Unspoken

The Sudden Offer

The day after the previous mission.

I needed some time. I didn't want to think about Natasha so the next day I woke up, went straight to a club and spent all day there. Yelena even had to drag me out of there at 6 am. Thank god she did because I completely lost track of time.

"Hey! Eyes open, drink that water." Yelena snaps her fingers in front of my face and I drink my water from the bottle slightly opening my eyes. In order to keep my eyes open I look at the road the entire time. When we arrive Yelena turns her gaze at me.

"Now be honest, how drunk are you still?"

"Sober enough to kill someone if I had to." I chose to go to the farthest club in the city so while coming back home I could feel my drunkenness fading away.

"Good. I'm going to deliver this time, the meeting is in New Jersey so you go get some sleep." I open the car door but look at my sister once again. "Aren't you tired of going back and forth all the time because I almost am."

"I am more tired of you right now." she takes a pause for a moment, "Ira, you know that it's easy money and we need it so get out I got to go." She's right, it is easy money and maybe even too good to be true. But it's so exhausting. Traveling all the time back and forth hell knows where is not fun when you do it too much. It almost starts to make me want to throw up at times when I spend so much time in a car. Although I like driving because of the feeling when you have so much control over the speed.

I step out of the car and head to the already similar and high building. While I wait for the elevator leaning against the wall I can't think of anything else than wanting to throw my heels away. They have been torturing me for twelve hours. As the elevator doors open I see a couple in front of me making out. I enter the elevator and press the 18th button. I don't think the couple even noticed me since they are so focused on each other's mouth. I'm too tired to even question why these people are making out almost at 7 am in the elevator on Thursday so I just turn my back to them. But hearing their passionate kissing makes me miss sex. It makes me remember and miss the person I shouldn't miss. I left so fast that I didn't even get to talk to him properly. But I don't regret leaving. God no. I would do it again every single time I had a chance. My consciousness comes back to reality as the elevator finally arrives at my floor and the doors open. I step out of it going to our apartment.

The first thing I do as I step in is immediately throw my heels away and stretch my toes. It feels so good after I've been on my heels for the whole day. After that I lock the front door and reach out to turn on the lights but nothing happens. I flick the switcher a couple more times but the lights won't turn on. I get alerted immediately because that has never happened before and something is definitely off. What if they've found me? A thought crosses my mind but I brush it off. It can't be possible. Not yet anyway. But whoever it is, now we'll have to move away and I've just started to love this apartment and New York.

Annoyed at that, I take out my silent guns from my stockings and try to not make any sound as I check the bathroom and the kitchen. Both empty. As soon as I walk into the living room the lights go back on and I see a man figure sitting on the couch. I immediately point my gun at him, ready to shoot any time even though I recognize the face in front of me as soon as I see him clearly. But I gotta admit I nearly got a heart attack.

"Nice place you've got." I keep still not moving my gaze anywhere from Stark. "Was it hard to get it or did you have to kill the previous residents in order to have it?" A slight smirk forms his lips and I can't keep my eyes from that. Why did I find it kind of attractive?

"What do you want?"

"Take a breath Kim Possible. I'm not here to make enemies even though I have every reason to." I cock my head slightly to the side at his comment confused, not quite understanding what he means. "You're not going to find a hookup here either so you better start talking." I say threateningly but he just watches me for a few seconds mysteriously in silence. His eyes travel down my body and back up to my eyes. Oh right, I still have my pretty short black dress on from the clubbing.

"Does the name Aldrick Killian tell you anything?" I freeze for a moment. I don't show any emotions but I definitely didn't expect hearing that name anytime soon. "What about it?" Tony takes a short pause again taking his time to see through me.

"He is not a good guy and he is planning to do something bad. We want to stop his little experiments. Rumor has it Mark Wilson knew Killian very well. In fact he even knew his location but you see, now, Mark is pretty much just a rotten flesh, thanks guess to who?" Why is he talking to me like I'm a child?

"Where are you leading this?"

"Where is Killian, Irina?" Awesome, he already knows my name, where I live and probably my history with Aldrick. I should have been more careful. This New York makes you trust it too much. I wonder if Natasha told him anything about me even though she doesn't even know me anymore. "What makes you think I know that?" Now a smile appears on his mouth and he stands up.

"You are playing a really dangerous game here, darling." He takes a few steps closer to me but is still pretty far away. "I'm not playing anything, darling. Just doing my job." I say as I mock his nickname.

"Listen, I don't need to know why you killed Mark and have been trying to kill Killian but we could really use each other's help. We could all team up. By telling me his location, I'll give you something to help you handle him and the Avengers can handle everything else." It all almost sounds too good to be true. Or maybe I'm just overreacting. I have been trying to make the right poison for my bullets for killing Killian for a few months, but I've been busy and don't have all the ingredients for that. I know for sure that Tony Stark is a hell of a smart guy and if he made the right poison for the bullets, I actually might have a chance to kill that asshole this time.

"How can you be sure they will work? You know the basic bullets won't kill him, right?" Suddenly he is closer to me, our feet almost touching. It makes me lift my head up a little because of our height difference.

"It passed all the tests and I have spent months on this thing. Didn't know you would come along but I'm ready to gift it to you if you agree to cooperate." Yelena will hate me for this. But I have to finish this. Plus I'll get to see my long lost best friend if the avengers are coming along. I decide to lower my guns at this point.

"If you screw me over with this, I will haunt every single one of you until you are all dead." A large smirk forms Tony's lips before he says anything. "Deal." He backs aways and heads toward the front door. "We are doing it now. Get dressed, I will wait for you in my car."

I got dressed into my suit and put on my coat. It wasn't hard to recognize which one of all the poor cars were Tony's so I found my way to him fast. We didn't talk during the ride much so I took advantage of that by trying to figure out what the fuck to tell Yelena. The last person I should be lying to is her. We never lie to each other since we trust each other with our lives.

I ended up writing her a text saying that I was going to a mall. It wasn't a lie though because I am going to a mall after this shit. We need more drinks at home so it wouldn't require me to visit the club or a bar almost every day. I only told her the truth. Well half the truth since one of our promises was to never lie to each other.

"By the way, I know you're independent and shit but Wanda could help you. You know she can manipul...", "I know what that witch can do." I interrupt him because the silence before was so good I almost even fell asleep. "Alright." Hearing Wanda's name doesn't bring only little good memories, but it'll be nice to see her after such a long time. I think. If she doesn't hate me for leaving too. Another familiar face will definitely not be happy to see me. I can already predict what's coming. Let's hope I'll see Yelena after this.
