The Trio of Non-Avengers: Q&A, Comments, Spoilers, and Teasers

Natasha x Bryce

Natasha Romanoff's POV

Natasha paced, waiting for Bryce to show up. She hoped that she would. Bryce had been having a pretty terrible week, and Nat decided that she needed something to cheer it up a bit.

The sun was shining brightly, and across the street, kids were playing in a park, laughing and screaming. Natasha watched them, a small smile on her face. 

Turning back to the sidewalk, Nat checked for Bryce. Bryce probably wouldn't recognize her in her disguise, so she would have to show her who she was.

Nat watched the beautiful, midnight-black-haired woman walk down the street in normal street clothes. She looked gorgeous to Natasha, no matter what she was wearing.

Nat stood, her palms clammy and sweaty as she fell into step beside Bryce. Bryce glanced up at her, and when Nat caught her stunning brown eyes, she winked.

"It's me," she whispered.

Bryce's face lit up with realization. "Nat?"

"How have you been?" Natasha asked, leading her out into a large field of slightly overgrown grass and pretty flowers. It wasn't entirely Natasha's thing, but she knew it was beautiful enough to help encapsulate her at the moment.

"I've been fine, how about you?" Bryce replied. Natasha knew this wasn't entirely true, but went with it anyway.

"A bit stressed," she responded honestly, shoving her hands into her pockets. "And a bit worried... but also excited,"

"For what?" Bryce asked curiously. "Another mission?"

Natasha smiled at her. "Yes, a very important mission. A game-changing mission,"

"Does it include you going undercover?" Bryce asked with a smirk.

"Yes," Nat replied softly, stopping her. She turned to face her girlfriend, planting a kiss on her lips.

"Does it include you leaving?" Bryce questioned, playing with Natasha's hair.

"No," Nat replied tenderly. "It includes me coming back, though,"

"Well, don't keep it from me any longer, what is it?!" Bryce demanded, now grinning.

Natasha let out a deep breath, preparing herself. Then, like a loyal servant to their master, she knelt before her girlfriend, her hands fidgeting in her pocket. Her eyes misted over, and she could see Bryce's hands flying over her mouth as tears began to leak from her eyes.

"Natasha..." she whispered, rivers of tears lightly flowing down her beautiful face.

"Bryce," Natasha said, trying to keep her voice steady as she pulled out a very small box from her pocket. She carefully lifted the top to reveal a diamond-studded ring. "Will you marry me?"

Bryce nodded immediately, bursting into sobs of joy.

"Yes, yes, yes, I will!" she exclaimed.

Natasha stood, crying as hard as Bryce was, and slipped the ring onto her finger. 

For once in her life, she had someone to open up to and share her life with. Her new life, that was.

And her new life started right at that moment.
