Chapter 4: Home
I let out a the breath I was holding as we land on the hidden runway that S.H.I.E.L.D. owns. I try to mentally prepare for the next six+ months trying to deal with my idiot partner at all hours of the day. The dark blue SUV filled with our "stuff" pulls up and the three of us settle into a silence.
"You two will be settling in so try to create a minor ruckus. It will cause for Irmuska to come out and see who you is moving in. Tasha…" Coulson elaborates. I try to focus But being back in Budapest brings back some not so pleasant memories.
The first time I came to Budapest was one of my first missions in the Red Room. Inara and I were sent out to assassinate one of the Hungarian ambassadors who was interested in creating super soldiers. We were only 15 and the учителя told us we had to seduce the ambassador. In order to protect Inara, I was undercover as the one to seduce him. It was my first time and I killed him immediately afterwards. Every girls dream, I think bitterly.
I let out a quiet sniffle and snap back to reality. Coulson gives me a look and returns to elaborating the mission. I remain quiet the rest of the trip, until I see we pull into a dusty apartment complex.
The boys work to unload the packages in the SUV while I go up to our apartment. I subtly look for cameras, microphones, and anything else that would be unusual in an apartment. Finding nothing, I return downstairs to help the boys unload.
As I open the door to leave, I see a young girl walking out through the hall. She has blue eyes and brown hair. I gasp as I notice the uncanny similarities to Inara like her hair and figure. Walking away shakily, I hear a voice shout "Natalia Romanova Volkov! Get back here мой ребенок."
Upon hearing that name, I dart down to the car and lock myself in while they are loading boxes upstairs. I try to contain the rising panic in my chest until I hear a knock on the window.
"Tasha, its Clint. Please let me in," He says pleading with his eyes. The look causes me to unlock the door and let him in.
"What happened up there Tasha? You came down looking broken." He poses a simple question that has such a complicated answer. I've told him some information about what has happened when I was with the Red Room.
"Clint, I think моя сестра is alive." I answer before breaking down from all of the stress of being in Budapest and the little girl with my name.
"What do you mean your sister? You are an only child Tasha." Clint ponders holding me in his arms.
"Remember the girl I told you about in the Red Room? We were so close that I considered us sister." I reply regaining control of my emotions.
"So you think she is alive? And more importantly you think she is here?" He responds trying to understand what has happened. I nod letting him know that he has all the information.
Once I calm down, we both head inside hand in hand showing that we are a "couple". When we reach the door we are stopped by a voice.
"Excuse us, We would like to introduce ourselves." A woman with green eyes and brown hair says holding the hand of the small child I saw earlier. "I am Irmuska Virág and this is my daughter Nadia."
"Nice to meet you, I am Boyra Дороков and this is my wife Anastasia." Clint replies as we shake hands with the women.
"Wonderful! I must ask, Anastasia, have we met before?" Irmuska questions. She reminds me an awful lot like Inara from her poise to speech pattern. But the main reminder of Inara is the striking green eyes almost the same shade as emeralds.
"I'm afraid not," I say quietly. A downfall of playing a trophy wife is that I have to be a quiet, scared, pet instead of the strong and kickass woman I am.
"Well I am afraid we must be off but it was lovely to meet you both." She declares before darting away from us. I let out a breath thinking of how hard this could really turn out to be.
