The Other Rogers | Natasha Romanoff

Ch 47

I start to wake up but unable to move as I'm cuffed to a hospital bed.

Bruce notices and goes to Mason's side.

"Hey you're a awake." Bruce says coming to the bed.

"Why am I here and cuffed Bruce?" I ask raspy and squinting as my eyes adjust to the light.

He hands me a cup of water but I give him a 'really' look since I'm cuffed.

"Right, sorry." He says sheepishly putting a straw in the cup and bringing it up to my lips letting me take a drink.

"Thanks." I sigh laying back into the pillows.

The doors bust open revealing a not so happy Nick Fury.

"Care to explain your actions commander?" He grits.

"What are you talking about Fury?" I ask tiredly confused and he scoffs slightly turning to the side before facing me again.

He brings out a tablet showing me security camera footage. I see myself acting animalistic attacking my friends, the ones I swore to protect.

"I- I don't know what to say." I say speechless.

"You can't attack your own what does that look like when an Avenger attacks their own team! What was going through your head?!" He yells and I close my eyes sighing.

"Oh so now you don't want to talk? The mission went well but the after math not so much." He scoffs.

My heart monitor starts to beep more frequently.

"Fury she needs to rest." Bruce tells him.

"Now you're the talk of the building some want you fired! Others are not even feeling safe in their place of work!" He continues ignoring Bruce.

I snap free from the chains and stand up despite being in pain and being hooked up to monitors.

Mason's eyes turn red.

"Enough! I don't know what happened to me Fury! You think I would attack them on purpose! I don't know what came over me I had no control!" I step up to him and the door opens hearing a gun being cocked.

I turn to see Natasha with a gun pointed at me and I chuckle.

"Gonna shoot me? Do it. I'll even give you a clean shot." I grit taking off my shirt stepping forward so it's right in front of my heart pressed against the scar that's also there.

Natasha swallows thickly and lowers her gun.

"Mason please calm down." Bruce comes over to me.

"I am calm." I grumble yanking the IV out and other things that were on me.

"So what Fury? Gonna fire me over something that I couldn't control?" I ask bitterly.

"I'm not gonna fire you I want some damn answers. I want to help you." He says.

"Well I don't have them!" I stress.

"Mason you're bleeding." Bruce says looking down at my slashed leg and I sigh.

Mason's eyes turn back to normal.

"The mission was successful that's all that matters." I shake my head going towards the door but Natasha doesn't move.

"Step aside agent." I tell her but she crosses her arms.

"You need medical attention." She says.

I roll my eyes then lift her up turning around then put her down in front of the hospital bed then walk well more like limp out the door.

"Mason!" I hear making me turn around.
