Avengers Assistant - Avengers x Reader

chapter 10

The room was filled with the soft, early morning light filtering through the curtains. Eleanor blinked groggily, her head throbbing as if it had absorbed all the chaos of the previous night. Her memory was fragmented, and she struggled to piece together the events leading up to her current situation.

As she turned her head to the side, she found herself face to face with Tony Stark, whose eyes were still closed in slumber. His dark hair was tousled, and his expression was surprisingly peaceful. The memories of their soulmate connection flooded back to Eleanor, along with the emotions and revelations they had shared.

Eleanor couldn't help but smile as she watched Tony sleep. Despite all his bravado and the armor he wore as Iron Man, there was a vulnerability to him that she had seen last night, a side of him that he had shared with her and his other soulmates.

She gently traced her fingers along the contours of Tony's face, marveling at the depth of their connection. It was as if their souls had recognized each other, and their hearts had found a common rhythm.

Tony stirred in his sleep, his eyes fluttering open. He blinked for a moment, as if disoriented, before his gaze focused on Eleanor's face. A slow, tender smile spread across his lips.

"Good morning," he whispered, his voice filled with warmth.

Eleanor returned his smile, her heart feeling lighter than it had in a long time. "Good morning."

They lay there for a while, just basking in the comfort of each other's presence. Eleanor felt a sense of contentment she had never experienced before, as if she had found a missing piece of herself in Tony.

Tony reached out, his fingers gently caressing Eleanor's cheek. "I want you to know that you're not just another mate to me. You're someone I deeply care about, someone I want to protect and cherish."

Eleanor's heart swelled with emotion. "And you, Tony, you mean more to me than I can express. I want to be there for you, to support you, and to love you."

Tony leaned in, his lips meeting Eleanor's in a soft, lingering kiss. It was a kiss filled with promises and a shared understanding of the profound connection they had discovered.

As they pulled away, Tony grinned, his eyes dancing with mischief. "So, do you remember anything from last night? Because I have a feeling we might have shared a lot more than just our thoughts."

Eleanor's cheeks flushed as she recalled the flashes of memories – laughter, confessions, and a closeness that went beyond the physical. She chuckled softly. "I have some glimpses, but I think we'll have to piece it all together."

Tony laughed, the sound warm and infectious. "Well, then, I guess we have some detective work to do."

Eleanor blushed and giggled at his implication before being attacked by the massive duvet as Tony smothered her in kisses and hugs. She had never seen Tony like this before, she didnt think anyone had either.

"T-Tony .. I have to go to work today, ok?" Eleanor expressed through a fit of giggles as Tony snuggled closer to her, making his infamous goatee tickle the skin of her exposed neck.

"No you don't, I'm your boss so I decide," he muttered against her neck, holding her closer.

"Tony... you do know that I could work by your side all day, right?" she said with a wink.

Ton's face practically lit up as he rose his head, meeting her eyes.

Eleanor reluctantly extracted herself from Tony's embrace and made her way to the shower, a smile still playing on her lips. She couldn't help but feel a sense of euphoria after the previous night's revelations. It was like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders, and she was eager to face the day ahead.

After getting ready, Eleanor grabbed her laptop and began delving deeper into her research on the Winter Soldier. She was determined to be prepared for her first session with him, to understand the man behind the deadly assassin. The more she learned about Bucky Barnes, the more she empathized with his tragic story.

As she was engrossed in her work, her phone buzzed with an incoming call. Glancing at the screen, she saw it was Nick Fury. Her heart skipped a beat as she answered the call.

"Fury? What's going on?" Eleanor asked, her voice tinged with a hint of nervousness.

Fury's voice was as stern as ever. "Eleanor, I need you to come to the tower immediately. The Winter Soldier has arrived."

Eleanor felt a surge of adrenaline rush through her veins. She had been expecting this, but the reality of the situation was still daunting. "I'll be there as soon as I can."

She quickly closed her laptop, grabbed her things, and made her way to the elevator. Her mind raced with thoughts of what awaited her. The Winter Soldier was a highly trained and dangerous individual, and Eleanor knew that her role as his therapist would not be easy.

As the elevator doors opened onto the Avengers Tower, Eleanor was greeted by the bustling activity of the team. She felt a mixture of awe and nervousness as she looked around at the iconic space. Tony Stark had created something truly extraordinary here.

Eleanor made her way to Tony's lab, where she had been instructed to meet him before her session with the Winter Soldier.

Eleanor walked into Tony's lab, her heart still racing with the excitement of discovering Tony as her soulmate. Her eyes scanned the high-tech equipment and the sprawling workspace that was Tony Stark's domain. She couldn't help but feel a bit out of her depth surrounded by all this advanced technology.

Tony, engrossed in a holographic display, didn't immediately notice her arrival. She cleared her throat to get his attention, and he turned around, a bright grin on his face.

"Ah, Eleanor, perfect timing. This is Dr. Bruce Banner, our resident genius and occasional rage monster."

Bruce, who had been deep in discussion with Tony, turned to face her. His gaze was kind, and his warm smile put her at ease. "Nice to meet you, Eleanor."

Eleanor returned the smile, extending her hand. "Likewise, Dr. Banner."

As they shook hands, Eleanor couldn't help but notice the slight tremor in Bruce's fingers, a hint of vulnerability that made her heart ache. She had read about his struggles with controlling the Hulk, and she admired his strength and resilience.

Tony, always the master of timing, couldn't resist adding to the moment. "Speaking of working together, Eleanor, there's something you should know. Bruce here is also one of our soulmates."

Eleanor's eyes widened in surprise, and she turned her gaze to Bruce. The scientist's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and he shifted uncomfortably under her scrutiny.

Tony, ever the matchmaker, continued with a grin, "Oh, come on, Bruce. It's not every day you meet your soulmate. And hey, maybe you can help Eleanor with her sessions. You're a doctor, after all."

Bruce let out a soft chuckle, though there was still a hint of unease in his expression. "Tony, can we please not discuss this now?"

But Tony was relentless, as always. He walked over to Eleanor, wrapping an arm around her shoulders affectionately. "Don't mind Bruce; he's just a bit shy about this whole soulmate thing. But trust me, it's a game-changer."

Eleanor found herself caught in the middle of their playful banter, a mixture of emotions swirling inside her. On one hand, she was still processing her connection with Tony, and now, she had discovered another soulmate in Bruce. It was a lot to take in.

However, what struck her most was the genuine affection between Tony and Bruce. Despite their differences and occasional disagreements, there was a deep bond of love and trust that she could see in the way they interacted. It was heartwarming.

She couldn't help but smile, feeling grateful for this unexpected turn of events. She had found not one but two remarkable soulmates, and she had a feeling that her journey with the Avengers team was going to be an extraordinary adventure filled with love, friendship, and a fair share of scientific marvels.

As they prepared to discuss her upcoming session with the Winter Soldier, Eleanor couldn't help but feel that she was exactly where she was meant to be.
