White Knight

Emotions

Your pov

After walking away I calmed down, it was nice not having everyone sympathy staring down at me. The room was silent like they had just watched someone kick a puppy. I knew my story was dark and not the best, I knew Natasha's was similar. She was probably crying because it reminded her of her past, the history of the two organisations overlapped one was for Boys to make them the Knights of the shadows, one for girls to be weapons in plain sight. The methods they used were effective. I took off my shirt and lead down on the bed revelling in what the Avengers now thought of me a mess the scars littered all over my body showed that. I was locked in my thoughts until a small knock hit the door. I had more expected to be Wanda after the response to my past than she had I knew she would want space to deal with her emotions, we were trained to have none. I stood up to answer the door, as I opened it Natasha stood there. Her eyes dropped to my chest that was bare which now showed every single scar that littered my body, I opened the door wider and motioned her inside. I shut the door behind her and grabbed a t-shirt from the floor and threw it over my head.

"Hey..." I said quietly, as we moved to sit on my bed.

"They nearly killed you. You didn't even know me." She said her eyes burning into me. A fire in her voice she was angry and almost like venom. "You fucking read my mind! You stopped our fight to stop me from going hungry and being locked up. You could have killed after that." She started to raise her voice spiting with the same venom. She was so angry and I couldn't tell why so I sat in silence so she could get all of her anger out. "YOU THEN FUCKING CAME BACK!" A sharp fire like pain then cracked across my face, she fucking slapped me. "YOU WENT BACk TO THEM!" She was so angry. "You could have left with me, Why didn't you? Did you want them to kill you?!" She stepped back after the slap I didn't move I didn't flinch. The tears from her face falling every second, every emotion she had ever suppressed was spiralling out of control. She moved closer to cover the bright red mark she had plastered on my face. I didn't move, her hand stroked the heat that was left. I lifted my hand to meet hers and pulled it from my face and kissed the palm of her hand.

"Natalia, I was young. The day I met you the way your stare set my stomach into knots and my heart was racing, I swore to myself I would protect you. So I did the only way I knew how to save you from our similar hell, set you free to live your life. I went back to them after I set you free because they had groomed me into thinking that was the best way for me to protect you and the rest of the world. I was wrong, but if I had left with you that day all the other boys who were trapped in the same compound as I would never have been free. So I don't regret saving you and receiving the cuts and bruises from our first encounter and I don't regret going back to save those boys. I regret not having more time with you, to get to know the amazing stong Black Widow and watching you grow into the kind-hearted but still just as deadly person you are today." I took her hands in mine as I spoke softly and calmly helping her deal with all of her emotions.

"Мне жаль, что я ударил тебя, любовь моя" (I'm sorry I slapped you, my love) she moved closer to kiss my cheek as she spoke to show she truly meant it. "I am glad our paths crossed again"

"Natalia, the day of that mission we met remembered you. I couldn't believe it was you, I spent hours tracking you and building a file on you, so check-in wasn't going insane. Did you think I would take on a full hydra base all alone?" I couldn't help but smirk at the last part of my sentence.

"You knew we would be there? Then you jumped in front of a gun. Do you want to be slapped again?" She laughed and I nodded at the first question.

"Natalia, I let you slap me the first time. Do not make me pin you to the wall." I challenged.

"Hmm, I can't tell if that was meant to be as dirty as you made it sound." Her eyes darkened slightly showing the lust slipping through.

"You are pure trouble. I want to make up for the lost time we have had. I want to get to know you." I stood up and pulled away from her.

"You are a tease, but a true gentleman. How about a sparring match?" a smile plastered across her face as she moved toward the door.

"Meet there принцесса" (Princess) I teleported down to the gym after stopping by the kitchen for two water bottles. "Take your time Natalia." I couldn't help but joke as she entered the gym.

"You call me that around anyone, I will kill you myself." She said as she entered the ring.

"Counting on it." I winked as I jumped in the ring, with her as she rolled her eyes. "So how about we go back to our game you pin me, you get a question. I pin you, I get a question."

"Deal," She said as she flew at me and I caught and blocked her punches. She kept moving and changing techniques, it's amazing how much we had improved in the last year's, I never noticed it before. I grabbed her wrists and threw her to the floor using my weight to pin her to the floor.

"My question, What did you do after you left that night?" I said as I extended a hand for her to stand as she went to answer.

"Me and one of the girls I classed as my sister, found a small abandoned apartment to stay in for a few days we quickly managed to get jobs with businessmen wanting their rivals dead. Which then led to more and more jobs, causing Sheild to come and shut down our little operation, she has been in hiding since and not even I have been able to track her." She finished and got ready to attack, but this time waiting for my first move, as I went to move she swiped at my leg and pinned me to the floor her body pressed closely against mine sending fire down every little part of me. "My turn, What was it like in the Army?" She slowly moved off me trailing her hands down my arms as she stood. "It was like a family I guess we all would have laid our lives down for one another, however, they never came back or looked for me. They assumed I was tortured and then killed after not providing any information." We stood opposite one another again this time both lunged at one another throwing everything we had learned into action the sly tactics the fast fake punches, the kicks and blocks. As we became out of breath I let my guard down with a kick which she used to throw me to the floor. "Did you miss me?" I want to expect that. "I missed that spark of fire in your eye when I challenge you, and your bright smile." as she blushed she loosened her grip on me and I used this to my advantage and rolled us so I was pinning her to the floor. "Can I take you on a date, Natalia?"
