Romanogers: After Civil War

chapter 4

Later that night, the 3 sat silently in the sitting room, with the tv on, watching the news. They were waiting, had been all evening, for anything, anything at all, that could help them rescue their friends.

' friends?' Natasha thought,' were they though? Would they forgive her?' she bit her lip. Steve looked up at her, looking a little concerned," you ok nat?" He asked. She smiled slightly, it was nice to hear herself called nat, not Natasha or black widow or traitor, just nat, like old times.

" Yeah, how bout you cap, need me to get you a life alert?" She replied, smirking. " Haha," he said back sarcastically, but smiling. Adleast she had him, and bucky of course, but she felt safe with steve.

A little while later, bucky decided to go to bed, it was half 12 after all. After saying night to the 2 of them he left, closing the door behind him. " So grandpa, what you wanna do?" Natasha asked, smiling at him. " Grandpa jokes never get old to you, do they?" He said in exasperation.
" Nope!" She replied.
" How bout you tell me what you've been doing?" He said," how much trouble have you got yourself into these past few months?"
" Says you Rogers, who was it that started the whole war which resulted in all this?" Natasha said.

She saw the smile fade from his face.
" Wait, Steve," Natasha said," I didn't mean it like-"
" I'm sorry." He sighed. He put his head in his hands. " This is all my fault, that they are in jail, we are on the run, that you've lost your family."
At this Natasha looked up. He smiled ever so slightly before saying," I know how much you care about them, I know you well Nat."

He looked so vunrable, he had opened up to her, so she would open up to him. " I'm scared," she said. To many people this may not seem so big, but the black widow didn't get scared. He looked back at her. " Why," he whispered. " I'm scared they'll hate me for what I've done, you know with the accords and everything with stark," she whispered back, before looking him dead in the eyes," your not the only one who thinks it's there fault."

Suddenly Steve put his arm around her. Natasha tensed but almost at once relaxed, butterflies in her stomach. He then pulled her into a tight hug, whispering," we'll be ok," before he to exited the room. Natasha stood where he left her, she really wasn't alone.
