This one's kinda messed up!

A lot to put in only 3350 words!

But since I've had too many cliffhangers( yeah, sorry about that😅) I'm gonna try to upload faster:)

••✦❤️🕷❤️ ✦••

Steve's jaw was clenched, hands in tight fists as he paced around the living room.

"Um, cap, we got a problem" Tony had said over three hours ago. "I cant figure if there's anyone in there or not" he'd said.

"Oh! There's no one in there" he'd shouted, sometime over two hours ago "Cap, the place is abandoned" he'd said.

"I'm getting a signal from the safe house" Maria had said "It's from Barnes" she'd said "He says someone's broken into the safe house"

"It was a fucking set up" Sam had said "It was just a trap to get us out" he'd said.

"He says Nat's missing" Wanda had said "He says there was some knockout gas and when they woke up Natasha was missing" she'd said.

"At least the kid's safe" Tony had breathed out as they'd reached the safe house, finding a very tired Peter sleeping on Bucky's bed.

"I can't track her" Maria had said as they'd all gathered around in the living room.

Steve was pacing around, feeling his blood boil.

"Well..."

Clint.

All eyes on Clint.

Steve was now pacing to Clint in a terrifying silence and he couldn't help but flinch.

"Woah woah woah. Calm down punk"

Bucky jogged to Steve, getting a hold of his arm.

"What did you do birdie?" Tony asked, more serious that they'd seen him in a while.

"Remember when Ultron took Nat?" He asked and they all nodded, Wanda shifting uncomfortably in her seat, causing Vision's arm to curl around her shoulder and give her a light squeeze which of course didn't go unnoticed by rest of them.

"What about it?" Maria asked.

Clint cleared his throat, giving Wanda somewhat of a smile before turning serious "I got Vision to make her a in-skin built tracking device."

Tony's eyes widened up "And you didn't tell us? Me??"

He shook his head "Didn't need to. It's not active all the time so when she's being searched for weapons or trackers or anything actually." then he turned to Vision "Can you track her?"

Vision nodded "I can track her as soon as it's activated"

"And when will that be?"

They all turned to watch Steve as he spoke his first words since the start of this whole mess.

His teeth were gritted and jaw was clenched, the vain in his neck pupping dangerously.

"We have no clue where she is, we have no idea who took her and I don't get why didn't they take anyone else??"

He snapped at no one but everyone.

He was tired. Hell, he was exhausted.

He hadn't slept since he'd got out the avengers headquarters and he was over stressed.

"Are you angry that they didn't take the kid and your own dude?" Tony questioned.

"No" Steve sighed, back hunching as he finally sat down on the couch "It's not normal to bust in a safe house with three agents and only take one, leaving the other two behind. Safe and sound."

He looked up at Tony "It means they only ever wanted Nat. It means..." he had to take a deep breath

"This whole thing was a set up. Getting us here, that whole thing with you not being able to get into the last locations security. It means they've either got someone within SHIELD or they've been watching us"

"They might have hacked their ways to the system" Tony mumbled "I've noticed someone's been trying to get into Friday's date base. I built up a firewall but they might've gotten to SHIELD's anyway."

They heard a gasp, "The classified files on Alexi" Maria mumbled.

"Alexi?? As in Natalia's ex-husband?" Bucky blurted with wide eyes.

Steve let out an involuntary growl at the use of name but let it pass by only nodding in response.

"He's alive?"

"Alive?" Sam questioned.

Bucky gulped "He was supposed to be killed, by Nat".

Steve's eyes widened "You're telling me he could be here for revenge??"

He barked as he marched to Clint "How do we find her location?"

Clint threw a glance to Vision "We don't know" he breathed out "The chip activates itself if she's hurt"

Steve felt his mouth going dry.

"Hurt?" Tony asked.

"Yeah. It recognizes any abnormality in her conditions and then it powers up and sends me a S.O.S message with her location." He explained.

"During the time you guys were on the run or undercover, I got it a couple of times" he told Steve "But every time she sent me a message to tell me she was fine."

"I didn't know that" Steve mumbled.

