Hey, I'm a new guy here at , I've always been a loyal reader of Clintasha fics, and now I decided to make an account and write a fic. It was suppose to be a Clintasha fic, but some things got wrong in the process lol.
Disclaimer : I don't own the characters from the Avengers. But I do hope to be the script writer for the sequel.
It's 2 in the morning, a week after the Manhattan Battle, and the famous Black Widow couldn't fall asleep, even though the bed at the new Avengers headquarters in the Stark Tower is really comfy. The night after the Manhattan Battle (and also the not too bad Shwarma), the Avengers crashed in the damaged Stark Tower, tired from their seemingly endless battle. The next morning, Tony had assembled a meeting, and the Avengers decided that they would stick together as a superhero team and make Stark Tower as their headquarters (except Thor though, who had to bring Loki to Asgard, but he promised would return though). They all think the idea was pretty cool, being a superhero team, saving the world from mass destruction, and having their own headquarters, not S.H.I.E.L.D's boring and serious headquarters. After the meeting (and receiving a green light from their beloved Nick Fury), Tony and Pepper renovated the tower straight away. Aside from fixing the massive damage from the Manhattan Battle, they also made the upper levels of the tower more suitable to be a headquarters for the Avengers. They didn't fix the STARK letters on top of the tower, there's only the 'A' left, and Tony decided to change his Tower into Avengers tower.
The Avengers now have a meeting/living room, where they would talk about battle strategies or just watch a movie on Tony 's massive TV. Beside the meeting/living room they have a kitchen and a dining table, where Pepper usually cooks them breakfast before she goes to her office being the busy Stark Enterprise's CEO. They also have a gym where the Avengers likes to work out to keep in shape, a high-tech lab for Bruce for him to do any experiments he likes and talk science with Tony, and also a Shooting range where Clint Barton a.k.a. Hawkeye likes to sharpen his skills.
Ah, Clint, one of the reason why Agent Natasha Romanoff couldn't fall asleep.
"I won't touch Barton. Not until I make him kill you, slowly, intimately, in every way he knows you fear. And then he'll wake just long enough to see his good work. And when he screams, I'll split his skull."
Loki s words kept ringing on her mind every night she goes to sleep. Even though she shows Loki that she was only manipulating and interrogating him back at the heli-carrier, when she said that he is a monster, she really meant it. For her, Clint Barton was the only person that understood her. When he spared her life back then, she immediately trusted him with her life, something that she never thought she would ever be able to do. Since then, she thinks of him as a true partner, a true friend, and some kind of a brother to her. Just the image of Loki s words made her gasp for breath, and even cry sometimes, a bit unusual for someone like her. Usually she would try her best to get the thought off her mind and drift into sleep eventually, but this night, she doesn't know why, she just couldn't
"Is this love Agent Romanoff?"
She couldn't tell, she knew that she has feelings for Clint, but having a childhood like hers, being trained as a master assassin, she doesn't really understand 'love'. All she was taught about love that it could be used to manipulate minds of her enemies. To lure them into her web, into the Black Widow's web. So she kept avoiding love, afraid that it would crush her just as she crushes the hearts of the stupid men who has fallen for her.
She feels like her feelings for Clint is out of debt and is just a friendship thing, but there were times when she was sitting together with Clint on the roof looking at the stars after a rough mission, or when they posed as a couple on an undercover, that she felt something that she couldn't understand. But she just thinks of it as her caring so much for her partner, because he cares so much about her also. They always watched each other's backs, and always understood each other.
So when she said 'love is for children' to Loki, It was actually her not understanding. But she never thinks about it much, because she has trained to be strong, not just physically, but also mentally. But since Loki s words struck her, she's now thinking about it more often, and it just drives her crazy. How could the Black Widow be confused about feelings and love she thought, it was just so immature.
Still couldn't fall asleep, Natasha decided to go to the kitchen and have a snack, maybe that would help. Tony has made two floor of his tower the Avengers Headquarters, one floor for the bedrooms and Bruce's lab, while above it for the living room, gym, and shooting range. When she opened the door of her room, she immediately sees Captain Rogers's Room which is in front of her room. With her skilled steps making almost no sound at all, she makes her way towards the elevator, making sure none of her teammates heard her.
While walking silently, she thought about the Captain America. Pepper once told her after a movie night, how handsome Tony is, and how she is always worried about him, and how she really loves him. 'Oh, so that's love' she thought (while still wondering how on earth Pepper could think of Tony as handsome.)
Well she is always worried about her partner Clint, because he is her partner and he is the one that has spared her life, but she never really think Clint as handsome. Steve on the other hand, is the most handsome guy that she has ever seen. She has always been fascinated at his old fashioned hair, his sweet smile, his masculine body, and his diplomacy skills and heroism. Maybe she loves Steve, or is it just what teenagers like to call a 'crush'?
She kept thinking about it when she finally arrived at the kitchen, when a voice startled her. "How can I be off guard like this?' she thought to herself, her reflexes made her turn into combat position.
"Couldn't sleep Agent Romanoff?"
She was relieved hearing the voice but also blushing at the same time.
It was the Cap.
So what do you think, Read & Review please, this is my first ever fic so be nice :p
