Scarlet Widow (Black Widow X Scarlet Witch)

Chapter 6: Mommy

Natasha P.O.V

I wake up, late at night to a throbbing headache. I squint my eyes closed when I grab a hold on my head. I don't know what time it is so I look over to look at my clock, 3:16 am it says. "Fuck" I say to myself in a gravelly tone. In annoyance I turn over to find a spot to sleep in.

It had been 10 minutes of just tossing and turning. In a sigh of defeat I get up and head to the kitchen knowing I'll be up for a bit.

I get my glass and fill it up with some water. While I'm finishing it though I have a feeling that something isn't right however I can't put my finger on it.

While I'm walking back to my room I hear something but coming from Wanda. As I press my ear up to her door, it sounds like whimpering. I open the door gingerly to find the brunette turning continuously.

"Wanda" I say trying to see if I can find out wrong. She mumbled something though. "Mommy?" I think to myself. Then I remember the talk with Pietro on the plane. "Poor thing is probably having a nightmare.

Just then she turns to me with half asleep, looking up to me in a confused manner. "Mom is that you?" She asks, I just stand there not knowing what to say but then I remember how hurt she must feel and the empathy comes out from me as i too have felt the same thing because of the Red Room.

Without a second thought I said, "Yes sweetie it's me". She flung her arms around me and pulled me close squeezing me so tight. "Mommy it's been so long, where have you been, I've missed you" I could feel my top start to get damp from her tears.

As I learnt back against the head board I could tell she was overcome with emotion and how she felt so happy to, kinda, have her mum back.

My priority in this was to stay until she fell asleep then carefully make my way to the door and get back to bed however a part of me wanted me to stay here, with Wanda, to make sure she would be alright.

We just sat there in each other's arms, this was the kind of comfort I needed but also it was like I wanted more.

I had never felt this way about anyone before, well I guess when your a secret assassin you don't have time for a love life, but there was something different about Wanda as I looked down at her. She's different.

The feeling I'm getting right now is something I've never felt. I feel fuzzy, warm and safe. For once in my life I think I might actually have a crush and it's someone I haven't even know for 2 days!

Ugh, what's wrong with me I'm usually tougher than this but with Wanda I'm as soft as a teddy bear.

"Hey mom" she says out of no where, "could you sing me something?". I just sat there not knowing how to respond to that however after a bit of thinking I came to the conclusion she needed this. "Of course sweetie" I said, "this is a old russian lullaby mommy learnt".

As I started to sing I could feeling her grip around me start to loosen, near the end of the song I just hummed it to her to be careful as the last thing I wanted was to wake her up.

Then, I started to pull away and made way to the door. However just as my hand touched the the doorknob I felt a tug on the back of my top. As I turned around I found Wanda on her front looking up at me. Tears started to form in her eyes. "Mommy please don't leave me again. I don't want you to go. I don't want to be alone."

My heart was destroyed at the pain and distress she was in. Within seconds I admitted defeat and made my back to the bed. "Of course baby I won't leave for the rest of the night". Her face lit up after I said that a smile came into view and soon one did on mine as well.

So in the end I was able to get to sleep just fine and I got a bonus with it, and that being with an adorable little witch.
