Natasha Romanoff stories

The Candy Chaos

Y/N had always been known for her energy. At just 18, she was the youngest member of the Avengers, full of enthusiasm, eager to learn, and determined to prove herself. But there was something else that made her unique among the team: she had ADHD. On most days, it was manageable with routine and structure, and the older women on the team—Natasha, Wanda, and Maria—made sure to help keep her focused. They cared for her like big sisters, guiding her through the challenges of being part of such a high-profile team. But there was one rule they had laid down very clearly from the start: no candy. Y/N's energy levels were already hard to handle on a normal day, but if she had candy—especially in large amounts—she became an uncontrollable whirlwind of energy. She'd bounce from one task to another without finishing anything, talk at a mile a minute, and be completely unable to sit still. And after that hyperactive phase, she would inevitably crash, leaving her exhausted and drained, barely able to function. 

So, the candy ban had been established early on. Natasha, Wanda, and Maria kept a tight lock on the candy drawer, only giving Y/N sweets in small, controlled doses, if at all. But tonight was different. Natasha, Wanda, and Maria had gone out for the evening, leaving Y/N at home under the watchful eye of Thor, who had promised to keep an eye on her. Y/N had been perfectly behaved all evening—she had cleaned up her room, watched a movie, and even spent some time reading. Thor, feeling that everything was under control, had decided to let his guard down. And that's when things took a turn.

"Thor! Look what I found!" Y/N exclaimed, her voice full of excitement as she held up a large bag of candy from the forbidden drawer in the kitchen. Thor, who had been sitting on the couch watching television, glanced over with a raised eyebrow. "Is that not the candy drawer Natasha keeps locked?" he asked, though his tone was more amused than concerned. "Yep!" Y/N grinned mischievously. "But they forgot to lock it this time. Wanna have some?"Thor chuckled, standing up and walking over to where Y/N had already started sorting through the sweets. "Well, I don't see the harm in a little candy," he said, reaching for a piece of chocolate. "We deserve a treat after a good day, don't we?" Y/N's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Exactly! It's just candy. What's the worst that could happen?"And so, the two of them began raiding the candy drawer. Thor, blissfully unaware of the consequences, indulged in a few pieces while Y/N, with her newfound freedom, tore through the sugary treasure like it was her last day on Earth. Piece after piece disappeared into her mouth—chocolates, gummy bears, licorice twists, and jellybeans. Y/N couldn't stop herself, the sugar rush quickly building as she devoured more and more.By the time they had made a significant dent in the candy supply, Y/N's energy had reached new heights. She was bouncing on her toes, her body practically vibrating with excitement, and her mind was racing a hundred miles an hour. "I feel amazing!" Y/N shouted, running circles around the living room. "This is the best candy ever!"Thor chuckled, his eyes following her as she darted from one end of the room to the other. "You seem to have boundless energy," he observed. "Impressive." But just as Y/N was about to start another lap around the room, the sound of the front door opening caught their attention.Wanda, Natasha, and Maria had returned.

The three women walked in, laughing and chatting, clearly in a good mood after their night out. But as soon as they stepped into the living room, their laughter faded. They took one look at Y/N, who was currently bouncing on the couch, and their faces fell."Oh no," Wanda said, her eyes widening as she glanced at the half-empty candy drawer. "Tell me she didn't."Natasha's sharp eyes narrowed as she spotted the candy wrappers strewn across the floor. "Y/N, what have you done?"Y/N, still buzzing with energy, leaped off the couch and practically tackled Natasha in a hug. "Natasha! You're back! Thor and I had the BEST time. We found the candy drawer and—" She paused to take a rapid breath, her words coming out in a flurry. "—and it was so good, and I had like, I don't even know how much, but it was amazing! Look!"She grabbed a handful of jellybeans and tossed them in the air, catching them in her mouth with a triumphant grin.Maria put her hands on her hips, shaking her head. "Thor, did you know about this?"Thor, looking slightly sheepish, shrugged. "I thought a little candy wouldn't hurt."Natasha sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose as Wanda moved to sit on the couch. "A little candy, sure. But this much? She's going to be impossible to handle."Wanda gave a sympathetic smile, watching as Y/N buzzed around the room like a human hurricane. "Looks like she's already there."And they were right. Y/N's hyperactivity was already in full swing. She darted around the living room, talking a mile a minute about everything and nothing all at once. She flipped through television channels without stopping to watch anything, picked up random objects just to put them down again, and even started singing to herself as she spun in circles."I feel like I could run a marathon!" Y/N exclaimed, bouncing on the balls of her feet. "Or climb a mountain! Or—wait, did you guys hear that? I think there's a squirrel outside! I want to see it!"Maria shot Natasha a knowing look. "You know what happens next."Natasha nodded grimly. "Yeah. The crash."

