Someone New

A/N: This is for @lokissoul ‘s 1k Hozier challenge and my prompt was the song ‘Someone New’ by Hozier. This is an angsty monster that took me 3 weeks to write, it was so sad. This was beta read by my love @nasarogers and I’m tagging @trashpanda-barnes who’s always a lovely supporter of my nat fics

Warnings: Oof, character death, mentions of civil war, I guess

“I really don’t think Paris is an option, even if we skirt around and get to the countryside, someone’s got to be there, they always think we’ll be there next-” Natasha was interrupted by the vibrating of one of her burner phones. Muttering an excuse to the rogue Avengers in front of her, with whom she was discussing their next move.

On the other line, a male voice spoke “How are the pears today?”

“Fresher than yesterday. What’s going on, Pat?”

“ Remember the name you told me to keep a lookout for? There was a mugging up on an apartment on 31st street., near Chelsea. They left a body behind, stabbed twice in the head. They’ve sent it for the autopsy, but so far the cause of death is the loss of blood.” He could hear her sharp intake of breath even across the phone.

“It’s identified?”

“Y/N Y/L/N. She was renting one of the flats, looking for a roommate.”

“Thank you for the information, Pat.” She ended the call.

The apartment still smelt of her perfume and coffee. The moonlight shined through on to the hardwood floor, which was stained with blood despite the shabby attempt to wipe it away. It was in the privacy of the empty apartment that Natasha finally allowed herself to break down. Tears streaming down her face, she opened the drawer in the cabinet where Y/N always kept the extra keys. Y/N always spoke of losing her keys so she had a bunch of copies made, one of which she gave Nat. The assassin wasn’t looking for the keys, though. She wanted back a photograph they had taken long ago, which Y/N had framed and wanted to keep on the mantle, but when her girlfriend had argued they’d know she was dating an assassin and subsequently make her life hell, she’d compromised by keeping it in the drawer.

After the whole going rogue fiasco, though, she’d probably moved it somewhere she didn’t have to see it every day. Maybe even dumped it unceremoniously into the trash can. If it was here though, the police would’ve already taken it away. She moved her hand across the inside of the drawer, finding nothing. Her fingers brushed up against an edge that seemed to stick out a bit. Poking and prodding, she tried to lift it up, to no avail. She accidentally pressed it, and it gave way, and something on the right jutted out.

“Clever girl.”

There was nothing in the concealed drawer except some loose change, receipts, and a phone. Police had probably taken her perosnal phone for the investigation, along with the rest of her possessions. The phone was primitive, okay by market standards but Y/N had recently purchased a Starkphone that would make any other look like a bloody typewriter.

So unless the police left something behind, it would seem Y/N wanted someone to see this. After she went rogue, Natasha had only called her once on a burner phone. A voice call that lasted only 15 minutes, where each could clearly hear the other cry, but the redhead knew they would come chasing after Y/N if they discovered they had been communicating.

She took the phone, slipped it into her pocket and went searching for the photo.

Dear god, why am I even doing this? Clearly losing my sanity.

I know you said nothing could ever come out of dating a bloody assassin but god, how I love you. It’s hard. Yes, I know, whoever’s listening to this is scoffing and Nat if that is you, wipe that cheesy smile off your goddamn face. It’s just, once you fall in love, it’s really fucking hard to get out, you know? Particularly when there’s no such breaking of the commitment; that here’s your heart and here’s mine and let’s go our separate ways. We fell apart because we had to, because some idiot decided to fight with their own teammates.

She pressed pause. The phone had nothing on it except a few recordings on it, and the number of the burner phone. It would not work, but it was nice to some corner to her heart that Y/N had somewhere to turn after all.

But it would be of no use, would it? Y/N was dead, dead, gone, and she could not protect her. Then and now. Crying was a release, it reminded her she was human.

So, I met someone today.

What a fucking slut, right? Barely, what, 4 months after your girlfriend of 2 years drops off the face of the earth after betraying her team, Y/N hooks up with the first person she sees.

He’s nice, for your typical coffee shop hipster. Reads. Probably thinks a date is us discussing our favorite indie films. Not bad, right? We used to do that, Nat and I, except she never saw movies.

I think it’s natural I compare everyone to my previous relationships. Healthy, right? I mean you see where you went wrong, what you should’ve done. So, Nat, where did I go wrong? Why was I not worth it? Why do I have to suffer this goddamn agony of losing the one person I love more than anything just moves on.

It’s late, I think I should sleep.

She should’ve done that.

Cut Y/N loose, explain nothing. She would never have to go through what she seemed to be going through, or she would’ve already moved on and there would be no recordings where she compared herself to everyone else she saw and how happy they were. How she’d lost the chance to be happy herself.

