Probably Panicking
There was nothing funny about the prank. At least not to you. Yelena and Sam were always a problematic combination at the best of times but lately the pranks have been getting a bit much, so you had been hiding out in your room. Trying your best not to be their next victim. But of course your lack of presence in the tower had drawn Tony’s attention at breakfast, and he had immediately regretted it when he saw the looks on the prank masters faces.
You had been happily snuggled up in bed watching tv and munching on the bowl of cereal wanda had brought you before she went to training and Nat was off on a run seeings it was Wednesday.
So it came as a surprise when the door to your room opened. Yelena was stood there grinning like a madman. Suddenly she tossed a handful of animatronic spiders into the room and shut the door. Normally this wouldn’t bother you and you would just leave, so you stood careful not to stand on any of Tony’s little side projects he loved so much. You made your way over to the door and tried the handle. It didn’t budge. Feeling your heart beat faster you tried it again. The sound of them laughing on the other side of the door was echoing through your skull. Banging on the door you yelled at them to let you out. There was no response. Turning around you threw your shoulder at the door, it didn’t move. Defeated you slide your back down the door as your breathing began to pick up.
The room was cold. Too cold for the summer heat you were sure had been there moments before. You knew this coldness. This was hydra, but not. You were back there again, but you weren’t. You knew you were in your room but part of you was screaming to run to hide that they were coming. You were locked up again. You choked down a scream that began to press your lungs. Your breathing was fast an ragged, too short and yet it felt like no real air was entering your lungs at all.
“Y/n?” Yelena calls through the door, your silence worrying her. “Y/n/n? Can i come in?” She asks starting to worry, if she broke you Nat and Wanda would have her head. “If i come in you better have clothes on.” She joked. There was a still no reply. Before she could open the door she heard someone clear their throat behind her. Yelena froze.
“Yel what are you doing?” Nat asked hands on her hips.
“I swear it was just a harmless prank.” Yelena said.
“What was harmless prank.” Nat grits out slowly.
“We just put fake spiders in there and held the door shut.” Sam said shuffling around a bit.
“YOU HELD THE DOOR SHUT?!” Nat screamed
“And now she’s not responding.” Yelena whispered quietly.
“Move. Now.” Nat said pushing her sister out of the way. Carefully she opened the door. When she saw you pressed against the wall rocking back and forth with your head between your knees, she swore. Every part of her wanted to rush to you, but she knew that would make it worse. Slowly she walked over and pulled you into her arms.
The door opened slightly as two faces peered in, using her foot nat slammed the door still angry, she felt you flinch in her arms.
“Shh shhh shhh its ok, baby i need you to breathe with me. Come on.” She used her hand to guide your palm to her chest to feel her heart. Exaggerating her breathing to help you.
“Jarvis?”
“Yes Ms Romanoff.”
“Get wanda up here now.”
“Right away Ms. Romanoff.”
She held you tight trying to ground your shaking form as you continued to struggle to breathe. You were beginning to feel light headed. As if you could float away. Unsure of how much time had passed you heard wanda enter.
“Nat what happened?” She asked rushing to your side.
“My stupid sister locked her in our room as a prank.” She said still trying to slow your breathing.
“Baby. Y/n/n sweetheart i need you to breathe with me.” Wanda said. Tears were streaming down your face as wanda brushed them away with her thumb.
“Shit. Its not working, do you think you can carry her to the shower nat or do you want me to?”
“The shower?” Nat asked screwing up her face.
“Yes. It should help bring her out of it and ground her.” Wanda explained “it worked for my brother when he was like this.”
“Ok if you think it will help. I could also use one myself that run was pretty intense.”
Carefully they scooped you up, wanda used her magic to help remove your clothes and nat took off her running gear.
Holding you in her arms Nat turned on the water and you shivered as it hit your skin. You felt yourself begin to calm down.
“That’s it baby. Breathe. Just like that. Such a good girl. Your doing so well my love.” Nat cooed running her hands through your wet hair.
After a few more minutes your breathing was under control and you smiled weakly at nat.
After the shower wanda dried you off with a big fluffy towel wrapping you in your comfort clothes and carrying you over to the bed. You were still shaking slightly as you nuzzled into her side.
“Go to sleep love you must be exhausted.” Wanda said, running her hands through your hair.
“Where’s natty?” You asked half asleep.
“I think she went to talk to Yelena. Don’t worry they wont be bothering you again.”
“Don’t let her be too mean she didn’t know.” You said with your eyes closed.
“Yes but she made you feel bad and Natty’s gonna make sure she learns a lesson and doesn’t ever have it happen again my sweet. Go to sleep and don’t worry about it.”
“Ok.” You said too tired to fully process or protest what was happening.
Wanda smiled to herself as you dozed off and she heard yelling down the hall.
“You know she was at hydra honestly could you be more oblivious some times Sestra”
Wanda chuckled, knowing you needed her more she stayed by your side. Just like she promised she would. Whilst nat defended you and wanda kept you safe you knew life would be ok.
