It was Friday, and Tanya was visiting Stark Tower, for real, this time. For one hour, she looked at Bruce and Tony working together. She found amusing how both adults were teasing each other like two brothers. They were working on something she didn't know, so after a while, she went back to the floor were her room was.

At 7pm, the agent Hill came to see them to announce that they were all invite, Tanya included, at the annual reception of SHIELD, which was going to be Sunday evening.

Clint explain to Tanya that every year, there was a reception for all the SHIELD agents available, and others, like Stark and Banner and some others. The reception is given in a big room, with a buffet and a bar. Maria told them that Fury even tried to contact Thor, without success. Tanya whispered that maybe she was going to come.

''Natasha's going to convince her'' Steve said to Clint, once Maria was gone and Tanya had escaped in her room. ''What happen to her? I saw her with Bruce and Stark, but she barely talked to you today.''

''Forget that.'' Clint sighed.

Steve add nothing.

Natasha arrived at 3pm. She was exhausted. She was so tired that she fell on a desk in the living room, and a book fell on the floor.

''Shit!'' she whispered.

''Nat?'' Steve asked, his head in the door of his room. ''Is that you?''

''Yes'' she grumbled.

Steve get out of his room and went to take Natasha in his arms. He did not saw the face of Natasha deformed under the pain. He released her.

''I'm so glad you still alive'' he said.

''Don't repeat that to Tanya'' she said. ''She will freak out if she hear you say that.''

''Okay. Good night.''

Steve kissed her on the cheek and went back to his room. She did the same thing and went to see Tanya. She touched slowly her hair to wake her up gently. Tanya opened her eyes.

''Tasha?'' she asked.

''It's me. I told you I was going to come back.''

Tanya smiled. She hugged her sister gently, comparatively to Steve.

''I need to go take a shower'' Natasha said. ''Good sleep.''

She kissed her on the forehead and escaped in the bathroom. She removed her shirt and removed the bandages that was covering the injury on her right scapula. She had received two bullets there. It was bleeding slightly, but it was hurting her a lot. She didn't want Tanya to learn about it, because she didn't want her to heal her and feel the pain she was feeling. And also, she didn't want her to think that the missions she was doing were dangerous... even if it was the case. Natasha would do anything so her sister could live here, even hiding an injury that was hurting her a lot.

''Sister forever, not matter what'' she thought.

I added Steve in the description, because I thought he was also a part of the story... also, Captain America *_*
