"Natasha..." Mia whispered, dragging out the syllables as she walked into an apartment in Budapest where the widow was supposedly hiding.

"Come out, come out wherever you are," She teased as she held up her gun as she stalked through the apartment.

"I know you're in here."

She walked further inside, checking each room before she reached the kitchen where Natasha stood, holding her gun up in a defensive position, "Mia?"

"Long time no see, sestra," The blonde spoke as she stared at the red-headed woman before her.

"So are we gonna talk like grown ups?" Natasha asked.

"Is that what we are? Put it down."

"You put yours down," The older Avenger told her as she walked closer causing Mia to take a few steps back only to trip slightly on a ledge. "Watch your step."

Mia chuckled softly. They stood not even a foot apart before they both put their guns down, "I have to admit, that was a little dramatic, even your you, sestra."

Natasha smiled, "You just had to come to Budapest, didn't you?"

"I heard you were attacked. I figured you would lay low here," The blonde told her as she glanced inside the fridge before pulling out a bottle of vodka and two shot glasses.

Natasha sighed before pulling out a package of red vials, "What are these?"

"You brought them back here?" Mia asked with wide eyes.

"You need to tell me what the hell these are."

Mia sighed, her father would be joining them any minute. She had sent him to secure the perimeter before she had entered, mainly because she couldn't stand another minute with him after their long flight.

"It's a synthetic gas. The counteragent to chemical subjugation. The gas immunizes the brain's neuropathways from external manipulation."

Natasha scoffed, "Maybe in English next time?"

"It's an antidote to mind control," Mia told her in Russian.

"Real mature," Natasha scoffed.

"Why don't you take it to Tony? He can explain it to you."

"I don't wanna be here. I'm on the run. You could've gotten me killed. I didn't even know I had these, Mia. You could have at least told me."

"Well, what was I supposed to do? You're the only superhero person that I know I can trust with my life. That was the whole reason I gave it to you. Did you know the Red Room is still active?"

"What? Taking down the Red Room? What are you talking about? It's been gone for years. Dreykov's dead. I killed him. You know that."

"If you're so sure, then tell me what happened. Tell me exactly."
