[Third Person...]
Natasha went on a mission that required her to not be in contact with anyone who wasn't aware of the mission, meaning anyone who wasn't an Avenger or working for Fury.
You included.
You called everyday to try to get an update from Fury, but unlike usual, he refused to budge.
He expected this routine mission to go easy, no casualties and no injuries. He expected everyone to come back in one piece, he also anticipated in not feeling the wrath of Natasha's soon to be wife who he doesn't like to admit he is deathly afraid of.
But in this mission Natasha was shot on her side, the bullet grazing her but enough to cause her to have a slight limp for a while and damaging some skin.
You were sitting in the apartment you and Natasha lived in with Liho, Natasha was due to return in a week or so, you were patiently waiting for her to walk through your front door with her bags in hand and a kiss ready.
As you took a break from watching tv, you received a call from Fury in the bathroom, your phone in the living room.
You walked back from doing your business unpausing the tv and checking your phone, you listened to the voicemail and your phone dropped to the floor scaring Liho.
"Y/n, you need to get to the compound med bay right away, Romanoff has been compromised."
Was all you needed to hear before rushing out of your shared apartment with only a pair of Nike shoes, no jacket, and your keys. Leaving behind everything else and quickly locking your apartment you rushed to the compound.
It was raining outside and unfortunately the stairs were outside of the building, you quickly climbed down them as you made your way to your car and rushing towards the compound.
At the compound, Fury was biting his nails nerves racking through him at the thought of your anger bursting through that door.
He knew any moment now you would be coming in to kill him.
"You okay, boss?" Tony asks, he was concerned, he had never seen Fury like this. Fury gave him a stern look, nodding. None of the other Avengers knew of you, at least not of yet.
As far as they knew, Natasha was completely and utterly single.
They know Natasha as a person who took no ones shit, do not speak unless your spoken to, and practically just a hard ass all in all type of person. They couldn't even touch her accidentally without being flipped over.
Tony sustained a bad nose injury for mentioning that Natasha was a bad cook, he wasn't wrong. But it didn't help the fact that Natasha was angered by his unnecessary comment at the time.
Soon enough, you bursted through the doors. Thor, Steve, and Tony blocking you from entering.
"Excuse me, who the hell are you?" Tony asked in a not so polite way.
"None of your goddamn business. Now let me in." You raged.
"I'm sorry Miss, we cannot do that until-"
As Steve was speaking, Natasha had awoken from her slumber upon hearing your voice. Whenever you were around she felt like she could cry, and be vulnerable.
With all the medication she had in her system, she wanted to do that. It was clouding her better judgement. She didn't care if the others were around, she just wanted you in her arms.
"Baby?" She cried. She didn't see you so she whined a bit more.
"Detka!" She said with tears rolling down her face. She tried getting out of bed but Banner and Clint kept her there.
"Let her in!" Fury instructed finally, the three what you thought were imbeciles finally let you in. You quickly made your way to the love of your life.
"Oh, baby." You said bringing her into a kiss and hugging her head to your chest letting her calm down. She finally did calm when she felt your arms around her and allowed your scent to cloud her senses.
"Nick, I am going to rip you in half." You spoke to Fury. He gulped.
Upon hearing Fury's first name the others tensed, they waited for Fury to hammer you about using his first name. Ready for him to throw you out of the room.
"I am very sorry, y/n. This wasn't meant to happen, she-"
"I honestly don't want to hear it." You say sternly as you glared dagger to him, he nods understandingly.
"When you want to hear of what happened, just let me know. She shouldn't have been sent on the mission, I take full responsibility, I should have let her recover from her last one."
"Damn right." You said before taking Natasha's face in your hands and gently kissing her lips. Fury walked out of the room wanting to give you your space before killing him.
"Are you okay, my baby?" You ask your fiancé
She nods.
"I just want you." She pouted. You nod, and smile at her before gently pecking her lips again.
"You already have me, moya lyubov." You say smiling gently, you climbed into bed with her ignoring the looks of the other Avengers as they watched you two.
Tony's mouth was open wide in shock. Steve had the look of a smug smile and 'I knew it' type of face. Thor's eyebrows were scrunched as he tried to make sense of the situation. Banner's gaze remained on the ground as he didn't want to piss you off as well as trying to figure out how the hell did Natasha get a girlfriend in the little free time she's had.
Clint went around and gave you a side hug.
"You never fail to impress me on how you make yourself so intimidating to Fury." Clint laughs
"Nick is all bark and no bite. He knows I'll call him out on his bluff, which is why he is so terrified of me. I bark back, especially when my baby is hurt, I'll bite if I have to." You inform him making him laugh and shrug.
"If it were Laura, I'd do the same." He smiled, he then ruffled your hair.
"Don't touch my wife." Natasha mumbled into your neck towards Clint.
"She's not even your wife yet!" He argued
"She will be, so hands off."
The medication must have been wearing off because she was going back to her snappy self, making you laugh.
"Wait— let me get this straight... you- and you... are- you knew?" Tony asks the last question towards Clint, he gives a tight smile leaning against the hospital bed before giving his answer.
"Yeah... I was there when they met, then I was there to help Nat propose. So yeah— I knew." He shrugged once more.
Tony was so shocked he had to walk out of the room to compose himself with everything he had just witnessed. He was beyond confused and didn't know how to process seeing Natasha being cuddly, or Fury being scared, or even Clint being nice?
Thor was next as he tried to make sense of it all mumbling to himself as he walked out, Banner as well avoiding all contact with y/n as necessary.
Steve stayed introducing himself.
"Hi, I'm Steve." He smiled brightly
"Y/n." You introduced yourself
"I'm guessing your the one who tried getting with my fiancé?" You asked him, he looked at you confused before giving a big belly laugh.
"No, I- uhm... I'm gay. Well, uhm... it's complicated." He scratched the back of his neck, you chuckled a bit.
"Oh, god. I'm sorry, I thought-"
"You thought I was Banner... nope. But if it makes you feel any better, he left almost wetting his pants." Steve smirked, making you laugh.
"You know what, I think we're going to be great friends." You inform him, he laughs. Natasha just fell asleep in your arms.
You allowed her to get rest being she had been up for seventy two hours prior to her injury, she needed the rest, and you were glad to be the one holding her as she did get it.
She would snuggle into you every so often, Tony would pass by giving a weird look before shaking his head violently and walking away as if he thought somehow he was dreaming.
Clint would come in to check on the both of you every so often, as would Steve.
You were glad you finally met the Avengers, you could finally have fun with all the bullying Tony and Thor do towards Nat. Meaning, they would be dead if they tried to ever again.
Better for you, it was how you liked it.
Natasha's wound healed up nicely, and she would allow herself to be vulnerable with you in-front of the team always shocking the rest but nevertheless they wouldn't comment.
Or they'd feel your wrath, better to keep their mouths glued shut.
