Hello, readers! I have finally finished Chapter Two of this story! This is my first attempt at humor. Please let me know what you think. I know it's kind of bland, but I promise that there will be some better humor later on.

Natasha Higgins is my alter ego, so I would appreciate no bashing. Please let me know what you all think of this, and I will attempt to post more chapters.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Avengers, or Bourne Legacy. Since you tecnically can't own yourself, I don't own Natasha either. She is simply my attempt to explain how active my imagination is, and that I ocasionally have wishes that I lived in a world where my imaginings could come to life.


Chapter Two

Little Sisters and Layers Gum

Several hours later, Aaron pulled into a gas station and filled the tank. Then, he pulled into a parking space in front of the accompanying convenience store. Once the car was parked and turned off, he reached over and gently shook Natasha's shoulder to awaken her. Slowly, she stirred and stretched.

"Hey," Aaron said with a smile. "We stopped for gas; do you want anything before we go?"

"A drink and a snack sound good, thank you," Natasha sat up and handed Aaron his jacket back. "Your jacket makes a very comfortable pillow."

"Thanks," Aaron replied with a chuckle. "Come on, let's go in. And don't forget-,"

"I know, Riel and James Garcia from Charlotte," Aaron nodded and the two of them climbed out of the car. As soon as they were in the store, Natasha went straight to the refrigerators full of drinks that lined two walls. Her grey-green eyes searched the shelves for a while before she suddenly smiled, opened one of the doors and retrieved a Dr Pepper Ten. Aaron decided to go for a Coke.

The next order of business was a snack. Natasha didn't take nearly as long to locate what she wanted. Right near the front of the store, she grabbed a bag of cashews and two bags of MnMs. One bag was of Peanut Butter MnMs, and the other was Mint MnMs.

"Wanna share?" Natasha asked, holding up the bags.

"Tell you what; we'll split the MnMs, and each get Cashews." Natasha nodded eagerly at this suggestion, and Aaron selected a second bag of nuts from the rack.

When they reached the check-out counter, Natasha let out a little squeal and snatched a pack of strawberry Layers gum from the rack and added it to their small collection of snacks. "Really, Riel? Do you have to get gum too?"

"Come on, James! I'm almost out. I'll need it on the way. Please?" Natasha placed her palms together and flashed Aaron a smile accompanied with puppy-dog eyes.

Aaron sighed. "Alright, fine." Natasha sent him another smile as he turned to pay for their things.

The cashier was smiling. "Don't worry about the gum," he said, "I've got it." Aaron tried to protest, but he was quickly interrupted. "I have a little sister too. I know what it's like. You can never resist when they use that look. Just pay for the snacks and the drinks. I've got the gum." Aaron and Natasha thanked him, and then returned to the car.

Once they were in and on the road, Aaron said, "Since we went through so much trouble for it, why don't you tell me why you wanted that gum so much."

"Like I said, I'm almost out. It's good for keeping me awake and distracted if I get bored. Plus, it's good at sating my hunger for a little bit so that I can actually wait until the meals to eat."

"Oh, okay," Aaron was only able to maintain looking at the road for a few moments before he glanced over at Natasha and grinned.

"What?" she asked.

"Nothing. Will you open my nuts for me?"

"Sure," Natasha opened up one of the bags of cashews and set it in the space in front of the cup holders so that Aaron could get them easily. She then opened her own bag and began snacking and taking occasional sips of her drink.
