Static Verse Masterlist

Pairings: Bucky Barnes x Stark!Reader (endgame), Steve Rogers x Stark!Reader, Tony Stark x Stark!Reader (siblings), Past Peggy Carter x Stark!Reader (brief, one-sided), Natasha Romanoff x Stark!Reader (shameless flirting)

Summary: Tony Stark's sister's a fucking badass, codename—Static. Here's her story through the MCU.

(These scenes incorporate y/n into the pre-existing story as a character without making drastic changes to the plot or mythos. All the major plot points from the MCU remain in place with the addition of the reader as Static, who is not only a Stark but also enhanced. Whatever events from the canon aren’t mentioned, take place without much change.)

All of these are complete stories in and of themselves but fun to read together if you'd like. Or you could follow my suggested reading order

Warnings: Swearing, Canon Typical Violence, NSFW content tagged in the particular chapter.

In order of release—

The Falcon, The Winter Soldier and Static

A series of scenes with y/n (Static) during the events of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. Wherein she’s a somewhat retired superhero, doing a solid for the boys, while coping with the aftermath of losing her only family, Tony Stark.

Age of Ultron (ft. Static)

When Ultron strikes against the Avengers using the Maximoff kids, the visions that Wanda shows Y/n Stark makes her lash out and use her powers—powers that her team didn’t know about. This is the aftermath.

Static: Get, Set, Glitch

Following the events of The Falcon, The Winter Soldier, and Static several people from Static’s past make their way back into her life. One of them just so happens to be her ex, America’s Ass; Steve Rogers. How will she deal with Steve’s return, her fragile yet burgeoning new relationship with Bucky Barnes while simultaneously fighting off demons from her past?

Static Verse Snippets

Just some snippets from Static Verse that didn't make it into concrete fics but are fucking important anyway.

Iron Man 1 (ft. Static)

Tony’s standing at the press conference, contemplating whether or not he should tell the world he is Iron Man. What does his (secretly an alien with cool powers, codename: Static) sister have to say about it?

Bucky Barnes, the Boyfriend

Set somewhere around the events of The Falcon, The Winter Soldier, and Static and Static: Get, Set, Glitch, these are small stand—alone snippets with Bucky and his girlfriend (who’s not only enhanced but also a Stark and an Avenger; codename—Static) being hopeless idiots in love.

The Avengers (ft. Static)

The events of the Avengers take place but Tony’s sister’s, y/n (yet to be codenamed—Static) is there to participate in the action.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (ft. Static)

The events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier take place but Tony’s sister, y/n (yet to be codenamed—Static) has to become a reluctant participant and she fucking hates every second of it.

Avengers: Infinity War (ft. Static)

The events of the Avengers: Infinity War happen. Thanos comes bringing reckoning along with him. And Tony’s sister, Y/n (codename—Static) is right there next to her team, ready to fight.

Avengers: Endgame (ft. Static)

The events of the Avengers: Endgame happen. Y/n (codename—Static) get blipped away. And for a while Tony makes peace with it but then Steve shows up to his door and he discovers time travel. So how can he not at least try to bring her back?

Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been?

The last thing Bucky expects is for Y/n to side with Steve on the matter of killing the man who tortured him into becoming the Winter Soldier.

The Sound of Silence and Static

Y/n Stark gets charged with the murder of former Lieutenant General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross. Only one problem, she didn't do it. Here's the story of how the gang, which includes Y/n Stark, Bucky Barnes, Sam Wilson, Steve Rogers, Joaquin Torres, and Harley Keener solve the whole thing in time for Bucky and Y/n to get their 'happy ever after'.

Captain America: Civil War (ft. Static)

The events of Captain America: Civil War happen but Tony’s sister, y/n (codename—Static) stands in the eye of the storm, with her brother on one side, and her boyfriend on the other.

Iron Man 2 (ft. Static)

The events of Iron Man 2 take place, however, Y/n (yet to be codenamed - Static) is there alongside her brother, confused and annoyed.

A Shot In The Dark: Chapter 2:Civil War

After what seemed like a 10 hour plane ride, you had spent the morning with Rhodes going over what would happen if Steve Rogers didn't give up what was known as the "winter solider".

You really didn’t care about the drama that was going on in the “Avengers”, but Tony Stark is a little bit hard to pass up.

“You don’t fly huh?” Rhodes asked.

You shook your head no.

“So how you gonna to the airport?” he said

“Um.. walk?” you replied.

