The russian one

Chapter 23 : Finally

Y/n's POV

Over the past few weeks I have been training, meditating and working on myself a lot to try to control my power. The others had several missions but as I am not "ready" according to them and they didn't really need me, I never went with them. I must admit I was disappointed but I understand their position and it allowed me to refocus on myself.

Unfortunately I didn't see Nat much, we were able to spend a few evenings together but it was far too short for my taste. It's a shame.

For the moment I am in the gym, sitting cross-legged and meditating. I breathe slowly and try to feel everything my body is experiencing, all the sensations it is undergoing... In this mode, I disconnect from the outside world, and yet I am well aware of what is going on. For example, I know that Clint and Natasha have just entered the room and are walking towards me. I don't hear them talking but I know they are there.

No one's pov

"Hey Y/n!" said Clint as he approached Y/n and went to put his hand on her shoulder. But Nat put his arm in front of Clint to stop him and nodded her head that no, she shouldn't be disturbed.

"But how do you want to inform her that we need to talk to her?" asked Clint next.

"Don't worry, she already knows. She'll come to us when she's ready. We just have to wait now." replied Nat.

Clint looked at her confused but made no comment and focused his gaze on Y/n as he waited for her to speak to them.

Y/n's pov

I remained in a trance for a few more moments and slowly became aware of the world around me. Without opening my eyes, keeping my seat, I started a conversation with the two agents behind me.

"To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?" I asked

"You said you were tired of waiting to go on a mission?" asked Nat behind me. I opened my eyes wide, jumped up and turned to her to look at her.

I saw mischief in her eyes. I then looked at Clint and he quickly followed Nat's game and gave me a playful look. I tried as best I could to stay calm, I must not get excited too quickly, I must play it cool.

"Hmmm Yes indeed I might have said that." I said in a detached way and shrugged my shoulders. Clint looked at me surprised and confused, expecting me to be cheerful, but Nat continued to look at me with her mischievous look.

"It just so happens that Clint and I are leaving on a mission in a few hours and we have one spot left." announced Nat.

YESSSS FINALLY !!!! Okay calm down! Breathe! Breathe!

"Oh yeah? Good luck finding someone to go with you," I said softly as I turned to put my things away. I heard Nat chuckle a little.

"Fury has declared you fit to go to the field." announced Nat after a few seconds of silence. I suddenly turned around and looked at her with wide eyes.

"REALLY?!" I shouted excitedly. I quickly regained my composure as I saw her smirk widen and pride in her eyes. "I mean cool, I mean, it's about time. He had to do it eventually," I said nonchalantly. Clint understood my acting and laughed.

"So?" he asked.

"What?"

"Are you coming with us?" he added.

YES

"Hmmmm" I looked at the clock. I saw out of the corner of my eye Natasha roll her eyes. "Why not? I don't have anything else to do and then I guess you might be outnumbered without me. I have no choice but to agree." I replied, trying to stop myself from smiling.
