I snickered, looking at my laptop screen seeing Ross look like a complete dumbass. My phone ringed, quickly picking it up and I answered, "You wanna call Ross or I call him?" I said to Nat and she chuckled, "I'll call, you stay on the line." She said as I nodded, staying quiet.

"Yeah?" He said as I muted myself then putting it on speaker and setting my phone down and looked around the hotel room. "Don't do this." Natasha said as I walked towards my suitcase and pulled out a short black wig. "Do what?" He asked as I rolled my eyes

"Come after me and Larissa." She said as I looked at the phone gape, that bitch. "I mean, you're embarrassing yourself. It looks desperate." She said making me nod as I realize how desperate he was.

"Thought maybe you'd be calling me to cut a deal." He said before continuing, "Maybe even your little sister, Larissa." I glared at the burner phone that sits on the desk. "Cause from my vantage point, it's the federal fugitive who's desperate." He said making me sigh and unmute myself.

"From my vantage point, you look like you could use some bed rest." I snapped at him before he sighed, "What is this, your second triple bypass?" I asked tilting my head sitting down on the hotel bed. "I wouldn't worry about me." He said shaking his head as I laid back.

"We got Barton, we got Wilson and that other guy, the incredible shrinking convict. Rogers is on the run. You two got no friends." He said making me irritated on how annoying he is. "Where you two gonna go?" He asked us as I got up and walked towards the phone.

"We've lived a lot of lives before we met you, Ross." I said smirking as I continued, "You shouldn't have gone to all this trouble. I'm done." Nat said whilst I shookg my head as I heard he end the call.

"Romanoff? Sokolova?" He said making me sigh, "You know I never liked you, Ross? So, Fuck you." I said ending the call and grabbing the chip from inside the phone and wrapped it with toilet paper then flushed it.

I walked to the desk by the television and hear a knock on the door. I turned to look at the door then walked towards it slowly. I swiftly grabbed the gun and placed it in my waistline behind me. I looked through the peephole, "Uborka!" The young woman said in Russian with a cart in front of her. Housekeeping!

I shook my head whilst grabbing my dagger and placed it under my wrist. I opened the door and faked a smile. "Privet." I said nodding towards her and she tried coming in my room. "YA ne zakazyval yedu." I said shaking my head faux confusion on my face as she looked down at the paper. Hello. I didn't order food service.

She shook her head, "No zdes' skazano, chto on idet v komnatu 121." She said as I spot the familiar look in her eye and scoffed internally. "Vse khorosho, zakhodi." I said smiling as she nodding scurrying in with the cart as I clenched my jaw. But it says here that it goes to room 121. It's fine, come in.

I closed the door and locked it, "Mem, vy v poryadke?" The young woman asked not concerned at all. "Znayesh', ya uznayu vdovu, kogda vizhu yeye, potomu chto ya vizhu yeye kazhdyy raz, kogda smotryu v zerkalo." I said slowly turning to the girl at she glared at me and I smirked at her. Ma'am, are you okay? You know, I know a widow when I see one, because I see it every time I look in a mirror.

I stepped closer as she did too, I tilted my head at her and I immediately shot my hand out, throwing the dagger at her at rapid speed. She dodged it and threw herself on me, causing me to fall on the ground with a thud. I quickly pulled my legs up, under her kicking her over me causing her to hit the door.

I flipped up and landed in a crouch position, glaring at the girl. "YA ne khochu ubivat' tebya." I said softly as she shook her head at me and I stood up. She grabbed the dagger from her thigh and she stalked forwards swiping at me as I dodged the swing and then she cut my left arm. I don't want to kill you.

I immediately threw myself at her. I knocked the dagger out of her hand then flipped over her. I quickly kicked behind her knees and she fell on her knees. I quickly wrapped my arm around her and held her in a chokehold.

She flipped back and hit the ground with me on her back, cutting off her air supply. I grunted, looking to the side seeing the discarded dagger and I held my arm out to grab it. I grabbed the dagger and quickly stab at a major artery and rolled away from under her as she gasped for air. "Mne zhal'." I said softly as she looked up at me and I knelt down to her. I'm sorry.

