[ They had to sedate her in the end. The grogginess had lingered when she was herded off to orientation, which is why she chooses to stand on the train now. If there’s any justice in whatever world this is, the other passengers would leave her to scroll through her device in peace.
A man sitting nearby turns towards her and Natasha sighs. She would have been content to ignore him if he hadn’t addressed her in Russian. It gets him a quick glance, head to toe. The uniform under the coat is one she hasn't seen for decades but remembers intimately. The plain leather bracelet marks him as a dominant according to the city's designations. What are the chances, she thinks uncharitably, that the first person who's spoken to her here has these specific traits.
She isn’t concerned with modesty or bothered by the cold yet, but the offer seems genuine. From what she's learned so far, the key to surviving here as a submissive will depend heavily on gaining the favor of dominants. She would be a fool to turn down an opportunity, even if the irony of it being a Soviet pilot feels like bile rising in her throat.
