The machine Nat was hooked up to starts to beep rapidly, the world spins, you close your eyes but you can feel the pressure making you nauseous your breathing quickens into shallow breaths and then it stops. The machine slows into one continuous beep and you can breathe no more.
"SHIT, SHIT." Banner shouts,
"Give her a minu-" Thor says your hearing cutting off the last part, you rush out the door unable to watch any longer, you have no idea where to go so you push a random button on the elevator and step off. You've never been here before but that doesn't matter you walk around, head still spinning, ears ringing, vision black around the edge, you feel the sweat dripping down your back and off your forehead and you rip your jumper off. You bump into a wall and slide down slumping into a pile, hands pressed against your ears counting to slow your breathing."BANNER WHATS HAPPENING." Tony shouts.
"She's in cardiac arrest I'm going to shock her he says pressing the defibrillator paddles against her bare chest."
"gasp" Natasha inhales sharply before the paddles have even been charged. Amazed looks are exchanged and Natasha is swarmed with hugs.
"HAH! I told you to give her a minute." Thor beams.
"Where's Y/N?" Nat says worried her breathing still quick.
"Uhhh," everyone glances round the room.
"I didn't even know she was gone."Thor says watching Clint dart out the room."Y/N?" Clint calls from Natasha's unlocked bedroom. Then in the lounge. Outside. The bar.
"Clint?" Happy calls out after him.
"Uhh- yeah I need to find her, Nat needs her." He says frantically.
"Nat's awake?!" "Who are you looking for?"
"Y/N. Have you seen her? About this tall." He measures with his hands.
"Literally saved us all a few weeks ago."
"Yeahh I know her, works in technology?"
"Uhhh, I don't know what she does but have you seen her?"
"No, sorry pal. I'll look for her with you though."
"Okay, yeah, thanks." "I've checked outside, the lounge, the bar and Nat's bedroom." "We should work our way up the floors. You work up, I'll work down."You sit there still slumped against the wall.
"Y/N?" You hear a familiar voice call out.
"Y/N"
You hear footsteps running towards you, and soon the round man from your interview was helping you to your feet.
"Leave me alone." You sighed wiping your nose.
"She's alive."
"What?"
"Natasha she's alive." Happy informs you giddy.
You don't say anything and instead fly past Happy and don't even bother waiting for the elevator, you run down the stairs as fast as you can all the way to the medical bay.You stand at the doorway your lit up eyes still shiney from sobbing, she looks at you with a smirk and you fly into her arms where you melt into a puddle of sobs and sniffles.
"Hey, It's okay. I'm here." She says in the softest voice.
"You were dead for so long," you wail, hugging her tighter.
"I would say I know but I don't actually know anything, how long was I 'dead' for?"
"Nine days."
"And now I'm alive?"
"Yep, thanks to Y/N." Thor steps in. "She had the amazing idea of giving you a toxic shot,"
"An injection?" She asked.
"No, like the alcohol. I made you one of my Asgardian-" You tune out of the retelling of the previous horrific events and bury your head into Nat breathing her in never wanting to let her go. "I've got to tell her." You think to yourself.Later that evening when everyone else had disappeared you sat at the end of her bed catching her up on all the small details she missed, about how Banner would force you outside, and Peter became your waiter for the week. She laughed at them and you laughed with her but only to comfort her, deep inside you were still shattered by these memories.
"I heard you were the brains behind getting me back to life." She smiles at you.
"Well, you probably would've survived without me." You say humbly.
"Hmm, maybe, maybe not." She says mocking your words from the previous week and reaches out to touch your hand which you bat away playfully.
"Okay but being serious," "thank you."
"Don't be silly, consider it a returned favour."
"Not just for saving my life, for saving the avengers. Clint told me about how great you were," She says cupping your face staring deep into your eyes.
"I-" You speak.
"Ah." She says sliding her finger onto your lips to shush you, you turn red.
"I think your great." She says pulling you closer. You pull away, and instantly feel guilty as a flash of hurt flickers on Natasha's face.
"Did Tony talk to you?" You ask gently.
"No why?"
"No reason," You say stiffly.She pats the space next to her telling you to get into bed. You check the time 11pm, and snuggle down next to her.
"Okay so tell me all about your fight with Thanos' weird alien accomplice." She asks.
"So I dropped into the spaceship and I whipped my head around and there was the alien guy, so I sliced him and he started bleeding like purple, sticky blood and then he started strangling me and then BAM. I punch him with the knife and he lets go and swoosh, I slide underneath him and stand up and he falls over and I think then I stabbed him or something I can't quite remember." You say with enthusiasm, Nat giggling at your sound effects.
"Then I had to hack into the locked box with the stones in so I do that and as I get them I hear you scream so I rush over and I watch and I think 'Oh my God how the hell am I going to take down that' I think about like just knocking him out with my mind but it would take so much power that just putting him out for a minute would probably kill me and then I think 'Wait, I have the power stone I can just like power punch him', but I forgot which one was the power stone but Clint told me and I punched him soooo much and I really hope he's dead now." You finish, taking a big sigh to signify your speech is over.
"Ah man, wish I coulda seen it."
"Lucky you didn't you'd probably have to give me your job."
"You wish." She says scrunching her face which slowly falls into a look of concentration.
"Hold on." She says grabbing her phone punching in some numbers and holding it to her ear.
"What?" You mouth but she ignores you."Romanoff, what do you want it's midnight."
"A hello would be nice, I've just arisen from the dead." She scoffs sarcastically.
"Come down here and I'll tell you." She says and puts the phone down.About 10 minutes later Tony arrives.
"Y/N could we have a minute?" She asks softly. Confused you step outside."What is it Nat?" Tony asks.
"Okay please just listen to me, don't shut me down,"
"Okay."
"I'd like to propose that we hire Y/N to become an avenger."
"Nat, just because she's now you're new girlfriend or whatever doesn't mean she can join the avengers."
"No, that's the thing it's not because she's my girlfriend or whatever it's because I genuinely think she has potential, she's good Tony. Did you see her on that ship? Clint did, I wouldn't have made it off the jet if it wasn't for her and I certainly wouldn't have made it through any of the other shit." "She's smart, a scientist. She can fight. She's a technology God. SHE FOUND OUT HOW MANY INFINITY STONES THANOS HAD BY HACKING HIS FUCKING SPACESHIP." Nat whisper shouts. "If you don't give her a chance I really will wonder why the world calls you a genius."
"I-" Tony starts but Nat cuts him off.
"Just think about it okay?" He nods and turns to leave.
"Wait," "why did you think me and Y/N were 'girlfriends or whatever'?"She asks quoting him.
He doesn't respond and just backs out the door tapping his head."Well what was all that about?" You ask, Nat yawns.
"I'll tell you in the morning." She says
"Sleep." She whispers.
