Endgame Romanogers Fanfic

Chapter 28

Steve turned to face Clint, who was still kneeling on the floor, looking desolate. Everything already answered Steve's question about Natasha. The fact that she didn't return and Clint's reaction when he arrived.

Steve took a deep breath and as Clint did not respond and the desperation was great, Steve grabbed his uniform with aggression.

Steve: Barton!!! Where's Natasha???

Steve asked impatiently and accusingly.

Clint looked at Steve and made negative with his head, then his eyes got filled with tears, which made Steve angry and desolate by the fear he was feeling of having lost Natasha forever.

Steve is aware that this is what happened but he doesn't want it to be true and he needs to hear from Clint to be sure.

Steve: Where is she?? Why you here and she is not? What happened???

Steve now lifted Clint by his uniform, making him stand and that made the others intervene and make him release his friend.

Steve: Where is she??? She was with you!! How could you leave her behind??

Steve accused.

Tony: Okay, alright... Thor, a little help here...

Tony asked for help to contain Steve.

Steve was pushed back by Thor and Hulk and this caused him to pull his arm abruptly to free himself.

Steve: Let go of me, Thor! Let go!!

Thor: I want to do this but you need to calm down, buddy!

Steve: I want answers and I want it now!!!

Hulk: Steve, I know. I want that too, but... you are very upset right now. I am too and even your son is... Look at him... he is nervous and you need to be able to help him.

Steve looked at James and that was what stopped him from trying to grab Clint Barton again but it also made him understand what had happened... Natasha died, that's it, that's why Clint is so sad.

Steve: Won't she come back?

Steve looked and Clint. Clint looked at Steve, shaking his head and with tears in his eyes.

Clint: No... I am sorry...

Clint informed Steve and everyone was very shocked and very sad but not like Steve was, he doesn't know how to react to this because he has had a lot of losses in his life so he is used to pain and grief but he is not even a bit prepared to mourn the loss of Natasha, the love of his life, mother of his child, he never imagined that it was possible for her to leave him forever, it was supposed to be him or Clint or anyone else. Why she?? Why now? What does he do now??

Steve has never been without Natasha before, they have been together since his first mission with the Avengers, she was not only his girlfriend and a mother, she was his best friend, she was his best work partner and that made her the best woman he ever had. There won't be a minute of life that he won't miss her, he's already missing her now.

Steve put his hand on his chest and grabbed his own shirt very tightly as if he was feeling a sharp pain in his chest like a knife being stuck on him, he lowered his head and it seemed that his mind had traveled in time, reminding him of every moment he lived with Natasha. They went through so many things together. This post-Snap life only made sense with her, she was the column that kept him upright and he seemed to be the same for her.

Steve only came out of his thoughts when the Hulk hit the ground so hard that the whole machine shook and it scared James and Morgan. Morgan ran to her mother and James screamed and cried more than before.
