Natasha’s eyes snapped open and for a moment she was a girl agin. The frigid Russian winter rattled the glass in the windows, the entire Manor creaking with each frosty bellow. She lay in one of the twenty-eight thin spindly cots, her right arm curling next to her ear and over the crown of her head, the chill of the manacle biting into her thin wrist . The breathing of the other twenty-seven girls was barely audible, careless sounds having long been beaten out of them.
For a moment she was back in the Red Room, back to unspeakable horrors trussed up as lessons, back to placing every thought and emotion into a tidy drawer in the back of her mind, back to having an indescribable yawning ache in her chest that she learned years later was yearning, yearning for freedom and her own autonomy. The yearning to do what she wanted when she wanted without having a handler breathing down her neck.
But then she realized her wrist didn't ache and the bed was soft and warm and the body groggily rolling over wasn't that of a young girl.
”Y’all right?” a bit of midwestern twang snuck into Bruce’s voice as he blinked sleep from his eyes.
She brought a hand to her face and scrubbed her palm over her mouth and nose, nodding her head.
”Ya wanna talk about it?”
She shook her head hand still clasped over her mouth.
”You wanna cuddle?” he asked opening up his arms.
Natasha nodded and scooted into his chest, the smell of warm skin, sleep and soap did more to calm her nerves than anything else she has ever found.