Rhodes sighed and placed a hand to his temple, “Tony knows how to pick them. Have you met Peter? He’ll be here soon.

About an hour passed when Tony and who you assumed Peter was, and the prince of Wakanda walked in. Now that all you were together, Tony went over some logistics.

“No, you are not gonna stroll up” Tony said to you after Rhodes told him about your conversation. ‘We got to show strength and power. How else are they gonna take you seriously.”

“Fine, I have something else” you said.

Tony continued detailing his plans, tell you what you had to do and where you had to be.

“You two stay here, grown ups have some talking to do” Tony said and left the room, leaving you and Peter.

You and Peter got alone quick. You two lived on opposite sides of the country, but shared the same interest. He loved science and asked you about how Cal-Tech is and asked you how you got your powers and what you could do. He’s a pretty smart kid and quickly picked things up. No wonder Mr. Stark brought him along. He told you about his suit, how Tony gave it to him and then showed you his spinning webs that helps him “swing and get stuff”.

“Mr. Stark is supposed to have made me a suit too.” you told Peter.

“Oh Man, that’s gonna be totally awesome” Peter smiled.

Tony walked back in the room.

“Ok kids, suit up. Liz, your suits should be at your hotel rooms already. Be at the airport 1pm sharp.” Tony said sternly and walked out the door again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When you arrived to your hotel room, a large silver case was waiting for you on your bed. You walked up to it and noticed a blue panel on top of the case. You assumed he case opened biometrically. You placed your hand on the panel and sure enough it opened.

You pulled out a black body suit with pink and black body suit and black boots, you got ready and prepared to head over to the airport.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Arriving to the airport you met up wit Tony and told you to get ready. On his mark you were going to come in.

You fashioned a pink platform, just big enough for you to stand on and waited for your cue.

You heard it, the words you were waiting for you took a deep breath and with your powers you moved the platform you were standing on, moving you as well. You reached Tony and moved the platform near the ground. You took a step off and the platform disappeared.

You faked importance. Honestly you don’t know why you were even there.

Tony and Steve were arguing about something, it not like you were paying attention anyways. You were staring at the man standing right next to Steve. He was perfect. You were studying his face intently when you heard Tony yell "Underoos" Peter had taken Cap's shield. Peter seemed a bit nervous and was stuttering his words.

Tony sighed, "remind me not to bring my kids next time".

"You’ve been busy. I see you've been doing some recruiting." Steve said.

Tony and Steve continued to argue, finally Tony had had enough and demanded Steve turn over Barnes.

All of a sudden you saw an arrow flying towards Steve. You heard Peter yell something and then out of nowhere a man appeared and took Captain America’s shield.

“Got two in the terminal” Rhodes said.

“What do we do” you heard Peter ask.

“What we discussed” Tony said.

You ran to the nearest terminal where Rhodes said. When you entered you noticed two men running towards the other side of the terminal. They are about 50 ft ahead of you. Peter is currently on the roof and broke through the glass. Peter knocked down one of the men, you assumed was Falcon and went in to punch Barnes. You noticed Barnes caught Peter’s hand in midair. You weren’t going to let anything happen to Peter. You were close enough to be able to hit Barnes. Your hands were plasma cannons, they start to glow a light pink and with no effort threw plasma directly onto Barnes’s chest pushing him down. Falcon got up and took Peter up in flight.

Bucky gets up and turns to you. He looks you up and down. "I don’t want to hurt you" he says " Oh my god, that’s so great" you say sarcastically. You smirked at him, "But Mr. Stark promised to fund my entire PHD project if I stop... whatever you're up to. And 5 million dollars is 5 million dollars." He smirks back at you and quickly changes facial expression back to serious. He pulls his metal hand back and makes his hand into a fist. You duck out of the way of his punch and again kicked him in the knee. This time it only caused him to stumble a couple steps back. You stood up, your eyes were now glowing pink. You mad your hands start glowing and from the plasma in your hands you fashioned two batons. Your favorite were daggers, but you're trying to stop him, not kill him. You stared at his feet, back at him then back to his feet. You take your right foot and step over you left. He moved with you and moved to his left. You took a step forward, but he didn’t move. "What are you doing?" he asked. "Learning your combat style" you said. Right when you said that you lunge forward and hit him with one of the batons. He stumbles back a little and smirks at you. You step forward and again to try hit him with one of your batons. This time he grabbed it in his hand. "It only works for me" you said and phased the baton through him. You saw the surprised look on his face and took this time to use his knee as a step, whip around behind him and take hold of the other baton in two hands across his neck.

