Natasha Pov


The cool water closed around my entire body like a skin. I just let myself sink and enjoyed the silence. But then something stirred inside me. Wait a minute. They had just thrown me into the water and the others were still in danger. I pulled myself together and began to move my arms to reach the surface of the water. It wasn't easy, as my legs were still tied together. But finally I made it. The moment my head broke through the smooth surface of the water, several things happened at once. I breathed in the air that my lungs so desperately needed. Meanwhile, I saw the whole troupe, (Y/n) at the front, come out from behind the bamboo wall and stop laughing. But how did that happen? Just a moment ago they had been in the cafeteria fighting the attackers. But at that moment, that question had answered itself. The supposed attackers had taken off their balaclavas and out came Bucky and Sam. Who else?


"Hats off (Y/n). And I always thought I was the master of putting things in, but this really tops everything," Tony said between laughs. Wait a minute? That was (Y/n's) idea? That couldn't be true. "But... I... Do you know how scared I was for you?" I said, still a bit confused. "For us or for (Y/n)?" Pietro wanted to know with a grin. "I just won't be afraid for any of you in the future. I mean, what have I done to deserve this?" I complained and looked around. "Oh, Natasha, don't be angry. It was just a joke. And besides, I think you needed the loosening up," (Y/n) tried to reassure me, with a playfully sweet tone.


Then an idea popped into my head. I swam to the edge of the pool and propped myself up a bit. Then I sighed, "Maybe you're right. Come on, come here." After a moment's hesitation, she walked towards me and squatted down in front of me, at least to be a little more at my level. I took the collar of her jumper and pulled her closer to my face. The others began to stage a drum roll, shouting "Ohhhh!" as they did so, getting louder and louder. When my lips almost touched hers and I knew that she had given up all control at that very moment, I pulled hard on her jumper and threw her over my shoulder into the cool water. Now everyone laughed again and (Y/n) surfaced, snorting and gasping for air.


Then she swam to me. When she was right in front of me, I pulled her towards me once more and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. Confused, she looked at me. "Here? In front of everyone?" "As if they hadn't figured it out already, and besides, I owed you one," I grinned. "Well, if that's the case." With those words, (Y/n) pulled me into another heartfelt kiss. "Awww, that's sweet," Pepper suddenly said and we broke away again. "Well, that took long enough," Tony said and I gave him a dirty look before turning to his wife. "Pepper, I'm a lot of things. But NOT cute," I warned her. "Oh, I think you're cute, actually," (Y/n) said, hanging onto my back like a koala as she wrapped her arms and legs around me.


"The pool really seems to be your thing," Pietro said and we had to laugh. "What does he mean?" Steve wanted to know. "It's not that important, Grandpa." "Who are you calling a Grandpa Natsaha?" he complained, but I didn't let him stop me. "Why don't you come in and we'll sort it out? And you are not the only one I have a bone to pick with," I said and smiled bitter-sweetly.Sam shouted suddenly and the next moment he landed in the pool with a loud splash. Bucky jumped into the water with that. Wanda lifted Steve and Pietro at the same time with her magic and let them float over the pool. "Who wants to?" "Wanda, I'm warning you, if-" But by then it was too late for Steve and they both landed in the water. Pietro didn't just put up with that. Not a second later he was out of the water and shortly afterwards back in, together with his sister and Peter, who had stood helplessly behind Tony. Tony, who at first was a bit shocked that Peter was suddenly in the water, grabbed Pepper and ran with her towards the pool. "TONY!" was the last thing she could scream before they also landed in the water.
(Y/n) Pov


After Nat had started a water fight, Vision had suddenly appeared, already worried about Wanda. After she had explained what had happened, he had brought us a pile of towels. Everyone quickly changed into dry clothes and went about their daily schedule. Since there wasn't much on mine and Natasha's today, we were now lying together on the sofa in the common room, snuggled up in blankets.


I had laid my head on her chest and she was drawing little circles on my back with her finger. Suddenly Bucky's voice rang out. "Well, you can really be proud of that." Then his head appeared above us. "Hey, Buck. Why?" I greeted him. "Nat hates cuddling." "No, she doesn't." Natasha grumbled. "It's true. So when we were married, we-" "Married?" I screamed and looked at them both in horror. But they just looked at me as if they didn't know what my problem was. Suddenly they both snorted and then burst out laughing. "But what's so funny now?" I asked, confused, as I had no idea what was happening. "He was just messing with you, ты маленький дьявол," Natasha then said placatingly. "Dork," I laughed and gave him a little slap."Little devil huh?" wanted to know Bucky. "What?" Confused, I looked at him. "That's what I always say to you: ты маленький дьявол. Pietro said it once and I thought it was quite appropriate," Nat explained. "Well, thank you very much." I laughed and gave her a little bang on the head too. "Oh, I think it's sweet," the brown-haired man interjected. "How did you understand that?" Natasha asked. "I don't know much Russian, but I understand a little." "Good to know." she laughed. "Yep. Well, I'll leave you to it." "Ciao." I called after him, then turned back to the red-haired beauty.


"So you're not a cuddle monster?" "Nope, but with the right person, I'd love to get involved." she grinned. "So romantic today." I remarked sarcastically. "Yeah, right?" Then I pressed a kiss to her lips and lay back down. Natasha began to draw circles over my back again and shortly afterwards I was asleep.


I landed on the floor with a loud bang and woke up. "(Y/n) Are you alright?" I heard Natasha say in a muffled voice. "I'd have been better if you hadn't shooed me down," I complained, grabbing my buzzing skull. "(Y/n) I didn't shove you. You fell through the sofa." I looked around. Why was I under the sofa and not next to it? "And how on earth do I get under the sofa?" I asked and pulled myself out from under it. "(Y/n) you didn't just fall down. You fell THROUGH." Confused, I looked at her, as I had so many times in the last few hours. "Don't fuck with me." "I'm telling you." "You'd better help me up." I held out my hand to her and she reached for it, but she reached through it. "Not again," I moaned. "Again?" asked Natsha in horror. "Yes, when I was in the Hydra building the same thing happened," I tried to explain. I tried to explain. "Okay, that's enough. I'll call Tony."


A few minutes later, Toyn was standing in front of me, running his hand through mine in fascination. "I've never seen that before," he said. "And that's only the case with your hand?" he asked. "Well, she just fell through the sofa and I don't think it was because of the sofa," Natasha explained worriedly. "But why did she only fall through the sofa?" asked Pepper, who had also come along. "I don't know. Maybe the condition went away quickly enough," said Tony. "What kind of condition?" I wanted to know in horror. "It looks as if your body is dissolving in such a way that it connects with the atoms of the other object or the other person. So you then become a part of it, as it were, for a short time. The atoms match it and so you can reach through things. But that is actually impossible. You only have your own atoms and they can't connect to others as they please. Unless-" "Tony, can we please call my parents?" I interrupted him and looked at him with a serious face. "Well..." he began, but Pepper put a hand on his shoulder. "Tony, please. It's the most sensible thing to do." He thought about it for a moment and then agreed. "All right."
