Ok guys, thank you for your positive reviews. So as I promised here is a new chapter. Little by little we'll discover Natasha and Clint's background since they met.

"Hey" Clint said to Natasha entering to the room where she was working.

"Hey!" Natasha said with a worried tone. Clint sat next to her.

"So what's going on?" Clint asked.

"Yeah...we may have a problem...like a big big problem" Natasha started explaining. "I was checking on some files for a mission in Warsaw and this appeared." She said showing a photo on her computer. Clint was astonished; he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"When was this taken?" He said still confused.

"A couple of days ago. The photo is original; it hasn't been altered at all." She said biting her nails.

"Wait...but, how can this be possible...we kill him!" Clint said more confused than ever.

"Apparently, we didn't. I don't know how he survived." She said.

"We need to talk to Fury" Clint said.

"Save it Barton, I know about Komarov. You think I assigned you to this mission randomly." Fury said appearing from nowhere. "Imagine my surprise when I saw a man who was supposed to be killed by you two." He continued while the agents just looked at him.

"Sir, seriously we thought that too. We shot him THREE TIMES! There was no one else there. We saw him lying..." Natasha tried to explain even though she had no clue what was going on.

"I'm aware of that; I've already checked your reports. Still it looks like he's very alive."

"The Council knows about this?" Clint asked.

"They'll have to. But I wouldn't worry about them as much as where is Komarov and what does he want."

"We only have that photo." Natasha pointed out.

"I know that's why I'm just warning you. You need to be careful."

"Yes sir." Clint said.

"You're dismissed." Fury said and both agents left the room. Fury wasn't going to let it show but he was really concern about those two. Natasha and Clint left the room. Both of them were confused and angry at the same time.

"Damn cockroach! Why didn't he die?" Natasha said as soon as they reach a more or less private place in the base.

"I don't know" Clint said not knowing what else to say. Natasha breathed strongly trying to relax. "Hey" Clint said getting closer touching her arm to comfort her. He wanted to hug her and tell her that it was going to be ok but just couldn't, not there. Natasha calmed down and decided to go back to the apartment to talk better.

-Flashback-

Saint Petersburg, Russia. 2006

Barton had just arrived to Saint Petersburg a few hours ago. Director Fury had given him one of the most important missions ever: eliminate the Black Widow. He had been studied her for a few weeks and thought he could get her easily. But this wasn't a normal elimination mission. SHIELD knew that the Widow was working for a man named Viktor Komarov. He was one of the most famous mafia guys in Russia. Fury decided to send Clint undercover instead of just killing her. He thought that maybe they can get information about Komarov or even caught him with the Black Widow.

Barton was going to infiltrate into Komarov's men team acting as a professional that will help them to do "business". With his perfect Russian, there shouldn't have been any problem.

"Mr. Zharkov" Komarov said receiving Clint in his house. The house was amazing, it was a mansion.

"Mr. Komarov." Clint responded shaking hands with him.

"So, I believe we could start with our business." Komarov said giving him a sign to pass to the living room where the rest of the men were waiting for them. Clint could have recognized at least five of the criminals with more reputation in there, between thieves, dealers and killers.

"Guys, this is Alexander Zharkov. He will be helping us." Komarov introduced him.

"What does he do?" One of the guys asked. He was Sergei Volkov, a weapons dealer known all over Eastern Europe.

"I've done works for the mafia for a while, before that I was an analyst for the government until they accused me for selling information."

"Hmm…nice." Sergei replied. "Does Natasha know about him?" He asked Komarov.

"She'll be here any minute." He answered.

"She's not going to like it, you know how she is." Sergei said.

"That's her problem. I'm the boss here." Komarov said and left the room.

Sergei laughed. "Sorry, when you met her you'll see what I mean. She doesn't like anyone and she's always fighting with Komarov."

"Then why is she still here?" Clint asked acting like if he had no idea of whom she was. He also wanted to know how other people see her.

"You haven't heard of the Black Widow?" Asked another man, he was Mikhail Pavlov, a well-known "merchant".

"Oh, so that's her." Clint said. Everyone in the criminal community knew about her. She was the Black Widow, that's not a title people ignore.

"Yeah, that and the fact that Komarov have been wanting to sleep with her since he met her." Sergei said. "Although I don't blame him, anyone would want to." The guys started to talk about her.

"You think I haven't tried? She just won't open her legs." Said one of them in reply to one of the comments some other made. They discussed for a while more. Clint was just listening to them until they heard someone clearing her throat, Natasha.

"Widow!" Sergei reacted. Natasha didn't say anything, just looked at the guys.

"Ah, great you're here." Komarov said referring to Natasha.

"This is Alexander Zharkov. He'll be working with us for a while." Komarov said and Natasha took a look at Clint.

"That's why you called?" Natasha asked.

"Since you'll be working for a while, I thought you''ll want to meet each other." He told her. "This is Natasha Romanova." He introduced her.

"Hey"

"Hey" They both said. Clint was surprised, he had heard about her, but he didn't expected that. He obviously expected her to be beautiful and everything but as soon as she steps in the room, it could be felt her strong character and presence. Natasha on the other side was not very happy when a new guy got in, she didn't trust a lot of people. But she had to admit the sight wasn't bad after all. She had never heard of him which made her doubt more.
