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." No tell on where it's coming from. In this darkness, I hear a language that I don't register. Cold water is what I'm 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 discovered that I'm no ordinary, they took it to their advantage.

I can feel my body giving up when they stop. Noo, I forgot. Please not the..."AHHHHH" I bite down on my tongue, 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, no smell of urine and vomit. I kept searching for a corner, as I heard 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 type of rug. Not carpet, but strings of a rug. "N-Nicole?" I try to get a glance of her but my vision is blurry. " Yes, I'm right here y/n/n. Do you know where you are?" "Scarlett's house?" A low sigh of relief is what I hear. "You're back, here's some water." "I can't see yet but can you lift me up?" I tell her, reaching out with my shivering arms. "Of course, Scarlett is here too. She's the one who found you." They lifted up and guided me to the couch, my vision slowly started to come in.

 I see Nicole with the glass of water and Scar's face in worry. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." I take the glass of water. "Do I have to remind you every time? 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 guilty. This is the reality of having a loved one in service and this comes with the package deal." Nicole interrupts, she's been through this millions of times. I just look down to the glass of water, avoiding Scarlett right now. "My throat hurts, did I scream?" I asked. "You did, do you want some tea? It'll help." I nodded to Nicole's offer. "Your usual?" "Please." I'll be right back." 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 relax." With her saying that, I just laid my head on her shoulder. "I've got you." "My body hurts." I whispered. "I'll let Nicole know so she can get you some painkillers. Is that ok?" I nodded.

Nicole eventually comes with my tea, Scarlett continues to tell her where the painkillers are. "If it's tylenol 600 mg, 1 and half will do." I told Nicole, she just nodded. "Let's talk about something else while she gets them. I'll start if you want." "Please." I whisper. "Rose and Cosmo are excited to meet you. I've been talking about you and seeing their reaction. After Elena met them, they were attached to her. 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 your dumbass." Earning the FRIENDS middle finger.

Scarlett's POV:

While Y/N drinks their tea, I continue talking about random things. "What if you join me in Atlanta? I'm filming something for Marvel, the kids could bond more and I could take you to the Aquarium there." They laid down, as I laid their legs on my thighs. "I love to but when? I didn't know that Nicole and Elena moved us to L.A." "How? We sent you letters and emails." Confused by this since their mailing service 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, I'm getting nervous. I see Y/N's smirk. "I love them, I never thought you were into that. From the letters to my now favorite pictures." They lower their voice. "I thought it was too soon but at the time, I felt creative." I explained as I began to ramble. "I can see that, you look soo beautiful and sexy in that set. Don't worry, love. I love them, I have to figure out where to keep them." They said, curled into my chest. I could see Y/N relax, getting sleepy. "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.
