Natasha barely spared a glance for the extraction team, heading straight for Fury. "Where is he?" she growled, "Where is Clint?" "Natasha Im so sorry...". And for once Fury looked vaguely apologetic. On the other side of the world a young man woke up in a room that would be so very familiar, if only he could remember.

1. Chapter 1

Ronin

Prologue

'I met Clint Barton in Paris, I know very romantic. Truth is it was not. He was sent to kill me and instead let me live, lovely isn't it? He brought me back to SHEILD and somehow convinced Fury to employ. Don't ask me how Im still trying to work it out. Despite what many people believe Clint and I were never in a relationship, the thought of dating him is quite frankly disgusting. He was like a younger brother to me, annoying and sarcastic and completely wonderful.

There really is not much to tell, how do you explain your best friend and confident to people he hardly knew, much less knew him?

But I will tell you this, the day Clint Barton drowned off the coast of Ireland, a piece of me died with him".

Natasha stepped off the podium, taking one look inside the coffin before she took her place in the crowd, even though she knew what was in there.

Nothing. When the extraction team had gotten to Clint's last location there had been nothing left but a flaming yacht.

Natasha wanted to cry, but the Black Widow shed no tears.