For the next hour, Y/N was like a tornado, bouncing between the living room, kitchen, and hallways. She couldn't sit still for more than a few seconds, her body filled with restless energy that seemed to have no outlet. The other women watched her with a mix of amusement and concern, knowing that the inevitable crash was looming.At one point, Y/N grabbed a throw pillow from the couch and started spinning in circles, her voice full of excitement. "Look, I'm a helicopter!" she shouted, laughing uncontrollably.Wanda exchanged a glance with Maria, her lips twitching into a smile. "She's going to crash hard, isn't she?"Maria nodded. "Definitely."Just as Natasha was about to suggest that Y/N take a break and sit down, Y/N abruptly stopped spinning, her energy seeming to drain all at once. She wobbled slightly, her legs unsteady as she blinked in confusion."Whoa," Y/N muttered, her voice quieter now. "I... I don't feel so good."She swayed on her feet, and before anyone could react, she collapsed onto the couch, her body completely spent from the sugar rush. Her breathing was shallow, and her face had gone pale as the effects of the candy began to wear off.Natasha was at her side in an instant, gently placing a hand on Y/N's shoulder. "Easy, kiddo," she said softly. "It's okay. You're just crashing after all that sugar."Y/N looked up at Natasha, her eyes glazed with exhaustion. "I'm... I'm so tired," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "I can't even move."Natasha's heart softened as she gently stroked Y/N's hair. "I know. You went a little overboard, didn't you?"Y/N nodded weakly, her eyelids fluttering as she struggled to stay awake. "I didn't mean to... I just wanted a little candy..."Wanda knelt beside the couch, her expression full of sympathy. "You'll be okay, Y/N. Let's get you cleaned up and into bed."

The three women moved quickly, each one taking on a task to help Y/N after her candy-induced crash. Natasha gently lifted Y/N from the couch, cradling her in her arms as if she were a child. Y/N was too exhausted to protest, her body completely limp as she rested her head against Natasha's shoulder."I've got her," Natasha said softly, carrying Y/N toward the bathroom.Wanda and Maria followed, their expressions full of quiet concern. They knew that Y/N's crashes could be tough, and after eating so much candy, this one was particularly hard on her.Once in the bathroom, Natasha set Y/N down on the edge of the tub, keeping a hand on her back to steady her. Y/N's eyes were half-closed, and she swayed slightly, barely able to keep herself upright."We need to get her cleaned up and into her pajamas," Natasha said, her voice calm but gentle. "She'll feel better after that."Wanda nodded, grabbing a washcloth and running it under warm water. She handed it to Natasha, who gently wiped Y/N's face and arms, cleaning off the sticky residue of candy and sweat. Y/N barely reacted, too exhausted to do more than lean into Natasha's touch.Maria, meanwhile, went to Y/N's room to grab a pair of soft pajamas. When she returned, she helped Natasha change Y/N into them, moving carefully to avoid jostling the tired girl too much.Y/N let out a small, content sigh as Natasha pulled the pajama shirt over her head. "I'm sorry," she mumbled, her voice slurred with exhaustion. "I didn't mean to... eat so much candy..."Natasha smiled softly, brushing a hand through Y/N's hair. "It's okay, kiddo. You didn't know when to stop, but we've got you now."Once Y/N was clean and in her pajamas, Wanda reached out to gently lift her onto her feet. "Come on, let's get you to bed."Y/N's legs wobbled as she stood, and Wanda had to support her as they walked toward the bedroom. By the time they reached the bed, Y/N was nearly asleep on her feet.

Natasha carefully tucked Y/N into the large, comfortable bed, pulling the blankets up around her. Y/N snuggled into the soft pillows, her eyes already closing as she drifted closer to sleep.Maria sat on the edge of the bed, smoothing the blankets down. "Do you feel okay now, Y/N?"Y/N nodded weakly, her voice barely more than a whisper. "Yeah... just really tired..."Wanda leaned down, pressing a gentle kiss to Y/N's forehead. "Rest now. We'll stay with you."Natasha, Wanda, and Maria stayed by Y/N's side, watching over her as she fell into a deep, peaceful sleep. The crash had been rough, but they were there to catch her when she fell, just like they always would be.As Y/N's breathing evened out, Natasha leaned back, watching the peaceful expression on the young girl's face. "She's going to feel that tomorrow," she said softly.Wanda smiled, sitting beside Natasha. "But at least she's resting now."Maria chuckled quietly. "No more candy for a while, though."The three women stayed in the room for a while longer, their presence a silent reassurance that Y/N wasn't alone. Eventually, they settled into their own spots in the bed, making sure to stay close to Y/N in case she needed them during the night.And as the quiet of the evening settled in, the soft sound of Y/N's breathing filled the room—a reminder of how much they cared for the youngest member of their team.
