, you just shrug her comment as the static in your comm dies and Clint’s voice takes over *Wolf I’m three seconds away from getting my ass down there!*.
*Stay put Hawkeye. I’m taking the targets*.
*You aren’t taking them Captain Wolf* Dr. Pym voice comes through the comms.
*Wolf who the hell patched our comms? Is that Scott?* you pinch the bridge of your nose with your left fingers a headache taking over.
“Feeling bad Wolf?” Smith asks between laughs “my brother didn’t die in vain, prepare yourself to relive. The worst enemy is at home” he says grunting at the pressure of the wolf’s claw on his head.
Gently you push Hope aside, calmly you take off your left glove and spot the bullet ant with its stinger still buried in the adductor pollicis muscle or as the acupuncturists call it ‘Hegu’ point, it fucking hurts like hell, it’s like a burning white dull needle trying to get through your hand, the involuntary trembling of your hand says it all, still the poor thing its not at fault you partially kneel before carefully taking the ant between your index and thumb right hand fingers, you see it squirm, maybe in freight but you won’t kill it “Hope I’d really appreciate is you tell it to let go, I don’t want to kill it” Hope relents and the ant pulls out the stinger, your arm flinches as you clench your jaw. Carefully you put the ant in the ground by your right side, away from your path.
Scott is looking at you with a wide expression of surprise he almost fangirls in place “Now that is the most badass shit I’ve ever seen. How you do it? That hurts”.
“A little familiar to you Ice Wolf? What was the 167 simulation? Hahaha I can’t remember. it was after the death by jellyfish that is” you snicker at the man words, you grab a stray pebble on the floor and fiddle with it before flickering it at him with your middle finger using a little of the kinetic energy left, the pebble smacks the center of his head it gets stuck in the skin knock him out.
“Simulation? What is he talking about Wolf?” Hope asks as she looks between you and the unconscious man” her demeanor no longer threatening, it never really was.
“Nothing of importance” you stand up and walk to the fallen man, the ants moving away from your path. Kneeling down you put his hands on his back and put him on shackles “Now we can do this the hard-bloody way or the friendly way”.
Scott raises his hand “I rather go for the friendly way”.
*Wolf you are not taking them. Hydra got a hold on a draft formula for my Pym particle* the doctor says through your comms, the ants close their distance around you.
*And how were you planning on getting the intel doc? If intel is what you want I can get it for you, but I’m taking these assholes to S.H.I.E.L.D’s custody* you Orion begins to growl at the ants closing in.
*I’m not letting my formula fall on the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D or Stark Wolf-*
*Agh! come on doc! get the fuck over it. The S.H.I.E.L.D Fury directs is not the same S.H.I.E.L.D you flipped off, and you should know by now that Tony is not Howard he is and entirely different person” you see hope shrugging and nodding at your words.
*Dad, we should give them the benefit of doubt* the ants begin to back off and so does Orion’s growling.
*Lowering the quinjet Wolf* Clint calls.
Standing up you grab the man by the back of his pants, Orion steps off him and stands in guard, you lift the man like a sack “You two come with me, this way you can be certain that we are not feeding you lies” (Orion go ahead and clear the way”) the wolf jumps over the sea of ants and runs out to make his way to the roof.
Hope and Scott put back their helmets and you do too “How many can you lift?” you ask as you walk to the hall were the other nine targets are lying on the floor.
“How many?” Scott asks in confusion as you crunch to put another two men in your shoulders, grab smith and take a last one on your left hand, four in total, you hear Scott whispering to Hope ‘She won’t be able to stand’ you smirk before effortlessly standing up ‘Aaand she did, what the hell?’ Lang muses lauder this time.
Hope just shakes his head “We take the others Wolf” you she other black and red ants appearing from different places and they lift the remaining five, you mutter a “Cheaters” before walking to the stairs, the way is cleared out by Orion, you hear some fight and hear bodies falling down in the staircase. When silence takes over, a heavy door is open (“Clear!”) Orion calls happily.
The three of you hurry to run up the stairs, when you cross the door the quinjet appear and Clint runs down the aircraft to keep guarding as you load them *Hawkeye clear the building while I secure the targets*, *Roger that* he hurries to the building, Orion takes over.
“Umm Wolf… by ‘clear’ you mean kill?” Scott enquires as he looks back at the building, you answer a simple ‘yes’ while you secure schackles on their wrists and ankles, Hope gives you a hand when those a settled you activate the magnetic pull securing them to the panel of the quinjet.
*Hawkeye report* you call as you check the airspace looking for a gap to takeoff.
*Clear. Going back up*.
---
*Eagle one. This is Task force three, targets secured flying back to the nest over* you call through the comms.
*Task Force three, report received. Route authorized*.
“Barton, we are behind schedule increase the speed” Clint just gives you a wide smirk before speeding up.
“Aww! There’s a puppy! Look Hope she is so cute” you hear Scott muse, Clint immediately looks back “Lang let the puppy alone! Orion bite his ass off”.
“No! you are piloting this thing I look over the pup” Scott calls as he hugs the puppy, the two men begin to argue as you rub your temples (Thank god, the targets are out. What a shame). You feel a hand on your left shoulder and you almost jerk in surprise.
“I didn’t take you for a spooky cat Wolf” Hope teases beside you “I’m not, I was distracted” she frowns at your words “Are you feeling good?” she looks at you worried, remembering Smith’s words.
“It’s just a headache, I’ve been having them once in a while” she doubts about pressing the matter she just looks at the over grown boys and tells them to shut up.
---
The quinjet lands on the hellicarrier hangar in time with the schedule alongside Morse and Barnes jets, when the ramps lower there’s already three units of elite guards ready to take the prisoners to custody. Hope and Scott move to the cockpit to avoid interfering as the guards haul up the group of men. In the corner of your right eye you see Clint and Scott trying to sneak the pup inside Clint’s jacket, sometimes you forget how much of a human disaster can Barton be and alongside Scott they are a lost cause.
An agent gets close “Ma’am the quinjets will be taken to the Avengers compound while you stay here. When the debrief ends you all will be taken back in a single quinjet” one of the guards inform “Director Fury and Deputy Director Hill are already waiting on the interrogation area”.
“Thank you, agent. Barton, Lang move your asses” You don’t need to tell anything to Hope who is already walking to the ramp alongside Orion, the wolf wastes no time trothing to greet Nebula that is already waiting.
“Romanoff, Barnes” you greet them “Wolf” both answer “Van Dyne you are a refreshing beautiful sight” Natasha begins to tease the raven-haired woman “Romanoff, looking hot as always”, she fires back “Barnes you look handsome in leather” she winks at him, making him blush a little. He clears his throat “You look really good in that suit Van Dyne, I bet you will look better when I walk you home” he says with his usual charm.
