Another Shit Plan

"Who is he?" I ask. I know I shouldn't, it's a bad idea. I'm not allowed to ask, I don't need to know who the boy is. My mission is to find him and eliminate him, no need to know why. But I feel weird while looking at his picture, there is something in his face that's familiar. His eyes look so similar to mine and his hair has the same light blonde colour.

"Cosmo." Dreykov answers me. I furrow my eyebrows, why did he tell me that? "Cosmo Reyonova." He smiles. God I really hate his smile, his face. His everything.

Only now I begin to realise what he just said. Cosmo Reyonova. That's my brothers name. And that's also why he's telling me this. It's a test, it'll make things harder for me.

I take a deep breath before I talk again, I need to make sure my voice sounds strong and secure, I can't be weak in front of him. I can never be weak. I'm not weak. "I thought he was dead." I say while trying to swallow the lump in my throat. "Why are you telling me this?" I ask, my voice steady.

Dreykov chuckles before he stands up from his chair and walks around his desk. He looks so tall now, it's a good technique to demostrate power. "Because you won't remember anything from this." He says as he looks at my face the whole time, searching for a reaction.

But I'm not giving him that satisfation. I'm also clever enough to not ask any more questions, I know I'll get punishment already.

"Don't you wanna know how?" He asks. I nod hesitantly. I know he doesn't want to tell me so I know what he's doing or because it would make me more afraid. He likes to brag about things he accomplishes even though that's all his widows work.

He sighs beofre walking back to his chair. "A widow from an older generation made a specific gas. It makes you forget the last day. You know what that means?"

"Yes, sir." I say. I know he doesn't want a full answer, he knows I'm aware. Dreykov only wants to play with his power.

"Go now, Reyonova. Be back before the twenty four hours are over." He says and I quickly walk out of the room after. I know what would happen if I don't come back in the given time.

Costia opened her eyes, the image of Dreykov was still right in front of her. His ugly face grinning down at her. "You alright?" Natasha asked as she realized the blonde's breathing had become uneven.

"Yeah, yeah." Costia mumbled when she turned around in Natasha's arms, their position from the night before hadn't changed. "I... I had a dream."

Natasha sensed something disrupted her. Her furrowed eyebrows and the way she wasn't looking at Natasha reminded the redhead of the time right after Costia had joined Shield. "It was about the Red Room, wasn't it?"

"Mhm-hm." the blonde nodded while snuggling her head to Natasha's neck. Breathing in Natasha's scent reminded her that she was safe, no one could hurt her. Natasha wrapped her arms closer around her wife, "Wanna talk about it?" she whispered.

Even though neither Natasha nor Costia ever believed talking would help, it actually did. Telling their own problems to someone else made them lighter.

Costia felt a knot form in her throat, similar to when she was dreaming. She didn't want to believe what happened in the dream but her dreams were mostly real memories, not fictional things.

She took a deep breath, it made her remember her stomach which hurt a little less but still a lot. "Natasha, I think I killed my brother." Costia whispered, trying to hold back the tears which had formed in her eyes.
