So I managed to hold out like three days... this is quite a nice one, nothing serious. It just gives a bit of backstory I guess. So I don't have many people readings this at the moment in fact I think I have like one, but please comment and tell me what you think... like I really really want to know super bad. Also I know it's a slow burn so I'm going to explain how this will work:
Ok so both Bucky and Robyn have severe PTSD and other mental issues though Robyn hides it better, and I didn't want to rush into a relationship. These people haven't had anyone to trust for several years. I want them to go from buddies, to close friends, then to lovers (god who says that anymore 😂) and I want it to feel real. But don't worry they will end together eventually. I mean that was the point if the fic. Enjoy!

It had been just over a month since Robyn first arrived when Natasha asked if she'd enjoy some sparring practice.
Having gained her strength back, Robyn wasn't going to refuse.

Since that first day, she'd spent a lot of time in the room Toby had allocated for her, coming down for meals and occasionally when a board game was being played. Not to play it though, just to sit and watch Nat domineer them in every game played. Apart from monopoly. Tony always won monopoly.

A few times at dinner she'd stand up and leave quite suddenly, but after the first time the team stopped questioning it, Tony explaining that after so many years alone she needed air occasionally.

They stopped questioning a lot of things after a while, like why she only ever smiled with her eyes, and not her whole face, and why she hated anyone ever mentioning S.H.I.E.L.D, and even why some nights she didn't say a word, but retreated into her room, and came out next morning with splashes of paint on her hands and yes, bags under her eyes, but as both Bucky and Tony noticed, Tony voicing his thoughts, Bucky keeping them quiet, she always seemed happier afterwards.
So Natasha asking if she wanted to spar was kind of a risk, them not knowing how she'd take it. But on a Tuesday, when Natasha headed down to the training room, Robyn was already there, fingering the blades lined up along the wall.

"Szia* Nat."

"Hey. So you uh, want to start? I promise I'll go easy."

Robyn chuckled softly.
"At your own peril. And Tony, stop lurking behind the door, I know you want to see this."

Tony stepped sheepishly out and went to sit on a plastic chair at the side.

"No weapons?" Asked Natasha.

"No weapons."

The two assassins stood, stock still, watching each other. Then Natasha swung up her foot and knocked Robyn's legs from beneath her. She hit the floor with a thump.
"At my own peril huh," Natasha grinned good naturally, and turned away. And then she was on the floor, pinned down and helpless.

Robyn was on top of her, fingers sitting on top of the jugular vein.
"I quite agree."

She rolled off the other woman and onto her feet, holding out a hand as she did so. Grabbing it Natasha pulled herself up, the shock still traced on her face.

"Well..." and then quite suddenly she burst out laughing. Soon after, Tony started to smirk as well and by the time Bruce came down to see what they were doing, even Robyn was smiling slightly.

As they got ready to continue with the training, Natasha looked over at Robyn, who was setting up a target.

"Why do you have a British accent. I mean, I assume you were born here but earlier...I don't even know what you said when you came in?"

"My.. my dad, he had a rather posh British accent from his years traveling overseas, and I guess it just passed on to me. I also spent a few years in London back in 2004, so that would have had some effect. The language was Hungarian. My Mother's native language"

"Ah, that explains it.".....

*this is in Hungarian, just thought I'd let you know, her adopted mother Ana Jarvis was Hungarian and so I thought it would be nice for her to have grown up knowing the language. Though as she also knows like three other languages I will tell you what language it is so u can translate, also I'm not bilingual in any way so if I mess up a translation please tell me.
