Marvel Imagines pt. 5

Liar ❤️‍🔥 Natasha

Song: Black Widow Soundtrack

Imagine: she left you for dead, and now she's back to seek help to find your other sister, Yelena.

Warnings: traumatic past, angst, little fluff. Yelena is like 20 in this. You have bionic limbs (arms and legs) arguing

•••

You hiss as you reach for a glass. It's the middle of the night and again you've been woken up by the pain. It drives you to insanity sometimes. 

15 years, that's how long you have been dealing with the aftermath of her actions. 15 years you haven't seen nor spoken to her.

'Pain again?' Eric asks from behind you as his arms wrap around you. A soft kiss is placed on your neck and you give him a short nod.

The wiring sounds coming from your bionic limbs give Eric just enough evidence to know it is getting worse again.

His hand glides up the vibranium arm and down your back. He rests his hand there to show you he's there with you, calming you a little. His touch can only do so much however...

Your head snaps towards the main hall, your hearing picking up on at least three people. 'What is it?'

'So you are whoring yourself out to them?' Comes a voice from the dark.

'Just like you are whoring yourself out to the avengers...' you speak. Eric's arms  immediately fall from your body.

'Excuse me?' Eric turns to Natasha. 'You dare coming into our house and call my wife a whore?'

'Let her...pot calling the kettle black...' you mutter, Eric visibly relaxes. But he remains on guard, just like always. 'What the fuck do you want...'

'Can we speak somewhere private?' She asks. You nudge your head towards your office.

She follows you together with Steve and Bucky, who were so kind to join her. In truth, Natasha isn't sure if she can even convince you to help her, she's not even sure if she will walk out of this house alive. She already failed one sister however, she is not ready to do the same to the youngest of the three.

'Nice little office you have...' she speaks as she walks in. Her eyes drifting over the paintings in the walls, the various statues and vases all around.

'You should see the rest of our house...' you comment.

'So this is what you're given when you remain part of Dreykov-' your head snaps towards her for the second time that night.

'Dreykov? You think I work for him?' You ask as you sit down and urge her to do the same.

She shrugs and you roll your eyes. 'Really? That is almost insulting Natalia.. I do not work for him anymore.. haven't been for a long time...'

'Then who do you work for?' She asks.

'I don't work for anyone... I got out...'

'He has Yelena...' her eyes look pleading, a look you've seen on her before, many times.

'And what am I to do about that? She was in your care...' you spit at her.

'You have the connections I need to get her back, that's all I want-'

'And why would I help you? Because I'm your blood? Because you have proven that to be worth nothing...' you lift your arm. 'It is because of you... that I am like this!' You point your bionic finger towards her. The wiring making Natasha gulp. 'and yet you dare barge in here and ask me for anything? After the hell you have put me through? That you are still putting me through!'

'Y/n-'

'15 FUCKING YEARS!' You slam your fist on the table.

It's heard from outside the office, Eric isn't even faced by the outburst. He knows how you can be when you're angry, a little gift from the past. Steve and Bucky however try to take a step towards the office.

'I wouldn't if I were you...' he tells them. 'She doesn't tolerate a lot of things...'

'Best stay out of this son-'

Eric laughs at Steve's remark. 'You think you have any authority here? Just because you think you are stronger? There's a reason me and her are hidden away like this...'

'I'm sorry Y/n-'

'Not good enough! You're a Shit sister you know that? First you leave me to die and now they have Yelena... I should have come to get her... she wouldn't be caught on my watch...' you sigh, leaning against the wall.

'And after I help you, you're gonna walk off like nothing happened.. again... so no...you have to go and save her yourself...'

'She's my sister...'

'So was I... good to know you don't see it that way anymore...so that's really all you came here for... to get my connections and that's it?'

'She has never done anything to you-'

'But you did! You walked away from me! Not the other way around! So don't act like it...'

'You're doing it now...'

'And I should be the better person in this?' The soft wiring again a reminder of that day. 'Fuck that... I needed you and you weren't there.. now you go find out what that feels like...' you push yourself up and open the door to your office. The three men ending their stare down to turn their heads towards you.

'Out. Now.' You snap at Natasha. 'And if I ever see you back here, you better pray I make it quick...' you tell her.

'I'm truly sorry-'

'Save it.. tell Yelena that this is your fault... and don't forget your guard dogs...'

•••

'Was i.. too harsh on her?' You ask Eric a couple hours later.

You couldn't sleep, too pumped up from talking to Natasha again. You know Yelena has nothing to do with that day, she won't even remember it clearly, she was still so young.

You stare at the ceiling. A heavy sigh leaves your lips.

'If you want us to help, then we do, if you don't want to help.. we don't.. you weren't too harsh on Natasha... but you're being harsh towards Yelena...'

'I know...' you sigh. 'It just stings... she left me there while she tries to save Yelena and even reaches out for me to do it... feels like I'm not worth saving to her...' A hiss leaves your mouth as you shoot upright in bed again.

'Baby...' Eric's hand moves to your back as he softly rubs it. 'Stress makes it worse...I'm fine...'

'I don't know what to do...should I be the bigger person? Or should I stick to what I said?' You turn to look at him over your shoulder.

'Yelena is innocent in this... working with Natasha will be confronting.. and it might get ugly but you'll have Yelena... you can be mad at her all you want, trust me if I could.. I would kill her myself... but I've heard the way you speak of Yelena...whatever you decide... I'm here okay?'

'Yeah... yeah okay...'
