(happy birthday steve )
Love. Writer
Weeks, days, were eternal for natasha. Steve's health was getting to bad, to worst, banner told the avengers that cap's body was not resisting the poison. His body was likely before he became Captain America
"natasha, I-i ... Give him like three days of life" bruce told natasha, who was standing and crying next to steve's bed
She put her hand in her mouth, not allowing her to cry at loud "why ?... He's my LIFE... natasha saw steve and cleaned her tears ...and his birthday is in a week. Maybe he'll be dead to then" bruce lowered his head
"I did what was in my hands to save him. Sorry... he said and walked away "I'll be in the lab, if you need me" natasha nodded slowly, her eyes not leaving steve, staring at his face
"baby... she whispers and leans closer to him "please wake up... Do it for me. Do any move, a finger, open your eyes. Or whatever but, please... Wake up" natasha begged steve, as she cry loudly
At the lab...
Bruce was so upset about steve's situation, because he was an expert on the super serum. Half of his life he studied all about it with betty, and - ... 'wait, ¡ betty ! That's it ! She haves my old research about steve's serum ! maybe I can search for an antidote there !' bruce said to himself. So he quickly took his phone out and dial her number "betty ?"
"bruce ?" she answered
"yeah ! Uhh, I was calling to ask you a quick question" he asks while rubbing his neck with his palm
"of course, what is it ?"
"remember how was, obsessed with steve's super serum ?"
"umm, yeah, and I think you still have that obsession"
Bruce chuckles and continues"uhh, back in your lab, I left some research about his serum. Do you still have them ?"
"no... betty said and bruce's hopes were destroyed
"are you kidding me ?!" bruce say sadly
"but... I remember some few things about it" she told him and his face lighted up
"really ?! Well, can you come at the avengers tower ? But please, the fast as you can"
"umm, yeah sure, see ya there"
Banner smiled to himself and said "okay, we have less than three days to do that antidote"
"what happen with steve's serum ? How's he going ?"
"pretty bad. The poison is absorbing the serum. But luckily it's not killing it" bruce told her. When he hang out, bruce quickly prepared everything for the antidote.
Two days later, bruce and betty, finally discover the cure for steve "finally, we've got the antidote, and this time I'm pretty sure is the right one" bruce said when he and betty entered steve's room. The other avengers were there, because bruce told them the great news "let's just wait until tomorrow morning" the doctor said while going to put steve the antidote
"if the antidote worked, tomorrow his body will be like captain america's. But if it doesn't works... betty didn't finish and the rest lowers their head, knowing what she was trying to say. Banner finishes putting the antidote and said "okay, just, wait for tomorrow" the avengers sees steve. His body was know like he was before captain america, all skinny and sick.
"hey stevie... natasha was entering steve's room in the morning, when she saw something "What the - ... BRUCE !" she screams and said to tony's computer assistance "jarvis ! Call doctor banner !"
"yes, Mrs. Rogers" the A.I said as natasha was running to steve
"steve ! Thank God !" natasha saw that the antidote worked. Steve recovered while the whole night ! and voila ! It was like miracle happened... His body was not full healed, but he was buffing up, his heart was sounding stronger and he was not having problem to breathe " ¿ can you hear me ?" natasha cupped his face as she let tears of joy leave her eyes "it's me, natasha, please make a sign -
Bruce burst into the room "nat ! What is it ?!" natasha turned to see him. The doctor didn't need any words to see what was happening "on my God... he says as seeing steve was finally recovering 'it work.. It worked !' bruce said to himself while he signed relief "he made it" banner smiled at natasha, while she was still crying quietly and release his face
"bruce ! What happen ?!" clint ran to the room
"it's cap OK ?!" tony yelled as he was behind clint
Thor pushed them and said, well BOOMS "my friend Steven is alright !?"
