Y/n POV

Natasha and Tony lead me into a large store packed with clothing, shoes, toys, decorations, and more. Nat was there because she was going to help me shop, you know girl to girl. Tony on the other hand I have no idea why he came but I enjoy his company.

Nat gently pulls me over to some ripped jeans and starts estimating my size while Tony grabs an Iron man shirt and tosses it at me. I walk into the changing room and come out wearing a pair of skinny jeans and a blue long sleeve shirt. They smiled and gave me a thumbs up indicating that the clothes fit and looked good.

We walked out the store and walked into the library next door, Tony was arguing with one of the employees about which science book was better, Nat was looking at some hand-to-hand combat books, while I looked at everything.

By the time Nat had got bored with the book and grabbed Tony, I had a pile of books in my arms. I had 3 random books, 4 Norse Mythology books, and 3 combat books. We stopped at a small cafe where we ordered coffee then headed back to the tower.

They helped me carry everything to my room and then left me to unpack. I put my new books on my bookshelf and the decorations on my desk, then started emptying the bags filled with clothes. After it was all emptied out I started sorting and taking tags off all the clothes. I stashed jeens, shorts, sweat pants, pj’s, and undergarments into the dresser drawers then started hanging up shirts.

I look at the two shirts that still lay on my bed and smile. One had an Iron man helmet and the other had a blackwidow hourglass, now all I need are the others. I hang them up separate from the rest then close my little closet doors.

“Miss Y/n, the team requests you for dinner.” Jarvis startles me

“Ok thanks Jarvis” I replied then walked out of my room locking it behind me.

“Hey sleeping beauty! We have a chair over here for you!” Tony announced as I walked through the elevator door. I see everyone sitting at the table and notice a certain raven haired, green eyed, pale skinned man sitting at the end of the table.

“Thank you” I say as I sit down between Thor and Steve, which feels weird because of how small I am. I am sitting in the last empty chair that seems to be the farthest away from him, almost like everyone sat that way for a reason. I push my thoughts down while I look at the food and wait until everyone is done grabing what they want.

“Lady Y/n, aren't you going to eat?” Thor tried to ask quietly but failed miserably. Now everyone was looking at me waiting for an answer.

“Y-yes, I w-was just waiting until you all finished” I say with a quiet voice and then stared at my hands.

“Why?” Bruce asks me

“W-well I-I Y-you know what, I’m not hungry anymore” I say quietly as I get up and run to the elevator. Steve gets up and jogs after me but I tell Jarvis to close the door. Once I get to my floor I run into my room and lock the door behind me.

Natasha’s POV

I watch as Y/n runs out the room with Steve following behind. A couple minutes later Steve walks in empty handed.

“Well what was that about?” Clint who is sitting next to me asks.

“I’m not sure. She was fine all day.” I say trying to hide my worry.

“We haven't gotten her to talk about what happened to her yet.” Tony says sadly

“I could” A voice from the end of the table speaks up.

“Absolutely not! There was a reason why her chair was all the way over here! If you go anywhere near her I will throw you off this tower giving that you can’t teleport now with that on!” Tony yells, sounding like an overprotective father while pointing to the cuffs on Loki's wrist. Loki just glares at him but doesn’t argue or look threatened. I stand up and start heading to the elevator.

“Where are you going?” Bruce asks

“I’m going to go talk to her while y'all bicker” I say as the elevator door closes. I feel the elevator ascend then stop. I step out and walk over to her door.

“Y/n? It’s Nat, I just wanted to see if you were ok and wanted to talk.” I pause “And if you were hungry” I hear the door unlock and see her step aside to let me in. As soon as she closed and locked the door she attached herself to my waist and started silently crying. I hug her and pull her closer, trying to comfort her. After about 10 minutes later, she started to calm.

“He didn’t like it when I ate while he was eating, so I always waited until he was done then ate what was left.” She says quietly. I rub her back while she starts shaking.

“He never liked me period… When I was little my parents died from a break in. I was then adopted by a man… big like Thor, he never told me his name and I never asked. At first he tolerated me but as I grew older he started drinking more, yelling more, and hitting more.” I tightened as she said that and she noticed.

“I’m sorry, I should not burden you with my problems-”

“You are not burdening me. Don’t ever say that again… I’m listening.” she stays quiet

“I promise you it will feel better once you talk to someone.” I reassure her. She hesitated but then continued

“He was always drunk and always yelling. One day he was so angry he started hitting me anywhere but my face, but It only started with hitting then escalated to whipping, his favorite is a black punk belt with little metal spikes sticking off of it. He threatened that if I ever told anyone or made a noise, he would beat me to death. I did what I was told for my safety.” She finishes then starts crying silent tears again.

The only thing I could do was hold her in my arms and comfort her the best I can.
