Avengers || Home Alone · Y/n story by @jinora

The Quinjet tore through the clouds, engines screaming at a pitch that should have been emergency-only. The compound was a dark speck on the horizon, drawing closer with every thundering heartbeat.

Tony Stark

jaw tight, eyes fixed ahead FRIDAY. Any update?

FRIDAY

Y/N remains unresponsive. I am, however, detecting a secondary signature within the compound. It appears she is moving.

Peter let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding.

Peter Parker

voice cracking slightly She’s okay. She’s moving. That means she’s okay.

Steve Rogers

steady, but quiet It means she’s alive, Peter. Let’s get there before that changes.

The Quinjet tilted, angling for a rooftop landing that was nowhere near as smooth as Tony would have made it under normal circumstances. The landing gear hit hard enough to rattle teeth.

Natasha Romanoff

already moving Feeds are still cutting in and out. Last frame I got showed three hostiles in the east corridor.

Clint Barton

checking an arrow East corridor is where the armory is.

The words landed like a stone dropped into still water.

Bucky Barnes

quietly, darkly Then she’s not hiding. She’s getting armed.

Thor

gripping Stormbreaker Then we hurry.

Tony was already stepping off the ramp, repulsors glowing faintly as his suit sealed around him.

Tony Stark

harsh FRIDAY. Priority override. Lock onto Y/N’s signature and give me a direct route. I don’t care how you do it—just get me to her.

FRIDAY

Understood, Boss. I have plotted a course. I am also reading unexpected activity in the server room. Multiple breaches.

Steve glanced at Tony. They didn’t need to exchange words. The same thought passed through both of them.

Steve Rogers

moving forward Everyone stay sharp. We don’t know what we’re walking into.

Tony Stark

already ahead, boots thudding against the concrete I’m not here to know. I’m here to find her.

More alarms blared. The lights flickered, caught between emergency power and something else. Shadows stretched and warped along the corridor walls.
