Marvel Imagines

Steve Rogers- Stroll pt. 2

[I just watched Batman: Under the Red Hood and I'm so much more in love with Jason Todd like oh my god cx]

You like to think of yourself as a good person. Well, a good person who steals- a lot. But that's necessary. You don't exactly have the easiest life, being from the poorer parts of New York and all. So, almost ever night, you slip on your dark hoodie and head to the upper parts of NEW YORK(there, are you happy?).

You find it almost effortless to rob smaller franchises, but tonight you can't go back to your old pattern because that Captain America guy has been hanging around all of those locations.

So now you're in a fancier restaurant, careful to stay out of the light as you drop down from an air vent onto the bar. It's strangely quiet, but you don't think much of it as you hop down and open the cash register.

It's not until you've almost filled up your bag full of money the alarms go off. You curse, roughly zipping up your backpack and crouch down to jump and make it inside of the air vent.

As you crawl through the tight space, you recall the way you had come in and head for that direction. Being stronger than an avenger person has its perks. You couldn't of made it inside without ripping off the locks and all, so you're grateful you at least have that.

But as you hop out of the air vent, bright lights shine on you and the police shout at you to freeze. Great, you think. Just what I need.

You keep your head down as you turn away from them, tightening your backpack straps and look for a way to escape. You then spot an open window at a close building and crouch down.

"I said freeze!"

You roll your eyes, getting ready to jump, but then you're suddenly grabbed by- by Ironman?

"Let go of me!" You shriek, holding up a hand to slam onto his armor, but he grabs your wrist and continues flying to wherever it is he's taking you.

"Honey, we're home!" Tony Stark sets you down and you scramble away, eyes wide with panic as you scan the large room. If you'd jump out of the window now, you'd probably splat onto the sidewalk like a pancake because of how high up you are. So you'd rather not take that chance.

"Took you long enough," Black Widow walks into the room and your throat tightens. You'd take that chance now. "This her?"

"Yup. Cap was very descriptive."

You slowly get to your feet, eyes searching for any sort of weapon to defend yourself but all you come up with is a dead plant.

"She looks.. fragile."

"Trust me, she isn't. Almost tried to rip off my head while I was getting her here."

"Right here," You say, inching towards the plant and decide that the pot would be an okay makeshift knife. "What do you people want?"

"She speaks!" Tony Stark steps forward, Ironman suit opening and he steps out. You almost laugh at how short he is, but refrain from doing so. "Nice to meet you. I'm-"

"I know who you are, Mr. Stark." You say, finally close enough to the plant and you grab the base, taking the pot and crush it in your hands. You pick the largest shard and hold it forward, Tony Stark and the Black Widow staring at you in shock. "Now if you don't mind, I'll be leaving."

"Hey," You look over Black Widows shoulder and see Captain America walking into the room, his hands up. "We're not going to hurt you."

"Right. I feel so much better now." You turn your head to see how far away you are from the glass windows, not at all expecting a knife to shatter the small weapon you had. You glare at Black Widow, taking the knife embedded in the glass and crush it in your hands with ease. When you drop it to the ground in bits, you grab the straps on your bag and get ready to jump. "It's been fun and all, but I've gotta go."

"Wait!"

You pause mid step towards the windows to look at Captain America. "What?"

He forces a smile and you glare, so he drops it and says, "We'd like to help you."

"Help me?"

"Yeah," Tony Stark nods, casually checking his nails. "You know, give you food and shelter. Money and clothes. A job and insurance. That sort of stuff."

You snort. "This is a joke, isn't it?"

"No joke," Black Widow says. "We'd like you to join our team. If you're willing, I mean."

Your eyes find Captain Americas, and you raise an eyebrow. "This your idea?"

He nods. "So, are you in?"
