Romanogers Part 2💗

Chapter 14: Recap

*Natasha's point of view*

"Can we go back to yours?" I asked walking off the jet. I saw Steve walk off down the corridor and a worried Sharon followed him. I tried to ignore as best as possible and I just faced Clint who was helping me hop down.
"No, your going to the Care unit." He said, looking at me firmly.
"Fine." I huffed and he laughed slightly.
"Still so stubborn." He said, laughing.
"Somethings never change." I laughed with him.

We stepped on the elevator and we went down to care unit where I found out I had to stay overnight there for them to make sure I was okay. Clint never left my side.

It was late afternoon and Clint sat next me and we both watched some awful reality TV programme. I knew he liked that kind of thing so I put it on. Halfway through the programme, Clint paused it and I looked at him confused.
"What was that for? I thought you liked this crap?" I laughed but he didn't.
"Somethings do change." He said, looking deep into my eyes and straight into my soul. I knew what was coming. We hadn't spoken properly at all. "What's happened?" H asked sternly. He stood up and sat next to me on the bed. I fiddled with my fingers. "Natasha."
"A lot happened."
"Like what? Start from the beginning." He said and he got comfortable. He really wanted to know.
"Well, I arrived in Budapest and went to the guy I got weapons and a car from when we went to Budapest."
"You cashed in your favour?"
"Yeah, I thought it was the right time."
"Anyway carry on." I huffed and continued.
"I drove around Europe for 2 months, finding information and I realised that a common denominator in all of the information I collected was a compound in Kiev. I left my bag by a tree-" he interrupted me.
"We found that by the way, its sitting in my Apartment."
"Thanks. I went in to the compound and I found a few files of people these people had tortured and killed. I saw a file with Steve's name and immediately started to leave to warn you guys but I saw a file on the desk. It was my file. I was then drugged and kept there for 4 months."
"You weren't just kept there, were you?" He said, sternly. He really was my big brother. I huffed and tears filled my eyes.
"They did things. Stabbed. Cut. Bruised. Hit. You name it, I got it. Everyday." A tear rolled down my face. This wasn't even the worst part.
"Just over a week ago, I was shoved into a cell with two men. One was chained to the wall, the other was free to leave. He said something about reminiscing. I was so confused so I quickly looked who it was and it was Steve!" I smiled and so did he. My smile soon faded though. "I put on an accent and acted like someone else to try and cover up who I was so I could surprise him." I leaned my head back and a few more tears ran down my face. "I asked him who the girl was and he said that she was wonderful and that she had been through so much." I started sobbing and Clint pulled me in for a hug. "He said they'd only been together a month and I felt myself crumble."
"Wait, WHAT?!" Clint yelled pulling away.
"Him and Sharon. Oh wait, it gets worse!" I said and I saw anger build up inside of him. He composed himself before continuing.
"Go on."
"He called me his dead girlfriend and that he... he..." Clint looked at me and clenched his fists. I played with my fingers and continued. "He said he didn't know if he loved me."
"BASTARD!" Clint yelled and started pacing around the room.
"He found out who I was and immediately changed his story, saying he loved me and I told him it was over." Clint finally came back around and sat next to me. "I- ... I told him how I felt. How much I loved him. How... how much he meant to me. How much time I spent thinking about him. I told him... I told him..." Clint pulled me in for a hug and i cried into his chest. "He said he... he didn't know if he loved me! How can you not know?!" I cried and Clint just hugged me tighter. Once I calmed down a bit, he let go of me and I put my head on his shoulder. "I told him that it was over, for good. I can't trust him. I don't know if he ever loved me. I told him in time, maybe it can go back to how it was. But I don't know if i can trust him again." I said and Clint nodded.
"Look, Natasha. I will never ever leave your side, no matter how much you hurt me or beat me up. If you need anything, anything at all, you know where I am. Steve is a jerk, how could he move on so quickly?! I'm so sorry." He said as he kissed the top of my head and hugged me.
"There is one thing?" I said and he turned me to face him.
"What?" He looked at me suspiciously.
"Can I stay at yours for a bit? I need to get my confidence back."
"Is that even a question?!" He laughed and I laughed with him. I loved him. Me and Clint were very close and he was like the brother I never had. When he said he would do anything, he wasn't lying. He would happily jump off a building or sacrifice himself for my life and I would do exactly the same for him.

After a while, Wanda turned up and when I told her what I told Clint, she was ready to kill him but I managed to calm her down. Tony came in as well, he was glad to see me but he already knew from when he spoke to Steve. Tony hugged me and made sure I was okay before leaving. Wanda left as well because she had to get back to her mission. She came back especially for me. Wanda was like my younger sister. Me, Clint and Wanda were family to eachother and I loved it. They were what I needed to help me feel better about Steve.

I won't ever be able to get over him. I probably won't ever be able to love again. How can I get over him? I love him.