He immediately puts all his body weight on you and slams you into the floor. You groan in pain. Bucky is laying on top of you and turns around as to check on you. He gives you a smile and starts to get up. You wrap both your legs around his waist, grab the fabric at his chest and pull him forward and flip him over you head. You're now straddling him and place the baton at his neck.

"Stop flirting with her and kick her ass" you heard Sam over his earpiece You smile and press the baton a little harder on his neck. You see his metal arm reach up and grab you at the neck. "Buy me dinner first" you said and put more pressure against his neck causing him to do the same against yours. You release your grip of one of your hands off you baton and place it on the cold metal arm. Pink static rises from your hand. Bucky realized what you were doing and fearing you would completely fry his arm, pushed you off him and stood up. "You're electromagnetic?" he asked. "I can do a lot more" you said. You were too focused on Barnes to realized Peter and Sam have been making a mess. They blew a whole though the building. "Mr. Stark is definitely not taking us anywhere ever again." you thought. Peter then webbed up Sam's suit, grabbed him and slammed him into Bucky that was standing a couple feet in front of you. "You were taking way to long" Peter said. "Well I didn't want to hurt anybody" you stated as the both of you walking towards the big hole in the side of the building.

Peter started talking to Sam and Barnes, who were on the floor below all webbed up. Sam used one of his drones to pull Peter out one of the wholes they blew on the side of the building.

You leaned over to see Sam and Barnes on the floor below you. You made eye contact with Barnes and smirked at him before heading out to see if Peter was okay.

You went outside to see that Peter had webbed up the drone that took him away. You both saw everyone gathering again.

“Hold on” Peter said you. With one hand he slinged a web around yours and with the other he slinged and swung you both back into the middle of the fight. Peter let go of you and you landed right next to Rhodes.

Captain America started running towards. It’s gonna be a full on fight now. You followed Ironman’s lead and started running towards them. You started fighting, using your plasma cannons, trying to slow them down.

All of a sudden a 60 ft man appeared and grabbed Rhodes.

“We’re fucked” you said out loud.

“Language” you heard Tony say through the comms.

Peter managed to Ant-man down with a move he learned from Star Wars. Peter was thrown and you ran over to see if he was okay. Tony had the same idea.

“You two are done, stay down.” He said to both of you.

You sat on the floor next to Peter and asked if he was okay. You and Peter see a jet take off followed by Tony and Rhodes.

You then see Vision shoot a beam into the air. You looked up into the air and see that it hit someone and that someone was now hurtling to the earth.

“Oh my god” you said standing up. “Pull up. PULL UP’’

Peter noticed the panic in your voice, he turned to look, but Rhodes had already hit the ground.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You were sitting next to Rhodes’s hospital bed reading when he awoke.

“Tony went after Steve and Bucky” you told him.

He groaned and tried to sit up.

“I’m really sorry” you said.

“No, no” he responded, “It was not your fault, it was this stupid fight, all for nothing. They still got away”

“ It was a stupid fight” you said, showing what you were reading to Rhodes. It was a copy of the Sokovia accords.

“I know I’m not always correct, but I’m pretty damn smart. And I know it wouldn’t have worked. Maybe for you or Tony, or for those of you who are still human. People...people don’t look at us like were human anymore. They’re scared of us. And that isn’t a good enough reason to have political rule over us. In reality, we are much more human than they will ever be. We have to make the decision of what is right and what is wrong. I get it. We play god, right? Who deserves our help and who doesn’t. But why should they get to decide? Those people, do not own me or my powers. Do you think the Sokovia accords is going to stop someone who creates evil? Mass destruction on a unprecedented scale? New York was child’s play. You, above all, should know we are not alone in this universe. And the Sokovia accords will not protect anyone he comes. And when, not if, when he comes, you’re gonna wish you never signed them”

You stood up.

“I’m really glad you’re alive.... and Mr. Stark can keep his money” you sighed and left the room without another word.

Nothing like Home: Chapter 9 (Steve x Reader)

Chapter 9 (Nothing Like Home)

Steve x Reader x (Angsty Steve Rogers!)

Summary: Takes place a year after The Winter Soldier, before the emergence of Ultron. Steve is struggling with the notion of not being able to find Bucky. Reader tries to get Steve out of his depression and help him find Bucky. It doesn’t go well. Events of Ultron will feature.

A/N: Everything starts to go to shit for the next few chapters. (this chapter is a little slow, I do apologize, but I promise the next chapter gets better)

Word Count: 3489 -Its long!

