Be Still My Heart

Long Flight

Y/N POV-

My dreams were filled with Wanda for the rest of the night. I feel a shift in the bed as I am waking up. I open my eyes to see Wanda looking over at me. "Stalker much?" She rolls her eyes with a smile on her face. "I could tell you were waking up, how did you sleep?"

I look out at the windows and see the sun is already in the sky. "Much better after you woke me. I dreamed about you. I can't believe I slept in past daybreak." I hear some footsteps coming down the hallway but they don't stop at any of the other bedrooms. There is a knock at my door soon after.

Wanda looks at me with pure panic in her eyes. We are both still completely naked under the covers. I roll out from under the covers and run into my closet to find clothes. I call out so whoever is at the door can hear me, "One second!"

I throw one of my hoodies at Wanda and a pair of shorts. I quickly glance in the mirror and see that my neck is covered in hickies. Wanda did get her revenge. I laugh quietly to myself as I throw on a hoodie to hide them for now. Wanda nods her head at me and pulls out her phone to act natural. "Come in."

Nat comes walking in the door in her suit. She quickly scans the room to see Wanda and me. She does her best to hide the smirk on her face with very little success. Nat clears her throat before speaking. "Stark needs us. We have a mission. Suit up."

Wanda POV-

Y/N and I don't get another second to talk. I head to my room and change into my suit while Y/N does the same in her room. I meet her back in the living room with everyone else. Stark pulls out his phone and flips the screen out to show everyone. "It is believed that there is a stolen shipment of vibranium being held here by Hydra forces."

He changes the screen to show a map. "Zanzibar?" Steve tilts his head slightly to look at the map. Stark zooms in on an area close to a labeled airport. "Yes, intel shows that this warehouse might be housing it but not for long. If we are correct, the shipment will move tomorrow morning so we need to infiltrate it today." Stark closes his phone and puts it back in his pocket, "Everyone load up in the Quinjet."

This is going to be a long flight. We shouldn't get there until tonight. I sit down towards the back of the plane. Y/N sits one seat over from me and Nat sits across from us. Steve and Bruce take a seat towards the front while Stark talks to the pilot. Peter went to school. This shouldn't be too dangerous so Stark told him not to come.

"Did you get your sensor to work?" Nat nods her head towards Y/N's torso where her gun is hidden under her jacket. "Yeah, here. Try it." She unclips the gun from her holster and tosses it to Nat. She quickly adjusts it in her hand and tries to undo the safety.

The sensor lights up red as she places her thumb against it. "Damn. That's nice. You don't have to worry about anyone else using your own gun on you. What happens if you just ripped the sensor off?" She flips the gun around barrel towards herself and hands it back to Y/N. "Built in trigger to permanently keep safety locked unless I deactivate it from my Stark phone."

Y/N waves her Stark phone in the air for emphasis. Nat looks impressed. "Can you add them to my guns?" She drops her hands down to rest on the two handguns strapped to her hips. "Remind me when we get back and I can set them up."

She doesn't necessarily try to hide that she is smart but she doesn't flaunt it either. Y/N 's eyes are practically sparkling as she talks with Nat about the sensor she installed. I forget that she is sixty years old when she looks only twenty max. Her knowledge and maturity match her true age. It also explains her relationship maturity.

I notice that she doesn't have any bags under her eyes today. I am glad I was able to help her sleep some last night. She is going to need it for today. Nat excuses herself to the front of the Quinjet to talk to Stark and the pilot after we get into the air.
