Are you there? - A wrong number story || Natasha Romanoff x Teen OC

7. Popcorn = Widow?

˚☆⋆｡˚ ✩⧗⧗⧗˚✩ ⋆｡☆˚

Natasha's POV:

The ride back to the compound was silent. They'd let her get away once more, even though they had her in a situation where it was nearly impossible to escape. Yet, the widow did.

Natasha was the most bummed out of all of them, because it was her fault that she got away. She'd wasted time talking to her, let her trick her into getting away.

Still, there was something she'd noticed as she fought against their widow...

The girl seemed to have some kind of abdominal trauma, clutching the area multiple times as they fought. That alone wasn't all too strange though. The strange thing was, the wound was located at the same spot "Popcorn" had described her stab wound to be.

Could it be that the online stranger she'd grown quite fond of ... was their widow?

Suddenly, as if on cue, Natasha's phone started vibrating, alerting her of a new message. When she checked who it was, she inhaled sharply. It was Popcorn.

Hmmm

I genuinely don't wanna ever think about that time again!
