y/n's POV
"alright kid, you need to focus at the target. Your feet need to be apart so you can aim more." Clint said showing me the correct way to aim the target in using bow and arrow. I aim closely and.... BULLSEYE! "YESSS!!!" I high five Clint and Lila. We both are the only one interested in archery while Cooper more in self defense which I'm good at.
Suddenly a sound of a bike approach the house. I try my best to get a clear vision of who is it since it's night time. The closer the bike, I couldn't hide my smile. I put down the bow and arrow and run towards the figure. I hug her tightly I let small sobs at her chest. It's natalia, my sister. My big sis. After a month, at last I get to see her.
"Natalia are you okay, did you hurt?" I ask checking her face, arm or anywhere that possible. Natasha chuckle and give me the forehead touch. "hey malyshka I'm fine, I'm good no worries." I smile and pulls out from her. I smack her arm few times.
Natasha's POV
"you idiot why you didn't call me! It's been a month. A short text at least should be nice Nat!" uh oh she called me Nat now I'm in trouble. I gulp and pull her into a long hug. She stop smacking me. "I'm sorry malyshka. I really want to call you the moment I land but something happened." She pulls out from the hug and furrow her eyebrows. "is everything okay natalia? You want to talk about it?" she asked with a concern look.
We sit on the grass and silent for a moment. I was fidgeting my finger don't know how to say to her. She took my hand give me a squeeze. That's new. She always has a way to keep me calm. I take a deep breathe "Tony wants to have a party at the compound." I said and she just listen. "he invited you to tag along but apparently I still thinking because I still need to settle your documentations." she look me in the eyes. She gave me a blank reactions which I can't read. "I supposed to meet Fury tomorrow morning but since both me and Tony had a fight, I just stormed out the compound and here I am now." I continue.
She interlocking our hand and kiss the back of my hand before she say "well I'm a bit surprised the tin man wants to meet me that badly." she said and I laugh at her sarcasm. "how about this, you bring me meet the rest of the team especially the tin man and we both meet Fury and settle about me." she said in a calming tone. Damn how can she be so calm while I am so miserable right now. "natalia? Hey, you good?" I snap back to reality and she cups my face "it's okay natalia we do it together. That's what sisters do right? She ask and I nod. "what can I do without you malyshka. You always know what to say." she gives me a slight chuckle "well I take that as a compliment big sis."
"alright how about you pack now so we can have a long night ride to the compound?" I said and her eyes sparkle. She totally sprint out to her room. I shake my head looking at her excitement.
I sit there for another few moments until Clint took a place beside me. "Tony really gave you a headache this time huh?" I just laugh and give him a faint smile. "you knew him and being a Stark really give me a heart attack sometimes. He really insisted want me to bring y/n. I never see him this insist. He even not allow any I emphasize 'NOT ALLOW' any alcohol and random people to his party. Definitely just us." Clint gave a shocking look not buy anything I just said. "yep definitely not him. I think he loves this kid even though he never meet her yet. Like the kid even have a soft spot from Fury!" we both throw a fit cause it's damn true.
As soon we gather ourselves together, y/n come back with her backpack and casual clothes. I turn to Clint "we should go now" he raise his eyebrows "you will go by what Nat?" he asking me and I pointed to my bike. He smack my arm and went inside god knows why. I rub my arm and that little sis of me just help me by throwing a fit. Clint came back with a car keys. "Take it it's Tony btw. You did not just ride a bike with a kid. I will bring your bike later on don't worry." he insist bringing y/n by car.
I nod and give him a hug "thank you Clint for taking care of y/n while I'm not here. I owe you once." he let go of me "no problem Nat. Both of you are my responsibility now. I care about her like how I do to you." he gives me a reassuring squeeze on my shoulder.
y/n's POV
Clint then scrouch to my level and give me a warm hug. "Take care kid. I will miss having you here." I pull out from him "okay first of all it's not that we didn't meet at all hawkeye. Secondly you still owe me a sparring. Thirdly I want you to be at the party no buts!" I said and that gives him a chuckle.
"Sure kid, I won't miss your party and btw I have something for you. It's in the boot. Use it wisely okay." I nod put up promise hand.
We soon in the car and natasha starts to drive. After a long comfortable silent, I turn on the radio and my favourite song came out. (you can play don't give up on me by Andy grammer)
I just humming the first three parts of the song and natasha try to follow but she failed. When it comes to the chorus parts, I sing it loudly.
'Cause I'm not givin' up
I'm not givin' up, givin' up
No not yet
Even when I'm down to my last breath
Even when they say there's nothin' left
So don't give up on
I'm not givin' up
I'm not givin' up, givin' up
No not me
Even when nobody else believes
I'm not goin' down that easily
So don't give up on me
Natasha stunned of the lyrics and I swear I saw her tears. I take her free hand to hold and sing the last part of the song
I will fight
I will fight for you
I always do until my heart
Is black and blue
I give a squeeze. She looks at me giving a soft smile of hers before focusing back on the road.
We sang few more songs that she knows at least because don't want to let her gets sleepy.
"do you know English is not my main speaking language?" I ask making a small conversation. She had a shocked look on her face "SERIOUSLY??!!" I laugh at her reactions and nod. "I speak malay language. My parents basically from Malaysia but then we move to Manchester for business thing I'm not sure. Growing up there and here I am with you." I said. "wow malyshka you never fail to impress me." she said shaking her head.
"do you want to hear some of malay songs that I know?" I ask and she nods eagerly. I turn off the radio and open YouTube on my phone searching my favourite malay song. (you can play lagu kita by aizat amdan on Spotify)
I sing the second part and she tries to understand what is the song about.
Ku petik guitar akustik ini
Dengan harapan dia mendengar
Melodi indah yang ku cipta
Hanya untuk luahkan rinduku padanya
She can pick few words but still confused.
Dan aku terus menyanyi lagu ini untuk mu
Walau berjuta mendengar
Lagu ini hanya untuk mu
Arah hidup kita
Terkapai bintang di angkasa
Berkelip melukis cinta
T
erciptalah lagu kita
I sing the chorus part she enjoys the melody of the song.
"Wow the melody is nice. I love it. Make sure you show me the meanings of the song and teach me how to speak malay." she said and I nod sure.
We've been driving for few more hours and we arrive at a tall tower in the middle of New York City. I amaze at how beautiful the tower is from the outside.
Natasha drive through the garage and park at the empty spot. I swear to god there are dozens more of cars and bikes there. I bet most of it are Tony's.
When she turn off the engine, she turn to me. "you ready malyshka?" she ask me grabbing my hands. I take a deep breathe and nod "Ready."

English translation
My heart beat fast
I see you in the sky
The bright night accompany us
The wind blowing gently
I pluck my accoustic guitar
Hoping she'll listen to it
Sweet melody which I created
Just for me to tell you that I miss you
And I unhesitatedly
singing this song for you
Even millions listening it
This song is only meant for you
Our path of life
is reflected by the stars in the sky
Twinkling creating love
Thereby comes our song
Haaaa... Ooohhh... Haaa... Ooohh...
Haaaa... Ooohhh... Haaa... Ooohh...
Sweet melody which I created
Just for me to tell you that I miss you
And I unhesitatedly
singing this song for you
Even millions listening it
This song is only meant for you
Our path of life
is reflected by the stars in the sky
Twinkling creating love
Thereby comes our song
Thereby comes our song
Thereby comes our song
