Hidden behind closed doors

Part Twenty

Harper's POV

It had been a few days since Natasha had come home from the hospital. She was mostly on bed rest, or at least until her ribs had healed. You had been doing a lot for her. Helping her out of bed or bringing her food and drinks. Yous would spends a lot of time together watching movies or stupid tv shows but you could tell Natasha was getting irritated with the fact she couldn't do anything by herself.

She was a very independent woman but not that she had to be slightly more reliant on other it was really getting to her.

You where training in the training room. Thor was helping you with some boxing. Natasha obviously wanted to join but couldn't so instead she decided to watch.

Thor had the pads on and was letting you punch him. "Left, right, left, right, Hook!" He shouted as you swung your hands in the direction he told you too.

You where bouncing back and forth on your toes waiting for the next set of directions "Right, Left Duck!" He shouted again, you proceeded to punch with your right then left then ducking while Thor swung at you. "Good, your getting better, okay a little quicker" you quickly pushed your left braid out of your way and started to bounce back and forth on your toes again.

"Right, left, right, left duck" Thor Said this time a bit faster. You punch with all your might before ducking as soon as you where back uo from the duck Thor shouted again. "Left, right, left right, right, right  duck, left right" agin you punched with all your might ducking before jumping back up to punch out the last two directions.

You proceeded to do this for maybe ten minutes, the sweat was dripping off of you. Thor decided it was maybe was best if you both stopped and took a small break. You smiled at him as you ripped your gloves off and turned to talk to Natasha but realised she wasn't their. "Did she leave?" Thor turned back to look at you and shrugged looking just as confused as you.

He chucked you a bottle of water which you caught and opened it up downing the bottle of ice cold water. "Ahh that's better" both of you laughed.

You sat down on the bench next to Thor and spoke with him for a little bit you couldn't take your mind off where Natasha had gone. 'Maybe she got bored and went back to her room' or 'maybe she was hungry' there was a wide range of possibilities you tried not to think about it to much as you still had maybe an hour of a workout left to go.

"You want to do some weights or Treadmill or something?" He asked turning to face you taking a sip from his water offering you some after he drank, a devilish smirk popped onto your face. "Want to race?"

You saw him smirk aswell, Thor was always down for a challenge. "Let's do it" he stood up reaching out to help you up aswell. You both grabbed another bottle of water each and headed over to the treadmills.

You'd where based their for almost 50 minutes. Every five minutes yous upped the speed until you saw Thor start to struggle, he was fast and had decent CRE but overall you where the long distance runner. Steve had turned up during the last five minutes of you and Thors race. He watched yous from the door but you spotted him.

You turned to him and laughed before saying "I can do this all day" He smirked and laughed a little at you before Thor turned to you and groaned "I'm done" he stopped his treadmill and got off falling to the floor where it was nice and cold.

You laughed to yourself throwing your hands up in the air while you kept running and shouted "I am victorious" Steve and Thor both laughed at you before you stopped the treadmill and got off grabbing a hand towel and wiping some of the sweat off your body.

You threw the towel at Thor letting him do the same before walking towards Steve. "Have you see Nat?" He shook his head and apologised "nope sorry" you sighed grabbing your things and leaving the training room.
