Clintasha 5v1

Everyone

Hey guys, this is quite a short one, sorry but I was running out of creative juice. Hope you still enjoy it! I do not own Marvel or the characters.

All the other avengers were curious about Natasha and Clint's relationship at this point.

They argued like a married couple, fought like siblings, flirted like first lovers, and they talked like best friends. They all had secrets, but the master assassins had basically a whole other life put behind them. They all knew bits and pieces, but not enough to paint a clear picture of what actually entailed their previous childhoods.

Also, both the SHIELD agents were careful never to give away any information, no matter how much prying Tony did.

So eventually, they gave up trying to pry into their business. Well, Tony was still trying to hack into the SHIELD database to get their files, but with no luck. They were sealed tight.

It was a few weeks later before another incident occurred that made the avengers began to question their relationship again.

All six of them had retired to bed, except Tony and Bruce who were in the lab still. It was only around 1 am when a blood-curdling scream ripped through the hall of the avenger's tower.

Tony, Bruce, Steve, and Thor hurried to Natasha's room, after hearing the scream twice more.

Natasha was sat in the corner of her room, knees were drawn up close to her chest, head on her knees. The other avengers hurried over to her, calling her name softly.

But Natasha flinched away from them all, whimpering softly as she drew her knees closer to her chest.

"Tash?" Steve asked quietly, reaching a gentle hand over to touch her leg. But Natasha saw his hand coming and backed up even further against the wall.

Suddenly a crash sounded from behind them, they all formed a protective circle around Natasha. But when they looked around the room for the threat, all they found was the grate from the ceiling on the floor. Then Clint jumped out of the vent and landed perfectly. He pushed the others out of the way and crouched down by Natasha.

"I wouldn't touch her, she backs away even more," Tony muttered as Clint reached out slowly towards the crying assassin.

He muttered gently to her in Russian "все в порядке, любовь моя, все в порядке", he placed a tender hand on one of her arms and pulled it towards him slowly.

All the avengers watched in awe as he pulled her hand towards his chest, allowing her to feel something they could not see in the darkness. She visibly relaxed, but then started shaking as the flood of tears started to run down her face.

"Clint?" her voice was small and innocent.

"да, Nat да это я" his reply was just as small as hers.

"They took them, Clint, they took them" her voice was even shakier and she threw herself on Clint, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"No they didn't Nat, I promise".

"So sorry to interrupt, but what on this good earth are you talking about?!" Tony exclaimed.

Clint gave him a death stare as he wrapped his arms around the woman in front of him. "None of your business Stark, and even if it was, it's Natasha's choice whether or not to tell you anything".

Tony threw his arms up in surrender, his eyebrows raised.

"I think we'd better leave you now, it looks like you've got this under control" Steve looked touched by the show of affection between the two normally hard assassins but hurt that he could not have the same reaction as CLint, after all, he saw Natasha as a sister. The 4 avengers left the two agents on the floor of Natasha's room, still baffled as to why Natasha had screamed, and to what they were talking about.

They went back to their rooms and were left with their own thoughts, except Tony, who was hatching a plan to get some answers...
