Being Nat's best friend since forever makes it hard not to like everyone at the compound until you see the man you saw in your house as a child who killed your parents. You've lived your life trying to find this man but he just shows up out of nowhe...
I've had good experiences and bad experienced. But I guess the bad seemed to outweigh the good. You know the whole parents get killed by an assassin, then you get turned into one, kind of thing. When I was younger I always thought that life was something to cherish. Like the stories my mom told me about her life growing up. She never got to see her mother. Her father just left her on the street as a young teenager and found a way to live on her own. So she cherished what she had in front of her at the moment. But at the moment for me, the only three things I cherished were, my best friend, a roof over my head, and a way to protect myself (even though learning how wasn't something to be grateful for). I live with my best friend and what she calls her 'family'. Let me just say, they aren't mine. But they let me live here because I help.
I was laying on my bed reading "For Whom the Bell Tolls" when Natasha came bursting in my room.
"Girl, get up! We are going out." She said in a raised tone. I looked at her and narrowed my eyes.
"I'm reading the book Steve gave me. It's gonna keep me busy and that's how I plan on spending my night so, no Nat. I'm not going."
"Y/N come on. You never go out." She sounded like a whiny teenager.
"I got to know Steve, like you wanted, Steve got to know me and he gave me the book. Or do you want me to go out. Pick one." I said and returned my eyes to the book. She told me to get to know some of the people around the compound. I know Wanda because she is best friends with Nat, so me and her are actually friends now, too. She pushed me to get to know Tony next but I said no. So she used the words 'baby steps' and told me to talk to Steve. I did and he gave me a book he read before he joined the military back in the 1940s.
"I pick both." She said as she grabbed the book from my hands. I tried to take it back. "Nope."
"It was getting really good, Nat." I frowned at her.
"I'll give it back to you at the end of the night." She looked at me and gave me puppy eyes. "PLEASE!"
"Fine." I gave in. "But don't expect me to stay the whole night." She nodded and walked to the door with the book in her hand.
"Wear something sexy." She said. But before I could protest she was gone. I flopped on the bed and groaned.
"This is gonna be a fun night." I said to myself sarcastically.
~Nat's POV~
I ran into the living room with the book she was reading in my hand. Everyone looked at me with anticipation.
"She's coming." I announced to everyone and they all got up to get ready. I quickly got up to my room and started getting ready. I had already done my makeup and was about to change into my dress when Y/N came in.
"You know you can be real evil sometimes. Also, I have nothing to wear." She said as I took off my shirt.
"It's not evil. I'm giving you a push into the real world. Let me see what I have" I pushed off my shorts.

{This is the dress Nat wore}
I looked through my closet and found a light blue one.
"Put this on." I told her and tossed it to her.

She pulled off the hoodie I bought her for her birthday and the legging and threw it on.
"Ooh, Y/N you look hot." I said waving my face like it was hot in here.
"Shut up."
"Let me do your make-up." I offered. She started walking out.
"Absolutely not." She was gone. Then I heard a knock on my door.
"Come in." It was Tony. "What's up Tony?"
"Um."
"Tony?"
"So... Y/N. She's a big asset to the team, she really is. But she doesn't seem, what is the word... motivated to get to know any of us. Well except Wanda."
"She got to know Steve. He even gave her a book." I motioned to the book on my desk.
"Why is it in here?"
"I had to take it from her to get her to go tonight." He nodded.
"Steve invited someone, by the way."
"Who?" I asked.
"James Barnes." I went a little wide-eyed. "Don't stress about it. He's a good person now. Well that's what Steve says." He laughed a little and walked out.
