--------------------------------------
"Hey, isn't that bad?" Leona asked in a serious voice as she watched the meteor enter Earth's atmosphere.
"You have nothing to worry about, the meteor will slow down when it enters the planet, we are far from the fall area too." Natasha responded calmly.
"Woow! This is amazing! How long will it take him to fall?" Adrian screamed excitedly as he climbed a tree to get a better view, thanks to Natasha's training, he managed to climb the tree relatively easily.
Seeing how excited Adrian was. Leona manages to relax a little, but she did not let her guard down, when she laid eyes on the meteorite, she felt that something very bad was going to happen, and generally, her instincts always hit the bullseye. "Natasha, how long does it take for a meteor to fall to earth?"
"Depends on the size. But with that size it must be 60 seconds." Natasha responded while looking at the meteor falling at high speed, realizing that the speed continues to increase, she begins to feel a bad feeling about it.
"Adrian! Come to my side now!" Leona screamed seriously when she saw the rock approaching at an absurd speed, she may be far from the meteor's impact area, but she trusts the judgment of her instinct.
"OK! Mother!" Adrian responded without question, after all, there were rare times when his mother yelled at him.
"Natasha! Didn't you say it was 60 seconds? That damn stone is approaching too fast!" Leona screamed in annoyance as she grabbed Adrian and ran away from the impact area.
Natasha ran after Leona while saying: "I am not a physics teacher! My calculations may be wrong!" She screamed in annoyance as she ran after her.
While the group was running through the forest. Adrian, who was in his mother's arms, cried out in warning: "The stone has split, we have to find shelter! Fast!"
Natasha and Leona stopped running and looked back, seeing that the meteor shattered in mid-air, they frantically searched for a safe place.
"Damn it! I should have stayed at home! I cursed my boredom!" Leona practically screamed.
"Leave the joke for later! We have to get out of the meteorite impact area!"
* BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM**BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
The meteor fragments started to fall to the earth and made a loud noise! Soon the areas where the fragments fell started to catch fire.
Leona: "This is bad!"
Natasha: "Don't say the obvious! We get out of here now!"
"Wait!" Adrian suddenly screamed and jumped out of his mother's arms.
"What are you doing boy!?" Leona screamed in concern.
Adrian ignored his mother's words and said while pointing to a tree. "Do you remember that brand, Aunt Nat?"
The two women looked at where the boy is pointing, soon they saw an "A" mark on the tree. Natasha seeing that mark soon realized what he was trying to say, every time Natasha and Adrian trained, they often encountered dangerous animals like bears, wolves, etc. After an incident in which Adrian was attacked by a bear, Natasha and Adrian started to mark the territories of dangerous animals, if it was the territory of a bear, Adrian would mark a nearby tree with the letter "A", if it were wolves, he would mark with the letter "B".
"Bear territory, huh?" Natasha said.
"Yes, the bears on this mountain often sleep in caves, we can use their cave."
"Are you crazy, boy!? They're bears! I can kill a bear easily, but when they are in groups, the difficulty increases" Natasha yelled.
"... No, this is a good idea, we just have to stay at the entrance to the cave, with that we will not be at risk of being attacked by bears or being buried by a landslide." Leona said after thinking about it, and added, "Did you bring your Nat gun?"
* BOOOOOOOOOM*
When Leona asked Natasha a question. A meteorite fragment fell at a very close distance from the group. "Let's keep running!" Leona screamed as she carried her son in her arms.
Natasha nodded and started to ran beside her.
"Mother! I can run alone!" Adrian yelled in annoyance.
"No discussions!" Leona screamed in a tone that does not accept debates on the subject. "Where is the cave!?"
Adrian pouted listening to his mother's tone of voice, listening to her question, he replied: "We are close, the bear's cave is in a place near a waterfall."
"That waterfall!?" Leona asked as she ran.
"Yes, that one."
"Natasha, did you bring your gun!?" She asked again.
"Yes! I did" Natasha replied.
The group ran towards the waterfall, as the two women are trained agents, they managed to reach the waterfall in a relatively short time. Leona may be retired, but she never stopped training her body, after all, it was a habit she acquired over time.
Arriving at the waterfall, the two women can soon see the cave, they quickly entered the cave, but they do not go very far. Leona puts Adrian on the floor and while catching her breath, she said, "That was unexpected ..."
"Yes ... We should have thought that this could happen." Natasha responded while looking at the sky.
"Are not you tired?" Leona asked skeptically.
"Unlike you, I'm an active Agent, this race didn't even make me sweat." She responded with a winning smile.
"Tsk. Tsk. I train every day, okay?" Leona replied while leaning against the stone.
* BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM BOOOOOOOOOOOOM *
The group just looked at the sky and admired the destructive spectacle. "This is beautiful, but it is very destructive." Adrian commented while looking at the forest that was on fire.
The two women nodded with the boy's words.
Soon the wreckage stopped falling from the sky. "That was fast, I thought it would take longer." Adrian commented in a dissatisfied tone, it doesn't even seem like he just went through something dangerous.
"This is normal, it would be strange if it took too long." Natasha replied, and added: "Aren't you scared?"
"Fear? What should I be afraid of?" Adrian asked doubtfully.
Natasha glanced at the boy's confused face. - Isn't he scared? He just went through a life and death situation, but does he treat it like it's nothing? I always found this lack of fear of him strange, even that day when he came across the bear, he was not afraid, he was just curious? Is it as if his curiosity was greater than fear, or just he doesn't feel anything? - She thinks.
"What will we do now?" Leona asked as she looked at the burning forest.
"Nothing. We have to wait for the fire to go out." Natasha replied.
"Isn't that pirate coming? He likes to appear suddenly on those occasions." Adrian asked as he leaned next to his mother.
"Pfft" Natasha tried to hold her laughter, she knows the pirate the boy was talking about very well.
"True, he said he was coming, right? We just have to wait a few minutes. Natasha, contact that cyclops, just in case." Leona said with a smile on her face.
"O-Okay." Natasha responded while placing the communicator on her ear.
