A Forbidden Pleasure

Chapter 12- Chills

Nat's Pov

Ever since Y/N found out about her powers, I've been afraid that she would get too angry and hurt someone. I know she can control herself pretty well, she's been training, but Tony still decided to wait to reinstate her at school, especially after what was about to happen with Walker.

I watch her train, and she gets better and better and stronger. Jarvis has discovered that her powers are genetically the same as Wanda's, so she herself is the only one who can teach her. There are differences though, Y/N is stronger and can hear perfectly even from far away. It's as if her powers evolved before they "woke up".

Last week we went, just Steve and I, on a ship to retrieve S.H.I.E.L.D.S agents who had been captured.
A bomb went off and I injured my shoulder from shrapnel. I have to stay bandaged for a few more days until it heals as I have no powers.

Between me and Y/N everything has been very quiet it's been a long time since we've been out, her dad has been constantly watching her so we haven't had a minute alone. We still haven't talked about what I said to her that day.
Those "I love you's" I wasn't sure if it was the right time either, but I've been wanting to tell her for weeks.

What she makes me feel is indescribable, it's not that I haven't felt it before. But after the red room and everything that happened it's not easy for me to open up; with her though I don't know how it's different, it's simple. Right from the start she showed me that I could trust her and never once made me doubt.

She is young, younger than me, but still able to make me feel what people my age wouldn't even be able to understand. She has learned how to move around in my head, she knows when she can push and when to let it go.
She knows what I like and what makes me feel special, she always makes surprises out of nothing small or big.
I love how she talks to me and how she stands up for me even though she knows I can do it myself. I love how she gets pissed off when someone talks down to me or if someone disrespects me. I love the face she makes when she gets jealous and can't do anything. I love everything about her.

And now that I'm watching her finish her workout, I'm caught by her gaze as she walks towards me.
I don't notice it as much as she does, but as she loses herself in me, I lose myself in her.
I can hide it of course, she doesn't know, no one would catch me, but her eyes take me in, that color so vibrant and deep, I get lost every time.

"Nat? Natasha are you there?"

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, Tony," I turned to him.

"Vision has found another warehouse where Ultron worked, it's in Sokovia, we need to go there and get all the weapons he had built before we destroyed him."

"Alright when do we leave?"

"you're staying Nat you're hurt, better not risk it, and I trust you to keep an eye on Y/N, from Monday I think she can resume school, but while we're away check on her please" he paused "I think she also needs a break, live a normal day, no training...you see how to handle these things ok?"

"alright, but I want to be updated on how the mission is going" I replied firmly.

"ok, that's fine Wanda will write down everything we find out while we're away" he turned away "we're leaving in about twenty minutes, I'll see you at the jet and I'll say goodbye to Y/N" he turned around and disappeared around the corner

I went back to look at her, for a few moments, before calling her, and sending her to change.
While I waited for Y/N to change I decided to treat the wound and change the bandages.
While I was disinfecting my stitches Y/N came out from behind the door and with the hint of a smirk headed my way.

"do you need a hand?" she asked me softly as she watched what I was doing.

"don't worry i got this" I answered her but as I took the bandages they slipped out of my hand.
