Breaking point

Chapter 20 - Auntie

Natasha was walking up to an apartment. She knew that she would need help.

She couldn't do this on her own not with Akilinas life on the line.

Getting to the door she opened it skillfully pulling out her gun.

She walked around the apartment suddenly pulling up her gun.

"I know you’re out there." a woman's voice speaks.

" I know you know I’m out here."

"Then why are you skulking about like it’s a minefield?"

"Cause I don’t know if I can trust you."

"Funny, I was going to say the same thing."

" So, we gonna talk like grown-ups?"

The woman walks around the corner both woman had there guns trained on each other.

" Is that what we are?" the woman speaks sarcastically.

" Put it down" Nat speaks.

"You put yours down"

They begin wrestling on the ground nat eventually pins the woman.

"Вы выросли yelena" (You’ve grown up yelena)

" Нет, блин " (No shit.)

"You had to come to Budapest, didn’t you?"

"i came here because I thought you wouldn't. Why are you here?"

"the red room"

"and here I thought I was doing this shit on my own. Get off of me."

Nat gets off yelena and they both walk to the table across the room.

"what?"

"what do you mean what?"

"you knew. You knew the red room was still active."

"yes I knew why wouldn't I know."

Natasha pauses. " only recently did I find out the red room was active."

"how?"

"They. They kidnapped my daughter."

There was a long silence.

"not funny"

"I'm not joking."

" that's so not funny."

"yelena I'm not lying."

"you don't have a womb."

"I had her when I was still in the red room."

"excuse you. You. You got pregnant in the red room. How the fuck. Who the fuck? Who did you fuck?"

"the winter soldier."

"oh the winter soldier. THE WINTER SOLDIER"

" yes yelena"

"I'm not gonna question it as much as I want to."

"thank you"

yelena was laughing quietly.

"Dreykovs dead. I'm sure of it. So who's running it."

"If you’re so sure, then tell me what happened. Tell me exactly."

"We rigged bombs."

"Who’s we?"

"Clint Barton. Killing Dreykov was the final step in my defection to S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Simple as that?"

"Yeah, sure, “simple.” That’s what I’d call imploding a five-story building and then shooting it out with the Hungarian Special Forces. Took 10 days in hiding before we could even get out of Budapest."
