Widow's Shield

Wing It

"So your plan is..."

"I don't have one."

"What?!" Natasha demanded, "You don't have one? So we are just standing here for what?"

Steve looked at his wife, "What?"

"Your daughter's going crazy." Natasha breathed.

"I'm not crazy!" Ana yells, making her mother remove the earpiece she had on.

"Going?" everyone chuckles at the question.

Ana frowns at Morgan, who said, "Guys stop. Ana's frowning and we all know what that means... and I cannot risk that."

The chuckles died out and Ana smiled, "Thank you." "And for the previous question," Ana explains, "I am winging it."

Morgan turns her head towards her friend, shocked, "What?!"

Ana smiles.

"You? Queen of control, are winging this?" Lila gasped.

"The princess of organization!" Cooper asked in disbelief.

"Mistress of the Planner," Nathan chuckled, "winging it?!"

Ana peered down the rooftop, waited for the right monent before jumping and falling right into T'Chakka's arms. As soon as Ana was set down to her feet, the prince looked at her worried, "Are you alright?"

Ana nodded and smiled.

"Why do I get the feeling that you did that on purpose?" the prince asked.

"I'm sorry, I just needed to ask you something." Ana admitted.

"Okay what?" the prince asked.

Ana took out the piece of paper from her pocket, "Years ago, on my birthday a guy handed me this note on the subway on my way to Brooklyn..."

"You were the girl on the subway?" the prince looked at Ana in disbelief.

Ana smiles sweetly, "And you're the boy on the subway? The boy who Morgan had relentlessly teased me about from the subway to the Avenger Towers. Now, I wanna know if I was just the 'girl on the subway' would you have stayed this long?"

"I... I... I..." T'Chakka looks down. She knows that I stayed behind for her... how? "A year after you left, my Aunt Shurri gave birth to a princess and now she's the heir of the throne, Ramonda II future queen of Wakanda."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"I don't want to be king if it means not being with you." the prince admitted. "Let's sit down?" he held out his hand and walked Ana to the nearest bench.

As they sat down, Ana looked at her hands folded on her lap. "You took a leap of faith, what if this doesn't work out?"

"What is this?" T'Chakka asked, "Look Anastasia, I know that you grew up in front of the public's watchful eyes and scrutinized about everything... never being free. And I cannot guarantee you freedom from the press, as I am a prince, I can offer you love."
