childhood friends

Chapter 30 - house

Katerina PoV:
We just landed and Yelena came rushing into the jet. "Omg I missed you so much!" She said while pulling me into a hug. I hugged her back and Natasha looked so offended. "Eh you not so much..." Lena said with complete disgust while looking at Nat. "I could say the exact same thing but I won't because I'm just simply better than you." Natasha replied smugly while grabbing our bags. "You wish." Lena said and Nat just put her finger up at her. I laughed at there bickering.

"Are you still confident in your decision to decline the birth control I offered you." She joked and I laughed. "Yeah I'm 100% confident." I told her as we both saw Clint stumble out the house.

It was a relatively big house in the middle of nowhere. It had a porch that had a porch swing and a bench that Clint and Cooper made. Laura, Nathanial and Lila painted them. Well Nathanial mostly watched because he is still only a toddler but he was kinda involved.

"God what did you do to him? He hasn't looked that exhausted since I joined S.H.E.I.L.D." I joked as I pulled him in for a hug. "I didn't do anything!" The childish woman defended while throwing her hands up in the air. "Yelena look at this poor man, he look like he's on the verge of withering away." I told her and she laughed. "It was self inflicted." She told me while folding her arms of her chest. "Sure it was." I replied as I helped the man back into the house. "It wasn't." He mumbled and I suppressed a laugh. I plopped him down on the coach.

We heard a car rev outside so I went outside. "Ah my favourite lesbian!" Stark said from his expensive sports car. "Don't let Nat hear you say that." I joked and he laughed while handing me a bottle of pills. "Banner changed your dosage." He said and I looked at the cylindrical orange bottle.

'Zoloft 100 MG (sertraline)
Katariina Novak Kovaleva
One pill taken in the morning with food and one pill taken at night with food'

The label read and I shoved it in my pocket. Natasha always had to keep a bottle of benzodiazepines, a sedative, on her in case I get a flashback. Last time I got a flashback I tried to kill Bucky so I didn't argue when Christina recommended that she keep them on her. I ended up going back to see Christina and she diagnosed me with depression, anxiety, PTSD and apparently sometimes I dissociate.

"Thanks, but you didn't come all this way just to give me my meds." I told him and he took his sun glasses off. "Everyone is wondering if you and Nat are still on call." He asked and I shrugged. "Not at the moment but that might change but this could of all be done over a phone call Stark, what are you not telling me?" I questioned and he huffed like a toddler. "Fine! I wanted to come see the house and I need to pick Clint and Lena up. Oh and this showed up at the compound for you." He admitted and I laughed at him as he handed a box which had my old name on it.

'Karina Kovaleva'

"Or did you just miss me that much?" I asked and he ignored my suggestion and walked into the house. He sat down next to Clint and pulled his phone out. "Wanda was not very happy when you hung up on her." He informed me. "I know but I told no one to phone us. What does she do? Fucking phone me." I complained while going into the kitchen to put the box down. "You didn't have to answer." Tony reminded me and I scoffed. "Yeah because if the world was being invaded by aliens that's exactly what I would want to do. Just not answer and continue to have sex with my wife." I carried on complaining while going upstairs to find my wife.

"Natasha!" I shouted to find out what room she was in. "Yeah?" She shouted back from our bedroom.

All the furniture was already set up and where we wanted because we set it up and decorated before we went on our honeymoon. We just needed to unpack our clothes from the honeymoon, which was quite a lot seemings we were gone for 2 months.

I hugged her from behind and rested my head on her shoulder. "Hello." I said softly as both of us are pretty jet lagged. "I can't believe we did it." She said and I forced her to turn around and look at me. "Me too." I replied while giving her a quick kiss. "I am so exhausted." I admitted. While I collapsed onto the bed. "Me too." She responded while sitting down next to me. "Katya we have a house to unpack." She reminded me and I groaned.

I climbed out of bed and we went downstairs. "I think Clint needs some of your words of encouragement." I told her while looking over at Clint who was about to pass out from exhaustion. "I think he needs a beer." I joked and Nat laughed. "I'll go get him one." I said as I walked into the kitchen. I grabbed a beer out the fridge and opened it for him.

I went handed it to him. He quickly took it and started drinking it. I sat net to Natasha on the other couch and rested my head on her shoulder. "Yelena, Barton you're coming with me." Tony said growing impatient. "All right we're coming!" Yelena groaned as she got up. She helped Clint up and they left.

"Can we go unpack so then we can go to sleep?" I asked and Natasha nodded. "That sounds like a plan." She said as we both got up. "What was that?" She asked referring to the noise the pills made in my pocket at the crumple of the envelope when I got up. I took the pills out my pocket at showed her. "Bruce upped my dosage because it wasn't working as well as it should've been." I explained to her and she nodded.

I got the letter out and looked at it for a second before handing it over to her. "What is this?" She asked and I shrugged my shoulders. "Do you wanna find out?" She asked and I had to think about if for a second. "Yeah but not today. I will open it tomorrow." I told her and she nodded handing it back to me.

We went upstairs and put out clothes in the closet and got in bed. "I love you." I mumbled as I drifted off to sleep.
