there was tension pushing through them. they had taken a small chance in going to a party for a coworker, a halloween party, and quickly realized that they didn’t know anyone else there besides their coworker- who was quite drunk at this point. but that wasn’t what was eating them right then. no, it was the gaze of the other across the room, the locked looks over the course of night, their nurse costume feeling strangely tighter at her looks, as if they could actively feel every bit of their skin. every time their eyes met, kris would try to look away, look any where else than at her.

     “You, me, ice cream and drinks at my place tonight!” Kayla pouted playfully, “Say yes, I don’t wanna be alone tonight.” she laughed softly, wanting desperately to decompress after the week she’d had and not able to think of anyone else she’d rather hang out with. “I’ll even let you pick the movie.” 

valencia always greeted any new stores or businesses that came into the neighborhood. at least, for her original store. now that she owned numerous locations, it was hard to do for all of them. but she had a tradition from when she was younger. opening the door, she glanced around the new building but then immediately locked eyes with a person on the other side of the room. “hello. do you own this facility?” despite her expression, she tried her best to make her tone sound warm, she had been told before that her face could really put people off.

Rationally, she could understand the approach that Nadia had taken, that lying would have certainly been far worse - she imagined herself finding out about the other woman’s hidden feelings down the track would have hurt even more. “Did you ever get over her?” Scarlett knew it was probably an unfair question, but she couldn’t help that it escaped her lips. For all she knew, Nadia could have gone back to her ex and been happily married by now, but she had to know.

“I had no plans to follow in her footsteps.” Natalia admits, her shoulders lifting in a shrug. People often had a habit of questioning her choice not to join SHIELD when they discovered she was the granddaughter of one of their co-founders. She’d always admired the woman, had named her company for her but had always desired to make her own path. “But she always spoke highly of the people who worked with her.” ( @cxptsmarvel)
