"Come on! Y'all moving so slow!" Elle yelled with excitement to her mom and aunt running towards gas station.
"Wait for us, El!" Yelena yelled back and smiled softly at her niece. "I missed this one. She has grown." She said after a moment to her sister.
"Oh, she did." Natasha chuckled and paused for a second. "But I feel bad that she has to grow up around it all. I didn't want her to have such a childhood. Not like me." She sighed and looked down. "My girl just doesn't deserve that."
Yelena looked at her and took deep breath. "You're great mother, Nat. El feel safe around you, she's happy with you."
Natasha smiled softly at those words.
"Oh, finally! I almost fell asleep here." Elle teased and crossed her arms playfully looking on her mother and Yelena.
"Alright," Both women giggled. "come on, shall we find some snacks for this tummy?" Natasha smirked and lightly tickled girl in stomach.
Elle giggled and grabbed her mom's hand. "I thought you'd never ask, mom!"
"Oh I really need some too, I'm extremely starving." Yelena added and quickly entered the shop.
Natasha lowered herself to her daughter's height and grabbed her both hands. "Go take some food for you and your aunt, alright? We'll be right here." She smiled and kissed her cheek.
"Sure!" Girl answered and turned around towards alley with snacks.
"Hey, El." Natasha stopped her by her shoulder.
"Huh?" Elle asked confused and faced her mom.
"Be careful and don't get too far away, okay?" Natasha said in more serious tone and waited for girl's agreement. She wanted to make sure Elle is aware of the dangers and that she is careful about herself.
Elle rolled her eyes and smiled. "I'll be fine, mom!"
"Okay, go then." Natasha smiled softly and stood up watching her daughter for a moment until her sister spoke.
"Being mother is hard, isn't it?" Yelena teased looking on some stuff on the shelf.
Natasha smirked and turned around towards her. "So the Red Room's still active. Where is it?" She questioned hopefully Yelena will know the answer.
"I have no idea." Blonde woman shrugged. "He moves location constantly and every widow is sedated on entry and exit for maximum security."
Natasha thought for a second. "I'm just finding it hard to believe that he could stay off my radar."
Yelena raised her eyebrow. "We'll it's not smart to attack an Avenger if you want to say hidden."
Natasha looked at her confused.
But then Elle entered the hall with pack of oreos in her hand. "Auntie, I was just wondering. Do you like oreos?" She asked insecure.
Both women turned around to face girl.
"Of course bubs, who doesn't?" Yelena said with big smile on her face, cause of the way how Elle called her.
"It happens that this woman right here!" Elle giggled and pointed on her mom.
"Oh, you had to, didn't you?" Natasha smirked and rolled her eyes.
"What!? This is insane, how can you not like oreos?" Yelena teased her.
Natasha chuckled and pushed her sister with elbow playfully. "Oh, stop it."
"I'll be right back!" Elle smiled and came back to the alley to grab some more things.
As soon as girl walked away Natasha spoke. "Back to business."
"Right. I mean, the clue is in the name. Dreykov kills you, one of the big ones comes to avenge you."
"Wait, what are the big ones?" Redhead woman questioned.
"Well, I doubt the god from space has to take an ibuprofen after a fight." Yelena smirked a little bit, cause of her own joke.
After a moment of awkward silence she looked up on Natasha. "Where did you think I was all this time?"
Natasha looked down and thought for a moment. "I thought that you got out and were living a normal life."
"And you just never made contact again?"
"Honestly, I thought you didn't wanna see me." Natasha said washing her hands.
Yelena chuckled sarcastically. "Bullshit."
"You just didn't want to your baby sister to tag along, whilst you had a Gabriella and saved the world world with a cool kids." She said confidently and walked away.
"You weren't really my sister." Natasha said coldly passing her.
Yelena looked on her with disappointed. She didn't expect that kind of answer.
"And the Avengers aren't really your family." Yelena added and rolled her eyes.
Natasha sighed and grabbed some beer.
After a moment of silence while they were waiting for Elle, Yelena started the topic. "By the way, why do you always do that thing?"
"Do what?"
"The thing you do when you're fighting." Yelena smirked.
Natasha raised her eyebrows with confusion.
"The.. like the.. this thing that you do.." Yelena tried to explain and demonstrated the pose on the floor.
"Alright, I think I took everything, but-" Elle said entering the hall with a bunch of snacks in her hands. "Hold on." Elle smiled noticing Yelena on the floor. She perfectly knew what's going on.
"Are we doing my mom's fighting pose?" Elle questioned with excitement. She loved when her mom was doing it during the fight.
"Stop. No. Please, don't make a scene." Natasha tried to stop them.
"Oh, that's the word I exactly was looking for, that's your fighting pose! See? Even El noticed that!" Yelena laughed and looked up on her sister.
Elle also tried to make that pose. "I think you also should to whip your hair!"
"You guys know we are in public place, right?" Natasha sighed and crossed her arms.
"Like this? Does it look great?" Yelena whiped her hair and chuckled.
"Perfect." Elle giggled and whiped her hair too.
"I'm not doing that." Natasha said in defence and rolled her eyes.
"Oh, come on it's your fighting pose, mom!" Elle sat on the floor and smiled from ear to ear.
"Yeah, you're a total poser." Yelena teased.
"I'm not a poser." Natasha raised her eyebrow.
Elle and her aunt laughed.
"Oh, come on. I mean they're great poses." Yelena smirked as she stand up and tried to fix her hair.
"And I think they are awesome poses!" Girl stood up and hugged her mom.
Natasha smiled gently and squeezed her daughter in her embrace. "You little spy." She whispered to Elle's ear.
Yelena chuckled. "Yeah, but it does look like you think everyone's looking at you, like, all the time."
Natasha looked at her in shock. "Yeah, but all that time that I spent posing I was trying to actually do something good to make up for all the pain and suffering that we caused."
Elle looked down, it started to get serious. She didn't like that kind of tone and her mom noticed that her smile disappeared.
"El, baby, why don't you wait for us outside, huh? I'll pay for it and we'll go get some rest." Natasha lowered herself to Elle's height and kissed her forehead to make her feel better.
Elle smiled softly and nodded.
"We'll be there in a minute, bubs." Yelena stroked Elle's head, when she walked past her.
When Elle left the shop Natasha continued. "You know, I was trying to be more than just a trained killer." She said as she turned around to pay for all of stuff Elle brought.
Yelena raised her eyebrow and looked on some magazines behind her. "Well, then you were fooling yourself, because pain and suffering is every day and we are both still trained killer." She turned around to face her sister again. "Except I'm not the one that's on the cover of the magazines."
Natasha looked on her.
"I'm not the killer that little girls call their hero."
