Happy Tuesday!!!

Natasha

They c-came for me? But I thought they didn't want me... I thought.

I listened to them asking me about what happened.

"Natasha..can you tell me where exactly did your captor took you?" Yelena asked. Her voice was a bit hesitant.

"Okay..well.." I started.

CRASH!!!

"Oops. Sorry, Mr. Logan." One of the kids spoke.

"Hey kid if you want to play football. How about you play football outside." Logan scolded the kids.

The sound of a glass breaking made me flinch.

Yelena noticed it as she tried to calm me down.

"Nat. It's okay, it was one of the kids playing." She explained.

I see Clint sweeping up the glass in the hallway.

My body shook a little. I had trouble breathing as I got up from my chair stumbling.

"Nat?" Yelena questioned, getting up as well.

My breathing increased as I remembered something.

"Get away..."

|Flashback|

My captor walked in the kitchen silently. I knew he was there. I could smell his alcoholic breath near me. My hands were shaking from his presence and from trying to fix dinner.

"Do I make you nervous, Natasha?" He asked.

I dawned on it.

"You can speak your mind." He said.

I let out a sigh.

"Y-yes. You make me nervous." I replied.
He walks towards me pressing his clawed finger under my chin.

He smiled when I accidentally made eye contact with him.

"Why won't you look at me? Hmm? Am I scary to you?" He questioned.

He was angry by me not answering right away.

With him being so close, I accidentally dropped the glass cups with red wine in them.

His nostrils flared up as he touched the side of my face.

"I-I am so-..." I began but I fell.

I realized that he slapped me causing me to fall on the floor. I steadily got up touching my face. He didn't use his claws like last time.

I tried to hold in my tears. But it was worse when he knelt on the ground in front of me.

"You know...I don't like being made a fool of, Nat." He spoke.

Suddenly he latched onto my arm, squeezing it tight.

"I'm sorry..." I mumbled.

|Flashback Ends|

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!" I yelled while backing away from them.

I saw blurry movements coming towards me.

"Please, get away from me!" I yelled.

I crouched down shaking.

"Logan...Logan!" I shouted.

"Hey darlin...I am right here. Alright listen to my voice alright. You're safe." I heard his voice.

I leaned into his chest. He wrapped his arms around me.

"Don't leave me alone...." I whispered.

My vision begins to clear up and I realized that I was crying. I'm not allowed to cry.

"I won't. Not in a lifetime." He said.

Looking up, I see Yelena helping Clint and Logan watching me.

"I'm sorry...for looking at you." I apologized.

Logan's eyebrows furrowed in confusion and in anger.

"That's okay, darlin." He said.
