"Natalia."

"Well, I'll leave you two to chat." Kaylna nodded to her guards who swapped Sasacha's side for the princess's.

"Thank you, Princess."

"Agent Romanoff." On that note, the princess and her guards left the two assassins facing each other. 

Natasha was looking at Sascha the way one might look at a guilty child. 

"Natalia Romanova," Sascha remarked, mostly just to break the silence and tension in the room that had suddenly sky-rocketed. 

"Sascha Shostakov," Natasha retorted.

"Сестра." 

Natasha smirked.  "Sis."

"You seem pretty close with the royalty," 

Natasha merely shrugged.  "We met at the Accords signing."

"Heard that didn't go very well."

"It was complicated, to say the least."

"Hmm.  I also hear you're a bit of a criminal now."

Again, Natasha shrugged, not seeming too concerned by this accusation. "Depends on who you ask. But then  again, I guess that makes two of us."

"I guess  so."

"Where's Yelena?" asked Natasha after another brief silence, both spies trying to read the other.

"What about her?" Speaking of Yelena, she was being very quiet on the other end of the radio line, most likely trying to assess the situation from where she was, only able to hear all that was going on. 

"I know that wherever you are, she's close by, and vice-versa." Now Natasha smirked. "You know, it makes me happy you two stuck together all this time."

"Yes. Unlike you, who left."

"I did what I had to. What was right for me at the time."

Now it was Sascha's turn to shrug.  "If you say so."

"So, where is our third Widow friend?"

"She's not here."

"But she's not far."

"Fair enough, though not that I would tell you."

"I'm sorry, which of us just got caught?"

"Or which of us is about to be?" Sascha sent a zap from her sting wristguard; Natasha was quick to dodge it though.  She went crashing to the floor, arming herself by withdrawing her gun in case Sascha tried another attack.  This gave Sascha time to flee out the window. 

"Yel, if you're still there, the mission is compromised. You know what that means." Knowing Yelena, she was already onto their Escape Plan. 

"Damn." Natasha was getting to her feet when Kalyna and her guards burst back into the room.