"Yeah, cause the chip was supposed to be a secret and your locations too. So she'd just tell me to ignore them."

"So if it's no signal, it means she's fine?" Sam questioned and Clint nodded in answer.

"And we have to sit around and wait for them to hurt her??" Maria chimed in frustration.

"I can check satellite footage and see what I can find. If they got here with a vehicle, we may get some clue" Tony answers as he walked to the dining table where Maria had left their laptops and started working, not paying much attention to rest of them.

"We need to figure out what they want with her, Captain."

Maria told Steve who was feeling miserably useless in the whole process.

They were talking about his girlfriend and he couldn't do a single thing. He nodded and walked with her, starting to dig in the files.

Clint decided to help them while Vision helped Tony and Wanda started going through Bucky's memories to see if she could find anything useful and Sam contact Fury to tell him what was going on.

It took an hour for the team trying their best to fool themselves as if they were doing anything useful until they all knew they were no help to their redhead agent. Fury had sent back up, apparently two teams agents who were on missions in Eastern Europe, twelve agents in total.

When Tony said he'd figured where they'd gone, they'd all been thrilled only to be bumped out over the fact that he hadn't find her exact location but figured direction they were headed.

Never the less, they started getting ready and decided to get a head start until Clint got a S.O.O signal.

Steve had declared they wouldn't take Wanda or Peter with them nor would they leave them behind. One of the agents from the backup teams would fly them back, since he thought the whole situation was dangerous for Peter and Wanda would be too tempting to leave behind like they'd done with Buck.

He didn't want either one to get hurt and the team had agreed with him, even more so, Tony had said it was the smartest thing he'd ever done.

So when the S.O.S signal finally came, they were on the right direction.

••✦❤️🕷❤️✦••

"Be careful not to hurt her"

"No ones aloud to touch her but me"

"The blood test results will be ready soon, sir"

"I want to be first to see it"

"She should gain conscious in a few minutes"

"Good. I want her alone in here when she wakes up"

"Now now, Alexi. You will wait for the test results"

Natasha had been awake for a while, deciding against opening her eyes and keeping her breathing in a calm pace to keep it from her surroundings.

Her body was sore and she could feel aches in her arms, thighs, sides and back that told her she was cut and bruised, hoping Vision's tracker would be activated already.

Realizing she was still in her shirt and jeans left her in relief.

She'd recognized two of the voices; but it wasn't doing her any help. Specially their thick Russian accent. She knew she was on a metal surface by the cold she felt. She hadn't felt when they took blood tests from her but she could feel her hands and feet being tied down.

She wanted to test if she could break out of them but was to worried to let the two men notice her consciousness.

Hearing Alexi saying he wanted her alone was threatening.

She remembered all the times she would've been left alone with him were never pleasant to her, she still had flashbacks and nightmares at times to remind her of those times.

"She's awake. I know it." Alexi growled; causing Natasha's breath to hitch.

"Oh, we're you trying to fool us, little one?" The familiar voice called out to her "You've been told not to do that before."

Natasha let her eyes flutter open.

"Ah, my beautiful little girl" he mused.

"Ivan" Natasha hissed, staring at the man who'd taken her to the red room to make her an assassin.

"She hasn't changed, has she?" It was Alexi, standing next to her strapped to a metal bed with one hand resting on her laps.

"Take your filthy hand off of me!" She snapped at him.

"Oh, I'm gonna do a lot mor-"

"Enough" Ivan cut him "Remember, test results first" he swatted Alexi away "Leave her alone for now"

Alexi growled but walked away and out of Natasha's sight.

She held her eyes on Ivan "What do you want from me? What tests did you do on me??" She questioned.

They heard a knock on the door and turned to see a man with a white lab coat walk in. Natasha took her time to analyze the room she was in.

She was somewhat in the middle of the room, on a metal bed and there was a metal table next to her with too many needles and knives for her to want to count.

It felt familiar, a hint of déjà vu crawling its way to her memory. She remembered the room, the supplies, the feeling.

Being Sterilized.

She gasped silently; her eyes now on the doctor.

