Final Decision

"So, you and Steve get along well now?" Natasha asked when she closed the door to her and Costias room. It was quite so suddenly, only their voices audible.

"Don't." Costia shook her head, "Don't avoid the real reason why we're talking right now." the blonde added as she crossed her arms.

The two were standing in the middle of the room, of their comfort zone. Costia didn't remember that they ever had an argument in here before, not about something important anyways. More about what they would have for dinner.

"Fine." Natasha crossed her arms too. "You wanna hear what I think? Okay, alright. You need to think about this rational. If you don't sign these Accords, considering your past, this could end pretty ugly. If you do the slightest thing illegal you can be locked up in a cell and they could throw the key away. Everyone knows about your past, the people tolerate it because you are in fact a hero and the people love you but if you get more bad news on your image that could change quickly. The Avengers have made some public mistakes, and you and I have too. We need to take a step back."

Costia scoffed, "So, what you are saying is that I'm a criminal and when the puplic has enough of me they'll throw me on the street like garbage?" her voice was already raised a little.

"That's not what I'm saying at all, красивый-"(love)

"It sounds exactly like what you are saying. I don't care what the people think about me, I don't care if they lock me up. I won't sign these fucking Accords!" she shouted.

"You and I both know that's not true." Natasha matched her tone to Costias, "You can't even stand to stay alone in a room for a few hours. Cos, you need to understand that not signing won't get you anywhere. If you don't sign, it's over. Then you aren't an Avenger anymore. Is that really what you want?"

"Why do you even think signing these Accords would change the slightest thing about my image?" Costia kept getting louder. "My whole past I didn't get to make my own choises. Now I can and I will never let anyone take that from me ever again. All these Accords will do is that, they will take our right to choose! Didn't you listen?"

Most of the Avengers were still sitting downstairs or went back to their rooms. They all heard the two fight. It was the first time in their whole life that they heard them fight, the two always figured things out without yelling and if they raised their voices it was a lot quieter.

Natasha looked at Costia, her eyes softening a little. "I get that you don't want that taken away from you, but if the choice is have half the job or don't have it at all, I'm gonna take what I can." she said a little softer.

Costias eyes filled with tears. She didn't want this, she didn't want to fight with Natasha and she didn't want to sign these fucking Accords. She didn't want any of this to happen. All she wanted was to continue on with her life and keep her family together.

Natasha resisted the urge to step forward and wipe the tears away that were leaving Costias eyes.

"I just-" the bloned started to tear up more, "I just don't want any of this to happen." she said while desperately trying to get some air in her lungs.

Natasha couldn't see her like this, she quickly walked towards her fiancée and the two sat down on the bed together. The redhead took Costia in her lap and the blonde wrapped her arms around Natashas neck.

"I don't want this to happen either." Natasha said quietly as she whipped Costia back and forth.

After a while Costia had calmed down a little, she stayed at her position on Natashas lap though. "So, what do we do?" Natasha asked after a while. Costia sighed, "You know I'm not going to sign the Accords." she said as she leaned closer to her fiancée.
