Location: Brooklyn, nightfall. Naruto opens up to Natasha for the first time.

The rain had stopped.

Brooklyn was bathed in an eerie silence, broken only by the distant hum of a late-night subway.

In the apartment, the lights were dim. A single lamp cast a warm glow across the crumpled bedsheets.

Naruto sat on the floor, back against the wall, knees pulled to his chest.

In front of him, Natasha sat cross-legged on the mattress, eyes fixed on him in silence.

She had just said:

— "Tell me. Everything."

And he had nodded.

He drew in a deep breath.

— "I was born in another world."

— "You mean… a parallel universe?"

— "No. A whole different world. With its own rules, its own history, its own wars."

He looked up at her.

— "And me in the middle of it… from the very beginning. Since I was just a baby — hated and rejected by all."

Then, he spoke.

He told her about the orphan child, born on a night of destruction. About the beast sealed inside him: Kyūbi, the nine-tailed demon fox. The way people looked at him. The isolation. The hatred.

— "I grew up alone. I was… either invisible or despised. Sometimes both."

— "And you survived that?"

— "I survived because I had a dream — to become Hokage. The leader of my village. So no one would ever ignore me again."

He told her about the Academy.

The bullying.

The neglect.

The first person who had reached out to him: Iruka-sensei.

Then the others: Sakura, Sasuke, Kakashi.

— "Sasuke was my rival. My brother. We loved and hated each other until the end."

She nodded quietly.

He kept going.

The battles.

The missions.

The war.

The deaths.

The sacrifices.

The truth about his parents. Hinata's quiet pain. Madara's madness. Kakashi's shattered heart.

— "And you?" she asked gently. "Did you ever love?"

A silence.

Naruto looked at his hands.

— "I did. Hinata."

He closed his eyes.

— "I lost her. Her and our son, Boruto. They weren't killed… They were erased. Erased from time by a being from beyond."

A deep breath. Almost a scream held back.

— "I merged with all the tailed beasts. Used Kurama's last breath. And I destroyed the one who had erased my world."

A heavy silence.

Then:

— "And I vanished with it."

She didn't cry.

But she moved closer.

And laid her hand gently against his cheek.

— "You lost everything."

He nodded.

— "And now?"

— "Now, I've found something again."

— "Me?"

He looked at her.

— "You. And maybe… a reason to stay."

She slowly wrapped her arms around him.

And for the first time since that war… he felt like he was no longer alone.

The lamp had been left on.

Not too bright. Just enough for their shadows to dance across the walls. Just enough for their bodies to no longer need words.

Natasha stood before him. Silent. Moving. Confident, but fragile.

Her black tank top stretched against her shoulders as she slowly raised her arms. The fabric slid off, fell. She stood there, bare-chested, her breath calm… but her heart pounding too hard.

Naruto didn't move at first.

He looked at her with a mix of awe, sorrow… and sacred fear.

As if this moment was something he had never believed he deserved.

She stepped toward him.

Then another.

Their bodies brushed.

Skin to skin. Warmth against trembling.

He finally placed his hands on her hips. His fingers were rough, calloused. But his touch… unbearably gentle.

She shivered.

Not from cold — from release.

— "Don't hold anything back," she whispered. "Not with me."

He looked up. His blue eyes heavy with emotion.

— "I don't know how to make love, Natasha. I've never had time. I've always… just survived."

She knelt before him. Slowly. Tenderly.

— "Then let me show you."

Her fingers slipped to his belt.

A rustle. A click. And the fabric dropped to his ankles.

He didn't try to cover himself.

And she didn't look away.

The desire wasn't animal.

It was recognition.

— "You're beautiful," she whispered, voice thick.

He didn't reply. But his hands found her again.

She rose, pressing her belly to his. Their bare skin responded like two strings of the same instrument.

Then she leaned to his ear.

— "Lie down."

He obeyed.

On the bed, he stretched out, arms open.

