Shadow Of Darkness: Avengers x Male Reader

Chapter 105: Turkish Delight

"Donya Madani. She's a refugee, yeah." Sam spoke to Torres on the phone. They were back on the jet and high up in the clouds again. "Okay, call me if you get a hit." The man fell down into his seat in exhaustion.

Bucky glanced across at him. "You okay?"

"Yeah. Just thinking about all the shit Sharon had to go through. And Nagel referring to the American test subject like Isaiah wasn't even a real person." Sam sighed in irritation. "Just makes me wonder how many people have to get steamrolled to make way for this hunk of metal."

"Well, it depends on who you ask. That hunk of metal saved a lot of lives." Bucky tapped his hand against his chair.

"Yeah, I get that. All right. Maybe I made a mistake." Sam muttered.

"You did." Bucky agreed.

"Yeah. Maybe I shouldn't have put it in a museum. I should have destroyed it." Sam corrected. His eyes locked on Bucky's and he didn't notice (Y/N) shifting in what was presumed to be his sleep.

"You're not just wrong, you're stupid." (Y/N) exhaled, his eyes flickering open to prove he hadn't been asleep at all. "That shield represents a lot of things. You'd be a fool to destroy it. The world is upside down and Walker sure as hell ain't the new Cap."

"I'll take it from him myself if I have to. You aren't destroying it." Bucky glared at him. The room became tense as Zemo returned to find them in silence. At least until (Y/N)'s phone vibrated. He pulled it from his pocket and checked it before standing up.

"I'll be back." He muttered, walking down through the cabin to the bottom of the jet. When he was just far enough away that they could still see but not hear him, he answered the call and put the phone to his ear.

"What's up?" He asked.

"Hey, uh, (Y/N). Is this a good time?" Peter's voice crackled out in his usual nervous tone.

"I'd be lying if I said yes. What's wrong?" He leant against the cabin wall in curiosity. It was an odd time to be getting a call.

"Well, it's a funny story actually. So, like I said, I was going on a trip to Europe, right? So, we went to Venice and we were having a really great time. I bought M.J the black dahlia necklace I was gonna get her, but then I got attacked by this... water monster thing. But there was like a magician there and he was really nice and helped me fight it off. Then I found out Mr. Fury was there, and he gave me Mr. Stark's glasses and so-"

"Peter, Jesus Christ. I asked what the problem was. I didn't ask for your life story. Just get to the main issue." (Y/N)'s stance wavered as if he was going to fall from the overload of information.

"I nearly killed my classmate. Now Mr. Fury basically just hijacked our vacation so that I can help fight these elemental monsters. I asked Fury if maybe Doctor Strange or Captain Marvel could help, but they're busy." Peter's voice fluctuated as he took a few quick breaths.

"Let's just backtrack a little. You nearly killed your classmate?" (Y/N) squinted.

"Yeah, but it was accidental." Peter said simply. "Look, I really need your help."

"That's all well and good, Peter, but I'm busy. I'm trying to stop super soldier vigilantes... and also maybe rob Captain America, but that part doesn't matter." (Y/N) coughed into his palm, pretending he hadn't said the last part.

"Wait, what?" Peter's confusion was clear.

"Look. You're Spider-Man. You don't need other people to get the job done. I trust you, man." (Y/N) paused as Peter waited intently.
