Joining the Lost Light

After months of checking facts in mtmte and on Whirl, then getting busy with the holidays, and having @sybergeist review and help fix a few things, my little x reader fic about a human joining the crew of the Lost Light is finished and ready. I'm honestly not very confident in my writing, so if this gets enough likes and reblogs I might do more.

Now, this is highly based off my self insert joining the Lost Light, so there are mainly female pronouns used in this. I can always go back and make versions for male and nonbinary readers. 

It does take me a while to write things, so I apologize in advance for very inaccurate uploads of my writing and self insert stuff.

-----------------------------------------

This was not what you had been expecting when you agreed to go on a camping trip with some friends from work. You didn't expect them to all suddenly have different reasons to cancel on you. You didn't expect to have automotive trouble—and you most certainly didn't expect to be abducted by fifteen-foot tall alien bugs . It didn’t help that they used some kind of gas to knock you out on their way to an alien planet so you wouldn't try to get away at that time. You still aren't sure how your escape happened, but you are now on the run from them.

You ducked into an ally next to some kind of giant store, clutching your large bag filled with your stuff you brought with you for camping. All you know is that if those alien bugs find you, you'll be sold as some kind of pet, and you didn't want to find out which kind of pet they meant.

You heard two "people" exit the giant store and tried to take a quick peek at what they were when you fell with a loud thud. The noise must have drawn their attention because soon you had two shadows on you. One loomed over you while the other seemed much smaller than the other. "Is that someone's holoform? It doesn't look familiar," said the large, mostly blue robot. You were nervous since you had no idea if these robots were with the bugs or not, but your curiosity won out.

"Um… What's a holoform?" you asked, hoping you didn't sound dumb.

"I think this is a real human, Skids!" said the small, black and white robot. You noticed it kind of looked like he had a camera on its head.

"I am a real human," you said without thinking.

"How did you get all the way out here?" asked the blue bot, apparently named ‘Skids’.

"Long story short,” you began, “I got abducted by some big alien bugs that wanted to sell me as some kind of pet."

"I guess this counts as one of those dark underbellies you were telling me about, Rewind."

As he spoke alongside Rewind’s nodding, three more robots came out of the store and over to you and these two bots. You had thought Skids was tall, but seeing the huge purple bot with one horn, you were promptly corrected on that thought. 

"Skids, Rewind, What do you have there?" asked an orange bot that looked like he was wearing glasses. 

Skids moved out of the way so the other three could see you, "it's a real human, Rung," he replied. 

"Oh my!" Rung didn't have time to ask anything more before one of those alien bugs, who abducted you, had found you. You quickly grabbed onto Skids' leg and hid behind him. "That's one of the bugs that abducted me!" you told him in a hushed tone.

It walked up to the bots, but its eyes were on you. 

"There you are! You had us worried! Running off like that to play games with us. Thanks so much for finding her!" it said, laying on the lie thick.

 "The way she's acting doesn't really suggest she's comfortable with you," Rung replied.

"And she told us that she was abducted and was going to be sold as a pet." Skids added, seemingly watching the bug closely. You wondered briefly if he knew how to read body language.

"Oh, she's such an imaginative one. We're trying to get her home, back to her planet," it lied to them with ease and confidence. You suddenly realized that this bug has done this before and now you worried if these bots would hand you over without a fight.

Skids must have sensed your discomfort. "You're lying." 

"What?! I would never!" it started, but was cut off by Skids explaining how he knew it was lying.

"Fine. How much do you want for her? Human pets are pretty popular though, so no less than a 100 shanix as a starting price." 

"We will do no such thing! There is no way that this is legal to do." Rung said, seeing that the bug was trying to sell you to them, or at the very least trying to buy you from them. Before things could escalate, the bug was sent flying by a new bot that showed up. This one had, what you could only describe as ‘chicken legs’, one big eye in the middle of his face, and claws for hands. 

"Did you see how far that guy went?! Bet he won't be getting up anytime soon! Ha!" the new bot said before turning to you, "So... who's holoform looks like that?"

"Not a holoform. She's a real human." Rewind said. You came out from behind Skids, into full view of this new bot. "I wasn't there when this happened, but I remember that the Wreckers had a human help out with a mission. She was a tough little thing. Wonder if this one is like her?" 

"We'd like for her to stay in one piece, Whirl." Skids said, seeming to indicate that Whirl might not be the best bot to be alone with. 

"I know you have no reason to trust us, but you are welcome to come with us so something like that doesn't happen again." Rung suggested, holding out his hand to you. 

You thought for a moment. All of them, except Whirl, seemed like they wouldn't do anything bad to you and were friendly enough. Even with the purple bot looking grumpy. 

"Okay. But only if I can leave this planet with you guys." You went over to Rung and he lifted you up onto his shoulder with a smile. 

"Of course!"

