You went to your shared room with Natasha after training to check up on her. She was feeling too sick to attend training but made it very clear that you were not allowed to miss it because of her. You were worried about her, but at the same time glad your girlfriend chose to take care of herself instead of being stubborn.

Knocking softly on the door before entering, you find Natasha sound asleep in the bed. You decide you'll shower and get changed first, before joining her in the bed. Once you're back from the bathroom, Natasha stirs awake. You quickly walk over to the bed and lay by her side. Natasha grunts and says, "No cuddles. You can't come near me, I'm sick." But you only move closer, "I don't care that you're sick. In fact, you need to be cuddled now, more than ever." She gives in and lays her head down on your chest, quickly falling back asleep while you run your fingers through her hair.

A couple hours later you have to wake her up because you have a mandatory meeting, she said she wanted to join the meeting. Since you knew you couldn't talk her out of going, you helped her up. Once you entered the meeting room, Natasha falls on the ground. You and Bruce are immediately by her side.

They ended up taking her to the hospital, since the med bay was still too damaged after an unfortunate explosion inside the building. You and a few members of the team have been in the waiting room for about two hours. Next to Natasha's door stands an armed guard, appointed by Tony to make sure no outsides would come near Natasha. In the room there's another one keeping watch in case someone would think of coming in through the window. Not that anyone was after them currently, but hospitals weren't somewhere the team was often found at. Surely they got hurt often, but always had their own doctors in the med bay.

A nurse walks out of Natasha's room, towards the waiting room. She informs you that Natasha was awake again, but that they wanted to keep her there for the night, something about still needing to be on fluids and needing a couple more tests. You were already on your way to the door when you hear your girlfriend was awake. The first guard hold out his arm, "I'm sorry, you cannot enter yet." You lie and tell him that the nurse gave you permission, he lowered his arm and let you through. Once he closed the door behind you, you rushed to her side.

The guard in the room ran to your side, reaching out his arm to pull you away from Natasha. He stops in his tracks when he hears Natasha say, "Touch her and you're dead." He slowly backs off with his hands up, going back to his position by the door.

You sit down next to her on the bed, she scoots over so you can share the bed. Putting your arm around her so she can rest against your chest. "Hey babe, how are you feeling?" You ask while placing a soft kiss on her forehead. "A lot better than this morning, but the nurse said I had to stay the night. Will you stay with me, please?" You reassure her that you will. Soon after she falls asleep in your arms. Grabbing your phone you send Tony a quick text, saying that you'll be staying the night and that you'll keep them updated over text.

Putting your phone away you reach for the blanked at the end of the bed and place it over both you and Natasha. You give her another kiss on her forehead and hold her close, until you fell asleep as well.
