I lay chained down to a table trying to collect myself, waiting for my captors to return. This was suppost to be like any other mission. Enter Moscow with Steve, Clint, and the newest member of the team, James Barns. We were to apprehend or terminate a man named Abram Popov who was expected to have a connection to HYDRA. The heavy metal door swings open and my captors return.

"Hello Natalia we have missed you" a deep, husky voice says. My heart stops, that voice can only belong Ivan Somodorov.

"Welcome to the newest adaption of the Black Widow program. Now we can begin by discussing what you have learned from the Americans" he sneers at me with his hard, cold eyes. I have take a deep breath because I cant let the situation I am currently in rattle me. "Yeah like that's gonna happen" I scoff. Surely he doesn't expect me to just divulge everything I know to him. Suddenly the right side of my face stings and I realize he slapped me, not that I am surprised as he never did like my smart comments.

"You will tell us. The only question that remains is how much pain you will suffer before you do" he threatens. I lay still saying nothing. A few minutes later a I hear a grating sound which is only made by running two metal objects together which means he is sharpening a knife. I steel myself for what is to come next trying to calm my racing heart.

"Pity to ruin such a pretty face" he says as he runs the newly sharpened blade down the other side of face. I steel my features refusing to give him the satisfaction of knowing my pain. I can feel my warm, wet blood from the new gash across my cheek run down my neck and hear it splattering on the floor.

"Is that the best you can do? My team will find me and they will destroy you once and for all" I promise with a cocky grin across my face.

"Oh I highly doubt that Captain America, Hawkeye are dead, and James Barns is under our control again. In fact he is here maybe he can help me out just like he used to when you and the other girls were being stubborn. What do you think?" With that he walks out of the room leaving me in the darkness of my own thoughts. "It cant be true. What has he done with them? Surely Tony, Wanda, Sam and the others are looking for us. I know I need to rest before he comes back to start with me again so I close my eyes and eventually fall into a very light sleep.
