Chapter 1
If felt weird to her. Bruce wasn't here. The Hulk had disappeared after the fight against Ultron and Natasha felt his absence the most.. She had tried to start something romantic, but it hadn't played out how she wanted. It was almost too good to be true. Dammit ,she thought, why does love hate me? What did I do wrong? Oh right, I'm the Black Widow and the Black Widow doesn't know how to love. Natasha sighed. But what about Natasha Romanoff? Can she learn to love? Her phone vibrated in her pocket and broke her train of thought. It was Steve.
Steve: Training starts in 20 minutes.
The old man finally learned how to text. Natasha slid her phone back into her pocket and made her way downstairs to the training rooms. The others were warming up and stretching. She took her place next to Steve.
"Hey Nat. How are you feeling?"
"Hey. I'm fine Steve."
He looked at her, unsure, but still unable to read her. He shrugged it off.
"Should we put them in pairs and let them spar?"
"Yeah sounds good. Um let's do Sam and Rhodey. Vision and Wanda. You and Me."
"Ok. Hear that guys. Pair up: Sam and Rhodey, Vision and Wanda, Natasha and I."
They separated into their pairs and began sparring.
"Ready to have your ass kicked Rogers?"
"What makes you so sure that's gonna happen Romanoff?"
Natasha flashed her trademark smirk before getting into her ready stance. Steve got ready too, but not before Natasha took a swing at his head. Steve ducked just in time to grab her arm and flip her over. Natasha hit the ground, but quickly recovered and knocked Steve off his feet. He got up quickly and resumed his stance. He took a punch at Natasha but she moved swiftly out of the way to avoid it. They went back and forth throwing punches and swinging at each other until Steve caught Natasha off guard and fell to the ground, with Steve awkwardly landing on top of her. Oh my god he's on top of me. Shit he's so muscular. No, knock it off Natalia you can't do this to yourself. She looked at Steve's bright tomato-red face and laughed. He crambled to get up and apologized.
"Sorry Nat."
"Hahaha don't worry about it. You may have won this time, but I won't let it happen again."
As the new recruits' training came to an end for the day, Natasha headed to the elevator to go up to her room and shower. Steve joined her in the elevator.
"Quick wash up before dinner. I have to be down to cook something up."
"Yeah I'm gonna shower too. We're watching a movie tonight. Sam and Rhodey picked one out already. I think you're gonna like it."
The elevator dinged and Natasha got off.
