The wrong number that saved me

Christmas between spiders

PART 1

Natasha's Pov

Today was Christmas Eve. Like usually, Clint was leaving to see his family and then come back the Christmas evening to the Tower. I will miss him, but this year, me and Peter have plans. Or how he names it:Mission America fall. Of course i didn't told him i like Captain America. I told him my crush is very patriotic. And he is. The part with <<fall>>is because he will fall in love.If the plan works.
"Nat, don't you give your best friend a hug?" Clint said before leaving.
"Of course, but promise me we will come back fast to your other family."
"You know i always will."
I hug him and immediately hear my phone ring. Peter. Mission starts now.
"Glad you still spend time with humans, Tasha. I hope in the future i will not need to text you to talk to you."
I rolled my eyes. He wouldn't understand and to be honest, I wouldn't know to explain it. A 15 years old kid helps me to be together with Steve. Now that i say it... it sounds weird. How did i get in this situation? Oh, right, the kid is too adorable .
I see Clint leaving. As soon as the elevator doors are closing, i go back to my room, bumping into Pepper, Christmas decorations falling on the floor.
"Sorry."
"Where is the fire, Nat? Would you like to help me decorate the Tower? It's almost Christmas..."
"Sorry . I have a mission."
"B-but it's Christmas Eve?"
"I know." I ran to my room.
I took out the Christmas decorations i hid in my wardrobe .Liho started to play with a silver tinsel. She was cute. I start to decorate. It was weird. I have never did something like this . Clint  and his family was the ones with... Christmas and glitter.
After 4 hours I finish . I open the door and stick the red mistletoe on the door frame. Plan done. It was simple. I attract Steve to my room, and he would be under the mistletoe.... anddd because the rules of the mistletoe.... we should kiss. Peter was a genius for coming up with this plan. My genius son!
"Operation America fall is running, Mr. X" I talk on phone. Peter wanted to use codenames like real spies If he knew...
"Good job, russian spy. I hope the mission is a success and wish too all the good luck." Peter said with a deep voice and tried an accent.
I laughed after he hung up. This kid was special.

Tony's Pov

I  was going to ask Natasha if she wants to come down to help us with this Christmas decorations and fucking tangling tinsel. Somehow, i managed to get it stuck on my feet. I hate it. I wanted to make a robot who could decorate the Tower, but Pepper wants to decorate with her best friend and family ,but she said that Natasha told her that she has a mission. God! This woman works even on Christmas! I was almost at her room when i see her door opening. I freeze and hope she doesn't notice me. She was talking with someone named Mr. X. Who was the guy? The texter that Clint talked about? Wait - Mission America fall. That doesn't sound good. She wouldn't.... Rushmannnn! I go downstairs to the team.
"Team, i heard Natasha talking with a guy, MrX aka. the texter about a mission, America fall."
"That doesn't sound good." Steve said, full patriotic mode.
"You don't think..." Bruce started.
"That she wants to destroy America and betray us? Yes. yes i do."
"Guys, it's Nat we are talking about." Pepper said.
"Or she could be Natalie Rushman!" Is Natasha even her real name?Is she a real redhead my? Is she even human?
"And she acted strange."
"I can believe i say this, but this is suspicious." Steve said.
"Even Capsicle agrees with me."
"Ok, what do we do? Clint is away..." Bruce said.
"We contact Fury." Steve said and went to our meeting room.
Me, Pepper and Bruce just stood there. I could see that Pepper was sad. She liked Natasha. Maybe because she was the only girl around here.
Natasha came downstairs.
"Wow, who killed the Christmas sprit here? Anyway, did you see Steve. I have to show him something."
"Sorry, Romanoff. Fury gave us a mission. He needs us at the Headquarters." Steve appeared in the doorway. Mission? At Christmas? Oooooo, that's all a trick to bring Nat to SHIELD for questioning.
We  go to the Quinjet, except for Pepper who stayed to decorate. When we got there, 20 agents with guns wait for us, Maria Hill and  Nick Fury, the emo pirate, in front of them.

Maria's Pov

I saw the Avengers coming. I hate this part of my job. We were prepared for Natasha's reaction. 20 agents visible and 50  agents hide. I hope that would be enough. I can't belive that Natasha betrayed us. A part of me still couldn't. She was my friend and Fury's daughter, even if he didn't said it was true. If he doesn't want us to think she is his daughter, he should stop acting like a father. I saw it was hard for him too. This is why he put me to do it.
Natasha looked annoyed. Like the other agents because it was Christmas Eve.
"Agent Romanoff, put your hands in front of me."
She looked confused, but obeyed.
"So what's the mission -" she started, but stops when i put the cuffs on her hands.
She looks at me, then at her teammates. She saw she was the only one handcuffed and the realization that all of this was for her hit in. I knew Natasha was never showing her emotions, but this time i saw in her eyes, hurt, anger and sadness. The mix for betrayal. Then, like someone pressed a botton, her face shows no emotion at all. She scares me when she does that. The change is so fast.No one at SHIELD mastered to do that.
"Natasha Romanoff, you are under arrest for  plotting agains America. You have the right to remain silent. Come inside for questioning."
"Gladly." She says, her voice cold and emotionless. She scares me. I never heard her like that. Maybe Clint did. But me, not. Was that the Red Room Black Widow? Was she back? Did the betrayal send Natasha back on that way.
"Be careful, agent. You are shivering."
Natasha whispered in my ear with a deep russian accent, the word<<agent >> sounding  like it was the dirtiest word in the world.
It made more chills to run down my spine.
