(Black Widow's POV)-
I watched as Ava fell, an arrow through her chest. Oh my god. We all rushed over and Vision picked her up. Tony told him to take her to the hospital wing and he obeyed. We were all left just standing there in shock. "This is all my fault." Wanda was sitting on the ground with her head in her hands, in shock while tears fell down her cheeks.
I crouched down. "Wanda, listen to me. It was an accident."
She continued to cry. "If I was better at controlling my powers this wouldn't have happened! Besides, the fact that it was an accident doesn't make it any better. If she dies…"
"That's not going to happen."
"How do you know?"
I gave her a slight smile. "I just know." I then instructed Falcon to take her back to her room and he obeyed. I turned towards Tony. "So, when are you going to tell Steve?"
He looked worried, but I knew he was trying to hide that and maybe hold back tears. "I'm not." He then walked away with War Machine in tow.
I ran up to him. "What?" We stopped walking.
"Look, Cap. is at the gym right now. You know how long he stays there for. That old man stays there for hours. As long as we save her before he comes back, he doesn't need to know. It'll be a win-win."
I raised my eyebrow at him. "Well, I hope you know that if he finds out you didn't tell him about this, he is going to be furious."
"All we need to do is get her fixed before he comes back. Don't you dare say a word to him." We got back to base and he went off to talk to the others.
I sighed and ran into Sam as I was going to the hospital wing. "Hey, Sam. Tony tell you not to tell Steve?"
He nodded. "I might just do it. I feel horrible not telling Steve. He does have a thing for her. Is Tony crazy? If he finds out we kept this from him he is going to be mad at all of us."
"To answer your question, yes he is crazy. And you're right. But if we can't save her….. We will have no choice but to tell Steve." He nodded. We walked to the hospital wing and sat in the waiting room. Everyone else was already there. Except for Wanda. My phone buzzed. I looked at it. A text from Steve.
Steve: Coming back from the gym early. You guys still training?
I froze. I turned towards Tony. "Hey, you better look at this."
He looked at it and his eyes widened. "Shit. You stall him."
I rolled my eyes. "Let's say they fix her. How are we going to explain the fact that she's in a hospital bed?"
He thought about this. "Good point. We'll put her in her bed in her room and say she's sleeping."
I sighed. "Fine. I don't know how long I can do this for."
I rushed away. Just in time. Cap. was outside. "Hey, did you get my text?"
I nodded. "I'm surprised you can even use your phone. Sorry I didn't text back. We were just finishing up training."
He nodded. "Where are the others?"
"Inside getting a snack. Hey, Steve. I need you to do something for me."
"What is it?"
I pulled out a grocery list. "I need you to go to the store and get these items."
He raised his eyebrows. "Is there something going on, Nat.?"
"Nothing's going on. I wish that war hadn't made you so paranoid. I know you want to see your girlfriend….."
"She's not my girlfriend, " he interrupted.
"Just go."
"Okay, fine. I'll go." I bid him goodbye and then got a text from Tony.
Tony: She's okay. They got the arrow out in time. They are just finishing up. She will just need to rest for a few days. How are you holding up?
Me: That's good. I just sent him to the grocery store. But, tell me this-how are you going to explain Ava being in bed for a few days?
Tony: Will you stop doubting me? I got this. We'll just say she has a fever.
I then stopped texting him. I felt so relieved. Wanda will be too.
