Everything | (Natasha Romanoff X Reader)

Part 3 | Chapter 9

Y/N

I woke up to the sounds of shouting.

"I can't believe you fucking knew!"

"She made me promise I wouldn't say!" Wanda replied, her voice slightly trembled.

"And you, peter, you're her brother and you didn't think to say anything? We could have helped her!" Natasha's voice echoed around the room.

"She didn't want anyone to worry!" I heard Peter reply.

"Fuck sake." Natasha grumbled.

"Okay, everyone take a breather, i can tell caps tense over there with all the swearing." Tony tried to joke but it didn't work.

I slowly opened my eyes, to see wires and needles attaching me to different machines.

"Can't believe she didn't tell me." Natasha huffed.

"Well you know now?" Tony smirked and the sound of the chair sliding against the floor hurt everyone's ears as Natasha got up to get him.

"Hey, hey it was a joke. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Tony backed away and put his arms up in surrender.

"Please don't kill him." I mutter, alerting everyone I was awake.

Natasha was the first one at my side, followed by Wanda, Tony, Peter and Steve. They all crowded around me.

"Is now a bad time to tell you I may have new powers?" I try to shift the tension from all the death glares I was receiving.

"How you feeling?" Steve smiled and I looked at my arms, covered in wires.

"Could be better. But I feel safe like this." I mumble.

"Safe?" Peter questioned.

"If I wasn't like this right now, I think I would be killed by my own girlfriend." I try joke but don't get an approving look from anyone.

"Look, i'm sorry guys! I just didn't want any of you to be in danger." I admit, as everyone looks at me.

"So instead you put your fucking self in danger." Natasha waved her arms around as she slumped into the chair besides the bed, arms crossed.

"That's better than you lot." I shrug and Natasha rolls her eyes.

"What? You would rather everyone here, put in danger, to help stop some bad guys that I can deal wth on my own?" I scoff.

"Yeah, then there's a better chance of you being safe!" Natasha shouted.

"If by me being safe puts the people I love in danger, then I don't want it!" I shout back and Natasha scoffs.

"Hey guys, um, did I show you my new... cactus?" Tony asks the others.

"Cactus?" Peter asks confused.

"No, I don't think you did." Wanda shakes her head.

"Show us." Steve adds on as he pushes a confused peter out the room, leaving me and Nat alone.

"Tasha..." I begin, whispering.

"No. You don't understand how mad I am at you right now." She gets up and paces around the lab.

"Mad? You're mad at me? For wanting to protect you!" I defend myself.

"In the most stupid way! This is Hydra we are talking about, Y/n, god knows what else that serum could be doing to you!" Natasha snaps at me.

"They pointed a gun at Peter's fucking head, Natasha, there was no other choice!" I shout. The team, peter an may were the only family I have left, no way was I going to let any of them suffer just to help me. I would rather one goes and the rest live more than all of us, for gods sake.

"And you and Peter should have spoken to us about it straight away! Instead of you getting in a fight and then teleporting into a fucking wall! Do you know how it feels to have the person you trust and care about most, keep one of the most biggest secrets from you?" She shouts back.

"This is different Nat! Who knows what Hydra would do to the team if we all got involved, at least if it's just me no one else gets hurt!" I shout back, my anger and emotions rising.

"No one gets hurt? Are you crazy? Did you ever think how I would feel if I lost you because of Hydra and this serum? I don't know what I would do with myself if you die, your the person I care about most! If you go, my whole world crashes down. Did that ever cross your mind?" Natasha points at me, keeping her tears from escaping.

"I thought about what would happen if I was the reason you died. If MY past and MY shit life got involved with yours and caused it to end. I can't fucking loose you, tasha, if you go, I go, simple. So yes, it did cross my mind, but I always see you as this strong, brave woman. Yes, I know exactly how you would feel, it scares me every day thinking about the fact I may loose you, especially with the jobs we have. But I would rather my life, than yours, or the rest of the team, or my fucking brother." I spit, my emotions hurting my head as I stared at my girlfriend.

"You're an idiot. All I want to do is help you, can't you see? I want to protect you and keep you as close to me as possible, shielding you from all the awful things our crazy lives have to offer. You either let me help you or I go. I'm not going to stand here and watch you risk your life, refusing the help your friends, no family! want to give you." Natasha huffs, dropping her hands to her side, tilting her head while looking at me.

I rip the needles and wires off my body, get out of the bed and walk over to her so we were face to face. She was still in her beautiful dress from the party, clearly not have left my side since then, yet her hair was slightly ruffled and she had small bags under her eyes. All this and she still looked like the most beautiful woman in the world.

"I'm sorry, tasha, I can't let you help me. These guys from Hydra, they know me, they know how to bring me down. If you get involved, it's more leverage for them. I can't loose you, I can't. But please don't go, I promise i'll be safe. I just want you to stay by me." I sniff, tears slowly rolling down my face as I take her hands in mine.

"I can't watch you put yourself in danger like that, i really can't, Y/n." She mumbled, looking down at our hands laced together instead of me. We both let out a small sob, and she looks at me. Her beautiful green eyes met mine.

"I love you, but you're stupid. If you go out there, go against them alone, you may not come back." She mumbled, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"I'd rather me than you, nat. I love you too much to let you go against these guys. I have to do it." I rub my thumb against her hand. She leans forward and gives me a small peck on the lips, then pulls away, but not too far, leaving her forehead to rest on mine.

"You're an asshole." Natasha said, before her hands left mine and she walked out the lab.

(A/N) I'm meant to be revising for an important exam I have tomorrow, but i'm to stressed and wanted to finish writing this chapter! I've updated a few times this week because I have litro given up on school, so expect chapters more regularly! Yay
