Chapter Text
After years and months of trials and tribulations, Steve and Natasha were finally getting married!
Steve was a litte jittery as he was getting ready, but he was excited that this day had finally arrived. Considering everything that Natasha had been through and most recently, being taken captive back in Russia, neither of them wanted a big wedding. Coulson also agreed with him that a simple wedding ceremony was a good idea, so he arranged for a judge to come to SHIELD headquarters to perform the ceremony.
Across the hall from Steve's room, Natasha with assistance from Maria Hill, was getting ready herself. Maria first began with putting makeup on Natasha's face. Natasha had never worn makeup in her life, so she was glad that Maria was helping her. For the next couple of minutes, Maria applied a cream-colored foundation on Natasha's face, doing her best to cover the few bruises that she had from her latest time in captivity in which she found herself back with Ivan Petrovich in Russia. After one long moth of torture, Steve, with the help of Clint Barton, had found her. Ivan was killed and Steve and Natasha returned to SHIELD after taking about a month's break to rest and recover. During their break, Steve secretly worked with Agent Coulson to plan a small wedding ceremony. Early one day, and after things were set, Steve and Natasha returned to SHILED. Coulson and the team welcomed them back with lunch.
Once the foundation was on and the bruises were mostly covered, Maria then began to put a light-pink blush on Natasha's cheeks. She also used a cream-colored eye shadow and brown eyeliner for her eyes. The final touch was a light-pink lipstick and gloss on her lips.
"You look beautiful already," Maria said as she closed her makeup bag.
"I can't even recognize myself," Natasha said as she smiled at the reflection in the mirror.
Once the makeup was finished, Maria helped Natasha into an ivory-colored dress that she had let Natasha borrow for the ceremony. Not only was the perfect dress for today, but it covered most of her bruises on her back. A few of them on her arms would show because the dress had three-quarter length sleeves, but that didn't matter. Maria also let her borrow a pair of matching high-heels. Once the dress the on, Maria placed the necklace from Steve around Natasha's neck. She then began to style her hair, curling it and pinning it back halfway.
"Now you look amazing," Maria said, putting in the last pin and taking a step back.
"Thank you so much for all of your help."
"You are very welcome." Maria then left the room to get ready herself, Meanwhile, Natasha's other partner, Clint Barton, walked in. His heart stopped when he saw Natasha.
"You look amazing," he said as he carefully embraced her.
"Thanks, Clint, You look very handsome yourself. How's Steve?"
"Looking very handsome as well. He can't wait to see you." Natasha smiled at Clint's response. "See you in a few minutes, Nat," he said leaving the room.
About fifteen minutes later, Maria returned wearing a short-sleeved back dress that she had in her possession from her days at Stark Industries before SHILED had been rebuilt. She also wore black heels and had her hair styled just like Natasha's was.
"You look great, Maria," Natasha said as she picked of the bouquet of flowers off the dresser.
"Thank you," Maria responded as she picked up her bouquet. The two then walked to the door in which they would go through to walk down the aisle.
