Wakanda, 2017
"So...you're telling me, Rogers and Maximoff are...'doing it'?" Natasha laughed cuddling into James.
"Mhm," James mumbled holding Natasha as close as possible. Clint and Sam had entered the room and Natasha immediately sat up, not ready for anyone to know about her James's relationship or...whatever it was.
"It's late what are you two doing up?" Natasha questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"We could ask you the same question."
"We were...just watching Tv."
"Looked like you were doing more than that to me," Clint said under his breath. Natasha got up and headed into the kitchen, motioning for James to follow.
"I'm hungry, are you?" Natasha said looking through the fridge, trying to distract James.
"I'm fine."
"Ok-" Natasha started to turn around but was startled by how close James was. "Well hey handsome, did you even think to warn me?"
"No, not really," James said with a smirk, pinning her up against the fridge. Bucky kissed Natasha lightly, then slowly deepened the kiss. "Должны ли мы принять это в мою комнату?" ["Shall we, take this into my room?"]
"Да, мы будем." ["Yes, we shall."] Natasha replied, catching her breath.
[...]
"So...you think there's something going on between Romanoff and Barnes?" Sam asked Clint, not seeing where he got that from.
"Yeah. I'm pretty sure they had somewhat of a past together," Clint said, slightly glancing at Sam as they continued to walk. "Think about it, they both were assassins in the Soviet Union. Both had their memory wiped repeatedly. And have you seen how they've been acting towards each other lately?" Sam nodded but stayed silent trying to connect the dots like Clint had.
"I'm going to beat you," Natasha yelled back to Barnes and started to jog.
"See," Clint said plainly.
"Since when is this a race?" Bucky questioned, taking off into a jog as well.
"Since now."
"I see what you mean," Sam said with an eye roll.
New York, 2017
"Yeah, I'll be there Pepper. Yeah ok. Love you too," Tony said ending the call. "And...land."
"Still no news on Cap and the rest of the team."
"Yeah, I doubt there will be for a while, Rhodes. See...if I could...somehow...get ahold of Natasha again." Tony said, exiting his suit, walking into the compound and pulling up a screen. "You know what? Jarvis, scan for facial recognition for Natasha."
"Tony, how do you know she's not with Rogers?" Rhodes questioned.
"Uh...I don't know...maybe because the last time I checked she was in Russia under the name of Victoria Volkova," Tony said pulling up the last known image of Natasha. "I highly doubt the rest of the team was there to help take care of, what I can only assume, was a personal mission."
"What do you mean by 'personal mission', Tony?"
"Well, Natasha had said, before this had all happened, a man with the initials R.Y. had fucked with one of her missions while she was still in the Red Room. They wiped her because of it."
"And...?"
"And...a man named Ruslan Yakovich was found dead a day after this picture was taken."
"So, you're saying she killed him?"
"That's exactly what I'm saying. I doubt she's with the rest of the team."
Russia, 2017
"Мистер Якович? Мисс Волкова здесь, чтобы увидеть вас." ["Mr. Yakovich? Miss Volkova is here to see you."]
"Впусти ее, Никлас." ["Let her in Niklas"] Yakovich ordered. Natasha nodded as she entered Yakovich's office. "Мисс Волкова, я вот у вас есть подарок для меня, да?" ["Miss Volkova, I here you have a gift for me, yes?"]
"If you consider death a gift," Natasha said in English, taking off her wig.
"Natalia...what I did was to protect my brother," Ruslan said with a thick Russian accent.
"Ruslan, what you did caused me to get my brain wiped."
"You were going to kill my brother."
"You and I both know he's not your brother."
"Natalia, please, have mercy."
"Did you have mercy on me?"
"Безопасность! Безопасность!" ["Security! Security!"] Ruslan yelled while pressing a button next to his desk.
"No point in doing that, I shut down the entire security system," Natasha said pulling out her gun. "I also changed the lock to your door so I could lock you in. Now, if you just stay still it'll be quick and painless."
"Natalia, please," Ruslan said, too scared to move, as Natasha crept behind him.
"Face the door Ruslan," Natasha ordered. Ruslan did as told, tears streaming down his face. Natasha raised the gun and angled it so when she shot it'd look like he was assassinated by someone outside the building...
Wakanda, 2017
"...I fired the gun and put on my wig as quickly as possible," Natasha explained.
"And...?" James asked.
"And I screamed," Natasha said glancing at James who had a raised eyebrow. "I ran out of the room and went to the nearest security officer and told him Ruslan was assassinated by someone on a nearby roof.
"Wow," Bucky said in amazement. "If someone caused me to get wiped I would've slowly killed him."
"Yeah well, I needed to get out of Russia as quickly as possible," Natasha giggled at his amusement. "I'm not proud of what I did, but I had to do it."
"I understand Natalia."
"I know you do," Natasha said with a quick smile. "I'm going to take a shower."
James stayed silent for a quick moment before realizing what she was doing. "Natalia, you're a tease."
"You didn't let me finish," Yes he did "Do you care to join me?"
A/N: I kinda had to throw in a bit of what's happening in New York. Didn't really do that the last story. Anyway, tell me what you think. :P
