Chapter five

Aelins POV:


"What type of weapons do you want to use?" Natasha ask. "Would we be able to do a bit of sword play?" I respond. "Sure. Just over here, however don't you think it is a bit unfair if you are in your fae form and I am just human. Wouldn't it be best for both of us if we were both humans fro this match. " Natasha replies as we strap up with knives, daggers and swords in every pocket . "I suppose you are right, just give me a sec." I say.


A bright flash happens and we step into the fighting area and begin our dance of blades and fist.


I attack, Natasha dodges, expecting the move, and goes on the offensive. It goes on like this for quite a bit before I get a slice on her calf. First blood. Our blades cross in the middle, I meet determined eyes. Five minutes later and we are both covered in little scrapes. I am impressed that this doesn't bother her as much as I thought it would.


Used to being in my face from, I am surprised to find myself bleeding profusely. But I laugh once I realise that her left hand is no where near as strong as mine, thanks for the training arobynn. Using this to my advantage, I am able to get past her guard. I approach with my arms up and swing with the speed of an cheetah. She catches my hand, my eyes widen.


Before she can twist me, I slam my shoulder up to dislodge his hand and move to trip him. She side steps, and I crouch to avoid the dagger being thrown my way. I don't stand quick enough to avoid the kick to my stomach, the breath is knocked out of me. I use the momentum to roll backwards. As she comes towards me I fly around her body, knocking her over in the process.


We break apart, and this time she doesn't see my roundhouse kick coming. I put hits square in the chest, sending her flying back. Not giving her the opportunity to compose herself, I pin her to the ground holding a knife to her throat. "Surrender." I say.


As I look up I notice that we had gathered quite the audience. "Well that was unexpected." Fury says walking over. "How so? I just did what I do best. Minus the killing and magic part." I say. "Just that no one had beaten Natasha romanoff the black widow before, or in a while cause I am sure there was the odd chance." Fury replies.


"Good job A." Natasha replies. "Thanks. A? Do I get to call you Nat then?" I ask. "Sure you did beat me so I guess it is fair that you can call me that." Nat says. "Ok cool." I say.



5 hours later (imagine sponge bob voice)


I was just casually eating some food in the kitchen I guess (I don't know what anything is except my room and the bathroom, and I even think that the bathroom is more of a change room if anything) when all of a sudden my meal was interrupted by a certain tony stark asking, "Hey kid, what are you doing?" "Just eating why?"


(I won't say who is saying what when there are only two people in a conversation just notice when the speech marks change, indicating a new speaker. So yeah)


"Just curious about my new favourite badass. It was Nat but then you beat her so I guess it is you now." "Okay. Well I was eating in peace then you showed up and started talking to me so I guess we are here now. Talking."


"Well I deeply apologise for interrupting your meal but I was just here to ask a question for fury." "Ok shoot." "He was wondering if you would like to assist in our war to save our planet? As you seem to be pretty good at fighting he believes you would be a great asset to the team, at least for this mission." "Sure I guess so. I mean I don't have anything better to do. However I will need to meet everyone and know who I will be fighting against." "Yeah of course. Let's go and meet them now. I believe they are in training except banner, he can get a bit sensitive and as this is a flying craft it wouldn't be best for everyone on this craft if he were to get into a fighting situation. Well let's go."
