Nightmare
*LILA POV*
- And that's what happened when I was at Hydra, at least what I remember - finished Nadya.
Nadya was telling me what happened in her time at Hydra, and it couldn't be more horrible.
- They will get what they deserve, I promise - I told her - can I hug you? - after what she's been through, I needed her to know that I won't do anything to her without her consent. She nodded and I went over to hug her.
I slipped my arms around her shoulders and pulled her close to me, she snuggled into my chest and I ran my hand down her back drawing invisible circles. She grabbed my waist and closed her eyes. Slowly I noticed how her grip became looser, until it was non-existent, she had fallen asleep.
I slipped my hand under her knees and lifted her up, took her to my base room and curled her up on the bed, I was going to let her rest, until she stopped me.
- Please don't go - she said
- Do you want me to sleep with you? - I asked her
- Please -
I lay down with her and she rested her head on my chest, I put my hand on her back again and moved my hand around her back to comfort her. I continued like this until I too fell asleep.
I woke up to a scream coming from Nadya, she was having a nightmare, but she hadn't woken up yet, which means she is still locked in that nightmare.
- Hey, hey, I'm here - I told her - Wake up, please, you're ok, I'm here, you're with the Avengers - I tried to wake her up.
- Please, not again - she murmured.
- It won't happen again, I promise you, you're here with me - I said and that seems to do the trick, because she woke up - I'm here, Nads, I'm here - I said and she rushed towards me hugging me - It's over -
Suddenly the door opened and Yelena and Wanda appeared, I saw how seeing the scene they smiled. Nadya immediately separated from me.
- Are you all right, Nadya? - asked Wanda from the door
- I'm fine, don't worry - she said, I know she was lying but I didn't say anything.
- Well, we'll leave you alone, you know that if you need to talk, you can talk to all of us - said Wanda.
I saw how Yelena threw a wink at Nadya and she rolled her eyes, I tried to keep my laughter, but a smile escaped me. Wanda and Yelena left the room and we went back to bed.
- I don't think I can go back to sleep, Lila - she said.
- Then we won't - I told her
- Are you going to stay up for me? -
- I would do anything for you -
- Thank you -
- you have nothing to thank me, Nads -
-----------------------------
THE NEXT MORNING
We stayed up all night talking about anything and everything.
It was 6 o'clock in the morning when we started to hear noises in the hallway.
- Do you want to get some breakfast? They're probably all up for training already - I asked her
- Let's go - she said getting up
We walked out the door to the kitchen, where everyone was already up having breakfast.
- Good morning, little ones - said Steve
- You know we are 18, right? - I said
- You're still the little ones - he answered
- Good - I said rolling my eyes
We sat them down, Nadya between me and Yelena, and on my other side my father.
- Hey, honey - said my father
- What? - I asked smiling
- I'm going home this weekend, do you want to come? Wanda and Yelena are coming, you can bring Nadya if she wants - he said to me
- Nadya, do you want to? - I turned to Nadya
- Ok - she said, I realized that she hadn't eaten anything since we are here.
I saw that Yelena and Wanda had also noticed that Nadya didn't want to eat, but they didn't say anything either, Nadya had been through a lot and we didn't want to pressure her
- Before the training I would like to test Nadya about her powers - said Bruce
- I don't think it's necessary to do them so soon - said Wanda - She came out 2 days ago from Hydra's cells, where they were experimenting with her, it's not the best time - said Bruce.
- He's right, the sooner the better - said Steve now
- Absolutely not, today we are going to Clint's house, when we come back from his house, if Nadya is ready, you can do them, understood? - said Yelena with an authoritative voice
- Ok, that's the way it will be - Bruce agreed
- Nadya, after my training I need to talk to you, ok? - said Yelena
- Okay - answered Nadya
- And, eat a little, at lest a spoonful of those cereals - she said, and Nadya obeyed, putting in her mouth a spoon with cereals on it, receiving a smile from her sister
A few minutes later, all the avengers, including Nadya and me, started to clear the table to get ready for training. I left to train with my dad and Nadya. I have to say Nadya is very good with the bow, she has taught me a lot of tricks.
flashback
- I don't believe that you are as good as my father - I said
- We can check that - she said, took the bow and broke my father's arrow with his own, right in the center.
- Okay, you are very good, I won't say anything again - I said accepting defeat.
- I want to see an arrow fight between Clint and Nadya - said Wanda coming towards us.
- I don't, that will go on forever - said Tony - Besides, I would win triple imposter jr.
- I said that you won't call me that - said Nadya
- That's what I called Natasha, and you're the same, there's also triple blonde impostor - said referring to Yelena
- Natasha was not an impostor, she was a spy, they are different things, weren't you so smart? - she said
- Hey, don't mess with my intelligence, I'm the smartest person in the world - he said.
- Not really, Shuri is smarter than you - answered Nadya.
- Okay, that's it, we don't want a fight - I said separating them.
- Nadya would win anyway, she has an amazing way of using words, she can convince anyone - said Yelena arriving - Nadya, I need to talk to you - she said standing next to her.
- Okay, let's go - said Nadya walking next to her.
