Yup, robots again

🔹️

Y/N's POV

The meetings today weng all well, wich was extremely good, Tony didn't complay about anything, and things at the Avengers' floor were fine.

You still tried from time to time, discover what possibly Tony and Bruce could be hiding, creating excuses to enter the lab, or try to ask about unecessary stuff to your boss just to see what he was doing at his office, unfortunetly it didn't work, it seemed like they knew what you were planning, there goes the surprise element.

Your researches weren't going far, you were stuck to that same point, there was nothing else you could find on the internet. You tried searching about your father's watch, the only thing you found interesting was that there were only limited models for that especific piece, and, they were made in Germany. The writting in it was in German, the man asked and talked wiyh you on german before he fell off the building, that couldn't be just a coincidence...right? There was even the hardest and craziest possibility, that the watch could, somehow, be related to Hydra, since it was founded during the second war by a nazi research group.

But that seemed to be VERY out of hand, there was no way your father could possibly be related to a supervillain association, he was the type of men who would get drunk in a bar and forget his wallet, and forget that he forgot the wallet, forgetting to look after it. That's how you assumed him to be actually, you never had a real familiarity with his daily life and habits to be sure.

Everything seemed to be the same until one day, while you were talking with Wanda, an emergency siren started.

-What is happening?-You asked.

-An attack, let's go to the Avengers' Floor.-She answered and you hushed to the elevator.

🔹️

-What is going on?-Wanda asked as you both arrived.

-Washington heights is under attack.-Sam shouted from across the room preparing his equipment

-Those fucking robots again-Clint added.

-Hydra?-You questioned.

-There's only one way to find out-Tony said while the parts of his suit automatically ajusted in his body, no matter how many times you've seen it, you'd always get impressed by it.

Wanda hurried with the others and started preparing for the mission.

-Do you need any assistance sir?-You asked Tony.

-No Pizza, just take care of the Tower with Happy while I'm out. Oh- He lifted one finger in the air for you to pay attention- Don't even think about going out there during the attack, did you understand?

-Yes...-You agreed still reluctant.

-Good.-He tapped your shoulder and went after Natasha to talk about something.

You couldn't help but have a bad feeling about all of that, why suddenly an attack? What Hydra was planning this time? You were so immersed in thoughts that you didn't even notice when Bucky appeared by your side.

-You okay?-He spoke to you.

-Just...Wondering why this all of sudden.-You answered.

-Welcome fo my world-He joked- Most of the time I don't know what's happening.

You chuckled, you knew why he was making a joke at a serious time like that, he knew that deep inside you were worried.

-It's going to work out. -He added.

-I know.-You nodded with your head and he gave a half smile before joining the others.

-Alright, is everybody ready?-Tony asked one last time.- Let's go.

He left and the team followed him, just Steve stayed and walked to you.

-Aren't you going?-You asked surprised.

-I am, just wanted to check how you were feeling. -He holded your shoulders.

-A pile of nerves as always. Thanks.

-Nothing bad will happen.

-You can't be sure about that.

-I promise you. It'll be quick.-He gave you a hug and sweetly kissed your head.- I'll be back faster than you can say gobbledigook.

He smiled one last time and made distance, walking after the group and leavinv the room.

-Gobbledigook.-You muttered alone in the saloon.

🔹️

Wanda's POV

-What the fuck...-Clint let it go as you flied on the Quinjet and looked at the district.

There were robots everywere, they were different from those on the last attack, they were faster, stronger, in a bigger number both in the sky and on the ground.

-What do they want this time?-You asked.

-I've got no idea.-Steve answered while positioning the shield in his arms.- But they certainly aren't here to chat.- He got up and the Quinjet's back door opened.-Avengers Assemble!

And all of you jumped from the vehicle, you used your powers to perfectly land on the ground.

They were so many, you started defending yourself from some but it still wasn't enough.

Clint on a building had his eyes on multiple targets, shooting with his arrows, on the sky Tony fighted with flying robots with Vision's help.

