"Are you sure you want to do this?" Natasha asked as they stood in the field, surrounded by the wreckage of the fallen Red Room. Dust and smoke floated through the air, making it hard to breathe, but Vixen's heart was happy for the first time in her miserable life.
"I'm sure." She responded. "Dreykov experimented on me. I was his lab rat whenever he pleased. He submitted me to chemical altering and I don't know what the effects are." A sigh slipped past Vixen's lips. "Could be anything for all we know."
A year slipped from Natasha's eye, a bittersweet sensation tugging at her heart. "I'll miss you, моя дорогая." (My dear)
Vixen wrapped her arms around Natasha's body, closing her eyes as she memorised everything about the woman infront of her. "я буду скучать по тебе больше." (I'll miss you more)
She stepped back from Natasha, sending her a tight smile. "It's for everyone else's good."
"So what?" Came a voice from behind them. Vixen swirled around, coming face to face with Yelena. "You're just going to submit yourself to a self-administrated prison?" Her accent was heavy, just as Vixens.
"Lena, I have to, you don't understand."
"I don't understand what?" The blonde scoffed. "You got free from one mind controlling hell and you want to submit yourself to another?"
"Yelena, calm down." Came another voice. It was Melina, who was limping to the three, having overheard their argument. "I know a place that is not a 'mind controlling prison'."
Vixen's head snapped to her. "Really?"
"Yes. It's an academy for outcasts. You could say that me and the principle are... acquaintances."
"Acquaintances?" Natasha raised an eyebrow.
"More like Melina tried to kill her." Snorted Yelena.
Melina hummed. "It did go something like that. I'm sure you would fit right in."
Vixen clapped her hands together. "Okay, that's settled. We now know I'm not going to a 'mind controlling institute'." She sent a pointed look to Yelena who shrugged and rolled her eyes.
"I have to go before Ross and his friends arrive." Natasha said. "He's a government official who wants to arrest me for betraying Tony Stark." She added on when Vixen tilted her head in confusion. "I can drop you off on my way to Scotland."
"Scotland? I didn't take you as the type to go sightseeing when your a wanted criminal."
Natasha shrugged. "I have a safe house there."
"Perfect."
