There had been an assault on the Avengers. Preset bombs had been placed throughout the base and detonated at the same time. The few that made it out of the building were killed on sight or treated to a battle where they were severely outnumbered and outgunned. The surviving Avengers had entered the conflict, but Natasha and Y/N had found a safe place to hunker down for the time being.
"Y/N we can't go in there. We won't make it." Natasha's hand was gripping Y/N's forearm. Y/N ripped their arm away.
"If we don't go in there, they won't make it. Can't you see that?" They yelled. Fire exploded from a building behind them. Stark tower. Up in flames. A battle was ensuing in the streets below it, only a few hundred feet from where Natasha and Y/N were hunkered down behind a car. Y/N's hands burned with unused kinetic energy pulsing under their skin. They had to help.
"Y/N, please." Natasha turned Y/N's head towards herself and brushed the hair out of Y/N's eyes. "I can't lose you too."
"Coward. That's all you are. A coward." Y/N pushed away from Natasha, running into the fray, immediately showing their expertise. But even that was not enough to shield them from the explosion that shredded Natasha's hope of ever seeing them again.
