Can you let me in?

Chp 39

Natasha can feel eyes on her as she watches patiently from an alley. You see, when everyone came back so did old enemies. Natasha had been tracking the old red room trainers who had returned from the snap, needing to finish what she had started all those years ago. She hadn't been able to tell Wanda the full truth about it yet, there is no way she can fully understand it anyways.

The sound of the door opening drew her attention back to the task at hand, ignoring the eyes on her that she assumes is Clint.

Out of the door walked a middle aged man with two guards. The guards did a quick peek down the alley to clear it, Natasha leaned further into the wall to stay hidden. After a swift nod from one of the guards the three men walked up the alley.

Quietly Natasha walked behind them picking up speed to catch up to them. As she reached for her sword preparing to kill a random car horn honked from the street behind her causing all three men to look back. One quickly kicked the sword out of her hands and pinned her wrists to the wall of the building. Natasha instantly starts weighing her options before she could fight an arrow hitting the ground next to her targets causing all three men to scurry off as red mist lifts Natasha up the building. Natasha immediately cringed knowing she had been caught.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING" Natasha hears Wanda's voice before the mist sets her down and she is face to face with Wanda and Clint.

"I.." Natasha starts before getting cut off by Wanda.

"WHAT NOW YOU JUST GO AROUND KILLING PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT DRESSED LIKE.. LIKE A NINJA?!" Wanda says as she takes off Natasha hood looking her over for any injuries.

"Wanda it's not like that.." Natasha tries to start again looking down at her hands embarrassed.

"It's not like that? Ha okay sure then tell me what it's like Nat?" Wanda says, waiting for her to say anything.

"I just.. I" Natasha struggles to find the words looking at Clint for help feeling helpless.

"Nats just been dealing with.." Clint starts but stops when Wanda glares at him.

"No, I'm not asking you Clint. And don't think you are off the hook either for not telling me fully what is going on with the women I love." Wanda says feeling herself blush.

Wanda turns to Natasha kneeling in front of her pulling her into her arms and resting her forehead against the older woman. "I do still love you." Wanda whispers before pulling back and looking Natasha straight in the eyes. "But I cannot have you going around killing people, I will not allow that in our house. I cannot risk losing you. I'm going to go home to our girls and when you are ready I want you to come home ready to talk." Wanda quickly placed a small peck on her lips and stood.

Wanda looked over at Clint. "I'm trusting you." She whispers before quickly flying off the rooftop.

Natasha and Clint watch as the mist around them fades. Clint goes and sits across from Nat, who is refusing to look at him. "Well I think that went well." Clint says smirking.

After a few minutes of silence Clint looks over to Natasha. "I know it's hard to stop, your purpose for the last five years was for them. But now they are back Nat. They are back and they need you. They need you more than ever before."

"Everything I did for them is gone. All the threats I got rid of well now they are back, the world is less safe and, and they are here.. the people I love are in a less safe world than the one I had helped create safe. I... I failed them." Natasha says letting tears run down her cheeks.

Clint went to stand causing Natasha to curl into a ball. "No please, I'll be good. I swear I'll be good." Natasha says curling herself into a ball.

"Nat, nat it's me. It's Clint. You're safe." Clint says. "You didn't fail them Nat. You never could. You could never fail any of us. You're safe, we are safe."
