I walked down the hall and when I heard the door open and close behind me and I knew it was him,

"Don't," I said before he spoke and his jog slowed to a walk and when the elevator doors opened I walked, turned to face him and when I finally brought my eyes to his and gave him a death stare close to the ones I give weapon-wielding psychopaths and he faltered and stopped as the doors closed. I made sure I didn't think about anything Steve related on the ride down or as I walked out of the building. I hailed a cab and got inside giving him the address of a S.H.I.E.L.D. location where I could clear my head. I arrived, paid the driver and got out of the cab before it took off leaving me standing on the curb in front of a large warehouse building and I started to relax a bit when I knew this was as close to home as I was going to get at the moment and I went inside. I was stopped when I entered by a burly man in a suit,

"I'm sorry ma'am I am gonna have to ask you to leave the premises as this is private property," I said reaching a hand out in front of him, I looked at his hand,

"Agent Natasha Romanoff," I said looking up at him with a raised eyebrow. The man gulped but stuck to his orders,
"Unfortunately ma'am going to have to ask you to leave and if you don't then I will have to escort you," he finished starting to fidget under my glare that wasn't as bad as the one I gave Steve. Despite being one of the most renowned agents at S.H.I.E.L.D. many other agents still didn't know me or wouldn't believe me if I said who I was because of my small stature however I didn't have time to deal with this today and the fact that despite being afraid of me, this guy still thought he was better than me got under my skin more than it normally does so I decided to do something about it. I hit his throat so he couldn't speak, jabbed him quickly in the ribs which sent his body into spasm and as he fell I grabbed his arm and twisted so he landed face first and I then put my foot on his shoulder, the heel pressing firmly against his muscle and twisted his arm,

"Send a message to Director Fury telling him I am here and that I need to talk to him or Agent Hill regarding the mission, and don't ever try to touch me again." I finished before I released him and walked down the hall. I pushed open the large, heavy double doors which lead to a huge command room similar to the one on the Helicarrier except this was in a huge warehouse. From where I had entered I saw that this particular base was now being run by Agent Tena. Tena was annoying at best and when she was at her worst, let's just say I had visualised many ways of how to shut her up.

"Agent Romanoff, I don't remember Director Fury saying you would be here," she said with a smug smile because I was on her turf now and it didn't matter how close I was to Fury I was hers now in her eyes. She had absolutely no idea how wrong she was. "If you wait a moment, I will be with you shortly." She said and turned back to her conversation. As soon as she was no longer focused on me I left and headed towards the one place I wanted to go, the gym and then the armoury.

There were about ten people in the gym that were all new trainees from the local area and I knew the instructor. This particular instructor, Jonas, had it in for me since I broke his shoulder after he had called me a filthy Russian, I could have done much worse.

"Ah Romanoff," he said a smirk on his face, "Do you think you could spar with some of the recruits if you promise to go easy that is?" he asked after I had come out of the change room in sweats. I looked him up and down and at the faces of the hopefuls, most of them wouldn't make it as a field agent but I could tell they all hated him, except two guys that were pretty much clones of him,

"Sure," I said in return, a fake smile plastered on my face. Jonas made them pay attention as he flipped me over and pretended to deliver a simple takedown, everyone then partnered off and I was stuck with one of the Jonas clones. He looked me up and down and grinned, I simply rolled my eyes as his eyes drifted over my body,

"Ready?" I asked getting understandably impatient. He looked at me and kept the smug look on his face as he got into position. He went through the motions until he flipped me and didn't get it quite right,

"Make sure not to exert yourself to much," I said kicking myself for agreeing to this,

"Don't you worry about me honey," he said and grabbed my butt. Wrong move. He turned to laugh to the other clone and I pulled myself up using his shoulder, got my legs around his neck and twisted, bringing him tumbling to the floor. My foot kicked out and I stomped down hard on his outstretched arm, pinning it to the floor and wrapped my hand around his neck and I realised everyone had stopped to watch the takedown.

"I have you in a very interesting position at the moment…James," I said looking down at the name on his shirt, "You see I put the tiniest amount of pressure on your windpipe and I can make sure that you never speak again, I could shatter all the little bones in your wrist to the extent that you could never move your right hand again, which I'm sure would put a dampener on your love life. But you know what else I could do James?" I asked and he shook his head in a tiny jerking movement, "No? Well I could also crush your windpipe and you could suffocate to death, or I could snap your neck. Now the neck snapping is special because if I twist just right," I paused to turn his neck to the right so it was exposed, "I might not have to kill you, I could make you paralysed from either the waist or the neck down. Now you may say you could lift your legs and try and get me in a lock of some sort but I can tell you right now. That I have killed enough people to know that I could do at least half of the things I just explained to you before your feet even left the mat. And then I could get up dust off and go and get a cup of coffee and never think about you again because I have killed for a lot less. Now," I leaned in closer so it wasn't as much of a lesson to anyone who was listening and was just for James, "If you ever touch me like that again or anyone for that matter and I will personally make. Your. Life. Hell." I then got up dusted off as he gulped in air and I then pulled him up from the floor,

"Let that be a lesson to all of you," I said looking at each recruit, "Never underestimate an opponent by their size especially if they are Russian." I finished and walked over to Jonas and flipped him easily over my shoulder and grabbed his arm and put my foot on his shoulder and pressed down. He had snickered when James had made the advance and had scoffed when I had mentioned being Russian,

"How's the shoulder Jonas? It seems to have healed better than your ego and your dislike for my nationality, shall I see if I can re-break it so they can mend altogether?" I asked pressing harder.

"You know I have nothing but respect for you Agent Romanoff," he whimpered into the mat,

"And I for you Jonas," I said as I released his arm and walked off towards the armoury.

I must admit i had fun writing this chapter, i know it may have been a bit over the top but she is a highly trained assassin and if she if having emotional and relationship issues she is certainly not to be trifled with. I will update soon again please review and i hope you enjoyed the chapter.
