A/N- This is my first Avengers story. It contains slash and mpreg. If you don't like either then please do not read. Please read and review. I love to hear what you think. I don't own the Avengers.
It was very cold New York day, but the Avengers couldn't do anything about it. New York was always cold in the winter. The Avengers were enjoying the time that they had off. Plus later that night they were all going to get together for a reunion. So what was Steve Rogers up to? He was running in Central Park with his boyfriend James and their friend Sam. They were running at a steady pace because of the cold. Steve got a little ahead of them. "Slow down, Steve," James called out.
Steve slowly turned around to look at James and Sam. He was panting and slightly out of breath. Steve wondered why he was out of breath. It wasn't normal. "It's not my fault that you two can't keep up," said Steve in a joking manner.
James ran to catch up with Steve. He playfully hit Steve as he came up to him. They then shared a kiss. "What was that?" James asked.
Steve put a smile on his face as Sam came up to them. They were all glad to get to spend some time together. James wasn't sure about tonight, but he knew Steve was happy about it. Sam was delighted as well. So James was going to go along because his boyfriend was thrilled. "You only caught me because I wasn't running," said Steve.
James gave Steve another kiss as Sam made a noise. "This is why I don't go running with you too," said Sam jokingly at them.
Steve turned to smile at Sam. "Well, you come anyways because you love us," Steve said pulling Sam in for a hug.
Sam gave the nod. "You both know I don't mind the two of you together, but you are going to have to tell the others soon. You can't hide this forever," stated Sam.
James shot Sam a look. He knew that Sam was right. Steve wasn't ready for the rest to know yet, but he knew that it was getting harder to hide it. They had been going out for a while now. James put an arm around Steve. Steve sigh. Plus Bucky knew the others weren't on good terms with him yet. "I guess we should, but I am worried how they will take it," Steve told them.
Same smiled. "I am sure our friends will be shocked but will support you," said Sam.
Meanwhile back at Stark Tower, Thor had came back to spend some time with them which everyone was glad for. "It's great to see you, Thor," Bruce said walking into the living room right from the kitchen.
Thor and Clint were battling it out on the Wii. Bruce sat down on the couch to watch them. He didn't know much about Video games because he didn't play them. Bruce was willing to watch though. "It's great to be back, Bruce. I have missed you all dearly," said Thor.
Clint chooses that moment to beat Thor at the game which he had been having trouble at moments ago. "Got you, Thor," Clint said with a smile on his face as Tony came into the room.
He didn't look that happy at all. Bruce turned to look at Tony. "Why is there a frown on your face?" Bruce asked.
A moment later Bruce saw why as Nick Fury came onto the big screen shutting off the game. "I am sorry to bother you all. It is clear to meet that you are enjoying your day off, but Thanos has decided to attack New York," Fury stated.
He didn't look sorry at all. Fury looked like he was enjoying this very much. "We are right on it," said Bruce standing up.
The t.v shut off and they all looked at Bruce. "Bruce are you sure we are ready for this? Plus where are all the rest?" asked Thor.
He didn't know where anyone was anymore. With him not being on earth for a while. Black Widow came into the room with Wanda and Vision. "We are here," said Black Widow.
Tony gave the nod. "Well, then we best go. We have to stop Thanos," said Tony.
On the way he called Steve who had started to run again. Steve looked down at his phone still running. He picked it up. "Yes, Tony," Steve said.
Tony let out a chuckle. Trust Steve to be running even when it was cold out. "You need to get to Central Park. Thanos is there," Tony said.
It's wasn't Thanos at all, but they didn't know that. "Already there, Tony see you when you get here," Steve said.
Not a moment later there was a blast then Thanos men came into view. It looked like Thanos men anyways, but who could tell. The explosion was caused by Thanos who had left after creating it. He had done what he needed to do. So there was no reason to stick around. Bucky started to fight as the rest came. Tony threw Steve his Captain America suit. "Thanks," Steve said as he went behind a tree to change.
Thor had seen Bucky and wasn't sure about the man being there. On the other hand, if he was there, then Tony trusted him, or he just happened to be there with Steve which did help out. "Nice to see you Sam and Bucky," said Tony. "Your Welcome, Steve."
Not a moment later Black Widow and Captain America were fighting for their lives. Steve had used his shield to fight off two men, but another sent a sword into Steve's side. It was a bit much for Captain America to take on three men at once. Plus he appeared to be out of shape. "A little help," Cap called out to Black Widow as his shield went flying.
Steve looked down and could tell that there was some blood coming out of his side. He had been hit and good. The sword had a unique blade on it. Black Widow ran over and took care of the two men before help Cap over to a bench. He cried out in pain as they sat down. "It's going to be ok Cap," Black Widow said to him.
The fighting went on around him. Iron Man had taken out two more men while Hulk got six of them. Thor wasn't doing himself badly. He had gotten seven or eight himself. Well, it was his hammer more than anything. Bucky had made his way over to Cap. "Can you still fight?" asked Bucky as Steve stood up.
Cap wasn't going to take this laying down. He gave a nod to Bucky then went back to fight. Black Widow shook her head. It was no use though. She knew he was going to fight. "Cap, what I am going to do with you?" Black Widow asked.
"I have no idea. You would have to kill me first before I stop fighting," said Cap which got a laugh out of Black Widow.
Once Cap started to fight again he felt weak. He fell to the ground. Bucky and Widow helped him up. "Take it easy," she said taking him back over to the bench.
Thanos spoke out after watching Cap fall. It did sound like Thanos, but Bucky wondered if it was. 'Maybe this is a trick by someone pretending to be Thanos.' Bucky thought to himself. "You have fought well for Avengers, but I will be back. Your hero is down and as you can see he isn't getting up. What will you do now?"
