S.H.I.E.L.D School for the Enhanced (Teenage MCU AU)

Chapter Three: Black Widow vs The Cavalry

Natasha's POV

I was a replacement?! No way! No fucking way! For her?! That's even worse! She doesn't even look intimidating. I walked up to the 'Cavalry' and stomped my hands on her table, making sure to get her attention. She looked up to me. "You're the Cavalry?" I angrily asked her and she looked down. Seriously? I'm her replacement?! "I asked you a question!" I raised my voice 'cause she was really pissing me off. I could feel somebody putting their hands on me, trying to restrain me from taking action.

"Nat, not here not now. We gotta go," It was Maria. I forcefully took back my hand and looked at the 'Cavalry'. "Nat, everybody's looking!" She whispered louder in my ear. Honestly Maria was like a bug buzzing around my ear right now. 

"FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" Everybody started chanting. Looks like they wanna see how this goes down as much as I do. The chanting grew louder and louder and didn't stop. I gestured for the 'Cavalry' to fight me. She stood up and looked at me straight in the eyes.

"Nat, it's not worth it! Please stop!" Bobbi came up to me on my other side.

"May, stop!" Coulson walked up to her and restrained her. Sort of. She wasn't even balling up her fists. Does she underestimate me that much? Wait a minute, 'May'? The same 'May' that Fury mentioned this morning? The one Coulson does 'check-ups' on? This is her?

"It's okay, Phil. It's not worth it," she said.

"Wha..." I couldn't bring out the words. I'm not worth it?! She grabbed her lunch plate and walked off. I tried going after her but the combined efforts of Bobbi, Maria and Sharon,who I totally didn't know was behind me, kept me in one place. Everybody in the cafeteria started booing.

"You need to calm down, Romanoff! You don't go around starting fights with everybody just 'cause you can! It's not what a S.H.I.E.L.D agent is about!" Oh my God. He's right. What came over me? The look on Phil's face. He looked very angry. It's the first time I've ever seen him angry, and at me. How could I let my insecurities take over like that?

"It's okay guys," I calmed myself down and they let me go.

"What's going on here?" Mr Sitwell said as he walked into the cafeteria. I knew I screwed up but hopefully no one says anything.

"BLACK WIDOW WAS GONNA START A FIGHT WITH THE CAVALRY!" someone from the back screamed. They better be glad I didn't see them 'cause if I did, I would break them in half. I was so busy looking at the back of who it could be that I didn't realize Mr Sitwell standing in front of me. Surprised the heck outta me.

"Is this true, Natasha?" I nodded like a guilty child caught shoplifting. I felt bad for interrupting May's lunch. "You're gonna need to come with me to the Principal's office. You too, Ms Hill. You witnessed what happened here, didn't you?" He asked Maria.

"I did sir," she answered him.

"Good then, both of you, with me. The rest of you, CONTINUE WITH YOUR DAY!" He shouted so that everyone in the cafeteria can hear him. Me and Maria followed him all the way to the Principal's office. I can't help but think I got Maria in trouble. If she's loses student leadership, she might never forgive me. A tear started rolling down my eye. We made it to Fury's office and Sitwell went in with Maria while I waited outside the office. I looked up and saw Sharon and Bobbi coming towards me.

"How are things at the cafeteria?" I sadly asked them.

"Everybody had high hopes for a fight and..."

"It's a lot of blah-blah, especially from Tony Stark," Sharon interrupted Bobbi. It's the last part that concerns me though. Argh. I can just imagine Stark's smug face right now. He'll never let me hear the end of it. "Where's Maria?" I pointed to Fury's office door and they quickly got what I meant. "Don't worry, Nat,"
