In the end, it's only us (Natasha x reader

I made a mistake

Y/n pov

I rush to his side on the floor, hearing his bone crack.

"Daniel, please just look at me"  i say but he only screams in agony. "Daniel. It's me" But it's not him that meets my gaze. His eyes are no longer forest greet but a darker yellow. Somehow similar to my own eyes when i'm dried out.

"Enemy now, friend never" he says with a darkener voice that's not him. The fear strikes me as i realise what i've done, i quickly get up on my feet but he's so much faster than me. He gets to the door before and closes, letting automatically lock up behind him. It only unlocks from the outside and the cell i soundproof so there is no idea in screaming. I think this will be the biggest mistake i've will ever have done.

"Daniel, please, don't. It's still me, it's the same Y/n you fell for, the same you married"

"That woman died a long time ago"

"No, she didn't, i'm right here" i say as he moves closer to me, baking me up against the wall.

"You're a monster, an unlovable monster that needs to be put down" he says and i've never been this scared in my entire life. This wasn't how it was supposed to go. This way, the chance of my body surviving the transformation comes down to an 8 procent. And even though the simulation on downloading my memories became successful, we didn't get a chance to do.

"Please, Danny, it's me" he hesitates at the nickname, but only for a second.

"No, it's not" he lets out a roar in my face as he holds my wrists against the wall. Tighter then anyone has ever before. Not even my brother or Steve is able to do it as super solider, not even Wanda with her magic. Only people like him. I feel the warm run down my arms and drip onto the floor and i know what it means.

Someone must have noticed me as the room quickly fills with some kind of gas, making everything blurry. But the pain is still there, in my arms and over my collarbone. I won't even have days, i'll have hours. He caves to the gas, which must be nitrous oxide, since he falls unconscious to the floor. It's a sedative that doesn't effect me as fast. They let in that on purpose. The lock on the door clicks and i stumble my way over, falling against it and pushing it open as i fall into someone's arms.

I see a redheaded figure move around to cup my face. Her lips moving but nothing comes out. Or maybe i just can't hear it. I let my hand falls into her left hand, gazing over my right arm that's covered in blood. At least i get to look into her emerald eyes one last time before i die. I have no interest in being there but not actually being there.

"I'm sorry" i manage to breath out before everything goes black. It's not that i'm not awake, it's just that i can't feel, can't see, can't hear, but i'm awake.

Two things are roaming my mind, the panic does through my body at her words, her unconscious body laying ni my lap. I was the first one down here, no one is here to help me get her up. This wasn't how it was supposed to go. They were supposed to load up her memory first.

"Mamma" "Grandma" both Ingrid and Diana almost scream as they also rush into the room, finding us on the floor.

"What happened?" Ingrid is trying to get words out of me but i can't. I can't do anything, my only priority now is her.

"We need to get her up to the Medbay now" i mumble, even though they probably heard me and i say with a higher tone. "Friday, get everyone down here now, we need help"

"Everyone is on their way. Mr Rogers and Mr Barnes are closest and should arrive in a second" and the AI is right because they come running through the door. And without hesitation, Bucky picks her up bridal style, her body limp in his arms ans he starts to run back up the stair to the Medbay a few floors up. We all follow him  closely even though he runs father than all of us.

Regret is the other thing roaming my mind, regret for what i had said to her before. That i regretted marrying her. I was just angry at her, i didn't mean it. And now it might be the last thing she ever hears me say.

"What happened?" Tony asks as he also enters the Medbay with Clint in his steps. Helen is already checking on her and Steve is holding me. I didn't even notice him walking up to me, or the tears streaming down my face that's buried in his chest. Bucky is holding Wanda the same way as there are tears in her eyes as well. There is too much happening at the same time that i don't know what to do anymore.

And it's as i dry my cheek with my blooded hand that i realise, that i see the image in my head, the cell was empty when we left. Daniel is out.
