Nightmare:

It was around three in the morning when Natasha jolted up from her sleep in Avengers compound before jumping out of her bed shaking and running straight to her boyfriend of nearly a years room. Sprinting down the halls she ignored the random employee working the night shift as she focused on her one and only goal. Turning around the last corner she didn't even bother knocking she just punched in her code and rushed in. Pausing to breathe when she saw him lying there. She just stood there for a minute, watching him.

After what felt like hours, but was truly just seconds, he rolled over and opened his eyes.

"Natalia?" He mumbled, sitting up slightly before she rushed over to him and slammed her face into the side of his chest.

That action jolted him awake.

"Natalia? Hey, what's wrong?" He asked softly pulling her into a tight hug rubbing up and down her back.

"Just- Just hold me…" She mumbled into his shoulder holding on tighter than he even thought possible.

"Shh… It's ok… I've got you doll… Just breath." He soothed gently in her ear trying to calm her down.

Normally they stayed in his room, but they had not told the team they were dating. They wanted it just between the two of them. It started as just wanting to make sure it would go alright after not having been together for over a decade, but they still had their spark. One that had been wrongly taken from them by the Red Room. Their memory wipes were brutal, but the Red Room didn't care just as long as they took away The Black Widow's weakness and the Winter Soldiers only weakness. The only reason they remembered now is when Wanda pulled for Natasha's worst fear during the fight against Ultron, she also took down a huge wall that was blocking many of her memories and over the next year everything came back, then when Wakanda had James for a little while they were able to unblock his slightly and Wanda finished it for him. Despite not having said anything both knew that Wanda probably knew of their secret relationship. Eventually they just got used to it being their secret, and not having to worry about anyone else's opinions or Stark's jokes. Though Stark had made a reference early about them dating, while no one took it seriously they had decided for a few days to play it safe and for them to stay in their own rooms.

They sat there on the side of his bed for a few minutes before Natasha began to calm down a little.

"Natalia, hey doll what is it?" James asked softly pulling back from the hug slightly and moving his hands to the sides of her face caressing her cheeks.

She stayed silent only just staring into his eyes.

"Natalia…" He started before she buried her head back into his chest but this time holding his metal hand to her face, before mumbling

"Nightmare" and that was all James needed to know.

He began to stand up while she clutched tighter to his bare shoulder and metal arm, though he just put his free arm underneath her and moved to hold her in a bridal style, but still making it easy for her to bury her face into his bare chest. Standing up fully he carried her over to his large window, before just walking around his room holding her and whispering to her gently for a few minutes before moving back to his bed and sitting in the back middle, leaning up against the headboard before asking.

"What happened?" He asked softly, not having asked earlier because he knew she needed to be calmer before she was able to speak any further, and for some reason he had learned months ago after another horrific nightmare, that carrying her around and walking around calmed her down, similar to how many parents put their infants and toddlers to sleep.

"I lost you… The Red Room, they reformed and took you away from me. Wiped your memories again, then tortured you in front of me. Then… They- they killed you. They made me watch. They made me watch videos of our missions before replacing it with your death. Each time is was my fault you died on the mission. I mess up – I screwed up- I missed a shot… I wasn't protecting you… I failed… I lost you" She cried into his chest, while he rubbed his metal hand up and down her bare back under her sleep tank top. His metal hand was something she easily identified him with, it became a comfort of sorts when she came into contact with it. It soothed her and made her feel safe.

"Natalia, I am not going anywhere. I am right here. I am alive. I am fine. I didn't die. I remember you. And Natalia Alianovna..." He said and then guided her face to meet his before continuing, "I love you"

Then leaning forward and pulling her into a deep yet gentle and comforting kiss, one that he put all his feelings into.

Once their lungs burned for hair they ended the kiss but leaned their foreheads together.

Looking up he saw the tear streaks still going down her face while she continued to try and reassure herself that he was still there, and she was still his, he took his flesh hand and wiped away a falling tear smiling.

"I love you too, James."

He sat there holding her tight as tears continued to stream down her face, but she was going to be ok because she had her Winter Soldier, she had her James, she had everything she could possibly need inside of one person. Though if she ever lost him, the world would also lose her.

Hi guys thanks so much for reading this is a oneshot series so I will be taking requests and that is how I will thrive off of my ideas so please submit, all I ask is they remain Pg-13 for romance, I am fine with gore and such and will put warnings but I would like characters to be treated like friends, you don't want to display them in such a way now a small reference to it I am fine with and while I don't cuss if the book needs to cuss it may be added in but unlikely so please submit requests AU's are also welcomes, as well as if you seriously want a sequel to one and I have the inspiration for it I will do it, you can even suggest what you want in the part 2 or 3 or however long it gets.

Though updates may be slow due to Real life obligations and I nearly all of my classes are highly advanced as well as I am on my Competeive Ballroom dancing team.

Also if someone would like to BETA these stories for me please DM me.