The seven of you soon came to a pub of some kind. You had learned that the purple bot was named Cyclonus and the blue and white bot was named Tailgate. You also told them your name was (y/n). They had told you they were meeting back up with two other crewmates, named Swerve, and Ultra Magnus. Rung quickly explained to both of them the situation you were in. The larger bot, who you assumed was Ultra Magnus, seemed like he was having issues holding his drink. You weren't really sure what could make robots drunk. Swerve seemed like he was ecstatic to meet a real human. You all talked and you were actually having fun with them. Things got rocky though, when Cyclonus just laid Whirl out for no reason, while Rewind was showing a video of an old spaceship called the Ark 1. When it came time to leave, they ran into an issue. It seemed like Ultra Magnus was too heavy and awkward to carry all the way back to the ship with them as they are. They made plans to come back and get him with these holoform things they were talking about before. 

You agreed to go back with their real bodies, but stayed with their bodies since you didn't know anyone else on the ship. When they got back, it wasn't long before Cyclonus and Tailgate showed up, too. The ship took off and now you were faced with a new problem; having to face the captain of this ship. You were so nervous as you waited for him to show up. You had no clue if he'd be nice or throw you off the ship with no way to survive. After all you only had that big bag of your stuff, not a space suit. You had some food that would last you for a week, but you worried about the possibility of them not letting you stay, and surviving on your own. 

Turns out the captain is a very relaxed bot. He explained a few days later that they couldn't get in touch with their home planet, Cybertron, so they couldn't send you to Earth. But you pointed out that all humans dream of either going to space or going on a quest, and right now you had the chance to do both. You wanted to stay and help any way you could. Rodimus liked your enthusiasm and spunk and allowed you to stay as an official crew member. 

And thus began your life on the Lost Light.

Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo?

Genre: light angsty fluff, high school au, female reader insert

Member(s): Stray Kids’ Minho (ft. Jisung and the lads)

Word count: 2991

Warnings: light swearing, light pda at the end

Summary: you and Minho had been best friends since you could walk but it seems only you had developed a crush on him. Will a late class and a small two man production of Romeo and Juliet change his mind or does he really not like you? Featuring the rest of the crackheads with their leader, Han Jisung, love is in the air at school and a certain someone is just oblivious to it.

Authors note: based off the following request “All time fav cliché best friends to lovers with Minho (stray kids) angsty fluff where reader (preferably female) thinks her love is one sided, but turns out it’s not. Good ending”. I hope this is something to what you wanted and sorry it’s not heavy on the angst pls enjoy !!

-You and Minho had een best friends for years and you always had the tiniest crush on Minho but it escalated a lot over the summer as Minho glowed UP

-Wow u are whipped

-However whipped as you are for him he never seemed to reciprocate it

-Ever

-You even went out with on valentine’s day 3 (three?!) years in a row but his thick skull didn’t acknowledge it and just thought it was another friends doing friends things

-So, you moved on

-I mean he’s your best friend you can’t let your crush get in the way of things

-You were there for him whenever he argued with his parents or friends, he was stressed about school or failed a test and uwu

-You’re just the bestest of friends and everyone is jealous (tho most think you are dating)

-So,,,,,

-You guys always hang out in school together bc you’re in the same friendship group

-And youre in most of the same classes, so you normally walk together

-WELL

-Minho managed to make the BOTH of you late to ur first class bc his dumb ass slept through his alarm and u had to basically drag him out of bed lmao

-So u rock up late for class

-Ur teacher is NOT impressed

-So as a punishment they give u a script of a play and told to learn it by next week

-U groan when u see the title of the play

-Romeo and Juliet

- Oh no

-This won’t end well

-You glance at Minho to see if he has any reaction bc,,,,, hello ur dying on the inside and probably the outside and you can hear Jisung and felix trying to hold in their laughs at u

-(you make a mental note to beat their asses later)

-And Minho

-Is very unfazed as he flicks through the script

-Ur kinda disappointed

-I mean it’s not fair how you’re a literal MESS trying not to let the floor swallow u up in embarrassment tbh

-So,, the two of you practice outside of class at ur guys’ house and you can’t help but notice how utterly unfazed he was by this whole ordeal

-Ur both literally reciting the most well-known love story on this planet and yet,,,,, nothing

-Not an ounce of feeling that he likes you

-I mean,,, he’s not a bad actor and his romeo makes u SWOON but honestly you swoon for irl Minho not just romeo Minho

-As you stutter over some of the lovey-dovey lines u hear Minho laugh a little and tells u to redo it

-his little shit

-After a week of practice, you guys are ready to perform this goddamn piece

-I may add that ur teacher only gave you the condensed version and not the whole play

-It just so happens that the condensed version only focuses on romeo and juliet’s love

-Bc English teachers amirite?

