Soulmates

Ch 25

A week passes

Wanda: "hey i made you some food"

Wanda places a plate of food in front of Natasha

Nat: "i'm not hungry"

Carol: "please eat nat. It's been days since you've last eaten"

Nat: "i said i'm not hungry"

She pushed the plate of food away from her

Wanda: "This isn't healthy. You know that"

Carol: "we don't want you to get sick"

Nat: "i'll be fine. you guys have nothing to worry about"

Carol: "think of what avery would say"

Wanda: "she wouldn't want you hurting yourself by not eating. She would want you to take care of yourself"

Nat: "well maybe you should have thought of that before you erased all of her memories and sent her away"

A year later

Avery: "bye have a nice day"

??: "bye ms Rebecca"

Avery walks out.  about to close the door when she sees a woman

Avery: "Can I help you with something ms?"

Nat: oh "no sorry i was just watching you teach those kids. You are a really good dancer"

Avery smiles

Avery: "Thank you. I love to dance. Always had a special place in my heart. Especially ballet. I'm rebecca"

She holds her  hand out

Nat: "Natalia"

They shake hands

Avery: "nice to meet you natalia. I need to head back inside for another class. It was nice meeting you"

She walks inside

Nat: "the same caring person i fell in love with"

She smiles

Natasha returns to the compound

Carol: "hey natasha"

Nat: "hey"

Carol: "were you visiting avery again?"

Natasha nods

Nat: "i miss her so much but she is finally living a normal and peaceful life without widows or anyone from the red room chasing her"

Carol: "it must be hard"

Natasha starts to tear up

Nat: "it is but i know that she is finally safe away from the red room"

Carol: "hey"

She hugs natasha

Nat: i "miss her.. I miss her so much"

The following day Natasha is at the studio again

Avery: "stalking me now are you natalia?"

Nat: "oh umm"

Avery laughs

Avery: "I'm joking. Would you like to come in? i'm done with classes for the day"

Nat: "sure"

They both walk into the dance studio

Avery: "so this is my dance studio"

Nat: "it's awesome"

Avery:when i was younger i always wanted a dance studio. Now I finally have one"

Natasha smiles

Avery: "so Natalia,what do you like doing for fun?"

Nat: "i actually enjoy dancing as well"

Avery: "really what type?"

Nat: "i grew up with ballet. I've learned ballet since I was 8"

Avery: "you should show me what you know"

Nat: "i don't have shoes or anything. Besides I haven't danced in over a year"

Avery: "I'll be right back"

Avery leaves and comes back

Avery: "you are a size 9 ½ i assume based off your height"

Nat: "yeah thats my size"

Avery: " now that you have shoes. Show me"

Nat: " okay but I have danced in over a year so I may be pretty bad"

They both laugh

Natasha puts the shoes on and stands up

Avery: "you should take your jacket off. It's going to minimize your movements and you are probably going to get hot in it"

Nat: "right i should"

She takes her leather jacket off and avery notices something on natasha's right inner arm.

Avery: "that tattoo on your inner arm, what is that about? If you don't mind me asking"

Natasha looks down at the tattoo. She goes quiet for a moment. Her tattoo was avery's name with a small drawing avery made for natasha 2 years ago on her birthday

Nat: "it's about someone who was really close to me... i lost them a year ago... they had such an impact on my life and i wanted to do something so i would always remember her. Her name was avery. This is actually a drawing she made for me on my birthday a couple of years back"

Avery: "that sounds so sweet. She sounds like such a nice person"

Nat: "yeah she was... anyways i guess i could show you some stuff i know"

Natasha performs the ballet routine that her and avery loved doing all the time

Avery: "that was beautiful "

Nat: "thanks"

Avery: "i feel like i know that though "

Nat: "really"

Avery: "yeah but i don't  remember ever learning it"

Nat: "odd"

A couple days late

Avery and natasha were hanging out

Avery: "why does she feel so familiar?I feel safe around her and i trust her like ive know her for years"

Nat: "you okay?"

Avery: "what? Oh yeah i'm fine"

Natasha looks at avery. She knew that look. Whenever avery was lying or nervous she would dig her nails into her arm and would make a certain facial expression

Nat: "hey if you need to get something off of your mind im right here"

Avery: "thanks Natalia but it's nothing"

Nat: "I should get going... i wanted to do something though before i go"

Avery: "that is?"

Natasha kisses avery. Avery is shocked

Nat: "sorry i just needed to do that...i couldn't stop myself from doing that"

She gets up and walks away

Avery: "oh my god. S-she kissed me. Natalia kissed me"
