Black Widow's Daughter

Chapter 5

Out of every teacher in the school I was stuck with Agent Dunn. She is rude, annoying, loud, intimidating, cruel and most of all a grade A pain in the butt. Nathaniel told me all about her from when he had her in year three. From what he told me she only gave out C's and gave students a detention for talking. She had to be the worst teacher in the whole school. She had come in, called the role and then given us all a maths revision worksheet to do. It was almost like she wanted us to hate her.

I was up to the third question when I heard banging at the door. Most people turned to look at whoever was at the door but I continued to do my worksheet. How many weeks were in a year again? Is it 48 or 49? With my luck it probably wasn't either of them. The knocking continued and Agent Dunn just sat at her desk rummaging through paperwork and worksheets.

"Whoever is beside the door go get it." Agent Dunn looked up and shot me a stern look. Like I was going to answer the door. Other students turned to look at me wondering if I was ever going to stand up and answer it. It's not my job to let people in. I was the only one in the back row which automatically made me the closest. We had nineteen people in my class and four rows of six desks. So I comfortably sat at the back while everyone else found seats at the front. Who wants to be close to Agent Dunn anyway?

"Miss Romanoff are you going to get it." Now Agent Dunn sounded like she was eighty years old. What young person would call me Miss Romanoff? I could tell she was young though. No wrinkles or grey hair normally meant that she was in her forties.

"Miss Romanoff," she yelled across the room. I looked up with a blank expression and saw everyone staring at me. Is it that hard to accept the fact that I'm not going to answer the door. No need to yell at me and make me become the centre of attention, I don't like attention.

"If you want the door answered so badly do it yourself." I may have been a bit too sassy but Agent Dunn deserved it. No teacher let alone agent could possibly be that lazy. All she had to do was get off her toosh and answer the door. That's what most teachers do.

"Excuse me Miss Romanoff."

"You heard me correctly. I am not answering that door, it's not my job, but it is my job to do my work and that is what I'm doing!" I slammed my hands against the desk causing a book to slide off the edge. It felt to the floor with a thud but it didn't worry me. I had just schooled the teacher, how cliche. Other students watched in awe and others watched in fear as Agent Dunn stomped past them and stood in front of my desk. My eyes looked as far up as possible and I smirked at her. If this were a cartoon, Agent Dunn would have smoke coming out her ears and a bull rings round her nose. It did look as though she was about to charge right into my desk.

"You will be joining me for detention Miss Romanoff. Meet me back here after the last school bell." She sounded dead serious but that wouldn't stop me from saying what's on my mind. Agent Dunn was about to hear what I thought of her.

"What makes you think I'll be there Agent Dung," I snapped at the teacher before continuing. "Maybe I might just leave you so you can ruin others kids lives rather than my own." My smirk faded and I looked back down at my worksheet.

"If I hear one more word out of you, I am sending you to the principals office." Now that sounded interesting. I stood up, grabbed my things, tipped them into my bag and swung it over my shoulder. I saluted to the class and left the room. That was actually a fun class. I smiled before turning to head to the principals office. I knew the principal well and there is no way that she would ever suspend me or anything. She loves me.

I took a few steps forwards and then felt something grab hold of my arm. I looked down and saw what looked like human hands but they were green. That led my eyes towards the girl that had grabbed me. She looked liked an alien. Her skin was green and her hair was mostly brown with dark pink balayage. She was wearing a sleeveless black, leather jumpsuit with blue v patterns along the side. The girl was also wearing knee high black boots, long fingerless leather gloves and what appeared to be a utility belt with a dagger pocket. She looked so cool.

Then she pulled on my arm and covered my mouth with her hand before I could speak. She pulled me along until she found a sign that read girls bathroom. We both walked in and thankfully there was no one around. She uncovered my mouth and let go of my forearm, leaving the leather all crinkled.

"What was the meaning of this?" She may have looked cool but kidnapping someone is not cool. I shook my bag off my back and placed it on the ground beside a wall before sitting up on the sink. I jumped up and started to swing my legs back and forth, kicking the wall for fun.

"I have no idea where I am. My parents are on a mission and I have been left here on earth. I was banging on the door but some stubborn girl wouldn't answer the door." She spoke through gritted teeth and she clenched her fist. I was afraid to tell her that I was that stubborn girl who wouldn't let her in. She did have a dagger pocket, she could kill me.

"Well my name is Scarlet Romanoff. Who are you?" She made it sound like she was from space. Maybe she was an alien. Not many people say that they have been left on earth unless they live on another planet.

"Sienna Quill," she pulled an orb out of her belt and threw it on the ground. It cracked but also projected a screen up in between us. "This is my home. I live on board The Milano with my parents and their friends. One my Dad discovered this school he was keen to drop me here so they could continue on their missions without having to watch out for me." Sienna swiped her fingers along behind the screen making the pictures change. The one that she was showing now was a picture of herself with a lady that looked just like her. They even dressed the same. Sienna swiped again, changing the picture to one of her with a man that must of been her Dad. He looked nothing like her. The only thing they had in common was the fact that they were both holding little pots with a stick in them. I had no idea what that was all about.

"Cool. I like your style. Maybe we should hang out some time." I jumped down from the bench and started to head for the door. Before I could pick up my bag I felt a hand pull me back. Sienna picked up the orb and pressed it together in her hands. It magically sealed back together like normal and she tucked it back inside her belt.

"Can I stay with you. People judge me because I am not like them and it would be nice to have a friend that shares an interest in leather." Sienna straightened her belt and looked up at me. She seemed okay and there are stranger kids than her around, they just don't know it yet. Soon every mutant will have develop abilities and be the weird ones around. Some of them already had strange birthmarks and coloured skin. Sienna did seem nice and I do need friends.

"Sure Sienna. You can come with me to visit the principal." I picked my bag up and we both left the toilets. The hallway was still empty except for the few chairs but that was normal. Now I had one more friend which made two friends in total. The Maximoff's could always talk to me again which would bring me up to four. That would be good. But for now I am going to stick to hanging with Nathaniel and Sienna. They are definitely two people that I can handle. Well that's what I thought until someone scared Sienna.

"Please don't hurt me!" The kid yelled as he tried to gulp down his fear. Sienna had him up against a wall with her dagger up against his throat. All the kid had done was run past her and Sienna had gotten a shock. Now he was under the impression that someone was going to kill him. Sienna lowered her right arm which was the one that she held her dagger tightly in. The boy sighed and fell to the ground. I think he fainted. Oh well, he could stay there. Sienna and I continued to walk down the hall. The principals office was only a few doors down.

"Your an assassin." I continued to walk and look straight ahead. If Sienna was an assassin then I wasn't alone. My Mom wouldn't be the only living weapon alive. Except Sienna seems to be trained and I'm not.

"My mother is a trained assassin. She believes that I needed to learn some skills before coming to earth." That is just what I wanted to hear.

"I never thought there would be someone like me." I only spoke quietly but loud enough that Sienna could hear. I pushed the door to the principals office open and we both forwarded in. I watched as the principal stood up and looked down at the two of us. She didn't look real happy. We were in for a lot of trouble.
