adult : Nat
Y/n's pov
Tonight looks like it's going to be like the nights I couldn't handle my anxiety ..im aware im only 12 but I can't keep going or stay here .
I'm an orphan girl , but I never felt like home here .
I opened my window and took some clothes in my back bag , and decided to jump out . It was easy just a few scratches , I need to leave . Now .
Time skip 3am *
I was walking in the middle of the streets in New York , I was tired and started to get anxious again , why have I done that ? Where was the orphanage, was I lost ? In the middle of nowhere ? Am I going to stay in the dark all night ? Is there somebody behind me ? . I turn around and actually a group of two guys were walking slowly behind me , laughing and pointing their fingers toward my ass , until I hear them speak .
- ?? : hey baby come here we won't hurt you ( chuckle )
They started to walk faster and by now I couldn't control nor my breathing or my movements , I ran away and like I expected it they started to chase me . I couldn't breath anymore and I knew they were close until I trip down and fall face straight against the stone ground
Natasha's pov :
I was out , with all the nightmares I was having since my last mission I needed a moment outside but as I was walking ,a bit further in front of me I could hear a kid screaming for help , as I get closer quickly I notice two guys pinning the kid down the ground . One was trying to undress her and the other was making sure she didn't move , I ran straight to them and acted up immediately
- Nat : HEY !
- ??: ohhh we have someone else who can join baby ? How about this women helps?-
- Y/n : No please please help me please
One of them slaps the kid's face and I immediately punch him to the ground . The other tried to touch me but I just broke his fingers in the way and kicked his stomach .I turned immediately to the kid and tried to calm her down , but her breathing was really fast and she looked like having a panic attack which I usually have when I'm alone
- Nat : hey I'm not going to hurt
- Y/n : liar ! You - you were going to !
- Nat : no i will never do that ! Look at me ! I'm not a bad guy sweetheart
- Y/n : i - i cant breath it-it's not working
- Nat : let me come closer - here ..
- Y/n : p-please just don't h-hurt me it's to much I can't - take it anymore
I immediately rush over her and kneel in front of her gently placing my hands on her knees rubbing them to cool her down
- Nat : sweetheart can you name five things that you can hear right now ?
- Y/n : w-what ?
- Nat : just try trust me
She close her eyes and tries to focus
- Y/n : uh the cars and t-the .. movements around , y-your voice .. my my own and n-nothing else
- Nat : it's okay you're doing really good now name four things that you can smell
- Y/n : ( breath heavily)
- Nat : Hey hey hey it's okay let's go slowly okay sweet thing ?
- Y/n : ok okay so I - I smell uh .. y-your parfum and the trashes and the alcool from the bar in front of u-us
I chuckle softly and start to rub her cheek with my right hand.
- Nat : now name three things that you can touch
Y/n's pov :
I bring my hand on her arm and gently rub it while slowly breathing out . I've never been touched like that , I usually don't let anybody get near me . But with her ? I felt safe and shes helping me get..
- Y/n : your arm , my clothes and uh .. and
I slowly bring my hand on her hair and take one strand In between my hands Which makes her chuckle and smile softly
- Nat : that's a good one
- Y/n : thank you .. I - I'm better
- Nat : you're sure you're ok other than the panic attack breathing ? Did they -
- Y/n : no .. just - they tried touching me then you came ..
- Nat : it's ok * whispers * can you give me your parents number ? And maybe tell me why are you here alone In the middle of the night ?
- Y/n : i ... well I don't have anyone , im living in an orphanage but I lost my way , I was having a lot of hard times there lately .. I couldn't stay there no more so I just ran away ..
Natasha's pov
I sigh lightly and the kid starts to move and get up quickly .
- Nat : hey wait
- Y/n : i don't want to bother you anymore but I have to go away I don't want to go back there and I know you will take me there !
- Nat : hey - alright I'm not going to force you to do anything you don't want to do , and I was going to ask you if you want to stay with me tonight and see tomorrow?
- Y/n : but ..
- nat : look now I can't leave you here and know that you're alone in the streets!
- Y/n : ok... ok I'll come but they usually say in the orphanage that we can't talk with strangers
- Nat : yeah .. I'm Natasha but you can call me Nat , what about you?
- Y/n : I'm .. im Y/n and but you can call me y/n/n ( your nickname if you have one )
- Nat : cute , come on let me help you .
We get in the car and I didn't know why but I had this strong feeling of protecting this kid no matter what , maybe because it was new and I never had a choice about having kids but now ? This one was sitting next to me , scared but also curious and asking me so many questions to get to know me which I liked to answer !
