Once In A Lifetime

Chapter Six

Y/N Pov

Once you all arrived back at the compound, Natasha suggested making cupcakes! Which honestly surprised you. You didn't expect the cold, hard Russian to suggest this. Wanda agreed immediately so you agreed as well. You guys started getting all the stuff you needed to make cupcakes, while Wanda and Natasha worked on the cupcake mix; you took it upon yourself to make homemade icing for them! You decided that you would turn on some music while you guys were working. "Obsessed" by Mariah Carey came on and you all started singing along to it. Dancing around in the kitchen doing something that you enjoyed was so much fun! You can't remember the last time you did something like this. Suddenly, during your dancing, Natasha came up and pulled you into a playful dance. All three of you were laughing so hard. Wanda was watching with nothing but the happiness she was feeling.

After your little dance party, the cupcakes were done. You all split them up and started decorating them. You declared yourself the winner of the "contest" and took the plate of them into the living room. You all decided to watch a romantic comedy to end your night. After too many cupcakes and a few movies later, you all were tired, so you all decided to head to bed. You lay in your bed feeling the happiest you have in a long time.

"You'll never be good enough! You can't even pass your English class! What's wrong with you? Huh?!" Your father smacked you on the side of the head. "Sorry, daddy. I really tried!" 9 year old you said while holding the side of your head. "Guess I'm going to have to teach you a lesson then." It was a statement. You knew what was coming next when you saw him take off his belt. You screamed when the first hit landed. "Maybe you'll learn your lesson this time!" He spat at you with disgust.

You shot up in your bed immediately noticing someone standing near your bed. You quickly moved away from them and tried to catch your breath. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'll try harder!" You said while sobbing. "Shh, shh, it's okay Y/N it's just me, Wanda. Nat is here too. We heard you screaming. Are you okay?" Hearing that you completely broke down. You felt someone holding you while you cried. You noticed that touch was soft and calculated. They didn't want to hurt you. Just comfort. And that's exactly what you needed right now. So, you leaned into who was holding you hearing "It's okay. You're okay." Repeatedly until you finally stopped crying. You laid down once you settled some. The woman who was holding you tried to get up, but you quickly grabbed their hand. "Please, don't leave me." You said tearily. "Okay, we'll stay." With that, you felt someone holding you from the front while someone else slid in behind you and held you.

You tried to steady your breathing with who was in front of you. You tried to match their breathing to lull yourself to sleep. With the calm heart beating and the occasional hand rubbing your back, you fell into a deep sleep.
