I miss her
*LILA POV*
I woke up on the sofa, Nadya was lying with her body on top of me, her head on my chest and our legs intertwined.
I took my mobile that was on the table in front of the sofa, I tried to move as little as possible so as not to wake up Nadya
I took my mobile that was on the table in front of the sofa, I tried to move as little as possible so as not to wake up Nadya. It was 8:30 in the morning, which meant that everyone was already awake, which meant that they had seen us lying like this, which meant that Nadya was not going to be happy.
- Hey, Nadya, wake up baby - I said softly.
- You know that I am older than you, right? - she replied, lifting her head from my chest, making me laugh
- You're still my baby - I told her.
- Okay - she told me, lying down on my chest again and closing her eyes.
- Hey, don't fall asleep, let's go to our room, the boys are already awake - I told her trying not to keep her awake
- What time is it? - she asked getting up not very happy, which made me smile
- 8.30 - I replied
- Have they seen us? - she asked
- It could be, I'm not sure - I answered
- Well, it doesn't matter - she said getting up and starting to walk towards the elevator - shall we go? - she extended his hand for me to take it
- Come on - I took her hand and we went to the elevator
It's incredible, she didn't care that everyone saw us like this, she doesn't usually like gestures of affection in public.
This is another step forward
We went to my room, which is the one on the first floor, Nadya's is on the top floor, at the end of the hall, and right after that is Natasha's, and before that is Yelena's, at Wanda's request, who is also on that floor. Although Wanda and Natasha always shared a room, and they used Wanda's, which was bigger.
I miss her, I wish Thanos never showed up
- Are you okay? - Nadya asked me, as she left the bathroom in which she was taking a shower.
- Yes, I was just thinking - I answered as she approached
- And you want to tell me what this little head here thinks? - she asked putting her finger on my forehead
- In Natasha - I answered and I saw how her eyes began to darken and all the happiness that was in them left
- Do you miss her? -
- A lot, she was the best aunt you could ask for, she taught me to defend myself after some children messed with me at school, although my parents didn't let her, she taught me a little - I answered - you? -
- Too much, and I didn't know her half as long as you did, only 2 and a half years, but I always idealized her while I was in the Red Room, they never controlled my mind, I guess Dreykov did something to make it not happen. When I went on missions, I always tried to learn something new from Natasha - she started telling me, I kept quiet the whole time, Nadya rarely opens up about her past - there was always a magazine that featured something about the avengers, I read it and then I put it down, Dreykov, he was my father, so the only thing that mattered to him was that I complete the mission, as long as he did that he could do whatever he wanted, he just had to return to the base when he or Madame B said so - finished
I decided not to comment further on it, if I had decided to leave it that way, we would leave it that way
- Natasha was an easy person to idealize, she always made everything perfect for everyone, when my father was on missions and she wasn't, she always helped my mother with us, so she wouldn't be alone, Auntie Nat knew my mother could do it alone, but she still wouldn't let her - I told her
- Tell me more stories about her, please - she said sitting next to me.
I leaned on the back of the bed and pulled her to me, I started telling stories about Natasha when she was with us.
- I remember one night, I was 5 years old, I had not gone to school because I felt sick, she had just come home and was in the living room with my mother sitting talking on the sofa... -

*NO POV*
- Auntie Nat - a voice was heard on the stairs
Natasha turned towards the sound and a little girl appeared out of the darkness, the little girl had quite a red face and sweat making her hair stick to her forehead.
- What is this little girl doing awake? - asked Natasha approaching Lila and picking her up.
- I can't sleep - she replied, resting her head on her aunt's shoulder.
- Nightmares? - she asked softly, picking her up again to take her to her room.
- Yes - she answered, going back to sleep - She wanted to eat me because I wouldn't let him get close to you -
- Well, now I'm here and he's not going to go near anyone again, okay? - she said laying her on the bed too big for such a little girl
- Can you stay with me and tell me a story? - she said closing her eyes and pulling her auntie's shirt so that she lay next to her
- Of course, little one - he answered, lying down on her niece's bed
Lila settled into the arms of her favorite aunt and Natasha began to tell her a story, the story of her life in Ohio 1995
end of flashback
*LILA POV*
- Not until a few years later did I find out that this story was real, I just thought that the story was made up like the ones my mother told me, the same happened with the ones my father told me, he told me stories about the missions he had with Natasha - I said after finishing telling the story to Nadya, who was leaning on my legs and I was stroking her hair
- She would have been a good mother, just like she was a good aunt to you and your brothers - she said after a few seconds of silence - So, you were the first person she told her story with Yelena? -
- I don't know if I was really the first person, maybe she told my father, I really don't know - I replied
- Clint didn't seem very surprised the first day Yel and I appeared here, maybe he already knew - she commented
- I don't know, if you want one day we can ask him, now from what he told me yesterday, he's on a mission, apparently some incompetent person has decided to steal Ronin's suit - I told her
- There are very incompetent people in this world - she said moving to lean on her back, still keeping her head on my legs and I moved several hairs that she had on her face
- I couldn't agree more - I told her laughing - you know, he'll probably end up capturing that person and bringing him here to be part of the Avengers, because from what I've been able to see on the news that person has abilities - I told her.
- Let's see, play the video - he told me and I obeyed, I turned on the television and looked for the video where it came out and we saw it - that's obviously an agile girl, but I still don't understand what she's doing with a suit that did so much damage -
- Now, wait, how do you know it's a girl? - I asked very confused
- At the beginning of the video she turns towards the camera and you can see her face, it's a girl - he replied
- You are a very observant girl - I said giving her a kiss
- I guess I am - she said smiling.
I'm too in love with the girl in front of me
- How about we go down for a while with the others? - I asked turning off the television
- Sounds good to me - she said getting up.
We left my room and went down to the living room where everyone was except dad and Thor were.
There was even Maria Hill herself with Pepper
- Hello girls, did you have a good night? - asked Tony winking, getting a slap on the head from his wife
- Cousin Lila! - I heard a voice from the kitchen and a small, not so small anymore, girl ran out to jump into my arms
- Morgan, what are you doing here little girl? -
- Mom has come to visit dad and she has brought me with her - she told me - Cousin Nadya! - he shouted looking to my right, since Morgan met Nadya she admires her like no other person
- Hello little one - she answered taking her in her arms seeing her grabby hands
- Mom says that one day you two can come home, so you can play with me - she told us while playing with Nadya's red hair
- We'll keep it in mind - I told her.
- Good! - celebrated - Mom! - she shouted getting down from Nadya's arms, while we laughed at her enthusiasm
I took Nadya by the hand and led her to the sofa where the others were sitting.
- What's up, Morgan? - Pepper asked, sitting her daughter on her lap.
- Nadya and Lila say that maybe they can come home - she told her
- Is it true? - she asked waiting for us to confirm and I nodded to her
- Well, when they are not busy we will talk about it - she told her daughter
I know that by busy she probably refers to the story between Tony and Nadya, she hasn't wanted to tell me yet and I fully accept her decision, I understand that it's not easy, all I know is that it's related to her past, but I've decided not to press , she will tell me when she is ready.
- WELL, GUYS, I BROUGHT A GUEST! - We heard a voice yelling at us from the entrance, my father.
