23. The story... lie

A/n Quick question just, do you like to read in first or second person? Really need to know what you guys thing about that

Arya pov

There is a light knock on the door that makes me rise from the bed, walking over to the door. I know it's Yelena even before i open it.

"Arya" she says in a greeting. I nod hi back as i gesture for her to come into the room. I can see how tense she is as i close the doors behind her. "Tony thinks i can make you remember who they think you where"

"And who do you think i am?" i ask in return. I really didn't want her to become a problem in this, not that she's innocent but she did save my life by taking the shot on the target before he could take the shot on me. Whether I like it or not, i owe her.

"Arya, the silver assassin that's as quick with her words as she's with a knife. How i didn't recognize you from all those pictures, only one reason. It's not you" she explains her theory.

"And what did you think you were gonna accomplish by telling me that? I'm not leaving"

"You're not even gonna try to deny it? Not even gonna try to trick me" i can tell she's confused by me not hiding.

"Why would i? It's not like anyones gonna believe you is there?" the fearlessness in my voice and expressions scare her more than she'd admite.

"My sister will"

"No she won't, because she was the first one to believe it. She was all to busy wishing y/n was here that it was perfect. Yelena, don't you see it. Your sister was in love with her... sorry let me correct that your sister is in love with her. She's too desperate for it to be real that she won't even try to listen to the truth." i say with a smile as i sit down on the bedend. "Not even if i were to tell her it's not real to her face"

"Then what the hell are you doing here? It can't be me because you didn't know i was coming and you don't like being stepped around like they're walking on glass, which they are doing right now. Why come back?"

"I really thought you were smarter than this Yelena" i say as i walk over to the writing desk, her eyes never letting me go. "I for one think it's oblivius. But maybe that's just me"

"What..." she starts but i see as it clicks in her eyes. I take out the powder from the pouch before turning back to face her. "You're after Bucky?"

"Correction again, they're after Bucky. I'm just the delivery"

"Delivery with that? The kill shot"

"Impressive, you are smarter after all. But i really wished you hadn't said anything, i really didn't want you in the midst of this. But since i owe you one i'll let you get away with it this time" she has a question mark all over her face but i just smile.

"Nothings that easy with you Arya, read the fine print"

"You're not gonna remember it darling, you are gonna believe in the lie i've told everyone and not do a damn thing about it" with those words it blows the powder in her face. Watching as she tenses up for a second before relaxing again. She turns around confused as to who she got into the middle of my room.

"You feeling okay? You look like you've seen a ghost" i ask and it clicks in her eyes, my story.

"I forgot what i was gonna say, sorry" she says with an apologetic smile as she sits down on the couch, i sit down opposed to her in an armchair.

"Tony thought you could talk to me and make me remember something, as you know this me and i haven't seen or talked to Bucky in almost a decade. He decided that you're the closest, so what should we talk about Yelena?" It seems like she's at a loss of words. Like the only thing she had on her mind coming up was to confront me, leaving no other words at her disposal when forgetting.

"I don't know, how about you tell me everything you remember already?"

"I don't remember anything, only things i've gathered about my life are from journals and from what they've told me" i answer her and put my play to start.

"So it's like your whole life here is erased, god it sounds even worse than the mind control at the red room" she says with a small laugh that i mirror.

"There is one thing but i can't exactly pinpoint what it was"

"Tell me"

"All i know is that i was the summer of 2015, we were down by the bridge and i had thrown both myself and Maria into the lake. It was right before Ultron and you"

"You and Maria were dating at that time, right?"

"No, we had broken up a few months prior to that, at the beginning of the year. It was sort of with Bucky at the time but it wasn't serious. We had broken up because she didn't trust me, i don't know why though" i explain and she really seemed to listen to me. Maybe the powder does more than the start, or i am just that good. "I tried to find it in one of the diary but there isn't any record of that day"

"What's the thing that you remember about that day then?"

"It's the day i forgave Maria, for not trusting in me" now, i've put down the thread. All i need now is for them to follow it. And hopefully the information my brother gave me is correct or i might just need that plan B after all.
