"Hello" said Romanoff as he answered a call on his phone.
"How far Alisa?" asked Romanoff as he poured some water down a dirty drain.
"I did what you asked, I made her an id, and accommodation, everything is settled" said Alisa.
"Good" said Romanoff as he threw the empty clear bottle in his hand away.
"What are you doing right now Romanoff?" asked Alisa.
"Oh nothing much, just taking care of some things over here" said Romanoff as he washed his hands.
"What things?" asked Alisa suspiciously.
"Just burning some trash" said Romanoff as he dried his hands and brought out a lighter.
"Does that trash happen to have a name?" asked Alisa.
"Well I don't know Alisa, what do you think?" asked Romanoff as he smiled.
"Anyway, I have to go now and take care of things here, Natasha should be here by now" said Romanoff as he ended the call and Alisa sighed.
If she knew Romanoff and she did, it would be clear to see that he had a great love for Natasha, even though he seemed harsh with her, he could be worse, Alisa was kind of afraid, because she felt like that Natasha was in some way Romanoff's weakness, she just hoped that no one found that out, or else that would end up in a big mess.
…
Natasha yawned as she was driving her car, It was already dark outside, and although she did not like driving when it was dark out, but she really did not have a choice right now.
Natasha drove past bright lights as she found where she was looking for as she parked her car and she switched it off as she got her phone and she dialed a number as her call was answered.
"Hello Alfred" said Natasha as she smiled and she put her phone to her ear.
"Hello Madam" said Alfred as he smiled.
"Is Joy there with you?" asked Natasha with a smile.
"Yes she is Madam, here she is" said Alfred with a smile as he handed his phone to Joy.
"Hello Mommy!!" said Joy in a happy voice as Natasha laughed.
"Hello my baby" said Natasha as she laughed.
"Mommy have you reached the city yet?" asked Joy.
"Yes I have my darling, I called to let you know, so are you ready for bed yet?" asked Natasha as she smiled.
"Yes Mommy I am, I have my pyjamas on, and I brushed my teeth and brushed my hair, and Alfred read me a bedtime story" said Joy as she giggled.
"That's nice my darling, where is your daddy?" asked Natasha as she smiled.
"I don't know mommy, Alfred said that he called to tell him that he would be home late" said Joy.
"I see my baby, well I have to go now, have a goodnight and sweet dreams, and I will talk to you in the morning" said Natasha as she smiled.
"Okay mommy, I love you, and have a goodnight" said Joy as she giggled.
"I love you too baby" said Natasha as Joy giggled and she have the phone back to Alfred.
"Do you need me to do anything else for you Madam?" asked Alfred as he smiled.
"No Alfred, you have done more than enough, thank you for everything" said Natasha as she smiled.
"It is my pleasure Madam" said Alfred as he smiled and Natasha smiled.
"Well I will talk to you later, goodnight Alfred" said Natasha.
"Goodnight Madam" said Alfred as Natasha ended the call and she smiled when she received a text from Pete.
Knowing how he could get, she had told him that she would be going away on a trip for a week, just so he didn't worry and end up tailing her.
Natasha replied to Pete's text as she did not tell him just where she had went, because she didn't want any trouble.
Natasha got out of her car as she saw Romanoff walking towards her.
"I see that you can actually keep to an appointment" said Natasha as Romanoff laughed.
"I always do" said Romanoff.
"Well here are the keys to your room, it's late, we will talk tomorrow over breakfast, goodnight" said Romanoff as he threw Natasha some keys and he caught them.
"I see" said Natasha,
"I smell paraffin, why do you smell like paraffin?" asked Natasha as she frowned.
"Oh that, I just had to burn some trash devochka (girl)" said Romanoff with a smile.
"Right…" said Natasha as she knew Romanoff, and he probably wasn't talking about actual trash, but she did not want to know.
"See you tomorrow" said Romanoff as he walked away and Natasha got her things and walked into the hotel.
…
The next morning.
