Phoenix

Healing old wounds

"Are you insane?!" Steve snaps over breakfast, while Sam just eats his bacon, me and Nat may have just told them the plan to go back to Jefferson...

"I'm not letting you go back there you have just had an episode because of that place!" Steve starts to raise his voice and just as I am about to argue back.

"He needs closure from that chapter in his life Steve and we are going to get it, Hydra doesn't haunt him because Strucker is dead and so is Ultron. You don't hear or see his nightmares, Steve. We weren't asking your permission we were telling you what we were doing" She snaps back, and right now I and Sam are just watching the rather sexy Russian get angry.

"We are wanted Criminals Natasha, we can't just catch a plane to God knows where. How do you know this will make it better? What if it makes it worse?" He snaps again and at this point, I'm getting bored of the argument.

"Enough. We have a jet we can take, I know how to get there I planned an escape from the age of 8. I need to go and the only way this gets worse is if I end up in the same place back when I was young and needed Hydra to save me. I am in control this time and I can leave when I need. You either come or don't, frankly, I don't care. This is for me no one else." I stand up proving my authority around the table and walk upstairs to start packing my duffle bag when Nat comes into the room and kisses my cheek.

"You would get more authoritative more often" She whispers into my ear. "It is a good look on you Детка"

"Babe? That's a new one" I tease wrapping my arms around her waist. "So are you coming with me?"

"What type of question is that, I can't have you facing your demons alone now can I?" She jokes and stands on her tiptoes to kiss my nose. "Steve is still against it so he is going off somewhere with Sam and said he will tell Wanda and Vision. So we could invite Yelena if you like"

"Do we have enough alcohol for that?" I joke and she snacks my arm before grabbing a bag and filling it with her things. "Yeah, sure would she be up for that or is she busy freeing the Widows?"

"She gets time off and will possibly get to kill someone trust me she is okay with it."

"Wait who said she gets to kill someone?"

"Her words not mine"

"Okay then?" I say sceptically, worried about what this might entail now.

"We will pick her up on the way it will be fine trust me," She tells me before throwing me her bag for me to carry. The pair of us walk downstairs to see Steve and Sam at the front door ready to leave too.

"See later old man, Pigeon keep an eye on him" I wink at Sam as I hug Steve and Sam rolls his eyes at the nickname before hugging me Nat says her goodbyes and we head outside to the old jet Sam and Steve had arrived in yesterday.

"So where are we going?" Nat asks me to jump into the pilot seat to go get Yelena.

"Old outdated town with the population of about 100 everyone knows everyone. My living nightmare." I explain and Nat just looks me over before nodding and starting up the jet.

After a little while, we end up with Yelena sat behind me with Nat as I'm piloting. "So this place is it like and organisations or something like the Red room" Yelena questions and I laughs a little.

"No just a small town, filled with a bunch of assholes." She falls silent clearly in thought.

"If they give you any shit I will kill them for you" She decides her accent is a lot stronger than Natashas it's weird to see the comparison between them.
