A Monster To Some But Never To Her

Chapter 3

Tatum's POV:

    I look at my alarm noticing its barely 7:32 AM. Score. I roll onto my back and sigh softly as I get more comfortable on my bed. As I start to drift off to sleep again dreaming of a blue eyed blonde suddenly my door slams open and I get lifted off of my bed.

   I yelp in surprise as I'm suddenly pinned to the wall. "What the fuck is going on?! I was having the best dream about Blake Lively!" I exclaim loudly while looking at Wanda and Ardeen who's staring at me with a look.

  "Has mom told you anything about leaving?" Ardeen asks me and I stare at her in confusion.

   "What, no. Can you release me now?" I respond struggling against the hold Wanda has on me.

  Wanda narrow her eyes at me and leans in close to me. "Are you sure Natasha hasn't told you anything? You wouldn't be lying to us right, Tatum?" She sweetly asks me and I shake my head quickly while gulping.

  "No! I swear Wanda, she didn't tell me anything. I give you permission to look in my mind if you want," I respond and she sighs while letting me go.

  I grunt slightly and rub my back gently. "What happened to Natasha?" I ask worriedly and go to my dresser to get some clothes on since I went to bed in boxers and a sports bra.

"She's gone. Friday told us that she left in the middle of the night carrying the small briefcase of those red vials," Ardeen answers biting her bottom lip in worry.

   I frown as I put on a T-shirt. "She hasn't mentioned anything to me. I can try calling her but I doubt if she picks up on me since she didn't pick up on you two. You girls are more important to her than I," I tell them grabbing my phone.

"Believe me, Tate, you are just as important to her as we are," Wanda softly tells me and for some reason my heart gets warm.

  So I do care to thee Black Widow. Aw how sweet. I smile slightly before hitting Natasha's contact. 🕷️👩🏻‍🦰.

She kicked my ass when she saw what I had her under. It hurt but she let me keep it. "You've reached Natasha Romanoff. If I didn't answer it's for a reason or I don't have my phone near. Leave me a message and I'll see if your worth calling back," her voicemail travels from my phone to my ear.

   Of course that would be her voicemail. I chuckle softly with a small shake of my head and put my phone down.

  "No answer," I inform the two who frown and sigh. Mr. Stark has requested your presences Wanda, Tatum, Ardeen to his lab.  F.R.I.D.A.Y announced making all three of us head towards Tony's lab.

   Where the hell did you go, Natasha? We walked in and the others were there. "Finally. We may have found our little Black Widow stray," Tony comments using his tablet to make a holographic map appear.

  I chuckle quietly at his words and sit down on a stool watching a red dot appear. Suddenly a loud crash coming from the living room and alarms blaring caught all of our attentions.

  "Intruder!" F.R.I.D.A.Y announces through the intercoms. We all run out of the lab towards the living room where we find a person covered from head to toe with combat gear with a metal shield and sword.

  "Who are you? What do you want?" Cap spoke up with authority as we all stare down the figure.

   The figure turns their head like they're scanning all of us. "I don't like them," AV tells me in my mind and I hum quietly in agreement.

   Their head snaps towards Tony's lab and they began walking towards it. "Woah, stop right there!" Tony orders out while calling for his suit.

They don't listen so Cap throws his shield making the intruder lean back and the shield goes over them. AV takes over and we roar at them then shoot a web at them.
