"I am reaching for fish." He says slowly whilst gesturing with his hand as I sighed. "Oh!" He exclaimed, dramatically if I may. "I lose balance. Ah!" He said extending his arms more as I shook my head.

"Splash!" He said looking down at us as I grabbed Yelena's hand. "My hands go in the river." He says as Yelena scoffed, "In this weather, frostbite sets in quick." Alexei explained as I huffed in annoyance.

"My father, he go toilet on my hands." He says loudly as I looked at him in disgust, "What the fuck?!" I exclaimed loudly as he continued, "Urine is 35 degrees Celsius, staves off the frostbite." Alexei says loudly ignoring our protests.

"How is this relevant?" Yelena exclaims whilst looking up at Alexei and I also looked at him. "You know, fathers." He said making my blood boil, "No." Yelena said before I continued for her.

"No, you have done nothing but tell us how bored you were." I sneered at his whilst shaking my head, Yelena remained silent as I spoke. "We were the chore, the job you didn't want to do." I said moving my hand to the side.

"To us?" I said slowly as he kept his gaze on us both, "To us, you were everything." I said shaking my head as he remained silent and I scoffed looking away. "Exactly. You don't care." I said shaking my head as my heart clenched.

"You don't care." Yelena agreeed with me as I looked down at my hands, "The only thing you care about are your stupid glory days as the Crimson Dynamo, and no one wants to hear about it." Yelena said as I nodded and he breathed in.

It was silent, "It's the Red Guardian." He whispered making us quickly look at him and glare, "Get out." Yelena began as I felt more angry. "Get out!" I shouted angrily towards him and he sighed.

He got up from the bed and stood there, "I can't remember." I hear him say as I looked at him, confused, "If I cried." He stepped away from us as I looked at Yelena and back at him. "When I read about his widowed bride." He sang loudly as the familiar lyrics made my eyes water.

"Something touched me deep inside." He sang as he sat down on the brown couch, looking down. "The day." I felt my inner child want to sing along, "The music." He stretched out causing Yelena to chuckle as I kept my gaze at him.

"Died." He said finally looking up at us both, "And they were singing."  Causing Yelena and I to snicker at him, "Bye." He sang as I looked at him, "Bye." Yelena said softly as she looked away from Alexei.

"Miss American Pie." He sang as we softly sang along with him whilst chuckling. "Drove my Chevy to the levee." I sniffed looking down, "But the levee was dry." He continued to sing, "Was dry." We said simultaneously as I smiled down at my feet.

"Them good old boys." He said smiling at us as we looked up at him and away, "Drinking whiskey." He said softly as I kept my gaze on the floor, "Singing." He said softly as I looked up.

"This will be the day that I die." We all sang simultaneously, looking at each other as I felt the calm my my chest, "This'll be the day..." He sang before bright lights blinded our eyesight and hearing helicopters outside.

We quickly got up from our spots and I gape at the blinding light, as the helicopters surrounded the small house. I hear a bunch of rustling outside, "Get down." Alexei said to us whilst holding his arm out.
