“God, dad,” you grumbled. “Why can’t you just listen to me? I don’t need a damn babysitter! I’m a grown ass woman. I can take care of myself.”
Phil was sitting behind his desk and shaking his head. “You seem to forget the amount of death threats that have been sent to you, Y/N.” The pinched expression on his face meant he was done arguing with you about it.
“They’re empty threats. Nothing more,” you said when there was a knock at the door.
“Come in,” Phil instructed as he stood, fastening the buttons on his suit jacket.
“I apologize for interrupting, sir,” the new arrival apologized gruffly, closing the door behind him.
Your father was wearing his business only smile as he stood in front of the man whose name you didn’t yet know. “No apologies necessary. You must be Steve Rogers.”
“Yes, sir,” Steve responded, shaking Phil’s hand.
Phil started chuckling. “I like you already.”
Steve gave a tight-lipped smile in return, unease rolling off of him in waves.

You lifted your eyes from the test in your hand and looked at Bucky. He blinked, eyebrows raising as he waited for you to speak. You swallowed, looking back down at the test.
Still fairly new at writing fics, I hope you all enjoy it!

With all the fighting that was happening, people began to fear the Avengers. In an attempt to ease their worries and show them that they could relate to the people of the city, Tony decided to open a daycare inside the tower.
The daycare offered free childcare for employee’s families. It was fully decked out with all the latest toys and learning equipment available, along with a few products thathadn’t hit the shelves of stores yet. It had been open for five years with you running it all. Overall it was a dream come true. It had done what Tony had hoped for and eased people’s minds of fear. Even the day to day for the most part seemed to go smoothly.
Until one day Julie, your colleague, called in sick; leaving you to handle the children alone. This hadn’t been the first time you had to cover for her but today would prove to be the most unexpected. You had the children sitting at the table forsnack time and stepped out of the room to prepare the food. When you returned the children and all the children were missing.
You called and searched for them,thinking they were hiding since it was impossible to leave without scanning a card to open the door,but there was no luck. Panic set in; how did they escape? Where did they go? What if someone took them? Your mind raced. Yourphone rang; pulling your phone from your pocket you looked at it. Tony Stark’s name flashed across the screen; swiping you answered as you continued your frantic search. “H-hello, Mr. Stark… We h-have a problem…” You tried to sound calm but the fear in your voice was clear.
“Yes, Y/N it seems we do. Care to tell me why there are children running wild all over the tower?” He questioned; obviously annoyed.
“I… I don’t know, Sir. They were at the snack table and I stepped out of the room for just a minute go getthe snacks, since Julie is sick today. When I returned, the children were gone and the doors are still sealed tight! I am so sorry Mr. Stark, I will gather them immediately.” You rushed to say.
“Just get them out of my lab, Now! Before someone gets hurt!” He snapped before ending the call.
You quickly scanned your keycardand pushed out the door, sprinting towards the elevator. Jamming your finger to the button, you waited, a tightness working its way through your chest.
Were you going to lose your job because of this? Surely there were bound to be consequences.
Impatiently you tapped your foot whilst you waited, when the doors opened Steve and Bucky steppedout laughing until they noticed the distressed look on your face.
“What’s wrong Y/N?” Steve asked, placing a hand on your shoulder.
Wide eyed and teary you told them what had happened. “I am going to lose my job! I don’t know how this even happened, it’s never happened before! I… How…" By the time you were done you were out of breath and unable to form anymore coherent sentences.
Pulling you against them, both men hugged you, trying to calm you down. “Breathe Doll, we got you. Steve and I will help round up the kids and we’ll get to the bottom of how this happened. Tony won’t fire you. You’re the heart of the daycare.” Bucky told her, Steve nodded in agreement.
It didn’t take too long to gather the children up with the three of you working together. The rest of the day went on without a hitch and at the end of the day you went to Tony’s lab as instructed.
Steve and Bucky were already waiting inside for you, hoping to bring you some comfort of not being alone.
“Cap and I went over the security footage to find out what happened.You won’t be losing your job, but this is something I think you should see. FRIDAY play the security footage of the daycare from this morning” Tony said. As requested the video appeared on screen, showing that Sam Wilson had been the one to cause the chaos.
“I am going to kill him! I can’t believe he would do this to me! I mean he used to play pranks on me growing up but he hasn’t in so long. I thought he grew up! I am going to kill him!!" You ranted, pacing the floor before making your way to the exit. "FRIDAY where is Sam?” You questioned.
“Mr. Wilson is in the gym, Miss” friday answered.
"Great.. I am going to kick his ass!” You growled; making your way to the elevator. However, before you could reach it a pair of arms wrapped around you, pulling you against a well toned chest, low chuckling and warm breath against the back of your ear. “As much as we all would love to see that sweetheart, I have a better idea.” Steve whispered, still holding you close.
The next day you sat cuddled up in between Steve and Bucky watching Tony approach Sam on the flat screen. “You’ve got a mission Wilson.” He said, motioning for Sam to follow.
Tony led Sam to the daycare. “Seeing as your little stunt caused so much trouble for Y/N yesterday, I’ve decided to give her the next fewdays off. You will be filling in for her, and I have disabled your keycard till then end of your shift.” Tony spoke; a smirk playing on his lips.
“You’re joking right? This isn’t funny!” Sam retorted.
“Neither was your prank, frankly I’d like to see her kick your ass around the gym but the double mint twins thought this was a better punishment.” Tony replied walking off.
You watched as Sam struggled to get the kids to listen. Paint, food and toys flew across the room. You laughed as he tripped over things. All the while Bucky and Steve spent the day pampering and spoiling you. It was, in fact, the perfect revenge.