“Wolf! Who is the suited hottie with you?” Bobbi asks as she gets close, winking at Hope, the latter just smirks “Morse, Carter is good to see you” they smile at her, before Sharon calls out Clint on his bullshit “Barton zip down your jacket you will smoother the poor pup”.
“What pup Sharon? I see no pup, Lang you see a pup?” he asks feign innocence.
“I see two over grown pups” Scott says pointing at the wolves who lock him in a murderous scowl “Oh oh hey guys I was joking… Hope? Wolf?” he begins to get nervous as the wolves stroll close to him, he fits his helmet before shrinking down “Ha ha now you can’t see-“Orion and Nebula keep their glare following him.
All of you snort at his scape failure “Come on, we are wasting time” you order and all of you simply walk away as Scott tries to out run the wolves who simply walk passing over him as they follow along. You hear Scott growing back in size again “Seriously?”.
---
All of you make you way to the interrogation facilities, for your surprise Wanda and Vision are already waiting alongside Fury and Maria. As you walk close you see Wanda looking at you, searching for injuries if you didn’t know better no one will pick that little fact easily Wanda can be really nonchalant when she wants to.
“Wolf I see you brought unexpected guests to the hellicarrier” Fury says staring at the additions,
“To avoid unwanted confrontations sir, but it seems that our targets were already pissing off another group”.
“Agent Barton is that a puppy on your jacket?” Maria sternly asks looking at Clint who raises his hands in innocence “Wolf brought her to the jet, I’m just puppysitting”, you look at him with a quirked eyebrow, damned Clint he threw you under the bus, Maria and Nick turn to stare at you at the same time.
You clear your throat “She was hiding under my bike”.
“Enough little dog talk. Let’s talk business” Fury orders, everyone gets in game.
After the debrief about the mission with Hope’s and Scott’s insight on their findings all of you wait for Fury’s orders.
“I called agent Maximoff and Mr. Vision to make all this process faster” Nick says as he gives the agents behind a glass wall the signal to prepare an equipment “Now, this tech we are going to use allows miss them to use their telepathic powers giving us a full feedback of what they see” you quirk and eyebrow at the director, he knows how much you hate Wanda being used like that her powers and empathic making the whole ordeal draining for her “Don’t pull that face Wolf, this new version prevents them from feeling” you just nod.
The sight of the equipment and the holographic screens makes your skin crawl, way too familiar and not in a pleasant way, no time to coward like a little kid you push down the uneasiness to be ready to protect Wanda and Vision if needed. You manage to fool almost everyone except the wolves and Bucky who catch your discomfort; however, they keep silent.
In the room on the left are the S.H.I.E.L.D technicians, middle room Wanda and Vision with the men to be put under interrogation, the next room on the right divided by a glass wall there’s the rest of the prisoners, guarded by an elite guard team. Wanda and Vision enter the designated space, Smith and other man are already strapped to the tables, electrodes on their temples.
The sound feedback is on, the rest of you stand outside Nick and Maria are the first in line alongside dr. Pym, Bucky, the wolves and you flanking them third in line are the others.
Wanda and Vision work as team to leave no chance of deceit, the first in line is Smith who seems to be entertained by the whole setting, Wanda locks him on a stern look “I will advise you give us all the intel you have willingly, otherwise this ordeal will get harder on your end” Wanda methodically says before they begin working, Smith just smirks at her “I’m sure you will enjoy the intel you are about to see darling”. The screens begin to show what he has in mind.
But the images are not precisely what he was asked, or at least it doesn’t seem like it. He begins to show a bare room; the empty space is suddenly filled with agony screams… your screams as your kneeled body is shown being engulfed by bullet ants that sting everywhere.
The bastard made this new simulation giving you flesh limbs instead of the prosthetics, is a weak point in your favor, but no weak point will lack a foundation. You glance down at the flesh limbs, its so strange the sight of two flesh hands, when he shows up and the lights are turn on you see yourself being surrounded by bullet ants, fucking bullet ants. They don’t give you a warning, the ants simply go for you as you try to get up, but even when there’s no shackles visible they are keeping you kneeled.
Each sting feels like a piercing bullet, you can’t keep the screams at bay. You will your mind to stay in control (Is just a simulation, is just a simulation) you repeat like a mantra in your mind and yet it feels so real, each sting burns. You roll over on the floor trying to get rid of the tiny insects and yet more appear, and you contort in pain you hear a clattering, he dropped a gun.
Screaming in frustration an idea crosses your mind, when you are a hand away again you drop on the floor, you don’t see it but he smirks at the sight. When he gets close you move, you will your mind to play on your favor and grab the gun before the technicians can try anything you reel his head with bullets. Your relief is short lived when the pain increases, and you drop the gun, when you glance at the hands they are awfully swollen (Come on! Come on fucking mind! grab the gun) you manage to take back the gun as more ants bury their stingers you put the gun muzzle on your head and will a bullet to be fired.
You keep a blank face as you see the scenarios he is choosing to show, the only tell of you reacting is the slight clench of your jaw. The others behind you just look at you with concern, even Maria and Fury are briefly glancing back through the reflection of the glass.
Is no surprise when you see Wanda begin to falter as more scenarios are shown “What’s wrong Scarlet Witch? Not the intel you were expecting? There’s still plenty of this” he says between laughs, she tries to regain control but her angry aching heart is not really wanting to cooperate, she wants to kill this man. Vision notices the change first (“Wanda, please calm down we need to get the intel first”) he tries to coax the telepath to get back in task, but that’s not happening, he briefly glances at you.
The other just gulp and wince at the images, being Hope and Scott the ones that take off their eyes not really being able to keep watching. You walk around the three people in front of you “Open the door” you request the technicians doesn’t acknowledge your request.
“Wolf we need that intel” Fury says with a commanding tone.
“OPEN THE DAMN DOOR OR I’M BREAKING IT” you shout at the people in the control room.
“WOLF BACK DOWN!” Fury orders as Vision struggles against Wanda to keep her from killing the man who begins to scream “Wolf you better get in here now!” Vision shouts as he struggles.
You don’t wait any further and walk up to the sliding double door, the wolves move quickly to stand growling to keep at bay the others. When the door doesn’t slide open in their respective directions you trust your metal hand through the door and tear it open as Smith keeps screaming in agony, how tempted you are on letting Wanda get her way.
You hurry to engulf her in your arms and pulling her away, but the link remains (damn it) you have no other option but to put your body in between, it hurts a little, but Wanda immediately cuts the connection.
Cradling her head, you put your forehead in hers (“Wan, calm down. We need you back in game”) you project to her mind, you try to search her gaze of her eyes are tightly closed in anger, her fists tightly balled on each side of her body energy dancing wildly around.
(“Come on beautiful, talk to me”) you project towards her harder.