She climbed onto him, slowly, every motion deliberate. Her thigh slid against his. Her breasts brushed his chest. And finally, she felt him — hard, warm, alive — against her lower belly.

Their breaths aligned.

Then she lowered herself.

Slowly.

So slowly.

And she took him inside her.

No scream. Just a deep, aching moan.

Naruto arched slightly, eyes half-closed.

— "Natasha…"

She placed a finger on his lips.

— "Don't speak. Feel me."

They began to move together.

Not with force. Not mechanically.

As if they were discovering each other. As if every motion whispered a piece of their stories.

Their hands searched, clutched, released.

She rode him with a calculated slowness, almost meditative.

And he held her hips like one holds a vow.

The pleasure rose, intense — but never harsh.

Heat. Pressure. Expansion.

Naruto's chakra, instinctively, flowed between them. A soft green glow pulsed between their chests.

She moaned — a short, broken sound, cracked by emotion.

— "I feel you inside me… even where they took from me."

He looked at her.

— "You've lost nothing. You are whole. Complete."

And in that moment, her womb trembled. Alive. Regenerated. As if their union had brought life back to what she thought was gone.

They turned, body to body. Naruto entered her again, this time as she lay beneath him.

Deeper.

More intense.

His breath on her neck, his hands at her throat. Not to dominate. To protect.

She cried out — in pleasure, in truth.

And with that final thrust, in that shared tremor, they came together.

Not an explosion.

A release.

An inner tide washing away the remnants of their pain.

They remained connected for a long time.

Still inside her.

Still alive.

And for the first time since they had met…

nothing was missing anymore.

The sun had risen without them noticing.

Their bodies, still wrapped together beneath the sheets, felt like two intertwined roots.

Naruto held Natasha in his arms, chin resting against her hair.

She was still asleep.

And for once, he felt no urgency, no pain, no duty.

Only… peace.

When she opened her eyes, it was slowly. Naturally.

She turned to him without a word and placed her palm on his cheek.

— "You made me feel alive again," she whispered.

He kissed her gently.

— "You taught me what intimacy is. Not sex. Surrender."

She smiled — tired, but at peace.

— "I have something to propose."

🛡️ SHIELD Headquarters, Two Days Later

— "You want to recruit me? Seriously?"

Naruto sat in a confidential briefing room, dressed in a black uniform with no insignia — simple, but fitted. At his side, Natasha Romanoff, composed and steady.

Across the table: Maria Hill.

— "Officially, you don't exist. You're an 'extra-universal' citizen — no record, no fingerprints, no nationality."

She crossed her arms.

— "And yet, you represent a power potentially beyond anything we've encountered so far."

Naruto stayed silent.

Then:

— "I don't want to be a weapon."

Hill raised an eyebrow.

— "And what if I told you… you could be a guardian?"

Natasha spoke.

— "I've seen him in action. He's more than a fighter. He's an anchor. A stabilizing force."

Hill watched him for a moment.

Then nodded.

— "You'll work together. Only as a two-person unit. Mission profile: identification and containment of non-terrestrial energy anomalies."

She stood.

— "Welcome to SHIELD, Uzumaki."

🏠 Apartment, That Evening

Naruto was staring at his new badge.

No name. No code. Just a black identifier.

He tucked it into a drawer.

Natasha entered the room, a towel around her shoulders.

— "So, Agent of SHIELD?"

He smiled.

— "I think I prefer being your partner."

She approached — nothing on beneath the towel.

— "You already are. In the field. In life. And if someday you want… in something more."

He frowned slightly.

— "You mean…?"

She placed her hand on her stomach.

— "My body's ready, Naruto. But I don't want you to feel pressured."

He looked at her for a long time.

Then took her hand and brought it to his lips.

— "When the time comes… it'll be our choice. Not the world's."

And outside, as Tony Stark boarded his private jet to Afghanistan,

another man — quieter, deeper — was preparing.

Naruto Uzumaki would protect this world.

But not alone.

With her.
