LILIYA'S POV:

Alexei grabs his nose. 'Okay... Why the aggression, huh?' What aggression? 'Is it your time of the month?' Oh my- 'We don't get our period dipshit, Yelena answers. 'We all don't have an uterus,' I say. 'Or ovaries,' Natasha says. I look at Yelena. Alexei stands next to me. He smells really bad. 

'Yeah. That's what happens when the Red Room gives you an involuntary hysterectomy. They kind of just go in and they rip out all of your reproductive organs. They just get right in there and they chop them all away. Everything out, so you can't have babies,' Yelena says, while making chopping moves with her hands. 

'Okay, okay, okay, okay! You don't have to get so clinical and nasty.' 'Oh, well, I was about to talk about Fallopian tubes, but okay.' 'No.' I think Yelena maybe traumatized Alexei. Good. When Alexei isn't looking, I quickly stand up, and take a seat behind Natasha.

'It means so much to me that you came back for me.' Alexei takes the seat next to me. Dammit. 'No. No. You're gonna tell us how to get to the Red Room.' I really wish that I had a camera with me, because the look on Alexei's face was so funny when Natasha said that. 

'Huh? Whoa, look at you, huh? All business.' 'Trust me, this isn't pleasure.' 'Little Natasha, all indoctrinated into the Western agenda.' 'I chose to go west to become an Avenger. 'Cause they treated me like family.'

'Really? Family?' Can this discussion just stop please? 'Well, where are they now? Where is that family now?' 'Tell me where the Red Room is,' Natasha changes the subject. There's a really loud silence. Alexei finally answers: 'I have no idea! Okay?'

I see Natasha putting her headphones down, and walk up to Alexei. I quickly take place in her seat. 'He got problems now,' I whisper to Yelena, who nods. 'I can hear you,' Alexei says, pointing at his headset. 'Заткнись, свинья.' 'Oh, we're changing to Russian now, huh?' 'Russian was something you could've taught us instead of putting us in the Red Room for over 21 years.' I say, giving him a serious look. 

'You and Dreykov were like-' Natasha tries, but Alexei cuts her off. 'Dreykov?' 'Yeah.' 'General Dreykov, my friend huh? Gives me glory, Soviet Union's first and only super soldier. I could've been more famous than Captain America. Then he buries me in Ohio on that stupid mission. Three years! So tedious, boring me to tears.'

Ouch.

Yelena and I glare at him. 'No offense, huh?' he says, while we turn him our back. Yelena shakes her head, with tears in her eyes. 'You okay, Lena?' I ask her, while holding her free hand. She nods. 'That stupid man doesn't know how it felt for me. For us.' 'I know Lena. We can't change that. He's just a stupid, old, grumpy man.'

'Then he puts me in prison for the rest of my life. Why, huh? Why? Why would he put me in... You know why? 'Cause maybe I want to talk about the withering of the state. Or maybe I don't like his hair or something and I say something casually about that. Maybe, you know, I want the Party to actually feel like a party instead of this sourpuss organization. But instead, no. He puts me in prison for the rest of my life. He just runs off and hides, huh?'

Alexei keeps kicking things that are laying on the floor. 'I'm not even the one who, uh, you know. I'm not the one who killed his daughter.' What. An. Asshole. Yelena yells something in Russian. 'Can we throw him out the window now?' Natasha nods. 'I  think we should wait  till we get to a higher altitude.' 'And till we're above the ocean, so he can't swim back to land,' I finish.

'Почему бы не спросить Мелину, где он?' Why don't you ask Melina where it is? 'Wait, мама Melina?' 'We thought she was dead!' I speak. Alexei scoffs. 'You cannot kill a fox that swift.' 'Ew.' 'What? She was the scientist, the strategist. I was the muscle. She worked directly for Dreykov far more than I ever did.' Wait a second...

I turn to Alexei. 'Are you telling me that Melina is working for the Red Room present day?' I ask him. 'She works remotely outside St. Petersburg,' Alexei answers. Yelena scoffs. 'Uh... I don't think we have enough fuel for St. Petersburg.' 'No, we're good. We'll make it,' Alexei says immediately. 'Okay.'

Guess what: we didn't. 

I groan when the helicopter lands on the ground. 'That was a hard landing.' I quickly get up, and get out of the helicopter. 'Note to self: don't listen to Alexei. Not enough fuel is not enough fuel.' Smoke is coming out of the helicopter at at least 3 places.

'You should've brought the Avengers superjet,' Alexei says. Natasha sighs, and the three of us (not including that swine) start walking. 'I swear, if I hear one more word from him, I will kick him in the face,' Yelena sighs. 'He's the worst,' Natasha says softly. I nod.

'Natasha.' I hear quick footsteps behind us. 'There's his final word, now kick him,' I whisper to Yelena. A smile appears on her face. It looks good on her. 'Natasha. Natasha. Come here, I want to ask you something.' Natasha turns around agains her will, and walks up to Alexei. 

'Maybe it was a bad idea bringing him here,' I say. 'Maybe it was. But we need every help with finding the Red Room, since we can't find it.' 'True.' Yelena turns around, waiting for Nat and Alexei. 'I always thought there was a great deal of mutual respect...,' I hear Alexei saying. Gosh he's annoying. 

Nat doesn't look happy either. 'Wait. You haven't seen either one of us in 20 years and you're gonna ask me about you?' she cuts him off. Alexei glares at Nat. 'What is with this tension? Did I do something wrong?' Yelena smacks her forehead. 'Is that a serious question?' 

'I only ever loved you girls.' Yelena gives us the wtf you talking about look. 'I did my best to make sure you would succeed to achieve your fullest potential, and everything worked out.' 'Everything worked out?' Natasha asks. 

'Yes. For you, yes. We accomplished our mission in Ohio. Yelena, you went on to become the greatest child assassin the world has ever known.' Yelena looks at him with anger, her eyes filled with fire. 'No one can match your efficiency, your ruthlessness.' Alexei then turns to me. 

'Liliya. You've never let a victim escape, you were the fastest of them all! You were one of the best Widows trained there.' Thanks for reminding me. 'And Natasha, not just a spy, not just toppling regimes, destroying empires from within, but an Avenger.' 

'You all have killed so many people.' He grabs Natasha and Yelena's hands, and start 'shaking' them. 'Your ledgers must be dripping, just gushing red.' And out of nowhere, he grabs the three of us and pull us into a hug. 'I couldn't be more proud of you.' 

Natasha pushes herself out of Alexei's arms, and starts walking away. Alexei starts kissing Yelena's head, and patting my back. 'Okay, you can... No-' I start. 'Let go of us now. You smell really bad,' Yelena says, she grabs my arm and pulls me out of Alexei's grip. I chuckle. 'Thank god, I didn't imagined that smell.'

'So, are we there yet?' Yelena asks, after 5 minutes of walking. 'You'll know when we're there,' Alexei said. He starts making weird sounds, like a pig snorting. Gosh, what's it with all the pigs today...

After walking for what feels like hours, we arrive at a little house, circled by fences. Behind the fence, there's a brown haired woman. I know it's Melina, Yelena talked a lot about mom. She looks at Natasha, Yelena and me with a confused face. Alexei looks at her with a big smile on his face.

'Honey, we're home.'
