Plot: Sam meets a mysterious girl during one of his mission
Warnings: Anxiety - Panic Attack
A/N: Hi! This is part 3, I almost forgot to post this one and I’m tired of seeing Bucky and other characters that are not Sam Wilson or Anthony Mackie in is own tag 😓 Also I wanted to thank you for reading and I hope you’ll enjoy this part it’s a little goofy at some point.
(Y/n) headed to the closest park, where she sat on a bench for hours listening to music and contemplating. A moment of peace after weeks and weeks of having to go on all those stupid missions. She knew that if she were physically able to do it, Raven would let her sleep for days and make sure that (Y/n) wouldn’t wake up until the job was done...
The bell of a nearby church tower suddenly rang and snapped her out of her thoughts. It was getting late and time to go home - but that place wasn’t really home, it never had felt like it.
"I like the factory, it’s big and I met you there."
(Y/n) jumped off the bench in surprise.
"Tim! Wha-What are you doing here? Did you follow me? When... I’ve been here for hours! Were you just standing there ..."
"I heard Raven’s thoughts and I knew that you’d be there", the boy explained.
"You should’ve stayed at the factory, it’s dangerous for you out there! We should go back now." (Y/n) grabbed Tim's hand and started back towards their shelter, but he wasn’t following her.
"I want to go somewhere else first." He took some money out of his pocket.
"Let’s go eat something."
Later that day Torres brought Sam to a small and cosy-looking burger restaurant. They ordered beer at the counter and sat in a booth near a window. Chatting about their missions, Joaquin asked Sam many questions about his work with the Avengers. Sam was having a good time, but deep down, he still couldn't stop his thoughts from drifting back to the mysterious girl.
"Sam? Are you still thinking about your ghost from the warehouse?" Joaquin suddenly asked.
"What? Uh... Yeah. I’m sorry for zoning out. It’s just that I have a lot of unanswered questions. I feel like something big is coming, and I don’t know what to do."
"You survived Thanos, I’m pretty sure you can survive anything now!" Joaquin took another sip of his beer.
Little did he know, but Sam was closer to the mysterious girl than he thought at that moment. She and a young kid were sitting a few tables away from him, eating fries and chatting.
"Okay, but can you go in the kitchen and get inside the chef’s head because I want to know how to make this. It's so good! Billy would love it too! Delicious!"
(Y/n) was gushing over their food, while Tim was laughing.
"(Y/N), you know I can’t do that! If I told you the recipe, we wouldn’t need to come back here, and I like this place!"
She smiled at him. "Aww, you are so cute. By the way, how did you get the money?"
Tim’s lowered his head and mumbled something under his breath.
"What was that, Timmy? I can’t hear you."
"I said, I stole it from Raven’s wallet because she had made you sad"
(Y/n)'s face darkened. "YOU DID WHAT?" she almost shouted. Some heads in the restaurant turned in her direction, so she quickly lowered herself in her seat and tried to make herself inconspicuous.
"She’s gonna kill me and then you!" she whispered angrily at Tim. "And then she'll find a way to bring us back just to kill us all over again!"
"You know she can’t do that. Besides, I thought it would make you happy..." Tim made an adorable face at her, hoping it would make her be less angry with him.
"Don’t you dare make that face! Your puppy dog eyes won’t change the fact that we are gonna die tonight. This is literally your last meal, Timothy, so you better enjoy it!"
The kid started to laugh, which made her laugh too. Maybe it was actually a perfect opportunity to get away from the factory and Raven's group?
Timothy was about to say something when suddenly a tall man appeared out of nowhere, leaning on their table.
"Hey! I was sitting with my friends over there and I couldn’t get my eyes off you. You have a lovely smile, you know?" he addressed (Y/n) in a flirty manner.
The girl gave Tim a confused look. Was the guy really talking to her? Flirting wasn’t her strong suit, and she was beginning to feel uncomfortable, Timothy could feel it.
"Thank you, but I’m not interested. Have a good day," she said politely, hoping the guy would leave her alone.
