Chapter 22: The Plan

*Steve's point of View*

"So, what are we going to do?" I asked, Clint was sitting on the floor in front of Nat and I was beside her. Tony was sitting on the floor beside me.
"What can we do?" Tony asked.
"Well, I could go back and tell Bruce it's over?" Nat suggested and I felt light-headed.
"No. No way. He isn't going to let you go, he is going to hurt you! I cant let that happen! Not again!" I put my head in my hands and Nat put her hand on my shoulder.
"I'll be okay, Steve!" Nat said.
"Nat, I don't think that's a good idea. You were with him for 15 minutes and look what he did! Your not going back alone." Tony said, firmly. His voice was worried.
"I agree with Tony, your not going back." Clint added.
"Fine, what do you suggest then?" Nat sat back with her arms folded.
"I'm not sure but we have to think of something." I added, looking up.

We sat there for what felt like hours going over ideas and we shut them all down, pointing out the issues with the plans. We went through 3 rounds of coffee and two packets of custard creams before we came up with our plan.

"What if we do let Nat go in?" I said, thinking of an idea.
"We've already denied that and you agreed!" Clint said, annoyed by my idea.
"We let her go in but she wont be alone!" I remarked.
"Who would go in with her?" Tony asked, intrigued about my idea.
"Wanda?" Nat suggested.
"I'll call Wanda."
Within about 5 minutes, Wanda was at the door.

"Nat! Jesus! What happened?!" Wanda saw Nat on the couch and immediately ran to her aid.
"Bruce knows about me and Steve which is shown by the Bruises and scratches on my body." Nat said, giving Wanda a hug.
"He did this?! I'm going to kill him!" Wanda shouted before heading towards the door but I stopped her.
"Wanda, we need you help to get her away from him, once and for all." I said standing in front of her. Wanda calmed down a bit and walked back over and sat next to Nat.
"What do you want me to do? I'll do anything!" She said, her voice sounded determined.
"We have a plan." Tony said and Wanda looked at him.
"Wanda and Nat will go into the apartment and tell Bruce it's over. Me, Clint and Tony will be waiting in the hallway suited up and ready for any sort of attack he prepares. Wanda, if he goes for either of you, I want you both to call us and stop him from hurting you." I said, making sure everyone was aware of the plan.
"The Hulk is likely to come out so we all have to be ready to take him out and get Nat out of there-" Tony added before Nat interrupted him.
"I'm not leaving, I'm fighting as well!"
"You can't fight, your injured! You need to rest!" I said, trying to get her to see.
"I'm not leaving all of you, he is going to go for you, Steve! Your going to get hurt and I can't forgive myself ever if he hurts you while I'm relaxing on the couch watching Disney movies!" She stood up on one foot and hopped over to me.
"Nat, Please-" I tried but I was interrupted.
"Then we wait. We wait until I can fight. Your not going without me." Nat looks up to me and puts her hand on my cheek.
"Then we wait. You stay here and rest. I'll try and be here when I can, all of us will. If Bruce finds out your here then we move you to a different room." I said, Nat stood in front of me. Her eyes were staring in to mine and I just want to kiss her. But then I remembered we weren't alone.
"We will all come in and Check on you throughout the day, we will make it so at all times, you will have somebody with you." Tony said and Nat turned around and leaned against me, I wrapped my arms around her.
"Steve, you will need to leave the apartment and be seen by Bruce walking around the building to show that there is no one in your room." Clint suggested and I nodded.
"As soon as I'm better, we confront Bruce. Deal?" Nat said and everyone nodded.

*RING RING*

Tony's phone started ringing. He turned to me and mimed "its bruce!" and everyone stayed quiet while he answered the phone.

"Hey Bruce! What's up?" Tony said. Tony has its volume up way too high so we all heard the conversation clearly.
"Hey Tony, have you seen Nat?"
"No sorry, why? What's happened?"
"I think she's with Steve but I checked his room yesterday and she wasn't there at all. She left the apartment last night and I haven't seen her since!"
"Do you know why she left?"
"Not really, she just left." I felt Natasha's body tense and I squeezed her tight, she relaxed a bit once she remembered I was there.
"She walked out the elevator yesterday and had a black eye? Do you know how she got it? Clint swears she was fine before she got into the elevator!" This was a risky move.
"Her feet gave way in the elevator and she banged her head, I took her straight to the apartment to get her an ice pack. If you see her could you tell her to come back to the apartment because I have a monster film that we can watch." Bastard. Natasha turned back around to me and hugged me tight.
"Will do, see ya!" Tony hung up.

"A monster film?" Wanda asked.
"He called me a monster, repeatedly. He wants me back to... to" I stopped her talking because I know she will just torture herself with the possibility of what he will do if he gets hold of her.
"I've got you. Ive got you. He isn't going to hurt you anymore." I repeated and I kissed her forehead and I felt her squeeze me tighter. I looked at Wanda who felt bad for questioning the monster film and I tried to reassure her, I mimed to her "she's alright, don't worry" and she nodded, still feeling bad. Nat let go of me and I helped her back to the couch. I saw Wanda say to Nat that she was sorry and Nat just hugged her. It could make anyone feel better if Nat hugged them.

About 10 minutes later, the others had left and it was just me and Nat, we sat on the couch and just hugged. We sat like that for 20 minutes till Nat realised she hadn't eaten since yesterday and her stomach grumbled.
"Is that a hint for me to make you some food?" I said, laughing.
"Why I think it is!" She said, looking at me with a smile plastered across her face. She still had her Black eye but it didnt look as bad. I put my hand on her cheek and kissed her lips. She kissed me back. I pulled away a few seconds after to make Nat some food.

I walked over to the kitchen and stood there for a minute just watching her. The way her blood-red hair falls down to her shoulders gives me butterflies. I could stand there all day watching her if I had the chance.
"What are you staring at?" Nat turned to look at me and caught me staring at her.
"Your the worlds best spy and you can't work out what I'm staring at? I need to get you back on your missions!" I laughed, I turned around and got the bacon and eggs out the fridge and started to cook them.
"I'd love to go back on missions but somebody won't let me!" Nat said, laughing as well.
"You need to rest!" I was still facing the oven while we spoke.
"I'd rather rest with you" Her voice sounded very close, I turned around to see Nat standing on one leg looking at me. She stood only a metre away from me.
"I feel really bad saying this, but I have to say it." She looked at me confused, I felt a huge smirk grow across my face. "Babe, you look like a flamingo!" I burst out into laughter and Nat just looked at me and rolled her eyes.
"You are honestly so immature!"
"You make me feel like a child, after all, love is for children." I took a step closer to Nat and wrapped my arms around her waist. Nat put her arms around my neck. I pressed my lips softly against hers and she pressed hers against mine. I lifted her up, still kissing her and she carefully wrapped her legs around me. I turned around and put her on the side next to the stove and we carried on kissing. I took my lips away from hers and went back to the stove to serve our lunch.
"Your such a tease." She said, moaning like a small child does when they want candy.
"I learned from the best!" I handed her a plate of food and picked her up off the side and put back on the floor. I picked up my plate and I carefully helped her walk to the couch. We ate our food, Natasha kept complimenting me on my cooking skills and I blushed everytime.

After lunch, we just sat there all day watching Disney movies, we watched Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty and the beast and Brave. We fell asleep on the couch during Brave. We cuddled all day. A full day of resting. It was one of the best days I've ever had.
