Oscar POV-

Y/N wrote up the mission report and sent it directly to Fury, it detailed everything we did. She also shipped the guns we used, prints wiped clean off the grips as well as the ammunition, that's where most people got caught.

It had been 2 days since that and Y/N hadn't left her room. I'd taken food and water in throughout the day but all she was doing was laying in bed.
I was beginning to get worried and I didn't know what to do, most soldiers struggle once they leave and I think that's what Y/N was feeling right now.

I checked in her room and she was asleep, sneaking in, I took her phone and unlocked it.
She had plenty of missed calls and texts from a women called Maria, a women she had spoken about plenty whilst we were away and I knew what I had to do.

Y/N POV-

Something had changed when I got back, I thought I'd be okay with losing the Red Emperor but I wasn't, he slipped through my fingers again.
All the damage he caused and the pain he made people endure made this even harder, I was so close but I just couldn't get it.

The last few days had been a struggle, Oscar was trying his best but sometimes you just need to shut yourself down to restart.

It was a new day and I woke up late, a familiar figure next to me
Maria- afternoon sleepy head
Y/N- what are you doing here?
Maria- Oscar said you were struggling so he rang me
Y/N- I'm fine
Maria- you haven't left your bed since you got back?
Y/N- what? That's perfectly normal
Maria- Nope. Get up, we've got work to do
Y/N- Fury said I can go back when I feel like it
Maria- not that work dummy, you've got a party to go to tonight.
Y/N- I am not going
Maria- yes you are, now get up or I'll drag you out of this bed.
Y/N- how long do I have?
Maria- 20 minutes
Y/N- I need 45
Maria- done.

I rolled out of bed, Maria watching the whole time. A quick shower and I felt fresher than ever.
I walked back in and she was sat on my bed, her eyes looking me and up down
Y/N- see something you like?
Maria- always do
I walk over and straddled her lap, my legs either side of her and my nude core hovering above hers.
Y/N- why go to a party when we can do this?
My lips graze over hers as we get closer and she leans in
Y/N- oh honey, we're going to be late
I pull myself away and her audible grunt is satisfying
Maria- we can be late
Y/N- Shield agents don't do late, now leave my home and get ready. I'll meet you there.

I had got dressed and I wanted to impress, it had been so long since I'd seen everyone properly and I needed to look good.
I searched through my wardrobe for what felt like forever before finding the perfect outfit for tonight.
Taking my time, I get changed spraying a little perfume as well.
I was ready and I was feeling good.

This outfit was going to impress and that's exactly what I was going for

I arrived at the party on my own, Oscar out with some old friends.
My old parking spot empty as it was still designated for me, meaning I'd always be family here.

The room was busy, a lot of people I didn't know as I searched around, sets of eyes locking with mine.

Nat POV-

I headed into the party late, after those masked men held us all hostage, I just needed a little time to myself before this.

The main room was full and the party was bouncing, Maria stood talking to Wanda whilst Steve, Clint and Bucky were welcoming guests in.
Tony as always as being the centre of attention until everyone's eyes fell on one person, someone none of us had seen in a long time.

Nat- Y/N?
Wow, she looked incredible.
She walked her way to the bar taking a seat on one of the stools.
Maria- give her some time to settle in, she's not adjusting very well
Nat- what do you mean?
Maria- it's the first time she's left her bed in 3 days.
Nat- I didn't even know she was back
Maria- neither did I till this morning.

Wanda made her way over as Y/N downed her first glass of whiskey, she was on a mission tonight.

Y/N POV-

I'd been sitting at the bar on my own for a while when a figure appeared next to me.
Wanda- it's good to see you again
Y/N- it's been a while
She leaned over and I hugged her back, I knew what leaving must have done to her and I needed to make it right.
Wanda- I can feel your pain, it's very overwhelming
Y/N- that's why we drink, alcohol for all
Wanda- you know that won't help right?
Y/N- I know, I just need to figure everything out
Wanda- just let people help you

I go to reply when I feel a hand on my shoulder, another redhead now stood to my side
Nat- do you mind if I borrow Y/N?
Wanda- go for it.
She walks away back towards Vision, now sat on the sofa area waiting for her.

A glass placed in front of me and I take a sip as I look at Natasha
Y/N- you look nice tonight
Nat- thank you, you are just wow
Y/N- first time dressing up in a while so I thought I'd make an effort
Nat- how long have you been back?
Y/N- a few days, not too long

This was awkward, I could feel there was something she wanted to say but she wasn't going to.
Y/N- you can just ask whatever you want
Nat- were you going to tell me you were back?
Y/N- eventually

I look back down at my drink, finishing it in one as she disappears from my side, now stood at Steve's.
Tony- Y/N come join us

Here we go again, another one of Tony Starks infamous games.
I took a seat on the chair, Maria taking the opportunity of a lack of seats by placing herself on my lap.
My arm wrapped around her waist as her arm wrapped around my neck, leaning in close.

Eyes on us as the games begin, drinks flowing and the night was only young.