But the man wasn’t satisfied with her answer and sat just down next to Timothy in the booth. (Y/n) tried to remain calm, feeling her anxiety rising. 'This is the real world', she told herself, 'I can't just grab Timmy and vanish.' She needed to find another way to resolve this.
(Y/n) looked at Timothy, hoping he would read her mind. 'Make a scene, and then we escape in the commotion', she asked him, trying to convey to him her plan of escape. The young mind reader noted at her, smiled, and suddenly start to sing at the top of his voice.
There's not a star in heaven
He stood up from the bench, still belting out the song, and the man gave at him with a concerned look. Tim stepped on the table and now everyone in the restaurant was looking at him.
"So cool! There'a a show on tonight!" Joaquin cheered. Sam looked over to the child as well, giving the performance a fond smile. The child reminded him a bit of AJ and Cass when they were younger.
"You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are"
Timothy was now reaching his hand to (Y/N) so she would sing the second part. Singing was something she like to do alone or with Tim at the factory, but not in front of people. But this time she had no choice, so she took Tim’s hand and stood up.
"Creating space between us
'Til we're separate hearts"
Sam’s smile suddenly faded. That was the girl from the warehouse, he had found her! But what was she doing here?
He stood up slowly and started to approach her, while she continued to sing her duet with the child - she hadn't noticed him yet.
"But your faith it gives me strength
The girl and the child sang in harmony, then started the chorus:
Timothy jumped off the table, still holding her hand. He put the money next to their plates, and then they both started dancing and twirling towards the exit. Sam tried to
keep his eyes on her and find a way through the crowded restaurant.
Only now noticing that Sam had got up from his seat, Torres shouted at him, "Where are you going?"
Sam didn’t stop to answer, but finally managed to squeeze out out of the crowd and into the street outside.
He caught a glimpse of the pair, who - still singing and dancing - disappeared into an alley to recover from their performance. Catching their breaths, they both started laughing.
"Out of all the songs in the world, you had to choose one from 'High School Musical'?" (Y/n) was laughing so hard she slid on the floor, almost crying.
Sam heard her laugh and cautiously started to approached them.
A crow suddenly cried out, making Tim snap out of his laughter. Looking up, he noticed Sam in the distance and grabbed (Y/n) wrist.
"We have to go!" He said urgently.
"Just a minute, I need to catch up my breath first." (Y/n) answered, breathing hard.
Tim took her hand and pulled her up to her feet.
"Timmy, stop. I said I need a minute." He wouldn't stop pulling her.
"Wait!" Sam shouted at them. He was still a couple hundered meters aways, but the girl didn’t appear to have heard him.
Timothy was now squeezing her hand so hard it hurted.
"Timothy, what are you doing? Stop!"
"I can’t stop" The boy suddenly started crying. "It’s not me, it's Raven!"
Their boss had the unique ability to possess and control other people's body while she slept. (Y/n) kneeled so she was face to face with Tim, seeing the fear and anguish in his small face. She looked around and spotted Raven’s familiar, a dark crow, watching them intently. (Y/n) wanted to scream. "Leave him alone, Raven, he’s just a kid!"
"Then come home," Raven’s voice echoed from the child’s mouth. "Your mission is not over yet!" (Y/n) was shaking, realizing that there were no escape for her - she was trapped once again.
Realizing there was something wrong, Sam sped up his steps. When he arrived at the kneeling girl and the child squeezing her arm, he could tell from the shock on their faces that something sinister was going on.
Probably wizards again, he thought darkly. Where were Strange and Wanda when you needed them? He would have to try and solve this one alone somehow.
He knelt down next to the distressed child and spoke to him calmly.
"You should release her arm, kid." The boy trembled for a moment as if an internal fight was happening inside of him, but the stranger's voice seemed to break him out of his trance, and he let go of her arm.
The girl was still looking at him worriedly, her heart pounding. "Tim, are... are you alright?"
She wrapped him into a tight hug, closing her eyes.
"Don’t be sorry (Y/N), it’s not your fault."
Tim’s looked up at Sam and tried to smile. "Thank you, mister."
(Y/n) opened her eyes and turned her head, ready to apologize to the unknown man who had saved them.
Her voice faltered when she recognized him.
Thank you for reading!! =)
