I continued to swim beside Nat then was able to stand then walked through the water, panting. "Who the fuck was that?" I asked Nat as she shrugged and I looked back at the bridge spotting the car. I laid down beside her catching my breath.

I shook my head and brushed my wet hair out of my face. She takes out the vials from the pocket I snuck them in. "Let's see." I said grunted whilst sitting up, looking at the vials as I spotted some paper in the middle of it. "What..." I mumbled as Nat took out the paper and turned it as the red light glowed from the vials on our faces.

I gasped, spotting the pictures of three little girls laughing as I teared up. "Yelena?" I asked as a little girl with blonde popped in my head, whilst looking at Nat as I sniffed. We both glanced at each other, "Budapest." We said simultaneously as we walked through the trees.

I wring my hair out from the water and Nat kept the vials in her pocket. We walked down the street then took a cab, "Til togstasjonen, vær så snill." I asked smiling at the man as he nodded towards me and turned some streets and then pulled up to the train station. To the train station, please.

I payed the man, the money and we took off into the train. We stayed on course, focused on two things, Yelena and what these vial are. We quickly paid for tickets and sat down. "So we got our asses kicked." I said looking at her as Nat braided her hair.

"That was fun." Nat said sarcastically as I nodded looking down at my hands. "What do you think Lena was doing with the vials?" I asked looking at her as she sighed shaking her head as she looked down at the ripped strip of paper. "Can I braid your hair?" She asked looking at my messy hair and I nodded.

I grabbed the picture softly and smiled down at them pictures as she braids my hair and ties it up. "You know, I always wondered what would happen to us if SHIELD had gotten us that day." I said softly, looking at Nat as she exhaled. "Yeah." She said as we fell into silence.

A couple hours later, we were finally in Budapest. The train stopped and I followed behind Nat. We walked out as I glanced behind us seeing if any suspicious activity or person. And we walked with the crowd and walked down the street to a familiar apartment complex.

"Right here." I muttered opening the familiar door and walked through with Nat beside me. I spotted a woman sweeping on the second floor, I checked every corner for any surprise attack but nothing. Some birds flew up as we walked by them and walked into the elevator. I glanced at Nat and she nodded.

We made it to the 5th floor and got out as soon as the doors opened. Nat knelt down opening the two small doors and grabbed the guns that we had stashed there. I placed it in my waistline and put my shirt over it. I nodded towards Nat, we walked towards the doors.

Nat picked at the lock, "I know you two are out there." I hear a woman's accented voice making me breathed in sharply. Nat got it unlocked, "I know you know we're out here." Nat said back whilst I grabbed my gun from my waistline as she opened the door and we stepped in.

I put up my gun and Nat stepped in first whilst I shut the door with my foot. It shut with a slam, I pointed my gun to the side as Nat did the same. "Then why are you two skulking about like it's a minefield?" Yelena said making me smirk as I turned seeing nobody as we continued down the room.

"'Cause we don't know if we can trust you." Nat said towards her and I looked to the side seeing the door open with our whole armory in it. Gun She chuckled, "Funny, I was going to say the same thing." She said as we made it down the hall and Nat checked the room behind us and I did to the kitchen.

"So, we gonna talk like grown-ups?" I asked loudly as Yelena appeared in front of me and I smirked at her. "Is that what we are?" She asked me as I cocked my head tapping Nat with my heel. We stood side by side against Yelena.

I moved forward as she moved back, guns still pointed at each other. We kept going, "Put it down before I make you." Yelena warned making me scoff, as we kept walking as I stocked her. "You put yours down, little sister." I said as she bumped into the door and I smirked.

"Watch your step." Nat comments as we kept walking, slowly but steadily. We made it to the kitchen as I tapped my gun with my finger twice and Nat stayed back a bit. We stopped, pointing the guns at each other, silence dancing around us.

The air around us grew tense, I narrowed my eyes at her as we quickly grabbed each other's gun and kept them pointed at each other. I grabbed her hand with the gun and kicked it as she did the same. She grabbed my arm and moved under it, moving behind me and slamming me against the wall.

She then slammed me against the door, I growled as I grabbed her throat and her shoulder, I quickly pushed her back and threw her up towards the cabinet, my hand still secured on her throat. She shouted in pain, she tried to shove me away as I grabbed her cheeks then pushed her down.

"Stay down. Stay down." I snarled down at her as she groaned in anger, "Stay down." I snarled as she squirmed under my hold, then she yells in anger. Grabbing a plate from the sink and smashing it against my head. I hear Nat chuckle at us, as I stumbled back but regained myself.

She tries to hit me with the dish towel and I catch her hand. I expertly swung her around and wrapped the dish towel around her neck, causing her to gasp for air. I stumbled back and she kicked off the counter and tried to send me across the room but I rolled then kicked her over me.

I shouted as I sent her towards the door breaking the glass and she hit the ground. I got up, glaring at her, "Stop it, you two." Nat warned as my anger grew at Yelena, panting, glaring at each other. "Grebanaya suka." I cursed whilst clenching my teeth. Yelena slowly got up and I quickly turned around looking around for something sharp, then spotting the kitchen knife. Fucking bitch.

I walked towards it then picked it up and stalked towards her as she shuffled back. She turned to spot a large stapler on the desk and grabbed it as we glared at each other. "Girls.." We hear Nat but choose to ignore her.

I swung at her twice, nipping at her cheek making her shout. I go to stab at her and she tries to hit me with the stapler then we grabbed each other's forearm. We struggle against each other as she grabbed the knife from my hand and I grab the stapler.

