Natasha's Pov

I am alone at the Tower. It's so quiet. No one is screaming, running or exploding. So beautiful.At 8, I go to my desk and call Peter. It was weird to hear his voice the first time that night, because it was the first time i called him. From texting to talking, it was a big step.
"So Nat. Do you want to start with the chemestry, math or physics?"
"So now you call me Nat?What happened with mom?Also I'm sorry for yesterday night."
"No need for excuses. I wasn't sleeping anyway and I'm glad to help. And i call you Nat in case my aunt comes home because it will be a little weird to explain our whole story."
"Good point. And i will call you Peter in case my friends will hear me and i really don't want to explain.That's the first rule of the voice call. "
"And maybe the only."
"We will make them in time.If necessary. "
"So you are living with your friends? That's so cool!"
"Sometimes. Sometimes they are annoying. Ok, let's go to work. I choose... physics."
"Today's homework is.... dramatic music.... electricity!"
How could i not laugh. I can't believe the kid has only 3 friends.His sense of humor is so good. We finish the homework fast and we move to chemestry.
"And like that one ion and-" Peter was interrupted by a loud explosion and then everything went dark except for my phone.
"Peter are you alright?"
"Yeah. I think it is a power cut in the whole city."
I see a powerful light outside. Ithink i see a man made of electricity. I miss the good, old days when me and Clint fought bad agents, before aliens and wathever that thing is.
"Nat, do you see a lighting man outside the window or i did to much homework?"
"No, i see that too. STAY HOME AND DON'T GO OUTSIDE! I know you have a talent to be  hurt at night."
"Yes, mom!"
I end the call and i suit up. My phone ring. Steve. I hope he and the Avengers are there and fighting that thing.
"Natasha are you ok?"
"Yes. Are you and the Avengers fighting that thing."
"We have a problem."
"We are locked inside the museum!" Clint shouted.
"What?! Earth mightiest heroes are stopped by a door?!"
"Vibranium door. Me and Black Panter had an idea..." Tony said.
"So i have to fight that alone?"
"SHIELD will help you. But can you get out of the Tower. The power cut took Jarvis out." Tony said.
I try the door. Locked. I look at the window. I hope my Widow's Line can stick on a building or something or i will be a nice puddle.
"I can get out. Let me do all the hard work, boys!" I end the call.
1...2...3...
I shot the window and i jumped. The Avenger Tower was so tall. The fall seamed to make everything move in slow motion. I never did something like this. I always used the Widow's Line to strangle the enemy or catch him by hand or foot. I never used it to swing like an actual spider. I shot my Line to a building and i was happy that i managed to swing. Spider-Man made it look easier. The electric man started to throw cars at the poor police. I shot a Widow's Bite at him, but he started to laugh. Then i realized my mistake. He is make of electricity. He throw a lighting at me  and i knew that was the moment i fucked up.

Peter's Pov

I swing to  a building near the electric man. How did i got from thieves to this! Something got his attention. I want to shot a web but i see a person being thrown flying in the air from the electric attack. I swing to catch the person. O my god! It's the Black Widow. I put her gently on the ground. Her eyes were closed. Panicccccc! Was she dead? Omg! He killed the Black Widow! Wait-where were the other Avengers? Did he killed them too? And i have to fight them? But I'm just the friendly neighborhood. But..... it doesn't matter that I'm scared, people need me. With great power comes great responsibility! I am ready to shot a web at him, when i hear a cough. I look behind me and i see the Black Widow trying to get up. Thank good she was not dead! Idiot, Parker, idiot! You should have checked her pulse and not panic!
"Widow are alright?"
"Good. Do you have any idea how to stop him?"
"Were are the other Avengers? I really could use the help."
"Busy. It's just you and me."
"Spider team."
"No"
"Come on!"
"No."
"Hey, light bulb! You are not very bright to attack an Avenger!" I shot a web at him.
"My name is ELECTRO!"
"Well, it sucks!" the Black Widow throws a rubber tire at him. Maybe my confusion is evident because she answers.
"I couldn't attack him with my electric   Widow's Bite so i had to use an insulator."
"Widow, you're a genius! Do you know how to make a prison from insulators?"
"Actually i think i have a better idea? What about a  short circuit? It would be faster. But where do we take so much water? I think he is 20 foot tall?"
"Central Park Lake!We are making a good team!Ready to be a bite? "
"Hey, Christmas tree! I'm over here!" The black widow said and swing.
"First time swinging?"
"That bad?"
"You need practice."
We both swing to the Central Park, Electro following.We hid in the trees. I shot a web between to trees and i hope electro will fall in the water. He stumbles, but doesn't fall.
"WHERE ARE YOU SPIDERS!"
Me and the Black Widow shot a web at his feet and ran around. Now he falls in the lake. Take that, light bulb! I must make an isolated suit.
I lend my fist for a fistbump and she came to me on wobbling legs. She fistbumped me.
"Widow, are you alright?"
"I have been worse."
"Do you want me to help you?" Her walk was too slow for her. Was she hurt?
"No,I'm fine. I can take care of myself."
"You are the Black Widow. I don't doubt that, but your not an invincible weapon. You are also human. You walk slowly and... hobbling. I would feel responsible all my life if something happened to you and i did nothing to save you."


Natasha's Pov

My stomach hurt from  Electro's attack and I'm sure i was bleeding, but  I'm glad my suit is black and hides blood well. I can't believe Spider-Man  saw i was hit. I am the Black Widow. I can show weakness. I try to tell him that I'm fine but he is stubborn to help. Why? Why the jokes? Why the colorful costumes? Why so happy? I try to tell him that i can take care of myself. Was nice to hear that he doesn't think that im a weapon but an actual human being.I don't want him to feel responsible if something happens to me. Fine, it will be his way.
"You can take me to the Smithsonian museum were are the Avengers."
"Hold tight!"
He says and takes me, swinging. He was faster than me at this thing. I started to feel dizzy.
"Widow?"
"I'm fine."
Finally we get there.
"Natasha?" Steve comes to my side.
"Well, Miss. Widow, your ride with Spider taxi ended." Spider-Man said and swing away.
"You and Spider-Man fought Ekectro?" Tony ask.
"Yes. And if  you keep to not do your job I'm joining him to the Spider-team."i joked.
Steve looked worried at me.
" Did you just joked? "Clint ask.
" No it's an warning, right? Red doesn't joke. "
I made my first joke ever. I stayed to much time with Spider-Man.
We go to the Tower, were Pepper greats us with cupcakes, fresh out of the oven. The Tower smelled so good. Tony wants to take one and Pepper hits his hand.
" This are not for you! "
" What?"
"You were locked in a museum  while Natasha fought a villian. Boys, you always let girl to do your job!"
"That's not true!" Tony said.
"Where were you at the morning meeting?"
"Pepper, did i ever tell you how much i love you? Did you bought new clothes? You look stunning!"
"This is what i thought!Try one, Nat! "
She gives me a plate with 3 cupcakes. I take a bite from one. They were really good.
"I think cooking is your superpower." I say.
Pepper hug me and i closed my eyes in pain. ᴵᵗ ʰᵘʳᵗˢ ʷᵒʳˢᵉ. ᴵ ᵖᵘᵗ ᵗʰᵉ ʰᵃˡᶠ ᵒᶠ ᵗʰᵉ ᶜᵘᵖᶜᵃᵏᵉ ᵒⁿ ᵗʰᵉ ᵖˡᵃᵗᵉ ʷᶦᵗʰ ˢʰᵃᵏᶦⁿᵍ ʰᵃⁿᵈˢ.