(“How could you refrain from killing him? I just want to tear him apart”) she angrily says in your head her voice is almost a growl (“I know Wan, but the mission comes first… it has always been like that. Just push through one more time”) you feel all her anger combining with yours, your liver is boiling with anger. Wanda was not meant to see that, that’s why you’ve been keeping the details of what you remember at bay.
The other just stand outside, not really sure about what’s going on in the telepathic conversation you are having. Vision seems to read the situation better and takes away the electrodes and unclasp the straps, keeping the man pressed to the table with his hand. Fury and Maria just let the ordeal develop, this was between their considerations.
(“Wanda focus on the task please, I’ll buy you some time to focus”) you break the touch of your foreheads, your only regret is not leaving a kiss on her forehead, but there’s an act to be performed.
You hear the man beginning to laugh painfully “Come on Fury! You lose control of your assets that easily? in Hydra this never happens” he says between laughs.
You turn around and walk to stand by his right side, Vision simply phases through him to stand in the other side leaving him gasping at the odd sensation. “Is Hydra way what you want Smith?” you say with a cold threaten tone.
“You won’t dare Ice Wolf. Will you reveal the monster to them?” he says with a breathless laugh, you chuckle drily at him there’s no friendly trace in the chuckle you will enjoy this. You see his eyes widening at the void look that takes over your features, no more Wolf time to be the Ice Wolf everyone wants so badly to be.
Grabbing him by the front of his clothes you lift him off the table, Wanda immediately puts up a deep scarlet barrier the only ones that phase through are Orion and Nebula who stroll in with a darkened demeanor, they too are ready to play. You lift the man off the ground he trashes wildly landing several kicks and punches that you don’t even feel, he is a normal person his punches feel like ball impacts at best.
“What’s wrong? Your wishes were granted don’t bitch about it” you walk a few paces, grabbing the top of his head to prevent an injury as you slam him in the metal wall leaving a dent and winding him out. Your voice takes a growl tone when you speak to him “Now listen to me very carefully you Hydra scum. When those electrodes are fixed back in your temples you will show the intel we want”.
“O-or what you will shoot me in the head? Go ahead” he says as he laughs but all you see is the fear on his eyes.
“I can do better than that” you briefly lat him go when his body tries to fall down you push him back against the wall thrusting your metal finger tips on the mouth of his stomach. He doesn’t even make a sound he just gulps like a fish out of water, you flash him a wicked smile that only he and the other prisoners can see “I can tear you apart while my wolves gnaw your bones and still keep you alive to pry away that intel from your head” he tries to scream either in terror or in pain but he just mages to heave. When you press further your fingertips his skin almost gives up “S-STOP!” he chokes.
You laugh at him “Is all you can take, and you call yourself Hydra? Pathetic” you sneer at him “It took you months and mind games to make me scream. There’s no doubt Hydra is losing its touch”.
“Not all of us were treated worse than animals” he sneers back, “Just like they say ‘what don’t kill you makes you stronger’ or in my case I was brought back just too much times to even care again” you shift your metal hand to clasp it on his neck and dive your need on his lower abdomen, this time he bites back his scream but little tears moisture his eyes.
Lifting him up again you turn around to smash him in the floor, this time Wanda keeps his head ‘safe’ just letting it get hit hard enough to make him dizzy, you keep him down with your metal hand fixed on his neck and your knee rests against the sore spot your hit before. Vision puts back the electrodes, when you look up Wanda is partially kneeled and back in game again. They get back to work and the feedback begins again. He tries his bullshit again showing you being reeled by bullets “Don’t push your luck” you sneer at him, you look up at Wanda and nod at her there’s no better distractor to the mind than pain.
The metal palm goes to the spot on his stomach you shake lightly the arm making the rest of the kinetic energy travel to hand beginning to burn as the repulsor collects energy. Orion shuts him up putting his large paw on over his mouth.
Wanda indeed pries away the intel. They old prototype plans were stolen from Cross way before he nailed the yellowjacket. Experimentation is indeed being held on secret labs, even though Hydra hasn’t been able to nail the Pym particle they have found a way around using it to enhance the other experiments and the months of torture you endure they use them to have free access to samples of your blood and DNA. The last part is the only surprise Yuri in no longer working for the Hydra general in charge of the Russian operations, he is most likely the boss of his own ‘Branch’ and he is the one supervising the experiments, Smith was an infiltrated in Raft supposedly former Hydra under a government agency, at first chance he got he sold you out using his brother as contact 200,000 USD for your head and reinstallation in Hydra.
When the retrieving of intel ends, his eyes rollback as he is knocked out. You begin to laugh in amusement ‘200,000 USD’ your head had a bigger price when S.H.I.E.L.D alone was hunting you. anger takes over and you hit him in the face with a left hook, when the right fist is coming down Vision stops your fist with his left forearm a loud thud resonates in the silent space “Wolf he is not worth the trouble for killing him. You know the accords” you struggle trying to still bring down your fist, Vision simply puts his open right hand on your chest as he stands up he gently but firmly pushes you back. Wanda takes off the barrier and a medical team surrounds the prisoner the wolves back off and growl at the men strapped on the second table making him gulp.
Vision keeps his gentle grip until you sigh in defeat, he takes off his hands raising them in surrender. You turn to the other prisoners “Anyone wishes to piss me off?” you sneer at them, the group just pales and they shake their heads you walk close to the strapped man, you don’t even have to say anything when you briefly stop she pales even more “I-I there’s no need Ic- Captain I will show them all I know” he stammers you only give him a stern “You better” as you walk to the broken door where Wanda stands by your right, you stop close to her and out your hand on her left ribs and look in her light red eyes (“Can you go on?”) you ask softly.
(“Seems like it would be even easier”) she says with slight amusement, her right hand grabs your left (“I’ll make this quick, so we can get the hell out of here)” you see the concern in her eyes. (“Don’t hurry for me Wan, be careful”) you shift your hand to grab her fingers and put a kiss in the back of her hand, letting her hand go you walk out the room with the wolves in tow, you only glance at the commanding officers Maria gives you a slight nod and you make your way out ordering the wolves to keep Wanda safe.
Hope sees you walking off, she looks at the others that simply shake their heads in negative they know better that following you even Scott gives her the look of ‘don’t even think about it’ and she brushes it aside to follow you.
While the medical team works you make your way to the designated room in the hellicarrier, luckily for you there’s a flask with Asgardian liquor waiting begin a push-off panel. You hear a set of boots following you and you don’t give a damn.
The agents around notice the somber demeanor your carry and they simply nod at you in greeting and part ways to let you go faster to where ever you are heading to. Sooner than later you are in the small quarter, you make your way to the small closet and push the metal plate gently, the door swings open revealing the small stash of liquor and cigarettes. The door is never opened behind you, but you hear Hope’s suit wings fluttering close.
