"If Tony ever asks me to ever check out an abandoned HYDRA base again, remind me to decline." You moaned in pain.

A soft chuckle escaped Natasha's lips. Her gaze was intently focused on the cut on your arm that she was trying to stitch up.

You watched her, your eyes scanning every inch of her face. You watched the way her eyebrows furrowed when she was trying to concentrate, the way her plump pink lips pouted as she focused her breathing to make sure she didn't mess up.

"You're staring." She mumbled, not taking her eyes of the cut. You coughed awkwardly, turning to look elsewhere.

"You're observant." You commented, turning back to face her.

"It's sort of my job." She spoke, sparing a brief glance to look up at you, before quickly turning back to the cut on your arm.

"True." You replied before deciding to shut up and let her got on with it.

The minutes passed slowly as you tried to occupy your mind. The clock on the wall of the run down apartment seemed to tick louder and louder with each second that passed by.

"There, all done." She announced as she finished wrapping and securing the bandage around your arm.

"Thanks, Nat." You smiled appreciatively. You held your arm out, inspecting her work. She smiled in response, packing the first aid equipment back into its box.

"Next time Tony wants an abandoned HYDRA base inspected he can do it himself." She spoke up, emphasising on the word 'abandoned'.

"Yeah, it didn't seem that abandoned to me." You laughed, pointing at the arm she had just stitched up. You had been stabbed by a HYDRA agent.

You were originally supposed to scope it out, check if they had left behind any clues, prisoners, anything that might lead to taking them down completely but when inspecting the armoury, you were jumped by around ten or twenty agents.

"Well," she coughed, breaking the silence, "we should probably get some sleep before pick-up tomorrow morning." She announced.

"Yeah, you're probably right." You agreed.

You changed out of your bloody clothes before hopping into the uncomfortable cheap hotel bed. Pulling the thin blanket that was covered in holes over your body, you slowly began to fall asleep.

"So did anything happen?" Wanda asked, jumping onto your bed. You laughed at her instant need to know about your trip with Nat.

"Shut up, you sound like a gossiping little school girl. We're adults, nothing happened and it most likely never will." You sighed, beginning to unpack your tiny suitcase of belongings.

"Stop being such a downer, I'm positive she likes you." She reassured. You turned to look at her briefly, her head was hanging off the edge of the bed as she happily chewed on some gummy worms.
