The Demigod From Asgard - A Steve Rogers x Reader Story

Chapter 39: Firecracker Girlfriend

You furrow your brows slightly trying to work out if he was joking or not. As far as you were aware he didn't have a girlfriend. He said so himself.

"Any of your old contacts come through?" Steve asks.

"Still waiting" Clint answers.

"Wait faster" Steve says before the two of you carry on towards the lab.

"I thought he didn't have a girlfriend" Steve says quietly to you.

"That's what I thought" you say glance over your shoulder at Clint.

As the two of you walk into the labs you see Nat and Tony at the computer talking to Rhodey. You then notice Thor walking down the stairs into the lab.

"Any help from on high?" Steve asks as Thor walks over.

"Heimdall's either away from his post or he's been ordered not to answer" Thor sighs.

You look over at him confused "why would father order him not to respond" you question.

"I don't know, but hopefully with good reason either way Ultron can't hide forever we'll find him" Thor says as the three of you walk over towards Nat and Tony.

"Well he's not exactly hiding" Steve says passing Thor the tablet.

"What's this?" Tony asks walking over.

"It's a message" you say as Thor slaps the tablet into Tony's chest.

"Ultron killed Strucker" Steve explains.

"And he did a Banksy at the crime scene just for us" Tony comments looking down at the tablet.

"This is good" Nat says as Tony put the tablet down.

"No that's not good" Bruce says shaking his head at her.

"He's showing us his hand, this isn't his pattern. Why send a message when you've just given a speech?" She points out.

"Strucker knew something Ultron wanted us to miss" Steve sighs.

"I bet he...yeah look everything we had on Strucker has been wiped" Nat says as she taps away at the computer.

"Not everything" you say glancing over at Tony.

"Yeah it looks like your old fashioned habits might pay off" Tony agrees.

"Well when I said technology is evil, it wasn't an invitation for you to prove me right" you say crossing your arm over your chest.

"You're not gonna drop that are you?" Tony sighs.

"Nope, everyone let go grab a box" Steve says walking off towards the archives.

Soon enough everyone has gathered in one of the larger and nicer conference rooms. Boxes of files from SHIELD and intel the Avengers had gathered over the years. Everyone sifting through the files trying to find something of importance. It was a long, painstaking process that took a large majority of the day.

"Known associates" Steve sighs putting a box down on the table.

"Baron Strucker had a lot of friends" you comment as Steve passes out a couple files to you and Bruce.

"Well these people are all horrible" Bruce mutters as he flips through the file.

"Wait I know that guy" Tony says pointing to the file in Bruce's hands.

"From back in the day, he operates off the African coast, black market arms" Tony explains as Bruce passes him the file.

"There are conventions all right? You meet people I didn't sell him anything" Tony says when he sees the look you and Steve gave him.
