Chapter 4
As Nat and Y/n made their way to the scene, Wanda groggily stepped out of her room, rubbing her eyes and yawning. "What's going on?"
"Rogers and Barnes." Nat rolled her eyes. "They somehow managed to break down the elevator and get themselves trapped."
"Men." Y/n shrugged.
Wanda's eyes widened, followed by a smirk. "Lead the way."
They descended the stairs and walked into the chaotic, yet hilarious, scene of Thor bashing his hammer against the steel doors while Tony was on his knees sobbing. "I said don't smash them!!" He wailed.
"That's what we were trying to avoid." Steve sighed from inside the elevator.
"Well you clearly weren't, since I'm standing in front of the busted elevator that I payed for." Tony retorted.
The others walked towards the girls and watched alongside them. "So you wanna explain how this happened?" Clint raised an eyebrow at them.
"We had zero part in it." Y/n shrugged.
Tony was now pulling Thor away from the doors, pleading for him to stop.
"Let's just wait until the emergency crews get here." Bruce said tiredly.
"NO!" They heard Bucky yell abruptly. "It's a hundred degrees in here, just get us out!"
Suddenly, all eyes were on Y/n. She glanced around the room. "What?"
"It's up to you and Thor. We have to go off of pure strength here." Rhodey gestured to the elevator.
She rolled her eyes and looked back at Wanda and Nat who were giving her a thumbs up.
She looked to Tony and gave him a sorrowful look. "I'll be careful." She mouthed.
She stood next to Thor and gave him a nod. "Get ready you two!" Y/n hollered through the crack in the doors.
When she heard them take a few steps back, they each, slowly hauled the doors apart, separating them until there was a big enough gap for Steve and Bucky to fit through.
"There." She huffed, flicking her hair out of her face.
"You're gonna have to pull the elevator down a little!" Steve called out.
"What?!" She furrowed her eyebrows.
"The space is too low!" He said, poking his head through the gap to show how low it still was.
Thor looked to Y/n. "We will need to pull the surface down a little. Are you up for it?"
Her lips curved into a small smile. "Of course."
They were aware that by doing this, the elevator would be broken and in need of repair for weeks. Y/n looked back to Tony, who at this point, had given up hope completely in trying to save it.
"Just go on with it." Tony said, turning and waving his hand.
She turned her attention back to the crisis in front of her and gripped the surface of the elevator floor.
"On the count of three." She said to Thor.
"One.."
"Two.."
"Three!"
Her and Thor pushed with all their strength, hauling it downwards little by little. The team covered their ears from the obnoxious, creaking noise that came with it.
Suddenly, the elevator jerked abruptly, locking in place. They had only managed to pull it a few inches.
"What's going on?" Bucky peered through the gap.
Y/n shook her head. "You guys completely jammed it. We can't get it to go any lower."
Before they could do anything, a yellow beam of light jolted right between Thor and Y/n, just missing her ear. She stumbled back, startled as the laser drew a line right across the doors, resulting in them collapsing onto the floor with a loud bang.
Y/n whipped her head to see Vision standing at the other end of the room with a bag of groceries in his hands. The team stared at him, dumbfounded of what just happened.
"Sorry. I thought you would need some assistance in freeing them." He looked around the room.
"Vis... how did you even get in with the elevator broken down?" Wanda asked confusedly.
"Well there was an open window so I just..." He trailed off as the team continued to stare at him.
"I'll be going then." He gestured with his groceries as he left the scene.
Wanda looked to Nat who told her to go after him. She hurried off and called after him.
Steve and Bucky stepped over the, now battered up doors on the floor and approached Y/n and Thor.
"Thank you, we would've been stuck in there forever if it weren't for you guys." Steve nodded to them.
"Maybe be a bit more responsible around those things Captain." Thor laughed, giving him a pat on the back. "Come upstairs, Stark made pancakes. Oh, and there are pop-tarts too!" He beamed, causing Steve to laugh.
The whole team had gone back up to the kitchen, leaving Bucky and Y/n alone in an awkward silence.
"So.. thanks... for getting us out." Bucky said, running his fingers through his hair, a nervous habit of his that Y/n was quick to notice.
"I should be apologizing, I left you and Steve in there for a good half an hour." She chuckled.
"It's no big deal, really." He grinned. "Like Nat said, it was your way of getting us back."
She laughed and rubbed her eyes. "I wouldn't say that was the best way of doing so. Plus, if I'd helped you initially, Tony's elevator doors would still be in tact, at least a little more than they are now, thanks to Thor."
"Well he did help get us out in the end. Along with you." His lips curved into a smile, causing Y/n to blush slightly.
"I... well there's pancakes upstairs. I bet you're hungry." She gestured towards the stairs.
"Starving." He chuckled lightly.
