Red Hair Pungent Peaches

I'm creating a mantra of the most important things about her. It can't be much, but it's small enough I'm hoping I will remember it once I'm under the haze of the winter soldier again. Red Hair. Pungent peaches. Marquis necklace. Three taps to my pulse line. Bucky and Natasha have a long history, but how does it all fit within the MCU? Read-on to find out! #WinterWidow

Red hair. Pungent peaches.

It whips around as she leaps onto me to get a better grip for my submission. I quickly flip her off me and begin to barrel through her, just another objective.

"You could at least recognize me," She pants out through clenched teeth while gripping my wrist.

As she struggles, it's the marquis necklace which catches my eye.

I know that marquis necklace.

I blink through the haze, and for a split second I imagine her large smile and tears of joy as I get down on one knee before her.

A jolt to my back shakes me from my reverie and my grip on her neck slips. As it slips, so does she, and the pale memory fades away.

Defend. Escape. Survive.
