Song: Je te laisserai des mots by Patrick Watson

October 14, 2023. 3:55 am New York.

Normal POV:

It's so cold, sand all around this damn bunker. My wrists and ankles are chained leaving my body exposed. "You're awake." I hear with no tell where it's coming from. In this darkness, I hear a language that I don't register. Cold water is what I bathe in next. "What a useless soldier defending its pathetic country." I try to respond but am limited by the hit to my stomach. "Let's have some fun for you. No?" Hit after hit. My legs, torso, and to my crotch. After they discover that I'm no ordinary, they took it to their advantage. I'm trying my best to mask the pain but I could feel my body giving up when they stop. Please not the..."AHHHHH" I bite my lip trying to mute my screaming. Screaming is what they want. Electrocution is one of their offs. "We have something new for your next round." Laughter is what I kept hearing until passing out.

That laughter makes my body jolts up. I feel someone next to me causing me to crawl, searching for a corner. It feels warmer, with no smell of urine or vomit. As I kept searching for a corner, I hear a familiar voice. "y/n/n, try to remember you're home. Feel the floors, it's not sand." Nicole. I noticed that the floors had some rugs. Not carpet, but strings of a rug. "N-Nicole?" I try to see her but my vision isn't there yet. " Yes, I'm right here y/n/n. Do you know where you are?" "Scarlett's house?" I hear a low sigh of relief. "You're back, here's some water." "I can't see yet but can you lift me up?" I tell her as I raise my arms. "Yeh, of course, Scarlett is here too. She's the one who found you like this." As they lifted up and guided me to the couch, my vision slowly starts to come in. I see Nicole grabbing the glass of water and Scar's face in worry. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you both," I say as I take the glass of water. "Do I have to remind you every time? Don't worry, and don't apologize." Nicole says. This makes me cringe a little, I just feel guilty. "But it's just-" "No don't blame yourself, don't feel like your guilty. This is the reality of having a loved one in service and this comes with the package deal. So don't worry." Nicole interrupts, she's been through these millions of times. I just look down at the glass of water, avoiding Scarlett right now. "My throat hurts, did I scream?" I asked. "Yeah you did, do you want some tea? It will help." I nodded to Nicole's offer. "Your usual?" "Yep." "I'll be right back then." I feel the couch dent and Scarlett's soft hand on my thigh. "You know you don't have to talk about it. I'll be here, you just relax." With her saying that I just laid my head on her shoulder. "I got you, love." "My body hurts," I whispered. "Ok, I'll let Nicole know so she can get you some painkillers. Is that ok?" I nodded.

As Nicole comes and leaves my tea, Scarlett continues to tell her where the painkiller is. "If it's Tylenol 600 mg, 1 and a half will do," I tell Nicole, she just nodded. "Let's talk about something else while she gets them. I'll start if you want." "Please," I whisper. "You know, Rose and Cosmo are excited to meet you. I've been talking about you and seeing their reaction. They look excited to finally meet you. After Elena met them, they were attached to her. Like she spent two days with me while I was in L.A. Lizzie and I had to give them some melatonin so we could leave." This makes me smile, imagine Elena with Rose and Cosmo. "Thank you, angel." Nicole drops the painkillers on my hand. "Seeing you with Scarlett means that I can go back to sleep. I love you no matter what, ok?" She kisses my forehead. "Not the forehead kiss, I love you, dumbass." Earning the famous FRIENDS middle finger joke.

Scarlett's POV:

While Y/N drinks their tea, I continue talking about random things. "You know, what if you join me to Atlanta? I'm filming for Marvel, the kids could bond more and I could take you to the Aquarium there." They laid down and I just moved their legs on my thighs. "I love to but when though? I didn't know that Nicole and Elena moved us to L.A." "How though? We sent you letters and emails." Confused by this since their line was open the whole time. "I couldn't reach them, I wasn't in base." They responded. "Could you get those letters back though? I mean I would love to see your reaction." "Oh I have them, they're in my duffle bag. I read some on the way here." Of course, now I'm getting nervous. But all I see is Y/N's smirk. "I love them, I never thought you were like that or into that. From the letters to my favorite pictures now." They lower their voice. "I thought it was too soon but at the time, I felt creative, and well yeah." I explain as I ramble. "I can see that, you look soo beautiful and sexy in that set. Don't worry, love. I love them but now I have to figure out where to keep them." They say, now moved to me so we could cuddle. I see Y/N relax and started drifting to sleep. "Goodnight, love." I whispered, gently playing with their hair. 

A/N:

Let's pretend that Black Widow was filmed in 2023 instead of 2018-19, so I can introduce Florence in this. 

What do you think? What do y'all want to see or include?
