It was supposed to be a normal mission. Bust the Hydra base, call SHIELD agents for the clean up and have a brief debriefing on the site before going back to the tower to freaking relax. Tony would give everything to go that way, he really could. Because seeing that most of his teammates laying bloody on the stretchers inside the SHIELD jet were nightmare fuel for him. Thankfully most of them were not hurt that much.
Clint had a concussion with one broken leg and arm, Steve and Thor only had scratches on them (though they were pretty big and bloody), Bruce was fine thanks to Hulk and he himself had only mild concussion and a big ugly bruise covering his left eye which swelled and closed his sight. Natasha's though… She was the worst. From what he understood from the young medic and Jarvis, her situation was pretty bad (broken ribs and sprained ankle). "Considering she was the one who took the heat of the bomb inside the Hydra base, she is lucky that she isn’t dead." Said the medic with a grim expression.
Like Tony counted that as luck.
When they arrived to Helicarrier, medics rushed Natasha and Clint to the medical wing and others followed them closely behind, only to be called by Fury for a lengthy and unnecessary debriefing. Everyone, including Steve, was eager to leave the debriefing and go to the medical wing to see their friends. Though when they went there after one and a half hour of debriefing, they could only see Clint, who had his arm and leg on a fresh cast. He had a sad grin on his lips when he saw them getting inside, Tony with a cold compressor on his swollen eye. Clint greeted them silently, his eyes going between them, waiting for anyone to speak and fill in the uncomfortable silence.
"You look good Legolas." Tony said with a fake grin on his lips. Clint rolled his eyes at the nickname before others joined this speaking game too. Though after the first twenty minutes, Tony slowly slipped out from the archers room, making his way towards Natasha's room. He knew she wouldn't be awake like Clint was, doctors probably sedated her to sleep and give her the much needed time to heal her ribs. Otherwise Tony knew she would 'subtly' insist to be taken back to the tower. He was kinda lucky that after the worst thing passed away, he could pressure the doctors to sign her out from the medical wing. When he stepped in her room a nurse was injecting her something.
"It is morphine." The nurse answered the unasked question. She was probably used to get this question from other agents. "Though the dose is 3 times higher than normal, due to her fast metabolism." Tony nodded and after finishing her job she slipped away from the room, leaving Tony alone with Natasha's sleeping form. After a few seconds of hesitation, Tony pulled a chair close to her bed.
"You scared all of us." He muttered as he sat down on the chair before reaching and intervening his fingers with his girlfriend and closed his eyes tightly. Girlfriend. Tony and Natasha, it seemed like something impossible but without either of them realizing they developed strong feelings for each other. And now they were together over six months. He couldn't say they were perfect, they had big fights and negative shit came with miscommunication too but they always came to an understatement and make peace with each other with (surprisingly) snuggles or cuddles.
Though when he opened his eyes and saw Natasha awake despite the given sedatives and morphine and looking at him with unusually soft eyes, Tony scrambled to his feet quickly, nearly losing his balance. "You are awake!" He said, voice full of question and relief. "Why are you awake? I just saw the nurse give you 3 dose of morphine with sedatives…" he muttered, but stopped the moment he noticed that Natasha was trying to straighten up. "Hey, hey lay down you are not healed yet." He said though his protests fell on deaf ears as Natasha suddenly pulled him on the bed with an unexpected force. In a matter of seconds Natasha was already on top of him sitting comfortably, her eyes never leaving his eyes as she raised one of her hands to softly brush his bruised and swollen eye.
"You are so..." She said with a dopey smile, her words slurry. "pretty~" Okay… this was completely unexpected for him. He never saw Natasha like this.
"Thank you." He answered her with a lopsided smile on his lips, placing his hands on her hips. Though like she was just becoming aware of what happened, her eyes were focused on his bruised eye, brushing it carefully with her thumb.
"You shouldn't be allowed to get hurt." She muttered, her eyebrows furrowed as she licked her lips quickly. "I'm gonna protect you." Now she was looking directly inside his eyes, her green eyes full of seriousness. He laughed softly at that.
"And how are you going to do that dear?" He asked with a wide smile, his seeing eye looking at her amusedly.
"I'm gonna create laws." She said again with a serious expression on her face, pouty lips accompanying, which Tony somehow found it cute. If she learnt he ever thought that about her, she would break his arm herself, boyfriend or not.
"Laws huh? What are they going to say?" He said with a raised eyebrow, holding himself from laughing.
"Tony Stark," She whispers and full on tops him, slightly leaning down towards his face. "Hot damn."
Tony, who couldn't hold himself anymore, starts to laugh like he never did before in his whole goddamn life. It was funny really, seeing her high as a kite. Normally he was the one who got this high from morphine, not anyone from the team. "Oh God this-"
Natasha shut him up, kissing him fully on the lips, her hands cradling his face. Tony was completely caught off guard, his eyes widened slightly. For someone who was high on morphine, Natasha had an incredible control on her motor skills. Tony though pushed her enough from himself to look in her eyes. "Wow- Wow okay calm down." Though he couldn't see any sign that she was listening to him at all, as she started to press wet kisses down his jaw, making him gulp down.
"Nat, go to sleep." He said softly and surprisingly enough, she stopped and buried her face in the crook of his neck. He could feel her smile on his skin.
"Okay…" This was the last thing he heard from her as she started to snore softly on his neck, which made Tony smile softly. He wished he could see this side of her more frequently.
