Author's Note:

Hello! Short drabble from me!

Prompt was by ThisVioletofMine, and even though I'm pretty sure she was joking, I wanted to write it anyway!


Natasha Romanoff has faced a lot of challenges in her life, from her time in the Red Room, KGB, S.H.I.E.L.D and Avengers, you would think she would be able to do anything. But there comes a time in an assassin's life when they have met their match. This would usually be a target whom they are unable to kill, or a situation which takes them out of the running- usually by losing their own lives.

However, the most challenging tasks are always the ones in which you are not prepared for.

Natasha rolled up her long sleeves and took a slow breath before darting forward and capturing the intruder. "You will get away with this, no longer." She promised menacingly, her expression pure determination.

The intruder looked at the assassin and meowed.

Natasha wasn't sure how the cat always managed to get into her apartment, but this was the last time it left muddy paw prints over her floors. She crossed the house and entered the bathroom, closing and locking the door behind her. "It's time that you had a bath."

With a swift motion, Natasha placed the cat into the pre-prepared bath. The cat instantly reacted, obviously not liking the bath and attempted to claw itself out of the bath, but to no avail. No matter how much scratching and clawing at its 'attacker' the cat could not get out of the water.

With quick and calculated movements, Natasha soaked, washed and rinsed the cat, all the while, ignoring the nasty cuts now on her arms and face. She finally let the cat out, grabbing a towel and half drying, half stroking the little ball of fur. "There, now that's better." She let out a sigh of relief.

When Natasha carried the cat- still wrapped in a towel- out from the bathroom, it finally started to calm down.

"I'm going to call you Liho." She decided with a smile.
