Loving Her is Red

Seven

YOUR POV

So, the silent treatment from Nat and the irritating treatment from Alexei. Brilliant.

- Alexei : Why the aggression, huh? Is it your time of the month?

- Yelena : I don't get my period, dipshit. I don't have a uterus

- Natasha : Or ovaries

- Yelena : Yeah. That's what happens when the Red Room gives you an involuntary hysterectomy. They kind of just go in and they rip out all of your reproductive organs. They just get right in there and they chop them all away. Everything out, so you can't have babies-

- Alexei : Okay, okay. Okay. Okay. You don't have to get so clinical and nasty

- Yelena : Oh, well, I was about to talk about fallopian tubes, but okay

- Alexei : No.

This bitch really has the audacity to say no when Yelena is allowing herself to even feel a slight bit of anger at him for abandoning her and Nat with the Red Room.

- Alexei : It means so much to me that you came back for me

- Natasha : No. No. You're going to tell us how to get to the Red Room

- Alexei : Huh. Whoa, look at you, huh? All business

- Natasha : Trust me, this isn't pleasure. I'd rather be as far away from you all as humanly possible

- Alexei : Little Natasha, all indoctrinated to the Western agenda

- Natasha : I chose to go west to become an Avenger. They treated me like family

- Alexei : Nothing to do with the crying American girl back here

- Natasha : Don't touch her

- Alexei : I'm nowhere near her

I wouldn't let him touch me with a 10 foot pole. He's dirty and smelly and is an asshole of a person.

- Natasha : Tell me where the Red Room is

- Alexei : I have no idea, okay?

- Natasha : Why're you crying?

- y/n : None of your fucking business

- Natasha : Right. Come on, you and Dreykov were like-

- Alexei : Dreykov? General Dreykov, my friend, huh? Gives me glory, Soviet Union's first and only super solider. I could have been more famous than Captain America. Then he buried me in Ohio on that stupid mission. Three years! So tedious, boring me to tears. No offence, huh? Then puts me in prison for the rest of my life. Why, huh? Why would he put me in... Maybe I want to talk about the withering of the state

I don't want to listen to him anymore. He's offended Yelena and she's currently the only person I want to speak to in this flying tin can.

- Alexei : I'm not even the one who, uh, you know. I'm not then one who killed his daughter

- Yelena : Can we throw him out the window now?

- Natasha : I think we should wait until we get to a higher altitude

And more talk about killing people. I might be an Avenger but that doesn't mean I want to kill people, I want to protect people and follow in the footsteps of my big sister.

- Yelena : Mama Melina?

- Natasha : We thought she was dead

- Alexei : You cannot kill a fox that swift

- Natasha : Ew

- Alexei : She was the scientist, the strategist. I was the muscle. She worked directly for Dreykov far more than I ever did

- Natasha : Are you telling me that Melina is working for the Red Room present day?

- Alexei : She works remotely outside of St. Petersburg

- Yelena : Uh, I don't think we have enough fuel for St. Petersburg

- Alexei : No. We're good. We'll make it

- Yelena : Okay 

Everyone aside from Alexei knows we won't make it to St. Petersburg and that means we'll all be stuck walking together. How great? It's probably better than being stuck in here giving Nat and Alexei the silent treatment.

- Alexei : You should've bought the Avengers' super jet

- Natasha : Yeah well I was travelling with my girlfriend before I found Yelena and then we came and saved your sorry ass

- y/n : Not your girlfriend

- Natasha : What?

- y/n : You heard me. You have been nothing but a bitch to me and quite frankly, I don't deserve to be treated that way so until you get your act together I'm not you girlfriend

- Natasha : You can't do that

- y/n : To hell I can't

By the time we get back to the compound we'll be fine, we should be fine. I'm hoping that whatever I'm doing now helps Nat realise she has to watch what she is doing.

- Natasha : I swear, if I hear one more word from him, I will kick him in the face

- Yelena : He's the worst

- Alexei : Natasha. Natasha. Natasha, come here, I want to ask you something

- Yelena : I'll go check on Y/n

I don't need checking on, I'm fine.

- y/n : If you're here to check on me then you can just go back to Nat. I don't want to talk

- Yelena : I'm just walking. It's a pretty field

- Natasha : Wait, you haven't seen either of us in 20 years and you're going to ask me about you?

- Alexei : What is with this tension? Did I do something wrong?

- Yelena : Is that a serious question?

- Alexei : I only ever loved you girls. I did my best to make sure you would succeed to achieve your fullest potential and everything worked out

- Natasha : Everything worked out?

- Alexei : Yes. For you, yes. We accomplished our mission in Ohio.Yelena, you went on to become the greatest child assassin the world has ever known. No one can match your efficiency, your ruthlessness. And Natasha, not just a spy, not just toppling regimes, destroying empires from within, but an Avenger. You both have killed so many people. Your ledgers must be dripping, just gushing red. I couldn't be more proud of you

Because that's what a child should be. A fucking assassin. Childhood is supposed to be a time of innocence and purity and yet Alexei is out here praising Nat and Yelena for being forced to choose between killing someone or being killed. If me and Nat ever have kids then Alexei is never being around them alone.