-So the two of you turn up to class ON TIME this week, not wanting to get ur ass beat again

-And ur just the tiniest bit nervous bc !!!! hello !!!! ur performing with ur crush !!!!

-U glance over at ur seatmate Jisung who gives u a big thumbs up

-BREATHE Y/N

-Everything is going well, u don’t stutter and Minho is just the perfect romeo

-Until the final scene I may add

-As you lay “dying” as Juliet, Minho runs onto the scene and spots u laying down

-He walks up to u and goes to kneel

-BUT

-Before you both knew it, he stumbled

-And fell

-Right

-On

-Top

-Of

-You

-Lips centimetres apart from each other

-OWO what’s this

-U swear the whole class are holding their breaths and can hear ur damn heartbeat

-U stare at Minho in shock for what must have been a minute

-Neither one of you tearing ur eyes apart from the other

-It wasn’t until you hear ur teacher cough slightly that the two of you snap out of it and Minho pulls away

-He finishes the scene off with no problem and honestly,,,, u don’t even register it’s over until Minho offers his hand to help you stand up

-You grab it, flushing a hella lot bc,,,,, u nearly kissed ur crush in front of ur whole class RIP

-Ur teacher was impressed with u guys and let you off the next assignment ur class had (if only u were aware of this then u would hear the whole class esp Jisung groan)

-As u go back to ur seat,,, ur eyes drift back to Minho and ur thoughts go back to that last scene and his lips……

-“yah Y/N ! u and minho were so close I swear you were gonna kiss you shoulda seen ur face!!!!! I thought for real that Minho was just gonna plant one on you !”

-Smh Jisung

-Poor baby,,, u just sit in shock trying to concentrate

-Hint: it doesn’t work

-Ur plagued with thoughts of Minho for the rest of the day,,,,, I mean you already were but now it’s like sensory overload but with Minho

-But u know he doesn’t like you

-Lmao why would he

-He surely would’ve spoken to you about by now esp after that near kiss in class

-But this dumbass is still oblivious

-School ends and ur trying to forget about the near kiss

-But in this, you forget that Minho has a habit of walking you home

-So there he is

-Leaning on your locker waiting for you to turn up

-YOU SWOON BC NO ONE SHOULD LOOK THAT HOT IN SCHOOL UNIFORM FOR PETE’S SAKE

-His blazer was off, shirt sleeves rolled up, blonde hair tousled and wavy (ladies, imagine Minho like this I’m crying)

-U feel ur heart literally stutter

-I swear that’s a medical condition Y/N

-“Let’s stop by the convenience store, my treat” he smiles down at you as he moves out the way so u can get to ur locker

-Dude,,,,, u need to stop before I melt into the floor

-“Uhhhh I can’t I have,,,,,, a study session at the library gotta work on some literature stuff u know ahaha”

-Minho frowns but doesn’t react massively

-Secretly he thinks its hella cute that ur tryna avoid him but that’s for another time

-“Okay, don’t study too hard and I’ll treat you another time. Text me when you get home”

-UWU

-Anyone who overhears this would be like wow 10/10 relationship goals tbh

-U however, a self-proclaimed dumbass, don’t dwell on it too much

-You guys tend to grab food after school together

-ANYWAYS

-Minho pulls you in for a hug before leaving

-Oof ur heart is stuttering again

-How you made it to the library for ur study session is a wonder tbh

-25 minutes later finds you groaning into ur books cursing minho’s name

-That’s when u realise 2 things, 1) that wow ur a FOOL bc there is no literature homework bc of ur work from earlier and 2) Minho is very bad for your health and u gotta avoid him for ur own sake

-U walk into school with this resolve

-It doesn’t work

-Minho is in practically every single one of ur classes

-So u practically have to run from each class to avoid him

-Which leaves Minho very confused

-He doesn’t walk with anyone else from class or treat them like he does to you

-Which makes Jisung very jealous,,, bc why can’t Minho treat him like this

-Little did you know Minho has a PHAT crush on you and Jisung is PLAGUED by the both of u gushing about the other

-Jisung is MEDITATING

-So when you start avoiding him even more Minho is extremely put out bc what does he do now who does he spend time with now

-(jeongin: we’re still here hyung!!!)

-Being the good friend he is, he gives u space but is still v sad about it

-And honestly, ur sad too bc as much as you love spending time with Jisung,,,,,, he’s no Minho lmao

-One night after school Minho is kicking round the football field with the others and that’s when he realises

-He’d much rather spend his time with you

-It’s not that he doesn’t love his friends, he just happens to love you even more

-But how can he reach out to you when ur avoiding him still

-Jisung notices how glazed over Minho’s eyes and knows

-*cracks knuckles* it’s time

-Jisung sends Minho home telling him to grow some chest hair n text u lmao

-Minho does go home but does not text you bc he’s just a nervous boy

-Jisung to the lads: “now he’s gone, we gotta make a plan for the two lovebirds they’re so BLIND I’m sick of it I might just confess to Minho myself”

-Chan: “……….”

