Lila Barton
I heard someone sit beside me, but I didn't feel like seeing who it was, so I just let them.
- I know it's the last thing you want to hear, but ¿are you okay? - a feminine voice asked me - if you don't want to talk that's fine by me, we can just stay here watching the clouds, Lila Barton, by the way - she introduce herself, when I heard her name I turned to look at her
- Barton, like... - I started
- Clint Barton, Hawkeye, my father - she interrupted me
- How's you father after what happened? - I asked
- Not really good, Auntie Nat was really important to him - she explained a little sad
- Auntie Nat? -
- Yes, did you know her? -
- Better than you think -
Some minutes later, the brunette girl with red tones arrived
- Hi, Auntie Wanda - Lila greeted her happily
- So you're the mysterious Wanda that Nat talked about - I said looking at her
- I hope she only said good things - she said sitting next to me
- Yes, but also some warnings - I answered
- Yes, that's sounds like something she would do - she said laughing
- Were you two close? Because from what she used to said sounds like you were - I asked
- She was the closest person to me, she was always there after my brother's death -
- That also sounds like something she would do -
- Yes, well, I think we should get back if you feel ready - she said trying to end the conversation
- um... yeah, I think we should, I need to talk to Yelena - I said getting up with Lila
When we arrived back at the tower, Yelena came rushing and hugged me, and I hugged her back immediately
- I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have said that - she whispered in my ear with her voice about to break
- It's okay, it's fine, I'm sorry too - I tried to comfort her
- Okay, now that you know, can you tell us how you know her? - Tony said, Nat was right about the "Tony ruining moments"
I looked at Yelena, I didn't want to tell, but if she though we should I won't deny her
- Okay look, Nat was trained in a place called the KGB, she was trained in the program of the Red Room, where little girls we trained to become the best spies and assassins in the world - Yelena started explaining - That's where I met her and a little later where we met Nadya, and well, we became a strange family -
I didn't want to tell anything the less they knew the better, and as much as Natasha trusted them, even she didn't tell them, but I needed to say something.
- And you were there too - I said pointing to James - The incredible trainer, The Winter Soldier - I said with a mocking tone
- He was brainwashed, it wasn't his fault - the blonde man, who I guess it was Captain America, came out defensively
- Wow, the great Captain America came to defend him, where's your shield, huh? - I said with the same tone as before - don't you think we were all brainwashed? I've been trained by Hydra too, in case you didn't know -
- You can't blame him for something, when you've killed hundreds - he said with a threatening tone.
- You don't know a thing about who I have or haven't killed, so you have nothing on me - I said with an even more threatening tone than his - you didn't know anything about my existence until I showed up through that door, not even S.H.I.E.L.D knew anything, which by the way I know is still going on, so stop trying to threaten me because it won't help you -
- NADYA! - Yelena called me - stop - she ordered softly
- You too Steve - Wanda said
- Look, I'm sorry, I don't remember what I did to you there, but I promise you that I didn't mean to be like that - James apologized
- It will be hard to accept it but we can forgive you - said Yelena and I rolled my eyes
James smiled and I rolled my eyes again
- Well, um... I think I'm going to ask F.R.I.D.A.Y to prepare two rooms for you - said Tony
- No, we already have a hotel room - Yelena denied
- No, no, you are not staying in a hotel room, for two simple reasons: Pepper would kill me if I left you in a hotel and we don't trust her - he said pointing at me
- We didn't come here to make you trust me - I said fed up with his comments
- Надя пожалуйста - (Nadya, please) Yelena asked me
I step back and crossed my arms. This was going to be a long day.
- Well, we'll stay here - Yelena said and I looked at her incredulously.
- Ты серьезно? - (Are you serious? ) - I said addressing Yelena
- да - (yes) she said - мы останемся здесь - (we stay here)
- Perfect, gather your things from the hotel and bring them, the rooms will be ready in a few minutes - he said disappearing through some room. I was going to need a tour of this place if I was planning on staying.
It was around two o'clock in the afternoon when we were called to lunch. Yelena and I already had our own rooms, I had been told I could decorate it however I wanted, but I hadn't touched anything, what was the point, I wasn't planning to stay long.
I came out of my room and went to where everyone was. Yelena was there too, and she seemed like one of them, as if they had known each other all their lives, she got along with each and every one of them, I found that scene adorable. I, on the other hand, don't get along with everyone, Lila was the best I got along with, but she's not here. Then there is Tony, I don't dislike him, but his ego can be seen from Russia. We also have Steve, he also has a lot of ego, no matter how much he tries to hide it, especially when it comes to his best friend Bucky. Then there is Clint, I like him a lot, I find it amazing that after seeing his best friend die he stands up for her, plus Natasha told me his story, how he was supposed to kill her but instead he saved her, that's having a heart of gold. We also have Wanda, Nat told me her story about being a Hydra experiment, that made me like her even better, she lost a lot: her brother, mother, father and now Nat, we were both Hydra experiments and that makes me feel close to her. I have also met Bruce, I know he is Nat's ex who left her without telling her anything, it seems a bit cowardly, but I guess he was afraid. I got to meet Sam, he seems cool, apparently he's the new Captain America and I find him awesome, he's not self-centered, not a smart ass either, he's cool and I like that, plus how he behaves around Bucky, they seem like a couple.
- Hey Nadya, come sit here - Wanda told me tapping a chair next to her and I did
They talked for a while, I just listened and played with the food, I wasn't really hungry
- Aren't you going to eat? - Wanda whispered in my ear
- No, I'm not hungry - I said, for some reason I felt comfortable talking to her, as I felt with Yelena, not at much, but similar.
- Just eat a little bit and that's it, you don't have to eat everything - she said and I listened to her.
When everyone was done, we went back to our rooms.
A few hours later, I heard a noise in my door
- Come in Wanda - I said, knowing it was her
- How did you know? - she asked entering - well, why do I even ask that?, you are the same as Nat - said I looked at her with a look asking what happened
- We are having movie night, you coming? - she asked
- If it's just you guys, I guess so - I said
- Great! - she celebrated
We went down to the living room where everyone was. Steve and Sam on either side of Bucky, Clint next to a woman, I guess his girlfriend or something, Tony next to another woman, I guess that's Pepper his wife. When I turned I could see Lila and smiled, Yelena was sitting next to her. Wanda went to sit on the other side of Lila and I didn't know where to sit. Yelena could see my discomfort, so she made a space between Lila and her and invited me to sit down, which I accepted.
- I thought you wouldn't come down - Yelena said in my ear, covering me with a blanket.
- Neither did I, Wanda convinced me - I whispered back and she laughed
We were watching movies until midnight. Around the third movie, almost everyone was asleep, including Lila who was resting her head on my shoulder, normally I wouldn't let someone do that but I could tell she was tired, so I let her.
Late in the movie, I noticed Lila starting to wake up
- I'm sorry I leaned on your shoulder, I didn't realize - Lila apologized
- It's okay, you were tired - I played it down
- Yes, I was, and still am, so I'm going to bed - she said raising her voice at the end for everyone to hear
- Yes me too - I said - hey Yelena, проснись, я иду спать, и тебе тоже следует - (wake up, I'm going to bed and you should too)
Yelena woke up and together we went to our respective rooms.
