A New Start

You Have A New Start

It was a normal day in the Stark tower (btw your Tony's daughter), people out patrolling or around the tower doing their own things.

You're lay on your bed watching cartoons, they were your favourite, especially when you knew most of the team were out. You lay there in your penguin oodie and cupcake fluffy socks, under your sheets. You felt safe and protected, away from what seemed like the biggest problems in the world.

You turned off Sponge Bob, as you were giggling too much and didn't want no one to hear, and decided to watch Peppa pig instead. You just started an episode when someone knocked on your door. You jumped at the sound then started scurrying to turn it off.

"Y/n it's me Nat, can I come in" she asked from close outside your door.

"Ye come in" you answer back nervously, as everyone usually did their own thing now and didn't bother talking to each other, unless you were sat in the main room.

She slowly opened the door and came in without opening it too much, and closed it behind her. You looked at her confused, she looked worried. You got scared and looked down and started playing with your hands, not knowing what to do. She could tell you were nervous but not what about, she could read your expression like an open book (to be fair anyone could of, you looked like a nervous wreck).

"Hey y/n, what's wrong? Calm down, it's ok" she said softly walking over and sitting at the end of your bed. Her hand resting on your shoulder to comfort you, you slowly relaxed.

"Thanks Nat, for well um, calming me I suppose" you looked up at her and gave her a slight reassuring smile. You quickly changed the subject "what did you come in here for, I thought you had paperwork to do?"

"Well I've just finished actually and wanted to come and see you" she said lightly taking her hand off of your shoulder. Her expression changed slightly as she began to talk again, "is everything ok, I thought I heard you laughing or something?"

"Oh um well, ye-yeah, it was just a funny video" you tried to make your voice sound as truthful as possible and smiled at her trying to hide your lie. Her face dropped, she knew you lied, obviously she did, she's a spy after all.

"Y/n you do know I don't believe you one bit. I can tell when your lying, it's very obvious" she says as the panic starts to set in, knowing that there was no use in trying to lie again, and if you did you wouldn't be able to make it sound convincing quick enough. "So what is it, what are we watching?" She asked smiling, as she knew you had to tell her now.

"Nothing actually, it just finished" you said knowing that it wasn't entirely a lie, as you had just finished watching what had made you laugh.

"I'm not stupid you know, I heard it from outside your door still playing, aaand you still have YouTube open." She said smiling to herself, and giving you a look that she will make you tell her no matter what.

"I've suddenly got really thirsty, I need a drink, would you like one?" You asked trying to get out of the conversation.

"No, now tell me" she said sternly, slightly raising her voice. Your faced dropping from your smile into a look of absolute fear, you hated when people raised their voice, especially anyone who usually wouldn't. She could instantly tell as she also seen the well of tears forming in your eyes. "I'm sorry" she apologised, but slightly confused.

"It's uh ok don't worry, so would you like a drink?" You say getting up out of bed. Nat shook her head, you took that as you could leave to get some water for yourself. As you went to walk off, she grabbed your arm lightly pulling you back to sit on the bed, giving you an angry look as she did so.

"Your not going anywhere until you tell me, you've been getting really distant from us all as a team and I want to make sure you're ok" saying, having a worried look on both of your faces, "and all you've been doing is giggling to yourself in here and sleeping, what's wrong?"

You took a deep breath and looked down at your hands, your leg started to bounce and your chest moved faster as you panicked, not knowing how to tell her but knew you were going to have to. You were petrified of what she was going to think of you after you told her, you thought she would hate you and never want to look at you again. She noticed how anxious you were, also knowing that you were about to tell her. She slowly turned you to face her, not moving your head though, knowing that you were also embarrassed. Your leg stoped bouncing but you were still picking at the skin on your hands scared. She slowly put her hands down to meet yours and grabbed one in each of her hands, moving them away from each other stopping you from picking at them.

You looked up slowly at her with tears flowing down your face, you managed to compose yourself enough to speak to her, "I-I'm a little" you stuttered out, crying and pulling your hands away, embarrassed at what she would have thought "I-I'm s-sorry Nat, I-I know you hate me now b-but.."

She cuts you off, hugging you. "Don't be silly, I don't hate you, how could I? I'm just so happy you told me, it doesn't change anything of our friendship."she explains softly and slowly moves from the hug. She places her hands on your face, lifting it slowly and wiping away the tears steaming down your face.

"Y-you don't hate me?" Asking confused and sniffling. How could someone not hate you after telling them?

"No, I could never hate you by the way you feel. So, do you want me to watch your program with you now?" She asked smiling as she knew you wanted to, and she now knew your secret.

You nodded and patted next to you, for her to come and sit down. She moved gently, as you started to turn your cartoons back on. You were hesitant, but felt safe knowing she wouldn't judge you.

"Ahh Peppa pig, my favourite" she said with joy as she knew you could trust her. You nodded and let out a little giggle, you were happy for someone to finally know and not judge you.

As you got comfy and curled up, Nat slowly moved you into her arms hugging you. You looked up smiling at her, she paused the program knowing you didn't like people talking through it, as you looked at her confused she waited a moment before asking, "does anyone else know about you being a little". You shook your head and stopped looking at her, as you were embarrassed again. "Would you like me to take care of you?" She asked gently. You looked up at her quick and started to beam with joy and you nodded your head frantically in excitement. "Ok, let's carry on watching this" she said soothingly as she pulled you in for a hug and ran her fingers through your hair.

You settled down and eventually fell asleep in Nat's arms, she turned the tv and light off and lay next to you, also falling asleep.
