The russian one

Chapter 17 : explanations

Nat's POV

It's been two days since Clint and I got home. I haven't seen Tony since the night we arrived, he hides in his lab all day and even at night. Steve has been avoiding us as well, he often goes running outside by himself. Clint and I have tried to talk to both of them but it is impossible. They either ignore us or the question asked by talking about something else, or they leave before we have had a chance to say anything, or they avoid the subject by answering briefly. Our last solution is to ask either Y/n or Bruce. But Y/n hasn't come out of her room since we got there so I guess it has something to do with what happened that night. In short, we can forget about her, she probably won't talk to us. That leaves us with Bruce.

"Ah Bruce! Just the man I was looking for," I said as I saw him enter. Clint looked at me curiously to see what I had in mind. Bruce was surprised by my words, but came over to me with a smile. He sat down next to me on the couch. And I rested my legs on his thighs, which made Clint even more confused and Bruce more than happy.

"We've been away for almost three months with Clint, I'm sure we've missed a lot. Right?" He laughed sarcastically.

"A lot of things is an understatement Nat." he said with a smile on his face and placing his hands on my legs. I looked at Clint and saw that he understood what I was trying to do. Bruce doesn't usually talk much and he's not the type to tell things. I figured distracting him would help.

"How much?" I asked then as I moved a little closer to him which made me sit on his legs and put my hand on his chest. He put his hands on my hips. I hate this. I'd rather have Y/n's... NAT! Focus!

"I don't know why Tony and Steve got into a fight with Y/n the other night, I left as soon as I heard Y/n yelling at them." I frowned at that.

"Y/n?" asked Clint uncertainty. "Yelling at them?" he added. Glad to know he's as confused as I am. Y/n may be offended or angry at times, but she's never raised her voice so much, she's always been pretty quiet when it comes to showing strong emotions.

"Yes she. I'm telling you, this girl is crazy. Fury should have put her back in a cell when we found out she was hiding her skills from us," Bruce said. Her what?! I got up from Bruce. He looked at me confused.

"What are you talking about?" I asked then. Do they know about her eyes? Does she have any other powers?

"We found out while you were gone that she has the same characteristics as a super soldier. She is much faster than Steve and almost as strong as him. This girl is even more dangerous than we thought," Bruce explained. Clint and I exchanged a look. He silently asked if I knew about this and I silently told him we needed to investigate this more.

"Oh and apparently she can beat Steve and Thor with her eyes closed! Literally with her eyes closed!!! I knew we should have left her in her cell. She's way too dangerous and can't be trusted. I don't think Fury trusts her, he's watching her even more, all the agents are looking at her even more sideways and Maria is now supervising her training with Steve." resumed Bruce

"I have to go see Steve.." I said before rushing out of the room in search of Steve.

"Nat, wait!" shouted Clint grabbing my arm forcing me to stop and turn around to face him.

"Did you know about her...powers?" he asked me.

"I..."

"Oh my god you were! Why didn't you say anything?"

"She didn't seem to know about it, so I wanted to investigate with her first to learn more. I wanted to see what she could do first before I said anything." I explained.