"It seems the plan is already on proceed, sir"

He informed Ivan as he handed him some papers.

Natasha watched Ivan's lips curve up to a nasty smirk and his eyes shined "So... you've been a naughty little girl, haven't you?"

He mused "Sneaking around with America's golden boy?" He gave her a knowing look.

"What the fuck?? What did you do to me?"

Natasha's eyes were wide in fear. She knew she was still in her clothes, although she felt it was ripped at places but it did gave her a sense of safety. If she was clothed it meant Alexi hadn't touched her, yet.

But she had no idea how they could've possibly known about Steve and hers relationship.

"Don't worry, Natalia. We'll still get our own fun" She heard Alexi's angry voice before she saw him enter the room with a frown "Isn't that right, Ivan?"

Ivan shook his head "I can not risk her safety. You will have to wait"

Alexi growled "We had a deal!"

Ivan sent him stern glare that made him take a step back "We didn't have a deal, we had a plan! And now you'll have to wait for it to happen."

He warned, then turned to Natasha who was starting to feel helpless. "We will take good care of you, Natalia."

And with that, he stepped out the room with Alexi following close behind who turned off the lights.

Natasha, finding herself alone in the room, started to pull her arms and legs to test the cuffs strength but realized she was no match for them.

It didn't seem like any common material and she got a tingling feeling wondering if it was Vibranium or one of its combinations.

She was left alone for what she assumed to be an hour before she heard the door open and close and she heard footsteps approaching her in the dark.

"I'm curious" she recognized it to be a drunk Alexi "How did someone like you gets captain America? I remember you being good but that good?"

He placed one hand on Natasha's thigh and she shivered "How did you get that poor guy to sleep with you?"

His hand started traveling up her thigh "Does he know what happens to people who have sex with you?"

Natasha held her breath in, fighting the flashbacks of Alexi towering her "Does He know they end up dead??"

He palmed her intimate parts over her clothes and Natasha whimpered.

She'd gone through this before and never had she over powered him.

"You're still alive" it came out as a weak murmur.

"Yeah, after you shot me to die and ran away!"

He growled, increasing the pressure he was applying on her crouch.

"Ivan's men found me" his other hand was now on her neck, applying slight pressure.

Natasha could feel a single tear drop down her eyes "Please" she pleaded and Alexi seamed genuinely shocked "Please don't do it".

He gave her a smug look "Why should I do that? You've begged me before and it's gotten you no where"

Natasha shook her head, a simple "Please" falling from her lips.

"Oooh" he trailed his hand from her neck to her jaw to her lips "Are you scared your blonde won't accept you as the whore you truly are?"

His eyes were shining and Natasha couldn't help but shudder at his voice. She hadn't felt this weak in years and she had no idea how to control her feelings.

"We'll just see what he'll think of you when you're all used up!" He pulled himself on the bed, sitting right between Natasha's knees and towering her while his hands roamed her body.

Natasha was about to brake when she heard a loud thud from the hallway.

Alexi's head snapped to the door's direction just intime to see it drop down on the floor.

"Agent Romanoff, did you miss me?"

Tony beamed before realizing Natasha's situation as Alexi hopped of to the ground and then there was a blast from Tony's reactor sending him straight to the wall.

He hurried to Natasha, "Steve, I found her. Want me to bring her to you??" shouting through his coms and answered with "Ok. See you there" as he helped Natasha sit up.

"Where's Steve?" She asked with teary eyes, only now realizing how much she needed his presence.

"He's found the other guy, Ivan. Gone after him." Tony mumbled as he helped her up before scooping her in his arms "I'll take you to the quinjet, we'll meet him there."

Natasha clung to him by curling her hands around his neck and burying her head between her arms and his suit.

She ignored looking up as Tony flew her out the building to the quinjet.

If she could've hidden herself from the world she would've.

Tony let her down as they arrived, settling her down on a seat. She let her head fall back and closed her eyes, taking deep breaths to calm herself.

"Tasha!" She heard Clint shout for her and opened her eyes to meet him as he ran up the drop slide. Soon his arms were wrapped around her and head was buried in his chest.

