Review!

Back at SHIELD's base Wanda was hacking into Black Dragon. "Status report!" Natasha said as she walked in. "Almost have their location" "Good." Natasha nodded. As Natasha headed back, her comm went off, indicating she had a new message.

Natasha pulled up the video and gasped at what she saw. Rhodey had James tied up and was beating down on him. "No..." Natasha whispered. Her baby boy, brutally being beaten at the hands of her worst enemy. It made Natasha sick to her stomach. "We need to find him now" Yes ma'am." Natasha sighed as the others doubled their attempts to find James.

She had to find her little boy, get him out of Rhodey's hands. She might not have acted like she cared much, but she did.

To Steve, she never once helped raise him. Natasha would find James, though, and wouldn't let him be hurt. Steve walked in and said" Find anything?" "They're working on it." Natasha replied.

"When we get him back, I'm taking him home" "No." "This job is going to get him killed Natasha" "He's not a little boy anymore, Steve."

Where were you when he fell down the stairs and broke his knee when he was six?" Natasha opened her mouth but had no reply.

"Where were you when he was sixteen; got into a car accident and almost died?" Again, Natasha had no answer. "You were busy trying to find Rhodey""If I had found Rhodey, this wouldn't have happened!"

"The Black Dragon has been targeting him since he was born, even if Rhodey died; they would come after him" But it would've helped to have him away!"

"But they probably would've still taken him!" Steve argued. Natasha walked away from him. "I almost thought you changed General, turns out I'm wrong" Natasha spun around and glared at him, "Don't act like that. Don't act like I don't care."

"You chose your job over James when he was TEN!" "That was then." Steve scoffed, "You haven't changed a bit." Natasha rolled her eyes and also walked off.

She was going to find James if it was the last thing she did.

Meanwhile, back at the Black Dragon hideout, Rhodey was drawing James' blood. He knew James was skilled, like Steve was. Perhaps it was generic? Rhodey studied the blood under a microscope, searching for differences.

There weren't many that he could see. Rhodey frowned and turned back to James. James was being compliant with what Rhodey was asking him to do, which was good. That meant that Rhodey could experiment on him all he wanted.

Unknown to Rhodey, though, James was trying to shake off the brainwashing. Inside his mind, James was pushing away and fighting with the brainwashing. He didn't want Rhodey to be able to use him.

James concentrated hard and broke off from the brainwashing that Rhodey had over him. James jumped up and began to sneak up on Rhodey. Rhodey spun around at that moment and grabbed James. James struggled against Rhodey's grip, but Rhodey was too strong. He shoved James back onto the table and tied him down with the leather straps on the side of the table.

Rhodey shook his head, "Then we'll have to do this the hard way." Rhodey grabbed a knotted cloth and shoved it into James's mouth.

"Mmph!" James yelled as Rhodey tied it behind his head. Rhodey smirked and set up another video to send to Natasha. "Say hi to Mommy." Rhodey said mockingly to James as he moved the camera to face him. James shook his head at the camera, silently urging his mother not to come and save him.

Rhodey pressed a knife to his throat. James strained back and away from it. "Poor little James Rogers, wonder if you scream like your mother too"

James growled at him. Rhodey pressed the knife against James' arm and cut across it. James let out a muffled yell. Rhodey smirked and repeated the action, this time near James' ribs.

James let out another muffled yell. Rhodey smirked and stabbed the knife into James's side. James screamed. Rhodey smirked. "Ya scream like your mom." James glared at him, blinking back tears of pain. Rhodey laughed and cut James again.

James cried out again. Rhodey smirked and cleaned off his knife. James let out a low groan of pain. Rhodey smirked and flicked off the camera, sending the video to Natasha.

Rhodey sat back and smirked. He was right, James screamed like his mother. And his mother would soon be screaming too...

Back at the SHIELD base, Natasha and the others were still looking for James when they got another video. "General Romanoff, we have another video." Barton said.

"Open it then!" Natasha barked. Team SHIELD, aside from Pietro, gasped when they saw the video. Their leader, James, bruised and bloodied. Rhodey cutting and stabbing him. Although Pietro could not see what was happening, he could hear the video. The video and his friend's reactions.

Pietro could hear their gasps of shock and reached out telepathically to see if he could 'see' what the video was. Pietro was able to tap into his sister's mind and gasped.

He 'saw' the video they had seen. James being tortured by Rhodey. Pietro severed the connection instantly. "We need to find the b*stard and make him pay for what he's done to my son!" Natasha seethed.

"Our son" Natasha glared at Steve. Steve met her gaze steadily, not giving in. Natasha growled lowly, annoyed at her ex-husband. She turned back to Team SHIELD. "Find James." She commanded.

The team nodded and worked on finding their leader. Natasha sighed, frustration filling her body. Her son was in the hands of her worst enemy and her ex was being a d*ck.

But there was no way in hell she wasn't going to get James back. She'd deal with Steve later.

James was top priority right now.