Thor fighted by your side, his hammer hitting dozens of enemies with just one stroke.

Steve and Sam joined and started fighting with some robots, while Bucky, Nat and Bruce (who was the Hulk now) tried to take down as many enemies as they could.

That's when you surprised yourself with one of the robots behind you, but he didn't attack at first, a red scan passed through your body for a mere second, then, after processing it he said "Target Not Found. Eliminate." Then started attacking.

You had some difficulty but at the end destroyed him, what you couldn't stop thinking was what could be the actual target.

🔹️

Y/N's POV

You were agitated, walking around the tower with your thoughts awaken, wondering the inumerous possibilites of what could happen outside.

The TVs and radios just made it even worse, they narrated the news like an apocalypse was happening on NY.

Work continued on the tower as usual, Tony made sure that all the security sysmtems were working so that people could worm normally, even though they shouldn't fear you could still hear them, in their little gossips and conversations, almost their thoughts, doubting the Avengers' powers and Tony's leadership through that period.

You wanted to go after them, insist, yell, fight with them, telling that the Avengers were doing their bests while they were having people saying trash behind their backs, tell that your friends were risking their lives out there, that Steve was, while the people they protect were being ungrateful.

Take deep breaths, count to 10 and don't stare into the crowd of workers on the hall watching the news. You could do that.

-Y/N-Happy called and you got back to reality.

-Oh, hey.-You answered.- Is something wrong?

-The Linkers Co. Document is in Tony's office, can you get it for me? I need to take care of this employees with anxiety because of the attack.

-Sure- You answred and he gave you the keys- I'll be back soon.

-Thanks. Hey, Hey! Gerald stop hiding under the desk!-He went after the employee while you went to the office.

🔹️

It was weird being in Tony's office while nobody was there, actually you've never been there alone. It was awfully quiet, and you felt something bad in your guts.

You opened one of the drawers and found the documents Happy asked, you put them on the desk and closed the drawers, you were about to leave when you noticed another drawer beneath the one you used. It had a little screen, like a pannel, where you could digit a password.

"Why so much security for a simple drawer?" You wondered.

You shaked your head and grabbed the documents, heading to the door, but it was almost like a siren singing to pirates in a storm, making their ship go through rocks and sinking.

You fell for the siren.

You got back, closed the door, locked, so no one could interrupt and put the documents on the desk again, squated on the ground and touched the pannel.

It suddenly iluminated, and a phrase appeared "Insert Password".

Could that be really that easy?

Well, after some trials it sure wasn't.

And worse. It must've activated some sort of security system.

"Intruder Detected, activating security system" the drawer said and suddenly it was covered in steel.

-What...-You said oblivious.- No! Open!-You tried but it was no use.- Rats.

You touched multiple times the pannel but it didn't change. You were annoyed by it, why so many security in it? The curiosity was driving you insane.

You touched the pannel one more time, but,instead of changing it started to melt. Like your touch made that happenn.

Your heart beated strongly on your chest as the drawer opened. You pulled it to see what was inside...

🔹️

Wanda's POV

-THERE'S TOO MANY OF THEM!-Clint exclaimed kicking a robot away.

-Just keep fighting them!-Steve encouraged.

-Where's Tony???-Thor asked on the while destroying enemies.

-Still on the sky fighting those- You poited to him, where the ironman continued a difficult fight.

-Target Not found. Eliminate- You heard a robot saying.

-Natasha watch out-You shouted and used your powers just in time before the robot attacked her.

-What the hell was that??-She asked.

-I've noticed they're analyzing us, lookig for a target.

-And what the fuck is this target?-Bucky was already impatiant.

-I don't know. But watch out for your backs.

But in the heat of the fight you noticed the robots weren't stopping. They made a circle around you and some of your allies.

While fighting you only could hear the sound of your scream:

-STEVE!

🔹️

Y/N's POV

-What is this...?-You muttered while staring into the drawer.

A flask of a strange liquid remained inside. Only it.

You grabbed it and just the touch of your hand in the glass gave you a huge headache, making your head spin and your sight blur for a moment.

