Natasha is left wondering where her place is …..

Natasha leaned against the wall with her head against it. She couldn't believe her eyes. She simply couldn't believe her eyes. Which was weird … because really – it made perfectly sense after all. All the sense in the world. Why the hell wouldn't Pepper Potts be coming out of Tony Stark's bedroom at 7 in the morning. Hell he was her boyfriend after all. They were engaged after all. Right?! That was still on and all right?

Then why the hell did it bother her so much that Pepper fucked Tony?!

"I don't believe they fucked last night." A low voice said from above her.

"Go away Barton." Natasha seethed fire in her green eyes. "Just go the fuck away."

"No can do." Clint's voice took on a slight teasing tone. "I'm not leaving you like this; Natalia."

"Don't ever use that name." The Black Widow seethed so low that not even one of Tony Stark's listening devices couldn't pick up. "Especially not here. Not where she is." She felt the blood drain from her face; and her breath hitch in her tight heart.

Clint dropped down from the ventilator; and leaned against the wall next to Natasha. "Hey, she won't be scared off …."

"I said enough Barton." Natasha moved away from the wall. "Just leave it alone." She turned and stormed away in a defeated manner.

Clint watched as his best friend turned the corner out of sight. Why do you insist on not being happy; Natalia; is it really all due to your so called "red" ledger? Don't you understand yet? That no one …. none of your true friend – even give a crap about your bloodily past. We; your family; understand that while you were the top Russian Spy; that you didn't do it under your own free will. We know that you were kidnapped when you just a baby; just barely out of baby hood and into toddle hood; that you were beaten, broken, and mentally abused; until the point that you broke.

Natasha just stormed towards the elevator that would led to the floor for the 'special' workout gym; that Tony had created just for her. No one else was allowed in the room unless she invited them in. She only gave one person the over ride code. Once she entered she just focused on the moves that she needed to get the massive of tension from her system. If she didn't even get an once out of her body then; she would kill everyone in the Avengers Towers. She would gladly return to what she had originally been created to be.

She soon was so lost in her movements; sweat rolling freely down her face, to her neck, to her back; and front. She could feel it slide in between her breasts. She smiled grimly as she saw her bangs moved to the right of her forehead. She was happy to had remembered to tie her hair in a tight pony tail before entering the room.

Why the hell am I so upset? I mean shit; Pepper is a grown woman; she is able to make her own decisions. She has decided to give her heart, and soul to Anthony Stark. He can protect her. He has protected her. She's his entire world. Then why do I feel that if I don't work off this raw anger; that I would kill my friends; including Pepper?! Biting her lip she flipped her legs over her head; and landed six feet from where she had stood. Her chest heaved as her arms rose into a boxer stanch; and she used all her arm strength shooting her arms forward; one … two …. one …. two …. one … two … punch!

Natasha squatted down on her toes; with her thighs as far as they would go. Her breasts heaved with every ragged breath that broke through her chest. Her green eyes stared down on the shiny floor as she fought for her breath. She finally felt like she had control of her raging emotions. At least she knew she wouldn't strangle Pepper when she first sees her. She chocked on some laughter bubbles that burst through her chest. She shook her head; and slowly stood to her feet. She began her cooling down stretches before knowing that she had to prepare for the rest of the day. Never know that there may be a call for the Avengers to ring out – or she may actually have an undercover assignment at some point. It was always best to prepared for anything – and she didn't want to be all sweaty; and looking like she just came from an extreme workout – before she busted the bad guys. She wanted to underwhelm them after all – she had her image to uphold.

She turned and left the room; never noticing the strawberry haired woman watching from ten feet from the door. She just walked down the hallway towards the elevator that would take her to her own personal floor.

END OF THE WORK-OUT #1 ONE SHOT

Author's Note: I had started this one shot several months ago. I had been meaning to type it quickly up; and post it – and move on to more one shots for this story. But; my work life got crazy. I had literally no free time – the free time that I did end up with; I was just sheer exhausted due to work. So unfortunately I couldn't gather the energy to write.

But; as of the 10th of August; I was fired from my job. (So not going to go into it.) So while I am searching for another job; I'm going to have a lot of free time; so that means I get to write once more. So expect updates to this story; and ALL my stories to be frequent.
