The Ex Widow & The New Avenger

4~Mission Pt.1

{No One's Pov}

Ember had settled in nicely, she now knew how to handle most of the boys' arrogant behaviour and her and Wanda seemed to be close. Natasha kept her distance after she realised how close she was getting. She didn't need that. But did she want it?

Natasha was currently sitting in the meeting room with the rest of her team. Ross, the Secretary of State,  was talking them through the mission. And he could not be more adamant about not causing any major damage. Although whilst saying that he kept on insisting on Wanda and Ember to be there, not a care for how destructive their powers are.

"Ross, you're asking for damage you don't want with Wanda and I there." Ember stated. Natasha smiled as she looked at Ember, who was saying what they all knew. "And I won't be taking the blame that you will put on us for it."

"Miss Ember..." Ross started, still as serious as before but the whole team could tell he was slightly shocked by her interference.

Tony interrupted, catching everyone's attention. "Come on, Ross, she's saying what we're all thinking."

"I can confirm that." Wanda spoke up now too, actually looking at Ross now.

"So I'll just excuse myself..." Ember smiled as she stood from her chair. She smiled as she looked at Wanda. "Care to join?"

Natasha smiled at the brunettes who started to leave, causing Ross to change his mind. He had now just told the team to do whatever they needed to as long as they got the job done. The whole team smiled and nodded their goodbyes to the man as they all left the room.

"Pretty badass of you to interrupt Ross like that." Tony lightly chuckled as he put an arm around Ember's shoulder as they walked down the hall to the .

Ember was quick to get his arm off her as she spoke. "I guess I'm not scared of the Secretary of State like you are."

That sentence was quick to make everyone laugh except Tony. Before Tony could even defend himself everyone had started to branch off into their rooms.

"Oh yea, I was so scared." Tony mumbled to himself as he entered his room, rolling his eyes.

A few minutes go pass, Nat had just got into her suit before she started to gather all her weapons. She turned her head to the door as someone knocked.

"Clint, I don't have your arrows." Natasha said as she opened the door.

Ember laughed lightly before she replied, "It's a good thing I'm not Clint."

Natasha gave the woman at the door a small smile as she spoke. "I guess it is." Natasha stepped away from her door, going back to her weapon bag as she continued to speak. "What's up, Phoenix?"

"I have a name, you know?" Ember smiled as she stood up from leaning against the doorframe.

Nat laughed lightly as she looked back to the woman, "Phoenix suits you. I ask again, what's up?"

"I need a suit. I was hoping you had a spare." Ember answered as she stepped into the room, watching Natasha attach her guns to her suit.

Nat sighed as she stood up. She didn't mind sharing, her and Ember were the same height and had the same physique, she just knew Tony would take his sweet time in designing Embers own suit.

"Here." Natasha smiled as she threw the spare at the other woman.

Ember caught it perfectly before she smiled, leaving as she spoke. "Thanks, Nat. See you on the ship."

*Time Skip*

Everyone started to pile into the jet, one by one, finding their seats. Tony and Clint immediately headed to the front like they did every time.

Soon enough, everyone was gathered on the ship. Nat tried to hide her smile when Ember took the seat next to her before anyone else did.

Natasha placed her bag under her seat as the men started the engine and they were soon off.

Steve recapped the mission brief to everyone before they could go back to whatever they were doing to pass the time.

Natasha continued her reading as she got comfortable. She knew how long this flight was going to take and she wasn't interested in talking to everyone, like Thor was. Well, almost everyone.

"What are you reading?" Ember asked suddenly, turning her phone off as she leaned on the ginger's shoulder, reading over her shoulder.

"Got bored of your phone, phoenix?" Natasha asked as she set her book down.

Ember moved off of Natasha's shoulder. "I was interested in a conversation, actually."

Nat looked at the woman next to her for a moment, analysing her in a way. "What's wrong?" Natasha suddenly asked.

Ember was taken by surprise for a moment before she sighed. "How did you know?"

"I'm one of the world's best trained spies. You can't hide much from me." Natasha answered honestly before she waited for Ember's answer.

"First mission nerves," Ember answered but again, Natasha saw straight through it.

Natasha completely turned herself to the brunette. "There's more."

Ember sighed as she looked away from the ginger slightly. "This is the first time I'm showing my powers to the world..."

"And you're nervous of what they might think?" Natasha asked, wanting to know exactly how Ember was feeling before she could help.

"I guess, yeah." Ember shrugged, still not looking at the spy with her.

Natasha smiled as she got Ember to face her. "Who really cares what they think, Ember? Look at you, you have literal fire running through your blood."

"I'm not sure that's actually true..." Ember smiles lightly as Natasha continues.

"Okay, maybe not, but they can think what they want. You're a part of our team. We've got you. I've got you. They can't affect you.." Natasha smiles as she grabs the brunette's hand.

Wanda walks over, sitting a few seats down from Ember as she speaks. "You can't control their fears, only your own."

"See." Natasha smiles as she looks from Wanda to Ember. "You've got this."

"Thank you." Ember gave the woman next to her a small smile as she continued to hold Natasha's hand.

"Anytime." Natasha replied as the jet landed. "Ready?" She asked Ember.

"Ready." Ember nodded as she took a big breath in, both women leaving the jet together before they now focused on the action.
