STEVE'S POV
I haven't been spending much time with the avengers lately, fury has been giving me a lot of missions, but I'm looking forward to a week without any.
Suddenly someone began knocking on my door.
I opened it to reveal Natasha she was bleeding a lot, I had heard she was going on a mission but I didn't realise it would be this dangerous.
"Help me." She cried, I picked her up and carried he into my clean bedroom.
"What happened?" I ask.
"Fury sent me on a mission."she started to cough, so I grabbed her a glass of water "It was meant to be easy but he was there, the man who trained me, I couldn't move, he attacked me , and I couldn't do anything." She began to cry again.
"H... He put me in the same room that I stayed in when I was training, I escaped when one of his guards accidentally stood too close to the door, but the guard was my friend. I had to kill him!" She cried.
"Hey it's okay" I said pulling her into her hug, her breathing started to slow.
After a while I let go and grabbed my first aid box, grabbing a bandage I wrapped it around her cut arm and then wrapped another tightly around a deep cut in her waist.
"Can I stay here tonight?" Nat asked. I nodded in reply and left the room to fetch her a shirt.
NATASHA'S POV
I don't know if I could be alone right now.
Steve came back into the room with a shirt in his hand,
"It's a bit big but it should be alright." He said handing it to me. " would you like anything?" He asked but I just shook my head.
Steve walked out the room leaving me alone. I put the shirt over my head and it went down to my thighs.

STEVE'S POV
I wake up to the sound of Natasha screaming. I get up from the couch and run into my room, Natasha is still asleep so I shake her awake, this reminds me of the first time we met, except it was her waking me up.
Natasha sits up quickly tears pouring down her cheeks.
"Do you want to talk about it? It helps." I ask. Natasha shakes her head before repeating a phrase over and over again-
"I do not love"
I grab hold of her shoulders and stare into her emerald green eyes. She immediately snaps out of her dream and hugs me.
"Don't leave me alone Steve, please!"she cries
"I won't" I reply and I mean it.
We break apart and we stare into each other's eyes we move closer together and our lips meet.
We break away and she looks worried for a moment before I say
"I will never leave you."
I lay down next to Natasha and she lays her head on my chest, her eyes close as she falls into a peaceful sleep.
