[Enter: cute blonde woman on your feed. She has an vibrant energy about her.]

Helloooo! [She gives the camera a short wave. Her Russian accent shines through in her words clearly.] Some of you may already know me, but for those who don’t: I am Yelena. And given the circumstances of these “missions” [Yes, she did just make air quotes with her fingers as she said that word.] I would like to offer to anyone who wants it either—

[She ticks options off on her fingers as she goes—] A sparring partner, for people who already know how to fight OR—

Lessons for those of you who either [She lifts her hands and teeters them like a see-saw.] don’t know how, could use improvement or need to learn basic self defense.

[Her hands drop back to rest in her lap.] Anyway— I wasn’t sure if something like this has already been started sooo… let me know your thoughts, I guess?!

[Though technically a good age bracket for it, Yelena did not grow up with social media as a part of her everyday so her ending comes a little awkward and abrupt with another quick wave and an even quicker— ] Bye!

[ Sam is interested yet skeptical. ]

What's the catch?

[waytodie]

No catch, but I respect the suspicion. [She nods. She does understand it, really.] Do you disagree that we should all be able to defend ourselves against whatever they want to send against us in these tests they are doing?

[killer]

No, we're agreed. But this sounds like a shitload of work on your end. What's in it for you?

[waytodie]

Oh, I mean… maybe? I don’t think of it as work, really. [She shrugs.] I will be doing my own routines anyway, what does it hurt to include other people?

I don’t think we really need money here, yes? So payment is not necessary but if it makes you feel better to make it cost something you can pay me in mac&cheese&hot sauce if you like. [It may sound like a joke but she’s completely serious about that combo.]

[killer]

That's... doable. The mac and cheese might be Kraft but my grandma had a fire hot sauce recipe. [ It does make her feel a little better to have something to offer in return. ] I'm interested. My sister might be, too.

[waytodie]

See, we find an agreement, it's fine. I would love to try your grandma's fire sauce, it sounds ama-ayzing. [She might know what she's doing, just a little bit.]

Bring her with you, then. My sister is going to help me.

[Whether Natasha realized that yet or not was debatable, but Yelena had already decided for her sister what was happening with this project of hers.]

[killer]

Your sister knows how to fight too?

[ Sam and Tara get along but they are different in so many ways. It's surprising to find a pair of sisters with shared interests. ]

[waytodie]

Oh yeah. She is one of the best. [If there's a little bit of baby-sis-hero-worshipping in there, she would never own it.]
