Chapter 3

Once they landed, the agents rescued by Steve were in custody and so did the files that Stark, Bruce and Clint found. Steve wouldn't talk to Natasha nor look at her. He was ignoring her and it was killing her inside.

"Are you and red okay, Cap?" Stark asked him when they were about to enter the Avengers Tower. Steve looked at him and rolled his eyes.

"Not in the mood, Stark," he said, leaving the room. Stark followed him with the eyes and wondered what was wrong with them.

"Do not try to find out what is happening between them, Tony," Clint said when he saw Tony writing in a piece of paper. "I'm leaving now, and when I get back I want to see all my friends alive. Make sure that happens, okay?"

"Don't worry, Hawkeye. The great Tony Stark will be in charge," Tony said, and Clint rolled his eyes.

"Which means that we are screwed. Bye Tony," Clint added while opening the door and leaving the tower.

"Are you mad?" Steve heard a female voice coming from behind him. He stopped kicking the sandbag for some seconds before hitting it harder. Natasha swallow and made her way to her knives. "Just know that it wasn't my intention to lie to you,"

"Really?" Steve asked her with rage in his voice. "We were in that mission together, Natasha! Those agents could have been killed!"

"I just couldn't tell you, Captain," She threw some knives at the target in the wall. "Some things need to be secret,"

"That's bullshit! Every word you say to me is bullshit!" Steve was definitely mad.

"Language, Rogers," Natasha said, playfully. Steve was standing in front of her now. She looked at him before grabbing her knives. "What do you think you are doing? Those are mines! Use your sandbag," Steve ignored her and threw her knives at the target.

"Do you trust me?" He asked her, turning to look at her. She stepped back and he stepped forward. "Answer me!"

"Yes," she said, looking at her feet. Steve grabbed her arm and she raised her gaze from the floor.

"Then why didn't you just tell me?! I acted like an idiot! You could have got us both killed!" he said, raising his voice.

"Don't be so dramatic, Rogers," she said, moving away from him. Steve took a deep breath and made his way to the door. "We didn't die after all," she added, smiling.

"Don't. Just don't, Romanoff," Steve said, and slammed the door behind him.

"He called her Romanoff! It is serious!" Tony whispered to Bruce in the lab. "Then he left the training room and slammed the door! He slammed it!"

"I heard you the first time, Tony," Bruce said, rolling his eyes. "And just for the record, w-you shouldn't be talking about this," Bruce stood up from the table and went to organize some files.

"You should have been there! I thought they were going to start a fight," Tony said, concerned.

"Are you done here?" Bruce asked him, leaving the files and going to the door. Tony nodded. "Goodbye, Tony," Tony left the room and made his way to the bathroom.

"Stop gossiping about me or the next thing you will hear is going to be about how the black widow killed Tony Stark," Natasha said, walking away. Tony looked at her and opened the bathroom's door.

Natasha was watching TV when she heard him entering the room. Steve ignored her and went to grab some letters from the furniture next to the sofa she was sitting on.

"Stop being a child," Natasha whispered. Steve pretended that he didn't hear her and made his way to the door. "Rogers!"

"What!?" he said, not turning to see her. Natasha stood up from the sofa.

"Stop acting like a child! We're grown up people. It's time for you to learn to deal with lies and secrets," she said, folding her arms. He turned to face her.

"Are you done? I need to finish reading some books," Steve said in a low voice.

"Listen to me, Rogers!" Natasha said, walking to where he was. They were face to face. "From the moment you met me you knew that I live with secrets and lies. They are part of me and they will never go away. Understood?"

"You left pretty clear to me that I cannot trust you, so yes. Understood," He said, serious. Natasha put a hand on his chest and pushed him against the wall.

"You are so damn dramatic," she said, before moving her lips to his mouth, almost touching them, but Steve moved away. She gasped.

What do you think of the fanfic so far? Do you like it?
P.S I'm sorry for the mistakes that I didn't correct. I haven't found a beta yet.
