Avengers Preference

Steve

Reader afraid of the dark

You woke up in the pitch black and started to panic. Shit shit shit where are they? What were they going to do next? You felt someone move next to you. You jumped out of bed and reached for the knife that was behind the dresser. Then a light Turned on.
Steve sat up in your bed looking confused. You relaxed and released your grip on the knife. “What’s wrong (y/n)?” He asked as he sat up further.
“The dark it freaks me out” you said your voice shaking slightly.
“Its ok if you don’t want to tell me but, why”. He asked looking worried as you sat down on the bed next to him and leant against the head board.
“It was one of my early MI6 missions, I was undercover, but there was a mole in my unit” you took a sharp intake of breath, “I woke up in complete darkness, they, they tortured me for information. I could never see where it was coming from, it was so dark” You just stared off into space, you only came back to yourself when he placed his hand on yours. He held you tight as you both fell back off to sleep the bedside land stayed on.

Tony

Reader afraid they might be a monster

The Avengers were assembled to deal with a rouge organisation called M.O.D.O.K. The name rang a bell with you, you didn’t know why. That was until you went to the labs of the building you had just taken. You went pale whit and started shaking. You curled up into a ball in the door way. Memories of your past flashing before you, so many experiments, needles, knives and pain. So much pain.
You felt a hand on your shoulder “(y/n), (y/n) are you okay?” It was Tony. “Tony, I’ve been here before” you said, your voice shaking, “They made me, they wanted me to be one of their monsters”
“You are not a monster, you’re not like them” he said kneeling down to look you in the eyes, he took your shaking hands “ You see the good in everyone, you put smiles on kids faces when you go to the children’s hospital you fight monsters but you aren’t one”.
You looked down the hallway at the destruction you had caused, “I’m scared I might be”.

Thor

Reader scared of water

You were about to settle down by the pool and sun bathe when you felt Thor’s strong arms wrap around you. Before you realise it, he jumps into the water with you. Fuck fuck fuck you thought, memorises from when you were a kid flashed before your eyes.
The cold waves of the ocean washing over you. You could hear your mother screaming for help. You could almost still feel the last of your air slip out from your lungs into the surrounding water.
You struggled to get out of the water. Then suddenly you were sat on the side of the pool. Thor looking at you worried, his eyes full of confusion.
“What is wrong my love” he asked as he moved a lock of your wet hair from your face.
“When I was a kid I almost drowned, the waters freaked me out ever since” You said your voice still shaking.

Bruce

Reader is afraid of loosing her family

The Avengers were watching the news channel to catch up on the latest events when a breaking news story came on. There was a shooting in progress in Harvard. Your brothers college. You were there in a matter of seconds. The gunman apprehended not a minuet later. More importantly your little brother, the last of your family, was alive and well.
When you returned to the Avengers tower Fury was pissed.
“The Avengers are for emergency situations only, you are here to save the world, let the police deal with the fucking gun nuts” He yelled at you in front of the other avengers. They all sided with you but that was little consolation.
“Fuck off Fury” You spat as you turned out of the room slamming the door behind you.
A minuet or so later Bruce found you sitting on the roof looking out over New York city.
“Hey” he said as he took a seat next to you.
“I couldn’t lose him Bruce” you said through your tears, “He’s the only family I have left” He wrapped his arms around you as your cried into your shoulder, from that moment he understood what you feared the most.

Clint

The reader is claustrophobic

You were waling down to the training room when Clint popped his head out from the air vent above you. “Hey, you should come up here” he said, a goofy smile on his face. “That is not a good idea” you said as you peered into the vent. “Why not” he asked looking at you. “I’m really badly claustrophobic Clint” you said.

Sam

Reader afraid she isn’t good enough

They were all dead because of your stupid mistake. It wouldn’t have happened if Natasha had your job you thought as you looked at your best friends limb body. You heart smashed into a million pieces as you saw who was lying next to her, it was Sam. Your Sam, dead. His usually bright eyes were extinguished. He was dead and it was all your fault. You’re not good enough to be an Avenger. You started to cry.
You felt a hand on your shoulder, shaking you gently. “(y/n) wake up, its ok wake up”. It was Sams voice, oh thank God he’s alive. Your eyes opened to see that you were lying in bed, with Sam hovering over you concern written over his face. You sat up and hugged him tight. “Thank God your ok, I promise I wont mess up again.” You cried as he hugged you back.
Once he extracted himself from you “Of course I’m okay” He said. “What happened?” He asked as he stroked some hair back from your face.
“We were all on mission, and I failed, every one died and it was my fault because I’m not good enough”

Pietro

Reader is afraid of snakes

You and Pietro were enjoying a picnic in the park, that was until a grass snake slithered over your hand and you freaked out. You had watched Snakes on a plane way to young and it had screwed you up. It took a Pietro a long time to calm you down after that.

Wanda

Reader is afraid of Scorpions

You an Wanda were curled up on the sofa watching a wildlife documentary when a scorpion appeared on screen You immediately changed the channel.
“Hey why did you do that” Wanda asked.
“Scorpions, fucking hate them” You said avoiding eye contact.
“Why?” Wanda asked looking at you
“It was one of my first S.H.I.E.L.D. missions, we were on our way back to base when my friend was bitten by a scorpion. I carried her the rest of the way but I wasn’t fast enough, she died in my arms” You said your voice breaking at the end.

Natasha

Reader is afraid of spiders

You were stood on the arm of the couch. It (the house spider) was in the middle of the living room floor. Natasha was in the kitchen. You were pale white and shaking, even your voice shook as you called out for your girlfriend.
“Natasha, Nat, help” you shouted. Nat came running into the room and was taken by surprise by your predicament. She swiftly got rid of the spider after seeing your distress. She helped you down from the sofa and pulled you onto your lap and held you tight. “Whats wrong my Kingsman” she whispered her voice soft and gentle.
“It was a Kingsman mission in Cuba. The authorities were conducting experiments on Black Widow spiders, it turns out to be an experimental anti-venom” You took a sharp intake of breath, “They tested it on me and locked me in a room with hundreds of Black Widows, I was bitten so many times, they constantly crawled over me”. You shivered and felt Natasha hold on to you tighter.

Maria

Reader afraid of repeating the past

“I don’t see why you should go“ Maria shouted, she raised her hand to run it through her hair. She saw you flinch as she did so.
“Are you ok” she said, dropping her hands and grabbing yours. “I’m fine” you said trying not to look her in the eye.
“Why did you finch?” She asked, looking concerned.
“My birth parents, when they got angry they would…” You voice trailed off but Maria understood. She pulled you into a hug. “I love you (y/n) I would never hurt you”
