thinks about child-but-growing-fast amara and lucifer in the same room and gets ill.
#im gonna get called a homestuck again im SORRY its a good trope#she’s not his mom but she is. older than him and older than god and a being he helped imprison.#and the effects of that. here and now. are that she is so weak she has to relearn how to exist.#that she has to eat souls. tear them out one by one. you have to imagine that lucifer once saw her devour whole galaxies on a whim.#back when everything was moving in constant flux between destruction and creation. you have to imagine.#what is it to see her like this. is it pitiable. awful. comforting because she can’t hurt him right now and if he struck first maybe she#never could?#would he think about this moment this experience later when he’s made human. when he experiences a similar powerlessness.#anyway. lucifer gets out of the cage and trashes crowley’s place to kidnap his aunt-who-is-baby-right-now#u know me i love when characters go on the run together. what a weird little bond they’d form.#how do you overcome the anger at someone who helped cage you for eternity? does it help to know he didn’t escape your fate just because he#helped seal it when it was you? do you think they trade cage stories.#do you think lucifer tells her about how michael is still trapped in there and when he goes quiet. it’s not him who says he’s glad michael#knows what it’s like. it’s amara who says it. with an anger older than time. bitter enough to sting.#arms curled around herself because she’s hungry now. always hungry. tries not to think about what lucifer would taste like. (powerful)#sitting on a bench together watching people (souls. meals.) walk by. talking about prisons. talking about justice. maybe. or revenge. same#thing. and amara is leaning against him coiled tight through every muscle in her body and so so hungry. and when she says she’s glad michael#is suffering she isn’t really talking about him. but when she says it. lucifer lets out a breath. and says. me too.#and then he goes to find her something(one) to eat.#u see my vision. u do.

Becoming Me (Avengers x Reader) Part 3/?
Tumblr media
Warnings: Maybe swearing?
Ft: Fury, Agent Maria
Excluding: Thor (since he is off at Asgard now)
Summary: After your little talk with Fury, you have been broken down. Thinking about past choices you realize your wrongs. You face a new challenge though as you are brought out of your cell, but for what reason?
A/N: So here is Part 3. I hope you enjoy it and let me know if you want to be tagged in the next Part! Btw gif is not mine! Love you and enjoy!
Part 1/Part 2 /Part 3/Part 4/ Part 5/ Part 6/ Part 7/ Part 8  
It’s been a few days since Fury has talked to you. You haven’t seen a single soul since. When you wake up, you see your meal and a new set of clothes on a bench. Nothing more and nothing less. It was lonely and agitating being stuck in this room, but you thought you deserved it for what you did.  
It is now the 5th day and you are sitting on your bed eyes closed. The door opens and close, you open one eye and see Natasha Romanoff there. You close your eyes tightly, not paying her any attention. Suddenly some clothing hits you in the face and falls straight into your lap. You open your eyes to see a suit made of black leather kind of material. “Get changed.” Natasha states as you hold up the suit to see it’s just like a catsuit. 
“Why?” You ask standing up with ease. You have your back turned to her as you unbutton the prison like white suit and let it fall to your feet. You don’t get a response, so you continue to get undressed. Stepping out of the pool of clothing at your feet, you start putting on the suit. The suit fit your form perfectly.
“Good. It fits.” Natasha states when you turn around. “Hands out.” She commands with the same handcuffs from the first day. You outstretch your arms and put your wrists close together to help. She snaps the handcuffs on with ease. You don’t bother struggling since you know what you did.
“I”m sorry, Romanoff. I’m sorry if I caused you any pain or trouble.” You state looking down at your hands as she continues to make sure they are secure. She stops when she hears your apology and looks at you curiously. She walks behind you and pushes you forward gently. 
“Let’s go.” Natasha commands and you sigh letting your head bow as you walk. She pushes you along gently. When you are in the hallway, you let your head up to watch where you are going. 
“Isn’t that-” an agent starts to say to the person next to them. 
“Yup. Real trouble has been caused from her.” The other agent states and you sigh looking down at your feet again. You guys continue to make your way to who knows where. Once you get out of the elevator, Natasha walks alongside you. Natasha holds out her arm and stops you as you both reach a set of double doors. You look at Natasha with a curious look on your face. All you wanted to do was face your punishment and just pay for what you did.
“In favor of the apology,” Natasha turns looking at you with the same serious look she always wears. “Good luck.” She whispers and you give her a confused look with your eyebrows knitted together slightly.  She’s already turned around and is opening the door. She gestures for you to walk and you do. You look around the room and see a long meeting like table set in the middle of the room. Sitting all around the table are the Avengers looking unimpressed by your presence, but who can blame them.  At the head of the table is Nick Fury himself along with an agent beside him. 
“Agent Romanoff, thank you.” Fury thanks Natasha with a nod of his head. All eyes were on you as Natasha takes a seat between Cap and Dr. Banner. “Miss Y/L/N come on in.” Fury gestures to the other head of the table. You take a few steps further into the room, your hands shaky, as you are now standing at the opposite head of the table looking directly at Fury. Your heart beats fast and you are sweating slightly now. At your end of the table is Tony and Barton, who look at you with menacing looks. You avoid any eye contact with anyone besides looking at Fury. “You are probably wondering why you are here.” Fury more states then asks.
“Kind of, but I have a few ideas of why I’m here.” You answer unemotionally.
“You’ve worked with over a dozen people and groups, but there is one that is a bigger pain in the neck over them all.” Fury clicks a remote and a picture of a few ninjas and you are on the tv screen above his head. “The Hand, I believe you’ve captured someone for them, Dr. Merman.” 
