Retnikopf: Widow Of Siberia (old Version)

PART 5: Chapter 1 - Stars

Vienna stood by the window of Captain Marvel's ship, watching the stars go by as they flew through space. It was a lot to take in for a vast empty space, so empty yet so full of everything. The colours of the cosmos glinted in Vienna's eyes as Carol came over to her.

"How're you doing?" she asked, trying to get a read on the blank expression, "your sister's feeling better."

"I didn't know she got car sick," Vienna commented, continuing to try and absorb everything in front of her. The hint of a smile on her face.

"I don't," Yelena told her, as if it were vital that she understood, "this is a lot more than a car, launching into space it a lot different."

"More like a roller-coaster then," Vienna smirked, knowing how easily Yelena could be wound up.

"I said I didn't like the look of roller-coasters," Yelena corrected her, "I've never been on one so I don't know. And it wasn't because I thought I'd get sick, it was because I didn't want to be strapped into something like that, being thrown around. I want to be able to get away if I need to."

Carol chuckled as she watched them both, "so it looks like we're gonna be spending a lot of time together now huh. Where do you guys wanna go first?"

"Vormir," the two widows said in unison.

"All business huh," Carol nodded, "you don't wanna see some planets on the way? You're stuck with me for a while you know kid."

"I know that," Vienna said turning around to look at Carol, "but I'll see them much better with both my sisters by my side."

Carol smiled gently. She wanted Natasha back as much as the rest of them but she couldn't say she was confident in the plan. She couldn't see a way of bringing her back, not after the infinity stones didn't work.

"Okay, we're not going straight there, I've got something I need to do first," Carol told them, "I know Nat's important to you, she's important to me too but no offence, she isn't going anywhere and I've got some people to save who could if I don't get there fast enough."

"Suka, ty ne mozhesh'-" (Bitch, you can't-) Yelena started but she got cut off when Vienna kicked her in the shin.

"Okay, thank you for taking us with you," Vienna said politely, hoping that like most westerners Carol only spoke English.

"It's fine," Carol smiled not questioning whatever Yelena had said to her, "we all want Nat back, and it'll be fun to have some company. Space can be pretty lonely."

Vienna made a small smiling expression and gave her a nod. She had no intention of waiting for Carol to finish her errands, especially when they were so close to finding some proper closure about their sister. But, if Carol was suspicious of them then her plan would never work. It was bad enough that she would be watching them constantly to protect them from whatever space was going to through at them.

If she pulled it off Vienna would end up pissing off someone with the powers of a god, but she would also have the possibility of getting her sister back. If she had to fight a god for Natasha she would. Any obstacle in her path now would be removed.
