Post Civil War. The avengers are broken up, Tony's alone with his own problems when Natasha returns. Facing her demons and trying to come to terms with her role in the Avengers internal fight, Natasha comes to rely on Tony to help keep her memories...
Sorry it's been a while. I've been quite busy since summer started. Well here the next piece in the story. Also for sneak peeks and to give possible prompts follow my Instagram @lostintheavengerstardis and Tumblr @average-coffee-addict21
It's early morning at SHIELD and most of the recruits are off doing drills or work. Tony and Natasha are lying in bed talking and playing.
"I'm the baddest werewolf." "Ha. You're a giant teddy bear" "But, I'm your teddy bear. And a badass one at that."
"I'm the baddest assassin." "Former assassin you mean. You're an avenger now."
"Well was an avenger. I'm a traitor now remember?", Natasha says solemnly.
"Hey you came back. That's what matters.", Tony remarks. Hopping up out of the bed and bouncing on the balls of his feet he asks,"Now do you want pancakes or waffles?"
"Waffles. Ooh and some strawberry ice cream with whip cream."
"Well. I see the craving kicked in." "They kicked in while you were pretend dead. As did the morning sickness."
"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. I would've been if circumstances allowed."
"I know, but you're here now. That's all I kept asking. For you to come back."
"I'll always come back."
It's quiet for a few minutes while he cooks before she speaks.
"Don't make promises you can't keep."
"I'll always-"
"That's not something you can keep. Steve, Clint, Bucky, hell even Banner could come and kill you."
"They might be able to, but I'm a supernatural being not a human male. I'm stronger than them and more resilient. They would have to fight to their deaths for me to give up."
He cooks her waffle while she sits on the kitchen island next to him. Grabbing her phone and turning on the Bluetooth speaker she searches through her podcasts and puts on Welcome to Night Vale. As it plays, Tony cooks her breakfast humming under his breath. As he cooks he notices Natasha scooting closer to him but appears like he doesn't notice. When she's close enough she traps his thigh with her legs and bring him over to her. Putting down the spatula he looks at her and grins. Reaching under her shirt he unclasps her bra with one hand while turning off the stove with the other. Grabbing her thigh, he kisses her.

A few minutes go by with neither moving from the island. ~~~<<<~~~>>>~~~<<<~~~>>>~ Running down the hall May races to get to Tony's room. Slamming in the door she looks over at the kitchen and sees them making out on the island. "Tasha!!! Tony!!!" Jumping apart they look over at May. Tony moves to cover up Natasha nearly naked chest. "You two need to get dressed and come with me." "Why?" "You need to see this. Both of you. You're in danger." After hearing you're in danger Tony's mind starts racing. Grabbing Natasha he scrambles up to the room where he grabs a pair of jeans and a t shirt. Stuffing his feet into his boots he waits for Tasha. Tasha races to her closet and grabs lounge pants and Tony's hoodie stuffing her feet into her converse. Rushing downstairs she meets with May and Tony. As the trio walks down the hall, they hear whispers from the newer recruits. Rounding a corner the approach a locked door. After scanning their IDs they are allowed access to SHIELDs HQ room. There Fury is talking to Phil. As they walk in the room gets quiet and everyone looks at them. Natasha grips tighter to Tony's hand in fear. May leads to Fury and Phil who take them to a closed off sector. Locking the entrance, he turns and looks at them. "James Buchanan Barnes turned himself in. Stark, he wants to talk to you.", Fury states.
"No. Every time I look at him I want to shift and tear him apart starting with his left arm.", Tony states; his feral side close to the surface and itching to be released.
Natasha sees Tony's turmoil reaches up and runs her fingers over the back of his neck instantly calming him.
"You could see why he turned himself in and possibly get information about Rogers and the rest of them location.", Fury states, unrattled by Tony's aggression.
Finally relenting Tony asks where he's located. "Barnes is in Sector C block F cell 3. The password is Czar. That's the isolation block.", Phil tells him.
As Tony walks off Natasha follows him. Getting closer to block F he stops. "Are you sure you want to see also? You could stay here." "No.", she states,"I'm coming. I can handle it." As they enter block F he finds cell 3. Punching in the password, they enter the cell. Sitting in a corner of the room is Barnes.

"Hello Mr. Stark. Natasha." "Shut up.", Tony remarks. "Why are you here. Are you attempting to kill me or her cause I'll kill you before you can even move from that spot you're sitting."
"I mean you no harm. I swear on my mother grave."
Natasha speaks up. "You said the same thing to me before you hurt me. I was innocent until you.
"Then talk why are you here?"
"I didn't know what Steve was planning until a few days ago. He's closing in possible locations SHIELD is at. I let my self be captured to warn you. He plans on striking soon. He wants to kill you both. I didn't know that she was pregnant. They just said that she fucked the mongrel and was cursed another to become a feral killer. Had I known this I would've left earlier. I'm not a threat to you. I was at one point and I admit that but now I'm not and I don't want to be."
"When are they coming?"
"I don't know the exact date just that they plan on attacking sometime this month and they recruited others. The spider boy and Wakandan warriors. They also have the witch."
"What about that Sam dude? What happened to him?"
"I don't know. After we got to Wakanda he stayed 2 days then he left, and we haven't seen him since."
As Tony gets up and exits the cage he turns back to Barnes once again.
"I don't know if I can trust you, but if what you are saying is true, the it's time I call my reinforcements. It's time to declare war."
Leaving the cell, Natasha looks up at Tony whose jaw is locked in a way that's makes her insides twist and clench. Feeling sick she runs to the woman's bathroom and throws up. Tony follows her inside and stays with her through the dry heaves and anxiety riddling her body.
Washing her hands and rinsing her mouth in the sink she doesn't miss the way his eyes darken with rage. Sliding close to him they make their way back to HQ.
Entering SHIELD HQ again they are greeted by May who ushers them over to a table. On the table are pictures from a building. Sliding the pictures close to them they look through. On one photo they see Rogers, Clint, Barnes, and Banner with four figures near the edge and their back facing the camera. Two look to be males and the other two female. Looking at the next photo both Tony and Natasha feel sick. The men and the women, they both know them. Tony, paling slightly looks over at Natasha.
It's Levi, Colonel Rhodes, Claire and Pepper. They're working with Steve.
