"You've lost your mind" she said in complete shock. He spun her around so they were eye to eye, or as close to that they could manage with her being a good foot shorter than himself.

"I know what you're thinking right now, I know that you want out of this life but you can't see any way other than getting yourself killed. So come to SHIELD with me, I'm giving you a second chance to right some of the wrongs you've done. I won't promise you all will be forgiven you'll have to work for it. You won't be trusted like with anything you'll have to earn it but I will promise you will have a better life than you do now." He said loosening his grip on her arms ever so slightly.

"Then I'll have no choice but to go through with my orders. But I seriously suggest going with the first option. One less life on my hands, SHIELD gets a new agent and most importantly you'll be getting another chance to live your life. So what'd ya say?"

She began to think, it was an interesting offer, new life, probably a better job and no more looking over her shoulder to make sure her past hasn't caught up to her yet. SHIELD would be a chance, a place where she could clear her ledger and get further away from the KGB and Red Room.

"I'm in."