-Jisung: “that was a joke old man, let’s focus pls ladies”

-So the plan

-Was it an elaborate one?

-Definitely not

-Lmao have u seen these kids they’re a bunch of crackheads

-Baso,,,, they’re just following the classic let’s text them separately to meet up as a front but SIKE it’s just the two of you alone

-Fool proof right?

-Somehow it is???

-Shocking??

-The two of you don’t expect anything is going on

-So it’s the weekend when the plan is put into action

-It’s been 17 days since you last spoke to Minho not that you had been counting haahaha okay yesyouhaveitsnotlikeyoumisshimoranything

-You wake up to a text from Jisung saying that him, felix, hyunjin, and changbin were going for ice cream and whether you wanted to go

-Which duh??? Ice cream???

-U needed it so you dragged yourself out of bed to get ready

-Little did you know that Minho too had received a text from Woojin saying that him and the others (a.k.a the family,,,,, Woojin, chan, seungmin and jeongin) were going for ice cream

-And Minho wasn’t passing up the chance esp when there was a high probability that chan would pay lmao

-*in the master gc of getting Minho and Y/N together*

-Jisung: excellent

-So 1pm rolls by and ur there at the ice cream parlour waiting for the others to rock up

-U go to order bc honestly boys take so long to get ready istg

-As you give ur order a voice behind goes “and a matcha ice cream as well please”

-U FREEZE

-Why of all the ppl to turn up

-It’s the one ur trying to avoid

-U turn to face him

-“Minho?”

-“Y/N?”

-Felix, somewhere: beYONCE?

-Ur in shock bc 1) why is here? 2) who allowed him to look so good in white ripped jeans ur DYING HERE 3) where is everyone else?

-That’s when u realise

-Jisung is a snake and ur friendship is over

-Y/N is taking applications for a new friend who isn’t called Han Jisung thank you

-Ur heart is stuttering bc Minho looks so boyfriend ur not okay

-Safe to say those 17 days did NOTHING in swaying your crush on him

-“Is that all?” oh yikes yeah this isn’t a drama scene Y/N where ur crush confesses to u, someone has to pay at this point and the queue behind the two of u is getting impatient lmao

-You whip around blushing “uh yeah that’s everything” u reply stuttering and trying to whip out ur card

-Before you can, Minho’s arm stretches out in front of u and taps the machine in front of you

-Istg u feel butterflies in ur stomach at Minho being in such close contact with u

-U can feel the heat radiating on ur back

-You get ur ice cream and u go to leave the shop but Minho grabs your arm

-U turn to him questioningly to be met with slightly hurt eyes

-Did I do that to him?

-Yes u fool

-“Sit with me. Please?”

-How can you refuse that

-……………

-It’s so awkward

-“Are you okay? Why are you avoiding me? Did something happen? Just let me know if you’re okay?”

-Owo my heart

-“uh,, no nothing’s happening….. I’m just busy u know??? Hahaaha school is really kicking my ass”

-Minho just nods and takes a spoonful of ice cream so u do the same

-“Just let me know if I can help you in anyway, I’m always here for you. Don’t suffer alone, I hate seeing you so down?”

-………….

-…………

-Honestly,,,,, u just about melt at this

-Putting ur spoon down and u look at him

-Now or never, Y/N

-“Okay…. I’ll let you know what’s the real problem. It’s you, mr lee Minho.”

-Minho is SHOCKED why is he the problem

-“uhhhhhh”

-“Please let me finish or else I’ll never have the courage to do this again. You have no right to be stealing my heart yet again by nearly kissing me in the middle of class. Do you know how embarrassing that was, I really just wanted to kiss you and I would’ve combusted if you did but you didn’t which made it worse. Why didn’t you kiss me? I’ve literally been sending you signals for nearly two years, and that’s saying something because I saw you in your awkward teen phase and still liked you, and you haven’t even responded. So I avoided you because my heart keeps stuttering whenever I’m near you I’m surprised you can’t hear it. I mean you’re so hot I just wanna kiss you, especially since that day all I can think about is your lips as you were SO close to me this is the worst time to confess but I really like you Lee Minho.”

-And breathe Y/N

-And Minho is no better

-How dare his crush confess before he can smh

-He sits in shocked silence trying to process this information

-You, however, are dying

-That’s it, he’s not replying he doesn’t like you Y/N LEAVE

-So u try to

-But as you stand up so does Minho

-And his hand shoots out to grab your shirt and he just plants one on you ????? in the middle of a damn ice cream parlour?????

