Marvel crosses Star Wars, and everyone attacks the galaxy

Chapter 159: Senator Padme's Old Love

"I'm still surprised that Clovis accepted it so quickly." Wasp and Black Widow muttered to themselves while eating at a table not far away.

"Oh, I just can't figure it out." Black Widow said, looking sideways at Padme, who was sitting alone, wearing a rather luxurious and exquisite dress. The senator's hair fell around her ears, hiding the communicator in her ears.

The Wasp also said: "That headdress looks very heavy, like a helmet. It will make me unable to breathe."

"This is my hair."

"Yes, we know."

Padmé felt her fashion sense insulted. She would let them know that she took great pride in her appearance.

"Do you think this style would be popular on Earth?" Black Widow asked the Wasp.

"I don't think so, but aesthetics is a matter of uncertainty," Hope admitted.

"Focus, girls," Padmé said over the comms. "Clovis is here."

"I saw him," the Wasp muttered, taking a sip of her drink to hide her gaze on Senator Scipio as he approached Padmé's table.

"Padmé," Clovis greeted in a gentle tone, "It's been a long time."

"It has been a long time indeed, old friend." Padmé smiled in return.

A waitress robot came over, served them drinks, and walked away.

“It’s so nice to see you again, Clovis.” Padmé smiled softly, “I didn’t realize how lonely I was… until tonight.

"Perhaps I can do more to ease your loneliness," Clovis said with a smile. "Once I return from Cato Neimoidia, my schedule will be relatively light, and we can talk then."

"Wow~ He really hasn't let go of his feelings for her." The Wasp muttered, then lowered her head to eat the food on her plate.

"Most people have a hard time doing that once they meet someone who's truly special to them," Black Widow commented.

“Do you have someone special?”

"Everyone has a story, Hope."

Padmé ignored the joke that passed through her ears and asked Clovis the obvious question. "Oh, are you traveling to Neimoidia?"

"No. It's work. About the Trade Federation," he corrected her.

"The Trade Federation?" Padmé hummed. "I've dealt with them in the past."

"So I remember," Clovis said knowingly. "You know how they are. They love to borrow money from the banking families, but they hate to pay it back.

Padmé smiled. "Perhaps you could say a few words on my behalf." Her heart grew heavy. "I spend every day with the Nemodians in Holonette, demanding concessions from the Trade Federation, but I never seem to make any progress."

Clovis hummed to himself and looked back at his date for the night, "I have an idea. Come with me to Cato Neimoidia. You talk to them in person."

"you sure?"

“I have the influence of the banking family. You have the diplomatic skills. We can help each other.

Padmé looked at her old love with a curious expression, “Did you invite me for political reasons, or… because you want us to be friends again?

“Both, of course,” Rush confessed, “though I’m more interested in your friendship than your politics.

"Oh my god, what is this, the start of a love conversation?" Black Widow asked over the comms, causing Wasp to nearly choke on her food while Padmé blushed at Black Widow's words.

"Padme? Are you okay?" Clovis asked, noticing the sudden color change in her cheeks.

"Sorry, it's nothing. Just a little hot.

Clovis stared at her, shrugged, and after a moment, glanced casually outside, giving Padmé a brief opportunity to cast an annoyed look at the instigator, Black Widow, who was unable to hide her amusement after seeing the Naboo Senator's reaction.

“Well, your proposal… is just like the old days.

Rush chuckled, “On the contrary, I hope it will be much better than it was.

The next day, Black Widow stood on a landing pad with Padmé, surrounded by several Coruscant guards, while C-3P0 was loading supplies and other necessities onto the ship that would take them to Cato Neimoidia.

Black Widow looked around and spotted the almost unnoticeable little humanoid, the Wasp, flying around her and then perching on her shoulder.

"Comfortable?"

"It's okay." The Wasp shrugged.

The tiny Avenger looked around, staring at the ship that was obviously what Black Widow would be piloting, "So you know how to fly these things?"

“Of course I do,” Black Widow said, adjusting her Naboo pilot costume. “When I first came to this galaxy, I had to travel many hours and fly many ships. It was no different from Earth. Just a few small details, that’s all.

"If you say so."

Black Widow adjusted her clothes again, "Padmé, why are you only half dressed? They're like a blanket.

“It takes time to get used to them.”

"I bet."

"The morose man, here he comes," Wasp said as she spoke to Black Widow and Padme, looking at Rush who was approaching the latter.

"Senator Clovis," Padmé greeted him.

"Padmé," Clovis said, getting a little closer to her, "you look exquisite."

He then kissed Padmé on the cheek in a very intimate way.

Rush stepped back and looked at Black Widow, "May I ask who is this beautiful lady standing with you?"

“Oh? Am I not very pretty, Senator Clovis?

Clovis stuttered for a moment and Padmé chuckled.

"My friend here is both my pilot and my maid." Padme introduced Black Widow, "This is Shaitan, she is also a good friend of mine.

Rush nodded towards Black Widow.

"She is a special friend, and one I trust very much," Padmé said.

"Any friend of Padmé is a friend of mine," said Rush, extending his hand. "Rush Clovis, ma'am."

"Of course, sir." She then escorted the two men into the boat. "Now please take your seats, because we will be taking off shortly."

"If you're tired, you can rest your head on my shoulder."

"Haha~ Wow, that's bad." The Wasp said, flying from Black Widow to one of the seats.

"Some people must be having a hard time right now," Black Widow whispered, causing the shrunken Wasp to chuckle.

Padmé heard the two people's teasing from the communicator in her ear and could only roll her eyes silently.

"We are ready to fly, Shaitan," Padmé said.

The SHIELD agent nodded to her co-pilot and they quickly adjusted the controls and flew towards Cato Neimoidia.

The spacecraft rose from the platform and then took off.

Shortly after takeoff, Lash appeared to try to get closer to Padmé, but was brushed off by Padmé.

For most of the trip, the shrunken Wasp was bored and noticed more of Padmé's behavior, things that seemed familiar to her.