"yeah... natasha smiles at them and turned her glance at her husband
"the antidote worked ?" betty says as she enters the room, bruce and the rest turns and nodded
"it's matter of hours he can wake up" bruce said. Betty smiled at steve and natasha, and stands next to bruce
"thank you, bruce" natasha sits in the chair and bruce nods at her "thank you too, betty" the redhead sees her and give her a warm smile. Ross smile at her back while nodding too
"this is sooo great!" clint said
"yeah, cap is recovering his body again" tony says
The avengers and betty turned their glance at the billionaire and risen one eyebrow at him "what you like his body ?" natasha teases stark
"haha. Funny, little red" tony shows her his middle finger and took out his tongue too. The rest laughed and make fun of stark until thor saw that natasha was staring at steve blankly and with love. So the thunder boy said in a low voice
"I think we should let lady natasha be alone with friend Steven" tony and clint turned to see natasha and nodded
"yes, you're right point break" tony whispered too as they made their way out the room
"call us when he awakes !" clint yelled at natasha and she nods. Betty saw why they left, so she elbowed to bruce. The doctor sees betty and she gestures him to leave, bruce then turned his glance at Natasha and he understand why betty gesture him to leave. So he and betty leave quietly the room. Then the redhead heard no sound and saw she was alone, so she said with proud in her words
"I can't believe it. You won the battle... Natasha lays next to him and hugs his torso tightly with one arm "you never give up... That's why I love you so much" she smiles brightly
Bruce went to the lab with Betty and chat about the awesome news of steve "betty ! It worked !" bruce said very happy
"yes ! That's great !" betty smiled at him and went to hug bruce.
Once she hugged him, the scientific stood shocked, but slowly hugs her back "yeah... Uhh... Yeah" bruce said shyly and broke their embrace. Betty sees him sad and asked him
"why you leave me ?" bruce turned around and betty stand behind him "why you didn't call me back ? - I mean, we could've work this out" her words sounded with hurt
"betty, I don't want to hurt you -
"but you'd SHOULD called !" betty grab his arm and turn him to face her. Banner saw her eyes were watery and kinda red
"I'm sorry okay ?!, I was scared - to hurt you... Bruce lowered his face but slowly lifted up and sees directly to her eyes "I love you... Since your father introduced us"
Betty smiles with love at him "why you didn't said that, since the beginning ?" bruce smiled at her back and sighs
"like I said, I was scared"
"let me guess. Because the hulk ?"
Bruce nods "yeah...
"you know I'm not afraid to it" she cups her hands on his face
"but I am" he caress her cheek "I am afraid HE, can hurt you"
"he can't hurt me. Because inside of him, there's a man, who won't let that happen" betty leaned closer to his face to kiss him
"I will never hurt you" bruce whispers and leans down, and kisses betty's lips
"remember when we went to Disneyland and tony was afraid that he would fall from the dumbo ride ?" natasha said to steve, who was still asleep but thankfully recovering his health, slowly, but recovering "it was really funny seeing him almost throwing up, while the kid next to him was telling him 'be a grown up man ! Don't be a crybaby !'. Damn I loved that kid" natasha laughed and then turned to see steve "I can't wait to see you waking up and telling me, that you love me" she remains next to steve, just waiting the moment he woke. Couple of hours passed and natasha fall asleep in steve's embrace talking to him about their great and funny moments they passed together, the boys went to check them out and found that steve still doesn't awaken and natasha finally sleeping relaxed and soundly, almost with a smile on her face. So they decided to leave her to sleep with her stevie until she woke up or steve woke her up.
It was like seven when natasha begin to stir because she was cold, the spy scanned the room and saw they're were still alone. Then natasha turned to see steve... And he was smiling lovingly at her and he said "hey, my love...
Natasha slowly smiles at him back, still doubting if it's a dream or finally he's awake. Steve caressed her cheek and she closes her eyes feeling his warmth again against her skin. So a river of tears come from her eyes and watch him closely "steve !" her voice was cracked and she throws herself on top of him
"ouch ouch ou -
"I'm sorry... steve smiled and grabs his left arm that was bandaged. Natasha cleans her joyful tears and hug him again, but this time softly "God ! You're finally awake !" steve hug her with his good arm "I've thought you might die"
"well, you won't get rid of me so easily" steve said and strokes his fingers through her red hair
Natasha chuckled "that's my boy" she broke the hug and rests her forehead on his. Natasha desired for the moment to see again his amazing blue eyes, she slowly leaned over his lips and kissed them with love, steve kissed her back and grabbed the back of her head to go deeper on the kiss. Natasha slowly parted and smiled "I miss like crazy your kisses" steve smiles too and peck a kiss "I have to inform the others that you're finally awake" she said
"okay" he protested and peck for another kiss, that natasha happily give it to him
