Previously,

The two of them were busy discussing scientific formula, and did not notice that a figure was climbing through the air vent. The figure paused to listen to their conversation before continuing to crawl through the air vent. The figure reached the infirmary and he climbed out from it.


The man pull an injection out from his belt, showing his bionic left hand. He went closer to Natasha and injected her and took a moment to careless her face. And within a second, Natasha's head beat began increasing rapidly, her BP is dropping and her pressure is over the roof.

Flashback

1950, Training Facility 'Red Room' near Moscow USSR

"[Natalia Romanova, Superior Wills ask for your presences.]" An averaged ranked guard came to get her during her daily training. Her secret relationship with the Winter Soldier has been a occasionally one. Even it's been a daily routine for the both of them to train together every morning and hug each other to sleep at night. It was not everyday they got to see each other. Sometimes, days or months. However, their relationship has been full of fear, fear of the day both of them knew it would come eventually. Fear of the day when they are being force to separated. They have both been injected the age defying serum. They still look like their twenties.

Natasha walked into her boss Superior Ivan Wills with respect that she was taught. "[Sir, what new mission do you have for me?]" Natasha asked standing in a soldier posture.

"[Stand easy. I have rather bad news for you Natalia.]" Superior Wills said in an all business tone. "[You would be going on a mission with the Winter Soldier tomorrow to Singapore.]"

"[With all due respect Sir, how is this bad news?]" Natasha asked raising an eye brown.

"[It would be your last mission. Your relationship with the Winter Soldier has been reported to the Superiors. It have been decided that you would marry Alexi Shostakov one of our best test pilot and be a good housewife and never see the Winter Soldier again.]" Her Superior explains.

"[I will not agree to it Sir!]" Natasha was dumbfounded by what was just told to her.

"[This is not a discussion! This is an order! You have broken our law; you should feel proud that you were not even being punished!]" Her Superior banged his table full of rage.

"[I will never agree to this, can I leave now?]" Natasha said calming herself down.

"[You better think twice. You may leave.]"

After Natasha have leaved the room. Superior Wills picked up his telephone and dial a number and said, "[Proceed with Plan B.]"

After the mission with Winter Soldier in Singapore

"[What is wrong Natalia? The mission is a success one, but why are you moping?]" James asked her with concern, before wrapping his strong arms around her waist.

"[We've been compromised, they have found out about us and they have arranged me for a marriage with Alexi Shostakov. This would be our last mission together, and we will never see each other again.]" Natasha explained, bringing her hand up to careless his face.

"[Alexi Shostakov is the best pilot the Soviet Union has. But I am the best assassin the Soviet Union has. I would do anything it does to prevent that from happening.]" James said, bringing his own warm hands to take hers and kiss it.

"[They could kill you or worst, torture you.]" Natasha answered worriedly.

"[I have been through much worst, it's going to be all right.]" James said before silencing her with his own lips.

Present

The Avengers have been alerted by JARVIS that Natasha's condition has worsened. All of them rushed to the infirmary. By the time all of them got there, Tony and Bruce is already working on Natasha, while the others watch helplessly outside through the clear glass. About half an hour later, they came out.

"Is she all right?" Clint asked.

"Miss Romanoff inside has a really strange anatomy." Tony joked.

"I agree with Tony. Natasha is actually recovering." Bruce explained.

"But how? She was crashing a while ago." Sharon asked.

"Some antidote was injected into her blood stream. She was crashing because her body was actually adapting to the antidote." Bruce explained.

"Romanoff got her antidote, she is recovering, why do I still hear a but coming?" Fury asked.

Bruce and Tony looked at each other, before Tony said. "But… The spooky thing is that we weren't the one who given her the antidote and we have found out that Miss Natasha have been hiding from us somethings." Tony stopped trying to let his audience adapt to what he was saying.

"Then who gave her the antidote?" Thor asked.

"We have no idea." Bruce answered.

"Then what is it that you guys found out about her?" Steve asked curiously.

"The antidote given to Natasha was too strong for a normal person. So we conducted tests and we found out a serum in her bloodstream. "Bruce explained. But the rest of the Avengers still didn't see the problem.

"Which also means that, Ms Natasha inside is also a super soldier. Well a female version and she could older than she looked. Possibly, even older than Mr Iceman." Tony explained and received a glare from Steve.

"We will find out more from her when she wakes up. But now, we could to find out who was good enough to even past the JARVIS security system and got away with it." Fury ordered.

"We could get the security footage from the infirmary." Tony said.

At the conference room

Tony was fast forwarding, when it shows the Winter Soldier jumping down from the air vent and injected her with the antidote.

"Who is Mr Metal?" Tony asked, pointing at James' bionic arm.

"This man looks familiar, Fury do you have any idea?" Steve asked.

Before the television shows, James carelesing Natasha's face before leaving. Fury was about to speak when they all heard a sound from behind and turned towards it. It was Natasha, still in her patient clothes. Her eyes was a little watery when she saw the figure in the television. It was a sight of her no one has ever seen. No one except the Winter Soldier has seen.

"James…." Natasha whispered.