Warnings: None

You were running faster and harder than you have ever ran across the shipping yard, dashing between containers trying to locate any mode of travel you could. Suddenly you saw it, the Quinjet, the door left open. Again, you hear hulk roar in the distance, you knew something had gone terribly wrong because there iron legion robots flying all over the place, gun fire taking place. You raced up to the quinjet and bolted inside, it was empty, you quickly located a spare comms earpiece and put in it.

“Tony? Steve?” You called over the comms, there was static for a moment then Clint responded.

“Y/N?!” he exclaimed, “Where the hell are you?!”

“In the quinjet?”

Clint actually laughed over the comms, “Listen everyone is in bad shape, Bruce is hulking out, I need your help getting the team back to the jet? Can you do that?”

“Clint, I don’t know…” you began but he cut you off

“Y/N now is not the time, I don’t know what happened, but the team is falling apart here I’m going to need you.” He said almost snapping at her,

You sighed and then listened to his instructions, he told you to start up the jet and bring it to where he was, he needed to get everyone out of there. As you did so you heard Tony over the comms yelling at Clint that he needed Natasha for a lullaby because Bruce was losing control, but Clint quickly explained that it wants going to happen.

When you saw Clint bringing Natasha out of the ship, your heart dropped. She looked like hell, her face was pale, and her eyes glassed over. Behind her Thor, and Steve walked out slowly, dazed looking confused. You rushed off the quinjet towards Clint, but he pointed to Steve and Thor, “Help them” he ordered.

You rush towards Steve, in his dazed state he looks at you with a shocked look. “Y/N” he breaths as you wrap an arm around his waist letting him lean on you, “I got you Cap,” You say quietly. Thor seemed fine to walk just shaken up, all of you climb back onto the jet no one asks anything about where you had been or what had happened. They all looked terrified, and over the comms you hear the commotion with Tony and Bruce, you ask if he needs help, but he says it better if you all just wait for him to bring Bruce in with Veronica.

You and the team waited an agonizing half an hour before Tony finally calls for the jet to meet him near Johannesburg in South Africa, Clint pilots the jet, ready to get everyone as far away from this mess as possible.

(A couple of hours later)

The team arrived at Clint’s ‘safe house’, turns out he had a whole other life beyond the avengers. You were kind of jealous of him, he lived this normal life and yet still managed to be an Avenger. A part of you wished for normality but another part of you knew this life wasn’t destined for you.

You were sitting outside on the porch holding an ice pack on the large bump at the back of your head, Clint had given you a few stitches on the wound but that still didn’t help the throbbing pain that pulsed through your skull.

“How are you feeling?” A voice behind her, it was Steve.

You don’t turn around to face him, you just shrug “Been better” was your curt response. After the vision you had seen you were terrified to look Steve in the eye, even though you knew he couldn’t know what you would do, or what you had done you still couldn’t face the super solider.

Steve sat next to you, still wearing his cap suit. He removed his shield from its clip on his back and placed it in front of him, so it was resting on his knees. “I was worried about you, did he hurt you?” he said softly,

You just shook your head and continued to look out at the beautiful farm before you, “Y/N, talk to me” Steve said almost pleading,

“There is nothing to talk about Captain Rogers,” you reply coldly, “I am fine.”

Confusion flashed across Steve’s face, “What’s wrong?” he tried again, you could tell he was beginning to worry. You had only called him Captain Rogers when you had first met him and that had lasted all of two days before you stopped. The coldness that you were suddenly exuberating towards him was confusing him.

You sighed annoyedly, “My head hurts, can I just have a moment of silence please.” You snapped at him, your mood was sour and Steve asking a ton of questions wasn’t helping at all.

Steve looked hurt by your tone, but he didn’t say anything. Instead he stood up, picking his shield up with him. “If you need to talk Y/N, you know where to find me.” He said with the politeness that only Captain America could have after being snapped at so rudely.

You hadn’t noticed Tony standing nearby, he had witnessed the whole exchange. As soon as Steve went back inside, Tony came over and sat next to you, “Oh god, what now?” you snapped looking in his direction half expecting it to be Steve,

“Whoa there, put your claws away.” Tony replied raising his hands in surrender.

“Sorry,” you mumbled and look away, the pain in your head increasing with each passing minute.

