Naked truth

Natasha pov

I'm surprised that she told me the truth of what she did, at leas the entire truth i know.

"I should let them in" Y/n says and without another word or look at me she opens the door to let them in. Daniel stands up as soon as they walk in. "Ingrid, meet your father, Daniel

"Oh my, he looks just like in the picture" she says as she takes in the fact that she gets to meet her father at least once. That she, how grew up without her birth parents and thinking they didn't want her, gets to meet the ones who would have loved her more than life itself.

"Why is he locked in a cell?" Diana asks, rocking Thomas in her arms.

"It's one of the side effects of how he got here, we don't want him to hurt himself or anyone else, so it's just temporary." Y/n answers, reassuring them with half truths.

"We'll let you talk in private, we have something to do" i say with a smile on, grabbing her hand.

"We'll only be a call away if anything happens" she says before i almost drag her out the door. She's quiet as i lead her into one of the conference rooms. And to think that a little more than a month ago, we sat here planning our wedding.

"I know i have somethings to explain..." she start but i cut her off.

"No shit you do, you're not supposed to keep secrets from me. I'm your wife now, that means we're in this together" she just looks at me as i continue to ramble on about all the things she didn't tell me, the curse, the man and Daniel, that she's going to die soon no matter what we do.

"Can i talk now?" she asks as i stop to talk for a few second breath and i nod. "I am really sorry but i had my reasons to everything i do"

"And what if i don't agree with your reasons"

"Then you don't, but they're mine and these are the ones i'm keeping too. You can't make me change my mind about that"

"I'm not trying to change your mind, i'm trying to understand why you kept it a secret"

"You don't?"

"Of course not, i believe that you will make the right choice for the ones you love and yourself"

"Did Sam tell you that?"

"Not exactly, we have residue of the Asgardian energy and i used our telepathy to read his mind"

"So you got it in Sam's memory"

"But i still do, but why would you keep it a secret?"

"Because i don't anyone, okay" she snaps at me and i'm startled. I knew that i wouldn't like the answer but this isn't exactly what i originally thought.

"No one, huh?"

"Nat, i didn't..."

"But you did Y/n. I'm here for you to trust me, for better of for worse, in sickness and in health, remember"

"You don't understand"

"What is it that i don't understand Y/N, that you don't trust me? I already got that"

"But i do trust you Natalia" she lips back to that name and i know she's sincere, but that doesn't change the facts.

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"Because i was scared, okay, i was scared that you would give up on me"

"Why would you think that?" her words hurt me more than any blade would, more than a bullet. Like she ripped out my heart.

"That's what everyone does, when something is unfixable they tend to stop trying to fix it"

"And you thought that i was one of them, but not Sam or Wanda?"

"They weren't supposed to know, i only told Sam about the man at the compound and Wanda figured out things more on her own" it was almost like an insult, like i should have figured it out on my own.

"I'm starting to think all of this was a mistake"

"What do you mean by all this?"

"I mean marrying you, it's obviously not the right time" but i regret the words as soon as they come over my lips. I don't regret marrying her or anything we've ever done. It's just that i don't have the energy to keep this up. I can see the tears trying to escape  her eyes but she succeeds to keep them in. I try as well but i'm not as strong. At least i can blame it on the fact that i cry when i'm mad. Just as she's about to say something more there is a scream for her name, making us both run out the door in panic. Knowing that the call came from the cell, from Ingrid and Diana.

"Wanda, get them out of here" Y/n says as she continues into the room and to the door of the cell. And before i can stop her, she pulls it open and runs up to him even thought the risk while i lead them out.

"What happened to him?" Diana ask as Ingrid is silent with tears in her eyes. I don't even know what to answer as i don't have all the information, i don't want to imagine how Ingrid must feel right now. How it must be to meet her parents after living a whole life and finding out that they didn't choose to give her up.

"I don't know, just trust y/n that she can fix it"
