Toxic - A Natasha Romanoff x Female Reader Story

Chapter 11

Natasha's POV:

I let Wanda sleep in my bed for the night and I couldn't get even a wink of sleep. I was sat up watching Wanda all night considering I couldn't sleep, she kept twitching and frowning sometimes so I think she was having a bad dream.

I feel awful for having to leave her this morning but, I need to do this. It's eating at me more because of what we established last night, I didn't even think she thought of me in that way, but I'm happy she does. I grew attached to her as soon as she came to the compound, immediately took her under my wing. I wonder if she'll want to make it an official guardianship? Stop overthinking it Natas-

"You're mumbling."

I'm taken away from my thoughts by a sleepy voice and I look over at Wanda and I smile softly.

"Sorry Wands, I didn't mean to wake you up."

I watch her as she sits up rubbing her eyes and looking around and then she stares at me.

"You haven't slept have you? You should sleep."

I raise my eyebrow at her.

"I'm your mother, you can't tell me what to do. Besides, I'm okay, I was just thinking about...stuff."

I see her smile wide when I refer to myself as her Mother. I smile back and she tilts her head at me and I laugh gently.

"What kind of stuff?"

"Well, I feel like I'm gonna need to change my hair if I'm not wanting to be spotted straight away. I was thinking cut short and platinum blonde."

She nods slowly and then smiles at me.

"I can do it for you! I have done it before, honest! I dyed Pietr-"

She goes silent and looks down beginning to pick at her nails. I smile sadly at her and take a seat next to her rubbing her back.

"I know it's still hard, but he'd be proud of you. You've accomplished so much in such a short time. I'm proud of you too."

She smiles sadly back at me and I stand up.

"Come on then, let's get my hair done."

She squeals excitedly and sprints out of the room, I assume she's going to get ready. I grab my duffle bag to check everything over once more. My thoughts are again disturbed when I hear a knock on my door.

"Come in! You don't need to knock every time you want to come in Wan- Oh, it's you."

I cross my arms giving Tony a harsh glare.

"What do you want Tony?"

"I came to ask if you could give me the information on where the girl is."

I scoff at him.

"I thought I'd fucked up? That you were capable of doing it yourself? That I'm a traitor?"

"Give it a rest will you? Are you gonna help or not?"

I go to shout at him but Wanda comes bursting in.

"Mom, I got it!"

Tony's head snaps to her and she falls silent and comes to stand behind me and I look straight at him.

"I think we're done here, now get the hell out of my room."

He looks between me and Wanda and I feel her slide her hand into mine and I softly squeeze it. Tony then scoffs at me and walks out slamming the door and I groan in frustration.

"Fucking prick."

Wanda leans into my side and I sigh.

"You're gonna be okay right?"
