Romanogers: A Cinderella Story

Chapter Seven:

It was a mascaraed party, so everyone wore their masks, and walked into the school gym. The whole place was decorated, with streamers hanging, and balloons everywhere.
"Guys.. I'm gonna go take pics with the debate team!" Sharon said, as she walked over to their table. Natasha spotted Steve, sitting next to Sam and Bucky. She couldn't talk to them, or they will know I betrayed Danielle. Natasha sat down, wearing her mask, until Steve came over to her table.
"Hi.." he said, "May I have this dance?" Natasha looked at him weirdly, but then she remembered. He couldn't see her face, she was wearing a mask.
"Sure.." Natasha said, getting up from her chair. The two walked out to the dance floor, hand in hand. They started swaying, looking into each other's eyes.
"Do I know you from somewhere?" Steve asked, looking deeply.
"No.. I don't think so.." Natasha answered back, smirking.
"Your name?" Steve asked.
"Hmm.. I don't know if I should tell you," Natasha said, with a laugh.
"Okay.. I guess were not at that stage yet.." Steve said, smiling. He was wearing a black collared shirt, which matched Natasha perfectly. They continued swaying all night, until the clock struck 12:00.
"Shit.." Natasha said, as she hurried out of the dance.
"Wait!" Steve said, running after her. Steve looked down to see she had dropped one of her spider earrings.

Natasha hurried home. She couldn't get in trouble with Danielle.. that would mean certain death. She hurried home, her heels in one hand, and her purse in another. She had finally reached, and snuck into the window, putting on her pajamas.
A few minutes later, Danielle walked into Natasha's room to see a "sleeping" girl, dressed in her pajamas.. hair all messy. Danielle closed the door. Natasha gave a sigh of relief.
"It was worth it.." Natasha muttered.

Court day. Fury will be proven innocent in court, and she could finally leave this place. She felt bad leaving Steve with Danielle, but she had to get away from Danielle. Her door swung open, and out came Loki.
"Sup, hot sauce," he said with a smile, "Danielle is going to drop you off at court or whatever.
"Kay.." Natasha said, getting up. Loki grabbed her arm, before she could leave the room.
"If Fury is innocent, will you go home with him?" Loki asked, his expression worried.
"Yeah.." Natasha said, smirking.
"He's bad. Don't go to him," Loki said.
"He's good.. he's innocent," Natasha said.
"You can't leave us here.." Loki said, stern.
"Why not? What have so ever done that is sooo important?" Natasha asked.
"You are the like the sister I never had.. As your brother, I need to protect you.. not let you go there.. with a murderer." Loki said, his arms crossed against his chest. Natasha snapped. She couldn't take it anymore.
"Murderer?! Your mother is the murderer!" Natasha yelled.
"Stop telling lies, Nat!" Loki yelled.
"Ugh.. come with me," Natasha said, pulling Loki to Danielle's closet. She opened the closet, but there was no body in sight.
"What? There is nothing in here.." Loki said, confused.
"It was right there.. Steve knows. He will tell you," Natasha said, heading to Steve's room. Loki followed her, confused. The two walked into Steve's room.
"Steve, tell him about Danielle.." Natasha said, her arms crossed.
"Huh?" Steve asked, looking up from his computer.
"Remember.. the body," Natasha said, gesturing towards Danielle's closet.
"Oh," Steve said, "Um.. Nat, I'm busy.. I'm trying to find the girl I met at the party, last night.. and, plus, you haven't given me proof that Danielle is a murderer.. She's my mom, I believe her."
"Ugh!" Natasha said, stomping to her room in anger.
"No one believes me.." Natasha muttered, getting ready for court.

They arrived at the courthouse, and walked in. Fury was sitting down next to his lawyer, smiling at her. Natasha smiled back, she hadn't seen him for so long. She took a seat.. and the court began.
