A Million Reasons - Under Editing

Chapter Two

Molly had angry tears streaming down her face. We were tied up to chairs and she was pacing. James had knifed Max in his arm and Molly had gone for me. My head is pounding from where she hit me.

"Why did you have to do that!" She whined. I was beginning to hate her guts. Her voice was making my headache worse. James grabbed from my hand which was tied behind her back's since we were back to back in the chairs. "You could've killed him!" She snapped and smacked Barnes. I nudged his hand away and fired up my Widows Bite. I lit the rope aflame and burst from the restraints. I knocked her down in a flying tackle and rested my arm roughly on her neck. I heard Max cough and stand up. He looked over at Barnes and Molly clawed my arms, trying to free herself.

Max came up to me and I braved myself for his hit. Instead he snatched Molly's arms and...cuffed her? I must be missing something. Max showed me his S.H.I.E.L.D badge. Oh. Undercover spy. Make more sense. I stand up and quickly free Barnes.

"Fucking Bitch! Traitor!" Molly has quite the mouth for her age. "Max! Widow! Soldier! I will hunt you down and fucking kill you!" She snaps and Max laughs.

"Look Sweetie. I was too old for you anyways. Twenty-Four." He announces and winks at me, earning a low growl from Barnes. I laugh and roll my eyes.

So overprotective. And clingy.

-At the Base-

I sit sipping at some Vodka when one of the agents walks up to me. "Hey Romanoff." He says sheepishly. I nod.

"Agent Drake." I say and tilt my head slightly. "What's up. Oh and please, call me Natasha." I flash a flirty grin and he blushes slightly. His name is Jason Drake, and he is about Twenty-Eightish. Good looking, with sandy blond hair and brown eyes. He is very thin and in shape. He also has a girl friend. Her name is Katie Greene.

"I was wondering if you knew where Katie was? Hm?" I shake my head.

"Last I saw Greene was with you. Oh! Before I forget status report on Molly?"

"Molly...."

"Romanisk. Molly Sabina Romanisk." He nods in understanding and replies almost instantly.

"Romanisk is currently being held in a secure S.H.I.E.L.D facility somewhere in California. She has yet to face a trial, which will be held by Agent Maxwell Kroesing." I nod and he trots off, to find Katie most likely. James pads into the room and takes the Vodka from my hands and sets it onto the table. I starts to protest but he shuts me up with a kiss. I almost instantly melt into it. He picks me up and sets me on his lap.

I break away and smile. I hear a click and narrow my eyes to find Wanda snapping a picture. I roll my eyes and slip down next to James. I send her a mean glare and she runs away laughing and threatening to share it on Instagram or something like that. I lean my head on James chest and sigh. He starts to toy with my hair and my phone rings. Unknown number. I pick up the phone and place it to my ear.

A loud pitch that makes my ear ring plays over the phone. I listen for a minute later, then the pitch increases. I squeeze my eyes shut. Before I can hang up it goes a pitch higher. I let out a scream and throw the phone.
