❝I wanted to do that for a long time❞

    𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐎𝐍, 𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐀 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐉𝐀 were making their way to the lifeboats in a car when Clint spoke up. "I know what I need to do. The dining room! If I knock out that east wall, it'll make a nice work space for Laura, huh? Put up some baffling, she can't hear the kids running around, what do you think?", he asked the Twins.

"You guys always eat in the kitchen anyway", Natasha answered him, "Yeah, that's true", Ana nodded from the backseat.

"No one eats in a dining room", Clint tried to defend himself. As they reached the lifeboats Clint looked at the people, "We don't have a lot of time." Natasha looked at him as she hoped out of the car, "So get your ass on a boat."

The three got onto one of the lifeboats, but Clint noticed a woman calling out for her son. "Costel? We were in the market. Costel?!", the women screamed scraped for her son. Barton looked at the Russians and ran off to find the boy.

"I'm going after him", Anastasija quickly informed Natasha before she followed after him. She made her way through the destroyed city until she reached Barton, he was already trying to save the little boy.

"Clint, we have to hurry!", she shouted at him worried and right in that moment Ultron started shooting at the two agents. Clint and Ana looked at each other shocked, that was it, they were both going to die and nothing could save them from what was about to happen.

Anastasija looked at her sister one last time and saw that Natasha already run towards her as well as Eva but it would be to late. Anastasija just closed her eyes and breathed out, but nothing hit her.

She slowly opened one eye and saw that a car was shielding them from Ultron. She furrowed her eyebrows and looked to her left and there she saw Pietro who had intervened. 

He took the shot's to save Clint and Ana, the Sokovian looked at Barton and smiled one last time, "You didn't see that coming."  The light in his eyes was gone and Pietro fell to the ground.

Anastasija was shocked and her gaze immediately fell onto Eva, who's hand was clapped over her mouth as Barton quickly approched Pietro and  checked his pulse. Steve approched them as well but Barton shook his head, Ana deeply breathed out.

Her eyes still laid on Eva who had stared crying hardly as she slowly sunk to her knees. The russian wanted to say something but as she opened her mouth the ground suddenly started shaking. Eva let out a scream and a wave of emergy left her body throwing them all to the ground.

Anastasija shielded her head with her arms as she collided with the floor and after a moment the russian could only hear the quiet sobs of the sokovian teenager.

The blond stood slowly up and lifted the little boy up before she pressed him to her chest, so he wouldn't see Pietro's body as she quickly walked back to the Helicarriers. Steve lifted up Pietro and brought him with him to the Helicarriers as Eva followed after them still crying.

Ana delivered Costel safely to his mother onto the lifeboat, as a man went over to help Clint with his wounds. "No, no. I'm fine", Clint assured him as he laid down next to the dead body of Pietro.

Ana sat down on their opposite, her hands resting on her chin, she couldn't take her eyes of Pietro and Eva who sat besides him stroking his head.

He didn't knew them and sacrificed his life for Clint and her in a second. Of course she already saw people die, — sadly she killed a lot of them herself but she wasn't that person anymore.

"Oh, it's been a long day", Clint sighed still laying on the bench as he closed his eyes. Steve finally entered the Helicarrier, he looked also very exhausted as he stood there watching the people.

Anastasija turned her head and watched the man, the people around her disappeared and the voices grew quieter.

She almost died today and even if she was convinced that Steve Rogers was to good for someone like her she stood up and slowly made her way over to him.

He still had his back turned to her so he didn't saw her until she shouted his name, "Steve!" The man turned around, his brows raised, as he saw who called him he smiled.

Ana speeded up until she stopped right before Steve, her breath hitched in her throat, so did his.

They looked into each other's eyes until they both quickly leaned their heads towards each other and finally kissed. It felt like thousands of butterflies were flying around in her stomach as her lips were on Steve's.

Anastasija smiled into the kiss and so did Steve as he softly grabbed her by the waist. After a moment they let go of each other, Ana looked up into his blue eyes while he gazed into her forest green ones.