"Here is everything you need, your student ID, dorm room number, everything" said Romanoff as he handed Natasha a folder and she looked through it as he drank his coffee while they were in the hotel's café.
"An art major?" asked Natasha as she looked at Romanoff.
"Yes, it suits you" said Romanoff as Natasha scoffed.
"Is it because of my red hair or what?" asked Natasha as Romanoff smiled.
"Well maybe" he said.
"So much for stereotypes Romanoff, I will have you know that I majored in business, I know nothing about art" said Natasha.
"Well you don't have to, just pretend to know something" said Romanoff as Natasha just shook her head and she drank her tea as her phone rang.
"Excuse me" said Natasha as she answered her call.
"Hello my baby" said Natasha as she smiled.
"Have you eaten yet?" asked Natasha with a smile.
"Yes mommy I had some eggs, what did you eat mommy?" asked Joy as she giggled.
"Well my darling, I'm drinking some tea right now, and I might have some eggs as well, what do you think? So we can match?" asked Natasha as she laughed.
"Yes mommy, yes, have eggs so we can match" said Joy as she giggled.
"Alright baby, I will" said Natasha as she laughed.
"Are you ready for school yet baby?" asked Natasha as she smiled.
"Yes I am mommy" said Joy as she nodded.
"Alright once you are done with breakfast, Alfred will walk you to Aunt Chloe's house and she will take you and Ethan to school and bring you back home okay?" said Natasha as she smiled.
"Yes mommy" said Joy as she nodded.
"Where is your daddy my darling?" asked Natasha as she drank her tea.
"He's sleeping, and I didn't want to wake him up" said Joy.
"Alright my baby, be good now, and have a great day at school alright?" asked Natasha as she smiled
"Yes mommy, I love you" said Joy.
"I love you too" said Natasha as she smiled and she ended the call as she saw Romanoff looking at her.
"What?" asked Natasha as Romanoff just smiled at her.
"You love your daughter very much don't you?" asked Romanoff.
"Which parent doesn't love their child?" asked Natasha.
"True" said Romanoff.
"I would like to meet her" said Romanoff.
"Not a chance, I don't want her getting roped into all this, and especially not with you, did you forget your first rule? Never trust anyone" said Natasha as Romanoff smiled.
"That is true" said Romanoff.
"Anyway, how am I going to find Mark Anthony?" asked Natasha as she drank her tea.
"That is up to you devochka (girl), but valid information about him is in that file, he has a girlfriend who works at the university, so it shouldn't be hard to find him" said Romanoff as Natasha thought that was easier said than done.
"I see" said Natasha.
"Yes, so I have explained everything to you, good luck devochka (girl)" said Romanoff.
"Wait, why do you like calling me devohcka (girl)? I have a name, and that's Natasha" said Natasha as Romanoff just smiled.
"You want to know why I call you devochka (girl)?" asked Romanoff as Natasha nodded.
"Well because when I used to teach your mother English, the first word that she learnt was girl, we used to joke with the word, and I guess that when I refer to you as devochka (girl), I am remembering her" said Romanoff as he smiled.
"So devochka (girl), have a good day and good luck" said Romanoff with a smile as he stood up and he walked away, leaving Natasha confused, she did not know what to think about him, was he a good guy or not? Could she trust him or not?
"Well good luck to me, I really need it" said Natasha to herself as she sighed.
…
To say that she was lost right now would be an understatement, Natasha could not find the dorm rooms at all, this campus was huge, and she was left walking from one corner to another.
Natasha had to think that with the way it was easy to forge qualifications and Id's that no one was safe, it was easy to carry fake documents everywhere.
"Face it Natasha, you are lost, we need to ask for directions" said Natasha to herself as she turned to the corner and she saw a group of students chatting, so she walked up to them.
"Excuse me, but do any of you guys know where the dorms are, I am lost?" asked Natasha with a smile as the students turned to look at her and she regretted that she came to ask for help in the first place when she saw someone that she did not even expect to see here at all.
"Natasha???!!" asked Lulu in nothing but surprise as she looked at Natasha who wondered what kind of luck she had right now.
