summary: Hydra had been the only place you’d ever known to be home, but what happens when a certain soldier literally comes barging into your life?
a/n: part two to my newest mini series!! thank you for all the support. p.s: comment below if you want to be on the tag list
You awoke to strange and unfamiliar sounds. Blinking your eyes open, you were met with blinding white light, but not normal light. This light was of a shield of some kind. Some sort of impenetrable, translucent material.
You peaked your eyes around and spotted multiple people in long white lab coats with the words ‘Stark Industries’ displayed on their collarbones.
They were walking around carrying different things. One holding a microscope, the next an array of needles of some sort. All of them had one simple task though: to figure what or who the hell you were.
Quite frankly you scared the Avengers. You were one of the strongest experiments they’d ever seen to come out of Hydra’s facilities. They wanted all the information they could get, and they wanted it fast.
They didn’t know how to judge you, or how to perceive you. Many, among Steve, thought you could turn out to be good. But others did not.
The way you had acted was not of normalcy. The Avengers were expecting that you had wanted to leave Hydra’s clutches at all costs. And you did, to some extent. In your defense it was the only home you’d ever known, at least, that’s what Steve argued.
You didn’t know that the Star-Spangled man was taking up for you. Arguing over the fact that you have a right to be here just as any others do.
You had powers, they had powers. You’d done bad things in your life, they had all done bad things in their lives. To Steve it was not a contest.
Plus, maybe him falling in love with your eyes also had something to do with it.
But regardless, someone was at least fighting to help your case.
You turned to face the owner of the noise. And it was none other than Tony Stark himself.
You had heard of him during your time spent with Hydra. He was just another rich billionaire, but the one thing that had always fascinated you was his brain.
Tony Stark was too smart for this world, and he damn well knew it.
“Do you want out of this glass?” His muffled voice vibrated through the clear material surrounding you.
Eyes wide, all you could manage was a head nod in response.
“F.R.I.D.A.Y, dismantle the shield in lab six.”
“Right away sir.” A feminine voice called out from nowhere. You trembled slightly out of surprise and fear, until Tony reassured you it was just his A.I system.
“Oh don’t be afraid. If you ever need her just say ‘F.R.I.D.A.Y’, and she’ll appear.”
You nodded as if you understood what an A.I system was. Just shrugging away what you thought to be stupid american garbage.
“Come with me.” Tony gestured to you with his hand. You followed him out into the hallway.
“We all figured you might want somewhere more comfy to stay while we asses you.”
You nodded your head once more, “That’d be nice.” You mumbled.
“Ah, she speaks!” Tony surprised you with the boom and shock prevalent in his voice.
“Well I’m not a fucking mute.” You defended yourself.
“Woah-ho-ho, hot rod. We’re just trying to help.”
“Are you? Because from the likes of the looks i’m getting from these people: i’m not welcomed here.”
You stared, and glared back at those who dared to oppose you with their eyes. Never being one to back down to a fight.
“Well,” Tony sighed, “most of us are.” He rubbed his temple in frustration as you two continued walking down foreign halls. “I’m trying here, kid, but americans don’t take well to outsiders.”
“I’ll believe that when I see it. And plus, according to your scans, you’re nineteen years old; making you the second youngest person in the building.”
You scoff at his retort, “Yes, but I’m the strongest.”
Tony laughed, “Ill leave that up to the others.”
You both arrived at a metal double door. Tony paused before opening the door, “Just... just try to be nice; it’ll help your case.”
Scared out of your wits from his response, but not about to show it, Tony opened the door.
In it contained possibly your worst nightmare. There, in front of your own two feet, stood every single Avenger known to man, and some men in suits.
All of them hovered around a large glass table.
One darker man with an eye patch stood out to you, “Welcome,” his baritone voice boomed, “please take a seat Miss-?”
You panicked at that. Hydra had never given you a name.
Everyone around him patiently waited for you to reply.
“Uh.. miss...” You dug into the confides of your mind, “Y/N...” You tasted the foreign name on your tongue,”... miss Y/N.” You nodded to yourself for reassurance, but you could tell he barely bought it.
“Well, as I was saying: please take a seat.” He gestured to the empty rolling chair a couple of feet from him.
