okay so i know i haven't updated in a while, and I kinda feel bad because I hate it when authors discontinue stories, so I've decided to start up again. Sorry if my writing style has changed a bit though.
by the way, i've been reading all the comments in the previous chapters, and let me just say this. I have never felt so amused, terrified, and humoured at the same time. Ya'll have the craziest things going through your minds huh? I like it.
Keep commenting, they're fun to read.

The sound of water droplets splashing against concrete filled the sounds surrounding the room. Your face covered with a thick black mask, ceasing you from seeing your surroundings. You could slowly start to feel small goosebumps unfold on your skin, the cool breezes of the room causing your hands to swollen and your feet to go numb.
You'd be lying if you said you weren't scared, lying if you said you were clueless. Truth is, you'd never been in this type of situation. But that doesn't mean you weren't hopeful. Knowing that not too far away was your family, your home. A group of the mightiest superheroes who were probably looking for you right now.
Honestly, you believed it wouldn't be long until they busted into the room, calling your name, checking your injuries. But then again, you could be wrong. They might still be oblivious to the fact that you have gone missing. They might be caught in the act of finding you, running to areas where you're far from. They might even still be at home, hurriedly searching of a way to find your location. Whatever they might be doing, wherever they may be, you only hoped they came soon... otherwise, it might be too late.
You wanted to go home. Back to the people you call home.

"What do you mean she's gone?!"
"I-I don't know, I c-checked her room... she's not there" Peter was already started to get worried. His spider-senses going off like alarms in his head. Where were you?
"Friday, do a scan of all rooms, see if you can find Y/n!"
"I'm afraid Y/n has not been detected in the compound Mr. Stark"
"Guys, guys, no need to panic! I'm sure she just gone out on a stroll? She does that from time to time!" rushes Bucky, though the smile on his face showed a hint of panic.
"Check again! I don't care, check again! Something doesn't feel right, I can feel it." Tony was pacing, this wasn't like other times. Yes, you had run away many times before, but he could feel it. Could feel the shiver in his bones, the aching in his chest. He had a feeling that you being missing wasn't by your own intentions this time.
"Mr. Stark, I have detected a note near Y/n's bathroom mirror" Friday's voiced echoed across the room.
"Friday, scan the notes and show me what it says, NOW!"
Pacing up and down, Tony turned to the nearest screen. Taping his fingers as he hurriedly waited for Friday to deliver the noted message.
"Look Tony, even if this is something bad, we will get her back. We will bring her home" Cap raised his hand to Tony shoulder, squeezing lightly.
"You don't know that" Tony's shoulders were shaking, though he's sobs were unheard, silent.
"I do know that. Because we have a whole team here ready to look for her if something bad were to happen. We have a whole team willing to get her back, because as much as she is family to you, she is family to us as well. I promise you, she will come home" Behind them, the Avengers were standing in anticipation. You were family to them. Losing you would be one of their greatest loses.
If you weren't there, Bucky wouldn't have a supportive partner to train with, even when he often lost his cool and could have broken your bones multiple times.
"BUCKY, I SAID DON'T TOUCH MY FACE! I DON'T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL LOOKING LIKE I LOST A FIGHT. MY REPUTATION FOR BEING A BAD BITCH WOULD BE RUINED!"
"WHAT REPUTATION? YOU'RE A SOFTIE AT HEART AND YOU KNOW IT!"
Cap wouldn't have someone who taught him modern day slangs, despite in the end not fully grasping what they mean.
"No, no, no! Not thick as in T-H-I-C-K, like T-H-I-C-C as curved! Do you understand now?"
"So am I Thicc?"
"I mean, sure, if you want to believe that"
"HEY THOR? DID YOU HEAR THAT? I'M THICK WITH A DOUBLE C!"
Thor wouldn't have someone to have his once a month "girls night" with, where you would braid his hair, and he would paint your nails (you never really mentioned that he didn't have a steady hand, despite having to constantly wipe the left over nail polish that was caught around your fingers. He wouldn't listen anyways).
"Uhh Thor? Don't you wanna, I don't know, paint my actual nails and not my fingers?"
"Shhh, Lady Y/n, trust the art, I know what I'm doing... kinda"
Sam wouldn't have someone to constantly tease, knowing that despite it infuriating you, would not stop you from sassily replying back with another insult, but in the end it would lead to a fit of tears on both sides.
"Hey Y/n? You gonna make me a sandwich? You made Thor one, only fair I get one too"
"Hey Sam? How about this? WHY DON'T YOU GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASS AND ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING FOR ONCE!"
"And to think that Thor would never get this kinda treatment..."
Natasha wouldn't have another girl in the house, someone who would be by her side when all the boys got out of hand, or someone to help her out when Thor got stuck in the elevator again because he kept clicking all the buttons.
"Y/n?! I need your help again! Thor thought the buttons of the elevator was another smashing game he could play and now his stuck!"
"Hm? Who says we need to help him?"
"Hm yes, I agree, I like where this is going... wanna go to Starbucks?"
Bruce wouldn't have a smiling figure right by his side while he was doing work, always making him laugh whilst he worked with his science equations. Even if sometimes it would become very distraction. He never truly minded.
"Hey Bruce, when a plant is sad what do the other plants do?"
"Hm, I don't know, enlighten me!"
"They 'Photosympathize! Get it?"
"HA THAT WAS A GOOD ONE, I SHOULD TELL THOR! Actually no, never mind, he wouldn't get it..."
At last of all, Tony wouldn't have his daughter. His sweet and loving, (sometimes a bit of a brat), daughter. And that was a realisation that hit them all vividly.
"You know, as much as I say you're a pain in the ass, you know I still love you right?"
"Yes, dad, I know. You tell me everyday"
"Mr Stark, I have transmitted the message to the device nearest to you. I unfortunately do not believe you will like what you will read"
Opening the screen, the bright light shined down on Tony's face. The small droplets of tears sparkling, and cascading down his cheeks.
It seems as though Y/n will not be returning to the dinner you were having. That's too bad, isn't it? But don't worry, rest assured that if you give me what I want, I shall give her back. In exchange for Y/n, I would like someone else. Bring Peter Parker to the address written down below, that is if you truly care about her.
PS. You pull any stunts, and I pull the trigger :)
"Mr Stark? What does it say? Is it bad? If it is, I'll get her back! I promise!" Peter's fists were clenched, his neck red, and his eyes showing signs of hope.
Tony turned around, eyes red, and teeth tucked into his lip. No one had seen Tony like this before, this wasn't the tony everyone was accustomed to. Peter took a step back, hands raised in defence.
"It's your fault" Tony had his finger pointing at Peter, his hands were shaking, and his nails were digging into his palm.
"IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU SHE'S GONE!" Red, Tony was seeing red.
"M-Mr Stark! Please! What are you talking about? What do you mean!" Peter was taking steps backwards, but Tony was striving forward.
"It's because of you she's gone, and it's going to be you who get's her back"

Hopefully this wasn't too bad. I made it longer than the rest of them, just so you could get a better idea of what's happening.
Please leave comments though! You guys seem to be good at that! Plus, I love reading every single one of them. They are so funny to read. Makes me happy to know you guys are enjoying the book.
