[in this chapter Russian is used, but i got it from google translate so if it's wrong i'm sorry]

Soon Yelena left the room and left me and Natasha alone, we both layed down on the bed next to each other, i rested my arms on my stomach and turned to look at Natasha, she did the same "So, how old are you Cory?" she asked still looking at me, i turned my head to look at the ceiling 

"I'm 26" i answered truthfully closing my eyes

"i thought you where like 17" Nat replied laughing, i opened my eyes and looked at her "sorry, you're just small" She says smiling 

"i'm 5'4, it's not that small" i say looking back up to the ceiling

"well i'm 5'7 so it is small to me" she says sitting up "i'll leave to rest while i make some food" Nat left the room and i got comfortable on the bed, i started drifting off to sleep 

[...]

"Natasha!" i heard a male voice shout, i opened my eyes slowly and quickly shut them again as he started shouting again "There's a stranger in your bed!" his voice boomed, i groaned as i heard foot steps run up the stairs 

"leave her to rest Alexie, she's going to be staying here from now on" Nat whispered

"oh, okay" He said before walking out, his voice just naturally loud, i slowly opened my eyes again and sat up looking at Nat, she laughed at

"you look like a child, you can sleep some more if you'd like" She stated leaning against the door frame, i shook my head and sighed 

"я слишком голоден (i'm too hungry)" i blurted out, Nat looked at me raising an eyebrow 

"ты знаешь русский? (you know Russian?)" She asked making me laugh at her 

"разве не все в красной комнате? (doesn't everyone in the red room?)" I ask rhetorically

"полагаю, что так (i guess so)" She answers nodding her head, i smile and get up off the bed and walk over to her, i stand about two feet away from her "what?" she asks confused 

"i'm hungry" i blurt out staring at her, she laughs and starts walking down the stairs i follow her and look in the hall way too see my bag missing "where's my bag?" i ask only to be ignored, i frown and follow Nat into the kitchen, i see Yelena eating something and a man and woman who i haven't seen before 

"Melina, Alexie, this is Cory" Nat says taking a seat at the table leaving me stood awkwardly as everyone stares at me, Yelena walks over and puts an arm around my shoulders 

"She's from the Red room" Yelena explains before stuffing her face more, Alexie and Melina look at Nat 

"я думал, мы уничтожили это (I thought we destroyed it)" Melina whispers 

"ну ты провалился, жалко, Дрейков сбежал, ты его не убил (well you failed, miserably, Dreykov got away, you didn't kill him)" I answer making everyone look at me "какие? (what?)" I ask, they look away and Natasha clears her throat

"You two come sit down and eat" She says looking directly at Yelena and I, Yelena removes her arm from me and sits down on one side of Natasha and i take the other side 

[...]

Melina takes out a book from the shelf and shows me a book filled with pictures of Nat and Yelena when they where younger "You can turn your hair different colours!?" i shout when seeing a Picture of Nat with blue hair, Melina laughed and nodded "Woah that's so cool!" i shout 

"What's cool?" Natasha asks making me turn my attention to her

"You can change your hair colour!" I exclaim excitedly Natasha laughs at

"you never knew?" she asks walking over to me, i shake my head "you can try it if you like" she says looking at me, i nod my head frantically "alright we'll get some dye" she states before walking out of the room 

[...]

Me and Nat lay in the bed facing opposite walls, i sit up and look over to see her sleeping, i sigh quietly and sneak out of the bed, i walk down the stairs and into the kitchen, i open one of the cabinets and find a bottle of vodka, i nod my head and sit down at the table as i open it taking a drink

"Hey" i look over to see Nat sitting opposite me, i jump slightly 

"When did you get there?" I ask taking another drink

"Just after you" she explains "why are you down here?" she asks

"Can't sleep" i say simply as i rest my head in one of my hands 

"Why?" she asks mimicking my actions 

"I think you know" i whisper making eye contact with her, she nods and stands up and motions for me to follow her, she starts walking back upstairs, i sigh and reluctantly follow her, Nat lays down on the bed and pats the space next to her, i walk over and lay next to her leaving a gap between us 

"Come closer you idiot" she whispers, i roll my eyes and move a little bit closer to her, Natasha rolls her eyes and pulls me closer to her so the gap between us is closed, she moves my head onto her chest 

"What are you doing?" i whisper confused, she shushes me "Natasha what are you dong?" i ask slightly louder this time 

"Be quiet Cory, just listen to my heart beat" she whispers as she puts her arms around me

"How is this supposed to help?" I ask sitting up

"Just do it" she says pulling me back down, i mumble an 'okay' and sigh as i close my eyes 

[...]

i open my eyes to see sunlight shining through the window, i sit up and realise i'm in the bed alone, i shrug and yawn as i stretch my arms out, Natasha walks into the room with a towel wrapped around her body "You got a full nights sleep, it's about 11 am" she says as she walks into the room, i nod and stand up, i walk out of the room to give Nat some privacy, closing the door behind me
