And that's why I love fall @CrystalYoungB
"Yeah yeah whatever."

She huffed and went off to her thinking spot.

She hated this. She didn't want to go on a mission with her. She didnt even like being in the same room as her half the time.

Ugh Steve. I hate you for this.

She snorted.

"Only because it is never /just/ training with you! You ALWAYS have to prove yourself. Always have to try and be the best."

She sneered.

"How about for once you stay out of /my/ way? And we can pretend we worked things out and go back to ignoring and staying away from eachother."

It would work.

Ugh. It didnt.

When dismissed she got up and walked out ahead of Crystal. Grumbling under her breath.

When out of range of Steve she spoke up.

"Thanks for that. Now you got us in a situation Neither of us wants."
Nat turned and said to her.

Natasha sat in the chair and listened to Steve lecture them. She knew better than to protest. If she did he would only make it worse.

Until she heard what he had planned. A mission. TOGETHER?! That was not fair!

She huffed and glared at Steve.

Crystal tried to interject and for once she hoped
January 18, 2025 at 5:00 AM
She looked at Steve as he spoke and sat up.
Natasha sighed and slowly got up off the ground.
Pushing past Crystal to follow Steve out of the gym.

Giving a glare to Hawk as she passed.

Of course they're in trouble now.

of breath.

"Okay. I give. I'm finished."

She managed to whisper out. Still breathing hard.

"You win." She looked at Crystal.

Truth be told, Nat was afraid of Phoenix and anything to do with her. Including her powers. The last time she had control...let's just say Natasha is still trying to erase the red from her ledger.

A groan and a grunt fell from her lips as Crystal tackled her to the ground.

Natasha was panting out

for any reason. And Crystal had no problem using Frostie.
January 18, 2025 at 3:49 AM
It was a repeat of the red room. Back and forth between them.

Except they had both improved since then. They were equally paced, equally matched, stronger, faster, just better than before.

It was frustrating beyond belief. Natasha wanted just once to prove herself. But she didnt like using Phoenix
January 18, 2025 at 3:49 AM
She launched herself at Crystal for a torso hit. Kicking with strength.
January 18, 2025 at 1:29 AM
She knew this would be a real fight. And everyone around would watch. Natasha had to prove she was good enough.
She needed to beat Crystal.

She blocked the hit to the face easily enough but didnt catch the foot attack until it was too late.
Natasha stumbled backwards but managed to stay standing.

said. Getting into position physically and mentally.

She so wanted to complain and ask to trade but she knew Steve wouldnt go for it. So she just accepted the fact she would have to train with Crystal.
January 17, 2025 at 5:22 AM
Ready for any type of training... except that.

She took a deep breath and sighed. It had been a while since they had to train together.

She didnt like training with an audience..it brought too many memories of the red room.

She nodded and looked over towards Crystal.

"Ready when you are." She

up.

She felt sorry for Hawk. Nat knew Crystal would use Frosties powers on him.

"So what are we doing then?" She asked looking at Steve. Ready for any type of training.
January 17, 2025 at 4:40 AM
"Aww next time I'll go easy on you!" She quipped back with a chuckle.

While steve spoke Nat started warming up a little.
Small stretches, loosening up a bit. Away from Crystal. She really didnt want to train with her today.

When Steve said for Hawk and Crystal to train hand to hand Natasha looked
January 17, 2025 at 4:40 AM
The kiss to the cheek instantly made her feel more calm.
"You and me both. I seriously missed you. And pizza." She laughed.
January 16, 2025 at 7:23 AM
complaining.
She smiled at Steve as a Hello and looked at Crystal. A small nod of a Hello.

Just to be polite.

Though....she knew it wouldn't last.
January 16, 2025 at 7:20 AM
Only interacting when they absolutely had to. Unfortunately today was one of those days. She knew she was training with Her, steve and Hawk. She braced herself before entering the training room. Walking in with a smile.

"What, afraid I'll beat your ass again Barton?" Natasha chuckled hearing Clints

top of her class.

The problem? Frostbite. She was constantly an relentlessly pitted against her.
Her superiors wanted a show. Which they got when Phoenix came out. It was a sight to see.

In the present Phoenix wasnt around much.
Luckily.
Natasha an Crystal still kept their distance from eachother.
January 16, 2025 at 7:20 AM
Complicated was definitely an understatement.

Crystal did learn ballet and seduction as well as the best widows. Which caused even more tension between Natasha and her.

Natasha was the best widow. Excelled in everything. When they introduced the Winter Solider program she even shot to the
