Tough Luck | Natasha Romanoff

12. Awake

*2 weeks later*

Wanda: Still nothing?

Nat: Nothing.

Wanda: I am going to get something to drink, do you want any?

Nat: No, I am going to get some fresh air.

Wanda comes back after buying her drinks and sees you already sitting up.

You: Hey.

Wanda: Oh my god, you're awake. Wait, let me call Nat back.

---

You: So how did it go?

Wanda: The mission? It went well, Rumlow was sent to Fury after.

You: I see. Good.

The door swings open and you see Nat rushing in.

Nat: You scared me! You have no idea how scared I was when you got shot.

You: I am glad the wall was thicker than the last time I tried with you.

Nat shakes her head.

Nat: How are you feeling?

You: Not too bad.

Nat: I'm sure you can head back soon. Everyone misses you.

You: Really? I doubt so.

---

The next day, the doctor comes in and checks on you.

Doctor: How are you feeling?

You: Generally or right now?

Doctor: Right now.

You: Like a bus ran over me.

Doctor: I'll give you some morphine to help you with that but you may feel a little loopy.

The doctor hooks up some morphine together with your IV drip and you fall back to sleep.

When you wake up, you see Nat in your ward.

You: If I was not in this condition, I would tooootally go for you.

Nat turns and stares at you in surprise.

Nat: Since when did someone become such a charmer?

You: I don't know...?

Nat looks at you confusingly and realises that you were taking morphine.

Nat: Why didn't you tell me you were still in pain?

You: Huh? I don't know what you are talking about?

Nat: Alright.. Then let's talk about the bullet wounds.

You: ...

Nat: Hey! *sigh* Gone to sleep again.

Wanda walks in.

Nat: Oh hey. You just missed her, she just fell back asleep.

Wanda: Oh really, too bad then.

Nat: She is taking morphine for her pain so I thought I would ask her about her bullet wounds but she dozed off before I could get a reply.

Wanda: Morphine really?

Nat: She tried to flirt with me when she woke up.

Wanda: Must be quite a shock.

Nat: I quite like it.

---

*the next few days*
Nat: Ready to leave?

You: You bet, the bed is so uncomfortable. 

Nat: Really? You seem to sleep pretty well.

You: You know it was not me.

Nat: Let's just get you back.

*at the compound*

Steve: Hey, glad to see you back.

Clint: Yeah, Tony was worried.

Tony: No, I wasn't.

Wanda: Can I speak to you for a second?

You: Ok.

Both of you step into Wanda's room.

Wanda: Why did you lie to me and say you didn't get shot before?

You: It's not a big deal. I'm alive, still.

Wanda: Why did you lie to me?

You: I.. I-

Wanda: You lied to me.

You: That's because I am embarrassed! How do you think it feels like getting shot because you are wanted for stealing and being a nuisance because you are homeless? You think it's fun? Something nice to share about? I don't think so.

Wanda: Y/N, I..-

You: You happy now?

You storm out of her room and out of the compound.

Steve: Where is she going?

Nat: I have no idea.

You walk aimlessly outside and you feel your chest getting wet, you are bleeding through your bandage from walking too fast. No wonder so many people were looking at you with weird eyes.

You: Great, there's nothing I can do about this when I have no money with me. Why does the world like to go against me?

You use your powers to stop the bleeding and walk back to the compound.

Nat: Where have you been? What happened to you?

You: I just went for a walk and ended up like this.

Nat: Let's change the bandage.
