I'm back with another chapter, I hope you enjoy I felt it sort of tied up some loose ends. At the moment with Covid-19 life has been really hard for people and I just want to say please stay safe and protect others by keeping your distance and following the guidelines in place. Also to all key workers who are putting their lives at risk you are true superheroes and I want to applaud you for your courage. Another huge thank you to Wrighting'GIRL3000 my beta who is just AMAZING. Don't forget check out her fanfics.

And to Grim who reviewed last chapter I hope this clears it up a bit more, please let me know if it doesn't though.

Please review I love to hear your thoughts. Enjoy and I wish you all my best wishes at this time.

"Captain Rogers?" T'Challa said seeing Steve walk down the corridor quickly."Captain! Wait! Please stop a second I have to tell you something!" Steve turned around after hearing his name to find T'Challa the very person he'd been hoping to avoid. "Oh, your majesty. Hello. Please just call me Steve."

"Hi Steve, the same goes for you just call me "T'Challa"

"You said you had important news?" Steve queried slightly frustrated by being stopped but he didn't let it show.

"Oh, yes!"

"Can this wait? Excuse me for sounding a bit rude but I'm on my way to see Dr. Cho so I can give Natasha my blood."

"I completely understand but this is important and I cannot keep this secret much longer so I felt I should tell you first before the others."

"Ok then." Steve replied his interest piqued as he watched the King of Wakanda shift from one foot to another anxiously as if awaiting his death sentence.

"Well you see...the thing is..." "Yes?" "Wearenotdating" T'Challa blurted out. "What?" "Me and Natasha," He added as clarification.

"I realise that but I don't understand. Why would you lie about this to everyone, to me?"

"Well not everyone...?"

"Excuse me?"

"Ok well what happened was we were talking months ago. I wanted to know why Natasha hadn't made a move on you. It's obvious you both love each other. She told me she had a plan in place and she needed me to make you jealous in hope of pushing you to take your head out of your ass and tell her how you really feel."

"It was obvious?" Steve said surprised."Oh yeah everyone could tell!" The King replied smiliing as he recalled the way Natasha and Steve had acted, it seemeed so long ago.

"And you agreed to help?"

"Well I wasn't sold on the idea but it was clear how you both felt so I wanted to help nudge you in the right direction but as you can see the plan backfired on us."

"Yes it did. You mentioned someone else knowing?"

"Oh yes. Tony."

"Tony knew?!"

"Yeah he overheard me and Natasha talking and had asked to help announce the plans. That's why I was confused by his anger at you I thought he would be more understanding."

" I see... Thank you for telling me T'Challa. I assume you will let everyone know?"

"Yes of course it's stupid to keep lying now although I think they must had an inkling, once you left we pretty much stopped pretending since there was no point. Maybe they assumed we broke up? Steve, I just felt you deserved to know after everything that's happened and before she wakes up to avoid any misunderstandings. I'm just sorry I didn't tell you sooner."

"We can't change the past only focus on the present and future."

"Wise words Captain, well I must be off to Wakanda now I was sent news of a situation and I must head Barack immediately, goodbye Steve."

"Goodbye T'Challa"

Steve went searching for Tony he still had time before meeting Dr. Cho and he needed answers.

"Tony?" Steve called out whilst knocking on the glass making him aware of his presence.

"Oh, Capsicle what a surprise! What are you doing here? Did you find some information or..." Tony sat pondering what could bring Steve to his lab. "Is it Natasha! Is she alright?"

"No I have no information and Natasha's condition is stable, I'm actually on my way to see Dr. Cho."

"Oh then what is it?"

"I was talking to T'Challa actually."

"I thought he was on his way to Wakanda?"

"He is but he stopped me to tell me something important."

"Care to share, Rogers ?" Tony said getting a bit irritated by his ambiguity.

"He told me the truth, Tony."

"What truth? Steve I honestly am very confused."

"He told me how Natasha and him pretended to date to make me jealous and that you knew! This whole time you knew! You got angry at me accusing me of being the one in the wrong yet you never told me, never tried to find me or tell me that she does love me."

"Woah hold on a sec, Captain Perfect! Yes ok I knew. I knew she loved you and so what? I'm the bad guy now? When you left like a coward you broke her heart. She wouldn't eat, wouldn't sleep, wouldn't talk and she had no fucking idea what to do! She didn't know how to lead this group because she was to shattered by her love for you!"

"Well I wouldn't of left if had known the truth!"

"I tried to contact you but you were in deep and Fury didn't want to tell you as it would definitely have risked compromising the mission. You know how he is. He wouldn't let me!"

"You could of tried harder she was playing with her life Tony!" Steve shouted tears coming to his eyes. Tony bent his head downwards.

"I know. I know." He mumbled clearly upset by the memories of how she had been. "Fury was going to give her a last chance and then extract you or disband the Avengers but before that happened she was shot and now we are here. I know it wasn't your fault I just knew when I held her in my arms after she was shot that I had let her down. I should have done more, maybe if I had we wouldn't be here right now. I was angry at myself and I blamed you I am so sorry Steve. I let everyone down." Tony spoke quickly, his voice wavering as tears threatened to pour down his face.

"Tony stop. You didn't let anyone down, you did your best in shitty circumstances. What's important was that you looked out for Natasha throughout it all and I can't thank you enough. So what you got angry, we all get angry it's normal. I feel like her let her down just as much but I promise when she wakes up I will spend the rest of my life making it up to her and proving to her that she is my everything. Without her my universe stops, I need Natasha to breathe, to get up in the morning. She's the one reason I keep fighting." Steve patted him on the back reassuringly and they both smiled as they had finally come to an agreement. There was peace between them at last.

"You better go before your late." Tony reminded him.

"Oh yes I will tell Jarvis if anything happens." Steve said whilst he rushed out the door heading off to try an bring back Natasha.