You looked at the label written in a foreign language:

Project C Serum Replica

The memory almost slapped your face as you remembered the man on the tower calling you "Project C!"

The flask had more information, like ingredients and consequences of its use. By the end of the label a little symbol brought your attention. Hydra's Symbol.

Could that be what Tony has found on the old Hydra lab? That's what he hided? And what did you have to do with that serum?

The many questions passed through your mind as you continued holding that little flask on your hands.

Until you heard him.

You heard the battlefield and could see him there.

"STEVE!" You heard someone shout.

-Steve...-You gasped and scared you let the flask slip through your hands, crashing on the ground.

You stared for a brief moment to the liquid, splashed on the ground.

But it was for a really brief moment, the liquid started to move, like it had life, and slided through the ground, until your hands, going under your skin.

You were about to panic but the visions of the battlefield flashed constantly on your mind, Steve was in danger.

You ran through the door, so fast that you thought you could fly, leaving documents, the opened drawer and the broken glass on the office, not worrying about the future.

Happy's POV

Y/N was being too slow. You had already asked her it's been 15 minutes, yes you counted the minutes on your watch.

You had already managed to deal with the scared employees and was waiting fkr her with the documents.

What you didn't expect was her, running like crazy through the stairs, arriving at the hall and not even looking at you.

You went after her on the parking lot, about to give a lecture, when you stared into her eyes.

They were bright white espheres, you noticed her hair was floating, her hands had some flying dust around them, you didn't know how to describe.

-Y/N!-You shouted and she glanced quickly at your direction but ignored you, running so fast that you quickly lost her trace.

🔹️

Y/N's POV

Washington Heights was a mess. You didn't see citizens on th street, just machines who were about to destroy anyone in their path.

Some houses were in flames, some cars were abandoned in the street, any living thing has escaped to their safety.

A robot appeared in front of you, as you couldn't hear Steve's voice anymore, you felt a sudden rage and heat take control of your soul.

-Where is him?-You asked and could feel flames in your throat.

The machine didn't say anything. Instead passed a scan through your body, after that just answered as:

-Target Found. Calling all units. Take it alive.

The machine walked towards you, nkt just that, but many more, both in earth and sky.

-Get away from me!-You shouted but that didn't affect them.

You were angry, you looked on your hands, the edges of your things were almost dismaterialized, having their little particles floating above, you didn't understand but felt inside of you a great rage.

The ground began to shake, as the robots approached you lifted your hands and some sort of sparkling and bright energy hit them.

You had no time to loose, just ran again looking for him. That was all that mattered.

🔹️

Tony's POV

When you think things can't get worse they actually get.

You spot her, from the sky, on the streets, hitting robots with some sort od powers and running like insane, so fast that it was hard to keep with her.

You called the Avengers who knew her power:

-She's here. Y/N. I don't know what the fuck happened but she's using her powers.

-Yeah, I noticed the robots are going after something and stopped attacking us- Natasha answered.

-What do we do? Bucky and Wanda can't see her like this- Clint spoke.

-One of you distract or knock them out, I don't know.

-Leave it with me- Thor said- You others go after her.

-Where is Steve?

-I don't know, haven't seen him in a while- Sam stated.

-That's not a very good sign.-Vision spoke.

-Shit.-You swore before going after Y/N.

🔹️

Y/N's POV

Those horrjble robots were still like insane after you, luckily you managed to avoid them, and by avoiding you meant you hit them, you didn't know how, but at least it worked.

That's when you saw him. There, almost falling trying to fight a robot.

-STEVE!-You shouted.

-Y/N?-He turned to you, and, distracted, the robot hit him furiously, making the cap strongly fall on the ground, creating a hole on the concrete.

You ran after him, grabbing the robots neck with just one hand, making it melt with fire, slowly seeing the glow red light in his eyes disappear.

You throwed the robot away and squated on the ground holding steve in your arms, he was all injured, covered in his own blood, you've never seen him so bad like that.

-Steve...Steve!-You tried to talk with him.