You grab one of the flasks and a pack of black cigs and a spare lighter. Turning around you lean against the metal panel and slide down slowly leaving your legs stretched on the front, taking your time you light a cigarette taking a slow drag as you close your eyes savoring the heavy tobacco flavor “Hope if your intention is being stealth you are failing” you say almost with a hint of humor, she doesn’t answer right away and you hear her getting back on her size.
“I thought you were running away to cry, instead you ran away to drink and smoke” she says trying to break the awkwardness, her boldness amuses you in a good way.
“You are not that lucky Van Dyne. Why did you follow me?” you take a gulp of the liquor, instantly the warm sensation on your stomach begins to ease the tension of your body
“I don’t know, maybe I wanted to make sure you were fine” she says with a shrug as she kneels by your right “How could you do that? Just remain centered on the task”
“The mission always comes first” you say taking another drag, you know what she is asking but Smith is a mere minor piece, years of holding back revenge upon Yuri for the greater good have given you a lot of practice but details are unnecessary.
She narrows her gaze but refrains from commenting, she knows she is already pushing her luck. You offer a cigarette which she declines, you try the liquor flask but she scrunches her nose at the smell “That liquor smells like shot of alcoholic poison” she comments with a shake of her head, you simply smirk and take another gulp “Asgardian liquor is indeed poison for a normal person no offence”, “None taken” she says with a chuckle.
A more comfortable silence takes over, you feel a call from the wolves at the same time Hope enquires “Are you going back?” she says as she stands up and extends her hand at you “Are you taking me for a dance?” you tease as you accept her help, you hold onto her a little more than necessary tasting her strength she jiggles at your obvious intention “What do you think captain, am I fit to be an Avenger?” she says teasingly with a big smirk.
“Darling you are well fitted to be an Avenger and with a great shape may I add” you wink at her making her blush, before walking out you store the flask, lighter and cig package on your jacket.

After Vision and Wanda retrieved the intel the second debrief was even more headache worthy. Sorting out connections and key intel was a drag, at least this time the banter between Scott and Clint made it more bearable and even more when the pup decided that Clint’s jacket was a good place to poop, which draw a small smirk from the commanding officers, while the rest of you just laughed at his ‘disgrace’.
By the end everyone has a headache, if something the deeper scowl on Fury’s face and Maria’s says it all.
“Sir, if Yuri is already directing his own branch of Hydra enhanced I suggest we blow the lab first” Natasha says glancing briefly at you “Any chance you can pin point a possible location Wolf, Wanda?”.
Wanda’s right hand is in yours as you both fiddle with your fingers, your right elbow resting on the armchair as your chin rests on your palm “Sokovia is not for sure, I would know by now” you glance at Wanda who is nibbling her left thumb finger nail “When Pietro and I dig for intel, we encounter a lot of Hydra in the north… there were rumors about people with powers, they were more whispers than anything and something about a Ghost helping them” she sneakily glances at Hope and Scott. Hope success in looking nonchalant while Scott fails Fury and Maria quickly catch the clue and both lock him on stern gazes making him get nervous.
“I-I…I don’t know anything about a Ghost girl” his eyes shut tightly after the last word “Assuming she is a girl, she could be a he” he tries to make up for the mistake, but the commanding officers stern unblinking stare make him more uncomfortable “OK, I might now someone-“ Hope your smacks her palm on the side of her head looking at him with a look sassy enough to rival Pietro’s.
“Let me translate your nonsense Scott” You say biting back a smirk “There’s indeed a woman that both of you know called Ghost, Ava Starr”.
Hope glares at you but Fury supplies a little more intel “Miss Van Dyne no need in trying to glare Wolf to death. We know about Ava”.
“Of course, you know you use her as a weapon!” she says angrily at the Colonel.
Maria only shakes her head “That’s where you are wrong Miss Van Dyne. We, this S.H.I.E.L.D never used her as a weapon, Hydra under the disguise of S.H.I.E.L.D used her being the now deceased Secretary Pierce her commanding officer”.
“And you want us to believe that?” Hope says quirking an eyebrow.
“You better doll. I was in the same position as Ava, Pierce was my handler after Hydra leaked in S.H.I.E.L.D. When Wolf and the twins went sent to dig intel around the globe I was transferred to Washington under Pierce command”.
“Why you never helped her?” Scott asks looking between you, Bucky and Wanda.
Wanda answers this time “There’s a reason why she is The Ghost Scott. We did not knew about her, it was after S.H.I.E.L.D’s fall, by the time we try to look for her she was long gone. But she is being active, if you can contact her just keep her safe Yuri won’t hesitate to take control over her” Wanda says firmly as she tightens her hold on your hand which you return.
“Jesus, that’s intense” Scott says glancing around.
“Try fighting two super soldiers being controlled Lang, that’s intense” Bobbi says with a frown before winking at Bucky and you.
“Come on Bob don’t be bitter doll, you did great against us” Bucky says with a smirk, but Natasha is killing her with a glare.
---
The Avenger’s quinjet lands in the tower with all the gang plus the two invited. Wanda and you walk down hand in hand and the left puppy now cradled on your right hand close to your body after Clint claimed he needed a break from puppysitting.
“Hope, Scott do you wish to stay, or you prefer a ride to San Francisco?” you hear Natasha ask them as Wanda and you exit the hangar, both of you are bothered by the first happenings of the intel retrieval. The wolves are by Scott side enjoying the belly and ear rubs, he indeed has a good way to earning their approval.
Both of you get into the loft quickly, upon entering you encounter Pietro teasing Anika about a crush. It doesn’t take him long to pick the dark demeanor you both have lingering, the kid does too and she hurries to give you both a hug and snatch the tiny puppy “She is so cute, are we keeping her?” she asks with her own puppy eyes look “We will see, Clint wants her too” you say with a tight smile.
“We could take care of her together, we live in the tower” she says with a shrug before looking closely at both of you “You know what, fuck this go and kick the crap of each other in the training room you are both leaking tension… I hope it’s not sexual tension” she adds with a smirk.
“Anika! Come on kid!” Pietro groans loudly “It’s my twin and my sister you are talking about”.
“Come on speedster is not like you don’t know what they do together” she deadpans with a shrug. Both of you just shake your heads in amusement as you go to your shared room for a change of clothes.
---
After a quick change to training clothes, both go to the old training area where you usually cool off “F.R.I.D.A.Y is the energy barrier ready?” you ask while you two wrap your hands and put on gloves.
*It is ma’am. I will advise not going overboard with the strength behind the blasts though*
Wanda just smirks “Thank you F.R.I.D.A.Y could you please block the entrance, we don’t want to take chances”.
*Of course miss Wanda, I wish you both a good training*.
“Ok, little witch show me what you got” you say teasingly with flirt undertones as you motion her to ger close with your hand left hand as you put the mouthguard, she just smirks “You will regret this cap” she says with a broad smile before she puts on her mouthguard.