"Are you ok??" His voice was leaking of fear and worry.

She nodded silently and rested her head on his side

"Where is Steve?" Natasha asked.

"He brought in that guy who was in charge and then went to get that asshole" he growled the last part.

"Alexi?"

He nodded "Yeah."

"And you'll get your soldier back" Sam added with a teasing smirk.

"Who by the way, was going out of his mind!" Tony chimed.

Natasha smiled, the thought warming her up and it didn't have time to fade away as they heard heavy footsteps and her green orbs met Steve's blues, his filled with worry as he got closer and Sam stood up, pulling Clint with him and walked away.

Before a single blink of an eye, she was pulled in his embrace and he was kissing her hair, forehead cheeks and finally he pecked her lips.

"I was so scared" he murmured into her hair, resting her head on his chest "I'll never leave you like that" he was soothing her back

"Tony told me he wanted to hurt you" he growled "I wanted to kill him" his voice dropped down.

Natasha took in his scent, feeling safe "I'm fine" she whispered and snuggled as close to him as she could.

"We're taking off" Clint announced.

"You sure you're okay?" Steve questioned and Natasha hummed in response.

Steve could feel her calming and relaxing. She was falling sleep and he wasn't going to disturb her, so he only pulled her closer, letting her fall to a peaceful sleep.

He let her sleep their entire flight back home, only waking her up when they were about to land which got a strand of curses from the redhead and a round of chuckles from the rest.

"Where are Wanda and Peter?" She asked, finally realizing the missing team members as they landed "And James!"

Steve smiled at her "I didn't want to risk them getting caught, so they stayed behind with a couple of the backup agents" he explained and helped her stand up.

"They're here. Getting checked right now" Tony shouted as he walked out, hurrying to the med bey himself.

Natasha was pulled up mere seconds later, letting out a gasp "I can walk, Steve."

"Yeah, I'd rather wait and see what the docs say"

She didn't argue any further, instead relaxed in his arms as he carried her to the med bey.

Once there, Steve was told which room to take her to and gently lay her on a bed.

"I got Cho here" they heard Clint as he walked in the room followed by Cho.

"Agent Romanoff. Captain Rogers" She nodded in greeting.

"Seems we meet a lot lately" Natasha mused with a smile as she nodded in return.

Steve greeted her with a polite hello and Cho started examining Natasha right away.

"So, how is she?" Clint asked, making the other three raise their brows.

"She's fine Agent Barton. The checkup is just formal."

Cho retorted before turning her focus on Natasha "For what I can see, your cuts aren't infected. They didn't inject you with anything, did they?"

Natasha hummed in consideration "Not as long as I was awake. But they did talk about some blood test and results"

"They tested your blood?" Steve asked with a crease in his brows.

"Yeah." She shrugged.

"I'll have a nurse take a test from you. Just stay here for the results then you can leave."

"I can leave? That's it?" Natasha asked a little too excited for Clint and Steve.

"I don't get banned from missions like every time??"

Cho chuckled and shook her head "No. Actually I had orders to keep you in as much as possible!"

Natasha's eyes opened widely and she turned to face Steve "You knew about this???"

Steve and Clint were both laughing at her sudden outburst. "No, I didn't know"

Cho left them to call for a nurse who took Natasha's blood and Clint told them he wanted to check up on Laura and the kids, leaving them to make a phone call.

Steve and Natasha were left in a peaceful state, not talking but Steve showering her with affection and hands intertwined the whole time.

Natasha was now sitting on the bed with Steve right on her side, his arm around her shoulders and her head buried in the crook of his neck as he pulled her on his laps.

A sudden thud caught their attention as Cho forcefully pushed the door open and walked in with a shocked expression, making the couple uneasy.

"What's wrong?" Natasha asked immediately.

"Is there anything wrong?"

Steve asked with a hint of hopefulness in his voice.

Cho stood in front of them for a few seconds, staring at Natasha and not knowing what to say. She opened her mouth only to close it without uttering a single word.

"Doc, what's going on?" Steve questioned, now worried.

"You're pregnant!"
