The Younger Agent - Natasha Romanoff x OC

Chapter 104 - Backseat Trilogy

Getting the keys to the car was easy, three highly trained spies could get that job done in a jiffy. The tough part was deciding the seating arrangements. It had been automatically decided that Natasha was going to drive, she usually opted for it, and Yelena seemed to pick up on that fact when she had her motorbike hijacked by her own sister.

The older woman stood at the sidelines of the car, tapping her foot on the ground as she watched her sister and wife bickering like children over who got to sit in the front. Luckily, no one seemed to be paying attention to the adults acting like infants whilst trying to steal a car, they were all just focused on playing games or eating with their families.

Meanwhile, Natasha just wanted to get in the car and drive away from hers.

"I had to sit in the back when we were being chased by that tank thing in both of the vehicles we used, Lena!", was Eleanor's argument, one that she thought would hold up in court if she were to testify against her sister-in-law.

"Exactly, it's a pattern, you're used to sitting in the back so you can do it again with no issues", Yelena shrugged and went to open the passenger door only to have her arm grasped by the woman next to her.

Eleanor shook her head and gave the best glare that she could, only to get laughed at, "You are not scary Eleanor Hughes, you're like a fluffy little panda", she patted Eleanor on the head and was promptly swatted away by the victim.

"If you two don't get your asses in the car in two seconds I will drag you to the middle of nowhere and leave you there, understood?", Natasha stepped forward, and the two other women found themselves shrinking in their place.

"Yes", Eleanor sighed, though her melancholy face was quickly replaced with a scowl when Yelena jumped into the passenger seat and winked at the defeated woman still standing by the door.

Natasha sent her a sympathetic smile and briskly walked over to place a kiss on the side of her head before patting her butt a couple of times, "Ass in the car", she spoke sternly but with a smirk. Eleanor gave a mock salute as she clambered into the back, thanking Natasha who closed the door for her. Not out of courtesy, but to make sure that they could hightail it out of the place.

As soon as everyone was buckled in, Nat slammed her foot onto the accelerator and sped off into the night, not wanting to risk anyone chasing the car down. Nat had always been one for seatbelt safety, having to constantly remind Eleanor to put hers on back when they were friends and first started dating, but with the recent events of having their cars blown up twice, she took extra care to make sure everyone in the car had theirs on.

Though over the recent years of having experienced Nat's speedy driving, Eleanor doesn't need to be told twice to put her seatbelt on.

With the journey in tow, and it being late at night, Eleanor decided to rest her eyes in the back, not sleeping, just resting her eyes. Whenever she said that out loud in the past it made her feel incredibly old, it's something that her Aunt would say whilst they were watching game shows in the evening.

Her train of thought whilst resting her eyes continued being of England, she missed that place more than ever now and would give anything to have a hug from her aunt. Visiting home with Natasha was the highlight of her year, but now visiting would likely have Sarah put in harm's way. Which was a terrifying prospect. It's likely that Ross had already interviewed her to try and get an idea of where the two spies were hiding.

That fact made Eleanor's blood boil.

"You know, this is the first piece of clothing I've ever brought for myself", Yelena's voice broke the silence, and Eleanor's eyes opened. She was thankful for having her thoughts interrupted, as they were just working her up, so she sluggishly lifted her head from resting on the seat and leaned forward, placing her elbows on her knees and holding her cheeks in her hands.
