Hello I'm BACK! Honestly I wasn't gonna finish this story but the other day I saw a review from Lia Makel begging with their life for me to continue and I thought why the hell not, let's finish it! So here is the next chapter. Please review I love to know what you think!
Steve turned around to witness Clint and Tony glaring at him. "Fuck,no!" Tony screamed. "You can't freeze her forever, Steve." "Just let her rest in peace, she's been through enough no thanks to you." Clint snarled enraged.
"It won't be forever, just until we get a cure. Don't you want her to live?" Steve argued.
"Of course we do but I don't trust you with her!" Tony responded.
Steve replied calmly looking him straight in the eye, "I know you hate me because I left and the past few years have been chaotic but Tony- I love Natasha, I would die for her! I left thinking she would be happier not broken. I never wanted this, I just wanted her. I know you would have done the same with Miss. Potts. If there is even a small chance she can live I will keep fighting because we all know she would've done the same. So, please Tony, you don't need to love me you just need to trust me on this and keep fighting for her."
Clint -"ok Steve. Cryofreeze her but I'm not doing this for you I'm doing this for her."
"Ok, fine," Tony accepted begrudgingly.
Sam found Steve out in the corridor as the doctors prepared Natasha."Hey, man. You did good in there.". "Thanks Sam I just hope it's enough."
"Steve, now that's she's in the cryofreeze chamber we need to kill the bastard who did this."
"I know but the team's broken no one will listen."
"Well you got them to listen in there so I think you'll be alright. It's time Steve. It's time."
Steve nodded silently staring into space.
"Jarvis, please can you call an Avengers meeting" Steve asked
Jarvis- "Right away, sir."
"Oh and Jarvis... can you invite Maria and Fury as well "
"Yes of course."
One by one all the avengers walked in with intrigued or confused faces. Once Tony and Rhodey turned up Steve began the meeting. " Thank you for coming here today. I know lots of you are angry and hurt by my actions as well as this past years traumas. I want you to know I don't expect you to want me back as Captain since I left the way I did but... Natasha's in a coma and none of us know whether she will ever come back." Steve stuttered the last parts. "But someone put her there and as much as I want to sit next to her waiting for her to wake up, this monster MUST be found and punished for Nat's sake. It's time we start searching and the only way we can do this is as a team so will you help me bring this criminal to justice?"
Fury -"Well Rogers I wasn't expecting that but me and Maria will be more than happy to provide resources to catch the bastard."
Sam- "Yeh, I'm in."
Wanda- "These pasts few months have been hard but I know you never meant for this so I will be more than happy to help."
Vision nodded in agreement as well as Barton and Thor smiling at the truce that had began.
Tony muttered "This is fucking unbelievable!" and stormed out the room followed by Rhodey saying he would try to change his stubborn mind.
"Tony, come on slow down!"
"No Rhodey. I won't! I can't believe you have all just forgiven him so easily." He screamed. "It's ridiculous!"
"Now wait a second!" Rhodey ordered making Tony stop in surprise at his tone.
"I know you are angry but Tony, YOU are being the ridiculous one"
"Me? I'm the crazy one? At you hearing yourself right now?" Tony roared .
"Yes. I never said he was forgiven that comes with time but we are Avengers and whether you like it or not Tony it's our duty to find the man who shot Romanoff not just because it's our job but because she was a friend. We have to find him and we can't do it alone, you know that. So this is what we have to do. It's not what I want to do, it's what I have to do! You have to do this too because right now this team is balancing on a thin thread, if you walk out right now you will hurt everyone maybe even worse than Steve did. I know he left but he came back and that's what's important Tony. Rogers is willing to fight for this team, are you?"
Tony paused for a second, contemplating was the hurt worth it? "Ok I won't leave because despite our differences Natasha was a good friend."
"Good, it's gonna take time Tony but we will make it through this. I promise." Rhodey patted his back and walked off relieved to have got him on board with the plan.
