Natasha, if....
.... you come to visit

⊱⊰

Hard to believe, yet, since Thanos snapped, some five years had passed. Five years in which life on Earth had changed enormously. Just about everyone, with very few exceptions, had lost friends or family members.

Never in your life, not in your wildest dreams, could you have imagined that in New York, in Times Square, peace could reign. But, that was exactly the case now. There was still a lot going on, people still had to go to work, because life went on, however, it was quite little, for the city that never slept.

Every now and then, you stopped by the Avengers' headquarters, and on each visit, Natasha was there. When you asked her, after a year had passed, if she wouldn't like to take some time off, at least once, her answer was always the same. Everything is fine and she would not need a day off.

Also today, it would not be different. Instead of asking, which you stopped doing pretty quickly, you instead handed Natasha a brown paper bag with some food in it from Shawarma Palace.

"Your friend is fine.", Natasha reassured you as she took the bag.

"Yeah yeah.", you merely reply because everyone knew why the redhead didn't want to leave.
