"Whose one person you couldn't live without?"
Natasha smiled as Maria asked her a question she wasn't expecting. She glanced away from the long stretch of road ahead to peer at her friend with her eyebrows raised. "Whose a person you couldn't live without?" She countered.
They were just a few minutes away from Sam Wilson's house on the outskirts of Washington D.C. where they were meeting their boyfriends for lunch. Never in a million years did Natasha think that she would be calling Steve her man, that for once the cruel world had given her something - someone - to hold onto as her own. The few miles between her and Steve felt far too long, even though she'd seen him yesterday. She was really turning into one of those girlfriends she had always judged, yet she couldn't find the will to care. She was dating Steve Rogers, after all; the man of every girl's dreams. Only now, she could wake up from her sexy dream involving a certain man with a shield and turn over in his arms to live out that very sexy dream in person.
"Sam is pretty cool... you are too," Maria smirked. "Now answer my question."
She rolled her eyes. It was a simple yet dangerous question, but one she already knew the answer to. "What do you want me to say?" She mumbled, knowing Maria would understand what she meant. She couldn't live without Steve. Howeverin under four months, she would return to Moscow, and she would have to find a way to say goodbye to the man she loved... she also had to muster the courage to actually tell him she loved him but that was another issue in its own entirety.
Maria laughed, shaking her head to herself. "Your relationship doesn't have to end. Steve is Captain America, after all. I'm sure he'd fly to Moscow every weekend just to see you."
"That's not fair to him." She mumbled. She tried not to think about saying goodbye to him and her friends in America because she wanted to have a nice afternoon, so she pressed down on the gas pedal in a hurry to get to Sam's house, trying to think of anything but saying goodbye to Steve.
"Oh my god... Nata-..." Maria began to scream.
They were suddenly hit head-on by a driver who abruptly veered left of center.
Their car rolled and rolled, and both women were knocked unconscious by the force of the crash. Eventually, the car came to a stop in an upright position, and Natasha miraculously regained consciousness from the adrenaline coursing through her veins. However, she knew that she wouldn't be able to stay awake for long. The pain was staggering; she could hardly breathe with blood dripping from her nose and her mouth. She couldn't feel her legs, and she couldn't even turn her head to look at Maria to check on her friend. Her tears mixed with the blood on her face, glass painfully pricked her skin, and her left leg was trapped between the car door and the steering wheel. Even through the thick fog in her mind, she knew that she needed to get them help before she fell unconscious again.
