Hayden POV


Pietro looked worried.

"What is it Princess?" He asked cupping my cheek with his hand.

"Pietro I need to tell you something.." I said

He looked at me worried.

"It's about the creature..." I said

"The Gator man." He said in his accent

I smiled

"Is that what were calling it?" I said

"That's not important.." He said brushing some of my hair out of my face.

"What is wrong princess?' He said

I guid him to sit on the bed next to me.

"I've been keeping something from you.." I said ashamed of it almost

"I've been struggling with the thought of what happened that night I faced the creature." I said as I looked at my hands that were balled up on top of my thighs.

Pietro placed one of his hands on top of my one balled up hand.

"Talk to me.." He said

I looked at him. he looked so worried.

"I've faced HYDRA. my sperm donor and medusa many times. common thugs. gangs. I have almost died on many occasions. I was poisoned. I've gone to darkest of places." I said

"I remember.." He said

"None of it ever scared me. Not like this." I said

"But this.. This.." I said looking up at him.

"This did." He said

I nodded.

"Not the fear of dying at the hands of some creature. but never seeing you again." I said looking at him

"Oh princess this is normal. I felt the same way." He said cupping my face.

"I think about it every day. that is why is worries me for you to go back out there." He said pressing his forehead against mine

I smiled as our foreheads were pressed together.

That quickly he stood up. taking my hand.

"Come. I've got just the thing." He said

He picked me up bridal style and rushed us up to the roof which was lit up by lights. it was dark. the moon was full lighting the roof also.

"Do you remember that night in paris?" He said setting me down on my feet pulling me close. one hand on my hip while the other was laced with my fingers.

"Yes. the night you taught me how to dance. Even though I insisted I knew how. " I said smiling

He nodded

"And the song we danced to." He said pulling me closer

I nodded

"FRIDAY play Till we ain't strangers anymore." Pietro said

"Of course sir." FRIDAY said

The song started playing.

And Pietro started moving us on the dance floor. so smoothly like he always does.

He twirls me in a circle only to pull me close again.

I laid my head on his shoulder as we continued to dance.

"Very smooth.." I mumbled

"Did it work?" He asked

I smiled

"Yeah.." I said





Nat POV


I was watching the monitors watching Hayden and Pietro smiling ear to ear.

They certainly have changed. watching her be in complete bliss as he sweeps her off her feet.

"What you smiling at?" Clint said

I nodded towards the screen.

"It's hard to believe that's the same angry teen you adopted." I said

Clint sits next to me.

"I know..." He said

I looked over at him.

"You know she's going to be alright." I said

"I know. but it's just so hard to.." He began

"Let someone else have her." I said chuckling

He nodded.

"Even though we adopted her. she's still my daughter.." He said watching sadly

"And she always will be." I said patting his shoulder

He smiled nodding