Wanda is the first to move getting close with a combo of jabs and hooks which you elude with a swift hip work, and counterattack with your own combo. Neither of you hold back, Wanda landing fairly strong blows that doesn’t do much damage to your super soldier body, while Wanda diverts the power behind your strikes with her powers.
Even when the first ten minutes are an impressive show off of skill both begin to get in sync and bodies warm up, leading to a heavier game. Wanda begins to use blasts of her powers which you side step or absorb with your prosthetics firing them back at her.
The heavier the sparring becomes the more anger both of you burn off. As you elude her blasts doing several black flips you notice that her aim gets sloppy, when you land in a low crunch you lift your head to one of the worst things you can see, Wanda’s eyes are red as tears waver on her eyes she angrily wipes her off and gets in guard.
You stand up slowly and make your way to her “Y/N don’t you dare get back in game” she hisses as energy gathers on her hands, you pay no mind and close the distance she gets ready to fire and you pull her towards you by her biceps a little harshly, just enough to make her loose the hold of the energy, both of you are panting heavily due to the heavy physical activity. When her tears fall after she shuts her eyes close you take the chance to wrap her in your arms.
Some tears scape or eyes silently, how much you wish you could cry as freely as Wanda does but you can’t, your sadness has always been silent and steady. Her body trembles as she cries when you sense her legs giving up you lift her, and she wraps her legs around your hips as she hides her face on your collar neck feeling your still rapid heartbeat.
“Hey baby no need to hold it back” you whisper to her as you caress her head with your left gloved hand as you right arm keeps her secured under the back of her tights.
She leans back a little to stare down at you “Little one you grew up a few inches” you tease her as you look up to her, she snorts at your comment “And you are shrinking puppy” a light jiggle cuts her sobs a little, “I bet you will hunt Scott’s ass to make me tall again” you fire back with a teary smirk “Naaah I rather hunt Hope’s ass is a better view”.
You gasp in surprise “Wanda Maximoff are you a butt pal?” you ask her, tilting your head in disbelief “I thought your kink was muscles baby” you add flexing your left arm, the tight tank top leaves no space for imagination, you could easily put to shame half of the avengers men.
“Technically speaking the gluteus is a muscle” she says quirking an eyebrow, suddenly you let her fall to catch her by her butt cheeks making her shriek “Y/N!” in surprise, you just flash her a dirty smirk “Darling you have a pair of amazing gluteus muscles” you tease looking down at her.
“You are a jerk!” she says with a nervous laugh, her now ease features get serious again making you worry you did something wrong “Wan?” you give her your undivided attention, Wanda gives you a small smile before she pull you down by your cheeks to kiss you and you eagerly reciprocate her actions.
One thing you should never forget Wanda is trouble, she waits until you begin to make your way down her neck, when she pushes you back with a light blast of her powers, sending you several feet back to the floor.
You don’t register the pain of the fall you just laugh wholeheartedly at her strategy, suddenly you hear rapid patting and she settles over your chest with a upper mount “Never let your guard down cap” she teases leaning down to brush her lips over yours her face making a curtain by each side of your faces, you quickly lift up to nibble her lower lip as your roll over, now she is trapped under you but you keep your weight off her to stare down at the green eyed woman, her long hair sprawled on the matt “You were saying darling?” you smirk at her.
“You are so on Wolf” she says seriously, before she quickly squirms under your body by your left, she you tries to go after her, she pushes you back with a double kick on your left side making you roll to the right “You are in deep trouble Maximoff!”.
You both get in a second round? Third round? Who knows you just keep sparring, getting serious at times, other just goofing around as you give her a show of Capoeira pissing her off when she can’t land a single blast on you.
---
“F.R.I.D.A.Y?” Hope asks a little unsure is quite strange the whole an A.I is keeping tabs on you but don’t worry everything she sees and hears is confidential and private.
*Yes miss Van Dyne?* the A.I politely answers.
“Could you tell me where is Wolf and Wanda?” she asks as she walks through the halls of the tower to the elevator, the mechanism goes up several floor until it stops, when the doors open Natasha walks in dressed to train when she steps in she hears the A.I answering *My apologies miss Van Dyne, captain Wolf and miss Wanda wish to be alone*.
“Do you need something Hope?” the redhead asks while F.R.I.D.A.Y takes the two women to the training level.
“Not really, I just wanted to check on them” she says with a shrug, Natasha only smirks at her “Believe or not they are fine, you don’t need to babysit them”.
“That’s not what I was-“both duck down fast enough to avoid and incoming Anika that crashes on the lift metal panel behind the two women. Anika’s large archangel wings sprawl all over the elevator as she grunts “You fucking fossils! That’s not fair!” she growls as she struggles to accommodate her wings.
“Oh? Hey, I’m sorry I didn’t see you two” she says when her wings are finally folded behind her “Romanoff who is this hottie?” Anika asks flashing Hope a flirty smile.
“Come on kid don’t start your bullshit this is-“
“Hope Van Dyne” the raven-haired woman introduces herself “Aren’t you a little young to flirt with older women?” she asks with a stern look.
“Seriously? You will play hard and stern like Hill? She fires back.
“Where are your parents kid?” Hope asks looking around.
“In the next level kicking the crap out of each other or making out on the matt, whatever strikes their fancy” She says with a shrug.
Hope just tilts her head in confusion, Anika laughs at her confusion “Wanda Maximoff and Wolf? Scarlet Witch and Wolf if you are here you surely know them Wasp” Anika says quickly before she vanishes when Steve and Bucky turned around. Natasha has no chance to warm them before Anika shows up grabbing them, Steve by the neck with her arms and Bucky with her legs, she uses her wings to spin quickly hurling them to the floor “TAKE THAT FOSSILS! That’s for punching a kid!”.
“What the?” Hope muses out loud as Natasha hollers a ‘Good job kid!’ with a laugh.
“Wanna spar some?” Natasha asks as she walks to the mats were Steve and Bucky are glaring up at the kid.
“Sure” Hope asks with a wide smirk. This will get fun.

“Badass Babe”
Request: Can I request something where Bucky meets the reader at a bar? She's a total metal head and biker which surprises him cause she's very petite. After a few weeks be brings her to the tower to meet the team. He shows her around and she's psyched to see the gym. Nats there and offers to spar and surprises them all when she takes down Nat in front of the team. Earning her a spot on the team as well. Bucky is thrilled to have such a teeny but badass girlfriend - @purplekitten30
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader
Word Count: 1143
Warnings: badasses and bikers, shots and shots of Whiskey
A/N: I totally listened to all my metallica albums while writing this. this was fun. thanks for the request! my taglist is open!
This was a new experience for Bucky. A biker bar. Back in the 40’s he only went to dancing clubs and bars filled with war vets and currently serving soldiers. Sam told him he needed life experience, but this isn’t what he had in mind.