Natasha set the phone aside and looked at some photos Pat had sent over of the crime scene. The stained carpet after investigation would probably be replaced by the landlord and Y/N Y/L/N would become some kind of urban legend in the building. There would be trouble finding tenants.

Nat did have enough to buy out the landlord. Cry herself to sleep every night in the shell of the house she was meant to share with the love of her life.

Saw this cute girl in the grocery store today. Pretty, nice hair, glasses. Loves to write, probably and wants a photographer girlfriend. I mean I did have a photography phase in college. The family has enough money to let her do whatever she wants.

Dear god, I need therapy and a drink.

Is it even normal to fantasize over every stranger you see and imagine a life with them? Love with every stranger, the stranger the better?

There was no evidence that the murder was premeditated. The official conclusion was that Y/N had chanced upon the robbery and was silenced before she could alarm anyone. They had found some bits of DNA under her fingernails that matched a fugitive who was accused of 3 muggings in the past and had been acquitted all three times. His lawyer was really good, apparently.

Natasha skimmed a few of the recordings to see if any conclusive evidence or anything about anyone following her. She kept these recordings as a diary of sorts, clearly, but it could be valuable if it had managed to pick up something of the day Y/N was murdered.

There were many recordings, all of them detailing people she’d met and how she’s imagined an entire relationship with. About how she’d find someone with hair the exact same color as Natasha or one who had exactly the same clothing sense and on and on until Y/N herself had had enough of the constant comparisons.

The last recording was a whole 4 hours. YN had either forgotten to switch it off or…

Natasha didn’t allow herself to think of the other possibility. She quickly played it back and held her breath.

It’s never simple, am I right? Getting over people, like they’re a bridge to cross and once you get over that there’s no looking back.

I just see anyone and all I see is you. All that time we should’ve had together, just gone. I’m wasting my time apparently because love is useless. I have it but the one person who has my heart completely is just not bloody there.

I wouldn’t ever know how long we would go on, Nat, how far we would travel together, I would…

What was that?

Hold up, I’ll put you somewhere.

A thud. Low groans. A high pitched scream, noises and then silence. Apparently, she had really forgotten to switch it off before putting it back and it had recorded until it ran out of battery.

There it was, clear as day, the conviction of the man who had evaded the law until now.

Natasha sent off the last recording to Pat, asking him to send it to the investigation. It would be sufficient to get him the time he deserved. The rest she kept for herself, the last memory of the woman she loved.

London Fashion Week's Top Trends

London Fashion Week packed in more sequin, tulle, age diversity and youth culture in four days than any Broadway show on a Saturday night! There was a lot more than just fashion going on with PETA demonstrating outside the London Fashion Week headquarters, more talks of Brexit and American politics, and everyone from Katy Perry to Vanessa Redgrave (!) sitting pretty in the front row. Here’s a look at the trends that came out at LFW2017.

Let’s keep in touch! Follow Yahoo Style + Beauty on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest.

The Three London Designers You Need to Know Burberry Gives Us the Best of Britain

15 Crazy-Good Shoes We Spotted at London Fashion Week

Art School Bohemian

Art School Bohemian Mary Katrantzou If London lacks sunshine and good transport during LFW, it makes up for it in art, culture and talent. The heavy influence of artists was apparent with Burberry’s ode to Henry Moore and Ports 1961’s photography student look. The arts and crafts movement was in full effect at Mary Katrantzou where she showed off a Disney meets folksy embroidery style.

Americana

Americana Blue jeans, cowboy imagery and the stars and stripes made appearances in a few shows in London but they were bright and unapologetic. Perhaps it as in support of all those who want America to be land of the free and equal again! Ashish A model walks the runway at Ashish’s Fall 2017 show in London (Photo: Getty Images)

Asymmetric knits

Asymmetric knits Slash it, tie it upside down or deconstruct it altogether, knitwear goes crazy this season in London. Literally cut it up, take it apart and maybe even hack off most of it and then put it back together with pins or buttons. It’s your choice but just make sure it stands out!

Le Ruche

Le Ruche Time to gather up because crisp, clean lines are no longer en vogue. The hipster prince JW Anderson gave us multiple ruching on dresses, Preen by Thornton Bregazzi ruched their tulle and slipped it over colorful florals, and the new kids Ryan Lo and Molly Goddard ruched pants.

Exaggerated Pockets

Exaggerated Pockets Designers have exaggerated collars, sleeves, hemlines and now pockets! They’re big enough to carry the cell and the wallet so you can save money by foregoing a statement bag this fall.
