With a flick of Bruce's wrist, Natalia had disappeared. This makes the guards angry and pull their swords out. Clint loads his arrow.
"You know how to fight?" Clint asks Bruce.
"Yes." Bruce answers, summoning his own sword.
Clint grins. Two guards fight him. Clint found this easy. Both of them were dead in under two minutes. Bruce was struggling slightly with the other three. Together, they defeat all the guards and summon back Natalia. Natalia was relieved to see they were fine. She runs over and hugs Clint close.
"I thought I was going to loose you." She whispers.
"That shall never happen." Clint promises.
The night was long and cold. Clint kept an arm around Natalia to keep her warm. He wondered if this was falling asleep with her. Probably not. Natalia woke at dawn. She thought it would be nice to prepare breakfast for them. But then a thought came into her mind. One, she didn't know how to actually hunt. Two, she didn't know what was poisonous and what was safe. She decided to wait until Clint or Bruce awake. There was movement beside her. She turns to see that Clint is waking up.
"Morning." Natalia whispers.
"Morning, Nat." Clint says, getting up. He offers her a hand, which she takes.
"I was going to get breakfast, but decided not to since I have no clue what to get." Natalia says.
Clint chuckles and walks with her. "Here." He says, picking up some blueberries.
"There not poisonous?" Natalia asks.
"Not one bit." Clint promises.
"Thank you." She says.
Clint smiles in response.
They were practically close to the mountain. It was just a couple miles off. Natalia was very antsy about it.
"Bruce, why can't you just use your magic to take us there?"
"Because, Natalia, it would require a wish."
She groans and both men chuckle at her childishness.
Both Ivan and Alexei were very upset. They wished that Natalia was home. The wedding could happen. Alexei could have children. But that won't happen any time soon. Not with her off.
"We have to do something!" Ivan says.
"We'll wait." Alexei says.
"Have you gone mad?" Ivan asks.
"No. But when she gets back, we can charge Clinton for kidnapping her." Alexei says.
"Now that is a good idea." Ivan grins.
Sorry, guys. I've had a major migraine and a bunch of big projects. Please R&R
