Romanogers: A Cinderella Story

Chapter Four:

"Natasha! Come for dinner!" Danielle yelled. Natasha walked downstairs, to see four people sitting at the table, looking at her. She saw Loki, Danielle, and two other faces she hasn't seen. One of them, had pale blue eyes, and brown hair up to his shoulders. The other, Steve, had blonde hair, and piercing blue eyes. She sat down next to Steve, picking at her food.
"So.. where are you from?" Steve asked, picking at his food as well.
"Russia.." Natasha said, as she managed to eat some of her mashed potatoes.
"Oh.. cool," Steve said, staring into her eyes.
"Your.. Steve, right?" Natasha said, looking up at him.
"Yeah.. short for Steven," he said, eating his food.
"So.. Natasha.. where do you plan on going for school?" Danielle asked, her face strict.
"Wherever is closest.." Natasha answered, scratching the back of her neck. Danielle nodded.
"Then you will be attending SHEILD High with Loki, Steve, and Bucky?" Danielle asked.
"Sure.." Natasha said. Danielle continued eating her food. Natasha stared down at the table at Bucky. He had not spoken to her yet...
"Probably shy.." Natasha muttered, under her breath.
Natasha then, left the table, heading up to her room. She lay down in her bed, thinking of Fury. Did he SERIOUSLY murder the mayor?
"No.. he wouldn't," Natasha murmured, hugging her pillow, "He can't."

Natasha waited until everyone was asleep to leave the house. She had a fight, and she couldn't miss it. Natasha was about to sneak out the window, when her door swung open, causing her to fall on the floor with a loud thump.
"Shit.." Natasha muttered, as she got up. She looked in the doorway, to see Steve leaning on the wall, his arms crossed against his chest.
"Going somewhere?" He asked, sitting on her bed.
"I.. I was just.." her voice trailed off.
"Just tell me," he said, looking into her emerald eyes.
"I have to go to a fight.. to raise money," Natasha said, her hands in her pockets.
"What's the money for?" Steve asked.
"Clothes.. Shoes.. Stuff.." Natasha said.
"You can just ask mom," he said, looking up at her.
"I don't want to ask Danielle.. I don't want to cause too much trouble.." Natasha said.
"I get it.. I won't tell on you, unless you let me come with you," Steve said, a grin planted on his face.
"Your kidding.." Natasha said, crossing her arms.
"I'm not.." Steve said, "Let's go." Natasha gave out a light laugh, and jumped out the window, helping Steve behind her. The two took their bikes, which were parked outside their garage, and rode to the arena.
"Damn, it's far from here.." Steve said, panting.
"Just a few more minutes, Rogers," Natasha said, hardly out of breath.
The two finally arrived, and Steve looked around at the arena. It was a mess. People were throwing each other around, trash on the floor, and there was broken wood everywhere.
"Okay, you can take a seat.. while I fight," Natasha said, putting her gloves on.
"You're gonna go up against her?" Steve said, gaping at the burly woman who stood in the middle of the arena.
"Yeah.." Natasha said, walking into the arena. Steve swallowed the huge lump in his throat.
"And... GO!" The referee said, stepping out of the way. The woman charged at Natasha, but Nat stepped out of the way, causing the woman to hit her head against the metal bar. She was dizzy, put threw a hard punch at Natasha. Natasha grabbed her punch, twisted, and dislocated a bone. The woman yelped in pain, only to get punched in the face. Although the woman, or "BoldEye" (which was what they called her) was in pain, she kept throwing punches, until Natasha got hit with one, causing her to slam her back on the hard floor. Steve stood up, worried. BoldEye pulled her hair forward, and took one hand to grab her neck. Natasha's face turned purple, as she struggled to get out of the woman's grip. Natasha was done for, until an anonymous hand punched BoldEye in the face, causing her to lose her grip on Natasha. Nat looked up, to see Steve. She smiled. BoldEye charged at Steve. Steve, having no defense, got hit with charge, and went flying into the metal bar, blood dripping. Natasha wrapped her legs around BoldEye, and lead her to the metal bar, constantly pulling the woman's head into the metal bar. BoldEye couldn't take anymore. She threw her arms up in surrender, and laid down on the floor, tired. Steve, still lying on the floor, grinned. Natasha ran to his side.
"You good?" She asked, her hands pulling him up.
"Yeah.." he answered back, struggling to get up.
"We should get back home.." Natasha answered, helping him up. Steve nodded, and leaned on Natasha. The two rode back home, safe and sound.