He left for the bar by himself. He found it on one of his nightly walks. As he walked in, he heard to music of Metallica, ACDC, and Motley Crue. These were the first bands he had listened to when Tony moved everyone back into the tower. He had stumbled upon Tony’s record collection and of course they were all rock and roll.
The bar was filled with giant tattooed men. They could rival the strength of Steve and Bucky. Buck didn’t feel out of place with his arm. Everyone in the bar either had both arms completely covered or they were working on it. He didn’t stand out in the crowd, in fact, the crowd seemed to welcome him in. They treated him like he was one of their own, even though he had just walked through the door.
Bucky made his way to the bar. He knew he couldn’t get drunk, but he wanted the strongest thing they had. What surprised him was the bartender. She was small. Maybe a foot smaller than him. She could get lost in the sea of gigantic men in the bar, but she practically ran the place. She was high-fiving the men she knew and was throwing out song requests while pouring shots of whiskey and tequila.
She didn’t look like she belonged there, but she did. Bucky sat down on one of the worn-down leather stools lined across the bar. He waited for the mysterious woman to make her way to him. He surveyed his surroundings again. The bar was packed to the brim. He normally never liked crowded places, but he felt comfortable here. His thoughts were disrupted by a sweet voice,
“What can I get ya, Sugar?” he turned back around quickly to see that she had made her way to him. He didn’t really have a specific drink in mind so he just told her, “gimme the strongest thing ya got.”
He poured back shot after shot of Fireball with “King Nothing” playing in the background. Everyone at the bar was cheering him on. They had never seen a tolerance so high, but little did they know. They were all chanting, “James! James! James!” the cute bartender was mesmerized. She had emptied out and entire bottle for him.
Bikers were coming through and patting him on the back and giving him high-fives. Yeah, he definitely liked this place, but it was almost six in the morning and Steve would be worried if he didn’t get back soon. Before he left, he took one last shot of liquid courage and jumped over the bar.
“Hey, Sweetheart, I was wondering if you’d let me mix you a drink sometime?” he said confidently with a smirk. She was taken aback, but gave him a shy nod of a “yes.”
“Alright, see ya soon, babe.” He put on his classic murder strut and walked himself out of the bar. This was the best walk ever.
He had been going back to the bar every night since then. He had built a steady relationship with the bartender her learned to be names Y/N. He wanted to bring her over to the tower. He had a feeling everyone would be shocked but excited to know her. She was a pretty cool chick. She could name every song by most metal bands, she fixed up motorcycles in her free time, but she also volunteered training pitbulls when she wasn’t at the bar. She was mesmerizing, amazing, and anything Bucky could have dreamed of. They didn’t have dames like this in the forties and he realized how much he was missing out.
She had agreed to come to the tower after her shift. This time she finished at noon and everyone in the towering would be in the training room. Bucky knew of a little talent she had, and it was the perfect time to showcase it.
Bucky walked her through the maze that was Avengers Tower. They arrived at the training room. They could her guns firing, grunting coming from the sparring, and the clank of the weights. Y/N composed herself and pushed the doors open. Bucky followed behind her. Everything stopped when she walked in. Her tattoos were on full display and her jet-black hair was pulled tightly into a ponytail. Bucky had arranged her to fight with Natasha. No one knew of her until today. She was going to surprise them all.
“Everyone, this is my girlfriend, Y/N. This is who is going to be fighting Natasha.”
Everyone was stunned. Yeah, Natasha was small, but you were smaller. Your head only came up to her collar bones. Natasha let out a boisterous laugh.
“This, this is the girl you want me to fight? I’m going to break her!” Nat bellowed out through the training room. She was getting a little made now.
“Sweetheart, you have no idea what I can do. You might’ve been trained in Russia, but I was trained by bikers. Trust me, they’re scarier.” She walked her way over to the ring. Her hands were wrapped and ready to go. Nat had a smug smile on her face as she confidently strutted her way up and through the ropes.
Bucky gave Y/N a wink before the fighting started. Tony sounded the bell and the matched commenced. Both woman circled each other, scouting out the way each body moved. Natasha was graceful, Y/n’s movements were hard and powerful.
Nat made the first move. She went to punch Y/N, but she easily dodged it and gave Nat a kick to the back of her knee. Gasps were heard throughout the room. Someone had gotten a hit to the infamous Black Widow.
Natasha slowly brought herself up and launched her legs around Y/N`s neck, but she was able to get her arms up. She threw Nat off with a slight shove and she was on the ground again. Steve watched in awe and Tony’s jaw was basically hitting the ground. Sam and Clint both had smirks on their faces. Wanda and Thor were surprised at Y/N’s strength. Even Vision had a tough time believing what he was seeing.
Y/N took her chance and gave Natasha a punch to the gut, and got on top of her. She pinned Nat’s arms down and trapped her between her thighs. Nat had conceded.
“I stand corrected.” Nat gave her a handshake and walked out of the training room.
Everyone was cheering and out of the shadows walked one Nick Fury.
“You impressed me kid. Tell me, how would you like to become an Avenger?”

Avengers only better
Ali redoes the MCU because LOKI IS NOT A VILLAIN for FUCKS sake
In a top secret SHIELD facility Hill and Fury talk with Dr. Foster about the Tesseract. Up in some secluded corner Clint Barton munches on trail mix. When Hill tries to talk to him he doesn’t respond, rolling her eyes she taps on his shoulder and signs at him. He blinks, signs back and turns on his hearing aids. She asks him what his take on all this is. He makes a comment about the Tesseract being a doorway.
A minute later the Tesseract begins to react, Dr. Foster begins shouting orders and people run around all crazy. A portal opens and from a dark barren wasteland steps Loki of Asgard, holding a glowing scepter. Unusually his eyes glow blue, he looks like like he’s a few steps away from a shallow grave and his breathing is labored. He introduces himself as Loki, Jane recognizes the name and says that Thor’s their friend. Loki’s face twists with complex emotion before he makes a disparaging joke at Thor’s expense. He then attacks, Agents drop left and right, bullets just bounce of a glimmering blue shield. Loki taps Dr. Foster and Clint and makes them his mind slaves. Hill and Fury just barely manage to escape.
Natasha is on assignment in Russia, reverse interrogating some mobsters when Coulson calls to tell her that Barton’s been compromised. She smashes her way out and gets the details. Upon hearing she’s set up to retrieve Dr. Banner she freezes. Coulson shows up at Stark Tower to ‘ask’ for Tony’s help. Again he seems to know more about it than they do, Coulson rolls his eyes and shares a conspiratory glance with Pepper. Natasha finds Dr. Banner in a village in Brazil, they have a tense conversation and Dr. Banner agrees to come with her to help retrieve Loki and the Tesseract. Nick finds Steve in a boxing gym, taking out his aggression on a bag.
