natasha and steve were on a mission for SHIELD. they had to act like a small family, and that included having a kid. That’s when you appear, a teenage orphan who was abused their whole life. nat and steve treated you like their kid, and you actually thought of them like your parents, but you didn’t knew it was all for the sake of their mission. they may have treated you like their kid but they didn’t thought of you that way

for the first time in your whole life, you felt loved. until the day when they finished their mission and you had to go back into the foster care system

Steve: “kid, we have to talk about something…”

steve said, trying to find a way to tell you without you freaking out as he and natasha walked into the room with a serious expression
