Tough Luck | Natasha Romanoff

6. Knowing Each Other

Nat: You look angry, came from your sister's room?

You: I don't want to hear about it.

Nat: That is what a drive is for.

You hopped into Nat's car.

Despite not wanting to hear from Nat, you keep thinking about what Wanda said to you.

Nat: How is it like staying here?

You: Not too bad, there are lots of people around.

Nat: I told you you'll get used to it.

You just nod and remain silent.

Nat: I have an idea, why don't we head to the arcade.

You: Arcade? Sure.

---

Nat drives you to the arcade and brings you to the punching station.

You look at her.

You: ... I am speechless. Why did you bring me here?

Nat: You look frustrated. I just thought you can let your feelings out without hurting anyone.

You: You can't say that for sure, I may still hurt someone. Besides, we could have done this in the compound.

Nat: Unlikely,  just give it a go.

You gave her a look but still tried it anyway.

Nat: How was it?

You: I feel the same...

Nat: Do it a few more times then.

You did a few more, about 5.

You: Ok, that's enough. I'm tired and I don't want to be wasting money here.

Nat: Just admit you are tired.

You: You give it a try then.

Nat took over and punched the bag.

You looked over at the score.

You: Close.

Nat: You know these things are never accurate. Let's go.

---

Both of you are in the car heading back to the compound.

Nat: Well, are you feeling better?

You: Yeah.. I guess so.

Nat: What do you usually do with your sister before you get sent to Hydra?

You: Just the normal stuff. I was young so I can't remember much but I remember watching a lot of shows.

Nat: You enjoyed it then?

You: ...

Nat: Hey.

She looked over to the passenger seat and saw you sleeping already.

Nat: I didn't know you were this tired.

She took off her jacket and placed it on you.

---

When you woke up, you were still in Nat's car.

Nat: You're awake?

You: Oh no. How long was I asleep?

Nat: Not for long.

You: You're kidding. I remember it was still light out and now it's already dark.

Nat: Ok, maybe for 2 hours.

You: Let's go in. Maybe next time you can wake me up. It's nicer to sleep on a bed than in a car. Thanks for the jacket, I'm keeping it.

---

You were about to settle in when Wanda walked in and sat next to you.

Wanda: So how was it?

You: We just went to punch bags.

Wanda: I heard you slept in her car. That's her jacket?

You: She can't keep her mouth shut. Is that a problem?

Wanda: No... but you never sleep in anyone's car.

You: Yeah, because I was tired. I was training and she brought me to punch bags.

You tried to defend yourself.

Wanda: Anyway, you want to train together tomorrow?

You: Are you alright already? Besides, I will never win you. It's no fun.

Wanda: Come on.. I'll be fine.

You: See you at 8am.

She winks at you before going back to her room.

Natasha interacting with you. Seems unusual from her normal activities...
