Just after they ate their shawarma the team left to The Stark Tower
"So guys, you can crash here for a while, we have to wait Fury to contact us so till there the only thing we can do is wait, we have more 2 rooms besides mine and pepper's so some of you will have to share, I imagine you guys can decide that just fine. I'm gonna go to my floor, take a shower and then take care of the damage that Loki and the big guy did on the last floor"
That left Natasha, Clint, Steve and Banner to decide about the rooms, so Steve was the first "Well Thor is not here anymore, I assume that since you guys are ... hmm... kind of cl... close..." he said pointing to Nat and Clint "you wouldn't mind correct?" "Yeah.. I mean, Clint and I have shared a room before, I mean, for the job, but you sure it's okay for you guys? I've been here before, one of the rooms have two small beds, this way you guys can have your own bed at least" Bruce's voice was heard for the first time that day after the battle "that's really nice of you Nat, I'm gonna go and get some rest" and then he exited the room "I actually heard that the is a relaxing room somewhere with books and stuff so I'm gonna go and look for it" and then Cap left.NATASHA'S P.O.V
After Bruce and Rogers left the room I eyed Clint, he was pretty bad, yeah some cuts and stuff, but what concerned me the most was his mind, probably he was better on the outside than on the inside.
"Clint? Do you wanna lay down? At least take a shower, you will feel probably way better"
"I'm just... I don't think that sharing a room is the best idea for us"
"What Clint? Why?" I was slightly offended by that, the last time I saw him was before the mission with Stark, while I was in Los Angeles taking care of Iron Man he was in New Mexico, now I know that that was somehow related to Thor, but before it was all classified, and our last time together was... well we had just revealed our feelings to one another, like not with words but we understood each other, we had sex, nothing new, we've already slept together before, but it was about comfort, we don't have human contact as much as we like in our line of work, so it felt natural for us to end up having sex.
"Nat, I can't trust myself, it looks like Loki can enter in my mind any second and make me do things that I don't want to. You know I was supposed to kill you, fortunately you are better at hand to hand combat than I am, but it doesn't matter, that was my mission, at the end I had to kill you"
"Yeah, I know, in a intimate way that only you know I fear.."
"What? What do you mean you know?" Now I sat down on the sofa on the living room to try to explain to him "well... I got to talk to Loki, I just couldn't believe he was there and no one was paying attention to him, to what he could say. So I let Fury know and went there, and he told me, he told me everything, he even talked about Sao Paulo"
"Shit Nat, I'm sorry"
"Clint, that's the point, you don't have to be sorry, that wasn't you, it wasn't, everything that he got to know about me, that was never told by you, that wasn't Clint, not the Clint that I know, you weren't going to kill me, you could never do that, you know that's true. Please, don't run away from me, not now when you just got back, you are my best friend, the closest thing I got to family"
He got on his knees right in from of me and stared at me "I'm sor.. I'm just afraid to hurt you, that would fucking kill me Tasha"
"Let's go to our room, you will take a shower, get changed and take a well deserved nap"
"Ok"
"Don't worry Hawk, I'll be with you on every step of the way"
They were so caught up in the moment that little did they know that Bruce heard all of it from his bedroom, that was the first door on the corridor.
