A nightmare becomes a dream
You and Clint carried Nat back to the jet after the altercation with Scarlet Witches powers. Nat was a wreck and it broke your heart, not that you let anyone know that. Nat was still completely out of it when you were on your way to where ever Clint was taking you all. You couldn’t help it, you had to help Nat, she was the worst affected she wasn’t talking. She wouldn’t even look at the others. She was completely withdrawn within herself.
You knew what Scarlet Witch had done, she had done it to you. You knew by using your powers you could help Natasha, even a little bit. You undid your seat belt and walked over to her, no one noticed or so you thought. Natasha’s eyes didn’t see you when you kneeled down in front of her, she didn’t even look up when you placed two fingers against her temple.
You used your powers to make her feel warm, to make her feel not alone. You used your powers to show her how you see her, you showed her some of the things you thought about her. You could feel some resistance “come on Nat, let yourself feel” you muttered as you pushed the over whelming self-loathing you felt in her to one side. In that moment everything she had felt from the vision and even before that, left her. She felt weird though, as she eventually came out of her daze she realised you were sitting next to her, looking down in thought. She felt an unfamiliar warmth, she felt like there was a place from her somewhere in this world and she was certain this feeling had something to do with you. Or at least she hoped.
She got a shower when she arrived at Clint’s house. You had a tea party with Lila, before her mom told her to go and tidy her room. After that you went for a walk to the forest just next to the field on the farm.
Natasha got out of the shower and dried off, Clint knocked on the door before he entered, Laura by his side. “Hey Nat” he said as he leaned against the door, “You were pretty shaken up until (y/n) did that mental stuff”.
“It was (y/n) who dragged me out of there” Nat responded pointing to her head.
“Yeah” Clint said “ (y/n) knelt down in front of you and touched your temple”. Nat couldn’t stop the smile that came to her face, those feelings had been you. Her smile faded slightly as she remembered Clint and Laura were in the room. Clint and Laura caught each other’s eyes and Clint left before Laura sat next to her.
“You like (y/n) don’t you?” Laura said.
“Yes” Nat said looking down at her lap.
“Then go talk to them, tell them” Laura said “(y/n)’s on their way to the forest, you can probably catch up with them” Laura said before getting up and leaving.
Nat looked at herself in the mirror, and thought for a brief moment. You deserve better than her, she thought. But you were always a little bit different around her, you used your powers to help her and only her. She had to know how you feel and with that she pulled on her shoes and raced out the door.
“Hey (y/n) wait up” she yelled as she ran across the field. You were just about to enter the forest when you herd her. You stopped and waited for her, kind of happy she seemed like her normal self.
“Hey Tasha” you said as she pulled level with you.
“Hey yourself, where about you heading” she said as the two of you proceeded into the woods.
“I have no idea, I just kind of like the way the leaves look at this time of year” You glanced at her, surprised to see her looking at you as you walked together “What about you?” you asked. What you hadn’t told her was that you only liked the colour of the autumn leaves as they matched her hair.
“I was looking for you actually” she said as she came to a stop under an oak tree. You stopped with her, god she was probably annoyed that you went into her head. “I was wondering what you did in my head to make me feel better”. Crap Nat thought, why can’t I tell her I like her.
You shifted awkwardly for a second, before you looked into her eyes. You had herd people describe her eyes as cold, but you only ever saw warmth. Before you could say anything, you felt her sweet lips on yours. You kissed back, your hands finding their way to her luscious red hair, her arms pulling you closer to her.
You eventually pulled apart, but not completely. You foreheads rested against one another, “You have no idea how long I have wanted to do that” Natasha said, her lips brushing against yours as she did, one of your hands slipped down from her hair to take her hand.
