What We Hide

Dream

"Red!" Howard yelled across the hall

Natalia heard Howard but she kept running.

"Natalia Alianovna!" Howard yelled as loud as he could across the hall

Natalia stopped and turned around, Howard ran to her and she told him;

"Howard I don't have time to do this right now"

"Do what?" Howard asked

"I don't have time talk about what happed earlier. Look, I hope we can still be friends. I don't want anything to be weird between us." Natalia replied

"Oh no. Believe me I don't want that to ever come up again I just wanted to ask you if you were okay" Howard asked

"Yea I'm fine, why wouldn't I be" Natalia answered

"You ran out and you had a worried look on you face." He said

"You want the truth?" She asked

"That would be great." He replied

"Okay but you have to promise not to tell anybody or laugh at me." Natalia said with a serious face

"I promise. Is it serious?" He asked

"Not here." Natalia told him

"Where?" He asked

"Come one follow me." Natalia told Howard as she grabbed his hand and pulled him took to the roof of the academy she had been exploring and found a way to the roof.

"Wow I can't remember the last time I was up here its been at least 5 years since I last been here." Howard said

They sat on the edge of the building looking down. It was cold and windy.

"Okay, you know how they did the treatment on me?" Natalia said

"Yea did they do it?" Howard asked

"Yea, when they did it I was put to sleep and I had a dream or at least I think it was a dream." Natalia said as she shivered because if the wind.

"Take my sweater." Howard told Natalia as he took off his sweater.

"I'm okay I don't need it." Natalia said

"Here just put it on." Howard demanded

"Thank you" Natalia said putting in the sweater

It had Howards cologne. So as soon as Natalia put it on she smelled him, and that made her smile.

"I dreamt that I was alone in the academy and no one was there and I tried to call some one to help me. When I did they went straight to voice mail or it said I that it wasn't in service. So I started to walk around it was dark and I wasn't able to see anything so j got my phone and turned on the flash. When I did there was this girl that looked exactly like me. She told me that Romanoff and Barton were my parents. Which is totally stupid right? And impossible because my mother died when I was 5. I saw her die and my father, well my father I lived with him for a long time, so there for they can't be my parents." Natalia finished

"Well its not impossible you do look like Romanoff but you don't have anything that makes you look like Barton. Well unless you got his great archery skills but that's not genetic." Howard said laughing

"I told you not to laugh." Natalia said as she playfully punched Howard in his stomach

"And the reason I was running out of the auditorium was because Thea told me that she has seen my necklace on Ms. Romanoff. Well not mine, but a look alike and she said that it had a bow and it said Talia. And if you put that together that spelled Natalia. and I always knew that it had another part to it because it has a magnet on the back of the T on my necklace." Natalia said as she showed Howard her necklace