-UWU

-Ur in shock

-The man of your dreams,,,,, kissing you ???? more likely than you think ??? so u kiss him back ??? ofc u do how could you not

-It tastes of matcha and strawberry ice cream and something,,, so inherently Minho u just wanna keep kissing him tbh

-Y’all break apart and honestly,, you sit back down in shock

-“That…. Was some confession Y/N”

-“Shut up!”

-“Hey, it’s okay babe. I like you too. Sorry my confession isn’t as grand as yours but,,,, I like you and always have done”

-….

-Oh

-“So please, Y/N, be my girlfriend” his hand stretches across the table nervously

-You smile as u see his hand creep across the table and you reach for him, intertwining your fingers

-He smiles back even bigger and pulls you out of the shop

-You guys had a lot of time to make up for ajbfaiubsag

-So,,, Monday rocks around and you walk to school with Minho this time, rather than mooching in with headphones in

-You guys walk to your normal spot before school starts and Minho is telling you some story about Felix, Changbin and Hyunjin when u hear a scream and lots of wolf whistles

-Spoiler: it’s Jisung and the lads

-“YOU OWE ME MONEY I TOLD YOU THIS PLAN WOULD WORK THEY’RE HOLDING HANDS! I AM THE DOCTOR OF LOVE, HAN JISUNG”

-You laugh as you take a seat next to him as chan grumbles about his wallet being drained AGAIN by his kids’ appetites

-As the hollering quietened down Jisung taps ur shoulder

-“Sooo, you guys are official now? After years of pining ???”

-Rather than deigning Jisung with a worded response a wicked plan forms in ur head

-You tapped Minho’s shoulder to divert his attention from Seungmin

-As he faced you, you grabbed his tie and pulled him in for a kiss

-He was a little shocked at how brazen you were bc hello this is school and these are ur friends but honestly,,, he freaking LOVED it

-He smiled into the kiss and one hand rested on your waist as the other rested on your jaw pulling you deeper into the kiss

-“there ARE CHILDREN HERE OH MY GOD” u heard chan yell distantly

-You couldn’t help but break apart from Minho, laughing as you catch chan covering jeongin’s eyes in distress

-You turned back to Jisung

-“Does that answer your question?”

America Issa Joke

Paring: WOC!Avenger!Reader x Avengers

Word Count: 3734

Warnings: cursing, angry Steve, brief politics, no citing just stuff I've heard from the news, angst? eventual fluff? Awkwardness?? Idk

Summary: The newest member of the avengers is kinda a rebel punk? Punk in the sense of style and ideals. She isn't patriotic at all and has no filter on that big ass mouth of hers. So what happens when she voices her opinions around Captian America? How will the team react to her outburst? Can the reader make amends?

A/n: I know we all have different opinions and political stances so don't send me hate for this story. I just wondered what would happen if Steve met someone who wasn't patriotic and this is the result. Most readers probably won't be fond of this story because of how the reader is and some things she might say but I think you should still read it, even if you aren't a woc or don't agree with anything being said. Just substitute the reader inserts for a character or a name you, Idk. Remember it's a work of fiction! Just because I wrote this doesn't mean I think like this or whatever. I’m expecting hate for this so show me wrong? Anyways I hope y'all enjoy. Feedback is always appreciated!

You were in the common room that morning when Steve bounded in with a wide smile gracing his lips. Your feet were up on the coffee table and a big bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch was in your hands as you watched some reality tv show Natasha had on. "FRIDAY call the rest of the team to the living room, please." Steve knocked your boots off the table and fixed you with a pointed look after he spoke his request to the A.I. You let out a huff as your combat boots came down with a loud thud and a bit of milk splashed onto your caramel colored arm.

"Nice one Steve," getting up you flipped him the bird and took your bowl to the kitchen sink as the rest of the Avengers started to flood into the common area. Steve ignored your childish antics and clapped his hands together once everyone was in attendance. He bent to pick up the remote and put the tv on mute just as you returned to your seat on the couch. 

"So what is it that you want Cap?" Wanda loosely crosses her arms over her chest and sat next to you. You placed your thick boots back onto the coffee table and looked up at Captain America.

"Yeah Cap 'sup?" He just pushed your boots off the table again and looked around the room, ignoring you completely.

"So as you guys may know the 4th of July is in a couple of days and I was thinking we should throw a patriotic party for the occasion!" Tony looked around the room in pretend shock and placed his fists on his hips as he glanced over at Steve.

"I thought I was the only one that threw parties around here?" The common room erupted with laughter, everyone was laughing except you. It's not that you didn't think the joke was funny, because it was kinda funny, but the situation kind of annoyed you. The 4th of July stood against everything you belived in. The holiday was a totally scam but you didn't speak up. You didn't say anything until Steve went around assigning your teammates roles and errands to prepare for the party.

"...with Bruce. Y/n you'll be in charge of decorating," you snorted and shook your head.