“Why are you hating on our dear Capsicle so much?” Tony asks placing a hand on your shoulder,

“I am not,” you try to defend yourself,

“Y/N, don’t bullshit a bullshitter” Tony cuts you off, your shoulders slump down defeated. Tony had always known you better than most in the compound, there were times when you were down that he would be the one picking you up, it was a silent friendship, but it was always there when you needed it.

“I can’t explain it” you said softly, your tears threatening to fall. Tony put his arm around your shoulders trying to comfort you.

“We have all been through hell these past few weeks, but we will get thought it. It’s what we do, we are a team Y/N. No man gets left behind.” He said kindly,

“I don’t think I should be a part of the team Tony,” you said quietly, the tears started to fall, “I am dangerous”

Tony shook his head, “So is Bruce, and Natasha, but that doesn’t mean we kick you out of the team, we fight together, we protect each other.”

You remain quiet, you knew Tony was only trying to help but the feeling you had and the vision you saw were too much for you to handle. Just then Thor came outside, with Steve following Closely behind him.

“Thor?” Said Steve as they walked passed where you and Tony sat,

“I saw something in that dream,” Thor said, “I need answers, I won’t find them here.”

Steve had an irritated look on his face and said nothing as Thor swung his hammer and took off into flight. Tony and you watched as Steve turned around to go back inside then paused for a moment and sighed, his face overcome with sadness, it was as if he didn’t see you and Tony sitting nearby then he turned around and walked off the porch leaving the house.

You needed to sleep off your headache, so you got up and went inside but unfortunately all the rooms were taken. You grabbed a blanket off the couch and decided to just go and sleep in one of the cots in the jet.

You had just gotten comfortable in one of the cots, when the door to the jet opened. Annoyance flashed through you at whoever it was, you just wanted to rest that was all you needed.

“Oh, sorry…I didn’t know you were in here,” Steve’s voice sounded across the empty jet,

You sighed and kept your eyes closed, you really weren’t in the mood to deal with anything right now. Your mood towards him had only soured because of your vision, you didn’t know what it meant, and it scared the hell out of you. You thought maybe withdrawing from them for a while was best, you were also being a little petty that no one rescued you and you had to escape yourself, while they were off being heroes.

“I can leave,” Steve began,

“Ugh Steve,” you groaned, “I am nursing a headache the size of a small country could you please just pick a cot and sit down” keeping your eyes closed,

Steve was quiet, but you heard him shuffle around and lay down in the cot next to yours, “We were looking for you, you know” he said almost inaudibly

“I know,” you replied, you opened your eyes and looked at the roof of the jet, you could feel Steve’s gaze on you.

“Y/N are we okay?” Steve asked,

“First of all, we aren’t a ‘we’, secondly stop asking me if I am okay. Its rather tiring” you snapped.

The patience Steve exhibited when you snapped at him was admirable, you half expected him to storm off and ignore you or even snap back at you but instead he remained quiet just sighing a little. They were quiet for a while, you trying to fall asleep but with Steve next to you, you were unable to.

“Y/N?”

“What now, Steve?” you grumbled,

“Can I hold your hand?” he asked softly,

Keeping your eyes closed, you knew Steve just wanted comfort. Even with you being so horrible to him he persisted in being around you. You knew it was because you had always brought comfort to each other in bad times, but you just wanted to be left alone for a moment. You sigh and reach your hand out, and feel his hulking hand intertwine with your small one. He still wore his combat gloves and the rough leather warm against your skin, you wouldn’t admit it but you somehow needed Steve’s comfort in that moment as much as he needed you.

(The events of Ultron take place, Sokovia goes up in ruins and the team successfully defeats Ultron. A few months, at the new Avengers facility in upstate New York, You sit in the training facility watching Natasha and Steve beat the new recruits, Wanda (The scarlet witch who had shown you the vision of you murdering the Avengers), Vision and Falcon, into shape)

You were sitting next to Tony, he was attaching a drip to your arm because for some reason he said you needed a vitamin bag. You kept fainting during training and all the tests they were running were proving futile, it started just after defeating Ultron, Tony thought it might have something to do with the knock to the back of your head but hadn’t been able to prove anything yet.

“Move faster,” Steve called out to Wanda, “Don’t get angry, control your power!” he used his shield to block another red flash she hurled at him.

Natasha drop kicked Sam in the chest, and he groaned. Vision was the only one who seemed to hold his own while training with Steve and Nat.

