Me Nat and Yelena are at a gas station
Hey you should stay out here and sit down for a second, you have been on your feet all day. Natasha said
You sure. I asked
Yes, I'll get you something out of the store now go sit down, I don't need my boyfriend breaking anything else. She said
Fine. I said and kissed her quickly and then I went to the side of the gas station and sat at a table
Skip
Yelena is sitting in front of me pouring alcohol on her wound and she hissed in pain
Then Natasha came with three beers and she sat next to me
Why aren't you cleaning your cuts? Natasha asked
I'm about to start. I said and lifted my shirt and I grabbed some rubbing alcohol and poured it on the cuts
After I was done I wrapped them up
How did you do that? Yelena asked
I was tortured every day for two years, alcohol doesn't burn anymore. I said and opened my beer
That gas, the counteragent, it was synthesized in secret by an older widow from Melina's generation. I was on a mission to retrieve it, and she exposed me and I killed the widow that freed me. Yelena said
Did you have a choice? Natasha asked
What you experienced was psychological conditioning. I'm talking about chemically altering brain functions. They're two completely different things. You're fully conscious, but you don't know which part is you. I'm still not sure. Yelena said
Believe it or not, I was mind controlled into killing people for two years and two years ago I was being forced to try and kill Natasha, but she broke me out of it. I said
It wasn't that hard. Natasha said and I smiled softly
Then Natasha went and sat next to Yelena and helped her clean the cut
Is that all there is left? Natasha asked
Mm-hmm. Yelena hummed
It's the only thing that can stop Dreykov and his network of widows. Yelena said and looked at Natasha who made the cut sting
That's why I don't let her clean my cuts. I said and drank my beer
He takes more every day. Children who don't have anyone to protect them. Just like us when we were small. Maybe one in 20 survives the training, becomes a widow. The rest, he kills. To him, we are just things. Weapons with no face that he can just throw away. Because there is always more. And no one's even looking for him, thanks to you and Alexei. Yelena said
Alexei? Natasha asked
Dad. Yelena said and Natasha sat back down next to me after she was done
Did you ever look for your parents? Your real ones? Yelena asked
Well, my mom abandoned me in the street like garbage. What about you? Natasha asked
They destroyed my birth certificate, so I reinvented it. My parents still live in ohio. My sister moved out west. Yelena said
Is that right? Natasha asked
You're a science teacher. You're working part time, though, especially after you've had your son. Your husband, he renovates houses. Yelena said and I laughed
Husband, that's cool. I said and Natasha smiled at me
That is not my story. Natasha said
What is your story? Yelena asked
I never let myself be alone long enough to think about it. Natasha said
Did you ever wish for kids? I want a dog. Yelena said
Where you gonna go? Natasha asked
I don't know. I don't really have anywhere to go back to, so I guess anywhere. Yelena said and Natasha sat up
Don't. Yelena said
Don't what? Natasha asked
You're going to give me some big hero speech, I can feel it. Yelena said
Speeches aren't really my thing. Natasha said
Huh. Yelena said
It was more like an invitation. Natasha said
To go to the Red Room and kill Dreykov? Yelena asked
Yeah. Natasha said
Even though the Red room is impossible to find and Dreykov is too slippery to kill? Yelena asked
Yeah. Natasha said
That sounds like a shitload of work. Yelena said
Yup. Natasha said
Yup. Yelena said
I saw where he put the keys. Natasha said talking about a car that was in the garage across the parking lot
Top drawer, green cabinet. Yelena said and they both drank their beers
Wow. I said and drank my beer
Skip
We are in the car and I'm in the back seat
You know, this is the first piece of clothing I've ever bought for myself. Yelena said showing her jacket
That? Natasha asked while driving
Yeah. You don't like it? Yelena asked
Is that like a... Is it army surplus, or...
Okay, it has a lot of pockets. Yelena said and Natasha laughed
But I use them all the time, and I made some of my own modifications. Whatever Yelena said
Oh, yeah? Natasha asked with a laugh
Shut up. The point is, I've never... I've never had control over my own life before, and now I do. I want to do things. Yelena said
Hmm... I like your vest. Natasha said
I knew it. I knew you did. It's so cool, right? Yelena asked
It's good. Yes. I like it. Natasha said
And you can put so much stuff in there. You wouldn't even know. Yelena said and I laughed
I really don't know where the Red room is, though. I'm sorry. Yelena said
I know. But I think I know somebody who does. Natasha said
Oh, yeah? Who? Yelena asked
We're going to need a jet. Natasha said
