MEET THE OC: Alina Sokolov

“Put the gun down, Natalia. You and I both know you won’t use it.” Alina said in a matter of fact tone.

“Depends.” Natasha said back, “Why are you following me?”

“Yelena sent me.” She replied, causing Natasha to frown. “She used some magic red mist to turn me back to a real girl and now I’m here.”

“Why’d she send you?” Natasha slowly lowered her gun.

“She didn’t want you to be alone.” She walked forward. “And out of all the Widows, she knew I was your favorite.” When Natasha didn’t smile, Alina sighed. “And maybe she thought…I didn’t want to be alone either.” She shrugged. Still, Natasha did not react. Alina huffed in frustration. “Do I have to spell it out for you, Natalia?”

A hint of a smirk tugged at Natasha’s lips. “It’d be nice to hear it.”

Alina glared, “You know I hate talking about feelings.”

“You miss me.” Natasha smiled. It wasn’t a question — they both knew it was the truth.

Alina cursed under her breath, switching to Russian. “You’re insufferable.”

“Only when I’m right.” She smirked.

Not only is Halloween my absolute favorite time of year, but I have some serious making up to do as I’ve been so busy with college to participate in any OC events or really do anything OC related. Luckily, I graduated so I have some time to spare and I’m dying to make edits, but lacking a muse. This time last year, I was doing edits for the Costume Party during the ocapphalloween event, so I’m going to offer up my services once again to make anyone that wishes a costume aesthetic for their OCs! I’m not the most talented artist on here but I will do my very best to make a pretty edit to match whatever costume idea you have for your OC. Just send me an ask with the following info and I’ll start posting stuff soon. I plan to get started on these ASAP and I’ll do them for the whole month, so send requests!

“Because I felt nothing!” The words poured out of her body easily. As easily as it was for the tears to well up in her eyes. “I was tired. I’m exhausted of lying to everyone about who I am, keeping myself as a Stark secret. And I just wanted to feel something. Comfort. Cause you’re right. There was something there.” Becca wiped her wet cheeks. “But all I felt was worse.”

chapter preview…

“That woman has been staring at you. Across the room. She’s cute.”

Bucky slowly turned his head to look at Sam and scoffed. “Don’t do that to me.” He willed his heart rate to slow again before he turned his head to look in the direction Sam mentioned.

“You know her?” Sam asked with a slight smile.

Bucky’s eyes narrowed slightly as he noticed the woman that had been looking at him. She had turned away now, but there was a familiarity. And when she turned her face back in his direction, it hit him. “Oh my god,” he said, surprised.
