Casualties of War (MCU X Michael)

Healing

Michael is seen rubbing Natasha's back with a cream to help her heal. It has been two days since Michael brought Natasha into his New York home after he rescued/kidnapped her-in Natasha's teasing manner- from government agents and Michael was steadily helping her heal while also hiding the fact he has a wanted Rogue Avengers in his home.

Natasha has been relatively quiet as she let Michael help her heal. Ever since he brought her to his home, he made sure she's welcomed and not be treated as a criminal, despite the media and UN labeling her as such. During this, she learns a lot of Michael and sees why people love him.

His Heart was made from Gold.

Michael: There. Anywhere else, Nat?

Nat: No. I'm fine. Thank you.

Michael: Good. No problem.

Michael then helps her lean against a chair before taking the cream away. He then washes his hands and joins her.

Michael: Need something to eat? I got some ingredients to make-

Natasha: No. I'm fine. Maybe later.

Michael: Okay.

Michael sat down as he turns on the TV.

Michael: Want to watch a film? It's your turn to choose.

Natasha stayed silent as Michael looks at her.

Michael: Something's wrong, Nat?

Natasha: ...I was remembering that I left some equipment at an apartment I was staying. There's some communication system that allows me to contact the others and my suit and weapons.

Michael: Oh. Crap. It must be under those agents hands now.

Natasha: Not really. They're in a box with a code that would have them struggle to open. Though, they could open it by force.

Michael: True. But you can't get it right now.

Natasha: I know. I could risk hurting myself and get captured. Especially...getting you caught up in that mess.

Michael nods as he thinks of it for a while. Soon, he gets a dumb idea.

Michael: How about I go fetch it for you?

Natasha: What? Michael, that's stupid. You'll get yourself arrested.

Michael: I know. But, I've been doing some sneaking around myself for a couple years. So I have some experience.

Natasha: Hiding the fact you wrestled behind the world's back is and trying break in an apartment with armed agents is not the same thing.

Michael: Well...yeah. But, what choice do we have? We can't risk them getting your stuff and opening it to potentially capture the others. I know that you're hesitant for me doing this. But, as I promised you, I'll help in any way I can. You can trust me on that.

Natasha looks at his eyes that are filled with determination. She then sighs as she lays on the sofa.

Natasha: I'll give you the location of the apartment. Just watch out for any agents in the area.

Michael: Right.

Natasha: And don't screw this up, Michael. This is insanely risky, you know.

Michael: I know. So...show time.

*later*

Michael exists his car after parking it in a location no one could see. He walks on as he reaches the apartment Nat told him. But when he got there, he sees some agents entering and existing the room Nat was residing in temporarily.