-Y/N...Wh...what..?-His eyes were half closed, and he seemed to put a lot of effort to speak.

-Oh my God...-The tears started to fell as you saw how bad he was.-Can you stand up?

Steve couldn't even breath right, you were almost sure that under that suit he broke some of his ribs.

You could still hear the robots coming, but at that moment all you could focus was on him.

-Y...You..Can't...stay...here....it's...it's dangerous...-He coffed and spilled blood while talking.

-I'm not leaving you here.-You spoke fiercely.-Come on Steve, you are stronger than this.

-Just....Stay...safe...please....

-Steve no.-You were already sobbing, you helf his face close to yours- Look at me. Don't close your eyes.

He lifted slowly his arm and carressed his hand through your hair, giving a painful smile.

-Now I see it...-He made a lot of effort to say the sentences together- I tried to lie to myself....but it's true...I was falling in love with you from the moment we met...

-Steve...

-Y/N-You saw a tear falling slowly through his face, turning red mixing with the blood- listen to me....

-Steve stop saying that, you'll get through this. We'll get through this.

His eyes were slowly closing:

-I wish...I wasn't...a fool...and told you sooner...I loved...you long enough...before I had courage to...tell you...-As he said those last words his eyes closed and his arm once in your head fell on the ground.

-Steve...-You couldn't believe at your own eyes- STEVE!-You screamed.- No...I...I can't loose you...not you...

The robots came, you stared at them, you were full of hate inside, with pain, sadness, you felt a bitter taste in your mouth.

You layed Steve gently on the ground and got up facing them.

-YOU TOOK HIM FROM ME!-You screamed and standed your arms on the air.

🔹️

Tony's POV

If someone told you that scene you wouldn't believe it. But you've seen it, with your own eyes. All the robots around her, hundreds, circling her.

She standed from the ground, Steve's body by her side, she yelled in a voice you never expected to hear from her.

The eyes pure white, her hands seemed to appear and disappear, turing into particles.

She lifted her arms and before you could say anything the impact came and hit not just the robots but you too.

You were pushed by her force, your sysmtems failing, luckily you activated a sepcial barreer to protect yourself.

When you noticed you crashed into the ground.

🔹️

Natasha's POV

You woke up still dizzy, something far made the whole area be pushed by some sort of power.

You tried to stand, your legs still hurt because of the impact, you saw Bruce, now in his normal form, lying on the ground, you managed to go after him and shaked him.

-Bruce, Bruce wake up-You asked worried.

-Ugh...-You heard him moan and start moving his arms.-You sighed relieved.-What happened...?

-I don't know-You helped him get up- Let's find the others.

As you walked you found the inumerous robots, deestroyed on the ground, more and more as you walked to Y/N's location.

-Natasha-Sam and the others came, Wanda still fainted in Vision's arms. The same with Bucky in Thor's, he probably hit them with his hammer before the the attack.- You guys are alive!

-Yeah, you are too. Good.-You looked but couldn't find him- Where's Tony?

-Thought he was with you.

-Well he isn't.

-He was the one closer to the impact-Bruce looked at his phone- He's probably where Y/N is.

-Shit.-You swore and went after them with the others.

🔹️

Tony's POV

You woke up dizzy, got out if your suit, noticing a big hole formed because of your fall around you.

-Y/N...-You muttered staggering and trying to keeo your balance.- Y/N...!

Your muscles were in pain, you felt like you broke something, blood slided through your head, but you needed to go after her.

She was there. On the same place, holding Steve.

-Y/N...-You called her and she looked at you scared, her eyes were still white-It's me.

-Mr.Stark...-She cried- Steve...He's...

You walked slowly towards her.

-Did you get hurt?-You asked calmly.

-No...I...I don't know what happened....You...You have to help him...

She was shaking, you grabbed her hand and she holded tight.

-We will take care of him.

-Please...

-We will.-You comforted her.

-Thank you...-Her voice sounded weak as a whisper before her eyes turned back to normal and she fainted, falling next to Steve on the ground.
