What A Tangled Web We Weave

Fury Headquarters

Fury : Yeah, right there. That's him. Track him. Good job Melvin.

Yelena Belova (Black Widow) walks in.

Fury : Hey Yelena.

Yelena : What's up Nick?

Fury : Tracking a bank robber. Melvin, what's his identification?

Melvin : His name's Doug Hennesy. He's 24, and he lives in Maine.

Fury : Great.

Yelena : Nick, I need to talk to you in private please.

Fury : Sure.

She leads him to a private room and locks the door.

Fury : So?

Yelena : So. You have always told me to do something with my life. Something fun, yet dangerous.

Fury : I have?

Yelena : Cocktail party. You made a move on me? Remember?

Fury : Oh yeah, sorry about that.

Yelena : No time for apologies.

Fury : Okay.

Yelena : So you said that to me, and I thought about it for a while.

Fury : And what did you conclude?

Yelena : I'm going to become an assassin.

Fury : Aren't you already an assassin?

Yelena : I'm talking about a different kind of assassin, Nick.

Fury : Oh yeah? And what's that?

Yelena : A superhero assassin.

Fury : What?

Yelena : You heard me.

Fury : What are you talking about?

Yelena : A superhero assassin.

Fury : I don't get it.

Yelena : What's an assassin, Nick?

Fury : Someone who kills people.

Yelena : And what's a superhero?

Fury : Someone who saves people.

Yelena : Now put those two together and what do you get?

Fury : Yelena! What, are you crazy?! Assassinating superheroes!? What the heck!?

Yelena : Yeah, I know, it is crazy. But aren't we all these days?

Fury : You're so messed up.

Yelena : You can remember this day as, well, the day you got caught in the Black Widows web.

She pulls a pistol from her back, and shoots him in the corner of his forehead. He falls, and blood flies on the back of a console with a sickening "splat."

Yelena : What a tangled web we weave, Fury.
