Night Flight
“I can see why Clint loves it out here so much,” Natasha began as she sat down beside me on the back porch, looking up at the night sky with a wistful smile on her face. “The air is so much cleaner here. It’s quiet, peaceful. Plus you can really see the stars clearer out here than you can in the city.”
“You’re already starting to think like a country girl. Give it time and I’ll get you in pair of Daisy Dukes before we head to the big city.”
“You could get me in to a pair now if you really want to,” Nat breathed against my ear in a low sexy tone that sent shivers down my spine and heat to flush through certain parts.
I hopped up took in a few calming breaths before turning to face her, an innocent grin on her face. We haven’t known each other that long, but I already know innocent and Natasha Romanov do not go together. Rolling my eyes at her calm demeanor I took a look up and saw the moon was full. A few clouds were moving in, but you could still see the stars shining clearly. Nights like this are always perfect for some star light flying. Ever since I learned to fly that is.
Suddenly overcome with a desire to jump off and take a look at the town from up high, I fisted my hands and was about to head off when I remembered Natasha was here. Looking back at her, her head tilted in question, I smiled warmly at her and held out my hand to her. Natasha was confused but got up and took my hand, allowing me to pull her in close. She placed her hands on my shoulders and leaned in close, her lips brushing against mine in a soft sweet kiss.
“Do you trust me?” I asked softly.
“Absolutely,” she answered without hesitation.
“Hold on tight to me,” I told her. She moved her hands to link behind my neck while I wrapped my arms gently, but securely around her waist. Our eyes never left each other. We could feel the bond strengthen between us, allowing us to feel the warm, sweet caring thoughts we had towards each other in that moment.
Nat was so lost in it that she never realized we left the ground. The look on her face when she did…priceless. She let out a startled breath mixed in with what I assume were Russian exclamations or curses. My Russian is a little rusty, but I’m sure Nat will help me dust off my language skills.
“I’ve got you,” I assured her.
Nat relaxed, taking her glaring eyes off of me and looked down. We were over the house and high enough that you could see the barn and fields behind it. A slow amazed smile began pulling at her lips as she looked around the dark land below us, before casting her eyes up towards the stars. I couldn’t help but grin upon sensing her desire to go higher.
“Want to go back down?” I asked in a mock serious tone.
“What do you think?” Nat retorted smirking. I laughed and nodded my head then took us up higher.
“Shouldn’t you be doing this in your suit? What if someone sees us?”
“It’s dark and the house is far enough away that no one would see us even if they were looking.”
“Do this a lot, do you?” Nat questioned.
“Ever since I learned to fly. It’s become one of my favorite powers. It makes me feel so free and relaxed.”
“I can imagine,” Nat replied softly.
“Want to give it a try?”
“What?”
“Flying.”
“I can’t fly,” Nat reminded me.
“Still trust me?”
“Despite your sneaky maneuver there, distracting me with those baby blues and warm fuzzy feelings, I trust you completely, Kara,” Nat told me warmly, “You trusted me with your secret after only just meeting. I learned everything I needed to know about you in that moment.”
I smiled brightly and lovingly at her, leaning in and kissing her gratefully before resting my forehead against hers.
“Close your eyes and extend your arms out.”
Nat did as I instructed. I easily turned her around so her back was against my front, my arms hugging her around her waist keeping her as close to me as is physically possible. I straightened out and began flying us slowly across the sky.
“Open your eyes,” I whispered in her ear.
I could hear her breath catch. In our current position it was like she was the one flying and I was just a passenger on her back. The feeling of wonder and excitement I felt coming off her warmed my heart as I moved us a little faster, the air causing her hair to blow back.
“Higher,” she called out and I obliged, moving us through a few clouds on the way up.
A nice leisurely flight over Smallville is always nice. Having Natasha here with me just made it better. She kept her arms out like a bird on the wind, her head back and eyes closed, enjoying the feeling of the air against her skin and through her hair. I bent us left and moved up, then to the right and down. Going through some maneuvers that had her giggling like a little kid. The sound so sweet and beautiful to my ears.
I have a feeling she’s never had many fun, carefree moments like this growing up. So I was determined to let her enjoy this one for as long as possible. We must have circled the town a dozen times before I brought us back to earth, setting Natasha down first before my feet planted right beside her.
“That was amazing” Natasha stated.
“I’d take you up during the day tomorrow, but for that we’d have to dress for the occasion.”
“Might just be worth it,” Nat said, taking my hand and turning to the barn, “Come on.”
“Where we going?”
“Someplace a little more private where I can thank you properly,” Nat answered, once again using that sexy tone and adding a smirk to it.
“Nat…” I began nervously
“Trust me,” she said, warm feelings and promises of nothing but hot kisses settling my nerves as I let her drag me away.
