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

Missed me?

Seven weeks after Y/n went through the portal

"Is Loki here?" Thor asks as he barges the common room. He's both angry and worried, i can see that.

"I thought he was on Asgard?" Tony asks.

"Not anymore, he took the Bifrost down to Midgard"

"Well, where is he then?" Steve asks, i guess still not trusting him after the NY battle. No matter what he means to Y/n or what she says about him.

"Maybe he's foundNatasha, we talked about this" Steve says and Wanda gives him a glare.

"They have a special connection, maybe he travelled to wherever that whole took her too, i'm not saying that she's alive i'm just saying that he might be in the same place."

"You think Loki's dead?" Bucky asks, confused.

"No, i think the wormhole took her someplace that's not here, maybe a different time or place. I mean, that's how Daniel got here in the first place, maybe it's possible."

"A portal has opened in the common room" Friday announces and i quickly start to run with Natasha on my heels. I see that it's not just us running as we meet Tony in his suit and Steve running alongside Bucky and Clint. Thor coming running behind us.

"Feels good to be home" a familiar voice says as we stand there, hiding behind the wall. "I can hear your heartbeats and your breathing, you're not exactly quiet"

"Is that?" Tony asks and i walk out to look at who's in front of us"

"Missed me?" Y/n asks with a smile and tear in her eye. Before i can talk myself out of it i run up to her and hug her. I can't believe i'm hugging her, in front of everyone else. And she's hugging me back. After everyone has gotten to think that i hate her, to see me hugging her.

"Y/n?" Natasha says and the rest emerges from behind the wall. She lets me go and just stares at Natasha for a few seconds before rushing into her embrace. They meet halfway and i can't but admire the love they share. The love i wish i could share with someone. And it's the thought i have as i meet Bucky's gaze, who seems to think the same.

"Where the hell have you been?" i ask her in a whisper, not letting myself let out the sob in my throat.

"You wouldn't believe me even if i told you"

"I missed you so much and i'm so sorry for what i said" i say, now with tears rolling down my face into the crook of her neck.

"You have nothing to be sorry about, i will always love you and trust you and from now on i will never keep a secret from you ever again"

"I believe you" i say and that's it.

I continue to answer everyone's questions as i still have Natasha in my arms in the sofa. I can feel how heavy her body is from not sleeping much, the same heaviness i radiate. But i tell them about everything that happened, the people, the planet and the life i had started there.

And after a few hours we all started to get so tired that everyone went off to sleep. And i was right about how she would treat the scars. The glass sharded scars she kisses gently while the takes a wet towel to clean the bigger and deeper ones. Sitting upon me, straddling me as i keep my hands on her hips. It doesn't even hurt when she cleans it, not anymore. The weakness i had gotten before is gone, and the change i had over there is still there.

"Feels good to be home"

"Feels good to have you home" Natasha mumbles against the skin of my neck, gently pressing her lips against a soft spot.

97 years later, summer of 2086

"I told you that this life isn't that happy eventually" Y/n says, pulling me into her side as more tears roll over my cheeks over my sister grave.

"Y/n, i don't care how many funerals i have to attend, as long as it's not yours" and i mean every word i say, no matter how much it hurts to see everyone else i care about wither away with time. We're the only one's left in the cemetery and the letter she gave me is still hard in my hand, in my pocket. "But i have to ask, where you ever going to tell me?"

"Tell me what?" she asks, genuinely confused and not knowing what i'm talking about.

"What you made Yelena promise not to tell me" i answer as i hand her the letter. She takes it and reads through it quickly. Reading how Yelena wrote in detail of how Y/n had gotten her out of the Red Room and compelled her not to tell me that the Red Room still existed.

"Never, i wasn't going to tell you. I was just gonna wait it out and if you ever found out, i would tell you"

"So you lied"

"I never lied and i never kept it a secret, you never asked and if you had, i would probably have answers truthfully" and it's not like i don't understand why she does what she does, i'm probably one of the only people who's ever known what goes around in Y/n's head.

"Then there is only one thing we need to do before going back to Britain" i say as we begin to walk away from the tombstone. Passing everyone else on our way out. Including out own where it's so lovely engraved our names and our sacrifice. I suspect that in a few hundred years they'll dig up these graves to see what was so special about us and see that we were never there. I do wonder where we'll be when that happens, maybe that's when we'll get know to the world as immortals.

"Yeah, and what is that?"

"Take it down, once and for all" And there is a wicked smile on Y/n's lips as we make out way to the waiting woman by the car.
