Black Widow (H.S Fanfiction)

Chapter 1

   I finish packing and click 'confirm' for my ticket to Los Angeles. This would be my second time to California. I went once when I was really young, we went to Disneyland. By we, I mean me and my parents. I don't remember as much as I would like to but I know it was a good trip.

Shutting my laptop and packing up it up. I grab a taxi and head off to the airport. My phone rings. I grab it looking at the caller I.D, "Blocked". I answer, "This is the 10th time you have called my god what do you want?", I say very annoyed.

"Glad to here from you too, Estella.", a womans voice comes across the other end. Nikki. I jump in excitement. "NIKKI!", I shout through the phone, Nikki was my first friend when I first got on base, next to Jeremy of course, but I couldn't hang out with Jeremy all that much as he would say, he was "a very busy man". He was more like an annoying bird that hovered. Nikki on the other hand was training with me and then they discovered how great she was at hacking and faking death certificates. I shiver. She was stationed in Japan for the last 2 years for a "top secret mission".

"Are you back?!", I say, still shouting through the phone, causing irritated glares from the driver.

"I am, for now, I am here to assist you through your new identity, I'm aware we usually do this face to face but under such short circumstances I was asked to do this over the phone. Though I really wanna see you and hug you because it's been too long but I will take what we can get.", she says with sadness in her voice.

I sigh, "Well after this, I'm out so there will more time for hugs."

"I heard that you were finally free, I'm excited for you, I saddened by what has to be done. How are you taking it?", Nikki asks. She has been like my second rock. When I found out that she was leaving for at least a year with no contact from anyone I was truly devastated and then when she was expected to come back they extended it and I was torn once again. She is my best friend and I wish I had her long talks and laughs after every mission. After a short pause, I finally answer her question, "I'm dealing with it. Just trying to keep my eyes on the prize.", I give a small smile but nobody to see it.

"I know, so who do you wanna be? touchdown? Trashcan? Bleach? Ashtray?", I burst out in laughter. "None of those!", I reply. "How about El?"

"B-but... that's really close to your name, what if he writes about you or talk about you with anyone, when he disappears-", I cut her off.

"Nikki babe, this is my last mission. It's a nickname. I will pick a different last name. It will be fine. Even if suspicion rises, I'll be able to cover it up.", I quiet my voice, "with 500 million dollars."

Nikki half chuckles on the phone, I can imagine her shaking her small blonde head at me right now, "Alright, El it is then.... El....Brookes?"

"I like it. I sound like someone who would write for the New York Times. Hey! Maybe that can be my fake career. I can fake it.", I say.

"No can do. Already placed you an application for being a house sitter/maid for the rich Harry Styles."

"Bummer."

We going through a few more guidelines. Rules that stay the same thing everytime, and sadly I have done this more than once.

1. Don't talk too much about your fake past. You get caught up in lies.

2. Don't talk about your actual past. You are left vulnerable.

3. Don't tell what you are doing. You are your new identity. Don't forget it and step out of it until the deed is completed.

4. Don't sleep with them. Too many risks.

5. If for any reason you have to end the mission earlier then expected. Contact your supervisor and clean up the mess.
