I have my freaking laptop back guys! Thanks for your patience!
Dimly the sun peeped through the huge wall to wall windows of the bottom floor garage where the avengers were lolling around on old deckchairs they found amongst other old rubbish. Jane, Thor, Darcy and Bruce were quietly chatting to one another further to the right and everyone else just sat there, watching the sky. Restlessly Natasha shuffled around in her seat, she was freezing gold, her head hurt like hell and her stomach churned and squeezed more than it had ever done before.
Having had enough of the painful silence and freezing yet humid room, she stood up and shakily went to sit outside. Clint sighed from his chair as he left, feeling useless as nothing was going to make her feel better.
Natasha could hear Steve and Clint mumbling to one another through the glass but there words weren't clear. She could have easily have lip read, but moving or turning wasn't a comfortable option right now, so she settled with leaning against the cool glass and listening to Clint's comforting voice.
After a while his voice had become silent, sighing at the new silence, Natasha played with the soft grass underneath her, twisting it and pulling it out in messy clumps.
"Hey" a familiar voice came from beside her, making her jump a little as she hadn't heard footsteps or doors opening.
She turned to see Clint sitting beside her, watching her hands pull up the grass. His face was pale and dark circles were forming under his eyes, they were bad but not as bad as hers. Clint looked tired, very very tired, and broken. Almost as if Natasha's illness had more impact on him than herself.
"Hi" she smiled through her wince as she shuffled up to him, leaning her head on his shoulder in hope she'd warm up a little. "What were you and Steve talking about?"
"You" he admitted casually, not that she was surprised.
"Thought so" she laughed half-heartedly, nudging him weakly with her elbow "specifically?"
"You and him"
I'm sorry it took so long to be up but you'll get chapters more often now, there's probably going to be a lot.
OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MANY OF YOU ALERT THIS, I LOVE YOU ALL
