2 "Are those my clothes!?"

I walked into the house behind Natasha, i put my bag down by the door and looked around as Natasha walked further into the house, i felt someone grab my hand and suddenly i was on the floor, i let out a loud groan and opened my eyes to see the blonde from before, she looked at me raising an eyebrow with a gun pointed at me

"N-natasha!" i shouted as i scrambled backwards into a wall, the blonde slowly edged forward to me still pointing the gun at me, i clutched my chest as another flash back came, i screamed as tears started flowing out of my eyes 

NATASHA

I walked into the kitchen looking for Yelena, i couldn't see her, i turned around to talk to Cory, she wasn't there, i heard a few bangs and crashes coming from the hallway, i stood to listen to try and figure out who it was. My name was called and i started making my way over to the noises when i heard Cory scream, i ran over to where it was coming from. I saw Cory backed up against the wall having a panic attack with Yelena stood there with a gun looking confused, i ran over and crouched down to see Cory.

[...]

Once Cory had calmed down i explained what happened to Yelena, she looked at me confused 

"You're just going to let a thief stay here?" she asked bluntly staring directly at Cory who hung her head low in shame 

"yes, she needs a place to stay, so learn to get along" i said before walking away, i looked behind me to see the pair of them just staring at one another awkwardly "Cory, come on i'll show you to our room" i said making her head turn, she ran and caught up to me as i walked up the stairs 

CORY

I followed Natasha into the room and took my hoodie off, i watched as Natasha sat on the bed 

"Hey Natasha are we sharing?" i asked looking at her he turned her head and looked at me for a few seconds before a small smile appeared on her face 

"Just call me Nat, and yeah we are, sorry there's only one bed" she replied, i nodded and walked over to the other side of the bed and sat down, we sat in silence for a few minuets before Nat stood up

"There's some of Yelenas old clothes in the set of drawers" she said before walking out, i assumed she wanted me to change my clothes. I got up and looked through the drawers until i found a pair of sweatpants and a baggy white shirt, i then layed down on the bed staring at the ceiling

Dreykovs voice rang through my head, over and over again, my body froze as i heard him calling my name non stop 

"Cory! hey Nat wants .... you" i heard Yelena speak before she walked over to bed and looked down at me " hello? Cory!?" i jolted up panting "woah, woah what happened?" she asked sitting next to my shaking body 

"Please don't make me go back" i pleaded as tears rolled down my face, Yelena looked at me confused 

"What?" she asked turning to face me more 

"Don't make me go back there, back to him" i choked out through sobs, Yelena took a hold of my arms and looked at me worried 

"Where Cory, back to who?" She asked her voice steady and calm, i stayed quiet for a while as a few more sobs came out 

"Dreykov" i said as she pulled me closer 

"the red room" Yelena whispered, i looked back and saw Nat standing in the doorway, i pulled away from Yelena and looked at the floor, i felt the bed sink beside me and arm found it's way around my waist

"God you probably think i'm crazy" i whispered still looking at the floor

"no, we both escaped the red room too" Natasha explained as she pulled me closer to her, i looked up and met her eyes "I thought- ... i thought i had destroyed the red room years ago" she whispered looking away 

"He wont get to you, we'll protect you if he even tries to get his hands on you" Yelena says making me look at her and smile, she smiles back but it soon drops as she shouts "Are those my clothes!?" i laughed and looked at the floor as Natasha shook her head
