Natasha woke up to the sound of the door creaking open. She looks over and notices Steve poking his head into the room. Steve looks over to the bed, jumping when he sees Natasha staring back at him. He silently creeps over to her side of the bed.
"Didn't expect to see you here." Steve whispers, eyeing Natasha.
"Sh, don't wake them." Natasha says, nodding towards Wanda and Y/n who is sleeping protectively between the two older women. "Why are you here?" Natasha whispers, letting her annoyance be heard.
"Found this in the hall. Thought someone might need it." Steve says, holding up the bunny.
"Thanks." Natasha says grabbing it and setting it next to y/n.
"Want to come train?" Steve asks, knowing the spy usually isn't able to fall back asleep after being awoken.
"No, I think I'll stay here." Natasha smiles.
"Alright, sleep well." Steve says silently walking out.
Natasha gave one more look over Wanda and y/n before slowly closing her eyes and letting sleep overtake her.
-------
A couple hours later Wanda woke up to the sun hitting her eyes. She slowly opened her eyes, immediately smiling when noticing not only y/n was in her bed but also Nat. Y/n was cuddling into Nat while Nat had both arms wrapped securely around her.
Wanda took a moment to enjoy this new softer side of Natasha she is seeing. One of the world's deadliest spies cuddling. A view few would believe, everyone knows Nat is not a fan of physical contact.
Wanda's thoughts are interrupted by her stomach growling. She looked over to the clock. 9:48 am. Wanda paused before looking at it again. She never sleeps this late, Nat usually can't make it past 4am.
Wanda slowly sneaks out the bed to head down to make breakfast for the three of them. Once she gets to the kitchen she sees Steve already making some food while Tony is putting stuff away.
"Ahh, look who finally got up!" Steve says, seeing Wanda walking over.
"Guess I needed more sleep than I thought. Why are you cooking?" Wanda asks, a bit confused.
"Peter just got up, guess you need as much sleep as a teenager." Steve joked. "Is Natasha and y/n coming down?" Steve asked, hoping to see them.
"They are still sleeping, y/n headspace seems pretty young. I assume she will need more sleep than the rest of us." Wanda says, explaining the situation to the two leaders.
"Good to know." Steve says, returning back to making breakfast.
"Speaking of the little. I went shopping this morning, bought some things I thought y/n might need. I didn't know the exact headspace she is in, so I bought stuff for each." Tony says holding up a sippy cup and bottle.
"Thanks Tony, you didn't have to do that." Wanda says honestly.
"I know, I wanted to." Tony says getting back to putting stuff away.
A peaceful silence falls over the group as Wanda makes herself some tea, waiting to use the kitchen after Steve.
As she sits reading with her tea she hears footsteps approaching. Turning she sees Natasha coming down carrying y/n. Wanda can tell y/n just woke up, seeing as she looks like she is still on the edge of it.
"Morning." Natasha says sitting down next to Wanda.
"Morning, Could I make you girls something for breakfast?" Steve says still making some waffles and eggs for Peter.
"That would be lovely, wouldn't it y/n." Wanda says, only getting a small nod from her.
"Thanks Steve." Natasha says looking over at him.
"Hey baby girl." Natasha says looking down at y/n. "What do you want to drink? Water, juice, milk?" Natasha asks.
Y/n furrows her brows thinking. "uice" Y/n mumbles into Nat neck.
Wanda hears her and smiles, "I'll get it."
Wanda grabs one of the sippy cups Tony just got and fills it with juice before placing the cap on it and heading back to the pair.
"Here you go y/n" Wanda says, placing it in front of her.
"T'anks" Y/n says, peeking her head out of Nats neck to look at Wanda.
After a few minutes Steve carries over four plates to the table. "Mind if I eat with you?" Steve asks, unsure of y/n comfort level yet.
"No problem. Thanks for breakfast." Wanda says.
Y/n stays on Nats lap, refusing to move. But neither Wanda or Natasha put up much of a fight. Knowing how stressful the last 48 hours had been for her. Natasha feeds y/n a bit between every couple of hers.
After Steve and Wanda finish eating they help Nat cut up the food into smaller bites to feed y/n. After finishing eating, y/n is more awake and curious.
Natasha notices y/n peeking her head out of her neck more looking around the compound and its inhabitants. Natasha bounces y/n a bit to get her attention.
"Hey sweetheart, there is someone I want you to meet if that's okay." Natasha whispers so only y/n can hear.
Y/n nods looking at Natasha.
"Okay you see that man across the table from us?" Natasha says smiling.
Y/n peeks her head out and looks at him quickly before putting it back securely in Natasha's neck, nodding into it.
"That's my friend. His name is Steve. Do you think you could say Hi to him?" Natasha asks.
Y/n whines a bit into Natashas neck, not wanting to speak to anyone. Wanda catches it and rubs y/n back.
"It's okay baby, he is really nice." Wanda whispers.
Y/n just shakes her head in Natashas neck.
"It's okay, I don't want to overwhelm her. We need to go at her pace" Steve says, grabbing the empty plates to go to the dishes. Wanda gives him a sympathetic nod and smile.
As the trio tries to decide on what to do, Peter runs in.
"Whoa isn't that Surge?!" Peter says loudly, noticing y/n in Natashas lap.
Clearly the young Avenger had not been given the memo. Earning glares from all of them.
Y/n immediately tenses at the name and starts crying. Natasha rubs her hand up and down y/n back trying to sooth her. However, it doesn't seem to be helping at all. Y/n cries only becoming louder, as she gasps for air. The electricity in the room flickering with each cry.
Natasha looks over at Wanda with pleading eyes. Hoping she has some idea that could help.
Wanda does the only thing she can think of. Wanda stands up and joins Y/n on Natashas lap and hugs around her. Encasing y/n between the two Avengers. Wanda quietly starts to sing a Sokovian lullaby her mother would sing to her. Swaying y/n and Natasha to it. After a few minutes y/n calms down and the electricity in the room evens out with it.
"I see why they call her Surge." Peter whispers to Steve. Earning a deadly glare from Natasha.
