Professor Romanoff

Chapter 41

I catch up on the work that I missed over the month and a half that I was gone. After a couple of hours, there's a knock on our door.
"Come in." Nat says, her head still remaining on my shoulder. Her arm is wrapped around me as she watches what I do. The door opens and a sad looking Tony walks in slightly.
"What's up?" She asks, noticing his change in mannerism. I now look up.
"Dr Cho wants to see you Y/N." He says. I notice Nat change a little. She tightens her grip on me.
"Why?" She asks with a concerned tone.
"I think you should just go and talk to her." He says before leaving. I close my laptop.
"What do you think it is?" I ask.
"I don't know. Hopefully nothing bad." Nat says. We stand up and she pulls me into a hug. She kisses my forehead then takes my hand in hers.

We get to Dr Cho's office.
"What's happened with her?" Nat asks.
"Take a seat." Dr Cho says. I sit down, Nat sits next to me, our hands still entwined. "The blood test came back and Y/N-" Dr Cho starts to explain before Nat interrupts.
"Y/N what? Is she gonna die?" Nat asks.
"If you would let me finish, I'll tell you what showed up." Dr Cho deadpans.
"Sorry." Nat says as she rubs her thumb over my hand.
"An unknown pathogen has shown up in Y/N's blood." Dr Cho explains.
"Is that bad?" I ask.
"No, rather good actually. You're able to fight off more diseases and viruses than the average human. You also have iron deficiency. You'll need to take pills to get your levels up. If you miss any day you'll likely pass out." She explains. Nat sighs with relief. "I'll get them up to you by the end of the day." Dr Cho says.
"Thank you." I say.
"Thanks." Nat says. We get up and say goodbye, then leave.

Nat holds me close as we walk back to your room.
"It wasn't that bad." I say.
"You could pass out. That's not good." Nat says.
"Yeah, but like I can fight of viruses." I say.
"I suppose that is good." Nat says. "You done with your work?" She asks.
"Nowhere near." I explain. "But I think I've done enough for today." I say.
"Do you wanna watch TV?" She asks as we enter our room.
"... We could do something else." I suggest as I pull her down on the bed, pulling her into a kiss.
"Are you sure?" She asks.
"Yeah." I say.
"100%?" She asks.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I?" I ask. As I pull away from her slightly, confused by her hesitation.
"Just everything that's happened over the last month and a bit." Nat says.
"I'm fine Tasha." I say. As we both sit up.
"You woke up in the night, crying, because of a nightmare." She says.
"I said I'm fine Nat." I say. "It sounds like you just don't want to." I say.
"I do, I just don't want to push you." She says.
"You're not going to." I say.
"I think you should see someone." She says after a moment of silence.
"What?" I ask as I get up off the bed.
"You should see a therapist or someone." She says.
"I can't believe you." I say before I leave the room.
"Y/N, come back." I hear her call out, but I don't.

I go to Wanda and Carol's room, tears welling up in my eyes. Does she think that I need help? Ugh.
"What happened?" Wanda asks as she notices my face. Carol's head snaps up from her laptop.
"Me and Nat had a fight." I say.
"Come here." Wanda says as she holds out her arms. I walk over to her and slide into her arms.
"You wanna talk about it?" Carol asks as she comes over to Wanda's bed and sits on the other side of me.
"Not really." I say. "Can we just watch TV or something?" I ask.
"Of course. The walking dead?" Carol asks. I nod in response.

Natasha POV:
I go to find Y/N. I think I came across a little aggressive. I think she's probably in Carol and Wanda's room. I knock on the door and hear a 'come in'. I enter to see Y/N asleep on a bed with Wanda and Carol next to her.
"What happened between you two?" Wanda asks quietly.
"I said she needed to see a therapist or something." I say, matching Wanda's volume.
"Why?" Carol asks.
"Because she woke up in the night in tears." I explain.
"She never told us about that.." Wanda says.
"She didn't want to talk about it." I say. "When she wakes up, come find me please. I want to apologize to her." I say.
"We will." Carol says.

Carol POV:
"Do you think Nat's right? That Y/N should go and see someone." I ask Wanda.
"If she's waking up in the middle of the night in tears, then yeah." Wanda replies.
"Stuff must have been bad at that hydra place." I say.
"If it was anything like when I was there, yeah. It must have been bad." She explains.
"What are you guys talking about?" Y/N asks as she sits up slightly.
"Nothing, don't worry. Nat wants you to go and talk to her." I reply.
"Thanks. And thank you both for being here. I'm sorry." She says.
"Don't be." Me and Wanda say in unison.

Y/N POV:
I go to find Nat. I go downstairs after seeing that she isn't in our room. I see her in the kitchen talking to Clint and Steve. She's sitting down on the stools at the island with a beer. I hug her from behind, shocking her slightly.
"Мне очень жаль. (Mne ochen' zhal' - I'm so sorry)" I say.
"все хорошо, мне тоже жаль. (vse khorosho, mne tozhe zahl' - It's okay, I'm sorry too)" She says as she turns around, hugging me back.
"Anyway, Steve, I need you to help me with that thing in the lab." Clint says. Him and Steve leave. I sit down next to Nat.
"You're right." I admit.
"You're going to talk to someone?" Nat asks.
"I think so... I don't know how though." I say.
"I'll help you котенок." She says as she places a hand on my thigh, rubbing it slightly.
"Thank you. I love you." I say.
"I love you more детка." She says as she presses a gentle kiss into my forehead.
"Not possible." I say. Nat smiles and her eyes analyse my face.

A/N: I had an English test today and I don't think it went that bad which is awesome :)

Hope you enjoyed this chapter :) <3
