Stranger~ Natasha Romanoff

Part 8

There she was, Natasha Romanoff, the one and only. I know who she is because I've seen her several times on the news.

I feel myself being thrown, still feeling her grip around my stomach. I didn't even realize she had already pulled me out of the fire. I watch her every move, from the way she looks at anything that might be an obstacle, to the way her hair gently flies in the wind. The way she pulled me out of the fire so easily amazes me. I snap out of my trance again and look around, trying to figure out where I was. The fire is now quite far away. The street is quiet, only one or two people are walking, looking at the fire with wide eyes. I recognize this place, I am right next to my apartment, only a few minutes walk away.

Suddenly, I hear a soft, husky voice speaking to me, knowing absolutely who it is.

I look at her, noticing that she was already looking at me. For a moment I thought I was asleep and would wake up in a second. But no, this was all real. I see the redhead stares at me for a few more seconds before she opens her mouth slightly. I assume she wants to say something but she doesn't, she just keeps staring at me. She finally regains her composure.

"Are you okay?" she asks as she gently places her hand on my shoulder. Too captivated by her, I feel unable to say a word. I give her a quick nod, once again losing myself in the depths of her green eyes. After what seems like an eternity, she takes her eyes off mine. She turns away and starts to run, getting away from me step by step. Just before I am no longer able to see her, she looks at me one last time. I was already looking at her. I look at her features and she looks at mine. I smile and give her an awkward smile, as a sign to tell her that she should leave. She smiles back. Damn... She went back to her run, running until I can't see her anymore.

.

I'm lying in bed with my eyes closed, still in shock from what happened an hour ago. I replay the scene over and over in my head. The sound of the explosion, the fire, the screams, the way she saved me. When I think about it, I think I might have seen Hawkeye while I was still standing next to the exploding building. I can't believe this all happened. I don't know how I'm supposed to fall asleep after that, I usually fall asleep easily but right now I don't even think I can. I pick up my phone and see numerous texts from y/f/n.

Y/N PLEASE TELL ME YOUR OKAY?

IF YOU DON'T ANSWER ME RIGHT NOW I'LL PRETEND YOU'RE DEAD

Wait- How does she know? I didn't tell her yet?

Y/N YOUR ON THE NEWS

AT LEAST THAT MEANS YOUR ALIVE

ISTG Y/N DO NOT SCARE ME LIKE THAT EVER AGAIN

TEXT ME AS SOON AS YOU CAN?

I'm okay y/f/n

thanks for asking

Umh sure.

Why did they show show me on the screen though?

They said Natasha Romanoff "saved" you

They showed a short video of the two of you getting out of the flames

IT LOOKED LIKE YOU WERE IN AN ACTION MOVIE Y/N!

HOW COOLL

Yeah I guess it looked cool.

It wasn't that cool living it though

I really thought it was the end

Thank god she was here

Or I'd probably be dead by now.

Yeah I guess so

I'm gonna go sleep now

You'll explain me everything in detail next time we see each other.

You should go to sleep too

Yes mom...

Oh come on don't call me that.

...

Night Night

Good Night

I could try to text N one more time, she didn't give me an answer since yesterday night. I hope she's alright.

Hi, just want to make sure you're alright.

Text me when you see this please

I put my phone back on my bed but am instantly interrupted by a notification.

And it's from... N !

Hi, I was just about to text you

Yes I'm alright now, don't worry.

Why now?

What happened today?

No, nothing special.

An eventfull day that's all.

Right...

How was your day ?

Yeah about that...

What?

Guess who I met?!

How could I know?

GUESS

Just tell me...

I met an Avenger!

Why is she not answering? I wait a few more seconds before I see that she started writing.

Which one?

...

*your name's first letter* just tell me now.

Wow wow okay-
Natasha Romanoff!

Once again, I go to wait a few minutes for her to answer.

I got to go.

What the fuck?
