Ghost

Chapter One Hundred Eight

Spencers POV

Yelena and I have been back in Russia for about two weeks.

It's going fairly well. Yelena hasn't been called on a mission yet, but I'm sure that will change soon. She had just gotten back from one before we left, so it makes sense she has a small break.

She's been enjoying it. Or, at least, having a house to herself while I'm at work.

The things you don't realize you miss.

It's also a lot quieter overall. Which we enjoy and find odd at the same time.

Melina and Alexei have had us over three times now for dinner, both were very happy to see us back and had plenty of questions for us.

Alexei also had to ask how Nat and I were doing. Melina scolded him, but I could tell she secretly wanted to know the answer too.

I was happy to tell them we were doing well.

Yelena and I have been back to visit the team twice now.

One was for a small party. Well, Tony's version of a small party. But we were able to wear the second suit we got from Luigi's and I can definitely say they were a hit.

I got compliments from Wanda, Val and Carol. Yes, she was there.

But, I only cared about Nats reaction. Let's just say she loved the suit. And she showed me how much she loved the suit. Multiple times.

After the initial jealousy from the others comments, she couldn't keep her hands off of me all night and things just progressed from there.

I'm not complaining.

Plenty of other noises though.

Sorry. It was just a REALLY good night.

Anyway..

Yelena even talked to someone at the party. I wasn't sure who they were but they had my best friend smiling almost all night, so they were doing something right.

Lena assured me it wasn't anything serious.

We'll see.

Oh, right. The second time we visited it was for a movie night. They had to convince me that it wasn't just to pick out the movie, but they had my favorite snacks so I didn't mind even if it was.

Yes. I have visited by myself as well. But those visits were just to see Natasha. And most were late at night.

We just missed each other and needed to cuddle up in bed..

Right.

So I've been doing a bunch of tattoos, too.

At least a few a day, really trying to make up for lost time without burning myself out. I went so long without doing a tattoo that I needed a day or two to get use to it again.

It was like riding a bike, though.

My customers all loved their artwork and I loved getting back into it.

I had to do some explaining on why I was gone for so long as Alexei didn't really give much reasoning.

But once they found out I had an accident but was doing much better, they all understood.

Plus, I gave them a small discount on their tattoos for having to push them back so long.

So it's been really good that I've been able to do so many. Even though I have a lot more to do before I can say I'm caught up, it's felt really good.
