Chapter 46

Damian led Natasha into the dining room before sitting down at the dining table next to her.

''When do you have to start work?'' Damian asked casually as they waited for their food.Updated chapters on novelbin(.)com

''The director has given me a few days to look for a house and buy everything I need,'' Natasha said, smiling slightly at him.

"Well, I guess you'll be able to rest these days at home," Damian said.

''Yes, it's a bit strange, I've never had rest days before, only recovery days before leaving for another mission'' said Natasha remembering the past.

''Well, I'm sure it will be different from now on,'' Damian said, smiling at him.

Soon Sophia arrived and behind her came several people to serve the food.

Sophia sat across from Natasha and smiled slightly at her.

''So Natasha, you're working at SHIELD now, right?'' Sophia asked.

''Yes, it was one of the conditions for forgiving my past crimes'' Natasha said as she ate.

I'm hopeful that working with SHIELD can make up for everything I've done in the past," said Natasha.

''I think you shouldn't be so hard on yourself, you didn't have much of a choice'' Sophia said.

''I guess not, but it still doesn't change what I did'' Natasha said, smiling slightly.

''You also have to learn to forgive yourself or you won't be able to find happiness no matter who you are with,'' Sophia told her, looking deeply at her.

''It's hard'' Natasha said, smiling wryly, not daring to say that a few days ago she had killed a girl just so she could kill her target.

Even if Natasha had killed innocent people it could be reasoned that she was forced but that girl will haunt Natasha forever.

All to gain her freedom and that of her sister.

Damian had been watching the conversation between Sophia and Natasha, and he guessed that Natasha was really affected by the 'death' of the girl and although she didn't really die she did ruin her life.

''I think it's best if we change the subject'' Damian said, stopping any continuation of that conversation.

''Since Natasha has a few days off we could still go on vacation somewhere, you'll be busy soon'' Damian said smiling, he wants Natasha to clear her mind.

''I think it's a great idea, we could go to the beach, since the girls grew up we haven't gone again'' Sophia said.

''Wouldn't be bad'' Natasha said, smiling slightly, the closest thing to a vacation she had was on a mission with her 'family' in Ohio.

''Did you buy any bikinis when you went out with Carol and Ana?'' Sophia said, giving her a suggestive look.

''No, I didn't think it was necessary'' Natasha said, somewhat embarrassed by Sophia's look.

Sophia looked at Natasha's body and calculated in her mind.

''Maybe I could lend you one if you don't want to go shopping'' Said Sophia, who thought they had similar bodies.

''Don't worry about it, I'll take Natasha to the mall quickly'' said Damian rolling his eyes towards Sophia, although their bodies were similar in the end Natasha had a very defined body from her training since she was a child unlike Sophia who just sat around watching TV, of course, if it was objective, Sophia had a great body just not the same as Natasha.

''I don't know if it's okay, after all, it's quite personal, I'd better take her'' said Sophia smiling at Damian, she didn't like the look Damian gave her.

Natasha watched this exchange a little nervously, if she was honest she wanted to go with Damian but upsetting the woman she wanted to be her mother-in-law is not a good idea either so she decided to keep quiet and finish eating.

''I think a male opinion is better than yours which is a bit old-fashioned'' Damian said, smiling at her.

''I think I'll go with her anyway,'' Sophia said in a final tone.

Damian could only look at her speechless since she was so insistent he decided to leave her.

''Well, then go,'' Damian said.

''Great, come on Natasha let's go find you something nice'' said Sophia grabbing Natasha's hand and dragging her outside.

Sophia just gave Damian a small victorious smile.

'Childish' Damian thought, chuckling to himself.

Damian grabbed his phone and texted Ophelia that they were going to the beach and if she wanted she could come.

....

Sophia guides Natasha to the garage and starts looking at which car she will take today.

''It's okay? won't Damian get mad?" asked Natasha, a little worried.

''Don't worry, Damian is not that stingy..... well, with his family'' said Sophia smiling slightly.

''I guess we'll go in this one,'' Sofia said before hopping into a new Camaro that Carol and Ana had bought on one of their outings.

Natasha followed her and got into the car.

''I'm Natasha, you must be Monica, Damian's daughter right?'' Natasha said, trying to make a good impression.

''Yes, I am his daughter, why are you here?'' Monica asked directly.

''Your father invited me to live here'' Natasha said somewhat awkwardly, it sounded as bad as it did in her mind.

Monica couldn't help but fall down sitting on the floor staring at nothing depressed.

"Uhm, are you okay?'' Natasha asked.

''Dad could have gotten a goddess or some much older cosmic being, why does it have to be someone who looks younger than me?'' muttered Monica listlessly.

''Oh Monica, I didn't expect you to come back, what are you doing on the floor?'' asked Sophia when they reached the entrance to the room.

''Grandma, she... she is?'' Monica asked almost in despair.

"No, wait, how old are you?" asked Monica looking at Natasha.

''21 years old'' Natasha said blankly.

''You're younger than me hehehehe'' Monica said, going into a meltdown.

Sigh

''Monica, you knew this day would come, stop being a child and get up, if Carol comes and sees you like this she won't let you forget it'' Sophia told her, admonishing her slightly, in a way she understood Monica but things were already going like this.

Hearing that Carol was about to arrive, Monica quickly stood up and looked at Natasha with mixed feelings.

''I'm sorry if I make you uncomfortable, it's just...well, it's a little awkward for me'' Monica said to Natasha.

''You talk like I'm in a relationship with your father but that remains to be seen'' Natasha said, smiling wryly.

''Hm? why? my father is the most handsome and gentle man you can find'' said Monica looking at her strangely.

Not noticing that Natasha was looking at her even more strangely.

''Don't worry it's not like you think'' Sophia said, sighing as she saw the look on Natasha's face.

''We're here'' shouted Carol who was entering the house with Ana.

The three people turned toward the entrance where Carol and Ana were approaching.

Carol, seeing the three people in a somewhat awkward situation, couldn't help but show a broad smile.

''Monica, did you meet Natasha?'' Carol asked, full of amusement.

''You know, we talked about this situation a few years ago and, as I said, it's funny,'' Carol laughed, seeing Monica's expression.

Even Ana looked amused by the situation.

''Well, they're all gathered together," said Damian, who out of nowhere came up behind Carol and Ana.

''We're going to the beach so you have 5 minutes to get your stuff ready and we're leaving,'' said Damian.

''Oh, you want to see the merchandise so fast?'' Carol said, giving a knowing look to Natasha who just looked away as if she hadn't heard anything.

''Just go and get ready'' Damian said gently, slapping Carol's butt.

After 15 minutes everyone was carrying a backpack with their things.

''Then let's go'' Damian said as he walked towards the basement.

Natasha was confused, she assumed they would go by plane but for some reason, they walked to the underground basement.

Damian again made the wall move before everyone entered the secret room with the portal to the palace.

Damian activated the portal before letting everyone through.

Soon only Natasha and Damian were left.

Natasha looked at the portal with some hesitation.

''Don't worry, trust me'' Damian said smiling.

Natasha nodded before moving forward.

Natasha felt as if she was walking through nothingness before appearing somewhere else with a totally surprised look on her face.

Then she heard the sound of a camera taking pictures so she looked toward the sound where Carol was pointing at her cell phone.

''It will be a nice souvenir for the family album," Carol said with satisfaction as she put the cell phone away.
