being natasha and yelena’s little sister would include….
You and Natasha had a rocky start
she broke you out of the red room, but then abandoned you, twelve years old and alone in a small town the America
she routinely would check up on you, see how you’re doing
eventually, you got involved with SHIELD as a teenager- fourteen or fifteen
you never thought you’d see her again until she called you out of the blue after that whole berlin-captain america-iron man fiasco
you’re sixteen ish now. Never knew your own age
but you respond to her call, slightly angry, but glad she’s okay
imagine your surprise when another, blonde woman is in nat’s company
yelena
she doesn’t really recognize you
you remind her your name and she brushes it off
“you’re not (y/n), you’re too big.”
“it’s been twenty five ish years.”
you explain your cryogenic experimentation, how, after you turned twelve, you were frozen for a decade, give or take
the mind control is the outcome of your life
you guys free alexei
you in particular, make a point of ignoring him
he is such an idiot, and you just know that he recognizes you
at melina’s you guys have a merry family reunion
not really. it ends in you storming out and getting kidnapped by the red room agents.
post battle, you and nat rendezvous, waiting for Ross
“where you headed?” she asks. “i can wrangle you a spot on the team.”
to which you smile.
“the rogue Avengers? nah,” you’d say, making only a face someone who knows nat could make. “i have a cover waiting for me.”
“where?” natasha puts her hands on her hips. “so i can come visit.”
”obviously.” you look out over the approaching army vehicles. “Queens. some high school.”
”maybe i will visit.”
“i’ll have my couch open.”
natasha hesitates, and then wraps an arm over your shoulders, giving a squeeze.
you find your way back to each other - dinner on 49th, talk about life, act like sisters
when you get a dorky boyfriend, natasha’s the first person you actually tell
and when Tony Stark invites you to be part of his family, you have one condition: bring yours home
the whole thanks thing happens, your father kills half the universe and natasha stands by you
those five years, she’s still there
you spend hours remembering yelena
making plans
working at the rebuilt SHIELD again
you become big at Stark industries and natasha still teases you like normal
she and steve and anyone else come to your sanctioned avengers christmas parties
where you basically all get wasted after Morgan goes to bed
when she dies, you don’t know what to think
you hate clint barton
but you know he would never kill her
he loves her almost as much as you do
everyone comes back but natasha doesn’t
peter comes back but even that’s not good enough (you kick yourself for thinking that)
Tony, your dad snaps and you try
you try so hard to save him and land him in a coma
when yelena crouches at natasha grave, you’re there to return her whistle.
you hold her while she sobs and gasps like you did
when she comes to fight kate and clint, you hold her off
but then that’s almost the last you see of her for a while
until she knocks on your door in the middle of the night
“roommates?”
it’s a proposal, but it’s also a cry for help because black widows do everything alone
so you agree
and yelena lives with you, and you two find family, the pair of you
Kate and Peter, Bucky and Sam
you form a family
a family of broken pieces but a family all the same
