Lunar Love

Chapter 11

Luna POV

I slowly opened the gift, tears going down my face at the sight of what was inside, memories rushing back.

  Flashback

"Help me!" I screamed out from a nightmare, being awoken by my two older sisters. "Shh Shh it's okay" Yelena mumbled as Natasha handed me something "her name is Ms cuddleburg. She helped Lena and I when we were your age" Natasha smiled handing me the small teddy.

Flashback over

Wanda walked into my room probably from me being in there a while. She saw the teddy and smiled "Ms cuddleburg?" She asked and I nodded "how'd you know?" I asked "both Nat and Lena have mentioned it before. I think they used to have one each too." I gently placed the bear on my bed looking at the note inside. It read, "not the exact teddy but a close match. Happy birthday Luna" I smiled softly at it. "I'm gonna go. Want me to call Nat so you can thank her?" Wanda asked me

    "Yeah please" I nodded as Wanda walked out, returning my gaze to the bear. I don't know how long I was staring but Natasha tapped me bring me out of my daze. "Do you like it?" She asked and I nodded wiping away the tears. "I still remember when you gave it to me yknow" I spoke, seeing Natasha nod out of the corner of my eye "I remember too. You had such bad nightmares until I gave you that, and then they just stopped. Did they...come back? When Yelena and I got out?" Natasha asked seeming unsure "no. I still had the bear and I used to think about you both at night. I missed you both so much" I smiled softly at Nat, her returning it "we missed you too"

   I leaned on Nat, feeling her hug me. "Thank you for the gift. I didn't even know it was my birthday" I chuckled. "It's the date you chose. Lena and I don't know our birthdays either so we chose dates. Mines December 3rd" she said and I nodded "I know I remember. And Yelena's is November 1st" I spoke hearing a small "mhm" from the elder woman. We stayed like that for a little while longer. I cleared my throat "can I ask you questions? I don't remember a lot about our time together, and I don't think you shared much then" I asked her. "Sure you can." "What was your life like? Before Dreykov" I asked hearing her sigh "I always knew about it. I didn't tell Yelena. I tried to forget about it, have a childhood and then one day we started running, I knew what that meant. I'd be going to the red room, and so would Yelena. I tried to protect her best I could, but I was a kid too" she finished. "I'm sorry"

    "It's okay. What was yours like?" She asked in return "I only had a few years before. It was odd, a lot of testing because of my powers. But Melina was a great mom, Alexi was...eh. And then well they were whispering a lot that day and they said we were going on a ride, that I'd get to meet my sisters. I ended up in the red room. And I met you two" I finished, running my hands through my red hair. Natasha grabbed the bear and looked at it "I bought one of these a few years after I got out yknow" she mumbled making me smile a little bit.
