Valerian's point of view

➵➵➵

Something that Adelyn said triggered my sister, I doubt it was the provoking with the Princess saying she would beat my sister, which was absolutely ridiculous if I may. I knew it wouldn't end well the second Adelyn challenged Nat, knowing how unrelenting she is in the front of any dare, because I am very conscious of how strong Nat is.

Said and done, she played with Adelyn like you would with a voodoo doll, it gave me the chills, not because of what she was doing, but because I knew that wasn't the Natasha everyone believes to be here, but the older Natasha who went through hell, torture, death, and who killed millions. That was the predatory assassin I keep seeing in the memories that are still flooding in.
