Natasha pov

"You really should get some sleep Natasha, you've barely slept in weeks" Wanda says, bringing me back to reality. "You have to accept the possibility that she might be gone"

"NO, i will not accept that, not again" i snap at her and she looks hurt. I know she only wants what's best for me. "Wands, i'm sorry. But i owe her my life countless times over, i just feel powerless" she hugs me and it's exactly what pushes me over the edge to let those tears start streaming. The only thing that has kept me from the inevitable breakdown, has been the looking. The pointless searching that leads to nowhere.

"I know, but what would she say if she saw you know huh?" i just slightly laugh at the thought of what she would say. In fact, it's not that hard to imagine at all.

Flashback - 12 years

"Natalia Alianovna Romanova, what the hell are you doing?" Armana says in caring anger as she enters my 'bedroom'. "You're so damn stubborn that i hate you for it. You can't just stop taking care of yourself just because i'm not there. You can't go days without sleeping, food or fucking taking a shower. You can't pick up random fights with the other widows " her voice could count as screaming now. Closing the door behind her, she makes her way to bow down to my level on the floor. Lucky us there are no cameras here.

"He electrocuted you and you were gone for six months, no one knew where you where" i sob and she puts her hands to cup my face.

"You have to learn how to take care of yourself and stop counting on me. I'm not going to be here forever and you know that, so you have to stand on your own, stand on your own legs without me as you croutch"

"I can't do this without you, please never leave again"

"If things were different i would promise, but this is going to happen again and you can't let go of yourself. I love you and i don't know what i would do if i were the reason i never got to see you again. Which means you need to take care of the thing i love most, you"

End of flashback

"Just get some sleep" Steve says from the door frame but as i stand up from the desk chair, i can barely stand at the loss of energy. Steve instead picks me up bridal style and carries me back to my bedroom, lying me down on the cold sheets. Sheets i haven't slept in since she was next to me. As soon as my head lands on one of the pillows the sweet darkness of sleep draws in down.


Wanda pov

"I don't think Nat is going to be such a resort on these missions" i start and no one disagrees with me. Everyone has seen how she is, since Y/n got taken. "Neither is Bucky" and everyone starts to disagree. But i know i'm right this time too.

"You've got to be kidding me Wanda, i'm not some grieving human here" Bucky defends himself by distancing himself but i shake my head.

"But maybe you need to be Buck, she is your twin sister and is most certainly dead right now"

"You don't know that for sure" Tony says and everyone looks at him in shock. He disliked both Bucky and y/n as soon as she came here. And it's not a secret. "If there's one thing i know about girl Barnes is that she's not dead. I mean come on, how do you think she's still alive after all this time?" he asks as if he knows something. What did the two of them talk about in the car before the attack?

"Tony, do you know something about lady Y/n that the rest of us should know?" Thor asks and i look at Steve who's just quiet. "Then you should tell us... now" the heat in the room is interrupted by an alarming FRIDAY.

"I'm sorry for interrupting but there is a man fire about a mile outside of the city"

"What do you mean by man fire?" Clint asks and i'm surprises me how long it's taken him to speak. I mean, it's Natasha we were talking about. And he suddenly had nothing to say to when he sees his best friend like this. I might not have been here long but i know for a fact that Natasha Romanoff isn't big on showing emotions.

"A literal human fire Mr Barton" the AI answers as we all look at each other for an explanation of what hell is happening. In this case i guess we can't have both of them on the sidelines.

"Suit up" Steve says as he runs down the hall to get his suit while i just casually flick my wrist and my suit comes on. First thing Nat taught me is, always be ready for an emergency. Like this one, but what the hell? A human fire. What is that supposed to mean? Started by humans or built on humans. I guess we'll have the answer soon enough.

"FRIDAY notify Natasha where we are in case she wakes up before we can return, but don't wake her up. She needs the rest" i say before exiting the elevator to step onto the jet.


Tony pov

"Is that what i think it is?" Clint asks as we move towards the big burning pile. Only the stench tells us the answer to that.

"Wanda, Clint search the buildings for any survivors. Thor and Tony search the skies for someone alive while me and Bucky try to put out the fire." Cap says and there the order is given. We split up, and i being looking around for anyone alive close to the mountain of dead people that gives me chills.

"We have movement on the north side" i say in the comms before descending to the ground. There is a girl, i think, leaning over someone on the ground. Gradeling a dead body. As i begin to close in, she begins to strike a familiar bell. The h/c hair, the pale skin and the ripped clothes.

"Ma'am, can you turn around for me please" i say in my most friendly and professional voice, for this happening to her might not be the best for an unfriendly voice to greet her. As the girl stands up the man she was gradling falls to the ground with blood all over him. But as she turns around i see why she was so familiar. Besides the blood all over her and her face, the cracks under her eyes and the darkened blood eyes i can see Y/n.

"Guys, we might have a bigger problem. I think Clint was right" i say as she starts to slowly walk towards me.

"What?"

"What do you mean i was right?"

"What's the bigger problem?"

"It's Y/n and i'm pretty sure she's a vampire" i answer all their questions and there's a dead silence before she jumps towards ame and clutch herself to my suit. I try to fly up but she's dragging me down, before i crash with her one, an electric surge goes through my suit and paralyses her. No one tries to catch her as she falls to the ground, sparks over her fingertips. As she hits the ground a hole is created, but she doesn't move as her face goes back to normal. The crask fades into her eyes that become bright red again. Brighter than ever before. Which i don't want to guess why, even though i probably know.

"What the hell Tony" someone says but i can't take my gaze off her. The blood around her mouth that's not hers.

"What are we gonna tell Natasha?" her bright red eyes flicker as she's trying to stay conscious.

"Do you think she knows what she is?" but she fail and fall under but with a last glace to me. She mouths a word that i can't quite understand, at first. But then it hits me, the word is not a word but a name.

"Hydra" i mumble mostly to myself even though i'm sure everyone can hear me. This is not good, this is so bad. I hope that there is an off button or words, like Bucky has. Because otherwise this is going to end badly.
