When Phil Coulson told me he was about to hand me my toughest assignment, I had no idea who I was being sent after. I'm sure my reaction was priceless.
When I first met her, she was blond. Her hair was near perfect, her eyes were to die for, and her smile was seductive. Practically any straight man or not-so-straight female would notice her curvy features and the air of confidence that surrounded her.
Luckily for me, I knew this wasn't just some beautiful woman. Her name was Natalia Romanova, a.k.a. the Black Widow. Seductress, murderer, spy. The Widow had a reputation among government agencies and among underground crowds. To the agencies, Romanova could crack almost any security system, could get any type of information she wanted, could convince anyone to do just about anything, and could look hot as Hell doing it. To the underground, Romanova could kill anyone with one hand tied behind her back (literally), could get any gang/Mafia leader to get on their knees and beg for their life, could retrieve any information she pleased, and could look hot as Hell doing it.
So far no one had stood a chance taking her down. Numerous assassins for hire had been sent after her, but none of them were able to get the job done. Two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had been sent to 'eliminate' the threat. Both had mysteriously disappeared.
Now, it was my turn to give it a shot.
