What if Natasha had a Daughter?

Chapter 3 - The plan

Wanda Pov:

I woke up without Natasha. I figured she might not have slept well. I sighed and went for a shower before I put on clothes and went downstairs to find most of the avengers already eating breakfast. Steve made pancakes.

"Good morning," I said to everyone before grabbing a plate with pancakes.

"Good morning Wanda" Everyone else greeted me before I sat next to Natasha. She didn't say anything, due to the fact that she was lost in thoughts. I was worried and wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her closer as I sat down so I could hold her without making it uncomfortable for her that the others saw it.

"Good morning little spider" ,I whispered to her ear before giving her a soft kiss, "Were you able to get some sleep?"

"Yeah, thank you." Natasha returned a kiss to my cheek before we both turned back to breakfast.

After breakfast we all went to the meeting room where Tony waited for us with Fury.

Yelena Pov:

I noticed that Natasha wasn't herself. She must have nightmares again, otherwise I couldn't explain.

For others, she's just the tough Black widow that saves the world. But underneath all of it. She still fights a fight on her own.

We all took our places around the table as Tony cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. Now we will find out more about Alex... I will finally safe her... I will keep my promise...

Wanda Pov:

Tony spoke up: "Most of you are probably wondering why I called for an early meeting...", everyone nodded waiting for the explanation, but Fury took the word.

"Stark was able to access the red room data system for a short amount of time... it wasn't enough to find out their location, but it was enough time to transfer two files..."

I noticed Natasha picking her skin under the table. Nobody except Clint, Yelena, Fury and I notice these things or knew about them. I held her over my hand for her to fidget with. I purposely put on rings with a turning ring in the center so she could turn them to calm herself while Fury continued.

"One file consists of useless data, but Friday is still scanning through it. While the second file contained a mission. A target... or better said... two..."

Yelena pov:

What did he mean by that? I noticed Natasha tense up just a tiny bit, not noticeable for someone who doesn't look at those things, as if she knew what was happening, but I didn't understand. "Please elaborate Fury, I don't understand..."

"Black wolf's next targets... are Natasha and Yelena...", Fury explained as his gase fell.

I froze in horror. I snapped out as I noticed Natasha jump up and walk out. She showed no expression. Oh no.

Natasha pov:

It can't be. Why now? Why exactly now?

Draykov's voice rang in my head again... ai just had to leave. I didn't allow myself to break down.

I stormed out of the meeting room and went to the training room. And immediately started to box the bag without having wrapped my knuckles. I punched harder and harder. slowly falling back in flack backs. A tear ran down my face as I muttered: "I have no place in the world..."

Wanda pov:

I tried to go after her, but Yelena grabbed my arm and stopped me.

"Let her calm down first", Yelena whispered. And I knew she was right. I sat back down as Fury continued.

"Our plan is to use the fact to advantage that they know we have the files... we will transport Yelena and Natasha to a "safe house". But we will all be ready for Black wolf if he comes to kill them or capture them." Fury explained. We all nodded and were all in. Now the only one missing is Natasha to agree.

After the meeting, I went to the training room to find Natasha boxing the punching back without having wrapped her hands. Her knuckles were bleeding and she was muttering: "I have no place in the world" over and over again. I rushed to her and stopped her. "Stop Natasha! You're safe! Stop hurting yourself! You're not there!"

She was struggling against me. She was too deep in everything. She yelled: "I have no place in the world!"

Natasha POV:

I was trapped back in my fourteen year old self. I was training with Madame B... she wouldn't let me rest... my knuckles were burning and bleeding... my blood dripping to the floor... but she kept pushing me until she was satisfied...

She talked me down: "You've become weak since the pregnancy... and the birth..."

I kept punching... harder and harder... I knew she was right...

Then I had to fight a man...

She spoke up again: "Playing vulnerable is never an option... you've become soft... but soon you will have the ceremony... then you'll find your place in the world..."

I was injured and hurt. "I have no place in the world..." I muttered.

She said: "Again, but speak up"

I repeated: "I have no place in the world"

Madame B slapped me: "Louder!"

I screamed: "I have no place in the world!"

Madame B nodded: "Exactly... now leave... The ceremony will start shortly..."

I was taken... and brought to the lab... I remember everything... until I blacked out...

Wanda POV:

Natasha wouldn't stop to injure herself. So I used my powers to make her sleep...

I picked her up and brought her out our bedroom. I laid her on our bed before going to our bathroom and grabbing the first aid kit. As I came back, I cleaned her swollen, bruised and bleeding knuckles before wrapping them. I then cuddled her close, waiting for her to wake up.

I never saw her in such a shape in a long time... but she's more unpredictable about her panic attack, flashback and nightmares when her daughter's birthday comes up. And now that the red rooms best assassin is on the way for her, her stress levels must've gone to overdrive.

Natasha pov:

I felt like a bus had hit me. I blinked open my eyes and realised I was in our bedroom. And noticed Wanda holding me.

"Bunny?" I tried to move but was soon met with a painful stinging feeling of my knuckles... I looked at my hand and noticed that my knuckles were patched up.

"What happened?" I asked confused.

"You had a bad flashback episode... I'm deeply sorry, but I had to use my magic to put you to sleep..." she said. And I knew she was genuine. She hated to use her magic on my mind. Especially because of a threat from Yelena. She had to experience years of mind control from the red room and doesn't wish me the same. And Wanda doesn't want that either.

"It's okay Bunny... I know you meant it well..." she held me tight and I wrapped my arms around her how I was used to it... I was always the spoon. I kissed her forehead before I asked: "What is the plan?..."

"The plan is to take advantage of the fact that they know that we have the files... they will transport you and Yelena to a fake safe house where we will hide you. But it will be a trap for the Black Wolf..." she explained.

"That's a good plan... but what if something goes wrong?..." I asked in concern.

Wanda resured me: "I'll be there and blast the Black Wolf away. I will not let them hurt you... or let them take you back there. I promise..."
