Nadia's Confession

It was a week after your battle with Quentin when life began to calm down somewhat. Nadia was allowed back into her home and Quentin was taken to the RAFT. You and Venom were now back on talking terms though you could tell that he was still hurting over everything. You spent less time in your room and actually went on a date with Viv. It wasn't anything too grand. You ended up walking past the film room more often. You often found Quentin's locker vandalized.

You ended up meditating with Danny more often or reading with Kitty. Widow allowed you a week long break after two major fights back to back but you refused. You were determined to be prepared for the next attack. M.O.D.O.K, Taskmaster, and even Carnage were still out there. You had to be ready.

You were in your room when you heard a tap at your window. You opened it and looked around before you heard something behind you.

Y/N: You really like sneaking into my room.

Nadia: Sorry.

You turned around and found Nadia standing there in her Wasp gear.

Y/N: Were you on patrol?

Nadia shook her head.

Nadia: I like to fly around sometimes. It clears my head.

Despite the friendly interaction, there was something sad in both of your voices. This was the first time you spoke to each other since you defeated Quentin. Nadia looked sround your room.

Nadia: Where's your bed?

You pointed to your closet. She saw the pile of blankets and pillows.

Nadia: You sleep in your closet?

Y/N: It's comfortable.

The two of you stood there for a bit in awkward silence. Venom appeared on your shoulder.

Venom: Did you need sssomething?

Nadia suddenly snapped out of her thoughts.

Nadia: Y-Yeah. Actually I was wondering if, you were free right now?

You nodded. Training was done for the day and Viv and Felicia were with the other girls on some "girls night out" situation. You didn't ask.

Nadia: Then would you like to come get ice cream with me? It's kinda my go to comfort food.

You smiled.

Y/N: Of course.

You ended up at a ice cream shop not too far from Nadia's place. She had changed into normal clothes and the two of you almost looked like normal teenagers. The only thing that stood out was the bags under her eyes and distant stare you had. You ate your ice cream in silence while everyone around you happily chatted.

Nadia: This was his favorite place.

You looked up and saw that she was staring at her cup.

Nadia: He used to always bring me here after the science fair or a bad day.

You didn't need to ask.

Nadia: I had a lot of those. Bad days. Mom says I get them from dad.

You nodded to show that you were listening.

Nadia: They happened randomly. I would get really happy and then, I always ended up in a dark place. I tried to focus on my "work" to try and get away from it. It worked for a while. Once everything became stressful, things got worse.

You abandoned your ice cream while Nadia took a deep breath.

Nadia: Quentin would always try to help. He was good at it to. He would take over things for the club if he saw that I was too stressed or frustrated. For some reason, that only made me feel worse.