In his secret hide out Loki looks really bad, leaning on the staff and sweating a lot. Clint eyes him warily as Dr. Foster does Genius Stuff with the Tesseract. Clint comments on Loki’s health, Loki barely registers the comment, getting pulled into an inter-dimensional conversation with the Other who reminds him what will happen if he fails their Master. Loki pulls himself up, a glamour falling over him to make him appear healthier than he is. In Germany he breaks into a museum, he creates quite a spectacle, a full performance really complete with costumes and speeches.
Steve arrives in full Captain America getup, self-righteousness and aggression coming off of him in waves. Loki grins, hand clenching on the scepter. The fight is interrupted by the arrival of Ironman, complete with music. Natasha rolls her eyes, amused in spite of herself. On the plane after they’ve taken Loki a thunderstorm appears out of nowhere. Loki tenses, hands clenching in his lap and Steve makes a comment on it. Loki barely looks at him, jaw clenched too tightly to speak. Thor arrives and steals Loki, the two have A Very Aggressive Talk where Loki appears to be baiting him. Ironman and Cap arrive and a skirmish ensues that Loki makes no attempt to flee from.
Later on the Hellicarrier they have a meeting, Natasha comments on the fact that no one has actually died, only been injured. Thor expresses his deep concern for Loki’s wellbeing, when Steve is derisive about this Thor says that Loki is not himself, his eyes should not be blue, and that Loki would never attack Midgard, since he alone among the Asgardians has ever expressed care for the lower realm. He says it was a favorite of Loki’s late wife. Fury wants to know why then Loki would be attacking them, and what he could be planning. Thor doesn’t know, but he does know that if Loki had wanted to beat them or escape he easily could have. When they express surprise Thor explains that Loki is the most powerful sorcerer in the Nine Realms, with doors in and out of everywhere. The only one capable of beating him that Thor knows of is their Father.
Natasha is sent in to question Loki while Tony and Steve argue and Bruce deduces the true motivation of SHIELD. Natasha figures out that Bruce is the real target here, to get the Hulk to destroy them. She also figures out, through the strategic mention of his late wife, that Loki is being manipulated. When he went ‘off script’ there was some sort of psychic whiplash and his eyes went from green to blue rapidly. Just then the Helicarrier is attacked by Barton. The Hulk comes out and Ironman and Cap work to keep it from crashing as Natasha manages to subdue Clint. Phil keeps Loki from escaping only to be stabbed on accident after Loki goes into a psychic episode. Loki collapses beside Phil as Nick and Hill arrive.
Phil ‘dies’ and Loki’s glamour vanishes. The Hulk gets yeeted off the Helicarrier and Thor watches over the incredibly malnourished and scarred prone form of Loki. When Loki awakens he appears to not know where he is, thinking he’s back in ‘that place’ with the Other. Loki tells them that the Chitauri are coming through the portal opened by Dr. Foster and the Tesseract. Loki is barely coherent and keeps passing out.
The team are too late to prevent the Chitauri from coming through the portal which opens above New York. A battle ensues, the Other arrives and faces Tony who banters like a champion. Loki vanishes under Hill’s watchful eye and appears behind the Other while Tony is battling him. Loki stabs the Other in the back, panting over his body as the battle dies down. Just then Fury tells them a nuke is headed for the city, Tony flies it through the closing wormhole and Foster and Natasha work to close it. Tony falls back through just as it closes and it scared back to life by Bruce.
In the after credit scene the team goes out for schwarma.
In the second after credit scene Loki recuperates in Asgard under Frigg’s watchful eye while Odin stands blank faced nearby.

Yekaterina Orlova
Summary: The Black Widow Ops has started up again and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Natasha Romanoff, is tasked with taking down the program and retrieving the girls.
Featuring: Natasha Romanoff, Nick Fury, Clint Barton
A/N: Imagine all interactions at the Black Widow compound is in Russian
Translations:
Odin! Dva! Tri! : One! Two! Three!
Ostanovites : Stop
Prodolzhit : Proceed
Da : Yes
Sestra : Sister
“Romanoff. I’ve got an assignment for you.” Fury said, entering the conference room and placing a file on the table.
“What is it?” Natasha asked, picking up the file.
“We’ve received intel that the Black Widow program was brought back up again in Russia,” Fury said bluntly. “Only a few girls have been adopted to the program instead of 28 to attempt to keep it discreet. You’re mission is to end the program, steal all files of the program and retrieve the girls.” Fury examined Natasha for any sign of emotion and waited for a reply.
“When do I leave?” Natasha asked.
“As soon as possible,” Fury replied. “Barton will be your partner on the mission and is waiting in the hangar. Good luck.” Fury said as Natasha walked out of the conference room.
“Yekaterina,” a soldier shouted before I began to walk towards the fighting ring. I tied my long, black hair into a ponytail as I stared down my opponent. She was bigger than me and had more muscle mass, yet she didn’t frighten me. After she tied her hair up, we got into our fighting stances. The soldier mediating the fights stood off to the side of the ring and looked at us both before yelling, “Fight!”
The other girl lunged with her fist towards my face, but only connected with the air. I jumped out of the way and ducked into a roll. As I stood and turned around, I caught her fist before it nearly collided with my face. She looked at her hand in shock before I twisted it, resulting in her cry of pain. As soon as I let go of her hand, I punched her in the face and continued until blood came from her mouth. She attempted to kick me to defend herself, but I caught her leg and flipped her over. I held down her body while pressing her face into ground by holding onto her hair.
“Odin! Dva! Tri!” the soldier counted while the girl was held to the ground, signaling the end of the fight. “Everyone line up for the daily serum.” Everyone gathered themselves into a line where two soldiers were waiting, with one holding a tray with five syringes containing blue liquid. While they started to walk down the line, the other soldier carefully lifted the different syringes from the tray and plunged them into each girl's’ neck. I was the last in line as the soldier pricked the needle into my neck but I felt no pain. “Go to your living quarters and prepare for training tomorrow morning.” The soldier said before turning to leave. The other girls left immediately while I lingered behind and grabbed a rag to wipe the blood off my hands before walking back to my shared room with the other girls.
I felt the heat before I heard the alarm go off in the compound. “All Black Widows report to the research lab in the east wing. I repeat, all Black Widows report to the research lab in the east wing,” someone announced over the intercom. All of the us lined up by the door and waited to be escorted to the lab. A soldier finally arrived and we filed out of the room with me last. As we rushed down the hall, we walked past two high rank soldiers in a hushed conversation.
“Ostanovites!” one of the high rank soldiers yelled out. The soldier escorting stopped and turned towards the others, awaiting orders. “Yekaterina will be going with us,” the soldier stated as he pulled me to his side. “Prodolzhit,” the high rank soldier said while the soldier that escorted me bowed his head before proceeding down the hall, leading the other girls away. The soldier that pulled me to his side began to walk down the opposite side of the corridor with me with the other soldier following suit. We walked down many hallways when one the soldiers’ walkie talkies began to go off.