A couple minutes later, you sat with your IV on the foam floor of the training gym, Steve came over to you. In the months following the events of Ultron you had pulled away from Steve, and the rest of the team, and then your nightmares had begun. The vision that Wanda had showed you when she was working with Ultron played over and over in your mind, you woke up screaming in terror night after night. it had gotten worse over time, you suddenly had sleep paralysis and Tony had to hook you up to a monitor before bed every night so F.R.I.D.A.Y could monitor your brain waves for any sign of oncoming nightmares. You were grateful to Tony for trying to help but the more they probed about your nightmares the less you spoke to any of them, you couldn’t bring yourself to say it out loud. For you feared if you spoke it out loud you were sealing your fate.

Steve had tried to talk to you, multiple times, but you just began to ignore him and his constant questions. Sam tried, Natasha never out right asked you but the way she acted around you, you knew what she wanted to ask. Bruce had vanished after Ultron and their new mission was to find him, you sorely missed Bruce around the compound, he had always brought a little humor to the place.

Steve and Natasha stood on the other side of the training gym, chatting about something clearly seriously or arguing you didn’t really care. Sam and Wanda sat near you in silence, out of breath after their vigorous session.

Wanda strolled over to you, she had apologized for what she had done to you in South Africa and you had begrudgingly forgave her. “Hey, how are you feeling?” she asked in her Sokovian accent,

“I feel fine,” you reply, “This is such a waste, Tony is a little dramatic sometimes,” you point at the IV and chuckle. She smiled, Wanda had been through a lot in her life and after losing Pietro your heart went out to her in a way.

“Would you like to go to cinema later?” Wanda asked, there was a cinema in the compound courtesy of Tony Stark, Obviously. All of this new Avengers luxury was new to her, but you were kind of glad that she had a certain comfort around it.

“Yeah, sure we can do that” You smile up at her, even though you would much rather stay in your room and read a book or something.

Natasha motioned for Sam and Wanda to come over, and they trudged over to her. Leaving you alone again, you could see Steve wanted to come over, but he was hesitating loitering near one of the weight racks, looking around nervously. It never ceased to amaze you how persistent Steve was, no matter how much you snapped or snarled at him, he still treated you with the same level of kindness and politeness he always had.

He saw you looking at him and he came over, “Hey,” he said with a soft smile, you couldn’t help but smile back at the super soldier, “How’s that going?” he asked pointing to your IV,

“Rather garbage actually,” you retorted, “I hate being treated like a feeble child,”

Steve chuckled, “Tony is like a father, he will always worry about his recruits”

You look at Steve for a moment then reluctantly patted the ground beside you, “Sit,” you say, “Talk to me while I wait for this IV to be done,”

Steve’s whole demeanor brightened when you invited him to sit down, his faced beamed as he dropped down next to you. He looked like a giddy school boy as he sat beside you, you always forgot how dorky the famous Captain America was.

“How’s the new recruits?” You asked him, looking at Wanda train in hand-to-hand combat with Natasha,

“Great, Wanda is a little young, but she’s got spirit, I have to commend her” Steve said, he began talking about the different training they were doing with each of the new members and the new upgrades to their suits.

You kept the conversation going with a few nods and questions here and there, but you simply just enjoyed talking to Steve no matter how short lived it would be.

“Y/N,” said Steve after a moment of silence,

“Mhmm..?”

“Would you like…” he paused, “To go get a cup of coffee?”,

You looked at Steve, a little surprised really. “Uh yeah, sure, let’s go get coffee.”

You and Steve awkwardly leave the gym, as you do so you see Sam give Steve a thumb up and make a rude gesture which Natasha laughs at.

Steve ignored him and held the door to the training facility open for you to exit still rolling around your IV bag. The two of you walk to the kitchen, and you took a seat while Steve got busy making you both coffee. “F.R.I.D.A.Y.?” You call out,

“Yes, Miss Y/L/N?”

“Could you play us some music?” You ask the A.I

“Certainly, what selection would you like?” She responds,

“Classical, Johann Bach Cello Suite 1” you say, you always loved classical music and you knew Steve did too, maybe the music would lighten up the mood.

You saw Steve smile at your recommendation, Cello was one of your mutual favorite instruments. The soft classical music began playing over the sound system, and you immediately felt a change in the mood.

Steve placed a hot cup of coffee in front of you and then took a seat next to you, “So, how much longer is Tony going to make you walk around with an IV?” he asked,

“Today’s hopefully the last day,” you reply looking at the annoying IV. As it dripped slowly into your vein.

“What’s in there?”

