"мама,мама you're on T.V." I point at the T.V. excited and she pulls me into a hug.
"Thats right малютка (little one). Oh I love you so much Anya."
"I love you too мама" Wet tears fall onto my lap and I raise my hand to her face trying to wipe away the tears.
"Don't cry мама, все будет хорошо. (everything will be alright)."
"I have to go soon Anya" I tighten my hold on her.
"Don't go mommy please don't go" I bury my face into my shoulder willing myself not to cry.
"You know I have to go дорогая (Sweetheart), I don't want you to be in any danger."
I begin to protest and say "But I'll be safe with you"
She shakes her head softly and kiss the top of my head.
"Be a good girl for me and do everything Ileana says, okay?"
I nod and throw my arms around her. "Come back soon"
"I promise I will. Now do you know where to go if you're in any danger."
"The Avenger tower with Thor, Tony, Steve, Bruce, and Clint. but don't go unless i'm in any danger."
Tear fill my eyes once more and I plead "Don't go мама. I'll be a good girl I promise and I'll behave."
She wipes away my tears and puts my turtle, Stanley under my arm.
"Go to bed дорогая"
She pushes my bangs out of my face and I say "Will you sing?"
She nods her head and says "Only for you, Come on lie down in bed"
I do as she says and she starts to sing.
"You are my sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
The other night, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away."
My eyes begin to drop and she kisses the top of my head.
"You are my sunshine, Anya"
1 month later TIME:11PM
I gasp up awake as smoke begins to fill my lungs.
"ANYA? ANYA?! WHERE OUR YOU"
I run out of my room and begin to yell "Ileana"
I jump scared when I feel a hand on my shoulder.
"We have to run Anya someone here"
She drags me out of the house and into the corn fields.
"Run Anya and don't ever look back"
"Bu-"
"We don't have time Anya, Promise no matter what you hear you won't stop running."
I stay quiet.
"Promise me Anya"
"I promise Ileana"
She shoves me forward. "Go, GO!"
I run far enough, where the people can't see me and begin to listen.
A man grabs ileana and yells "WHERE IS THE GIRL"
"I don't know what you're talking about I live alone"
"Stop playing stupid with me, where is the girl?"
"You must have the wro-"
The man shakes ileana and yells "WHERE IS SHE"
Ileana spits in his face and says "You can spend all your life searching for her but you'll never find her"
The man yells in frustration and-
BANG BANG
My eyes widen and Ileana falls to the ground like a rag doll, all the life leaving her eyes and a bullet lodged in her heart.
No, No! I back away slowly tripping over my own feet and whimper.
"Do not let that girl escape, FIND HER!"
I quickly get back up and start to run.
I run into the urban part of town when some cars come out on the street.
"THERE SHE IS, GET HER!"
I slide down on the sidewalk and jump into one of the sewers only big enough for me to fit.
The man starts to jump around mad as the others try shoot at the sewer opening.
"Lets go she has no where to run, we will find her in no time" and with that they leave.
I sigh in relief and look down at Stanley.
I say to the stuffed turtle "Well I guess it's just you and me now"
My name is Anya Romanoff. I am 6 years old and the daughter of the Black Widow.
I shake my head at the thought. No, my name is lucy and I am just a normal girl trying to get on a train to Manhattan to see my grandmother.
The person selling tickets looks down at me and asks "Where you headed?"
"Manhattan"
"That's very far from Texas"
I open a secret pocket in Stanley stomach and pull out a stack of money.
"Will this cover it"
I sit down in a seat waiting for the train to take off. It's been a month since i've seen my mom.
She tells me now that she works with good guys to protect me but she still keeps me hidden.
She says its not safe, It seems like nothing is safe anymore.
I sigh and look out of the window humming You are my sunshine.
~5 trains, and 2 subways later~
I look up at the Avenger tower, it's even bigger than my mom said it would be.
I go to open the doors to only find them locked.
"I am sorry but you are not permitted to go in there"
I look around and find no one. "Who there?"
"My apologies, my name is Jarvis. I am a c-"
"Well do me a favor and shut up"
I pull out a bobby pin and try to pick lock the doors.
"Well may I say you are quiet rude."
I mimic his voice and say " Well may I say you are quiet annoying"
I finally open the doors and simile in triumph.
"Young girl you are not aloud to go in there"
"Yeah were kinda passed that point Jarvis you should keep up"
"You need to get out of here now…"
I ignore him and find the electrical box.
"Are you even listening to me?!"
"I'm all-ears Jarvis"
"As I was saying it is very rude…"
I quickly start to hack into the system and try to find a way to turn him off.
"What are you do-"
His voice goes dead and I smirk .
"So much for a security system"
I look around and start to conclude that no one is here-
ZZZ-Zzzz-ZZzzz-hngGGggh-Ppbhww- zZZzzzZZ
I jump over the couch for cover when I realize its just a snore.
I look over and see a person with long blonde hair hugging a box of pop tarts .
He must be Thor. He perfectly fits the description of all the stories my mom would tell me.
I eye the box of poptarts when my stomach rumbles.
Well I don't think they would mind me eating some of their food.
I grab a chair and jump on it opening one of the cabinets.
On the very top shelf there's a box of strawberry pop tarts.
Oh course it would be on the top shelf. I stand on my tippy toes and reach my arm out as far as I can to reach the box.
almost there, and then i'm falling. oh poop
Crash
Thor stands up quickly and yells "Who's there?"
His back faces me so I quickly hide in one of the bottom cabinets.
I look through a hole and see him relax when he sees nothing.
He walks into the kitchen and picks up the fallen pop tarts.
"WAIT" I pause for a second and say "I'm hungry"
He turns my way and bends down. "There is no need to hide little one, you can come out."
I come out of my hiding spot and his mouth opens wide.
"Natasha?" he stutters
I can see why he thought I was my mom, I mean I looked exactly like her.
I don't answer him but I do take the pop tarts out of his hands start munching on them happily.
"Jarvis" Thor calls out again "Jarvis"
"He was annoying me so I turned him off"
Thor looks at me surprised and laughs.
His face becomes serious and says "What happened to you"
I shrug my shoulders and say "I don't know. I was attacked so I ran here"
He nods and say "The other guys will be back with shawarma if you are still hungry"
I nod and say "Thank you"
He smiles and says "How did you turn into a child?"
I laugh but don't get the time to answer as the elevator bings.
"The guys" as Thor says do have a bag of shawarma.
They suddenly look at me in shock and Tony drops the bag to the floor.
I smile. Oh well more for me.
I know I shouldn't be starting another story but I couldn't help myself. This idea just popped in my head and I knew I had to write it. So I hope you enjoyed it and if you did please leave a review. :)
