"I wonder where the commander is going, he seems so serious?" asked Tatiana as everyone else was pairing up with their team members and getting ready.
"He must be going on a mission, he does look very serious" said Kira as Tatiana looked at her and Natasha had to agree, was it only her or did Romanoff looked annoyed, as if something or someone was irritating him.
"I wonder when he will be back" said Sofia.
"I doubt it will be any time soon, since he gave us till next Monday" said Kira.
"Which just reminds us that every single one of us need to pair up with our team members and practice just as Commander said" said Kira.
"It does not look like he would seem pleased if we actually don't do anything till he returns" said Kira.
"Anyway Nikolai, you are with me, come on, let's get to work" said Kira as she turned to look at Nikolai and he nodded his head as he followed after her to the far corner of the gym.
"Well I guess it's time to pair up now" said Tatiana as she smiled and she walked over to where Alexi was.
Everyone began to pair up as Natasha just stood there thinking about many things, until someone stood right in front of her and snapped her out of her thoughts.
"Natasha right?" asked Rodion as he stood in front of Natasha and she blinked.
"Hmm, yes" said Natasha as she replied and she shook her head.
"I'm Rodion" said Rodion as he doubted that Natasha knew his name yet.
"Yes I know" said Natasha.
"I guess that we are a team then" said Rodion as he smiled.
"Yes, we are… but we also have Vicki" said Natasha as she looked at Vicki who was standing in the right corner, she looked like she had no intention at all to come over here and work on what they needed to work on.
Rodion turned to look at Vicki, at first, he had thought that this would be something easy to do, but now, judging from the way Vicki was behaving he doubted that.
"Vicki my zhdem tebya (Vicki, we are waiting for you)" said Rodion as he called out to Vicki and she turned to look at him as he looked at her, but she made no attempt to move at all.
"U nas net vsego dnya (We don't have all day)" said Rodion as he called out again and Vicki scoffed as she reluctantly walked to where Natasha and Rodion were standing.
"Chto? (What?)" asked Vicki in an obviously annoyed tone.
"We need to decide what we are going to work on as a team" said Rodion.
"Well this is no team" said Vicki.
"Not at all, the other teams are teams of two, and we are a stupid team of three" said Vicki as she eyed Natasha in particular.
"Is something wrong?" asked Natasha.
"Yes, something is wrong, and that something is you" said Vicki.
"Vicki" said Rodion as he shook his head at Vicki, just what was she saying.
"Everything was already planned, we were ten, a balanced number, and now you come along disrupting the balance" said Vicki.
"Well I am sorry that you feel that way, that was not my intention at all" said Natasha as she did not get why Vicki disliked her so much.
"Oh of course, but it is, you are here after all" said Vicki.
"Vicki that is enough, we are not here to argue, we all have something to do" said Rodion.
"I am not going to work with this… whatever she calls herself, not at all" said Vicki as she scoffed and she walked away.
"Vicki" said Rodion as he called out to her but she did not listen.
"Vicki" called Tatiana and the rest.
"Vicki, would you get back here" said Kira as she shouted but Vicki did not stop as she walked out of the gym and Kira shook her head.
"This is childish" said Rodion as he scoffed.
"Her insolence will get her nowhere" said Kira as she just shook her head.
Natasha felt like she was somewhat to blame here for what happened, but at the same time, she just did not know why Vicki seemed to hate her so much, as if she had offended her greatly in her past life, which was impossible since Natasha did not even know that she existed in her past life.
"Won't this get us in trouble?" asked Natasha as all she cared about was not getting punished.
"Well no, Vicki might have a temper, but she's not stupid, don't worry about her, she will take care of herself, we just have to focus on what we will be doing" said Rodion.
"Oh well, alright then" said Natasha as that made her feel relieved.
"Yes, so I was thinking that we should work more on offence, since defending Is easy, but we need to be able to switch from defence to offence quickly" said Rodion as Natasha nodded her head.
"Alright then, I agree" said Natasha.
"Alright, so let's start working on it" said Rodion.
"Okay then" said Natasha as she nodded her head.
…
"We have been here for long, how about we go get lunch?" asked Tatiana as she smiled she was sweating from all the training that she had been doing, and now she was hungry.
"I agree, I am hungry" said Sofia as she laughed.
"So what do you say? Let's go have lunch" said Tatiana as she smiled.
"Okay then" said Olga as that was not a bad idea at all.
"Alright, let's have lunch" said Tatiana as she smiled.
…
"Natasha, you don't want to eat?" asked Tatiana as she looked at Natasha who was just staring at the menu as the others got what they wanted to eat.
"Ahh, no it's not that… I am just thinking of what to get" said Natasha as she looked at Tatiana who had been watching her all this while.
"Ahhh, I see, it is hard choice no?" asked Tatiana as she laughed.
"Well I am not really familiar with Russian cuisine" said Natasha as she laughed.
"Ahhh, you never eat Russian food before?" asked Tatiana.
"Well no, not really, I have only had Beef Stroganoff, my dad used to make it all the time" said Natasha.
"Ahhh, so it's your favourite?" asked Tatiana as she smiled.
"Well yes" said Natasha as she smiled.
"Well not to worry, I will help you, make sure you taste best of Russian foods" said Tatiana as she smiled.
"Alright then" said Natasha as she smiled.
"Yes, so today I suggest you get Pelmeni" said Tatiana as she smiled.
"Pelmeni?" asked Natasha as Tatiana nodded her head.
"Well what is it?" asked Natasha.
"It's like meat in ball form… it's white… it's like one of these… ahh what I do call it, the Chinese eat them with chopsticks, white ball" said Tatiana as she was trying to remember the English name.
"You mean dumplings?" asked Natasha.
"Ahh yes, yes, dumplings, Pelmeni is dumplings, Russian dumplings with minced meat, onion, garlic, and then covered in dough, it is very delicious" said Tatiana as she smiled.
"Well if you say so, I think that I will have it then" said Natasha as she smiled.
"Yes, yes, you will not regret it, trust me" said Tatiana as she smiled.
"I trust you" said Natasha as she smiled and Tatiana smiled a her.
"Come one" said Tatiana as she smiled and she took Natasha's hand so that they could order.
Natasha smiled, she liked Tatiana, she was nice, unlike some other people that she knew.
…
Natasha was walking back to her room as in that same moment Vicki opened the door to her room as she walked out her room.
"Hey Vicki" called Natasha and as soon as Vicki turned to look at who had called her, she scoffed as she was about to go into her room and close the door, but Natasha stood right in front of her.
"Wait" said Natasha.
"What? What do you want?" asked Vicki in annoyance.
"What do you have against me?" asked Natasha as she just wanted to know, it made no sense to her.
"What did I do to make you dislike me so much?" asked Natasha as she could not get it.
Vicki scoffed as she rolled her eyes, of course Natasha was here, asking her all these questions, pretending to be very nice.
"You want to know so much?" asked Vicki.
"Yes" said Natasha as she nodded her head.
"Well then too bad" said Vicki as she scoffed and in the same moment she slammed the door right in Natasha's face.
Natasha just sighed as she turned to her room and she unlocked the door as she walked into her room and she closed the door behind her, she wondered just what she did to Vicki to make her hate her so much, well at least she did try to understand why that was so, but it seemed that Vicki was just bent on being upset with her for no reason at all.
"Well what can you do, some people just have problems" said Natasha as she scoffed.
