Romanogers Part 2💗

Chapter 21: Family

*Natasha's point of view*

4 weeks. 4 weeks he has been gone. 4 weeks and there have been no developments on his case. 4 weeks of endless worrying and pain-filled nightmares. I dream that he is getting hurt, wherever he is, it hurts me more than it hurts him. I just want this to be over, I want him to be with me, here, now.

I have barely left this room, my eyes glazed over from the continuous staring at that damned screen that shows the entire world. Clint has sat with me, keeping me company, I feel bad because I don't think he has left the room either. He doesn't want to leave me. Him being next to me helps me sleep, if it weren't for him, I would be addicted to coffee!

Clint had fallen asleep in the other swivel chair so I decided to look through the computer. I searched the local news, BBC news, sky news and many other European and Asian news websites. Nothing. Not a damn thing. I know it's a long shot but it was worth a try. You never know, maybe Steve broke away and found a news agent who could help him get a hold of us! Wishful thinking? Probably. I'm slowly turning insane but mainly in my head, I'm more angry on the outside.

Just when I was about to shut down the computer, a little letter symbol popped up in the corner of the screen. I think we were on Clints email but I was intrigued. He checked my emails regularly, mainly because I accidentally leave it on the computer and as he has left his on, I'm going to have a look! I opened the email.

Hey Clint!

Here's the Blueprints of the building I think he is in. He is in Romania. Heavily guarded castle-type building in Galati. Next to the Danube. I Hope Nats Okay, tell her to contact me when all this is over! Now you've cashed in your favour, we are even! Hope to see you and Nat soon, hopefully with Cap!

M

What is this? Whose 'M'? Why are they Sending Clint Blueprints? Why is my name involved? Cap? Steve? Favour? Wait. He didn't. He can't have. He has. He has cashed in his favour from Marcus. For me. Clint, you son of a-

"Hey, Nat. What are ya looking at?" Clint said, interrupting my thoughts. He rubbed his eyes and leaned in to see what I was looking at. I just looked at him blankly. "Yes! Marcus got back to me!"
"Clint. I'm confused." I said, slightly lifting my eyebrow to convey my emotions.
"I called in my favour!" He said, enthusiastically. He seemed very happy with his work.
"Clint, the favour is for-"
"Emergencies only. Yeah I know. I just couldn't stand seeing you like this. Steve means so much to you and if he is what you need to be happy, then I'd give anything to have him back here with you. Anything to see you smile. You are my little sister after all. We're Family! So don't go telling me that I've made a huge mistake when this is one of the most surest thing I've ever done, Okay?" I was gobsmacked. In the state that I am already, I couldn't help but cry and leap into his arms for a hug.
"Thank you so much!" I whispered in his ear as I squeezed him tighter, tears were streaming down my face. I may actually see Steve again. I can tell him how I feel!
"Air... Need... Air.... Not... Breathing..." Clint choked and I let go of him.
"Sorry." I laughed, wiping away a few tears.
"Don't mention it, at least I didn't pass out this time!" He laughed, referring to the time when he said he'd take me as his partner and help me become the best I can be when I first started working for SHIELD. I'd do anything for him! He is so valuable and precious to me!

Clint said he'd look through the security of the place and the Blueprints. He told me to go tell Wanda to get it out of my system and we'd round up all the available members and leave tomorrow evening. We needed anyone we could get.

I hugged Clint and Thanked him again and ran out the door. I haven't seen real daylight in weeks so I was a bit taken aback from the large glass windows. I ran down the stairs and straight to Wanda's room and knocked on the door continuously. The door opened and a tired Wanda showed her face.
"Tony! Go away! What did I-" She stopped when she noticed it was me. "Nat! Your the last person I expected to see!" She said and pulled me in for a hug. I hugged her tight. "So what's up?" She asked when she noticed I couldn't keep still.
"CLINT FOUND STEVE!"  I yelled and her face lit up.
"Oh my god! Yay! You look so happy!" She smiled along with me and we both bounced around in the corridors. "Come in, Nat!" She said. I followed her inside and sat on her couch. I felt my mood drop as Anxiety over took my mood. "So, how did he find him?! When are we getting him?" She asked but I stared off in time that wall. "Nat... Nat?." She spoke but I zoned out. "NATASHA!!" Wanda snapped me back into reality. My face was covered in worry and fear and she looked worried as well. "What's up?" She said leaning in closer to me.
"What if... what if I waited too long?" I replied and I could feel a tear forming in my tear duct.
"What do you mean?"
"What if he doesn't love me anymore? What if he doesn't want to be with me anymore? I don't even know if he is alive! What if he isnt? I definitely waited too long! Wanda, what if he hates me?!" I cried and tears fell down my scarred cheeks. Wanda moved next to me and pulled me in for a hug. I cried on to her shoulder.
"Nat, he loves you! You two are perfect together! I'm sure he is alive and counting down the minutes until he gets to see you again." Wanda reassured.
"What if he doesn't feel the same way?" I said quietly so Wanda couldn't hear but she did.
"He does. I promise. So when are we going to get him?" She asked, I sniffed back the tears.
"Tomorrow night."
"I can go!"
"Good! Because we need you!" I laughed and she laughed as well.
"Okay. So. Tell me everything."
