Natasha was in her office as she was looking at the smartwatch that Romanoff sent her, to be honest, she didn't trust Romanoff at all, she wondered if the watch would tell him her location or be some kind of spy into her life gadget like that.
But she had checked everything to the best of her knowledge and she did not see any of that at all, so she was convinced for now that this watch wasn't dangerous.
But she was sure of one thing, it looked very expensive to say the least.
As Natasha was looking at the watch, something suddenly clicked in her head, she had seen this watch before, or at least a drawing of it, and from what she read in the manual, it was essential for all agents to wear one while on a mission.
"Like I am ever going on any mission again" said Natasha to herself as she scoffed and she opened up her laptop and she put in the USB drive as she moved through the files to the one she was looking for and she opened it where she saw a drawing of the watch, she knew it, she had seen this watch before.
It was right here on her laptop screen, and the rest of the text was in Russian, which she could read, it was a bunch of information on the project.
Natasha was surprised to say the least, she could not believe that Romanoff had such important information on his laptop, and he did not even guard them with passwords or anything.
"Weird…" said Natasha to herself as she shook her head and she closed the tab and her laptop, she would figure out what to do later, but for now, she had already found out enough for today.
Natasha yawned as she stood up from her desk and she switched off the watch and she left it on her desk walked to the door as Dom just happened to be passing by and Natasha scoffed as she walked back into her office.
"Natasha wait, we need to talk" said Dom as Natasha stopped and she looked at him.
"What is it? What do you want?" asked Natasha as she really did not have time for this.
"Look, I know what you are thinking and I'm not going to ask you about your business trip or whatever, or anything else, I want us both to talk about Joy, that's all" said Dom.
"What about Joy, isn't she sleeping right now?" asked Natasha.
"She is, but don't act like that Natasha, you know that we need to talk" said Dom.
"Okay, I'm all ears, start talking" said Natasha.
"We should behave like enemies in front of Joy, she notices every single action of ours, so we need to behave like adults" said Dom.
"I don't know what you are talking about, I do act like an adult, but I don't know about you, do you Mr. White?" asked Natasha.
"You see Natasha, that's what I'm talking about, that" said Dom.
"I don't get you" said Natasha as she scoffed.
"Look for one, can we at least try to greet each other when we see each other, and not behave like strangers?" asked Dom.
"Well I don't see anything there, just know that I won't initiate anything, because there is no need for it" said Natasha.
"Fine, I get it, and the next thing, we should try to talk more around Joy, she's starting to get aware of the facts that we aren't on good terms" said Dom.
"Well it's not like we were hiding it in the first place, or at least I wasn't" said Natasha.
"You are impossible Natasha, you know that" said Dom.
"Well I learn from the best Mr. White" said Natasha as she smiled.
"Joy will be fine, if she's confused, she will ask questions, as simple as that" said Natasha as she smiled at him and then she walked away as Dom sighed, see this was why they could never sort out their differences, Natasha didn't want to communicate, as if it was that difficult to.
Dom thought back to what Natasha said, she said that she had learnt from the best, which was indirectly pointing to him… he started to think, was he actually impossible?
"I don't even know Natasha, fine" said Dom as he sighed and he walked in the direction of his room as he shook his head.
…
The next Monday.
"Alright children, be good, and don't play rough, we have fifteen minutes" said Jennifer in the noisy playground as all the children nodded as they ran to play.
"Joy do you want to go on the swings or the seesaw?" asked Clarita with a smile as she looked at Joy.
"Seesaw" said Joy as she giggled and she and Clarita ran to the seesaw when Joy caught sight of Ethan.
"Wait Clarita, I will be right back, I need to talk to Ethan" said Joy.
"Okay" said Clarita with a smile as Joy smiled and she ran to Ethan who was on the other side of the playground.
"Ethan" called Joy as Ethan turned to look at her and he sighed.
"Slow down dummy, what is it?" asked Ethan as he looked at Joy and she stopped running.
"I'm not a dummy, and hello" said Joy as she smiled and Ethan shook his head, school was supposed to be an escape, but here he was once again, babysitting Joy at school, he had no break.
"Mhmm hi" said Ethan.
"You are probably here to tell me that you made progress with step one didn't you?" asked Ethan as Joy shook her head.
"Well why not?" asked Ethan as he didn't get it.
"It's too hard, I don't know how to make them kiss" said Joy with a sad look on her face.
"I told you to be creative dummy, if anyone can make your parents kiss, it should be you" said Ethan.
"But I can't, they don't even walk next to each other, I can't get them both together, I don't know what to do" said Joy.
"Well sorry dummy, I can't help you with that, think, use that cute face of yours to get what you want" said Ethan.
"Either you get them to be together forcefully or without their knowledge, like I said, it's up to you, anyway, I am not going to babysit you today, I have things to do, see you" said Ethan as he walked away and Joy walked back to Clarita.
"Isn't that Ethan your neighbour?" asked Clarita.
"Yes he's Aunt Chloe's son, and he's also my friend" said Joy as she smiled.
"Why did you go and meet him then?" asked Clarita.
"Well I want to get my parents to fall in love with each other, and Ethan said he could help me and step 1 is to get them to kiss" said Joy.
"Oh like in the movies?" asked Clarita as she laughed.
"Yes like in the movies, but I don't know how to" said Joy as she sighed.
"But can't you just ask them to kiss directly?" asked Clarita as Joy shook her head.
"No they won't do it, they don't like each other, and I don't know why" said Joy.
"I don't know what to do" said Joy sadly.
"Oh, I am sorry Joy, I don't know what to say to help you" said Clarita.
"It's fine Clarita, it's not your fault" said Joy as she smiled.
"Oh wait, maybe we should ask the boys?" asked Clarita as Joy nodded.
"Prince, Leon, come here, we need your help" said Clarita as she called out to Prince and Leon who were playing soccer with the other boys as they ran to them.
"What's wrong?" asked Leon.
"Joy wants to get her parents to kiss but they won't, what does she do boys?" asked Clarita as Leon was thinking.
"It's easy, make them kiss by accident, either by tripping, so leave your toys out so they fall and kiss" said Prince as Leon frowned at him.
"Joy wants to get her parents to kiss and not hurt them Prince, you left your toys out yesterday and out mom tripped and fell, luckily she did not break her leg or else" said Leon as he shook his head.
"Whatever Leon, but I still say you have to make them kiss by accident, without them knowing, maybe without the toys Joy" said Prince happily.
"Hmm, okay, thank you Prince" said Joy as she smiled.
"Anytime Joy, Leon come on the other team is scoring goals" said Prince as he dragged Leon along with him and Clarita and Joy laughed.
"Don't worry Joy, everything will be fine" said Clarita as she looked at Joy and she smiled.
"Thank you Clarita, I know it will be fine" said Joy as she smiled.
"Let's go to the swings Joy" said Clarita.
"Okay" said Joy as she giggled and she followed after Clarita as they both giggled.
