Short story - Reunion (Avengers x OC, Black Widow Focused)

Chapter 6

The next day

Sofia woke up. She was still tired, she couldn't sleep much because of the pain. She opened her eyes for a moment, facing the window. Sofia closed her eyes again and turned her head to the next side. She opened her eyes.

"Jesus! Nat!" She got scared when she saw the redhead sitting on the armchair. Her hair was loose and tied at the top. She was wearing black jeans and a green blouse.

"It's nice to see you too." She said with a smile.

"What are you doing here?"

"I brought you breakfast. And I'm here to dress you up."

"Thank you for that, but it's not that bad with me. How long have you been sitting here?"

"I don't know, maybe a half an hour."

"How did you get in? Did I not close the door?"

"You did." She answered calmly but without more explanation.

"Okay, now you are scaring me even more." Sofia laughed. "Shit!" She hissed.

"Hey are you okay?" Nat was worried.

"Yes, yes, I'm good, just some pain, nothing new." Sofia said while holding the left side of her chest. "Oh my god..." she sighed and put her forehead in her hand.

"What's wrong?" Nat sat on the bed next to her.

"Eh, it's just... I feel so lame and weak. You all have just some bruises and I'm lying here with an arm in the cast and I can't get up from the bed by myself! It's frustrating!"

"Oh I know dorogoy, but you are not weak or lame. We didn't fall from the 6th floor." She put her hand on Sofia's shoulder. "It's normal that you broke something. Please, don't be so hard on yourself. You are strong and you will recover soon. You know that."

"Yeah, I hope so. I don't want to be a bother anymore." Sofia said heavily.

"You are not a bother. Stop saying that. It's just a time when you need some extra help, that's all."

"If you say so."

"Now eat please." Nat handed her two sandwiches and a cup of tea.

"This tea is perfect. Amazing. Just how I like it. How did you know that?"

"Let's say I paid some extra attention to you."

"Oh, really?" Sofia asked and raised an eyebrow.

"Is it that surprising?"

"Well, a little, yes. But you just broke into my room so I don't know what to expect."

"First of all, I didn't. Second of all, I think I still may surprise you." Natasha said with a smile. She looked into the crystal blue eyes of her best friend. They worked like a magnet on her and she could not say 'no' to them. Not now.

"Hmm, that's interesting." Sofia said and took a last sip of her tea. "Thank you so much for the food. Now come to the bathroom. Can you take those clothes over there? Yes, them. Oh and help me get up first." Nat grabbed her right arm and placed her left arm on Sofia's back to pull her up. They went to the bathroom.

"How is she?" Wanda asked Nat when she went downstairs.

"She's doing good. Painkillers are working, but she can't sleep well."

"Poor Sofia." Wanda was feeling sorry for her.

"It's just some broken bones, she will be ok."

Nat went to the kitchen to put the dishes into the dishwasher and Wanda walked to the living room. Nat joined her a minute later. They turned on the TV.
