Savior

Chapter twenty nine: Avoidance

It still doesn't really feel real.

Last night I look like a deer caught in the headlights. I closed the door in his face.

"Good morning Ms.Y/N"

"Good morning Jarvis, any plans for today?"

"Yes, Mr. Stark scheduled training sessions with Natasha and Steve."

Perfect distraction for today.

I get out of bed and put on a loose blue hoodie and black leggings. I tied up my hair into a loose ponytail not wanting to brush through my tangled curls.

I walked out to the kitchen, Steve and Bucky were stood by the window talk and Pepper was washing some dishes.

"Hey sweetheart, want me to make you something for breakfast?" She asked kind as usual.

"No thanks I'm good I'm going to train with Natasha downstairs," I say hesitantly smiling at her.

She squints her eyes at me, "okay but you're have to eat something for lunch."

She turned her attention back to the dishes letting me go in peace surprisingly.
I take the elevator down to the entrance level meeting Nat in the training room.

"Hey Nat what are we working on today?"

She laced her boots up to her knees.
I have no idea how she fights in those heels.

"We are going to work on takedowns with these puppies," she says patting her thighs.

"Alright sounds good."

She straightened her body out stretching her arms and neck.

"So this is what I'll show you first. It's something I used when I fought Bucky a while ago."

I nodded walking over to her.

"Bucky as you know is a highly trained assassin so it's hard to get the jump on him and people like him," she gets behind me taking a couple steps back.

"So you can start by running up behind your opponent keeping yourself low to the grown an kicking them in the legs, making them unstable." She ran up sliding across the floor knocking me onto my left knee.
Before I had the chance to even grab her she pulled my right arm up and back then swang around to cradle my face with her thighs.

"From this position you can try and pull me off and down but I can just-" she squeezed her thighs together making me light headed and fall onto my back, "I can knock you out in a couple seconds."

I tap out and she releases quickly. I cough a bit then get up, "that was awesome, teach me!"

*one hour later*

I'm completely gassed out. She taught me a couple more take downs and choke hold that I think will be pretty useful due to my lack of upper body strength.

I sat down on the floor to catch my breath briefly before Steve walked in, "She went hard on you didn't she," he chuckles handing me a water bottle.

I just nod and chug half the water.

"I'll keep it light then," he said lining up some light weights by the bench.

"No ah I'm good," I lie still huffing.

He laughed out loud picking up the punching bag to hang it up.

"Sure kid. Drink the rest of that water and let get started."

I reluctantly finished my water and got up to wrap my hands.

*50 minutes later*

"Come on Y/N, finish it." Steve said spotting me as a pushed through my last set.
