The next morning.
Rosemarie's P.O.V.

I wake up to my alarm going off. After I hit the snooze button, I begrudgingly get up. I get loose fitting clothes from my dresser and head to the bathroom. I set the clothes on the counter and get into the shower. As I shower, I play with the water. I make it into shapes, run it through my fingers, and throw it at the wall. After the shower, I get dressed and head to the kitchen that is on this floor to get something to eat. As I walk in, I see Natasha sitting at the table, drinking a cup of coffee. I go to the cabinets and get a bowl. As I pour cereal into the bowl, Natsha gets up and puts her cup in the dishwasher. She turns and looks at me for a moment. She leans up against the counter and folds her arms acrossed her chest. Her green eyes seem to bore into my soul. It freaks me out a little. I look back at her, not sure what to do. " I'll see you in the training room in a bit. Don't be late." she says coldly, and walks out the room. I shake my head, confused. I thought she wanted to help me. But the way she just acted... I cut off my thoughts. She is The Black Widow. I should not be suprised. She acts cold and distant with everyone. I sit at the table and eat my bowl of cereal.

Short Time Skip

I get out of the elevator and head to the gym. I'm a few minutes early, but when I walk through the door, I see Natasha already warming up on the mats. She punches the air, ducking and twirling. It scares me to the point that I almost turn around and walk back out, but I've been spotted. Before I can make a quick escape, she calls to me. " Glad your here early. We can go ahead and get started." She says smirking at me. I can tell she already knows how she is going to lay me out. I have had very little in the way of hand-to-hand combat training. I just hope she doesn't go to hard on me because I don't want to lose control. I resist the urge to groan and move to the mats and take off my sweat shirt. As I streatch, Natasha paces. I watch her movements. There is grace and agility in her movements. But when she starts to punch the air, I can also see the power behind each strike. And if any one ever says that that did'nt intimidate them, they would most definetly be lying. I get into what I think is a defensive stance. Natasha pauses her pacing and looks at my feet. " Your feet are in the wrong position. If I swung at you, you would fall backwards." She says. " Well I guess its a good thing I could turn the ground into mush if I wanted to" I say. She moves closer to me and motions to my right foot. " Bring that foot forward a bit and make sure your feet are shoulder length apart." She continues to instruct me for almost an hour just on the different types of defensive positions. So when she swung at me, I was ready. She didn't go for my head like most people would. She went to hit me in my stomach. Thankfully, I twisted out of the way in time. She continued to swind, and I continued to dogde. However, after a few minutes, I got sloppy. She swung a right hook at my torso and I didn't move in time. I fell back onto the mat and cursed. I knew I wasn't any good at hand to had but I was worse than I could have imagined. When I stood up, she looked at me and said " We're done for today." and started to walk away. I didn't want it to end with me on my back. My blood was racing and I wanted to continue. " No, I can go again." I said. She turned and looked at me with an eyebrow raised. " I can take more than that. I can't learn anything if you think I can't take more than one punch." I say. She walks back towards me. She pauses a yard or so away from me. " Ok. But you try to land a hit on my this time too." She says with a smirk. I get back into position and wait for her to start. She swings at me and I duck under her arm. As she twists around to try to get behind me, I try to trip her. She easily dodges that and swings towards my stomach again. But I block it with my arms. She goes to kick out my legs from under me, but I jump in time. Then something wierd happens. It feels like my body goes into auto pilot. When ever she tries to land a punch or tries to sweep my legs out from under me with a kick, I am able nimbly dodge her. She pauses for a moment narrows her eyes. She tries to stike at my head, and i simply back step. I swing to her torso and connect with her stomach. She winces, but grabs my arm and tries to put it behind my back. I twist out of it and she dances on her toes back to the egde of the mat. She studies me for a moment. She charges at me going for a direct attack. She fakes a right hook then goes left. I catch her fist in my hand. I look at it shocked. " Wow that was cool!" I say and look at her, smiling. She looks at me, confused. " What?" I ask her. She doesn't respond and instead swings her other arm at me. I duck and grab her arm like she did to me. But instead of pinning it behind her, I flip her. She lands on her back. I pin her to the ground with me straddling her hips and hold her hands above her head. She looks up at me, shocked. I laugh. I get up and offer her hand. In that moment, whatever caused me to be able to do that to THE Natasha Romanoff leaves me. My vision goes blurry. " Rose, are you alright?" Three Natashas ask me. "Awe shit." is all I can say before everything goes black.

