Toxic - A Natasha Romanoff x Female Reader Story

Chapter 18

Y/N's POV:

It's been a few days since we arrived back at the compound after that mess we had with Gareth. I've had strict orders, both medical and personal, from Bruce and Nat that I am not to leave my bed in the medbay. I've watched as countless times Tony has tried to come in to most likely interrogate me or at least have a go at me for the danger Nat and Wanda got into. Only to be met with a very defensive Natasha who ends up sending him away. I've never felt so bad, all I wanted to do was keep the, both safe and I got them both in danger. I don't even know how I'm going to redeem myself. Maybe it would be best if I just left. Didn't tell anybody anything and I just left to make sure that it'll keep everyone safe. It's not like a majority of the Avengers would believe me if I told them all I had was good intentions anyways.

I sigh to myself flicking through the channels on the TV. I'm on my own because Nat and Wanda had to go to a meeting. It's not very often that Nat leaves my side, I can feel she has this massive amount of guilt holding onto her because of what happened. She has no need to feel guilty though, it's my own fault. I look to the chair next to me and I slowly lean to grab the blanket that is draped over it and I move it towards my face gently smelling it relaxing. It smells like Nat's cherry perfume. I hear shouting down the hallway and I turn my head to the door and my breathing starts getting heavier and more panicked. I hold my hand to my chest trying to calm myself down clutching Nat's blanket and Tony barges through the door and I look over at him scared.

He storms his way over to me snapping at me.

"That's it Y/N. Enough is enough and you're going to tell me everything that I want to know. Got it?!"

I panic more my breathing becoming ragged and he goes to grab my shirt but I can't help the outburst of my powers from my fear and he ends up being thrown across the room, by me. My face falls and I begin crying as he slowly stands up looking at the rest of the team.

"What did I tell you?! She's dangerous! She needs locking up."

I look down at my hands that are shaking, the familiar blue mist engulfing them. I can't stop it. I know that everyone's eyes are on me and I can't do anything except let the tears fall. I hear the raspiness of Nat's voice break the silence.

"No she isn't Tony! She's hurt and she is scared, you going off on her like that isn't going to help!"

Nat goes to rush over to me but I see her get grabbed by the bow and arrow guy and she struggles in his grip still shouting at Tony.

"She'll tell you anything you want to know! Just leave her alone, please!"

I watch as Tony fully stands up wiping down his clothes and he goes to walk to me again and my path of vision is blocked by the big blonde guy with the hammer. I think Natasha mentioned his name was Thor? I look at him who points his hammer towards Tony.

"Stark, that is enough. Natasha is right, if we just talk to the girl I'm sure she'll tell us what we want to know. Me and Rogers have decided we will be the ones to speak to her. Everyone else seems to have prior negative judgement. It won't be fair if someone who already hates her tries to speak to her."

My body begins to relax and Nat breaks out of Clint's grip coming over to me taking a hold of my hands even with my powers still engulfing them and she turns my head to look her in the eyes.

"Y/N, I'm not afraid of you. You're okay. You're not gonna hurt me."

I relax further into my bed the blue mist disappearing and I look at her gratefully and nod. She sits next to me on the bed and I lean into her side throwing a glance at Tony who is glaring at me.
