Forever Yours Natasha Romanoff FF (English part)

Chapter 40

(Y/n) Pov

Shortly after Tony had given his OK for me to call my parents, I had gone to our room together with Natasha to get my mobile phone. There I dialled my parents' number and put the phone to my ear. Natasha just stopped beside me. My mother's voice rang out on the other end of the line.

"Hello (Y/n). Is that you ?"

I took a deep breath. My breath was shaky and my pulse was beating fast and loud. I didn't know if it was because I was still agitated or because I was scared. Afraid of what would happen to me. Well, it was probably a mixture of both.

"Mum..."

"(Y/n), sweetheart. Are you all right? We... we haven't heard from you in so long. But Lizzie's been keeping us up to date."

I tried, no I wanted to say something but my lips were sealed. I couldn't make a sound. It was like someone was cutting my vocal cords so I could never speak again.

"(Y/n) are you still there?"

My mother's voice was brittle. I could hear that she was sad and distressed and it tore my heart apart. I opened my mouth to say something but no sound came out. A small tear rolled down my cheek as if to wash away all the pain. Carefully, Natasha now took the mobile phone from my hand. Then she put the call on loud so that I could listen in.

"Hey, it's Natasha. I'm a friend of (Y/n)."

"Where is (Y/n)? Is she okay? Why isn't she talking? Wha-"

"Ma'am you need to calm down. What's your name?"

"Jessica. But you can call me Jess."

"Okay, Jess, that's good. I need you to listen to me very carefully right now ok Jess?"

I knew what she was doing. A few weeks ago Steve had told me that the most important thing in hectic situations was to stay calm. Otherwise you would lose your head and be lost. He also said that this was why we sometimes had to support and reassure each other. He said that making oneself and the environment or the situation clear can often help. And that's exactly what Natasha did now. She made it clear to my mother who she was and was able to reassure her.

"Okay."

"Do you have anything to write with ?"

"Um, yeah. Yes, I do."

"Very good Jess. I'm going to give you an address and you're going to write it down."

"Ok."

Natasha calmly dictated the address of the facility to her, taking care to give my mother all the rest and time she needed.

"What do I do with this address now?"

"You take everything you need, put your husband in the car and drive to this address. Do you understand that, Jess?"

"Yes, yes, but... why? (Y/n) isn't there, is she? She's in NYC isn't she?"

Yes, that was what she thought. But unfortunately it wasn't quite true. But that didn't matter now. At the moment I only wanted one thing. That they came here. And Lizzie. Oh God Lizzie. I lifted my hand and tugged at Natasha's top. She turned to me with a questioning look. "Lizzie," was all I could croak out. Nat gave me a knowing look and then nodded slightly before turning away again.

"Yes (Y/n) is here. I'll explain everything when you're here. It's easier then. Jess I have one more request for you."

"Yes?"

"Please bring Lizzie with you. (Y/n) needs her now, too."

"Okay. I-I'll call her right away. Natasha I have one more question and I'm asking you now because I feel like I can trust you."

"Go ahead."

"Does all this have something to do with...Hydra?"

Shocked, I looked at Natasha. How did my mother know about Hydra? And what kind of question was that? But she also looked at me, clueless and confused. Then she took a deep breath before she continued.

"Jess, how do you know about Hydra?"

"So I'm right."

"Jess, please answer my question!"

"Not over the phone. I'll explain as soon as we get there. We'll leave as soon as possible."With that she hung up.

Natasha Pov

After (Y/n)'s mother hung up, she was not exactly more reassured than before. She got up and stormed out of the room. I quickly ran after her towards the common room. "(Y/n) stop. (Y/n) !" But she did not stop. I shifted gears and finally got hold of her arm. "What?" she shouted and stopped. "(Y/n), you are angry, I understand..." "Oh yes I am?" she snapped back. "Yes, but you are not angry with me. Are you? So let me talk to you." I tried to calm her down. "Why did they lie to me Natasha? Why?" Now her voice was angry but also hurt. "What do you mean?" I asked, not sure what it was about. "My parents. Do you think it's a coincidence that they know what Hydra is and that after being in one of their buildings I can suddenly push myself through objects ? I certainly don't." "Yeah, but what does this have to do with them lying to you?" I wanted to know, looking into her tear-filled eyes. "Natasha. My treatment. I can hardly remember anything. But I knew the Hydra uniform." she explained in a brittle voice as tear after tear slowly rolled down her cheeks. "Do you think..." "My parents let Hydra help them." Now there was an uncomfortable silence and I didn't really know what to say.

"Maybe it's not like that and there is another explanation. A better one," I said after a while. The girl smiled mildly and slowly shook her head. "You don't believe that yourself, do you?" "Not really. No," I had to admit, because I couldn't bring myself to lie to her. "Why Natasha? Why me?" Now her tears were flowing down her face in little torrents. I quickly took her in my arms and hugged her tightly. "I don't know. But I promise you we'll find out."

Suddenly Pietro ran around the corner. "Hey Tony told me that you are calling (Y/n)'s parents. Do you have anyone-" "Shh !" I hissed and pointed at (Y/n) with a slight movement of my head. "Ohh um...I'll be back later." Just as he turned to leave, the girl raised her head. "Pietro wait! Please don't go." she then said. Slowly he came over to us. "Ok...and now?" he wanted to know and to be honest I was also a bit overwhelmed with the situation, so I just shrugged my shoulders. Then (Y/n) detached an arm from me and stretched it out towards Pietro. Pietro understood immediately, came closer to her and put his arms around her. Then (Y/n) put her arm around him and me again, so that we stood there like a ball. "Oh ok. Group cuddling. Great," I murmured wryly. "I like it." Pietro laughed and I rolled my eyes.

"Would you like to tell me what that's all about?" I suddenly heard Wanda's voice. "Group cuddling without me? No way." With that she threw herself on Pietro's back and clung to him. "Okay, enough with the... caresses." I said and detached myself from them. You go on without me. I'll go tell Tony and the others." With these words I turned around and ran off to find Stark.