Once natasha enter the main floor, the boys were eating junk food and playing video games "hey, guys" natasha greets them
"hey" "Hello red -
" ¡¿ did my friend steven awaken ?!" thor yelled. Natasha smiled at him and nodded happy, slowly the guys smiled and cheered " ¡ AYE ! my friend it's mighty !" Thor lifts his hammer in victory
"are you're serious, natasha ?!" clint yelles and tony was still on shock
"yeah, he's waiting for see you guys" natasha grins
The boys run towards the elevator and patiently waited for natasha could get on it, once she press the button for the medical floor, the three troublemakers were excited to see their friend awake again. When natasha open steve's room door, thor boomed "AHH ! Brother Steven !" he opened his arms and smiles at the captain and stood next to his left, steve smiles back and says
"thor ! ... Hey bud" steve bring up his right hand, he and thor did their secret hand shake, and once they finished their salute, clint said
"cap, I've thought you wouldn't make it" he shakes cap's hand and stands on the right of the bed "you scared the crap out of us" hawkeye punches slightly his good arm
"yeah.. Sorry" cap said
"stevie boy ! Ahh, you're finally awake !" tony grab his foot and shook it
"hey stark" steve waves at him. They keep chatting a little when they heard a small knock on the door
"hello, guys... bruce greets as he and betty enters the room. The doctor smiles when he saw steve finally has awaken "cap ! Glad to see you recovering"
"thank you"
Steve said. Natasha walks towards steve and stood next to thor "steve, he and betty made the antidote, that saved your life"
"really ? Well... I'm very very thankful for it"
"you don't have to, cap - actually it was betty who remembered all the research" bruce said proudly. Steve and the others saw that they were holding hands "so give her the credit" bruce elbows her
"no no -
Steve chuckled loud "thank you, betty" the captain smiled charmingly at her
"it's okay, steve" betty was trying so hard not to blush, but it was so impossible not to get shy when captain america smiles at you !
Tony clapped and yells "SOOO !" everyone turned their eyes at him"we have to prepare a birthday party for steve !"
"tony ! He just got put of coma !" natasha give tony a death glare
"you don't have to worry, natasha" betty informed her "steve will be like before in a day or less"
"see !?" stark say at natasha and she rolls her eyes
"friend steven ! Your birthday will be the coolest ever !" thor promises
"it's still funny that your birthday is the fourth of July" tony said while trying not to laugh
"well, let's get some fireworks, patriotic plates, cups, napkins, banners... Everything !" clint yells
"yeah, let's go guys !" tony says to the rest and said to steve and natasha "well, see you around, we will leave you alone"
"bye" the couple said as they all leave
But before the two scientists could leave, natasha told them "thanks for everything, bruce and betty" the doctors smiled at her, and while closing the door, they saw natasha was helping steve to sit down...
Fourth of July...
*avengers and friends singing*
"... ¡ Happy birthday to you !" as the song finish, the people cheers for steve and clapped happily and the captain smiled at them. He was like 80 percent of recovered, these last days, natasha was so overprotective with him, steve told her he was okay, but still she was so careful with him, prepare him food, help him to get dressed, not letting him to walk to much.
The avengers decorated the main floor as america theme, U.S flags hanging all over the place, banners that said 'happy b'day america', patriotic napkins, cups and plates. Even the people were dress with blue, white and red...
"make a wish !" tony yelled as all of them were recording with their phones. Steve sees the candles and smiles to himself, he blows the candles off and everyone claps, once he finished, tony says
"OK ! Who wants cake ?!" everybody cheers up and waits for their piece
Cap let jane to hand out the captain america's shield form cake to everyone. Then suddenly he feels some smalls and delicate hands sliding through his abs all the way up to his chest, hugging him from behind "hey birthday boy" steve smiled, knowing to who that sexy voice belongs to. Steve turned around to face his lovely wife and kissed her
"hey" he said as he broke the kiss
"I have a present for you" she said while pecking other kiss
"babe, your gift is on the present table -
"yeah but, this one is more cooler" natasha told him while forcing him to follow her up. Once they were on the elevator, steve asked
" ¿ are you gonna rape me or something ?"
Natasha give him a look "I've will love to, but ... steve chuckle and she smiled at him "no" they remain in silence as they reach the top of the tower. Cap frowned when he saw
"the roof ?"
"yep, the roof" Natasha grabs his hand and took him to a bench she brought up before"come on, it's about to start" Steve followed her and they sat on the bench. They waited for 2 minutes, when a display of fireworks began
Steve's face lighted up as seeing the awesome show "wow, it's amazing" he said while putting his arm around her shoulders
"I told you, you'd like it" Natasha says, steve looks down and smiles at her
"not as I like you" he says and leaning towards her addictive lips
"oh really ?... she peck on his lips and plays with his shirt buttons "well, maybe we can 'disappear' for a couple of minutes ?" steve laughs and kisses her...
