Castle (Natasha x reader)

In which you get into a car crash and meet an ex assassin

You were in the hospital, and the doctors told you that- wait, how did you get here?

Let's rewind a little bit.

You were a normal person, well, maybe as normal as normal can be. Sure, you liked some things that people would consider unusual, or a little quirky. Yikes, that makes you sound like those 'I'm not like other girls, I'm QuIrKy!' Let me start over-

You are an absolute dumbass. You liked to self monologue too much, you constantly trip over absolutely nothing, somehow your shoes are always untied even though you JUST tied them, you didn't know how to do laundry, taxes, or anything to do with shopping or money. Honestly, you don't know how you're still alive. You don't even have a house or anything, you literally STILL live with your parents at 25. But, you're also kind, compassionate, you care about a lot of stuff, you have a pretty good self esteem, but not an ego, and you know how to walk across the road without getting hit with a car.

You were wearing normal clothes, a hoodie and Jeans. You identified as non binary, so to fit in, you had to wear the standard. You didn't like it, but it didn't draw attention. And before anyone says, 'what kind of non-binary?'

A non binary kind of non binary.

Anyways, back to the car story.

While you were walking to your work place, you got distracted and thought the light was telling you to go... you started walking and BAM! SUDDEN CARS ARE MOVING FAST TOWARDS YOU!

But, get this, getting hit wasn't the weird part! You, absolutely dumbfounded you, protected yourself in a bubble-like-thing... you should come up with a name for your powers.... Wait, getting sidetracked! 'Wait, but since you protected yourself, why are you in the hospital? Is this a plot hole that the author forgot to mention? Or-' well...

You panicked and your powers stopped working... the car landed on your legs...

That's how you ended up in the hospital, you were walking across the road, and there probably was some sort of Avengers chase thing going on, because why else would someone be running a red light? You hoped it was something like that, and not a boring drunk person.

You really hope that you aren't paralyzed, because you have missed 4 hours of work and won't be getting paid at all. You don't know where your parents have been the past couple days, they said they were going to a meeting of some kind, and they haven't been back in a few days.

Sighing, you turn on the TV. Flipping through channels, you land on a Cartoon Network called.... Nickelodeon playing.... Squinting, you look at the screen watching Avatar; the last air bender play on the tv.

You got lost within the world of Aang and his friends, with your favourite character, Sokka. Your least favourite character was.... Did you have a least favourite character in the Avatar series? Whatever, you were enjoying yourself as Katara and Toph got makeovers. The subtitles were iffy, and didn't make sense, they were probably auto captions.

As Sokka lost his boomerang, the door opened and a doctor walked in.

You sat up and watched as the doctor started talking. His mouth opened and closed but nothing was coming out. Well, there was sound, but not for you. You see, you are deaf, but you're not helpless. You have a disability, but you don't make it a part of your personality.

You grabbed your phone and started typing down something to let the doctor know that you can't hear her. 'I cab't hear you.' I backspaced. 'I can't hear you.' The doctor nodded... but then started talking again, thinking I couldn't hear her in a 'Can you repeat that?' Way. You shook your head furiously. 'I'm deaf.' You typed.

The doctors mouth made an 'o' shape. She wrote something down on her clipboard. 'You sprained your ankles, both of them, dislocated your right knee, your lower spine is paralyzed and you probably won't walk again.'

Your heart stopped... but it wasn't what she wrote, it was the fucking bill for the surgeries.

Before anything else could be said, a female in black walked in. She had gorgeous red hair, and her body was elegant, but also man-like. When she smiled at you, your heart stopped. 'I think I like women..' Her mouth was moving, 'Butter ducks Fred yell? Never mind. I suck at lip reading.'

The doctor left the room, and You showed the stunning goddess in front of you the texts You typed for the doctor. She smiled, and your heart fluttered. 'I'm the one who ran you over, I'm sorry. I'll pay for the medical bills.' She signed, making you excited. 'You know sign???? That's awesome! When did you learn it?' She chuckles, and you look at her confused. 'I'm still learning, calm down'. You nodded, and she moved to sit down.

'My name is Natasha, and I'd like to ask you about the Avengers initiative.' 

It took you a moment to register what she said, and you gasped. 'Wait, really? This isn't a dream? Holy shit' your hands started flapping in excitement, your stemming almost hitting Natasha. 

'I'm so sorry!' You signed frantically, checking to see if she's okay. 

Natasha laughed, and signed 'You're the one in the hospital bed, and you're sorry?' You snorted, looking at her. 'May I ask what your name is?' She asked, looking at you. 'My name is Y/n... that's my birth name... my name that I prefer to go by is Sky.' You signed, almost cringing at your dead name while signing. 

Natasha nodded. 'Alright, Sky.' She signed, looking forward out the window. 'I'd like to ask you a few things, but I think I should do that tomorrow. You had an g-exhausting day, and I'd hate for you to get e-overwhelmed. L-Can I come back tomorrow?' She signed slowly, getting her letters mixed up. You pondered for a moment. 

'Yes.'
