(A/N this chap will be kinda weird and awkward)
I see Natasha walking in the living room
"Good morning," she says cheerfully
"Well somebody seems happy" I reply with a smile
"Oh shut it, you were freed from your brainwashing too, you know the feeling of freedom, even if it was a more painful and stupid method"
"Yes it is one of the best feelings in my life, feeling free from the shackles placed on you, the euphoria is wonderful, and it's not like I had much of a choice at the time when I was captured during the time Sheild fell, my brainwashing urged me to commit suicide, I was actually quite lucky everything worked out the way it did, Shield lost a lot when Coulson decided it was better to have me tortured by 'high tech experimental techniques' rather than giving them what they want in exchange for my freedom" I shake my head at their stupidity, If I was them i would have taken the deal, put a tracker on me and send agents to watch me 24/7. Welp their loss
"True, Shield isn't what it was before, I can barely recognize what it has become now. Well enough talking about them, today is my final session, one more and I am completely free"
"You are already free, all that's left are some Shield Ideals that you could get rid of on your own, but it's better to do it now."
"Well let's do it" she says with a smile as she sits down near me and puts her forehead against mine
(inside mindscape scene duh)
We find ourselves in the Original Shield base, the one that was used before 'The Fall'.
( I have no idea what base was used, and I'm just going to name the falling of Shield, 'The Fall', like 'The Battle of NY')
"Huh never thought I'd see this place again" I look around, same old boring Shield style trying to look 'cool', I prefer functionality over looks,
We go over all the memories of Shields's teachings, Fury's manipulations, we go through everything.
"Fury is a dead man, I wanted to kill him before, but now, I'll gut him and string him on a jet" this asshole is dead, just hearing this all over again and Nat's point of view too, is making me kinda angry, I mean I planned to kill him before, but now I'm super annoyed,
"Not if I get to him first" Nat says solemnly
"Let's make it a race, first to kill him gets a prize" I suggest
"What's the prize" she quirks an eyebrow
"Meh, we will think of it when we get there, Fury is good at hiding and running away, it will take a while for either of us to find him." I shrug my shoulders
"After we finish this I will send you back to Avengers Tower, there is a high chance you will meet Coulson there, what do you plan on doing?" i ask
"I don't know, I want to get revenge but I don't know which way to do it, I will ask them face to face and decide then." she asks after thinking for a while
I nod "Oh and when you get there tell Thor and Stark that I want do talk to them, I have something they want, and they have something I want, I suggest a trade"
She looks at me weirdly "You will go back there after robing some of the strongest people on this planet, to trade back the things you stole for more stuff, am I getting this right"
I grin " Why not, if I have the capability what's stopping me from doing it, if they attack me again, tell them I won't hold back next time"
This time she shrugs "I'll pass the message on, what they do after that isn't my problem anymore"
I smile "That's the spirit, now let's finish up" she nods and we get back to work
3 hours later we are done, we wake up, wait for our heads to clear up a bit
Nat breaks the silence first "So that's it huh, I don't know how I will ever repay you for this"
Hmm, I smiled " I can. How about we go to dinner to celebrate your recovery?"
She stopped for a bit then smirked and said in a teasing tone "Are you asking me out on a date?"
"We just undid years of brainwashing which is no easy feat, and I want to celebrate this by having a nice dinner with a beautiful woman. So yes I am asking you on a date"
( A/N Just a date people, strangers go on dates all the time with the intention of seeing if there is a chance for something more)
She smiled " When and where are we going?"
"I'm thinking about France, should be nice this time of year, as for when, how about now"
I summon the grimoire in my hand, a gentle light engulfs the both of us then stops
"What was that?" she asks looking at her hands, feeling no different
"That was a spies dream, we look completely different to everyone else except to each other, this way we can enjoy ourselves without having to look over our shoulders the entire night"
Then I open a portal and offer her my elbow, she takes it and we enter the portal
-(scene change)-
After we arrive in Paris, I take us to a somewhat pricy shop to buy suitable clothes for the evening, since I am kinda rich, and don't value money too much in this world, it's no problem for me.
We dress casually elegant and go to the fanciest restaurant nearby that takes without reservation.
(A/N google casually elegant, I will let you imagine what they are wearing, I'm definitely going to screw this scene up if I try now, so I'm not even going to bother)
We sit down on the top floor, order our meals and wait for the drinks to arrive.
"Going all out from the start, buying me clothes and taking me here, you sure know how to impress a girl" she teases a bit
"What can I say I don't do things half-heartedly" I give a smile back to that
"I forgot to ask the first time, but what is that magic book that appears and disappears, when you fought it's like it had a mind of its own"
"This.. is like an extension of myself, a part of me I separated and formed into a magic book or a grimoire would be the correct term, this helps me with magic and supports me when I fight, it's kind of similar to the AI that helps Stark"
The champagne arrives, we lightly clink our glasses and continue to have one of the best nights of my entire life.
When everything is over, we go change back to the clothes we came in, and had a nice walk and saw a sign 'Tango Dance Night' in front of the club, both of us were curious and we went inside. The place was full of people, mostly couples, dancing enjoying themselves. We stayed there for about half an hour and had an amazing time, dancing with someone like her who's trained in this was an amazing experience we left early because of the looks of awe that people gave us, guess we impressed the crowd.
After we finished our night, I took her to where she first landed when she was paralyzed.
Her Shield clothes are still here, so the wards worked and scrambled their search, otherwise, they would have taken the clothes, good to know for future use of this specific ward.
She goes to the other room to get changed, while I wait.
I kept thinking about the time I spent with her, and I am presently surprised that I find myself liking her, even if our situation was definitely a set up by some gods and goddesses.
She comes back in with her Shield clothes on and I backpack containing what I guess are the clothes she wore this evening. I open a portal that leads to a building near Avengers Tower, then I use the spell that will stop her from telling anyone about the important information she learned while she was me, she already knew about this and didn't even resist.
"I had a great time Natasha, you brought something I didn't know I needed in my life till now, I will be arriving at Avengers Tower in two days." I say with a smile
She hesitates, then as if she found her courage she quickly got right in front of me and gave me a soft kiss.
The kiss lasted for a minute or at least that's what it felt for me, I have never had a kiss quite like this one and I am including the experience from both lives. Once we separated she looked at me and said
"Thank you.. for everything I had an amazing time. I hope to see you at the Tower and I really hope you keep in touch even if i don't." and she walks in the portal
Word count 1500
(A/N I lost, again, I lost by a lot, fuck it. Never lucky, didn't win at all tonight. I don't count A/N in the word count, I said it multiple times. First time writing something like this, I can feel the awkwardness, I will rewrite it, give some advice on what's good and what's not.
Oh and to those who haven't been to a lot of dates before, it actually depends on the girl, but a kiss on the first date, if all goes well can be expected. I'm saying this, because there will be people in the comment section be like 'It's going too fast, totally unrealistic' and stuff like that.
What would be unrealistic if they fucked and fell in love right away. Love, at first sight, is unreal and impossible, you can strongly like someone, it's most likely lust though. Real love takes time to grow, to show itself, it can't happen just like that, people who commit to a relationship too early will ironically end up in a loveless marriage or a divorce. I think it was a 50% divorce rate in the US, and other countries are between 50% and 20%. Plus this is my fanfic i can make it anyway i want xD)