“Hangar A has been burned down. You must deliver Yekaterina to Hangar C. Understood?” the soldier on the other end of the line asked.
“Da,” the soldier responded before putting his walkie talkie away. He turned around, grabbed my arm and began to lead me in the other direction. We didn’t get very far when the ceiling suddenly collapsed behind us. I turned to see the rubble smother the soldier that was walking behind me and the flames that engulfed the ceiling. The other soldier began to pull on my arm, taking me away from the scene when a woman with red hair jumped from the hole in the ceiling. “Go to Hangar C and kill that woman if she goes near you. That’s an order!” the soldier yelled, while taking out his gun and starting to fire at the woman, who was dodging all the bullets. “Go!” the soldier yelled as I broke out into a run.
I ran down many corridors when I heard, “Stop! I don’t want to hurt you!” I turned around to see the red-haired woman a few feet away from me. “I just want to help,” she continued in Russian, inching closer. When she reached arm’s distance, I threw a punch. She caught the punch centimeters from her face but I caught her off guard when I swung under her legs, dropping her to the floor.
“I don’t need your help,” I said, turning around to head towards the hangar when she suddenly grabbed me from behind. She held my arms down but I swiftly butted her with the back of my head, drawing blood from her nose. She quickly regained herself and held up a fighting stance.
“I don’t want to hurt you,” she repeated herself.
“But I want to hurt you,” I said, beginning to advance when I felt a shock at the back of my head and fell forward. I was knocked out cold.
“Mission report,” Fury said, standing in front of Natasha and Clint.
“We successfully retrieved the files but they destroyed the building. When they realized Clint and I were there, they attempted to destroy everything and the terminated all but one girl,” Natasha replied, showing a hint of emotion with her last sentence.
“Who is she and why did they want her alive?” Fury asked, taking a seat.
“Her name is Yekaterina Mikhailovna Orlova. She is 23 and is the highest ranked Black Widow of that program,” Natasha answered.
“Was she higher ranked than you?” Fury questioned.
Natasha hesitated a moment before responding, “She is very well trained and nearly got the drop on me, but I could take her.”
“You could only take her because I shocked her with my arrow,” Clint piped up.
Natasha shot Clint a glare before saying, “She is slightly more skilled than me but she is ruthless.”
“I’m well aware of that. She has woken up twice and wounded all of the five doctors observing her. She has been put under heavy sedation,” Fury revealed.
“She is not of sound mind,” Natasha commented.
“What do you mean?” Fury asked while Clint craned his neck towards Natasha.
“The soldiers watching the girls gave them a syringe of blue liquid each day. I found it in one of the labs. I think it was used to keep the girls under their control,” Natasha revealed. “We could attempt to talk to her after the drug has left her system.” Fury nodded throughout the explanation.
“We will keep her under sedation and keep track of the drug in her system,” Fury declared before standing and exiting the room. Natasha glanced at Clint before she left the room as she began to wait for me to wake.
“The drug has left her system and she’s awake,” an agent reported to Fury.
“Finally. It’s been two damn days,” Fury commented. “Have you tried talking to her?”
“She’s only responding in Russian and from what I gather, she wants to see the red-haired woman that brought her here ,” the soldier answered.
Fury nodded and responded, “Send in Natasha.”
Natasha knocked on my door and slowly opened the door and let herself in. “Hello. My name is Natasha,” she said, taking a seat on the side of my bed before continuing. “I helped to break you out of the compound you were in. You are currently in America under the protection of S.H.I.E.L.D. Do you understand?” she asked while I silently nodded my head. “If you need anything, ask for my name and I will be glad to help you.” she said before getting up from the bed to leave the room.
“Wait!” I said, in English, sitting myself up on the bed. “You were a part of the program. Weren’t you?” I asked, causing her to nod her head. “I was taught most of the moves you used,” I responded quietly. “We were supposed to consider the other girls like sisters but I never got along with any of them. We were meant to be a family but I didn’t have one.” Natasha silently pulled me into a hug.
“I know what you are going through and what you have been through. I am always here to help and if you let me, I can be your family” Natasha said. “I can be your sister,” she added calmly.
“My sestra?” I asked quietly.
“Your sestra,” she responded. After a few seconds, she pulled out of the hug. “Would you like to meet everyone else, Yekaterina?”
“Yes, but I don’t want to be called that anymore,” I said, leading Natasha’s brow to furrow. “I never liked the name.”
“What would you like to be called?”
“Orlova would be fine,” I said after giving it some thought.
She gave a slight grin before saying, “Okay. Orlova it is then. Let’s go meet everyone.”

Secret Invasion episode 2 spoilers
I knew she was for real really dead. Plus Cobie said so but anyways before I discuss this in a civil manner I just want to say…..
HE LEFT HER BODY IN RUSSIA! HE LEFT HER GAY BODY IN RUSSIA!!! HE WAS JUST GONNA LEAVE HER IN RUSSIA. TALOS AND HIM COULDN’T HAVE FIGURED THAT OUT?? WHAT IF RHODEY COULDN’T GET IT BACK!! WHAT THE FUCK. SEEMS LIKE NOT LEAVING HER BODY RUSSIA WOULD BE IMPORTANT.
At least they gave her a mom? (Even though that feels not right?) Would have preferred if they gave her a girlfriend but ok. Cobie said she had siblings maybe that was the person in the background?
Obviously they had to kill Maria for real to actually fire Nick Fury. Since we know she would have done anything for him if he was fired or not so killing her is less of an emotional arc and more of a procedural one. Major spoiler but not a surprise: Maria gets a body bag and Nick gets a wife. Typical Marvel! The men always get a family.
Theories I have no support for
Theory 1: Cobie had 2 episodes credited left to her on imdb yesterday episodes 4 and 6 but it reverted to all six again today! — are there flashbacks coming? She still got special guest star billing for her 6 seconds of dead body air time I hope at least Cobie gets paid legit for this nonsense.
Theory 2: in order to pretend Maria was never in Russia they LMD her? Although a for real dead Maria is hard to take at least more Cobie air time is a trade.
More interesting story would be if there was images of fake Fury killing her and things really turn for Fury!?
I just don’t understand the purpose of killing off a woman character who wanted to stay in the MCU forever! Cobie said she will “always answer the call” for more marvel work which is hopeful and cute. Still nothing official on whether she is or is not in the Marvels—lots of contradictory reporting on this. As my heartbreak has turned to rage and after this series likely it will soon be indifference toward the MCU all together.
P.S. Cobie posted a goodbye Maria IG earlier today with the image of maria escaping skrulls as an LMD from the comics. (I doubt she knew this was what the image was from though tbh) she deleted the post! Maybe because of the comic photo error but i wonder if marvel was like hey no take this down!?
