Surviving, that's all Natalia's been doing ever since she was a little girl. She's been forced to kill, punished, broken, and put back together.

However, that may be difficult when a blue-eyed soldier comes to train her and compromises everything.

In which Clint corners Natalia in a hotel room, shots are fired, and a partnership accidentally sort-of happens. Yeah, another Strike Team Delta origin story.

Three weeks had gone by since the events in CA:TWS. After a botched mission, Natasha is sent to a safe house. She is trying to lay low and come to terms with her past and her relationship to the Winter Soldier. Until he finds her. (Bucky x Natasha)
