Y/N's POV

I woke up connected to wires, this game of traveling in my sleep is becoming exhausting

I went from being snuggled up to my cat, to being in a plastic box, to a pretty woman's arm and now I guess I am in a fancy hospital. As I get a grip of my senses I feel a hand in mine. As I go to move my hand away her grip tightens and her head shoots up.

"Y/N?" Wanda questions

"Where am I? Why are you here? Why isn't Pietro? Where's the pretty woman who I think saved me?"

"Uh... You're at the Avengers tower. I'm here because I never in my life would leave you to die... Pietro, well, when we went rogue a lot happened, and he sacrificed himself to save someone else. The pretty woman, Natasha, is giving a mission debrief to her boss." she shakily replies

I grip onto her hand tighter. That was a lot of information, but I also asked for all of it.

"Is she single?" I get out trying to lighten the mood and ignore the pain I'm feeling on all levels.

"I think so..." she chuckles out sadly

"Y/N, I'm so sorry. We were stupid to trust you'd be safe. Your safety was promised, so we stupidly moved on like that was all that mattered. We stopped being your sibling, we treated you like a chore. Blinded by our grief, a grief you shared, we failed you and in the end left you worse off. I hope you can forgive us, well - me." she stutters out

"It's okay, well it's not, but it will be. You and your team saved me. I also know that even with the ghosting, you NEVER would've just let this happen to me. You guys reacted to the grief your way, I chose to be sad and mope. You guys got angry and tried to take action. There's no one way to grieve, I think my way was safer, but now I'm in this bed so I guess not." I end with a laugh

Wanda's POV
There she goes, always trying to make everyone else feel better. Even when she's the one who's been harmed. She's always been the rational one, which is partially why we sent her "away" to "safety."

"Y/n/n. Stop! You're allowed to be mad. You don't have to make me feel better. You're here because of me. Don't try to rationalize our behavior." I shout out

"No! I'm here because a group of manipulative shits took advantage of your guys grief. You didn't tie me to a chair and beat me. I also know you woudn't go rogue without a reason. I will NOT be mad at you because you want me to be. I love you, and I forgive you." she replies with force

"Well, I don't forgive me" I reply pulling my hand away, and running out in tears

"Well I do!" she shouts at me as I run out

Nat's POV

I just finished my debrief with Fury, and I see Wanda run out of the medbay in tears. That alarms me so I do the opposite and run straight there. As I walk in I'm met with the sight of Y/N sobbing. Seeing her crying this way hurts me, and I can't figure out why.

"Hey, what's wrong?" 

"What isn't?" she chuckles out while trying to wipe away her tears

"Right, bad question. How can I help?" 

"It's okay, you don't have to do anything.. I'm sure you're pretty busy, don't need to waste your time on me." she tries to reassure me

"Why would I leave such a pretty girl to cry alone when I could stay and offer her my shoulder?" I ask with a smirk

Her cheeks immediately go pink and she gives me the most beautiful smile in return

"T-thank you...? Um, I really don't want to keep you from anything important." she stutters out

"I'm right where I want to be. Your comfort is quite important. So come on, let me be here for you. In whatever way you need." I reply while giving her a quick look up and down, then I grab her hand and give it a slight squeeze.

Y/N's POV

I'm crazy right? No way she's actually flirting with me. Well, either way, she's making me feel so much better by just being here.

"Your presence is helping astronomically, Ms. Romanoff"

"Natasha!" she cringes 

"Tasha it is."

"I'll let it slide... for now" she chuckles out

After a few minutes of comfortable silence I realize she never let go of my hand. I squeeze her hand to grab her attention then we lock eyes.

"Thank you"

"For what?" she questions

"Saving me"

"It was nothing! It's my job" she replies with a slight smile

Oh, it's just an obligatory thing, either way I'm grateful. I roll over and gently take my hand back, and I can almost see her gaze sadden.

"Well thank you for this too, just sitting here with me. I really appreciate it, not really in the mood to be alone. Wanda just kinda took off." 

"Hey, no need to thank me. You shouldn't be alone after everything that's happened. I also enjoy your company. It's a calming aura that you give off. Can I ask you why Wanda ran off?" she gently asks

"Um. I forgave her, and she doesn't forgive herself. Even though they ghosted me, I know all they ever wanted was my safety. So even if I'm mad, I have to forgive her. Let her know I'm here, so she doesn't feel like she has nobody. Now that I heard about Pietro, I have to double down on that. We're triplets, but those two always had the telepathy. I was more like their baby sister even if they're only ten and five minutes older. She's broken and I HAVE to be the one to hold her when she falls." I assert

Nat's POV

She's so strong, but I can see how much she's hurting. I know what it's like to have to hold it all in, to be the one who has to hold everyone else up. I just want to be the one who holds her up.

"What about you?" I ask

"huh?" 

"Who holds you when you fall? Why can't you hold onto your anger?"

"Well, I guess nobody? My kitty baby does a good job at cuddling me when I cry." she sighs out

"Scoot over" I command

She just stares at me confused but she does it. I gently climb in next to her and open my arms to her. She doesn't hesitate to crawl into my embrace and within the minute she's quietly sobbing.

"Shh... I got you kotenek. Let it all out! I'm not going to leave. You're safe here" I whisper into her ear

I notice she's asleep and can't help but to feel so warm inside. She trusted me enough to fall asleep. Before drifting off myself I text Steve a sleepy message
