Wicked Games// Natasha Romanoff

Chapter 9

Natasha did not know what to do, it all happened too fast for her eyes the see, she went to reload her gun and when she turned around, she sees Zoe on the ground unconcise but not dead. Her head was spinning, she didn't know what the hell she was gonna do she couldn't take her to a hospital because they would ask them for their IDs and what happened. They both did not have real ones and she was not just gonna tell them that a couple of hitmen are after her though she wasn't just gonna let her die.

The only solution Natasha had was to take the bullet out and stitch her up herself. When she was young, they trained them for self-aid if they ever get hurt in a mission. Luckily the ally they were in wasn't very deep so nobody witnessed what happened. Natasha took off her jacket and wrapped it around Zoe's wound putting pressure on it. She picked her up and carefully carried her to the car bridal style as she wiped the tears from her eyes. The car was not far away from where they were, but she still got some eyes and weird faces. "What you guys looking at she just got sunstroke nothing bad" Natasha said rolling her eyes to the crowd of people who were staring at her. "Why was I this stupid... I knew this would happen" she said angrily at herself.

As she arrived near the car she placed Zoe in the back seat and fastened her in and as she was gonna leave she heard Zoe mumble her name. She rushed next to her and held her hand "Hey, hey baby it's ok you're fine just stay with me ok". Zoe grabbed hers and smiled back but her eyes closed again and let go of Natasha's hand. Natasha started to tear up again, she rushed to the driver's seat and pressed the gas. 

As they arrived at the cabin Natasha took Zoe out from the back seat trying not to hurt her more and placed her on the bed. Grabbing a bunch of towels Natasha started cleaning the wound up, she then took out tweezers, some treading string and a needle that they had bought yesterday from the store. With her steady hands, Natasha gently took the bullet out which was not very deep and with the needle and treading string she stitched her up. As she was done she went to clean her hands and stayed next to Zoe not taking her eyes off her while waiting for her to wake up.

Two days had passed and Zoe still didn't wake up and Natasha started losing hope that she'll ever wake up. She spend her days near her holding her hand praying for a miracle that she'll wake up and she'll see that beautiful smile once again. She never left her side and cleaned her wound every day. The wound was healing and luckily it did not get infected. "Why wasn't it me? WHY? You can't leave me baby I miss you please wake up" her emotions were taking the best of her. Natasha never thought she would love and care for someone this much in her life she was only trained to kill but never to love and care for someone. She couldn't bear to see her like that so she left her side to relax her mind and smoke a cigarette. She stayed there staring at the stars, praying that she'll wake up anytime soon.

Zoe's eyes snapped open, she was covered in a cold sweat, shaking and her heart was pounding faster than ever. She looked around the room to find no one. "NATASHA! NATASHA!" Zoe screamed breathless thinking that something happened to her. It was the only thing she thought of when she woke up.

"ZOE!" Natasha shouted as she rushed to the room. She ran to her and gave her a tight hug "It's ok baby am here it's ok" Natasha said as she rubbed her back. She then pulled away from the hug and looked at Zoe "Is this a dream?" She said with a smile as she kissed her forehead. "I thought I was gonna lose you don't do that ever again ok! I missed you". Zoe smiled back at her kissing her and with her glowing green eyes looked at her "I missed you to baby and thanks for taking care of me while I was gone." Natasha started crying tears of joy as she hugged her again. "You hungry babe?" Natasha questioned. "Is that really a question of course am hungry" Zoe said with a laugh. "Then let me go make you your favorite sandwich with melted cheese... and don't stress the wound ok?" she said as she left to go to the kitchen.

Zoe stayed in bed while Natasha was in the kitchen, making her a sandwich while still processing what just happened. As she was done she went near Zoe and gave her the sandwich. "OMG, this is so good gosh" Zoe moaned and in a few minutes, the plate was empty. "You just woke up and you're already moaning for a sandwich" Natasha said with a smile and Zoe smiled back. Natasha held her hand and stared at her admiring her every perfect imperfection "There all after me and they won't stop until they have my head on a stick I don't know what to do Zo". Zoe looked at her while softly touching her cheek with her hand "Hey listen to me baby we can do this together". Natasha lowered her head "I don't want to lose you".  Zoe did not know what to say, she didn't want to lose Natasha too.

"Train me"

Zoe then stopped and then started talking again "Well I don't know how to hold a gun but I can always try" she said with a smile but Natasha's face was hard to read. 

"No"
