Disclaimer: I do not own RED or any of its amazing characters.

A/N: Hello everyone. This is my first RED fan fiction ever! I loved the two films so much I really couldn't help writing, so I've created a series of 200 word drabbles that will hopefully be in chronological order. I want to thank Tatty Ted for encouraging me to write something for this fandom, so I'm going to dedicate this to her :) Please take the time to review if you would be so kind, and let me know what you think? Enjoy :) x

Chapter 1

TRAVELLING THROUGH

- Ivan sees Victoria for the first time -

His tired eyes fell on her as soon as she entered the conflict zone; her hair as wild as her gaze as she fired at the enemy lines. Her lips were pulled into a queer smile as her fingers lightly pressed the trigger of the gun in her arms. She aimed with ease and killed with a grace he had never known, fleeing across the street to the aid of a fellow Englishman with the few bandages that she possessed. He watched as she worked quickly; her fingers weaving the intricate art of healing. A bullet caught her arm, but she did not waver.

In that moment he knew she had stolen his heart.

Ivan, the Russian force of indestructible determination, stood transfixed with awe and admiration for a lone English agent. He waited; his own gun positioned and ready to fire. She had been his target all along. But now, now that he had seen her; he could not bring himself to do it. She was like him; fierce, loyal, brave... but a killer nonetheless. They may only be passing through, but in his heart Ivan prayed that this would not be the last he saw of Victoria Winslow.
