Happy or not

Natasha closed the door to her room as she locked it and she walked down the hall. Today was Saturday, so she decided to go out to the gym today, she needed to get out of her room, since she and Alexi won the game yesterday, they were given three days off training, and it would seem that Romanoff was in a good mood so he gave everyone else off as well.

Natasha walked to the indoor gym as she switched on the lights, she was the only here, Natasha put her hair up into a little ponytail.

Natasha walked to the treadmill as she turned it on, she put on her headphones as she walked onto the treadmill, she pressed a button on her phone as she put it in her pocket and she began to walk slowly on the treadmill.

Natasha was deep in her many thoughts, thinking… about many things, so many things, there were thoughts about her life, her current one, about her past life, and about her family, everything was just so crazy that she needed a minute just to take it all in a breath.

And to top that off, she was still thinking of how she was going to make Igor pay for all his crimes, and yes, she was still on that, she was not going to give that up at all, not at all, even though she knew that Romanoff was trying to look out for her, but she did not want him so, all she wanted was for Igor to pay, and she would find that soon, she just needed more time.

Natasha increased the speed of the treadmill as she moved from walking slowly to steady jogging as she took steady breaths, and when she was comfortable with jogging, she increased the speed once again as she began to run at a stable pace.

Natasha closed her eyes as she did not notice when someone entered into the gym as she opened her eyes once again when she heard some noises and she slowed down the treadmill as she turned to see Alexi walking towards her.

"What?" asked Natasha as she removed her headphones and she hung them on her neck, she was annoyed right now.

"Good Morning to you too Natasha" said Alexi.

"Mhmm, Good morning" said Natasha as she replied and she continued walking.

"What are you doing here?" asked Natasha.

"I came here to work out" said Alexi.

"Right" said Natasha as she scoffed, she was not a baby, neither was she oblivious to see when someone was interested in her, the only problem she had here, was that she was not interested in Alexi at all.

"You got me, I came here to see you, Tatiana said that you were coming here to exercise" said Alexi.

"So you decide to follow me?" asked Natasha in annoyance.

"I wasn't following you per se" said Alexi.

"Do you have an answer to my question?" asked Alexi as he went straight to the point.

"Look, I told you already, I am married" said Natasha as she replied and she looked at Alexi as she continued walking, she did not want any sort of attachment, she had given up on that.

"Are you happy in your marriage?" asked Alexi as he could not see a wedding ring on Natasha's finger, he was sure that she was lying.

"Are you serious right now?" asked Natasha in disbelief as she stopped the treadmill and she got off it as she looked at Alexi, how could he ask her such a question?

"Do I look like I am joking?" asked Alexi.

"What in the… how can you ask me such a question?" asked Natasha as she wondered just what was wrong with him, she preferred it when he paid no attention to her at all, it was better than this nonsense display that he was showing her right now.

"It's just a question" said Alexi.

"You have no right to ask me such a question" said Natasha.

"Well you didn't answer your question, which means that it's a no" said Alexi as Natasha felt like giving him a blow right now, but she would not do that, he was spewing nonsense from his mouth right now.

"Whether I am happy in my marriage or not, that has nothing to do with you, it does not concern you at all, I am married if you think that I am not, well I am, I have a daughter, I am a married woman, and I will not break my vows at all, so just stop and pretend like this never happened" said Natasha as she did not like this at all, sure what she and Dom had was not considered a real marriage, but they were married under law, and she was not the kind of woman to break her vows, no matter how tough it was.

And this was why she really did not want to get involved with any man at all, if this was going to be the nonsense that she would be dealing with.

"You don't seem happy" replied Alexi as he did not look like he was going to stop.

"Look, I don't like pushy men, and I also don't like men who can't take a hint" said Natasha as she had had enough of this.

"The next time, you dare speak to me about this topic again, I will report you to the Commander for harassment" said Natasha as if Alexi even dared speak any more about this, she would give him a nice slap that would remind him that she was serious, she did not care if she would be punished at all.

"I hope that we have this all cleared up, and don't you even dare talk to me if it is not necessary" said Natasha as she scoffed and she turned around and walked out of the gym, Alexi had just ruined her entire day by being so stupid and pushy, Natasha did not even care at all, as long as he took the hint and left her alone.

Alexi sighed as he took the hint, he could tell that Natasha was angry, and he did not want to get into trouble with the Commander.

…

"Romanoff, what are you doing here?" asked Alisa as she looked at Romanoff who walked into her office.

"Well I came here to relax" said Romanoff as he smiled.

"What did you say to Igor?" asked Alisa as she looked at Romanoff carefully.

"I told you, we only have a very nice, friendly chat, and he will not be bothering you or anyone else here again" said Romanoff as he smiled as Alisa did not like the sound of that at all.

