The Demigod From Asgard - A Steve Rogers x Reader Story

Chapter 77: The Fives Stages to Moving On

"Steve-" Nat says gently taking a couple of steps towards him.

"Leave it Natasha" Steve snaps glaring up at her.

"Fine, you know where I am when you need me" Nat sighs holding her hands up and walking out of the labs.

Steve sighs running his hand over his face before turning back to the computer and continuing with his work.

He continued on for another couple days before Nat started interfering. First she set a timer on the computer in the lab so it would turn off after 6pm. Then she would tell Friday to block anything about the Infinity stones on the tablet he used. Then she locked the lab, when Steve tried other labs he found information on the stones blocked on them too.

"Romanoff!" Steve yells storming into the common room where she was looking over a hologram.

She sighs when she sees him, crossing her arms over her chest as she waited for what he had to say.

"How dare you lock my access! I'm trying to fix this, get them back and you're stopping me!" Steve growls pointing at her accusingly.

"Because we can't Steve! We can't bring them back! I know how desperate you are and I'm sorry! But there's people who are still around that need our help!" Nat snaps pointing at the hologram.

"This can't be the end" Steve states his voice breaking.

"It is, I'm sorry Steve I really am, if I could do something to bring them back I would but I can't, because there's nothing I can do, all I can do is help those who need it right now" Nat sighs walking over and putting a cautious hand on his shoulder.

"JJ needs you right now, you need to be here for him, not being left in his play pen all day while you work" She continues, Steve dropping his head in shame.

When he glances back up he looks around the room, his breath catching when he sees you stood in the corner. He gulped as he watched you look back at him sadly, arms crossed over your chest.

"She's right Steve" you'd tell him softly.

He has to look away, taking a shuddering breath as he screws his eyes shut. When he opens them again he looks over to where you were stood, seeing just an empty space.

"I'm sorry Nat, I just can't believe she's gone" Steve apologises looking back at Nat.

"Its okay, I'm having a hard time with it to, we're not used to- to not winning, but we need to focus our attention on those we can help, because there's so many that do" Nat sighs shaking her head.

"Thanks Nat" Steve sighs giving her a weak smile.

"It's nothing, I'm sure giving you a kick up the ass is part of the god mother duties" Nat says with a weak chuckle, sniffling slightly.

"He's very lucky to have you" Steve sniffles.

"I'm here for you too" Nat reminds him.

"Thanks Nat" Steve smiles hugging her.

As he looks over her shoulder he spots you again but this time you were smiling and giving him a thumbs up.

Steve was sat outside with JJ watching as he played with the grass and the toys. Steve occasionally stepping in to stop JJ from eating dirt.

Playtime was disrupted when the jet flew overhead landing a short distance from them. Steve looked over to see the door open and Nat walk out. Even from this distance Steve could tell something was wrong. When she glanced over Steve gave her a small wave gesturing for her to come over.
