So I've had this (mostly the phrase "gunpointe", in all honestly) idea playing around in my head since I saw AoU and the nightmare sequence Wanda gave Natasha. As I had about seven hours in the car yesterday, I finally got around to writing it out. Add in being in a foreign country (Spain is incredible, just by the way) and not wanting to go to the beach with the rest of my family, and suddenly there's time to post it!

Anyway, this is a freeverse character exploration of Natasha. There's a slight romantic aspect that can be viewed as Clintasha OR Brutasha(?) - or NatashaX any male charcter - but it's mostly unimportant. Hope you enjoy!
