Short story - Reunion (Avengers x OC, Black Widow Focused)

Chapter 15

"Oh, nothing much, I just re-trained them, to be successful and powerful again."

"What?! You brainwashed them again?" She asked in pure anger.

"Well, you couldn't save any of them, you were thinking only about yourself, so I took both." The man answered calmly and walked behind her.

"You fucking asshole!" Natasha screamed and broke one chain. Now, with right hand free, she managed to stand a bit higher, able to throw a punch. When she did as she planned to, she realised it's not the man standing anymore, she hit Sofia right at the back of her head.

"What, no, Sof, hey, I'm sorry." Natasha apologised when Sofia turned around with anger in her eyes. Nat didn't want to fight with her. "Sof, it's me, do you remember? I don't want to fight, please listen to me!" She said but her friend was stepping closer with a Black Widow's Baton in her hand. Hey eyes were red.

Suddenly Natasha heard someone calling her. The same voice as in the forest, but she didn't see anyone. Then Sofia attacked, but Natasha managed to dodge. The baton broke the second chain. Nat was stepping back from her, hearing the calling more clearly, it was getting louder. Sofia was getting closer again, Nat didn't have a way to escape, she had to fight even if she didn't want to. Then she heard a very loud call of her name, at the same time Sofia attacked her and she managed to take out the knife from her boot. Right then, just when she was about to block an attack...

...she woke up.

She was pointing a knife at Yelena, who was standing next to her bed with arms in the air. Nat was panting. She was sweating.

"Hey, wow, sestra, it's just me." The blonde said. Natasha blinked a few times, trying to gather herself and come back to reality. She looked around, she was in her room, she looked at her sister, she was safe.

"Shit..." She mumbled. "Sorry Yelena..."

"You okay? What happened? I couldn't wake you up."

"Nothing, just a dream." Nat answered, putting the knife down, under the pillow. "I'm good."

"Mhm, I see."

"What are you doing here?"

"Well, you weren't answering my texts, nobody saw you alive in an hour and a half and nobody wanted to disturb you, except for me, so here I am." Then Nat realised how long she was sleeping, it was already evening. It was a very long day....

"How is Sofia?"

"She's good, she went for a run. I'm good too, thanks for asking." Yelena answered a bit sarcastically. Nat gave her a look but didn't comment.

"Did Tony say anything about the work or mission?"

"No, we'll have to take care of it tomorrow because somehow everyone was busy today."

"Okay, good then, thank you Yel."

"No problem sestra. What are you gonna do now? It's almost night and you slept for a while."

"Ehh, I don't know.. I finally have to talk to Sofia."

"Oh right. Good luck with that. Just don't try to kill her like me."

"Thank you. And no, I won't."

"Good. You can move your ass to the kitchen, dinner will be ready soon." Yelena said and left the room. Natasha followed her with her eyes and after a moment decided to get up. She went to the bathroom, again, to freshen herself a bit before leaving. The redhead then grabbed a cosy hoodie and a pair of fresh sweatpants and went downstairs. On her way to the kitchen she passed Sofia who just came back from a run.
