Ivan approached the table slowly with the knife drawn and ready. Natasha bravely awaited the upcoming pain. Yet Ivan did something no one was expecting. He swung suddenly and swiped the blade quickly across the chest of Clint.
Clint winced in surprise and pain. Natasha cried out in surprise and desperation. Ivan rounded behind him, pressing the blade to Clint's neck.
"Interesting, you fear more for the life's of your friends then your own." Ivan said leveling Natasha with a glare. "You are a bigger disappointment then I thought."
"You have no right to say anything about her." Steve piped up quickly defending his teammate.
Perhaps if I want to break the unbreakable Black Widow I must threaten her friends first. The feeling of pure hatred towards Ivan was so overwhelming that Natasha lashed out against her restraints. Ivan laughed.
"You son of a b**ch! You will never get away with this and don't think for a minute that I won't kill you as soon as we get out of here. Я убью тебя медленно и мучительно вы мудак. " Natasha growled. (Translation: I will kill you slowly and painfully you a**hole.)
"Now this is the Natalia I know!" Ivan slowly made his way back towards her table. "That's enough for today. Bring them back to their room." Ivan's guards nodded and grabbed the guys dragging them towards the door. The guards returned for Natasha about five minutes later. They roughly undid her restraints and hauled her to her feet.
The sudden weight on her bad leg caused it to buck under her weight. She quickly regained her composer limping to the door. The whole way back to the room was silent except for the guards poking her in the back with their guns telling her to move faster. They slammed open the door and roughly pushed her in again making her bad leg cave under her and she fell to the ground.
The door slammed shut behind her. Steve helped her to her feet and she slowly made her way over to Clint in the corner. "Are you ok Clint?" asked Natasha. "This is my entire fault I'm sorry that you're all here." Natasha started to inspect Clint's chest.
"Don't be silly Natasha. We would be going crazy if we weren't here with you, if you were going through this alone." Bruce said. The cut on Clint's chest was long almost the full length of his chest but shallow. It was nothing more than a simple surface cut, Natasha realized to her relief.
Clint allowed her to check him over even though he knew he was fine. It was the only way to make her feel better and he knew it. When she looked satisfied that he was ok he grabbed her hands and forced her to look at him.
"Natasha you need to sit down. You're just going to hurt yourself more." Clint forced her eyes to his the whole time. She nodded slightly. He wrapped his arms around her and maneuvered her to the ground and on to his lap. He leaned back so that she was more comfortable.
Natasha buried her head in his neck. He knew that it had been hard to have Ivan suddenly reappear in her life. She had tried so hard to forget the horrors of her life before Shield. Of course the nightmares still haunted her at night but he was always there to help her through them. She was still strong though and wouldn't let Ivan break her.
Bruce whispered to Clint that he needed to look at Natasha's injuries again to make sure they weren't getting infected. Clint nodded lowering his mouth down to her ear. He whispered soothingly to Natasha that Bruce was going to look at her wounds. Natasha nodded the slightest bit.
As Bruce checked over Natasha's injuries Steve and Tony stood in the background. They were worried about Natasha. She was their little sister. As soon as Bruce declared all of her injuries to be not infected they let out a breath of relief. They all sat and relaxed, well as much as you can when being held captive by a psychopath hell bent on revenge towards your little sister.
Suddenly they heard a noise. Tony and Steve jumped quickly to alert. They didn't hear it again for several minutes. They heard the noise again this time louder. Bruce let out a low chuckle. Tony and Steve turned around to see what was the matter with Bruce, how could he be laughing right now?
They turned to see why Bruce was laughing and soon had small smiles spread across their face as well. Clint was leaning back against the wall with Natasha gathered to his chest. Her eyes were closed and her breathing even she was obviously asleep. Clint's head slumped forward resting on top of Natasha's. Clint was asleep as well.
They heard the noise again. This time they realized where it was coming from. They wondered how Natasha didn't wake from Clint's loud snoring. Then they remembered that they were married and slept in the same bed every night.
The three conscious Avengers' settled back down. They all tried to get a little sleep. They had a feeling they wouldn't be getting much in the days to come.
Well that's it! Please review. Give me some pointers, criticism, praise, or even tell me that you hate it. Just give me something! Anyway I'll try to update soon! Bye guys. Until next time! Love you!
