The Accords

Natasha Romanoff x Reader

Tony had called a meeting within the compound, stating it was of the utmost importance. Most of the team attended, just to tease him for using the word ‘utmost’. When you all arrived to the room, you were greeted by political people standing ominous at the front of a long board table. You raised your eyebrow at the situation, questioning why this meeting was serious.

“What is all this about?” you gestured to the rooms set up, along with the uptight people that have yet to say a word

“The government needs us to sign these accord papers” he threw a book onto the table, it slid all the way down to you

“Just like that? Are we allowed to read them?” you were hesitant, something felt off about the situation

“Of course, read over every page but just know that there is a time limit to this offer” one of the mysterious men stepped into view with a concerning smile on his face.

The meeting was filled with political terms, the governments agenda and how the avengers were a flight risk. When the heads of the government left the room, each avenger took their time reading over the accords, trying to decipher what it all meant. It left a heavy feeling within the room and divided the group equally. This lead to a debate that no one planned on having when they work up this morning. You were the first to erupt from your chair in the corner.

“I honestly don’t think anyone read the fine print of the accords” you heavily sighed at your statement, knowing full well that this will cause more tension

“Which part?” Tony countered, stepping forward as a tactic to overpower you

“The part about enhanced beings, the even bigger part where it says I have to relinquish my powers.” you picked up the accords and flipped through the pages, stopping at a specific page. “They are to be used for the government use only” you mocked the written words, using quotation marks as you spoke

“That’s not a big deal” Tony scoffed at your statement, simply shrugging off the bigger issue

“I don’t think you understand. If they told you to give up your suit, you could because it’s not a part of you. I was born with these powers and will most likely die with these powers. I can’t get rid of them, they are me. What you’re saying is that I should surrender myself to the government and archive who I am so they can use me as a pawn when needed. Do you understand how fucked up that sounds?” You could feel the heat rise to your face, every part of you was buzzing, gearing up for the fight ahead

“Babe, there are ways around that, I’m looking into it” Natasha offered a gentle hand on your shoulder

“Don’t get me started on you. You would have read the accords inside and out. Which means you also agree to all the terms and conditions. You would sign an agreement that states that your partner needs to be subjected to medical testing? It’s like a casual drug test to them except they are stealing my DNA to do god knows what. I will be poked and prodded for the rest of my life, they will make me weak so I won’t be a contender on their board” your voice had changed ever so slightly, only Natasha picked up on the change

“(Y/N) it’s not like that” Natasha debated, you could see she was at war with herself over this decision

“I can’t believe you’re fighting me on this. I thought that you of all people would be against this. A few months ago, you were the one telling the government to shove it. And now all of a sudden you’re willing to give me up for what you think is the greater good?” You pleaded with her, you needed her to be on your side

“It’s what needs to be done” a final statement from Tony who was over this conversation. He collected his things before making his way out of the room.

“Why should I sacrifice my body and my powers just because you want to do the "right thing” for the first time in your miserable life?“ You had the last word, you used it by rubbing salt into his wounds. Tony came to a halt, you could feel the anger radiating off his still body. You waited for a response but you were left with empty space as he squeezed his fists shut before stomping out of the room. It was as if a weight had been lifted off your shoulders and you began to shake. Your tears fell at a rapid rate as your breathing became unsteady. The betrayal of your team, hitting hard enough to knock the wind out of you. As you cry silently, you felt a pair of strong arms wrap around you.

"It’s going to be okay” Natasha’s calm voice filled the room

“I don’t think it is” You mumbled between your tears, leaning into the familiar touch. She turns you around so you were face to face. You could see the challenging emotions she was trying to make sense of. Her most prominent was worry and a hint of fear.

“I will do whatever it takes to protect you from this, I’m only agreeing to the accords to gather as much information as I can to fix this” her eyes melted into yours as you both stood still in the middle of the room

“Thank you” it was above a whisper but nonetheless Natasha heard, she placed a soft kiss on your head and held you closer to her chest.
