CHAPTER TWO -----▹
AFTER DINNER, Iskra had turned her hearing aid off and was sitting on the couch in front of the tv, gently braiding Jessica's hair, she hadn't really been paying attention to the news that was playing across the screen, that was until the words, "Masked Assailant" showed up on the screen. The blonde quickly moved to switch on her hearing aid, "Authorities believe the assailant could be the Ronan..." Iskra let out a small gasp, "что за хрень" she mumbled to herself, already scrambling around for her phone, "What's wrong Iskra?" Jessica asked sleepily, "Nothing Jess." she said tying off the braid, "Go ask auntie Lena to tuck you in, ok?" the small girl nodded running off.
Iskra dialed Clint's number, and rang a few times before he picked up, "Uncle Clint, what the hell is going on?" she asked into the phone, "Yeah, I'm working on that one." he paused, "If you aren't totally opposed, I could use some help." Iskra sighed, "I'm on my way." she mumbled into the phone.
Iskra crept up the stairs, and walked into the room where Yelena was reading Jess a bedtime story, "Hey," She said softly from the doorway causing both of them to look towards her, she walked further into the room sitting at the foot of Jessica's bed, "What's wrong Iskra?" Yelena asked having already read Iskra's body language, "I have to go up to New York, for some..." Iskra paused looking for an acceptable wording, "Some Avengers business."
"What? You can't leave!" Jessica exclaimed, "It's almost Christmas, and Mommy already left me, and Mama, well Mama's gone." Iskra blinked back a few tears at the brokenness in Jessica's voice, she pulled her in for a hug, "Hey, it's gonna be ok Jess, I will be back for Christmas, I promise." Iskra pulled out of the hug, holding out her pinky to the girl, Jessica accepted it, "You can NOT break a pinky promise." the younger girl huffed. "She won't." Yelena spoke, "If she breaks the promise, Auntie Lena, will break her." She said staring Iskra down, Jessica giggled at the interaction.
"I love you." Jessica signed, speaking the words at the same time, "I love you too." Iskra replied, Iskra left the room, and Yelena followed her, after Yelena verified that the door was shut, Yelena drug Iskra away into the living room, "What the hell Iskra" she said, "That kid lost a parent, and her other parent has been absent since then, she can't lose her sister too." Iskra could feel the anger bubbling up inside of her, "I lost her too!" Iskra shouted, "And I have been supporting everyone through their grief, even you. But the moment, I leave to do something for myself, you're giving me hell." Iskra paused, "I am suffocating in grief, I need some space to work through my own emotions. I am doing this one thing and I will be back for Christmas, I don't break promises." Iskra finished, and Yelena was standing still taken back, she wasn't used to Iskra snapping.
Iskra was exhausted by the time she got to New York, her eyes were red from crying, she kind of just let all of her bottled-up emotions out at once, and now she was drained, her original plan had been just to meet Clint at his hotel, that's when she spotted the masked figure fighting off a group of men dressed in tracksuits, whoever was under the mask was a bit new to this but was holding the fight pretty well.
Iskra knew better than to use her powers in fights that she didn't want to be tied to but luckily she was trained by the best so she was able to step in, at this point whoever was dressed in the Ronin suit had got into a nearby car, Iskra made eye contact with Clint as they worked together taking out the men surrounding the car.
Iskra jumped up wrapping her legs around one of their necks, taking out another man in the process, One of them had a baseball bat in their hands, and she used that to knock out two more of them, she flipped her hair out of her face, "And that's how it's done." she said to herself, "Sorry fellas, this is where I make my exit." she said sending them a wink.
She watched as the person in the Ronin suit struggled against Clint, and followed them back to the wall where he pulled off the mask revealing a woman who looked to be around Iskra's age, "Come on!" Clint said very irritated, Iskra just looked a bit shocked, "You're...You're Hawkeye." she said very out of breath, "And who the hell are you?" he asked, Iskra just stood there watching from the side slightly out of breath herself.
