An Embarrassing Interlude, and Trying For Solutions

MyNameIsNowSpinel:

"W-what makes you think I'd be nude to try and flirt with you...?? C'mon guys, we needed to sacrifice something for the Soul Stone, I'm naked, do the math! I would've just jumped into the pit myself but Clint stopped me... a-and I know I should be thanking him for saving my life but it's hard to really think about that right now," Natasha would mutter, realizing there might be some silliness in getting mad over someone saving her from **** when the alternative was simply some embarrassment. "A-and um, as for getting me dressed... the most I can expect to get is a towel, because the Soul Stone logic seems to dictate that I, uh... can't wear clothes..."

It was bad enough that she was naked in front of people with enough connections to spread her humiliating state to a cosmic level, but to have to admit that she wouldn't be able to get re-dressed made her feel like crawling into a pit.

Clint nodded, putting a weak hand on his friend's bare shoulder. "That's about the whole of it."

Tony looked almost offended for a moment. "Humor. It's a coping mechanism, you should try it sometime does wonders for the-" He looked around the room- "anyone, someone? Anyhow, come on Nat, go get dressed, we have a universe to save."

Steve shrugged. "We have to admit there are things here we don't understand. I didn't know what an Infinity Stone was, but now they might be what saves everything. And I trust Natasha." He seemed oddly tolerant of the whole situation, despite still averting his gaze politely.

Bruce just sighed. "This is one whacked out plan, I'll tell you that much-"

Nebula was the one to step forward. "No....as....unusual a bargain as this is, that is the way the stone operates. It's how every legend was told. My father....Thanos researched them, planned to a meticulous degree. But even he showed mournfulness. He didn't expect the loss of my sister. A bargain had to be made."

Rocket suddenly erupted in a fountain of inappropriate laughter. "Oh, this is rich! The naked super spy! As far as cosmic punch lines go, that one's not bad!"

MyNameIsNowSpinel:

It felt weird to her when they started to speak as if the nudity was only a secondary issue, but when Rocket made a comment like that, she felt even more embarrassed and appreciative of the short time period when it felt like they had moved on from her being naked. Sighing, she'd walk out of the room to find something to cover herself, if only to prove that REd Skull was right and she really couldn't get dressed again. This was definitely not going to evoke the most sympathetic reactions...

abagel:

She could feel everyone staring at her naked form from behind as she left, leaving them speechless. The Black Widow's bare bottom bounced as she walked barefoot and nude out of the hangar. When was clear, she heard a weak voice. Someone had followed. "Nat...I'm sorry. They're...you know."

MyNameIsNowSpinel:

"Y-yeah, I know, they were looking at my ass. And sure, who wouldn't look at a naked woman when she pops out of nowhere in front of them? But I heard a lot of jeers and not a lot of thanks, honestly," Nat would remark, clearly salty over people focusing more on what she thought were superficial details, as she finished around for something to cover her nude body with. "Maybe a bathrobe won't count as clothes..."

abagel:

As Natasha scurried around the room busying herself with the search and hoping she could put this (somewhat) behind her, she felt a big, surprisingly soft hand land on her bare shoulder. It covered the entire thing. And from her periphery, she saw it was green. "I don't care about it. I think we should address the elephant in the room, Nat. Now more than ever."

MyNameIsNowSpinel:

Her entire face was red, reminiscent of the sadly lost Vision, and she'd sputter out as she couldn't bring herself to turn around fully, "I-I'm not sure w-what elephant you're meaning, besides the o-obvious one..."

It made her feel so hot and bothered that the Hulk had followed her, since that meant he would've gotten a glance at her privates when she had been thinking nobody was able to see.

abagel:

Bruce nodded as he turned her around. His eyes stayed above her chest, only dipping down to her neck or shoulders occasionally. "Yes, the obvious one. We'll deal with that in time. You and I have history though, and I want you to know that I still care for you. I won't let anyone bully you away from this, Nat. You're still an Avenger." He looked around. "We can try to find you something, but if this....deal is as binding as you said..." The big green man looked sad.

MyNameIsNowSpinel:

She would let out a soft squeal from being turned around all of a sudden, feeling all the more flustered from needing to look at him directly. However, his words certainly were inspiring her a bit...

"Thanks, Bruce, you're amazing. I-I feel so lucky to know you..."

abagel:

Bruce smiled, and even through the green skin and tall stature it still came through. It was all him, all that had been inside of him. "Likewise. Come on. Let's give it a shot." Bruce stepped around the rooms, handing her various things. Towels, tablecloths, curtains even.