"Did you kill him?" asked Alisa in carefulness as Romanoff laughed.

"Oh what a vivid imagination you have Alisa, kill him? I wish that I could, not that bastard is still alive, breathing and kicking, unfortunately, but I told him some things that should keep him quiet" said Romanoff as he smiled and Alisa still did not trust Romanoff at all.

"Anyway, enough about this, what is on the timetable for the next training?" asked Romanoff as Alisa just looked at him.

"Computer training" replied Alisa.

"Wonderful, they will do that on Tuesday" said Romanoff as he smiled.

"Tuesday?" asked Alisa in confusion.

"Yes, I gave them a three day break after they played laser tag very beautifully" said Romanoff as he smiled.

"They played laser tag?" asked Alisa in surprise.

"Yes" replied Romanoff with a smile.

"They are not hurt?" asked Alisa.

"Not at all, Natasha and her teammate won" said Romanoff as he smiled and Alisa could tell that he was proud of her.

"Anyway, I have to go now, take care Alisa" said Romanoff as he walked out of Alisa's office as she wondered why he always went and came with the wind.

…

Natasha was angry, very angry, why were people like this? No why were some men like this? Just so unnecessarily pushy, Natasha said some men, because she knew that not all men were like this.

Natasha was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a knock on her door and she walked to her door to open it as Romanoff walked in and she closed the door.

"What is wrong with you devochka (girl)?" asked Romanoff as he could see the frown on her face, she was not happy at all.

"Nothing" said Natasha as she sighed, she did not want to tell Romanoff what happened, she knew he would overreact and confront Alexi, and she had already warned him herself.

"I don't believe you" said Romanoff.

"Did someone bother you?" asked Romanoff as Natasha kept quiet.

"Let's see… Vicki?" asked Romanoff as Natasha said nothing.

"Alexi?" asked Romanoff as Natasha sighed.

"What did he do?" asked Romanoff.

"Nothing, I already handled it, he just annoyed me that's all" said Natasha as she sighed.

"I think he did more than annoy you devochka (girl), you look agitated" said Romanoff.

"I said that it is nothing Romanoff, it's nothing, leave it like that, why are you here anyway?" asked Natasha as she could not handle this right now, she was already in enough a bad mood, and she did not want Romanoff adding to that.

"Alright devochka (girl), fine if you say so, just know that if anyone is bothering you, you can tell me, and I will handle them" said Romanoff.

"I don't need you to handle anything for me Romanoff, like I said, I can take care of myself, you are not my father" said Natasha as Romanoff just gave her a smile.

"Alright devochka (girl), whatever you say" said Romanoff as he smiled.

"Why are you here anyway?" asked Natasha.

"I wanted to come and check on you, but seeing that you are in a bad mood already as it is, I will leave you be" said Romanoff as he did not waste another second here as he walked out of her room and he closed the door.

Natasha sighed, she did not mean to sound that mean to Romanoff, she did not mean to speak to him like that, but she was just so irritated, she knew that he meant well, and she wanted to apologize to him.

Natasha just sighed as she walked to sit on her bed, her whole day was ruined just because of the nonsense that Alexi pulled this morning, she was just so angry.

Natasha decided that she would apologize to Romanoff later, she knew that he was upset with the way that she spoke to him, even though he did not show it.

…

"Alright, so today, we are going to take a short interlude from normal training" said Romanoff as they were all lined up in front of him, in a room filled with many computers, different from their usual training ground setting.

"For those of you who listen to classical music, you will know that a interlude is a short break, but regardless we are not in music class right now" said Romanoff as a man walked into the room that they were all in.

"This is Anton, our IT expert" said Romanoff as he pointed to the dark haired man who was holding a laptop.

"He is the best of the best, and he is here today, to teach you all some basic knowledge on computers" said Romanoff as he really hated computers, technology was not his strong suite.

"You will learn how to use a computer if you don't already know how to use one, how to unhide hidden files, recover deleted files from a system and also how to hack a phone or laptop to some degree, basic knowledge that you all as agents have to know, but regardless, you don't have to be an expert in it, some people like me, prefer to leave technology behind and fight the good old way, but it Is still good to have this knowledge" said Romanoff.

"Alright, I have said all that I need to say, today you will work with Anton, and tomorrow we return to normal training" said Romanoff.

"If any of you want to hone your computer skills and learn more, Anton will be available to teach you in the afternoons from 4pm-5pm" said Romanoff.

"I am done speaking now, you all go on, and enjoy it or not" said Romanoff.

"You are dismissed, see you tomorrow morning, bright and early" said Romanoff.

"Thank you Commander" said all of them as Romanoff walked away and he signalled Anton to take over.

"Alright hello everyone, we are going to start with basic computer knowledge, how to unzip and zip a file" said Anton as they nodded their heads.