"No bueno Cap. I want no part of this little get together you have planned. Give my job to someone else please." Steve stopped and glanced at you.

"And why is that? Everyone else already has a task. I'm pretty sure they won't have enough time to take care of the decorations on top for whatever else they have to do."

"Well they're just gonna have to find the time because I don't want to be a part of any of this. As a matter of fact I think I might just take a small vacation away from the compound while you guys have your fun." The rest of the room was deadly quiet everyone was so confused. They all knew you could be a little difficult but no has ever seen you this stubborn before and that's saying something. You could be as stubborn as a mule after all.

"Why y/n? What's wrong?" Steve now had concern written across his face. He thought maybe you needed a break or possibly you were homesick. He didn't expect what would come out of your mouth next.

"Why? Why! Because I don't wanna be around to celebrate this shit show of a holiday! There's literally nothing special about it." You scoffed, and glanced at your black painted nails, as if it were obvious from the beginning. Steve frowned and looked over at Natasha in confusion, who in turn just shrugged and also glanced at her nails. Steve looked down at you and placed the clipboard he had picked up on the coffee table, while Vision leaned against the back of the couch to whisper something to Wanda.

"What do you mean y/n? It's the day our nation declared it's independence. How is that not special?"

"You mean a nation built on stolen land and slavery, right? I mean African Americans weren't freed until June 19, 1865 but you don't see that being a national holiday. You don’t see everyone celebrating it. Just some African Americans right?" Tony's eyes widened and Clint took this as his cue to silently leave the room. He was too old to get in the middle of this. Sam smirked from across the other side of the room while Natasha and Wanda just watched on silently.

"Well-" Steve was cut off when you abruptly stood up.

"Well what Steve? Were you gonna say, 'it's not like that anymore.' We may not be stealing land anymore but if I'm not mistaken my black sisters and brothers are being locked up and beat up everyday for the dumbest shit, even though we're-" Your hands came up and made quotation signs in the air -"free. We can't even walk down the street in our own neighborhoods without being antagonized or possibly worse. It's a modern version of slavery if you ask me."

"I-"

"Not only that! But our great nation is locking up children and women in cages who are only looking for a better future. Separating whole families for trying to leave behind a life of misfortune. Aren't we supposed to be the land of opportunity? Oh and don't get me started on our president. Because of that son of a bitch, racists and bigots now think its okay to openly terrioze innocent people again!" Your anger had you seeing red as you stepped closer to Steve, your chests almost touching.

"Y/n-" Tony cleared his throat and stepped closer to the two of you as Wanda and Natasha both stood up. They glanced at one another and nodded in silent agreement. You whipped around in Tony's direction, your dark curls almost whipping Steve in the face. Natasha took that as an opportunity to grab Steve. She had planned to silently lead him out the room but he stood his ground. His jaw was set and he was watching you with an unreadable expression.

"NO TONY! I think he needs to hear this. To actually understand why someone like me wouldn't want to celebrate!" Your hands vibrated and buzzed with energy. Your eyes started to faintly glow. The air was crackling and popping around you with electricity and Tony knew if you didn't calm down a disaster would certainly take place. He always hated when your emotions flared like this. It caused your powers to go haywire. "This country is a joke, most of our holidays are just capitalistic bullshit, this holiday is a joke, we're hypocrites, and everything is going to shit. We're supposed to be the land of the free but are any of us really free? I mean just think about it. America issa joke!" You weren't completely making sense now as your thoughts became a jubbled mess, but Wanda was at your side, and she had softly placed a hand on your shoulder. Her touch grounded you and as she rubbed circles into your back you had started to calm down, your posture softing and eyes returning to normal. You were fine until Steve decided to have a word.

"I understand your frustration but with all due respect y/n I still believe we should celebrate. Yes, America isn't perfect but-" Your temper boiled over again and the glow of your eyes started again and began to pulse. Without thinking your hands rose and a blast of electric energy rippled out of your body and into the air, bursting the lightbulbs and shutting off all power within the compound. The remaining energy pulsed foward like concentrated waves towards him. Of course Steve wasn't suited up so he was shoved backwards, his shield not being there to protect him, his feet dragging across the floor before his body was launched into the wall next to the tv. He fell with a thud and laid in a crumpled mess on the floor. Sam dropped down next to his friend and checked him for signs of injury. Your eyes stopped glowing and closed on their own. You began to fall to your knees and, as Natasha also attended to Steve on the other side of the room, Wanda held onto you as you blacked out.

When you gained consciousness later on you realized you couldn't move. You limbs felt heavy like you were buried in thick syrup. You eyelids felt like sandbags were resting against them and you struggled to open your eyes. Your throat was dry and your lips felt cracked. After a bit of fighting your body your eyes slowly opened. The lights were too bright and you suddenly regretted your decision, your head spun and you felt sick. You were laying in the medical wing of the compound, you could tell that much. You glanced to the side and notice Steve in the bed next to you. A gasp left your mouth and you tried reaching out to him, your limbs still heavy.

