"Natasha!" I yelled out with surprise clearly evident on my face. I run across the field, dropping my bag and canvas softly on the ground beforehand.

A bubbly laugh escapes my lips as I make my way directly in front of her, instantly wrapping my arms around her neck in a tight embrace. I bury my head into the croak of her neck, a happy tear falling down my cheek. Her arms are quick to catch me as I almost knock her down, tightening her arms around my waist as if to never to let go.

I never wanted her to.

"What are you doing here!" I exclaimed, pulling away from her with my hands placed on her shoulders with wide excited eyes.

She flickers her eyes behind me, before landing on me again. "I came to surprise you."

My hands go up to her short white hair, "And what did you do to your hair?" I questioned with a beaming smile.

"Changed it, you like it?"

"I love it!" I exclaimed happily.

"I see you changed your hair as well." Natasha laughed, threading my straight her between her fingertips as I nodded my head with a sheepish grin.

I feel Zayn and the twins come up to my right, a happy smile and the crinkle in my eyes never leaving as I motion towards them. "Natasha this is my not so dead twin brother Zayn.." I said, jabbing my thumb in his direction.

"Nice to hear from you again, Natasha." Zayn welcomed with a small smile, his hands on his twins shoulders as they both look up at the jet in amazed eyes.

"Likewise Zayn." Natasha nodded as I look between the two with confused brows knitted together.

"You two know each other?" I questioned, folding my arms across my chest in suspicion

Natasha clears her throat. "Yeah, I was planning on visiting you in a few weeks but something happened awhile back and I've been holding it off but I know you should know." Natasha exclaimed softly, her eyes twitching slightly.

"What is it?" I questioned with worry in my tone, Natasha flickers her eyes to Zayn and then the twins. He smiles with a small nod.

"I'll bring the twins inside, come in and have tea with us Natasha when your both done talking." Zayn says from my right, as I nodded my head. I bend down to the twins and ruffle their heads as they both kiss my cheeks before running off.

When they are out of eye distance, I motion my head towards the bench swing set near the tree to our left. Natasha is silent, making me think this is something bad as we sit ourselves down on the bench. I place the seated pillow onto my lap, turning my body slightly to give Natasha my full attention.

"So what's this thing you've been wanting to say?" I asked straight away when we sat down.

Natasha sighs, nibbling her lip. "It's nothing bad, I'm just still processing it." She stated to clear the air as I nod my head slowly. "A month ago I got a package from an unknown person only to find out it was Yelena." Natasha started, her fingers thumbing with her leathered pants.

My mouth instantly goes dry. "Y-Yelena?" I whispered out, fucking tears brimming at my eyes. "S-she's alive." I choked out with a wide smile.

Natasha nodded her head with a smile, her hand coming up to tuck my now fallen hair behind my ear. "Yeah she is. I located her in Budapest."

"Budapest, hence the pest." I commented her American mistake.

"Not you as well." She laughed, shaking her head. "Budapest hence the pesht."
