Steve saw Natasha swirling on the dance floor waving her hand encouraging him forwards as their friends waltzed around the dance floor in the Avenger's Tower. "Steve come and dance with me," Natahsa giggled as she twirled around. The music blared in the background as he stared at her beauty, grinning as he made a move towards her. He wrapped his arms around her small waist tugging her into his chest. Her palm rested above his heart whilst her other arm wrapped around his neck pulling his head nearer to hers. As their heads titled towards each other the lights went out. Everyone stopped dancing and all was quiet. Subconsciously Steve tugged Natasha nearer to him. A crying could be heard. He recognised the voice... he looked down to see Natasha clutching her side whilst thick red blood spilled from her lips. Natasha choked on her blood desperately trying to speak as Steve lowered her carefully to the ground. "Shh Shh It's okay my love, I've got you. Everything's gonna be okay," he murmured trying to keep his tears at bay. " Ste- Steve I- I- I love you, please stay strong for me. I'm scared- I don't want to die yet. " she cried. Steve held her tight in his arms stroking her hair, rocking her body as he gasped " I love you too. It's alrigh, everything's going to be fine, you have nothing to fear I'm right here." Just as he did her eyes shut and she lay still with a small smile painting her lips.
"Nooooo, come back to me Nat." Steve screamed waking up with a gasp. 'It was all a dream,' he repeated in his mind as tears streamed down his face. After that he couldn't go back to sleep so he sat in his leather armchair and sketched her face smiling brightly at him from memory.
The Next Day
The Avengers gathered around the room considering how to go ahead with catching the criminal.
Steve- "Was anyone in the room when Nat was shot?"
Tony- " I was."
Flashback
Anyway, if your tower's so great, then why aren't the lights on and why isn't Jarvis working?"
"Well that's what I'm trying to-" A door opened and a dark object rolled across the floor, interrupting Stark's sentence.
"Grenade!" Natasha shouted as they ran to the other side of the room, to a steel door that would not budge. She growled in frustration.
"Where's Banner and Thor?" She whispered sharply, glaring at Tony.
"Above us, hopefully coming to save our butts."
"Is yours even worth saving?" She replied as he pretended to be offended by he words. However, before the billionaire could shoot something witty back at her, another voice interrupted them, the voice cold as ice and sending prickles down both their spines.
"I'll have you know Natalie, you will come back to your true home, where I shall make you strong once again. You have become weak here, but I will will strengthen you and bring you back to the darkness that once controlled you."
After a few calculated moments of silence, she shot back coldly, "I do not fear you and will not return."
A little tsk on the person's behalf. "I feared you would say that. Your friend dies unless you come with me," the voice ended its sentence with a snarl.
"Don't do it, Nat," Stark pleaded, genuinely looking rather worried.
"I'm sorry, Tony. Fine, I will come with you," she spoke, walking towards the figure in careful steps.
"You are too easy, Natalia, I thought I trained you better than that!"
"You have me. Now let him go."
"I thought you'd know better than that," the dark voice replied, lifting a gun.
"You promised..."
"I did no such thing, Romanova." The gun aimed at Tony instantly went bang and three bullets shit out. But they didn't touch Tony- they had landed in her chest when she'd jumped in front of Stark and landed with a crack on the floor, breaking a rib bone.
"No," Tony screams as Thor and Bruce arrive to find her laying there, crimson blood already beginning to ooze out of her bullet wounds. With one glimpse at her, they turned to around to beat the shit out the men, but most had escaped already.
"I will be back, Natalia," the shadow swiftly disappeared from the room in time for an escape.
Tony recalled the events to the team.
Wanda- " Who is he?"
Tony- " I have no idea but he mentioned he trained her and he called her Natalia so maybe Red Room or KGB?"
Bruce- " You said he wanted to strengthen her so why bother shooting her with poison it doesn't make sense?"
Sam - "Exactly, none of this adds up!"
Jarvis interrupted through the speaker "Mr Rogers, Dr Cho is on the line she says she's has discovered something of importance in Natasha's case it may save her life."
"Jarvis let her through please," Steve responded with his eyes widened in shock.
"Hello?" Dr Cho asked
"Hello Dr Cho this is Steve, your on speaker"
"Oh ok, hello everyone. Natasha's condition has been slowed thanks to the cryofreeze chamber. I had noticed that her serum was fighting the poison but it was not strong enough to stop hit. Is there anyway we could use your blood containing your serum and put it into Natasha? It might be strong enough to fight the poison. She would however gain all your capabilities but still not quite as powerful as yours but the closest anyone will ever get."
"I don't care about that, if it could save her life I would be more than willing to give her my blood."
"Ok, come in tomorrow and we will start the transfusion."
"Thank you Dr Cho."
"Don't thank me yet"
Alexi spoke to another general at the KGB " The plan is in place, they have figured it out. All we do now is wait,"
"You better be right about this otherwise you will pay the price." The general responded gravely.