You didn't remember much just an argument that happened between the two of you. But every time you tried to remember how it ended your mind went blank and your head began to pound. A dry cough tore from your lips as you kept trying to recall your preveious moments of consciousness even as it pained you. A few minutes later Bruce, Natasha, and Wanda came in. They were talking amongst themselves.

"...emotions are out of control Bruce."

"That isn't fair Natasha she had no idea what she was doing."

"Wanda is right...needs...self-control-"

The conversation soon stopped when Bruce noticed you were awake. He smiled nervously and tilted his head in greeting when he made it to your bedside. "How are you feeling, y/n?"

Your throat closed up and tears welled up in your eyes. "What did I do?" Wanda appeared at your other side. She held your hand in both of hers but refused to answer or even look at you. Out of all the Avenegers, Wanda was the closest to you. She basically took you under her wing when you joined and she was like a big sister to you. So it kinda hurt when she refused to meet your gaze. Did you really mess up that bad? Natasha was tired of the awkward silence so she cleared her throat and began to answer your question since the other two wouldn't.

"Well what's the last thing you remember?"

"I remember Wanda rubbing my back. It calmed me down."

"Well she did but then Steve said something and you went psycho. Blew out all the power and chucked Steve against a wall." You heard yourself gasp and glanced over at Steve again. He was hurt and it was all your fault.

Bruce cleared his throat, "Vision thought you were gonna kill us all. Anyway, the medicine Dr. Cho gave you should be wearing off soon so you'll be able to get up and move."

Your head turned and you face Bruce with a tearful gaze, "is he okay?" Your voice was small and hoarse.

Dr. Banner gave you a sympathetic look and placed a hand on your shoulder, "He's a little bruised up be he should be fine." A breath, you hadn't realized you had been holding, left your lips and you nodded before glancing back at Steve's unconscious form. "When Helen releases you come down to the lab so I can run some tests." He squeezed your shoulder a bit and left the room with Natasha at his side.

The room was unpleasantly silent while Wanda sat with you, drawing patterns against the skin of your hand. "Um..." You watched her with your brow furrowed. "Are you mad at me?" She shook her head and continued tracing patterns. "Why won't you talk to me then. You haven't even looked at me since you came in."

"I'm slightly mad but I know I shouldn't be. You haven't had your powers long after all but I'm also scared y/n."

"I'm so sorry, I didn't-"

"I know I know you didn't but-" she finally looked at you and as you took in the sight of her puffy red eyes you realized she had been crying "-Vision wasn't as sure as me. He's not sure if you should be here anymore." You body stiffened, each muscle tensing up with worry, as your eyes teared up again. "I don't agree with him and he's so angry that he stormed out."

After some reassuring, you got Wanda to calm down as much as you could and she left the medical wing, but the sick feeling in your stomach didn't leave with her. She and Vision got in an argument because of you, Vision left because of you, and not only that but Steve was hurt, and it was all because of you. You laid still for a few minutes before Helen came and checked up on you. When she saw that you were okay she let you leave. Steve still hadn't woken up so you couldn't apologize and you didn't feel like talking to anyone else so you went straight to your room. You knew you were supposed to go to the lab and meet Bruce but your muscles ached and you were drained. You flopped down on your bed and tried not to think of everything that happened in the last 24 hours, somewhere along the line you fell asleep.

When you woke up it was hot and sticky, your curls stuck to your forehead and neck. Your clothes felt tight and uncomfortable and your throat was dry. You sat up and rubbed your eyes just as FRIDAY spoke up, "Good afternoon y/n, Mr. Stark and Dr. Banner request your presence in the lap immediately." You groaned and fell back into the mattress.

"Could you tell them I'm gonna get clean up first?"

"Of course Ms. Y/l/n"

"Thanks FRIDAY."

You went straight to the lab after your shower where Bruce conducted some tests and Tony had a stern talk with you. He basically wanted you to get a control on your mood swings. With that being said he informed you he'd be hiring a yoga instructor to work with you after your training. You argued with him a bit until he threatened to put you on medication, you figured yoga and meditation was better than that. After that was resolved you walked down the halls of the compound. You legs ended up taking you to the common room. You hadn't been here since your argument with Steve. The only person present was Wanda. She was curled up on the couch, her legs tucked underneath her, a light blanket covering her lap. In her hands she held a teacup while a plate full of cookies balanced precariously on her knees. The tv was on playing some type of romcon with Zac Efron in it.

You sat down next to her and stole a cookie off her plate, "Hey Wanda."

"Hello y/n?"

"Did Vision ever come back?" You munched on your cookie. They were Iced Oatmeal cookies so they weren't all that soft but you liked em. Wanda nodded and took a long sip of her tea.

