Trouble in paradise

Dating Steve was something completely new for Natasha. Sure, she had been with men before but she wouldn't have called those guys her boyfriends. But she guessed Steve was now her boyfriend after he sheepishly asked her after their fourth date if he could call her his girl. Her first instinct was to say that she didn't belong to anyone but she knew that Steve didn't want to own her but just wanted to know where this thing between them was heading. Seven weeks later she was still surprised that he had found the courage to ask her on a date and she was even more surprised that she had said immediately yes.

But things changed between them since they started dating. She loved the changes in their private life, cuddling on the couch watching movies, holding hands, being able to kiss Steve whenever she wanted and her personal favourite was to wake up next to him in the morning.

But she didn't particularly like the changes in their professional life. It seemed now that Steve would always make sure that she was out of any possible danger during missions. Really, it didn't matter if she was there with them or sitting somewhere drinking a cocktail. Did Steve suddenly forget that she was the Black Widow?!

Like right now. While the rest of the team was going up against HYDRA thugs who got their hands on Chituari weapons, she had to wait outside and guard the entrance. Steve ordered her to stay there to not let anyone escape and so far not one Nazi came running through that gate to meet her wrath. She was bored to no end while the other Avengers got to kick ass inside that warehouse. Look, she got that Steve wanted to look out for her but she wasn't some damsel in distress! She didn't need his fucking protection! She had been living this life far longer than he had!

Finally there was some movement! A car raced through the gate and she shot the tires to stop it while running towards it. Three men got out of the car taking something with them and tried to get away by foot. She followed them into another warehouse. One man tried to get a jump on her but she shot him as soon as she spotted him. Two to go.

She checked the first floor of the building but the two other HYDRA thugs were nowhere to be seen. She carefully walked up an old staircase and shot the second one before he could use his alien weapon on her.

She had no idea why Steve wanted her to keep her out of danger, she was clearly crushing it!

She walked over the wooden floor to find the last guy when she heard a loud crack coming from the wood. Uh oh! She wanted to shoot her Widow lines into the ceiling to save her from falling but it was already too late. The floor broke and she crashed down.

She blinked her eyes open to a panicked Steve who removed wooden planks that had buried her under them. Her head and back hurt and she was pretty sure she had broken her left ankle.

"Did you get the guy?" She asked hoarsely.

Steve ignored her question. "What were you thinking going after them alone?" He growled out while checking her body for wounds.

Excuse me? Why was he snapping at her? She had been following his fucking orders? "You told me to watch the fucking gate, Captain!" She spit out. "Three hostiles were fleeing with alien tech so I went after them!"

"Why didn't you call for back up!" He asked. "I would have come! You know that!"

She pushed his hands away when he checked her leg for broken bones. "I don't need you to hold my hand, Rogers! I've been doing this job far longer than you! I know what I'm doing!"

His jaw was set. "Really? You just fell 30 feet down! You could have broken your spine or worse!"

She originally wanted to tell him that she probably had broken her ankle but there was no way she was going to admit that now! When he was being such an ass! She sat up against the debris and crossed her arms. "There are always risks in our line of work. Just because we're dating doesn't give you the right to put me on the fucking bench! I can't believe you're using your position as leader to order me to stay out of danger!"
