Tough Luck | Natasha Romanoff

10. Sick

There is nothing to do so you head to the training room to practice freezing and boiling the water again.

This time however, you brought along trays of cups of water, hoping to be able to cover a bigger surface area.

You line the cups all over the training to gauge how far you can control your power. You try to freeze all the cups but it didn't go all the way, there were a few rows left. You tried and tried again but there was no change. You start to feel cold in your thin clothes so you pack up and leave, there was no need to clean up since you didn't splash water around.

*you sneeze*

You: Oh no...

When you sneeze, you are most definitely always sick. You know you caught a cold from the chill in the training room so you went back to bed. You can feel your body heating up even though your legs are cold. You wrap yourself in the blanket and attempt to sleep in hopes of recovering fast.

Nat: Wanda, do you know where is Y/N?

Wanda: No.. Maybe she's in her room.

Nat: Thanks.

Nat walks into your room and lays in bed next to you.

Nat: Why are you sleeping, I thought you wanted to hang out?

She touches your body trying to shake you up.

Nat: Why are you so hot?

She gets up from the bed and kneels next to you.

Nat: Are you ok? You're having a cold.

Her palm touches your forehead.

You: I am fine, I just need to sleep it off.

You speak softly without opening your eyes as you are having a headache.

Nat: You are not fine, I am getting your sister.

You: WAIT! No, don't tell her. Just say I am tired from training.

Nat: What? You know I can't lie to her.

You: Please...

Nat: I'll just stay here then.

You slept all the way until 9pm without even turning or tossing. When you woke up, Nat was still sitting next to you.

Nat: Feeling better?

You: Better but with a headache.

You rub your temples. You stand up to head to the washroom, but you lose your footing and drop to the floor.

Nat: Are you ok?

You: Yeah.. I need to go to the washroom.

After you come back out.

Nat: You ok?

You: Yeah, just lack of energy and hungry.

Nat: Yeah, you haven't eaten the whole day. Should I make you something?

You: Ok, something light please. I don't have much appetite.

Nat: Alright, you stay here.

Nat leaves the room.

Wanda: How is she?

Nat: What do you mean?

Wanda: She is never quiet for so long. She must be feeling unwell.

Nat: You didn't hear that from me.

Wanda: So, how is she?

Nat: Better. She should be up on her feet by tomorrow.

Wanda: Alright, I'm going to see her.

Wanda leaves the kitchen and walks into your room.

Wanda: You feeling sick?

You: Did Nat tell you?

Wanda: No, I just know you too well. What happened though?

You: I was just trying to practice freezing water. But I guess it got too cold especially with what I was wearing.

Wanda: Look after yourself. You don't want Nat to worry about you.

Nat: It'll be my pleasure.

Wanda: You're here. I'll leave you two to it then.

You drank the soup that Nat cooked and went back to sleep again.