You shrugged, “A Stark concoction according to Tony,”

Steve laughed, which made you feel good, you hadn’t seen him laugh in a while. You knew he was still looking for Bucky, and the guilt of keeping Bucky’s location from him kept you up at night.

“So, stranger,” Steve said looking at you with those damn blue eyes, “What have you been up to?”

You wanted to laugh, Steve was trying too hard to be cool and casual and was coming off as a dad trying to get down with the kids. “Since when does Captain America speak like a teenager trying to get laid?” you asked laughing at his demeanor,

Steve looked confused for a second, then caught on. “I am just trying to make conversation,” He said scratching the back of his head shyly.

“Stop trying so hard Rogers” you say, playfully punching his arm, “Relax, I am not going to bite your head off”

Steve seemed to relax a little, “I think there might be a mild sedative in this IV” you said, “It makes me giddy,”

“Coffee will help that,” he responded.

The conversation flowed from there, after the initial ineptness, you both relaxed a little and began to talk normally. Almost forgetting the past few months of awkwardness. That was until Steve brought up Bucky,

“Sam might have a new lead on Bucky’s location,” he said, placing their empty coffee mugs in the sink.

You immediately tense up at the mention of Bucky, and Steve notices instantly

“What’s going on with you?” he asks, looking at you intently.

“Nothing,” you say nonchalantly not meeting his gaze, you were trying your hardest to remain casual but all the training in the world still made it incredibly difficult to lie to Steve.

“Why do you always clam up when I speak about Bucky?” Steve almost snapped,

“I don’t know what you are talking about,” you respond casually, your IV was finished and you began to remove the needle from your arm. Trying to disregard Steve,

“Y/N, you have been ignoring me, avoiding me and any conversation about Bucky you immediately leave. If you have something to say, now would be the time to say it” Steve retorted.

You remain silent, not looking at the super soldier, suddenly Steve grabbed your arm roughly, pulling you toward him and you look up at him in surprise.

“What the hell,” you exclaim,

Instantly he regrets it and lets your arm go, “I am sorry,” he says quickly and then backs away from you,

“I don’t know what you want from me Steve, I don’t care about Bucky or your witch-hunt for him. Stop projecting this issue onto me. He is a killer, I don’t want any part of finding him,” you spat at him, standing up.

A look of hurt flashed across Steve’s face and as soon as the words left your mouth you regretted them. But it was too late to take them back now, you knew what this had done and there was no going back.

Suddenly F.R.I.D.A.Y’s voice sounded over the intercom, “Captain Rogers, I am sorry to interrupt but Tony requires your presence in the conference room.”

“Thank you, F.R.I.D.A.Y” Steve said, then he looked at you for a moment,

“Y/N, whatever it is that is making you pull away I wish you would tell me, I only want to help you. You don’t have to go through it alone…” he paused for a moment, “I love you Y/N,”

You mouth fell open in surprise, you were momentarily speechless.

“Steve,” you start to say,

He raised his hand to stop you from talking, “Don’t say anything. Just think about it”.”

Then he walked away, leaving you shocked and speechless in the kitchen.

RIAT 2017

“Made in Heaven, tattooed on Earth”

During the third weekend of July, the gates of the RAF base in Fairford opened once again for the lucky visitors of this year’s Royal International Air Tattoo. 160.000 people were gathered to witness one of the best aviation feasts in Europe. Let the show begin…

A series of spectacular flypasts and jaw-dropping displays ensured the success of this year’s RIAT. In fact, it was considered by many, one of the best RIATs of the recent years. The airshow, which took place from July 14 till 16, attracted a record crowd of 160,000 people who met 246 aircraft from 32 air arms representing 26 nations. On the other hand, the typical English weather, with the low level clouds and the rain showers was again the only disadvantage of the show.

This year’s main theme was the 70th anniversary of USAF. Back in 1947, the aerial warfare service branch of the United States Army became a separate branch of the military. For this celebration, the organizers of RIAT, had prepared many surprises for the visitors of this year’s feast. The attendance of US military aircraft was catholic. After an absence of three years from the European airshows, mainly due to cutbacks, the US military aircraft were back again in Fairford. This time for good! Up in the air but also on the ground, the aircraft honored, with their own way, this big celebration.

At the very early stages, during winter, the famous aerobatic team, Thunderbirds, announced their participation at RIAT, which was also the only European visit of their schedule. Thunderbirds had visited RIAT in the past in 2007 and this one was their second visit.

