Chapter 10

One day later.

Three days until the next mission.

Sam had asked Natalie to come back up into the common area. She wasn't sure why, she had eaten breakfast in her room, and it was nowhere near lunch. But she had come up anyway, gripping onto Sam's hand for balance. He had dropped her off on the couch, and told her why she was up here. If it was ok Wanda would come up, and help buy her new clothes. She only had Sam's sweater and Wanda's pants currently, unless the hospital gown counted, but she'd rather die then put one of those back on again. Sam had sat down next to her, and they had waited for Wanda. Then they finally heard the elevator ding.

Sam turned around, still holding Natalie's hand. She hadn't let go of him after they had made it up here, and he wasn't going to make her. "Hi Wanda!"

She gave him a wave, and started walking over, laptop in hand.

"Hi Natalie, did Sam tell you what we're doing?"

She nodded, pressing into Sam.

"Can I sit down here?" She asked.

Natalie gave a small nod and Wanda sat down, Sam was to her left and Wanda was at her right. She squeezed Sam's hand a little tighter, and he squeezed back reassuringly.

Wanda opened up her rose gold laptop, excited. "I've got a website picked out already, and a list of stuff to buy."

Natalie inched away from Wanda a bit, pressing into Sam more.

"Are you ready? This is gonna take awhile." Wanda said, grinning. She liked shopping, and getting to buy a whole wardrobe was going to be fun.

"I think we're ready Wanda." Sam said, wrapping an arm around a nervous Natalie. "What's on this list of yours?"

"Ok, before I read it off the plan is to buy all this, and return whatever she doesn't use." Wanda said, tapping a few buttons. Then the list popped up:

8 short sleeved shirts.

2 pairs of long pants.

6 pairs of shorts.

2 sweaters.

1 dress.

6 pairs of socks.

"This stuff is just the basics, I don't know what you like Natalie. We can buy whatever you want. There's a pool downstairs if you want a swimsuit." Wanda said, looking down at her. "I didn't include things like activewear, hats, jewelry, and shoes. All this is gonna be relatively plain, so we can pick out graphic tees, and more colorful clothes after this, if everything goes to plan you should be able to wear this stuff out of the tower pretty soon!"

"W-wait, really?"

"Yeah kid, we've almost dealt with all the major bases."

Natalie lit up.

"You excited?" Wanda asked, grinning.

"Yeah, m-my friends are probably worried."

"Friends?" Sam said, curious.

"Yeah, two of them, Heather and Taylor."

"We'll get you back to them as soon as we can kid, ok?"

She nodded, and buried her face further in his shirt.

"Anyway Wanda, let's get this over with."

This is going to take forever. He thought with a sigh.
