A/N: For the anon who requested She by The Blaze. Hope you like it!

A heavy grunt leaves your lips as you incapacitate yet another mercenary. Your head whips around in search of more enemy combatants in your vicinity when (y/e/c) eyes catch sight of a vision of crimson beauty gracefully weaving through flying bullets and swinging limbs. 

A hand raises to clutch at your stomach as a kaleidoscope of butterflies demand to make themselves known deep within you. Breathless, you can do nothing but stare at the Russian assassin’s intricate bloody dance. Your eyes, glued to every movement of her lithe muscles, refuse to blink in fear that the angel of death before you might disappear should you lose sight of her even once. 

“Thinking about helping anytime soon or are you just going to stand there catching flies?” She grunts with a smirk.

Shaken from your reverie, your limbs automatically jump into action. Muscle memory takes over and you grin. Back to back with the love of your life, you move as a single unit. In perfect sync, your enemies don’t stand a chance and soon, there’s nothing left but a pile of unconscious bodies littering the floor around you.

“Well... that was fun,” you break into a wide grin as you turn to face your girlfriend.

She rolls her eyes but steps closer to you. 

A gloved hand rubs gently against the side of your cheek, wiping away stray droplets of blood that have no right to mar your features.

“You and I have very different definitions of fun, Lyubimiy.” 

You raise an eyebrow, eyes nearly glowing in adoration.

“Oh? And what would your definition be?”

A cheeky smirk crawls onto the redhead’s face.

“This.”

A/N: For the anon who requested Keep Holding On by Avril Lavigne, sorry this took a thousand years taking 6 classes on top of work was a mistake I am paying for 🙃

Bright flashes illuminated the room casting shadows of water droplets racing each other down cold glass over your face. You sat against the window, knees tucked to your chest leaning against the wall, watching lightning flash across the stormy skies above. 

There was once a time where raucous laughter surrounded you, drowning out even the loudest echoes of thunder. But now?

There was only the quiet echoes of silence answering the call of the raging winds beyond these empty walls.

Ever since the battle of Wakanda, nothing would ever be the same for your family.

  In truth, nothing was the same since your so-called “Civil War” but with the rising threat of Thanos, you had all chosen to stride past any lingering grievances.

You had all fought so hard... and lost too much. 

Failure was never an option, and now?

Earth’s Mightiest Heroes couldn’t bare to live with the reminder of their mistakes within this concrete fortress, and so, one by one, they scattered. 

Ashes in the wind, all settling in new places.

Some, like the Man of Iron, chose to move forward and accept their new future.

Others, like the God of Thunder, grew stagnant in their remembrance of the past.

And you?

You couldn’t be sure what you were doing, the only surety in your life was the firm resolution to never leave your redheaded salvation’s side. 

Still...

You mourned the loss of your family and as you reminisced over past stormy nights sheltered in warmth and cheer, tears slid down your cheeks unbidden. 

Step. Step. Step.

Thin arms wound their way around your shoulders, pale fingers guiding your head into the crook of a neck.

“Shhh... ya zdez’, moya dorogaya. I’m here.”

You release a broken sob, burying yourself further into Natasha’s hold, heart aching for those now long gone. All the while she never relented in her soft whispers and soothing caresses.