The second surprise was the announcement of the extraordinary, in terms of capabilities, solo demo team of the F-22 Raptor. This unique fighter had made its first appearance in 2010 and was reintroduced last year along with the F-35 which was appearing over the English skies for the first time. Unfortunately the aircraft was not able to display on Saturday because of the low level clouds, but on Sunday it did perform its long waited display. The Raptor performed a powerful and superbly executed demonstration winning the “Paul Bowen” trophy for the best jet demonstration.

#gallery-0-34 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-34 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 16%; } #gallery-0-34 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-34 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

The aircraft, after its display, made a few flypasts with a P-51D warbird for the “USAF Heritage Flight Display” theme. The P-51 warbird flew across the Atlantic only for this reason. There were some rumours that the F-35 would also reappear at this year’s RIAT, but the DoD decided to send it to Paris Airshow instead.

Joining these two aerial assets to celebrate the USAF anniversary was also a special flypast of five of the main aircraft types currently operated by US Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) from bases in the UK and Germany. These aircraft performed an aerial parade on all three days of the show at RIAT. These were:

A KC-135R Stratotanker from the 100th Air Refueling Wing/351st Air Refueling Squadron at RAF Mildenhall, Suffolk. A C-130J-30 Hercules from the 86th Airlift Wing/37th Airlift Squadron stationed at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. Two F-15C Eagles and one F-15E Strike Eagle. These fighters were from the 48th Fighter Wing/493rd Fighter Squadron from RAF Lakenheath, Suffolk. Two F-16CM Fighting Falcons, flown by the 52nd Fighter Wing/480th Fighter Squadron at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany.

But the highlight of all the aerial assets for this big celebration was the unexpected visit, on the last day of the show, of the rare bomber B-2A Spirit. The aircraft, taking part in an epic 23-hour transatlantic “Global Power” training flight from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, performed two flypasts over the show with an escort of two F-15Cs before returning back to its base.

On the ground the presence of the USAF was also huge. The visitors had the chance to see and admire up close a variety of bombers, fighters, tankers, helicopters such as B-1B, B-52H, MC-130J, C-17A, KC-135R, F-16CM, F-15C/E, CV-22B, HH-60G. But the main attraction was another rare example, the U-2S Dragon Lady, another legendary example of an old design which still exists in the modern theater of warfare.

Apart from the Thunderbirds, other flying display highlights included the newly founded French Air Force’s Couteau Delta team flying two Mirage 2000D fighter aircraft; the Midnight Hawks, Finland’s aerobatic display team who last performed at the Air Tattoo back in 2004.

#gallery-0-37 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-37 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 25%; } #gallery-0-37 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-37 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

On the static display others notable attractions were the E-7A, a Boeing 737 Airborne Early Warning aircraft from the Royal Australian Air Force. The Royal Canadian Air Force Boeing CH-147F Chinook Helicopter which had been airlifted over in the back of a giant Boeing CC-177 Globemaster airlifter. The Greek Phantoms made their second consecutive appearance at the RIAT. This time, the other Squadron, 338 “Aris” of 117 Combat Wing, brought two examples (01508 and 01619). The 01508 was carrying two special painted external fuel tanks and it had a very nice livery on its vertical stabilizer.

But the most “exotic” visit was the reappearance of two Eastern-built Su-27 Flankers (a single seat and a two seat) of the Ukrainian Air Force escorted by an Il-76 Candid. This participation was announced in the beginning of the final week before the show. The single seat Sukhoi Su-27P1M amazed everyone with its unique capabilities and won the “As The Crow Flies” trophy for the best overall flying demonstration as judged by members of the Friends of the RIAT. These Ukrainian fighters had made their first appearance at RIAT back in 1996, while their last flying was held in 1999.

#gallery-0-39 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-39 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-39 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-39 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

The greatest disappointment was the cancellation of the rare visit of an A-4N Skyhawk from a fleet operated by Discovery Air Defence, based at Wittmund. These A-4s are contracted to provide services ranging from threat simulation, target towing to flight test support. The aircraft were originally Israeli Air Force airframes before being purchased, stripped and modified by Discovery Air Services. This participation was cancelled literally at the very last minute, one day before the show. The last time an A-4 visited the Air Tattoo was 1977, when a small number of A-4Gs visited Greenham Common from 805 Squadron, Royal Australian Navy.

Next year’s RIAT is going to celebrate the centenary anniversary of RAF. So it is expected that next year’s show will break every record of attendance. For those who want to visit RIAT 2018, you should start planning your journey early. From our side, we will make sure we’ll be there. Cause after all, life is a RIAT!

See you there!
