Steve's POV

I felt for her, she seemed confused and scared but had to put in a brave face. I was her back when I was first injected with the super-soldier serum and when I woke up after being in the ice 70 years.
"Cap?"
"Hey America's ass you there?"
I snap out of my thoughts and turn to see Nat talking to me.
"Yeah sorry I was in my thoughts" I laughed off
"I saw, but anyway here are some of my clothes for y/n I thought she would like to change," Nat said giving a soft smile
"That's....thoughtful Nat but umm may I ask why?"
"She's like me in a way and if I was her I would want someone there for me," she says turning towards the two-way mirror
"I see," I say facing the glass
"Has she eaten? Cause when we were at dinner last night she barely touched her food"
"I don't think so"
"Okay I'll be right back," Nat says as she walks away
A few minutes later Nat comes back with a tray that has sliced apples with peanut butter, a Panera cup Mac n cheese, goldfish, a Capri Sun, and water.
"She's not 5 you know?" I say laughing a bit
"I know but what if she's a picky eater and if so I've never seen a kid turn this down, so hopefully she'll eat something"
"Okay well, I don't think I have enough hands to carry all this, wanna help?"
"Steve, I can hold my phone, a water bottle, a pack of gum, a pen, earbuds, and a gun in one hand at the same time"
"How?!"
"Simple, people don't like to put pockets in women's clothing"
I laughed then walked over to the door
"Ladies first," I say opening the door
We walk in and see Y/n curled up on her side in the lab bed.
"Hey, Y/n? Do you remember me? I'm Natasha and this is my friend, Steve"
Y/n slowly turned to face us and sat up a little bit but still being cautious as she pulled her knees up to her chest.
"Umm we bought some clothes for you to change into if you'd like," I say awkwardly passing the clothes to her
"Thank you, is there anywhere I can change?" Y/n says numbly
"Oh yes there's a bathroom right here," Nat says pointing to the door left of where we were standing

Y/n turned and got out of bed and headed towards the bathroom, not before we could notice her bruised and scraped up legs and arms as she walked in and closed the door behind her.
As soon as we heard the door click Nat quickly turned to me.
"Oh my goodness, did you see her legs and arms?!" Nat harshly whispered to me with a look of worry on her face
"Nat she's okay, she's in a safe place now remember?"

As soon as I say that we hear the door open and turn around to see Y/n.
"It's not as bad as it looks" Y/n days bluntly
"Oh, we weren't..." I start to say before she cut me off
"I saw both of your guys' eyes pop out of your heads when I walked to the bathroom"
"That doesn't matter right now but we brought food for you since I know you haven't eaten" Nat cuts in saving my ass
"Oh thank you but I already ate and I'm not hungry anyway," Y/n says lying
"No, you haven't I know cause I've been here since you woke up," I say as I see Y/n's face change to panic since she had been caught
"I uh," Y/n says stuttering
"Hey it's okay it's lunchtime anyway, we can have lunch with you and we can watch a movie. How about that?" Nat asked Y/n

Y/n just nodded her head, I rolled in the portable flat screen into the room and Nat brought lunch in too. After we got set up I asked the big question.

"So what movie do you want to watch?"
"I don't care up to you," Y/n said softly
"How about the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe?" Nat asked
"What is that?" I questioned
Both Y/n and Natasha's faces whipped towards me
"You've never seen The lion, the witch, and the wardrobe?!" They both said at the same time
"No..." I say quietly in fear of making 2 women mad
"We're watching it! No, if's and's or but's" Nat started.

Y/n POV

After being handed clothes for me to change into I chose to change cause honestly I felt gross and I wanted to look decent. As I started to stand up and walk towards the bathroom to change I felt their eyes upon me, I expected it to be honest. I shut the door once I got in the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror.
"Wow, I look beat up,"
I look at the clothes that were given to me, a white Nike sports bra, a plain dark green long sleeve shirt, grey sweatpants with the Avengers logo on the lower right pant leg, a pair of socks, and underwear.
I change and try to comb my hair out with my hands as much as possible until I give up and decide to ask Natasha for a brush and hair ties.
"Hey, do you have a brush and hair ties at all?"
I knew they were talking about me cause they weren't doing it quietly.
"Oh yes let me go get you some!" Nat said sweetly
Nat left, and Steve and I just stood there awkwardly, waiting.
"Here you go," Nat said as she gave me a hairbrush and a pack of hair ties
"Thank you," I say before walking back to the bathroom to do my hair.
I finally chose to do Dutch braids on my hair after taking forever to decide what I was going to, I walk out of the bathroom when I was done and sat on the bed I was laying in before after blunting saying that I caught them looking at my bruises while I was walking into the bathroom before.
They brought me food. I tried to convince them that I already ate and wasn't hungry. That didn't work, but I can't blame them one was a professional spy and one was a hard ass in the shape of a Dorito.
We ended up watching the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe while all eating lunch, I ate half of my food which I was okay with because I didn't feel judged while eating with them. I felt almost happy, it was like I was a part of a family and we were in the living room having a movie night having fun.
"No, y/n they're just doing this cause they feel bad for you" -negative part of your mind
"No, they're not"
"Yes they are, they think you weak"- negative mind
A Constant battle with myself, A switch I can never turn off no matter how hard I try, it sucks.
