Tough Luck | Natasha Romanoff

20. Free Time

*at the compound*
Steve: Did you find anything?

You: We found more than a thing. We found an enemy.

Tony: You met resistance?

Nat: Yea.

Tony: Show us what you got.

You: We got a lot of paper documents and things Nat got off the computer.

Wanda: What about the map?

You: You really think it's real?

Wanda: Yeah, I took a photo of it.

Wanda sends the photo to Tony.

Tony: We'll see what we can find.

Nat: Maybe we can factor out those bases we've been to and see which one remains.

Tony: Just leave the analysing to us.

Tony chases us out of the room.

Nat: Well, we've done what we could. Now we wait. Movie anyone?

You: Sure. Wanda, you watching?

Wanda: Sure, The Night Manager?

(Do you know this?)

Nat: That's not exactly a movie but a good choice...

Three of you sat down at the sofa.

You: The last time I sat down on this sofa, things did not end well.

Nat: You fell asleep.

Wanda: For a long time.

You: Sorry guys, I'll try to stay awake this time.

*next day*
You: Have you found anything?

Tony: Yeah, there is a high probability that they are holding their operation at this place. *points at map*

You: Is that New Mexico? Do you have a plan?

Tony: We need to have him on surveillance for a few days to figure out his pattern.

You: Thanks Tony.

Tony: Yeah.

You wandered your way to the training room. You wanted to get your feelings out so you started boxing.

You: AAAAAhhhhhh

Your punches get quicker and quicker and eventually, you let out a small blast of hot air.

Nat: Someone's feeling angry.

You: I'm not angry.

Nat: Then why is it so hot here?

You: Because I feel anxious. Milverton is not going to be easy to catch. He's very slippery and cunning. That's how he managed to survive till this day.

Nat: We are not going to make it easy for him. Come on, let's get out of here. I don't want you to be sick again.

You: I am not going to be sick.

You grab your things and head to Nat's room.

---

You: What do you want?

Nat: I just want to hang out with you.

You: Let me go get ice cream. Rum raisins?

Nat: Yea.

You come back holding a tub of ice cream.

Nat: Only one?

You: Y- You don't like sharing?

You stop at the door.

Nat: How is it enough?

You: I don't want to grow fat. How was your day?

You sit on her bed facing her.

Nat: I just look at files all day. There's nothing special.

You: As long as it's you, I want to know all about it.

Nat: You know the files are confidential.

You: What do you usually do during your free time?

Nat: I don't give myself free time.

You: What? Why?

Nat: Less time for me to think about things.

You: You can think about me from now on.

Nat looks into your eyes and pulls you to bed. *the rest you can imagine yourself*

The next morning, you see Nat already awake but you decided to sleep in.

Nat: Come on. I know you are already awake.

You: I like to sleep. Why are you so strict? Come into bed with me.

She steps into bed with you. And you cuddle next to her.

Nat: Because unlike you, I have work to do.

You: You can just do it here.

Nat: No, I can't. I'll be thinking of you though.

She taps her head before closing the door behind her. This made you smile. You went to find Wanda in her room and asked if she wants to be your training partner