"I—", she tried to say something but she was at a loose for words. She closed her mouth again and looked to the ground, "I wanted to do that for a long time", Steve spoke up watching her face.

The women abruptly looked up, a surprised look on her face, "You did!?", she questioned confused as she furrowed her eyebrows. "Yeah, since the thing with Bucky", he said as he rubbed his neck with his right hand.

Ana chuckled quietly and wanted to say something but right in this moment they heared the city explode in the distance. They both turned to th explosion and watched as the city fell into the water.

After all off this was over Natasha and Anastasija were quartered in the new Avengers facility in upstate New York together with Steve.

They would all help to train the new Avenger trainees. Natasha and Anastasija were just looking at Barton's new baby on their phones.

"Say hi to Auntie Nat, and Ana", they could here Laura's voice in the video she had sent. On the baby's shirt stood in big letters Nathaniel Pietro Barton. "Fat", Natasha said smiling, Ana laughed as she looked at her sister and back at the phone.

"One of our tech boys flagged this, splashed down in the Banda Sea. Could be the Quinjet. But with Stark's stealth tech, we still can't track the damn thing", Fury told them as he stepped into the big room. The twins looked up from their phones, "Right", Natasha sadly answered as she tried to smile.

"Probably jumped out and swam to Fiji. He'll send a postcard", Fury tried to cheer her up. "Wish you were here", Natasha chuckled sadly, Ana laid her hand on Tasha's shoulder, she knew that her sister was sad.

Fury turned around and began to approche the door, "You sent me to recruit him, way back then. Did you know then what was going to happen?", Natasha asked him curious.

Nick looked at the two Russians, "You never know. You hope for the best and make do with what you get. I got a great team", he smiled at them. Anastasija looked at him and sighed, "Nothing lasts forever."

He looked at her, "Trouble, Ms. Romanoff. No matter who wins or loses, trouble still comes around", he said to the blonde women before he stepped out of the door and left the Russians alone again.

Outside the building Thor returned to Asgard which burned a huge circle in the grass he was standing on. Tony sighed and looked at Steve, "That man has no regard for lawn maintenance."

They turned around and started to walk towards Tony's car, "I'm going to miss him though. And you're going to miss me. There's going to be a lot of manful tears", Tony continued talking.

Steve gave Tony a side look, "I will miss you, Tony", he said and turned to look at the man, "Yeah? Well, it's time for me to tap out. Maybe I should take a page out of Barton's book and build Pepper a farm, hope nobody blows it up", he joked.

"The simple life", Steve told him smiling, "You'll get there one day, as I heared your on a good track", Stark told him smirking. Steve told Stark, "I know that Romanoff isn't a easily trusting person, but with you she seems pretty relaxed", he told Rogers with a knowing look.

Steve blushed lightly as he looked at the ground, "Just get your shit together and don't ruin the thing you two have", the man told him before he opened the car door and got in.

Steve looked at the ground, Peggy crossing his mind again, Tony rolled down the Window and looked over his glasses, "You alright?", he asked. Steve looked at him and smiled, "I'm home."

Immediately after Tony drove away Steve went to find Ana and Natasha who still stood in the hall talking to each other, when they heared Steve's voice behind them.

"You want to keep talking all day, or do you want to go to work?", he asked them smiling. "We thought you and Tony were still gazing into each other's eyes", Anastasija joked as she bumped her shoulder against his.

"How do we look?", Nat asked him, "Well, we're not the '27 Yankees", Steve replied to her chuckling. "We've got some hitters", Anastasija told him smiling, Steve gave her a look, "They're good, They're not a team."

Natasha sighed as they stopped before a door, "Let's beat them into shape", and with that she opened the door. There were Rhodes in his War Machine suite, Sam in his Falcon suite, Wanda, Eva and Vision who all looked at them, Steve cleared his voice before he said, "Avengers—"