I smiled softly at her, "Bylo priyatno snova uvidet' tebya, Svetlana." I said softly as her breathing stopped and I sighed looking down at the ground. I put my things together inside of my duffle bag and set them them to the side. It was nice to see you again, Svetlana.

I quickly grabbed the blanket from the bed and wrapped her body with it. I placed her in the tub and quickly got my things then left the room. I fixed my wig and walked away from the hotel. I got in my car and quickly drove away.

I quickly bought a ticket to a different country and got through security then got on the plane. Walking down the aisle and sitting down at my seat. I sat in my seat for almost three hours, soon we were landing with light turbulence. They announced that we have landed and walked off with my duffle bag.

My phone began to ring, I look at the screen and spot, unknown number. "Hello?" I said looking around me, "Larissa." I hear a familiar but unfamiliar voice, "Who's this?" I said lowly as the person chuckled. "Wow didn't think you'd forget about me." He said as I frowned at my phone. "HoJin?" I asked as I hear more chuckling.

"Ding, Ding, Ding, correct." He said as I smiled softly at his voice. "Wow, thought you forgot about me." I said looking around the airport and Hojin smiles. "I could never forget the most beautiful woman I've trained with." He said causing me to scoff. "Oh, please." I rolled my eyes and I adjusted my bag from my shoulder.

"How's Hojun?" I asked looking around, "He's sleeping right now." He said as I hear a door close on his side. "Miss that little bastard." I said smiling as he chuckles. "He misses you too, wonders when the great Larissa will visit us Moon brothers." He says dramatically and I laughed.

"Soon, I promise.." I said whilst walking to the side of the building finding Rick, sleeping in the drivers seat. "I gotta go, I'll talk to you later?" I asked him as he hummed agreeing. "Alright bye!" I said quickly before hanging up.

I looked at the car, chuckled and walked up to the drivers window and banged on the window. He woke up looking around frantically, I lifted an eyebrow towards him.

"Wake up, sleepy head." I said walking around the car and opened the door. "Nice to see you too." He said sarcastically as I smiled at him, setting my bag in the back. "Just drop me off twenty miles out from Natasha's and I'll walk the rest." I said looking at him and he gape at me and looks at the road.

"This is why I like Natasha better than you." He said shaking his head as I scoffed, rolling my eyes. "Oh, please." I said as we took off down the road and I looked at him. "What have you been up to?" I asked licking my feet up on the dashboard.

He glared at my feet and looks at me, "Saving Natasha's and your ass from the feds." He said as I chuckled lightly seeing the sun go down. He went down the road beside a mountain. Then turned down a dirty road and stopped. "Here you go." He said gesturing towards the dirt road and I glanced at the road and at him.

"Are you sure?" I asked cautiously as he rolled his eyes, "Yes, Larissa, why would I trick you? You can literally kill me in one million different ways and you paid me." He said shaking his head at me and I laughed whilst getting off and opened the other door. "I was just joking." I said smiling and grabbing my bag then shutting the door.

"Yeah, I definitely like Natasha better." He said making me snicker as I waved at him. "Bye, bye, see you later." I said walking backwards then turning around walking down the dirt road. I adjusted my bag on my shoulder and huffed.

"I love walking, walking is the best." I muttered to myself as I saw a really ugly trailer from a far with lights on. "That's one ugly ass trailer." I muttered to myself as the lights went out suddenly and I quickly and silently opened the car door and placed my bag in the back seat.

I quickly sneaked around the trailer and peaked out of the side, seeing Natasha struggle. I snickered quietly into my hand and she shook both gasoline canisters as they both are empty. She picked up a small yellow one and she turned to walk away. I quickly ran up behind her scaring her, "BOO!" I screamed loudly as she shouted hitting me with the canister.

Feeling it hit me across my face as I fell to the ground holding my face as I laugh loudly. "LARISSA!" She shouted annoyed as I got up from the ground. "Why?" She asked placing her hand against her forehead.