She tried to cut me but I locked our arms together and we stare at each other for a couple seconds then she slams me to the ground and I shouted, kicking her leg. Causing her to fall on her knee, I quickly get up and she swiped at me and I hit the knife out of her hand.

We go for each other's throat and I pushed her head back with my arm wrapped around the back of her neck as she grabbed my braid yanking it back. We did that until we pulled away from each other and I yelled in anger, slamming her down on a small table, breaking it.

I threw the stapler away not needing it anymore then walked forward as she ran towards me, slamming me against the wall. I grunted, quickly grabbing the curtain and kicking away from the wall as she still hand her arms around my waist slamming me once again against the wall.

I shouted in pain and wrapped the curtain around her throat and secured it. I took my chance to kick off of her knee and flipped over her. She soon wrapped it around my neck and I roughly pulled at the material around her throat and threw her over my shoulder.

She landed on the ground with a loud thud as she pulled me down as I too hit the ground. I grunted as I tightened my hold around her throat and quickly pushed my foot against her abdomen as she did the same. "Yelena, Larissa, stop it." Nat said having enough of our little show.

We glared at each other as Yelena grew more red as I looked at her wide eyed, "Peremiriye." I said loudly quickly letting go of her. As she pushed away from me, quickly getting the curtain off from around her neck. Truce.

She gasped for air as I sat up unwrapping the curtain from my neck, looking down at her smiling. "Vau, ty vyros." I said nodding towards her whilst panting. Herself still panting as she looked at me then looked away whilst taking off the curtain, "Net der'ma." She said. Wow, you've grown. No shit (it's not net der'ma but if someone speaks Russian and can help me out with the translations, I'll be soooo grateful bc I'm working with google translate :-/ )

She got up from the ground as I also got up while Nat looked at her. "Is that all? I mean you had to come to Budapest, didn't you?" Nat said walking behind Yelena as she walked into the kitchen. Yelena grabbed three shot glasses and turned around, "I came here because I thought you two wouldn't." She said setting the glasses down.

I scoffed shaking my head, as she opened the vodka, "But since you're here, what bullet does that?" She said nodding towards the wall and we turned around, looking at the arrow marks. "Not bullets. Arrows." I commented as I looked down at the served vodka.

"Ah, right." Yelena said nodding as she picked up the shot glass. Natasha placed the vials and picture down on the table. "If you didn't think we'd come here, why'd you send me this?" Nat said demanding an answer as I looked at Yelena.

"You brought it back here?" She said looking at us like we were crazy and walking away. I shook my head, "I'm not here trying to be your friend, but you need to tell me what that is." I said following after her as Nat followed after me.

Yelena enters the room, I used to sleep in, "It's a synthetic gas." Yelena explained as I nodded understanding a bit. "The counteragent to chemical subjugation." She said grabbing something from a small cabinet. "The gas immunizes the brain's neuropathways from external manipulation." She explained to us as she took something out.

I nodded walking to the closet and quickly changed into a grey shirt, another black jacket and pair of jeans with my boots. "Maybe in English next time?" Nat asked as I rolled my eyes at her. "Eto protivoyadiye ot kontrolya nad razumom." I said loudly as she looked at me and Yelena smirked at me as I smirked back. It's an antidote to mind control.

"Nastoyashchaya zrelaya." She said to us as I shrugged at her and Yelena shoved some things in her bag. "Why don't you two take it to one of your super-scientist friends?" She said as I halted but shook my head as I washed my face. "They can explain it to you." She said as I patted my face with a small towel. Real mature.

I walked back in the room, "Tony Stark, maybe?" I scoffed at her idea as I looked at Nat and Yelena. "Oh, yeah. We're not really talking right now, so..." I said shaking my head and Yelena looked back as me as she reached for a shirt.

"Great. Perfect timing." She said sarcastically as I rolled my eyes, grabbing my rings and slipping them on. "Where's an Avenger when you need one?" Yelena said as I rolled my eyes whilst looking at my cheekbone spotting a small bruise. "I don't wanna be here." Nat said to Yelena as she continued.

"And I bet Larissa doesn't either." Nat said as I quickly walked out pointing at her. "Hey! I'm actually glad I'm here with Yelena." I said sternly as she sighed. "Need I remind you that we're on the run?" Nat shouted at me as I got quiet and sighed.

"And you could've gotten us killed." She said to Yelena as I glanced between them. "Well, what was I supposed to do?" Yelena said shrugging and looked at Nat while she took off her shirt. "You guys are the only superhero people that I know." Yelena faltered as we looked at Nat's bruised back.

"That was the whole reason I sent it to you." She said looking away as I sighed grabbing my bag and stepping towards Yelena smiling. I handed her a gun, "I kept checking the news, expecting to see Captain America bringing down the Red Room." She said walking out as I halted from picking up another gun from under my bed.

I looked at Nat as she looked at me and the direction Yelena went. "What?" Nat and I said simultaneously as I quickly grabbed my gun and more ammo. "Taking down the Red Room? What are you talking about, Yelena?" I said hurrying after her as she continued to walk.

"It's been gone for years." Nat said putting in a jacket as I stopped by the door. "Dreykov's dead." I said shaking my head as Nat walked closer to us. "We killed him." Nat explained as Yelena smiled at us before placing more guns and ammo.

"You two don't actually believe that, do you?" She asked us as I got quiet and looked to the side and she got serious and walked in front of us. She looked at us as I looked away from her and then looked at her chuckling nervously.
