Widows bite N.R

Chapter 28: Ta Daaa

You're awoken by muffled yelling downstairs, and you look down to see Nat is still sound asleep on your chest. So with slight difficulty you slip out from under her put on a shirt, and head down stairs after leaving a post it note on her bedside table.

Hey my love,

If I'm not back before you wake up

I'm making breakfast, I'll be up in a bit

<3 y/n

You make it down to the kitchen and Fury wasn't kidding when he said the avengers were falling apart. "You can't kick me out over a broken window, Pietro is breaking things all the time I don't see him out on the streets" Steve yells, Wanda Pietro and Kate sitting at the bench afraid to say a word, as stark says.

"This isn't an isolated incident, you haven't been cleaning up after yourself you and your super strength are ripping doors off their hinges, last week you ate MY leftovers, and this is MY tower, I decide who lives here and who doesn't" Tony's finger was millimetres from Steve's face, his cheeks flushes red. They fight like an old married couple, 'I want a sandwich', 'you don't do the laundry bla bla bla'. "Boys" You announced, but no one hears me, well if they do, they don't acknowledge my presence. "You haven't contributed anything since y/n got taken, you've been walking around like a sad puppy because Natasha won't talk to you" tony continues to yell, well they clearly don't know I'm here. "BOYS" you yell, they all cover their ears though not due to the level of my voice, but the screeching of metal above us. You all look up to see the once perfect cone light folded like a burrito, well that was weird.

"Fury said you were a mess, but I didn't think it had gone this far" you say, once they remove their hands from their ears, fear still evident in their eyes. "Are we just going to brush over my sixteen-hundred-dollar ceiling lamp you just destroyed" Tony says before realising "Wait, you were fiery, not crushy. Right" he says stupidly, to which you just shrug "and I thought you didn't want anything to do with us" he continues offendedly, and you shrug again.

"Fury came to me practically begging on hands and knees for me to come back, so here I am" you explain waving your hands around while exaggerating your point. "No one's being kicked out, I will fix the window, Nat should be less mopey now. So, Ice cube's got his friend back. Ta daa... the wonderful y/n fixed all your problems" you say dramatically, taking a seat on a spare seat and stealing a bite of Pietro's cereal.

"Fine" Tony says turning to leave the room, "Cap's on probation though" he says as he walks out the door.

"So, what else have I missed?" You ask standing up and heading to the fridge to start prepping breakfast for Nat, you wait for a response, but they all just sit there still in shock before Pietro speaks up.

"Kate's an official Avenger now?" he says nervously, patting her on the back while continuing to not take his eyes off you, watching as you place an apple in your mouth before quickly grabbing the toast.

"Well shit, when did that happen?" you ask excitedly, through the apple between your teeth, waving the toast around enthusiastically.

"About six months after you... you know" Kate says quietly. You nod, and spend the rest of your time in the kitchen in silence having nothing else to say.

Natalia woke up alone this morning, she sat up in bed her head a mess. She knows she loves you, she always has, and she blames herself for you kidnapping but the things you said to her, the way you treated her. She doesn't know if she can move past it.

After finishing up breakfast you make your way upstairs, balancing the tray of food in one hand and holding a glass of orange juice in the other, you know she wont drink it, but it means you can. You enter the elevator whistling the last song you'd heard on the radio, tapping your foot lightly as you watch the buttons light up.

You walk to Nat's room pushing her door open with your foot to see her in the exact position you'd found her last night. Her glasses resting on her nose, so focused on her book she doesn't notice your presence. "Hey gorgeous" you whisper once you make you way to her bedside, her eyes finally meeting yours and a slight smile grows on her face. "Hey, my love" she mutters as you lean in for a kiss.

You place the tray on her nightstand and walk around the other side of the bed, the two of you sit in comfortable silence her eating her breakfast and you scrolling your phone. Unbeknown to you Nat was growing restless, she knew this conversation was inevitable and she hoped she knew where it was going to go but there was really no way to know.

"What does this mean for us?" she speaks up.

And here we go fuckwits, happy birthday to Scarlett . As always leave thoughts and stuff. I'm taking a break for a bit to focus on myself, i should be back after Christmas at the latest.
