Natasha walked past the cafeteria as she was looking for the vending machine, she was confused, because she had never seen a vending machine around here ever, but well she kept on looking.
"Oh Tatiana, gosh, you really do have a sweet tooth" said Natasha to herself as she laughed and she shook her head, if you told her that she would go out looking for a vending machine to buy Tatiana's some potato chips tonight she would have just laughed at you and called you crazy, but well here she was.
Not like she had any other choice, Tatiana were very cute and well Natasha could not help but not say no, it made Natasha think that maybe she was digressing the feeling of missing her baby to Tatiana who reminded her of her baby with her cuteness.
"Finally found it" said Natasha as she finally found the vending machine that she was looking for in a corner as she turned to get this whole thing over with.
…
Igor sighed as he threw his cigarette away into a bin, it was a shame, it looked like Romanoff wasn't here at all, and he had come here to see him, even though they had nothing to speak about, but their superiors were asking all sort of questions on why he had refused to see them.
Igor was walking down the hall in his own thoughts when he saw someone who looked familiar, way too familiar as if he knew her from somewhere, so he proceeded to make sure that his eyes were not deceiving him.
Natasha bent down as she picked up the bag of potato chips and she held it in her right hand as she smiled and she stood up when she heard her phone ding and she removed it out of her pocket as she checked her phone, she had a message, and it happened to be from Tatiana.
"Have you got my chips yet?" read the message as Natasha scoffed and she shook her head, if she did not know any better, she would say that Tatiana was addicted to these chips.
Natasha just laughed as she did not even bother to reply to the message, she would see Tatiana soon after all.
Natasha proceeded to check if she had any other messages when she paused and she looked up from her phone around the empty hall that she was in, it was weird, she felt like someone was watching her, but it was clear that there was no one here expect for her.
"Weird…" said Natasha to herself as she looked around, she could promise you that something told her that she was being watched, but her eyes were seeing something else.
Natasha just shrugged off her thoughts as she put her phone back in her pocket as she started to walk back in the direction where she came from.
Natasha was thinking to herself when suddenly as she was about to make a turn to the right, she heard the sound of footsteps as she could promise you that she was not making any of this up.
Natasha just decided to go on and just get back to her room, because it would seem that her mind was starting to play tricks on her, but in the same moment as she was walking, she was not paying any attention to where she was going as she happened to bump into someone.
"Oh sorry" said Natasha as she took a step back.
"Ivanka…" said Igor to himself as he could not believer his eyes, he was not seeing things, not at all, he could recognize the red hair anyway, and well her eyes, and her face.
"Sorry for bumping into you, I wasn't paying attention" said Natasha as she looked up at the man who was just staring at her as she wondered if he was angry,
"Who are you?" asked Igor as he snapped out of his thoughts.
"Natasha" replied Natasha casually.
"Hmm" said Igor as he seemed to know what was going on here, of course this was not Ivanka, she was long gone and dead, this was her daughter Natasha, no wonder she looked younger, and there was a difference, they did look similar, but Natasha had a more rounded face than Ivanka.
"What is your mother's name?" asked Igor as he wanted to confirm something, if this was really Ivanka's daughter, then just what was she doing here in this place.
"And why do you want to know?" asked Natasha as she narrowed her eyes at Igor, just who the heck asked for her mother's name just like that out of the blue.
Igor laughed, she was feisty, he liked that, reminded him of Ivanka already."
"Excuse me" said Natasha as she was out of here, this man was crazy, and she could smell the scent of cigarettes from him, she didn't like the strong smell of cigarettes that he had on him.
"Ivanka Mikhailovna Mikhailova" said Igor as he smiled and he counted down the seconds it would take for Natasha to walk back here in his head.
Natasha paused as she stopped walking once she heard her mother's name come out of his mouth, this man knew her mother, he knew her.
"You know my mother?" asked Natasha as she turned around to look at Igor as he smiled, he knew that she would come back.
"Know would be an understatement, I worked with her for many years" replied Igor as he smiled as Natasha paused as she thought this through, this man… who was he?
"So you are Ivanka's daughter" said Igor as he whistled, Ivanka did good by his standards, her daughter was… beautiful, she got all the good genes.
Igor was finally privileged with meeting Natasha, he had never seen her all these years because Romanoff told him that if he even dared try to look for Natasha, he would end him, and well Igor didn't want that dog on his tail, so he let her be.
"Who are you?" asked Natasha as she had never seen this man before, but he seemed to know her.
"Igor Nikolaevich Ivanov" replied Igor as he walked to Natasha.
"A pleasure to meet you" said Igor as he took Natasha's right hand and he kissed the back of her hand with a smile as Natasha pulled her hand from his hold.
"Hmm" replied Natasha, one look at this man, and she could tell that he was trouble, sure he had two eyes and he did not look very rough, but he felt like he was.
"Wow, Ivanka did good while making you" said Igor as he smiled.
"You got all her good genes, and none of the bad genes of your father" said Igor as he smiled and Natasha frowned.
"That man was a pain in the…" said Igor as he paused, he seemed to forget that he was talking to that man's daughter.
Natasha clenched her fist, just who did this man think that he was? He was even insulting her father.
"Well please excuse me Mr. Igor, it's late now, and I have to get back to my room" said Natasha.
"Alright, I understand, and please just call me Igor, a pretty lady like you can call me anything" said Igor as he smiled.
"Hmm" said Natasha as she just turned around and walked away, she did not like this man one bit.
"Interesting, so this Is who you have been hiding Romanoff" said Igor to himself as he chuckled, now it made sense why Romanoff pushed through with him being suspended from training the new recruits, it was all because of her.
"Who knew that you could play dirty?" asked Igor to himself as he smiled and he brought out another cigarette as he lit it and he smoked.
"Well because you want to protect her so much, I will make sure she is on my side, just to see you suffer" said Igor as he laughed, the game was on now.
…
Natasha kept on thinking as she walked back to her room, that man, that Igor guy, something about him made Natasha feel uneasy, and it was different from the feelings she felt with Romanoff, well because she knew that he would never kill her, but that man, there was something off about him, and his friendliness did not fool Natasha one bit.
He even had the audacity to speak ill of her father right in front of her face, Natasha wondered if there were others like Romanoff who knew her mother and who knew her as well? She wondered what gave it away? Did they really look that alike or what??
Natasha snapped out of her thoughts as she turned back, she still had a delivery to make.
Natasha knocked on the first door on the right as it opened quickly and Natasha smiled as she gave Tatiana her chips.
"There you go" said Natasha as she smiled.
"Oh thank you, thank you Natasha, you are a life saver" said Tatiana as she smiled and Natasha laughed.
"Alright, alright, but please try to take a break from eating too many sweets" said Natasha.
"I will, I will" said Tatiana as she looked at the bag of chips like it was gold as Natasha just laughed helplessly.
"Goodnight Tatiana" said Natasha as she smiled.
"Goodnight Natasha, goodnight" said Tatiana as she smiled and she closed the door as Natasha walked away to her own room.
