EDIT: ( July 21st 2015) Spelling mistakes!

Back of the van. The space was filled with two different people. Natalia sat on a bench and her capturer sits on the opposite. She was handcuffed, but she was relaxed. She leaned onto the van. Her leg was temporarily patched up, stopped the bleeding. She watched the archer look through her bag and throwing out all her make up and personal items. Her guns were taken care of before. No one noticed the serum bottle, she disguised it as a hand sanitizer. She kept eyes on it the whole time, and he doesn't suspect a thing.

" You were pretty fast, sweetheart." He let out, breaking the silence.

" Don't call me sweetheart" Natasha replied, cold.

" Black Widow doesn't like nicknames then?" He raises his eyebrows.

" Romanova, didn't you read any files?" She kept going.

" Well aren't last names a bit boring?" He continued.

" Only for you." She let out.

The assassin was done looking into her purse, he then sat back up straight and leaned closer to her, his elbows on his thighs, and held the weight of his heavy body. The tension rises.

" Don't you want to know who I am?" He questioned.

She hesitated, but then answered.

" Tell."

" Hawkeye." He quickly explained. " World-class assassin and archer. Super attractive and extremely funny, and also an incredibly nice man to let someone like you live." He smirked. He noticed she didn't react.

" What? Doesn't spark up anything?" He was slightly surprised. "Clint Barton" He finally let out.

" Nope." She looked at him.

Clint let out a sigh before he pulled himself up to sit back.

"2 years ago, Austria, you were assigned to get information from a couple, and then eliminate the target. I was sent there too. Surprised by what you did actually." He told. Natalia continued to listen. She was remembering.

" Schmidt family? You're with SHIELD then." She exhaled tiredly.

" You didn't notice that during the fight we just had?"

" No actually, as you know I was busy."

" Thought you were trained better." He looked away, taking a deep breathe.

Natalia stepped on his feet, hard. He jumped and then looked at her, startled and angry. She just looked at him, emotionless but full of temptation, tempting him to fight back, but she knew he has the advantage. She did it to see his reaction, analyzing him.

" Sorry. " He grumbled.

He sat back down, only further away.

" So what's with the blonde hair?" He changed the subject immediately.

" Not your business"

" Where did you put it? The serum. You had it with you when you left." He gave her a dangerous glare. He was serious. Natalia didn't speak. She replied with the same terrifying stare.

" It's the hand sanitizer is it?" He picked it up. " Caught you staring at it." Still the same expression as before. She wasn't entertained. But it's not his job to entertain her.

" This thing," He holds the bottle up. " It's what SHIELD's been after, for whatever reason I don't know. It's been popping up and disappearing on our radar for a couple of months, and so did you." He informed.

" Not long after my handler assigned me on hunting both down. I guess it's a jackpot. I can't do much besides watch you. You broke my com, there's no signal and it will be awhile before the agents, who you gave a beating to, can fix the connection again." He heaved out a sigh. His face was in bad condition. Natalia's fault. But he was used to it, got beat up too many times.

" What 'cha gonna do?" She asked. " You didn't kill me, so there must be something you want." She raises an eyebrow.

" What do you want?" He seemed tired. " There's gotta be something you want too"

She shrugged. She was exhausted, she didn't know what to do. Her life was planned out, she was built to follow orders. When it comes to her own, she didn't know what to do, but to escape the structure. After that she didn't exactly have a plan. Clint could see the emptiness in her eyes. But he reminded himself to be careful, because the Black Widow could fake any act. The Black Widow was mischievous, cruel and manipulative. She lures her prey before she kills them. She has terrifying skills in combat and survival, her mind works constantly, almost nothing can fool her. She was downright scary. But beneath that shell was different. She was hard to read. Layers of her was built. She was everything at once.

" What do you plan to do, after all of this, if I decided not to kill you later?" He continued anyways.

" Get a decent coffee." She replied.

Clint let out a small laugh. Natalia held back hers.

" Look, how about we make a deal." He suggested. " I don't kill you, and you don't kill me." Natalia raises an eyebrow. " I want a holiday as much as you sweetheart, and I was about to have one when you started causing trouble. I was going to back down but I've always wanted to meet the infamous Black Widow." He chuckled. Sarcastic bastard. Natalia was still having a million thoughts about him as he talks. " I think you deserve a vacation as much as I do. Working this kind of job just drives you insane. 'Sides, I wanna see you save more people." He looks up to her eyes. He knew she was a good one. Just a little messed up, maybe more but she was a good one.

She stayed quiet, but eventually closed her eyes and let out a small sigh.

"How did you know?"

"Took me a week to figure it out. You faked their deaths so you could save them." He told. " And that wasn't the only time, as I recall. There was a car chase, and some of our agents were cornering you. You crashed into other cars, caused a traffic. It was dark, and gunshots were heard everywhere, you were the one who told the people to run. I remembered your voice. I was eavesdropping that day."

Natalia just stared at him, he was right.

" I think you deserve a second chance. You could choose to run off, and I'll fake this mission as a failure, let you knock all of us down and run. You could choose to go back to doing your mission with this serum here." He held the bottle up, it must take all of him to just let go such a dangerous object when it was so easy to just grab it and leave. " Or you could come with me. I bet SHIELD gives more vacations then the Red Room."

Natalia stared at him. She was analyzing him. If she ran, would he come back and hunt her down again? Red Room won't let this pass. She knew this guy would kill her as easily and she could with him. Except she's wounded, she might be in a slight disadvantage. Slight.

"SHIELD" She answered.

" Good choice" He smirked. He stood up. " By the way, what should I call you? Natalia Romanova is kinda long. Natasha? It sounds similar."

She gave him an unamused look. "Acceptable." She paused. " Make it Romanoff too".
