Dottie Underwood was many things, but she did not know how to be a mother.
A spy, assassin, and a lier she could be in her sleep. So Dottie did the only thing she could think of. She hid her little girl, Natalie Romanov. When the red room captured Dottie back, she was able to send Natalie to someone she trusted.
Dottie went to work and started getting jobs. The red room was able to hide, that in the year of 1931. The red room had got word that Dottie had a child. When they took Natalie at the age of three. The brought her in and out of Cryo. They had Natalie for 48 years. 1932-1980. During those years she only aged 3, making her six.
Dottie, during that time, had no clue what was happening to her daughter. Since she had been given the serum, even before her daughter had been born, making Natalie her the serum. That serum was made before Steve Rogers got his. The base where Dottie had been given was under attack, and the serum it's self almost killed her after.
One of Dottie's most important mission she had been given. Was to assassinate Margaret Carter. When the mission didn't go as plan, Peggy was able to get away from the clutches over Underwood, but not without being deadly injured. When Carter got back to America, Howard Stark and a team of doctors had to work together to save her, when she was able to live she got put into a coma. Not ever knowing when she will wake.
What Peggy did not know was the effect she had Dottie. Peggy said, "You could always change. You could leave. I can see it in your eyes that you want to. So what's stoping you?" Well the question did lead to Peppy getting stabbed.
In truth, Dottie was staying because she didn't know what else to do. She did know that she had to save Peggy. She broke into the labs that held a version of the serum she was gave.
When Dottie entered Stark Labs, the first couple floors where easy to get by, but the medical floor, that one was hard. They had agents at every door. Dottie was able to sneak through the vents, and get to Carters room. Right there on the bed was a British, brown head, and co-maker of SHEILD, Margaret Carter. It would be so easy to kill her and finish the mission, but something in Dottie told her not to kill this woman. She would be important. Dottie slips out of the vents, with know one in the room she walks up to the medical bag, ready to switch one of the medicines out for the serum, when Howard Stark walks in the room.
As soon as Howard sees her, he calls for help, "Hey get away from her! I need some help in here!" He grabs a scalpel laying on one of the medical trays. "What are you doing?" Agents walk in behind him, all with there own guns up and ready to shot.
Dottie grabs the serum, "I was going to give her this. It's a version of the serum I have. She should wake up if she gets this." Howard grabs the serum giving it to one of the doctors, "Why should we trust you?" Dottie shakes her head, "You shouldn't, but there was something that she said to me. Now I need to pay her back. I need to save her."
They doctor walks back into the room, "This should work, it's not poison." Howard glances at Dottie before looking at the nurse, "Give it to her. Underwood sit in that chair bye the corner. Once the doctors put all the serum in Peggy, Dottie pulls out a smoke bomb. Before anyone can do anything about it, the smoke bomb goes off and when the all wake up Peggy is awake and Dottie is gone. All of this happens in 1969.
In 1980, Dottie gets word the Red Room has her daughter. So she plans, days in and out, on know sleep, water, and food. When she finally has everything right she attacks, December 29.

Dottie silences the guards, leavening them to the team she made. When she gets into the room with the tanks, there are two. Dottie want to so bad save the other man in there, but she knows she only has time for her little girl.
When she gets the code in to the tank she watches the doors open, she can see her beautiful, red head daughter. As she starts to wake and open those green eyes. Dottie can see the fear they held. No six year old she have that much fear. Dottie walks closer making Natalie jerk back, "It's ok. I will protect you." Natalie stares up at her, "Who are you?" Dottie let's out a small smile, "I am your mama." Natalie grabs her hand.
New Years Day, the start of 1981. Peggy had everything planned. Wake up, go to work, send Fury home, and then, go to Howard's house for the party. Peggy was on time. She sent Fury home, telling him, 'Get a life.' Went to Howard's party. She will be the first to tell you that her favorite part of the party's now days was Tony. That smart 7 year old boy.
Tony loves his Anut Peggy. Anytime his dad yells or hits him Peggy is the first call. She always answers. So at the party when she gets a text message saying, 'Come Home D.U." She gets up right away telling Howard she is leaving, but making sure she tells Tony bye.
When Peggy gets to her apartment she hears the tv on playing cartoons. As she gets in the apartment she sees a red head, little six year old asleep on the couch.
Dottie comes around the corner, "Carter." Peggy turns around startled, "Underwood. What is going on?" Dottie glances at Natalie before saying, "I trust you. I don't know why, but I do. I really trust you. So I know you can keep her safe." Peggy looks at her confused, "What? I don't understand."
Dottie walks up to Natalie, "This is Natalie Romanov, my daughter. She was born in 1928. She got captured at age three. She looks and acts six, but she has been in cryo. So I am asking you to take her. Keep her safe away from them. Me, please, just keep her safe." Peggy walks forward, "I will keep her safe." Dottie nods, she bends down to Natatlie's face and whispers in Russian, "Mama, loves you baby girl." She kisses Natalie on the cheek.
Dottie walks over to the window, pulling it up, "Take care of her, or I will kill you." She gone. Peggy let's out a shaky breath looking at the little girl. She pulls out a phone, "Howard, yes. No. I need you to come to me apartment. Bring Tony. Goodbye."
