Clint turned back around to check on Natasha, but he sensed something was wrong instantly. Her chest wasn't rising and falling as it usually did and Clint started to breathe faster and in quick breaths. I can't lose her know, not after everything we've been through. "Nat?" he barely noticed as the others started looking at him worriedly. However, Clint saw her breathe again as she turned to look at him, with what he thought was a hint of mischief in her eyes. Natasha placed a finger to her lips and unclasped the locket from her neck. Clint looked back at her with realisation in his eyes. She nodded once and turned back over, her chest stopping again. "Clint, what's going on?" Tony asked him. He smiled slightly. "Natasha's going to kill Ivan."
Natasha lay on the floor holding her breath. The pain still soared through her but she managed to push it to the back of her mind. If she was going to do this she had to do it right. She heard Ivan kick the door open and she swallowed nervously. Natasha could feel his eyes on her and knew exactly what was going through his mind. He had been foolish to unchain her. As he bent down to get a closer look, she took her chance. She swung her leg round and her foot hooked round the back of Ivan's leg. He shouted as he fell to the ground and she jumped up putting the chain from the locket around his neck and held it tightly, the tears streaming from her eyes as she remembered everything he had done to her. He was thrashing around on the ground but she kept it there with no mercy. She felt the life drain from his body as he stopped moving and she removed the chain from around his neck. She was lucky that it had been thick enough to suffocate him, instead of just cutting into his neck. She looked down at him one more time and said "Это было для Наташи." That was for Natasha.
She knelt down over Ivan's body and felt around in his pocket. Inside was a phone and she turned it on quickly, knowing that Tony could finally track her. She turned around to see everyone staring at her with too many emotions for her to count. She nodded to Tony and he looked down at his tablet to start getting to work.
Natasha could feel the excruciating pain return to her and she fell against the wall, shaking. She was blacking out again, but this time it felt different, like she was going into a deep sleep.
"I've found her!" Tony finally exclaimed as he shot up smiling. "Where is she?" Pepper asked, as she felt somewhat happy again, knowing she was getting her best friend back. "No time for explanations, darling, all you need to know is that I'm getting her back." Tony already had his suit on and he looked back at them as he shot off into the sky, to rescue Natasha. Everyone let out a sigh of relief as they fell back onto the sofas, waiting.
Tony blasted the door of the room off its hinges as he ran into the room, searching for Natasha. He briefly looked over to the others and saw them watching his every move. He turned back around to Natasha, who still hadn't woken up yet. That worried Tony, but she was still alive and all he cared about right now, was getting her home. He gently picked her up in his arms, trying not to think about the blood continuously dripping over his suit. As he began to leave, he turned back around and kicked Ivan in the face, for Natasha. The journey getting back was short, and he felt proud of how fast his suit could fly. He had slowed down on the journey getting to Natasha because he didn't want to miss the place where she was held captive, but he wasted no time on getting her to safety.
Tony lowered himself down onto the roof and felt the suit beginning to be taken off of him. He gripped Natasha tightly in his arms and ran down to where the others were. As JARVIS ran a load of medical tests on her, he ran into the living room to see everyone else. They were standing up waiting for him, with baited breath and he walked through the room straight towards Clint. He moved Natasha over into Clint's strong arms and stepped back.
Clint laid Natasha down on the sofa as gently as he could, apologizing to Pepper and Tony for the blood that would stain it, but they didn't care about that right now. He pushed her red curls from her face and tears began to run down his face as he stared at her. Steve was the first to sit beside Clint and the others followed soon after. They had decided to look after her in the Tower instead of taking her to the SHIELD infirmary. Besides, Bruce and JARVIS on their own were better than every SHIELD doctor put together. "Why isn't she waking up?" Clint asked JARVIS. He began to break down as JARVIS explained that soon after she killed Ivan, she had gone into a coma. The others sat there shocked and unmoving but their spirits were lifted as JARVIS said she would wake up. But he didn't know when.
