Love is Death

Part 24: Melina

Our helicopter fell out the sky on our way to St Petersburg

When we got out of the helicopter I had my helmet off but my mask was still on and I'm carrying both my

You should have brought the avengers super jet. Alexei said and I walked over to Natasha and she looked at me

I'm gonna kill him. I said

Just try not to for the next few hours then after that he's all yours. Natasha said

You are giving me flashbacks from you wearing that suit. Natasha said as we walked

Your friend brought the suit. I said

Then Yelena walked up to us

I swear, if I hear one more word from him, I will kick him in the face. Yelena said

He's the worst. Natasha said softly

Natasha. Natasha. Natasha. Come here, I want to ask you something. Come, it's important. Alexei said

Natasha stopped walking and started walking with him

Can you breath in that mask? Yelena asked

Yes. I said

Do you really like Natasha? She asked

Yeah, I do, why? I asked

No reason. She said

I should let you two deal with him. I said and I walked away

Skip

We were walking up to a fence and I saw a woman behind it she was holding a sniper

I still had my mask on

Honey, we're home. Alexei said and she moved from behind the fence and we followed her to a house

And we walked in the front door

Welcome to my humble abode. And make yourself at home. Let's have a drink. Melina said

I went to the living room and looked out the window with my arms crossed

Anthony. I heard Natasha's voice behind me

I turned around

She walked closer and put her hands on my face then she unclipped my mask and pulled it off

Don't go all killer on me. She said and gave me the mask

Okay. I said and she pulled me into the dining room and I saw Yelena and Melina

So, you must be the other super soldier. Melina said and I just sat next to Natasha and crossed my arms

Not very talkative, okay. Melina said

He's just had a rough few years. Natasha said

We are sitting at the table except Alexei he is in the bathroom

Let's drink. Melina said and poured us some drinks

Then Alexei came out the bathroom in a tight red suit that had a star on it

Still fits. He said and Melina whistled

Oh, my god. Yelena said

I never washed it once. Come and drink. Melina said and he walked over and when he sat down he sang a song

That's gross. I said

Family back together again. Alexei said

Mmm. Seeing as our family construct was just a calculated ruse that only lasted three years, I don't think that we can use this term anymore, can we? Melina said

Agreed. So, here's what's gonna happen...

Okay. A reunion then, huh? Alexei said interrupting Nat

And, uh... I want to say something right off the bat. Alexei said

You haven't aged a day, huh? You are just as beautiful and as supple as the day they staged our marriage. Alexei said

Me, Nat and Yelena we all downed our drinks

You got fat. But still good. Melina said

I'm about to throw up. I said

I just got out of prison. I, uh... I have a lot of energy. He said

Oh. Melina said

Please don't do that. Nat said and I ran a hand through my hair

So, here's what's gonna happen. Nat said

Natasha, don't slouch. Melina said

I'm not slouching. Nat said

Yes, yes, you are. Melina said

I don't slouch. Nat said

You're going to get a back hunch. Melina said

Listen to your mother. Alexei said and I grabbed the bottle of liquor and poured more in my cup

Oh, my god, this...

Up, up. Alexei said interrupting nat

All right, enough. All of you. Nat said

We didn't say anything. That's not fair. Yelena said and I downed my drink

Here's what's gonna happen...

I don't want any food. Yelena said to Melina interrupting nat

Eat a little something, Yelena, for god's sake. Melina said and Yelena drank her drink

You're going to tell us the location of the red room. Nat said

You know, it's like when you told them that they could stay up late to catch Santa Claus. Melina said

What? That was fun. You know. Alexei said and after that I stopped listening

Finding Dreykov is not a fantasy. It's unfinished business. Nat said

You can't defeat a man who commands the very will of others. Melina said

You never saw the culmination of what we started in america. Nor did you. Melina said and got up going to get something

Natasha, always focus, focus. Get what you want. Alexei said then Melina came back

I stopped listening when a pig opened the door and walked in

I kept my eyes down and when I looked up Yelena was gone and so was Alexei

I'm gonna go get some air. I said and got up and went outside to get some air
