something like blood | natasha romanoff

chapter 7

i woke up with sweat trickling down my face, breathing heavily trying to catch my breath. great another nightmare. i cant get rid of them it's like they haunt me.

except this time it was a different nightmare.

crawling through the vents of the avengers compound is not what i need right now. although i could argue that i would much rather be here than in a lab screaming with purple travelling through my veins.

the cold metal was harsh on my skin, and as the vents weren't really meant for humans to be crawling through, i felt a bit claustrophobic.

my hand accidentally hit a loose screw, which unluckily for me, led to the whole damper collapsing and falling on the floor beneath. i heard guns being loaded and felt them all pointing at me.

"come down, we know you're there" a voice said. i didn't dare move, knowing i'd blow my cover even more than i already have. instead i stopped breathing, and used my telekinesis to tip over a shelf. it diverted all their attention to that so i quickly climbed over the hole in the vent and continued my course.

i got to the end of the vent and climbed out. there was no one in the room luckily and with that i quickly locked the door. i was in a pretty big lab, with lots and lots of paper and technology everywhere. i bent over the desk to look for the keyboard, before pulling it out from under the monitor as i began researching.

i found what i needed and got a copy of it on a USB, and i was currently looking for the piece of paper that had the information on it.

i was scurrying through sheets as i stumbled across one that was titled "natasha romanoff, natalia alianovna romanova"the name sounded familiar but i couldn't put my tongue in it.

as i was thinking, i spotted the sheet of paper i needed and picked it up. i heard footsteps coming and someone trying to open the door. i was so glad i locked it.

i quickly looked for an escape but the only one visible was the door. there was nowhere to go, no windows, no door, nothing. and for the first time in my life, i stood there completely helpless. i accepted the fact that when i got back to hydra i'd probably be killed. i had failed.

the months i spent in preparation for this mission just to fail it cause i couldn't find an escape.

the door busted open and in came 4 people armed with guns and weapons. one of them was a normal looking man, until he held his arm out and a metal suit came flying at him? one of them was in a red corset and leather pants with a matching red cape with red energy balls in her hands. the one to the right of her had a metal arm which i thought was pretty cool, and the last one was in a plain black suit holding a gun. her hair looked like mine but darker. it reminded me of something but i couldn't place it.

"take off the mask" the tin guy said. i refused to take it off, worried it would ruin my cover. the one at the back walked towards me and took my mask off, with a smirk on her face. i just stood there, not knowing what to do.

something in me hit, and i immediately swung at her. i knew i was outnumbered, but that's never stopped me before.

i knocked the gun out her hands, watching as it flew to the other side of the room. she took this opportunity to punch me in the jaw and i mentally cursed myself for that. i quickly dodged another punch coming from her, doing the i famous black widow pose we got taught in the red room and swiping her legs. i could've sworn for a second the redhead looked scared, but then she blacked out.

with one flick of my hand the tin man was out, which just left us with witch vs witch. i threw a gust of energy at her, which she easily blocked and returned, flying straight back at me. i didn't have enough time to react and i flew to the floor with a hard bang. damn she's good.

nether the less, i got up and continued throwing energy balls at her until i tactically threw a chair to the back of her head, knocking her out.

i grabbed the documents and walked out the room like nothing happened. to the left of me was a large window, to which i broke and flew out.

i swear these dreams are getting more realistic by the day. they're turning from dreams into memories, but i don't remember any of them.

i held my necklace, wanting to feel some comfort before lying on my bed for the remainder hours of the morning as the day began.