"Have you guys talked?"

"No, he slept in his old room." She rebalanced the plate so it wouldn't fall. You frowned as you finished off your cookies. That wouldn't do at all. You didn't like that they wouldn't talk all behind something you did. It was stupid. Especially when everyone knew how much they love each other. Their love was something young girls everywhere dreamed of, it was literally #goals. You stood up from the couch and brushed off your lap. Snatching the plate and tea cup from Wanda you set them on the coffee table and held your hand out to her.

"Come on, get up."

"Why?"

"I'm gonna fix what I broke." Wanda had a nervous look on her face but you both knew that you were stubborn as a mule so with a shaky breath she took you hand and let you pull her up. You pulled her along as you marched with determination to Vision's room. Your head was held high and your shoulders were squared as you raked your knuckles against his door. For awhile you stood there, listening for movement, and as the seconds ticked by you started to feel unsure of yourself. Wanda looked at you, her bottom lip between her teeth, and pulled your away from the door. Just was you guys were about to leave Vision phased through the wall nearby, effectively scaring the shit out of you. You screamed a bit and cursed under your breath as you clutched at your chest.

"Fuck hell, use the door next time." Vision just ignored you. He was looking at Wanda.

"Is there something you need?"

You rolled your eyes and stepped directly into his lime of sight, "as a matter of fact yes I need something," you hands came to rest at your hips. He finally looked at you, like really looked at you, and tilted his head as if to encourage you to speak.

"Alrighty then-" you cleared your throat and dug the toe of your platinum creepers into the ground "-I just wanted to say that I know what you don't want me here. I know what happened between me and Cap was insane and irresponsible." You glanced up to make sure he was following along. He gave you his undivided attention and with a shake of your head you looked away and continued. "I didn't mean to get out of control of course but that's not an valid excuse. I already agreed to start managing my emotions and Tony is taking care of it so you have nothing to worry about. But the real reason why I came to bug you was to ask you to stop acting this way with Wanda." You looked up again and his face didn't change. You couldn't read him at all. "I know you guys don't agree but it's to be expected. She's my best friend and you're the man she loves. You shouldn't let her choose between the two of us. You're hurting her and I don't wanna watch her in pain. You guys have been through way too much together to let someone as insignificant get in the way of that. Sorry for upsetting you..." You nodded your head to conclude your rambling and looked up at Vision from beneath your lashes.

His gaze shifted to Wanda and back to you. He took a deep breath, "I accept your apology y/n. I may have overreacted. I now know you wouldn't purposely put us in danger and I know how much you mean to Wanda. I apologize as well." He smiled at the end and pulled you into a small hug. After he let you go he pulled Wanda into his arms and kiss the top of her head. You took that as your signal to leave, smiling the whole time.

You were almost back to the living room when you bumped into a hard chest. A gush of air rushed out of your lungs as your ass came in contact with the floor. You groaned and began scrambling to your feet as a hand came down and pulled you up by your shoulders. "Um sorry about that." You looked up and were met with an ocean of blue. Steve Rogers in the flesh, walking and talking, as if you hadn't just knocked him into next week.

"Steve you're up!" You pushed away the mop of curls that had fallen into your eyes when you fell.

"Yeah, just got out awhile ago. I'm still kinda sore," he chuckled awkwardly as he rolled his shoulder a bit.

"Oh"

"I was actually looking for you."

"Well...uh yah found me." You mentally face palmed yourself. This wasn't going how you planned in your head at all. The hall was silent and the tension was thick. You palms grew sweaty and you nervously tugged at the chains hanging from the holes in your leather belt. You took a deep breath and swallowed your nerves.

"I'm so sorry Stev-"

"I'm sorry I-"

A lopsided grin spread across his face as you both realized you spoke at the same time. You tugged on the chains harder, swaying forward on the balls of your feet as you tugged. Steve waited for you to continue as you looked down at your shoes. He cleared his throat, "Um okay then. I just wanted to let you know I'm sorry. I thought about what you said and you're right. I've decided to call off the party." Your head snapped up and your eyes widened.

"No! That's really uneccessary. I was actually going to apologize to you too. It was selfish of me to kill everyone's vibe like that. If you all want to celebrate then go ahead." You nodded furiously and shoved your hands into the front pockets of your crust pants. "And I'll even-" you let out a resigned sigh "-take care of the decorations like you wanted me too."

"Really y/n?" His voice was full of joy.

"Yeah, yeah I will," you looked up and gave Steve a small smile. He pulled you into his arms and hugged you tight, crushing your arms against your side and making it slightly hard to breathe. "Alright alright Get the fuck off Rogers! You're gonna squeeze me to death!" You pretended to be irritated but Steve could tell by the tone of your voice that you were just as happy as he was.
