And the death knocks

Making friends

Just as Yelena and I arrived in my given room she closed the door behind me. „Wow, this is massive, so much space!" I need to add that I never really had my own room when I was younger, I had to a room with my other two siblings for almost seven years. „It truly is impressive, Stark never fails to make you feel like home" she said smiling. I walked straight to to the window from where I was able to overlook the whole entire city. „This is all mine?" I asked her. She slowly took a few steps to the closet and watched me moving back and forth. „It is" she said. Yelena sounds kind of excited for me, I didn't know why but it made me feel good and special in some way. „I need to get my clothes from my other apartment" I said snapping back into reality. My dumbass totally forgot to mention that. She sat down on the desk located in a corner. „I can come with you if you want to, I mean that part of the city is almost destroyed". „Yelena Belova offers to escort me, my pleasure". Just a few seconds later we were interrupted by Wanda Maximoff and Natasha Romanoff. Both of them curios what my room looked like. They stormed in and all I could do was locking eyes with the beautiful brunette. „Hello, my name is Wanda, I am your neighbour next door to your left" she said smiling. „Nice to meet you, I'm y/n" I said smiling back. A couple seconds later I heard a robotic voice through my room which was asking for Yelena and Natasha in the living area. „Well, seems like you're stuck with me for a while" I said while turning around to take another look out of the window. „How are your hands doing?" She asked concerned. I totally ignored the questions from her and took deep breath. The city light slowly brighten up the city night sky. Every color you could ever imagine, so bright and wonderful. „Oh sorry, what was your question?". She located herself next to me on the window ledge. Her back straight. Her legs crossed and her hands on each side of her hips. I was too shy to risk a look but I gave in and we locked eyes once again. „How are you hands?" She asked with peace and elegance. I looked down at my hands squeezing them slightly. „I don't really feel anything, they're just numb and I think they'll be for a couple more days." She took my hands in hers and took off the bandage, it was just so gross to me to see them. I watched every movement of hers, how she inspected my hands. „Those are pretty messed up, hm" she asked and sounded kind of sad. „Do you know where I can get something to eat around here" I asked because I really was starving at that moment. „How about we order pizza or we cook something and have dinner with the rest of the team" she requested. „That sounds nice" I replied with happiness in my voice.

We both went down into the main kitchen. This place is so giant is has six kitchens, probably a hundred bathrooms and Thor told me that they got five different gyms in here. I was so overwhelmed that my social anxiety started to kick in. I mean I am almost a lawyer and still panic around a certain amount of people. I just stood there in the middle of the doorframe and watched everyone moving, talking and laughing. I saw Tony Stark arguing with Steve Rogers about something. Thor and Clint Barton were asking Bruce out about his new project he apparently works on. As my look wandered around the room my eyes caught Yelena and Natasha standing around the kitchen isle talking and laughing. I caught Natasha's eyes and I don't know what happened but the next moment everybody's attention went towards me and my weird way of standing in the doorframe like a complete weirdo. I felt my breath shaking and my eyes panic around the room, catching just more attention.

My hearing faded and my heart wouldn't stop beating. Everything went in slow-motion. My thoughts overran me. Suddenly I felt a touch on my left shoulder, it was Yelena who just made her way towards me without me recognising. I jumped at her touch and stepped a step back. I heard a voice asking if everything's fine and that someone should bring me a glass of water. I couldn't really fit the voices yet, so I didn't know who was saying what. I was so confused that I backed up and fell over something not realising and still trying to catch my breath. I tried so hard. After tripping and falling on my back Yelena just picked me up bridal style and brought me to her room on 42nd floor. I was still unable to breath right and my heart was still beating like shit.

„Hey, Y/n. Are you with me?" I heard her saying but I couldn't answer her. She placed me on her bed and got some water while I tried to focus on something in her room. Just about time my eyes caught the sight of a shelf with different candles. Some of them were already empty but others weren't. I stood up and went straight to that shelf without listen to her. I saw some cherry ones, vanilla ones and cinnamon. I'd never thought Yelena was a candle-type. I excepted weapons or a collection of empty vodka bottles on her shelfs. But a dozen different candle types. I didn't see that coming to be honest. I reached a point where my breath went steady again and I could feel my heart slowly coming down from its high. Once again I felt something on my shoulders. Two hands which guided me to Yelena's bed. „You need to rest after that panic attack, y/n" I grabbed the glass of water which was placed on her nightstand. „I'm fine I swear. This happens likes all the time I see too many people" I said half smiling. She was going down on her knees in front of me and I locked eyes with her. Just now I realised how pretty she. „You can rest here if you want to" she offered me. Since I was too exhausted to go back to my room I accepted the offer. I fell back into her cozy, fluffy bed and I didn't even manage to get my left foot with me into the bed. All I heard was a door opening and two female voices asking if I was okay. Just about then I fell asleep.

When I woke up again I wondered what happened and why I wasn't in my bed after all. I looked around the room and remembered my panic attack from a few hours before. Just as I looked to my left I saw Yelena coming out of her bathroom with nothing on except a towel. I couldn't resist and had to watch every movement of hers. She let the towel fall to the gourd and I quickly shut my eyes because I didn't want to be rude. She came near the bed and shook my shoulder to wake me up, I just played along. „Hey, you've been asleep for almost four hours, you feeling better?" I slightly moved myself up and nodded. „What about we go down and have something to eat" again I nodded in agreement. „Are there still all of those people around?" I asked with a worried look on my face. „No, it's just you and me this time. I promise" she said. The walk into the kitchen was exhausting for me. We took the elevator down to 35th floor. Another kitchen this time. As soon as I stepped out of the elevator I heard different voices coming from the kitchen. This time I recognised them. I heard Wanda and Natasha laughing and I let out a deep breath clearly loud enough for Yelena to rub my left shoulder for comfort. „Hey y/n, you good? We were worried" I heard Natasha say. „I'm fine. I had the nap of my life in that cozy bed of Yelena" I answered smiling. „I'm glad you're okay" Wanda added. „Next time you should sleep in my bed. It's way more comfortable than Yelena's" I heard Natasha say. I smirked and made my way through to kitchen, just sitting down on one of the barstools. Yelena went over to the oven to get some leftovers from there. „Pizza or Lasagne?" She asked me. „Definitely Pizza!" I almost screamed out. Everybody started laughing and I felt my cheeks turn a light red shade.After the four of us had dinner I decided to head back to my room and get ready for the night. Once again I didn't go alone as I heard familiar steps following me. I turned around just to see the red head. „What is going on, Romanoff" I asked concerned. „Uh, nothing. All good" she replied smiling. Seriously I like all of them already but I would like to have a few hours for myself. I reached for the button which hopefully lead to my floor where my room is supposed to be. I still get really stressed out when I see these massive amount of buttons because there are so many floors. „41st floor, here we go" I said with slight panic in my voice. Out of nothing Natasha pressed the stop button and the elevator stopped. „Y/n, what about training tomorrow at 7am" she asked with slight excitement in her voice. „Yeah, sure but you could've just asked while the elevator was still running" I said laughing. You can see that Romanoff's cheeks turned red and she looked down to her shoes. „Hey, I wasn't laughing because of your question, everything's fine" I said rubbing her right shoulder. She looked up and our eyes met. I could feel a strange feeling in my stomach while scanning her face and making sure I get every detail of her face. Suddenly the elevator reached the 41st floor. „See you tomorrow Natasha, 7am" I say waving at her while she smiled back at me. I finally reached my door and as soon as I walked in I locked the door.