Thanos called his men away. The whole city looked pretty bad. There was stuff thrown around everywhere, and it seemed like at least 60 or more were dead. It was unclear what the real damage was. It was plain to see that Cap was in bad shape. Add in the fact that he looked pale. Iron Man ran over to them. He looked at Captain America who had a blood-stained shirt. "What happen?" asked Iron Man.
Black Widow gave Iron Man a look. "He was hit with a sword then went back out to fight. He wasn't thinking," said Black widow.
She had seen the sword and knew what it looked like. Black Widow couldn't wait to get back to Stark Tower to find out what happened to Steve. Buck looked at them all. "He left for now, but I am sure this isn't over," said Bucky.
It was plain to see that everyone agreed with Bucky, but Thor. He still wasn't sure about things. "Can we trust Bucky? I mean at one point we could then we couldn't say so what has changed?" Thor asked.
Black Widow looked at Thor. She smiled at him. "We worked things out with Bucky. Also, Steve and he had a long talk which is why we all trust him now. He made some mistakes, but has changed for the better," said Black Widow.
Wanda and Vision gave the nod. They believed it too since Tony and Steve did. Even Clint did. Thor gave the nod. He could live with that. Please, Clint could see how concerned Bucky was with Steve. He kept looking at Steve. Thor wondered what was going on there. "Ok, thank you. Steve, it's great to see you," Thor said.
Steve gave the nod as he winced. "It's good to see you, Thor, as well," Steve said.
The Avengers cleaned up the place. Cap would have their butts if they left the area a mess. After they cleaned up, they all headed back to Stark Tower."Good night," Tony said heading to bed.
Tony knew that he would be filled in on whatever it was that he needed to know. Also Tony forget about there reunion that night or else he wouldn't have gone to bed. Wanda and Vision had gone back to the tower with them. Like Tony, they went to their room to go to bed. "Good night, Tony," said Wanda.
Bruce and Natasha took Steve down to the lab. Thor had hung back. He wasn't sure what to do. James was hot on their heals as well as Clint. Clint wanted to know what was going on. Bruce looked at them. "Could you guys give us space?" Bruce asked.
Clint gave the nod as he headed back up the stairs. Bucky looked at Steve. Steve gave him a look back. The man knew that Bucky was worried about him, but he didn't need to be. "Bucky I am going to be fine, so please go back up the stairs," Steve said, so that's what Bucky did even if he didn't want too.
Natasha and Bruce got Steve into the lab then helped him up on the bed. Bruce took a scan of his whole body while Natasha drew a picture on the computer of what the sword looked like which didn't take long. She started to look on the computer. "Bruce while you do that, I am going to see what I can find on the sword," Natasha told him.
Bruce gave the nod as he went to work on Steve some more. It took him several minutes to figure out what was wrong with Steve. Steve looked over at Bruce. There was a shocked look on his face. "Is there anything you want to tell us, Steve?" Bruce asked.
Steve gave him a look. "Not that I know of," stated Steve.
He couldn't think of a thing unless getting sick in the mornings counted plus he had weird craving as well. "Well, Steve this shows me that you are around 3 and 1/2 months pregnant. Which can happen with men that have had the serum," Bruce told Steve who looked shocked.
Steve sat up after Bruce fixed him up. He swung his legs over the bed to sit straight up. Steve then put his head in his hands. Tonight mission was risky, but it hurt Steve to think that he put someone else in danger as well. Natasha's head snapped up. "Did you say Steve is pregnant? How is that possible and when did it happen?" Natasha asked.
Both of the men thought back. Steve looked at Bruce. "It had to be sometime before the last attack before this one. Maybe one of the Thanos dudes knocked me up, and that's why they were so gun hoe on taking me out," Steve said.
He didn't want them to know that he and Bucky were having sex. So it was easy to say that. "Or not Steve. Listen to this," Natasha said. She started to read off a web page. "The British sword is known for making people pass out and faint. Once they passed out, the person with the sword can take them back with them, but beware the sword only works if the person is pregnant or has kids. It doesn't say why it only works for people who are pregnant or have kids. Which is very weird, but I will try to find out more as I can."
It got Bruce to thinking. He looked at Steve. "Thanos wants a super child and bad. He is using you because you are good and whole. It would be easy to have you give birth to a child, and he raises it. The child will most likely turn out like you. Then Thanos could have the child do as he says," Bruce stated.
Nat gave the nod. "So what do we do now?" She asked in a worried voice.
Steve gave them both a look before standing up. "Captain America takes a back seat. Iron Man will be put in charge for the time being," said Steve walking towards the door.
They all groaned. Tony was going to love this. He had been waiting for the day when he could take over for Cap. Even if it wasn't for long. "Steve are you ok with this?" asked Bruce.
Steve didn't answer as he left the room. Natasha smiled at Bruce as she went after Steve. "Don't tell anyone yet, Bruce," she called back to him.
Once Natasha got to Steve room she knocked on the door. When he didn't answer, Natasha made her way into the room. Steve was laying on the bed on his side. One hand was resting on his stomach. He wasn't sure how he felt yet, but he was angry at himself for putting this child at risk. "Hi, Natasha," said Steve not moving.
He was thinking about what he was going to say to Bucky. James wasn't one that wanted children or he at least that is what he said to Steve last time they had a heart to heart. Natasha came over and sat on the bed. She bent down placing a kiss on Steve's cheek. "Everything is going to be fine, Steve. A child is a blessing, and you will make a great father," Natasha said to Steve.
He gave her a look as he rolled over. Steve sat up then. "How will I when I put it at risk already, Natasha," said Steve.
Natasha gave him a hug then sat next to him on the bed. "Because I know you will and beside had you known you were pregnant you wouldn't have gone into battle," she said to Steve placing a hand on his stomach.
