White Knight

Sleeping beauty

Natasha POV

Well, he is officially awake so all the wining and the daily reminder the he "sacrificed" his life for Tonys will now be over. Tony has been blaming himself for months and Pepper has only just found out what happened which means more arguments. After seeing sleeping beauty awake and putting Fury in his place asking for a suit and a phone call with his boss made him seem more assertive and confident for a man who was clearly in pain when he stood it hardly showed the twitch in his right eye and the corner gave it away for me. Pepper liked him already, he respected her position not as Tony's wife but as Ceo. Wanda had said he was an attractive man that got Vision all caught up in jealousy I didn't think he could have. The boys wanted to know what abilities he had and were hoping to get him to train with them Bucky Sam and Steve all like the fact he had military Background and they could share "War Stories" when he was finally awake. Peter wanted to see his suit he said the way the others had explained it "sounded awesome" I didn't quite understand the huge excitement. He was another guy that had a job to do like the rest of us.

I walked into the common room and everyone was sat doing their own thing I started to make some food for myself when Tony came in. "Did you tell them Nat?" he asked me I shook my head and he practically jumped out of his skin. " He's Awake!" he beamed as he told everyone as they all spun their heads around to Tony.

"Can we meet him?" Peter said all hopeful like he was getting a new puppy.

"Is he doing okay it's been 2 months?" Wanda said all concerned and dipped her head down when she met Visions eyes.

"Where is he then?" Sam piped in expecting Tony to be showing him around by now.

"He is on a call with the Prime Minister and has to file a Mission report and then he will come and meet everyone. I was thinking maybe we could throw a party for our new guest?" Tony replied to Sam and looked at everyone nodding their head to the party idea I scoffed and headed down to the training room.

Down in the training room, I decided I needed to work on my situational environment. After Y/N had shot that Hydra Agent from over my shoulder I realised he not only saved Tony that day but for me I hated myself for it. I was the black widow, I should have known he was there and shouldn't have let my guard down. I loaded up the simulator for a solo challenge and began to fight my way through I was getting tired and exhausted I had no idea what level I was on now. When all of a sudden the simulation ended as an enemy had shot me from the side. *Level 104 completed Miss Romanoff the last record was level 93* F.R.I.D.A.Y said to me as it shut down. It had been two hours in the simulation I walked over to grab my water

"Got to say Agent Romanoff I'm impressed, I knew your skill set was extremely advanced and one day wishes to test your hand to hand combat in a sparring match" he laughed as he walked into the gym from leaning on the door.

"You wouldn't last in a Sparing match Soldier boy." I rolled my eyes "I'm guessing Tony has given you the tour and the join the Avengers speech" I said while walking to the door.

"No actually not yet your the first person I have seen since my mission report meeting with the prime minister. I must apologise for our first encounter" he said which stopped me in my tracks.

"What about it? How was the meeting I take it you be back in London soon?" I replied walking alongside him now waiting to understand this apology.

"I was set on my mission to take out Mark as he was a Hyrda weapons dealer, to my understanding you had purposely been captured so you were able to investigate and interrogate the man to find out his connection and as I completed my mission I also jeopardised you own, therefore I apologise. As for my meeting with the Prime Minister I have been actively discharged from duty of her majesties secrets service for not working with due care and attention." He replied keeping the exact tone the whole way through not showing any emotion about losing his job or anything altho his apology seemed genuine this man made me extremely curious the more time we were around each other. He seemed similar to me even mirrored me. I respected him more than I wanted to. I trusted him for an unknown reason. I also felt guilty for the fact the man had lost his job because of a mission where we were present.
