A couple of mornings later, 11 days post the Snap Nat decided she couldn’t take it anymore and told Steve she wanted to go to Clint’s.
“I have to know…” she said, looking at Steve. He sighed and glanced over her shoulder to Katie who merely shrugged. She knew where Nat was coming from, it was killing her not knowing what had happened to Tony.
“Alright.” he acquiesced, “Let me grab a jacket.”
“I’ll meet you on the jet?” she asked. He nodded and watched her go before he turned to his wife who was studying him over her coffee.
“If Barton was alive he would have been here by now.” Steve said dragging a hand down over his beard as he dropped onto the sofa next to Katie “I don’t understand why she doesn’t see or get that?”
"Put yourself in her shoes…” Katie said as she curled in on herself under a blanket on the sofa as a particularly nasty cramp hit her stomach “You’d do the same thing for Bucky, or Sam… or me.”
"You know that I would.” he replied, noticing her shift in position and he frowned but before he could say anything she placed her hand on his bearded cheek.
“Then just go, let her see. Plus, you could be wrong.”
“I suppose it’s happened from time to time.” he said and Katie smiled as he leaned over to press their foreheads together.
“Not really” she said, “But I’ve taken some painkillers, and Dr Kellet is coming over later. Thank fuck she wasn’t snapped…”
“I can ask Thor to go with Nat instead.” Steve looked at his wife.
“She asked you for a reason.” Katie said gently, “She trusts you. And I think if its bad news, she’s gonna need you.”
“Ok, well, if you’re sure.” he looked at her again and she nodded. “I love you.”
“I know.” she smiled “I love you too. Now go.”
