Adopted by Scarlett Johansson

01.

"I'm going for a walk." Clara lowered her eyes and walked away. She couldn't believe what had just happened. She felt so alone. Nobody understood her. Clara walked fleetingly through the streets of London. It was very busy in the city. Many people were shopping.

"Hey Clara!" Someone put an arm around her and Clara winced. It was Diego. "What do you want Diego." Clara muttered. 'Nothing. I'm just checking in to see how my favorite girl is doing.' said Diego. "Yeah, so I'm not." Clara threw Diego's arm away and she ran faster. "Hey Clara, wait!" Diego quickened his pace to keep up with Clara.

"Leave me alone Diego." Clara muttered. Diego ignored Clara and continued to walk beside her. 'Where are you going?' he asked curiously. "It's none of your business." Clara said softly. The girl walked on. She hated that Diego walked with her. Why didn't he just leave her alone?

Clara walked towards the park. Just as Clara was about to walk into the park, Diego grabbed the girl. "Clara, we have to get back. We're going to dinner in a minute.' He looked at her with cold eyes. Clara felt a nasty twinge through her stomach. She didn't want to go back. She didn't want to live in the orphanage anymore. She wanted someone who actually cared about her.

"Diego, you're pinching me." Clara squeaked. He was still holding Clara's arm. "I won't let go of you until you promise to follow along." said Diego. Clara nodded. So that was definitely not what she intended, but anything was better than being squeezed. Diego released the girl and immediately Clara ran as fast as she could.

"Stupid bitch." Diego ran as fast as he could after Clara but the girl was much faster than him. Smoothly Clara squeezed past the crowd. She wanted to get as far away from this place as possible. "Clara, come here!" shouted Diego. Clara didn't listen and she ran as fast as she could.

At the end of the street Clara arrived at a traffic light. The traffic light was red. Clara looked back and saw Diego approaching. She couldn't think clearly anymore. She was in so much panic. She began to breathe faster and she felt her heart beat faster.

'Are you okay?' A woman tapped Clara on her shoulder. Startled, Clara turned around. She nodded quickly. A man also approaches. 'What's your name?' the woman asked.

Clara wanted to answer, but Diego joined her. "Clara, come with me." Angrily he grabbed Clara's arm and yanked her along. "Wait a minute. Let her go.' The man interfered. 'Why would I? She's coming with me.' said Diego stubbornly. "Young man, I can clearly see she doesn't want that. Release her immediately.'

"I'm not afraid of you." said Diego. 'Not? I would be.' said the woman. "So who are you then?" Diego looked at the woman defiantly. 'Her mother.' The woman acted. 'That is not possible. Clara has no mother. She's a dirty orphan.' He looked dirty at Clara. The woman looked at Clara, then turned back to the boy. "Leave her alone now or I'll call the police."

Reluctantly, Diego let go of the girl. "I'll get you." He turned and walked away. Clara watched the boy. 'Are you okay?' The woman looked concerned. Clara looked at her and her mouth dropped open. "You're Scarlett Johansson!"

She knew Scarlett well. She thought Scarlett was a fantastic actress. The boys in the orphanage liked to watch Marvel movies, so Clara often watched when a movie was on. While the boys were always enthusiastically talking about Tony Stark or Steve Rogers, Clara preferred to watch Black Widow. She thought Natasha Romanoff was an interesting character. Much nicer than all those guys.

'That's right. This is my husband Colin.' Scarlett introduced her husband with a chuckle. Shyly Clara shook his hand. She also recognized Colin from television. "Are you okay again?" asked Scarlett. Clara nodded. She still couldn't quite comprehend what had happened.

"I'll go." said Clara. 'Wait! Who was that boy?' asked Scarlett. She wasn't feeling well anyway, and she was worried about Clara. "He lives with me in the orphanage." Embarrassed, Clara looked at the ground. She was scared to death. Scarlett Johansson stood in front of her and all she knew about her was that she is an orphan.

'What a mean boy. Does he do this to you often?' asked Colin. Clara bit her lip nervously. "Clara, you can tell me and Colin anything honestly." said Scarlett. She saw by the girl that she didn't dare say anything. "Sorry, but I don't want to talk about it." Clara wanted to run away but Scarlett grabbed her wrist. "Clara, is someone hurting you?" She looked at her concerned. There were tears in Clara's eyes. Why did she keep asking? She wouldn't cry in front of Colin and Scarlett's nose.

'If not, come with me to our apartment. Then we'll talk further there. Does that sound like a good plan to you?' asked Scarlett. Normally Clara would say no right away. You never knew what kind of people you were dealing with, but when Scarlett Johansson asked her, she couldn't refuse the offer, so she just nodded.
