YOUR POV

I was born without the ability to hear. As I grew I learned how to communicate with people through sign language or passing little notes. My family didn't have the money to get implants so I decided that when I grew up i didn't need them. I went this long without them so why get them now?

Now, some days, I regret that decision. I became an active member of SHEILD, sorta working alongside the Avengers if they really needed me. Other than that I did some field work and recon. I enjoyed my job, but there were times when I felt like because of my disability I was holding people back.

Do you want to join us on this next mission, agent y/l/n?

The note Steve slid towards me said. I looked up after reading over the note a few times, trying to decide if I should just say fuck it and take the leap on this.

I shook my head no, smiling apologetically at the first avenger.

I have a ton of paperwork I need to get done for Fury.

I wrote back with the ball point pen he handed me. Steve nodded, patting my shoulder before walking past me. Closing my eyes with a sigh I seemed to get lost in my head again. Shaking away the negative thoughts as quickly as they came I decided to actually get started on some paper work I had.

[...]

Hey cutie :)

My cheeks grew hot after reading the little message on the yellow sticky note. Looking up I was a little shocked to see Black Widow standing there with a smirk on her face. I waved before shoving my face back in my work.

Awe :( why do you have to hide your face?

I playfully rolled my eyes at that one, grabbing my own pen and scribbling back my response.

Why do you have to use such cheesy lines?

I saw her shoulders shake up and down and I figured she must be laughing.

Fair enough. Do you want to join me on a mission? Just us two?

I bit my lip as I wracked my brain trying to think of another excuse.

And please, no excuses

Well fuck.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm going to have to pass :(

Nat reached over and grabbed a piece of lined paper to finish our conversation on, pushing the sticky note to the side.

How come you always say no? I've read your file and you're a damn skilled agent

I sighed quietly to myself

I'm not good enough to be with you guys out there. I can't even hear! How am I supposed to communicate with you all? You can find better.

While I can find better, I don't want better.... I want you.

I gulped, was this flirting? Was she still flirting with me?

You can feel vibrations more powerfully than we can. You'd know if someone was coming before they even came. And, if you wanted, I'm sure Stark would be more than happy to help you hear again :) But I still think you're great without it

And before you say no again, I'd be with you the entire time. I wouldn't let anything happen to you.

Should I? Should I take this risk? Put my life in her hands? It's not like I didn't know how to fight, it was the fact that I could possibly be putting her life in danger if I didn't alert her of the people. But maybe I should do it if she seemed confident in me and my abilities.

Okay... I'll go :)

Nat raised her fist in the air, smiling brightly.

Yes! I'll pick you up at 7 ;)

My eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

What about the mission?

Going on a date with me is the mission! Hope you like sushi because there's this place you're going to love :)

My cheeks felt hot once more as I smiled at the agent, nodding my head.

I'll see you at 7 <3