“I remember them. Yes. Dr. Merman studies unnatural biological changes in people like me.” You state unemotionally and then it clicks in your head. “They wanted me to build the machine, but I refused to. I tried to get Dr. Merman and I out of there, but Dr. Merman ended up on a plane to Japan by the time I realized my mistake.” Fury nods his head towards Barton, who pushes a manila folder in front of you. You open it and feel the handcuffs tighten. You ignore the pain as you look at the blurry pictures of the Hand receiving various crates and sneaking out.
“They are building the machine in Japan. Somehow they received a set of blueprints of your machine from HYDRA-” You cut Fury off. 
“There is no way they got those unless...” You flip through the file and feel the handcuffs tightening. You finally find what your looking for. “She is the reason why they have the blueprints.” You state holding up the file with the picture of the scientist that was working alongside you, but her face was hidden and she was wearing baggy clothes. “This is Teresa Hanson. We were both kidnapped by HYDRA since we were the top of our class.” You set the files down and that’s when the cuffs start to get even tighter.
“Teresa Hanson, studied at Harvard, second of her class. Went missing the same time you did, Miss Y/L/N.” Fury states bringing up her class ID picture on the TV screen. 
“She is a very paranoid and smart person, so she wouldn’t give herself up that easily.” You reason. “She was more then willing to help HYDRA build the machine, but they wanted me more then her. She wasn’t really happy that HYDRA saw me as more or an asset  then her. She’s grown to hate me. She told the HYDRA commander about my sabotage plan, but I already set it off before then.” The memories come back to you.
“I thought we were in this together, Teresa!” You yell at her as you hold your sister behind you. 
“Well you thought wrong. You picked the wrong side. Have fun dying!” Teresa yells at you before running off with the other agents and notebook in hand. 
“Well the machine has been built and we need to take it down before it makes some monsters.” Fury states before looking over at you. “Ready to go on a mission, Y/N?” 
“WHAT?!” Tony yells standing up, you jump back at the suddenness and that’s when the cuffs have started to draw blood. 
“Stark. She knows more about this case then any of us.” Fury stands up then and walks over to you. 
“We don’t even know if we can trust her!” Fury takes your handcuffed wrists gently as you almost cry from the contact. Taking a key out he undoes your cuffs, and once they are released you lean against the wall behind you before rubbing your raw wrists gently to release some pain.
“She gave up information willingly, didn’t try to use her powers and endured that much pain without a complaint.” Fury reasons which makes everyone look at you. “She has earned her second chance with me.” Fury states before handing you a handkerchief. You decline it kindly, knowing they’ll heal soon, before looking at the group of Avengers. 
“I’m sorry for all the trouble I’ve caused over the years. I have nothing or no one to blame, but myself and poor decision making. I don’t want your forgiveness nor am I asking for it. All I am asking is that you let me help you with this one mission. Teresa doesn’t know what she’s doing and I want to help bring her in.” You state turning around, but wanting to say one more thing. You turn back around. 
“One more thing, I am not the only one in this room that has made some poor decisions. All I am asking for is a second chance.” You turn to Fury with a sigh. “Can I go back to my cell?” You ask which makes Fury nod his head at you. He gestures for Agent Maria, the agent that was standing beside him earlier to come over. You hold out your wrists for the cuffs. 
“You don’t ne-” Fury starts to say, but you shake your head. Looking at your almost healed wrists.
“Just put them on.” He nods his head and puts the cuffs on your wrists loosely. Agent Maria pushes you a little rough towards the door. You stumble for a minute before walking ahead knowing your way back to your cell. You would push you a little too rough when you went too slow for her.

You are sat on your bed in your room back in your white prison uniform with the black suit on your bedside table. Playing with the sleeves stitching you hear the doors opening. Looking up you see Captain, himself, walking in, but you look back at your sleeves. “Came in here to get some answers?” You ask looking at him through your eyelashes. 
“I want to ask you a few questions before I make my own decision.” Steve states and you nod your head understandingly still looking at him through your lashes. He sighs and grabs a chair in the middle of the room. He takes a seat slowly before looking at you. “Why didn’t you tell anyone about HYDRA?” he asks you. 
“HYDRA was hunting me down, but I was able to drop a few hints to Fury. From what I heard, he figured out my hints.” You state nonchalantly. He nods his head and looks down at his lap. You look down at yours playing with your sleeves.
“I’ve heard your story, but why help all those criminals?” He asks you kindly and you sigh. You sit straighter and give him your full attention. 
“Let me help you understand my predicament.” You state before taking a deep breath in. “You’ve lost your best friend that was like a brother to you, yes? His name was James ‘Bucky’ Barnes.” You ask, but know. He nods his head while looking at his feet. “Losing him you had people there to support you and help you make decisions and you were surrounded with goodhearted people. You know my story about my parents verbally abusing my sister and I. After I lost my sister, all I had was this vengeful feeling and no one to tell me right from wrong. I have always been surrounded by darkness. When your at your weakest points in life that is when the darkness consumes you.” You end your speech with a tear falling from your eyes.
The silence sweeps the room makes the tension build. Your tear dried on your cheek and Captain looking at you. He stands up looking around the room, his gaze stops on the uniform on your bedside table. He picks it up and holds out his hand for you to take the uniform. “Well it’s about time to let the darkness within you to disappear.” He states and you stand up taking the uniform. “Get dressed, we are leaving in 15.” He informs you walking towards the door. 
“Wait!” You call out to him. He turns around looking at you curiously. “Thank you for giving me a chance.” You thank him with a slight bow of your head. You look up and he nods his head curtly at you before walking out of the room.
