I'll Always Love You - A Romanogers Fanfic

24

NATASHA'S POV

"It's almost 9 pm let's go Romanoff" Agent Hill yells from the other side of my door banging it waking me up from a shitty nap. I sit up in my bed. I'm nauseous, and I feel like I could keep sleeping for the rest of the day. And actually when I think about it, I've been nauseous for a couple of weeks. It's probably mostly the altitude, so I ignore it and find my stuff.

I get ready in my catsuit and with my gear, and meet the rest of the team, including Steve in the small conference room.
Steve and I glance at each other, accidentally the same time and I meet his kind eyes. They look sad as he sees me. I can feel the need to kiss him run through me, and I immediately look away, trying to make it go away.
Why? What is he doing to me?

I look at his perfectly displayed abs in his suit. God he's so hot. I miss him. Miss his innocence, miss his touch. Everything about him.

"Agent Romanoff?" Hill says waking me up from my daydreaming.
"Yes?" I look at her.
"Are you ready? We're taking off now" she says.
"I'm ready" I say, and we transfer to the smaller Quinjet.

We go over the plan one last time before we start hovering, 100 feet above the HYDRA helicarrier.
We're lucky with the cloudy weather, it makes it impossible to see us from the deck of the helicarrier.

I get ready with the rappelling gear and the rope is thrown out of the gate in the back.

"We're just above the most discreet place that we could find, are you ready Agent Romanoff?" Agent Carter says from the control panel.
"Ready" I say and check for the last time, that I have my gear and my communicator.
I buckle up and get ready to slide down the rope.
"Update us when you find the safest way for Captain Rogers to enter, and take out guards if necessary" Agent Hill says.
I nod and start sliding down the rope in the ice cold weather.
It goes smooth, but slow as I scan my surroundings.

"I'm in" I whisper to my wrist when I open the almost frozen metal door on the side of where I landed.
I search the inside, finding three entrances and exits.
I spot a couple of HYDRA agents, but none of them sees me.

"Send St-..uh..I mean Captain Rogers down now" I say. Great time to mix personal life and work together, I think to myself.
"Copy that" Steve says on the other end.

"I'm in. Romanoff do you copy?" Steve whispers from the other end.
"I copy" I say.
"Go!" He says and before the line disconnects, I can hear him set off in a sprint.

I find the control room to find the data when two HYDRA agents sees me.
"Black Widow!" One of them exclaims in a strange accent.
"No, actually I'm just the discount version" I say with a smile, and tackles the one that comes running towards me.
The other one starts shooting but I use the first one as a boost to get on the shoulders of the shooter.
I use my legs to strangle him while I smash my elbow into his skull.
The first one gets up and I -still with my legs around the shooters throat - manage to get a widow bite out of my thigh holster.
I throw it at the agent on the way to hit the alarm.
The electricity makes her legs fail and causes her to fall to the floor.
I force the gun out of the hand of the agents who's shoulders I'm on and I kick him to the floor and in a smooth motion loads the gun and holds it to his head.

I blow a bit of hair out of my mouth.
"I'm not even sorry" I say with a grin and tase him with my mini taser.
They both groan in pain as I achieve the data.

STEVE'S POV

"You got it?" I ask Natasha as we collide in the hallway.
She shows me a USB and nods.
"Let's find the manual then" I say and we continue down a darker, slimmer hallway to avoid being seen by the HYDRA agents whose footsteps can be heard from the bigger hallway.

We find the room that supposedly should be the location of the manual, and we hear footsteps coming from both sides.
"We got you!" One yells.
Nat and I exchange a look.
I wipe a bit of blood from my previous encounters with some guards out of my eye.
"I could do this all day" I say and get my shield in position.
"And I'm definitely going to step on your moments" Natasha says with a mocking smile.

Two thirds of the agents are down when I lock eyes with Natasha.
"A boost?" I ask when her look tells me she wants to do a flying kicking and punching session. I know she loves those.
"Yes please" she says.
I get my shield ready and she gets ready, run towards me, jump on my shield, and I give it a slight nudge, and she flies into the crowd of confused HYDRA agents.

When she lands in her signature pose on the other side of the crowd half the agents are on the floor groaning in pain.
"Get it! I'll keep the rest out of your hair" I scream through the crowd.
"Thanks!" She yells back.

I throw my shield one last time, knocking the last agent down when I hear a gunshot and a painful scream from the other room. Natasha's scream.

"Nat!" I yell and burst into the room, to find Natasha on the floor, with a small pool of blood beneath her. She's been shot in the abdomen and she's losing blood, and she's losing it fast.

"Nat" I say a little lower and look around for the shooter that's nowhere to be found before I kneel down to her. She throws up and look at me.
"We need the Quinjet leveled and easy to enter, Natasha's been shot, she's vomiting, and she's bleeding out fast" I say in my communicator before I put my shield on my back and pick her up in my arms.
"Copy that Captain Rogers" Agent Hill says.
"I was actually starting to embrace the other gun wound, you know maybe not bye bye bikinis after all, but now.." she says and smiles weakly. "Oh and I still have the manual" she adds and waves a blue piece of paper in front of me.
I smile at how she tries to keep up my spirit, even though she's injured.
"Good thing you got the manual" I say, trying to stay calm, but my heart is racing, and she can hear that.
"Relax Steve, I'm not dying" she says with a giggle as we get to another hallway.
No she absolutely is not. I'm way too in love with her to let that happen.

An alarm starts blaring.
"Activating destruction of helicarrier due to hostile intrusion" a mechanic voice says.
"Maybe now we're dying" Natasha says calmly as I set off, running towards the exit.

"8...7...6...5" the voice says just as I get outside to the Quinjet.
Natasha gets out of my grip and jumps over herself, but makes a face in pain and falls down to the floor with the hand to her stomach.

"2...1"
I jump off the helicarrier and lands on the Quinjet, and the second I land we get away, just out of reach for the giant explosion of the HYDRA helicarrier.
