2009

Somewhere in Iran

Kai stood on the passenger side of the SUV, blowing a piece of bubblegum as she waited for Natasha to come out with the engineer they were supposed to escort.

It was hot. Extremely hot under the beating sun, so hot that if Natasha didn't come out in the next five minutes, Kai was going to get the man and teleport him to the destination herself.

Clearly, the Gods were listening because not even a minute later Natasha walked out with the man behind her, his head down as he got into the back seat of the black SUV.

Nodding at Natasha she climbed into the car as well turn on the ac as soon as Natasha had started the car. The redhead gave her a look as she pulled out of park and took off down the dirt road.

" What?, " Kai asked looking at her, " It's hotter than hell out there. I'm sweating balls and I can't afford that honey!"

Nat rolled her eyes at her partner then looked in the rearview mirror at the other passenger before looking back to the road.

Kai put her boot-clad feet up on the dash only for Natasha to look over at her and shake her head.

" Monroe get your feet off the dash."

Kai rolled her eyes and with a huff removed her feet from the dashboard.

" You know Romanoff one of these days you're going to do the exact same thing I did and someone will tell you to "get your feet off the dash". And I hope I'm there so I can laugh at you and high five whoever made you do it."

Natasha just shook her head again while Kai continued to look out the window occasionally blowing a large bubble and expanding it until it popped.

" Kai."

The female turned at the mention of her name her bubble mid enlargement to the driver.

" Natasha," Kai replied to the redhead.

" Stop blowing bubbles or I'll stab you then take your gum stash. If you don't want that to happen I highly suggest you stop blowing bubbles." Natasha stated not looking away from the road in an even tone causing Kai to laugh.

" Aren't you just a ray of sunshine today Romanoff. What is it? New suit? Or is it the joy of no longer being in the presence of Stark?"

Natasha rolled her eyes at Kai before turning to her, " Neither. It's the fact that after this we get to go home only for you and Barton to go on another mission alone together. I get a "vacation" from you two."

Kai let out a gasp and her hand flew to her chest in offense, " Natalia Alianovna Romanova! I'm hurt! How could you say that about me? I mean I understand Barton, but ME!? "

Natasha rolled her eyes again and focused on the road, the two settling into silence while the engineer in the backseat looked confused at the two women.
