True Love Never Runs Smooth (Natasha Romanoff)

Chapter 15

TW mentions of abuse and rape

Naomi's POV

After about ten minutes of Nat and I holding each other in pure bliss, she went to go tell the team that I was awake. Wanda, of course, was the first through the door and Bucky was close behind her. Wanda threw herself on top of me and gave me a hug. I was in pain but I could tell she needed this hug. Bucky was next to give me a hug which was way softer than Wanda's. 

"Ah, Lady Naomi I'm glad you're ok."

"Thunder Thor it's good to see your face."

I greeted everyone else and received many hugs. I could tell a lot of them had questions but I wasn't ready to tell everyone yet.

After a couple of hours of talking to everyone, most of them left except for Wanda, Bucky, and Nat.

"Well since I know you guys want an explanation, I'll give you guys one."

"Naomi, you don't have to."

I grabbed Natasha's hand. "It's fine."

"Luke first hit me two weeks into our relationship. That's why I strangely had that black eye. Things slowly got worse and he kept getting better at manipulating me. Nat, after I left you yesterday I went to him. I felt dumb and like I screwed everything up. Like I deserved what he gave me. So that's why when I went I told him the truth, to make him angry so it would be worse. He dragged me to the bedroom and hit me all over with his belt, which he then used to tie me to the bed."

Natasha let her thumb softly glide over the bruise that is wrapped around my wrist.

"He um then started to take off our clothes and well I guess you can guess what he did after, it doesn't really take a genius."

Tears were now starting to leak out of my eyes

"I was just numb to it all. It was like I was back in the Red Room, letting men use my body however they wanted. Thoughts then started to fill my head of how I didn't deserve any of that so I put up a fight but I still couldn't get out. Eventually, he finished his business, untied me, and then went to bed. I waited a little and then tried to make my escape. He somehow woke up and we fought. At some point, he pulled out a knife and stabbed me. Once I was able to get free, I ran until I was at Nat's door."

Everyone was crying and I could see the look of anger in all of their eyes but thankfully they all stayed and comforted me right now. All I needed was them to stay with me, not go and get revenge right now.

Once we all settled down, Wanda started to stumble over her question. "Um, this may be weird but if he um you know finished in you, don't you need the pill."

"The Red Room actually took care of that. Bye-bye uterus."

Natasha looked at me with a horrified look.

"You went through the graduation ceremony?"

"Unfortunately."

Natasha sat up and pulled me into a hug.

"Fuck, my love. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. It's terrible."

"Tasha, It's ok. It sucks we both went through that but we are here now. Together."

She pulled away and looked me in the eyes. She started to lean in to kiss me but Bucky's question stopped her.

"My love?"

"Ha yay you guys finally confessed your love for each other. I've been waiting for this. The sexual tension was too strong to bear."

"Wanda, what sexual tension are you talking about?"

"Please Naomi, I know you're not that naive."

Bucky and Natasha just chuckled as I crossed my arms over my chest and pouted. It was instantly washed away when Nat leaned in to leave a peck on my lips.

"Alright baby, you need some rest."

Wanda and Bucky stood up and gave me hugs before they left. Wanda mentioned something about finally being able to go on triple dates together on her way out the door.

"Hey Tasha, can you spend the night in here?" I asked while scooting over to create space for her.

"Of course."

She took her spot beside me and I cuddled up into her, bathing in her warmth. Now, this is something I could get used to.
