THE OTHER ROMANOFF → AVENGERS [COMPLETED]

[3] Back to 'Base'

Chapter 3 Back to 'Base'

I slumped in one of the seats on the shuttle and ran my hands through my hair and licked my lips.

"Agent Romanoff. Are you alright? an Agent asked me.

"Yeah. I'm fine. It's been a long year." I say and rub my eyes.

The man nodded and walked away. I headed into the bathroom and pulled on my old outfit and tied my hair into a braid and put my leather jacket and boots back on. I walked out and sat back down just as I saw Natasha and Dr. Banner come in. Baner gave me a glare and went to sit down somewhere as far away as possible from me. Really? I do not need every single person who shall be involved in this operation hating me. How am I ever going to manage?

"Good job Tasha. You always do what I can't." I smile at my sister.

"You're usually good at it. What happened today?" Natasha asks concerned.

"I met someone I wish I hadn't." I say shaking my head, "And I saw Agent Barton."

"You saw Clint? How was he?" Natasha asked. I could detect the worry and concern in her voice. I'm sure she wasn't this concerned when I got captured.

"Alive." I laughed, "But otherwise not well. He looked right through me as if I wasn't there and pushed me aside.  But even if he was really himself, then I don't think our encounter would have been much different quite frankly." I shrugged.

"I don't understand why you two don't get along." Natasha shook her head.

"You're not all that different. I mean you're both amazing archers and sometimes awfully stubborn." Natasha pointed out.

"Okay. I get it. I don't understand it either. Sometimes these things just happen though Tash. And we all have to deal with it." I say, "I don't get along very well with many other Agents. You know that."

"Then again you get along with a lot of others. Calm down Anya. You'll be fine with the rest of the team." Natasha patted my shoulder and went to the driver.

I sat back and closed my eyes.

The next thing I knew, Natasha was shaking me awake, "Anya. We're here. Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D."

I rubbed my eyes and sat up before following Natasha out of the jet, "This is the new S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

Natasha nodded.

"It's awesome. And new and different." I looked at her, "What ever hapened to the old S.H.I.E.L.D?"

"Long story short. It sort of got blown up from the inside." Natasha shrugged, "Anyways. I need to talk to the two newbies. Well sort of newbies. Coming?"

I nodded, "I've got nothing else to do anyways. Oh and please tell me Tony Stark is not going to be part of this weird operation we are doing."