I smiled, "Um, because it's sisterly love." I said shrugging as she rolled her eyes, turning around. "You know you're not really my sister." She said as my smile faltered as her comment hit home and I smiled at her. "Can I come?" I asked gesturing towards the car.

"Sure." She said shrugging as she opened the door and placed the gasoline canister on the seat and I climbed in the passenger seat. I pulled on my belt and looked at Natasha as she turned the car on and Cheap Thrills by Sia played throughout the car.

She put the car in drive and we went down the dirt road and went on the familiar road. "So...have you talked to Steve?" I asked her carefully as I looked at her and she sighed, shaking her head. "Nope, nothing." She said as I nodded, "Has he spoke to you or at least....James or that dude HoJin?" She wondered as I smiled.

"Nat, you know what happened between James and I is nothing." I said looking at her as she chuckled. "But what about Hojin?" She wondered causing me to look away from her, "You just never told me what happened between you guys." She said shaking her head as I sighed, looking at her. "Just had a small fling and we got discovered." I said shrugging and leaning back into my seat.

"Oh...I heard about that...I thought it was just a rumor." Natasha muttered as I nodded as she look both ways and turned left then I saw a red flash out of the corner of my eye. "Nat-!" I shouted but was cut off by a explosion that hit our car sending us to the side.

The car flipped until it hit something else and ended up on the edge of the bridge. I blinked awake and breathed in sharply then groaned. "Ris, are you okay?" Nat said frantically, panting as she checked over me as I nodded. I hear footsteps and I looked at Nat wide eyed.

I quickly unbuckled myself and held onto the seat whilst Nat hit the wheel causing the car to tilt forward. I grunted as the gasoline canister hit my head then fell into the river. "Nat, come on." I said panting as I grabbed her arm and pulled us to the backseat.

I quickly opened my duffle bag, "I'm pretty sure Ross has no jurisdiction here!" Nat shouted as I grabbed my gun from inside the duffle bag. "I don't think this is Ross' doing, Tasha." I muttered as I glared at the person who has body coverage and mask walking towards us.

I quickly moved forward looking through the broken window, "And you should know I'm a better shot when I'm pissed off." I growled as we shot at them and they lifted up a shield almost similar to Steves shield. I discarded my empty gun and moved to get out but they threw the shield lodging it right in the window.

Nat covered me and held me close as I gape at the shield. "Move!" I shouted as we jumped out of the car and landed swiftly. I gasp not seeing the person there and not hearing the car go in the water. "Nat, behind!" I shouted as the person flipped over us holding the shield infront of them whilst Nat shot at them.

They kicked the gun out of Nat's hand, tried to hit Nat with the shield but I kicked them away. I did the "Black Widow" move on them and I got to my feet and they immediately did it back and landed roughly on the floor. I looked at them in shock as Nat stood by me.

I flipped up and crouched as they did the same exact move. We're face to face and I spot red lines move across their eyesight. I tilted my head at them, "Who are you?" I muttered as they looked away from us and I quickly got up standing beside Nat.

I frowned as they walked away from us, "You're not here for us." Nat muttered as I nodded as I grabbed my dagger and Nat attacked first. I payed attention to their every move and on how they moved around and attacked. Then they swiftly threw Nat down with their knee on her hand.

They punched her abdomen and Nat flew back, "What the actual fuck." I muttered stepping forward as they snapped their head towards me. I quickly jumped up kicking the side of their face causing them to stumble.

I landed on my feet and they did the same as I hit the ground with a thud. I groaned as Nat ran by me towards the person. I huffed taking out a grabbling hook, shooting it around their legs then shooting another one at a different direction.

I smirked letting go of it as they got dragged and I quickly help Nat and placed the vials in her pocket. They cut the line and swing back to us. I spot a sword in their hand and they came down on us and I kicked Nat out of the way.

I quickly moved to the side trying not to die, I quickly grabbed their discarded shield and blocked every hit that was targeted towards me. I grunted getting kicked to the side as Nat fights with them. I spot them take the small case and see the familiar move.

"No!" I shouted running in front of Nat and getting kicked hitting Nat and the car. We hit the water and I blinked in the water as we swam away from them, knowing that we have what they want.