Tony's P.O.V

                         I'm in the lab when my phone rings. I don't even bother to look at the caller I.D. " Hello?" I answer. " Tony, this is Nat. I was calling to inform you that I had to deposit Rose at the infirmery." Comes from the other end. "WHAT?!" I shout. " What the hell happened? You were only supposed to be teaching her the basics. OH MY GOD ROMANOFF, WHAT DID YOU DO?" " If you will calm down and untwist your iron tits, I will tell you what happened. But you need to get your ass down here. Pepper is already here. So is the cap." she says boredly. I hang up and head to the elevator. I press the infirmiry level button several times. When I get to the floor, I ignore the doctors and nurses and head straight to were I see Pepper and Steve.
                                      " What is going on? Is she going to be ok?" I ask. Steve turns and looks at me. " The doctors ran several tests and from that, they have concluded that it is just exhaustion and over exertion." He says. I look to Pepper and she nodds her head. I go into the room and see Natahsa once again sitting in the chair beside Roses bed, looking at her phone. Rose has a sheen of sweat on her face and she looks pale. Her black hair stark against the white hospital pillow. She is hooked up to a heart monitor, the beeping currently steady. I go and sit on the end of the bed and cross my arms.
                                Pepper enters and lays down beside Rose, playing with her hair. That made me smile because thats what Pepper would do when Rose was younger to get her to go to sleep. I look over to Natahsa and my gaze hardens. " Don't even start with me, Tony." she says, not bothering to look away from her phone. " What happened?" I ask her. She looks up at me. " We went over several defensive stances. Then we sparred a bit. I won. I said we were done. she said she wanted to continues. So we did. Then something strange happened. Her eyes glowed blue and she suddenly got really good. She FlIPPED ME onto my back, Tony. Even after years of sparring together, Clint has never been able to do that." she says the last part shocked.
                        " I can't do what?" comes from the door way. Nat and I look over to see lint and Thor standing in the doorway. " Flip me on my back." Natasha responds. She looks back at her phone. " So, what of it?" Clint asks. " She managed to do it in a day?" Natasha says. " NO WAY?! seriously? Oh man, that is halrious." Clint says, laughing. Natasha turns and looks at him. " What is so funny?" She asks tersley. " That THE infamous black widow got laid out by the newbie." He says. I decide to interject. " What are you guys doing here?" I ask. Thor speaks up " We heard that lady Rose was injured and brought here. So we thought we would come and see if she is ok." he says. I sigh. " Yes, she is fine. She just over worked herself. Stubborn as always." I say, looking back at her. She was breathing evenly and some of her color had returned to her face. " Well, since she is fine, we'll leave you alone." Clint says, leaving the room with Thor in tow. I look at Natasha. " Why are you here?" Nat simply shrugs her shoulders. I shake my head. I look at Pepper, to find her looking at me. She gives me a pointed look and raises an eye brow. I sigh, knowing exactly what she is trying to tell me. It's almost time.
                             Before I can think to much longer on it, Rose starts to wkae up. I watch her. She shifts her legs and almost kicks me. She then moves her head a bit. I find it funny. It looks like the movements of a snake. She finally opens her eyes. She smiles up at Pepper. Then she becomes really  confused. She looks around the room. Her eyes land on me. I'm about to say something but she looks away to Natasha. I follow her gaze. Natasha Is sitting on the edge of her seat with a concerned look on her face. That shocks me because Natasha NEVER looks concerned for anyone. Rose looks back at me. "What did I do this time?" she asks. I just laugh.