Once seated a man in a dark suit nearest the board began speaking, “As you all know we are gathered here to decide the fate of our newest... member.” He strained out the word member, as if he wanted anything but to welcome you.
Tony was right: some people were against you.
You caught Steve’s grimace at the man from across the room, not being able to help the small smile that adorned your face.
Steve was standing against one of the side windows in the room with his arms crossed. Your wandering eyes bathed in all his beautiful glory.
In all your times spent with Hydra you had never seen a more breathtaking specimen.
“Y/N!” The man at the front yelled at you, snapping you out of your trance, “Do you testify?”
“Yes.” You stated back through tightly clenched teeth, “I have the same right as any to be here.”
“What if we don’t need you?” He retorted.
You paused, the whole room waited silently for your response,“Oh trust me, you will.” You smirked, whilst he grimaced back at you.
“Are there any other objections to Miss.Y/N staying at this facility?” You peaked around at his question, a couple women and men in the company’s uniform raised their hands, but you were woefully surprised that no one of the Avengers team did. In fact, all of them seemed to look at you with a small smile.
“Why are we even arguing this? You all allowed me to stay.” A man that you faintly recognized spoke whilst stepping out of the back of the crowd. His shiny metal arm instantly catching your eye.
You knew him, like something in the back of your mind screamed at his familiar face. He was like a faint memory, a memory that brought pain to think about.
The man at the front scoffed, which brought you out of memory lane, “That’s simple to answer: Shes stronger than you, stronger than anything we’d ever seen come out of Hydra.”
“What, are you telling me you are afraid of a little challenge?” You bit out in your german accent, completely cutting off the man with the silver hand, and the man in the suit all at once.
You, and you alone needed to stand up for yourself.
“Are you telling me that you’re afraid... of a little girl?”
You could tell that comment hit hard in the faces of most in the room. If anything the Avengers, and who they worked with, prided themselves on being strong and independent. And to tear that all down with a simple comment sparked uproar into the room.
But it only left a smart smirk on your face.
“We’ll stop there today!” The darker mans voice from earlier rang out through the room.
“There will be no buts! You’re all dismissed.” At that you pushed yourself out of the chair, and shuffled away into the crowd of evading people. That was, until, someone disrupted your momentary peace.
“Ah, ah, ah, not you.” The man, who’s name you now know as Fury, stated, motioning for you to come back with a wave of his hand, “We need to talk.”
You strutted over to his annoying beckoning of a call, and seated yourself with your arms crossed.
“I think that it’s in your best wishes to be on your best behavior, Miss... Y/n.” The name still sounded foreign on Fury’s tongue, “If you’d like a permanent home here, it’ll take a lot of you to convince us of that.”
You scoffed, “I’m not the one that tore me from what i’ve ever known.”
“Likewise, if you want to gain a home here, you need to be kind, and conservative during your trial.”
You squinted your eyes at him, “I’ll try my best... Are we done now?”
The man dragged a slow hand across his face with a sigh, “Yes, you can go.”
“Great.” You mumbled under your breath whilst exiting the room.
You only slightly felt bad for acting rude toward the man for helping you. But hey, these people took you from your “home”, or at least the closest thing to having a home.
Your mind wandered aimlessly as you walked down corridor after corridor; not knowing your final destination. You had let your mind distract you from where you wanted to go, and so you slammed into a hard, blue chest.
Stumbling back a little from the blow, two arms came around the upper of your arms to hold you steady, “Woah, that was my bad.” The blond haired soldier stated.
“Nah, I wasn’t watching where I was going.” You replied in your thick german accent, catching Steve by surprise; he always forgot your line of heritage, and was ironically taken aback because you were the very species he had fought in the war. But nonetheless he couldn’t help his arising feelings for you.
“Did you know where you were going?” He asked, not trying to seem rude, “I mean, you’re new here, and this place tends to be a bit confusing for new comers.”
“No, but I was going to find it along the way.”
“Oh.” Steve stated whilst awkwardly scratching the back of his head, “Well.. um.. did you want to join me in the gym? That’s where I was headed now.”
It just then occurred to you the reason for Steve’s gym attire, for you had not known of this facility’s extracurricular activities.
You thought over his question, but then figured,
Why the hell not? It’s not like you had anything else to do.
