I lay in bed, I know Bucky is going to walk through that door any minute. I think about what was going to happen to Archer, even if we make it out there is no guarantee that I would survive. Then what? Would Pepper take care of him? While Clint worked for SHIELD. I was pretty sure I was going to die, either way I would stop Bucky. I shiver justing thinking about it, my boy growing up without his mother after I promised to be with him. I hear the door close, I look up it's Bucky. He holds a box under his arm.

"What do you want Bucky?" I ask as I sit up.

"I wanted to give you something." Bucky places the box beside me. I look at him, not touching the box.

"Open it." Bucky says, almost as if he was demanding me to. I pick up the box not taking my eyes off of Bucky. I get one last good look at Bucky before I peel my eyes away to look at the box. I lift off the white lid, a pair of black pumps sit on top of of a black dress.

"What is this about Bucky?" I ask.

"I request you wear it tonight." Bucky smiles.

"What about tonight?" I ask, a suspicious feeling growing.

"You will see." Bucky leaves the room. I look at the dress and then back to the white wall in front of me.

"боже мой (Oh my god)" I mutter.

….

An hour passes and guards come for me to get cleaned up. As I stand in the shower closed off shower, I think about what Bucky was planning. Before I know it guards are yelling at me to get out. I exit the shower and wrap a rough grey towel around my body. I walk back to the room, in only the towel, guards at my side. I enter the room and the door closes. I dry myself off and wrap the towel around my hair. I put on my red bra with black lace and matching panties. I put the knee length dress on, I stand away from the small mirror and straighten out the bow, I pull at the low neck line. I place the shoes on my feet, I run the towel through my hair. The black dress fits tightly around my chest, the bow wraps around my rib cage from then the dress flows and cuts off at my knees. I don't know why Bucky was doing this but I knew if I refused, he would use Archer and Clint as leverage against me. I didn't want to feel vulnerable, especially against that man. A guard opens the door.

"давай го (come on)" I follow the guard, two guards follow behind me. We approach a room, my heart pounds in my chest. I get more nervous when I enter the room to see Bucky standing in the middle of the room, wearing a black suit and a blue tie. The guard in front of me shoves me forward and closes the door behind me.

"You look beautiful, I haven't seen you look this beautiful since you were 15 years old. Remember? It was a few months before you abandoned Russia." Bucky says, I don't respond. Bucky sits on the couch, leaving room for me beside him.

"Natalia, come sit." Bucky offers, I hesitate and sit down next to him, I'm on my guard.

"You've gotten beautiful in these past 10 years, you look like a woman." Bucky brushes my arm, I pull away.

"Well the last time you saw me I was 15 years old, I am now 25 years old of course there was going to be a change." My voice remains unemotional. Bucky smiles,

"Natalia, reconsider my offer. We could rule this country together, eventually the whole world." Bucky moves closer, I try to move away but I'm as far as I can go.

"Natalia I mean it, you and I ruling." Bucky is closer to me.

"Bucky, you don't love me and I don't love you." I respond, I turn away from him. Bucky grabs my shoulders and makes me face him, I try to escape from his grasp but he gotten more strong.

"I'm not letting you go again." Bucky tightens his grip on my shoulder, I'm glaring at him and clenching my teeth. Bucky forces himself on me, my stomach turns knowing it's Bucky's lips and not Clint's. Bucky forces his tongue into my mouth, as hard as I can I bite down on Bucky's tongue. I push him away and I run for the door, it's locked. I feel Bucky's arms wrap around me.

"You're mine, you alway have and always will be." He pulls the straps of the dress off of my shoulders. I flinch away, he holds me closer. Bucky pulls me back to the couch, he throws me on the couch. He kisses my neck, I try to beat him away but he ties my wrists to a lamp close by with his tie. I feel his hands slip up the dress.

"сэр! (sir!)" A guard rushes into the room.

"Что, разве вы не видите, что я занят? (What, do you not see I'm busy?)" Bucky snaps.

"The building has been infiltrated." The guard switched over to english.

"I'll be there soon." Bucky gets off of me.

"Escort Natalia back to her room." Bucky leaves the room. The guard unties me and brings me back to the room. I sit in the room, still sitting in the dress. I had been almost raped by Bucky, the second time someone attempted to rape me, but this time Clint didn't come in to save me. I shiver thinking Bucky could still get to me. I hear the door open, I look up at the door, my heart pounding. It's Bucky, I know it is. I stop when I see the man at the door.

"Did you miss me?" The man asks, I spring up from the bed and run to him.

"Clint!" I say as I wrap my arms around him, Clint holds me back.

"We need to get Archer." I say, still having a hard time to believe that Clint was standing here and not Bucky.

"We've got him, he's with Steve." Clint runs his hand through my short red hair.

"Thank god." I sigh out of relief. Clint grabs my hand and we run through the corridor, hand-in hand. We turn a corner and stop, At the end of hall is Tony, Bruce,Thor and Steve holding a crying Archer. We run toward our family, almost immediately Clint takes Archer from Steve and Archer stops crying once he sees us. I take Archer from Clint and hold him close. I kiss his head and hand him back off to Clint.

"I need to take care of something." I say, the five look at me.

"What is it?" Steve asks, Clint looks suspicious.

"Lady Natasha, if we must we will fight for you." Thor chimes in.

"No, I need to do this on my own. I'm wiping out my ledge." I look at Clint.

"You already have." Clint says.

"No, I haven't Clint. You risked your life for me so many times and it's time for me to do the same." I respond.

"Natasha…." Stark just says.

"Thanks you guys. Please take care of Archer." I force a smile to my team mates. I look to Clint and Archer. I kiss my son on the forehead, I then smile at Clint and press my lips on his.

"I love you, both." Is what I say before I run off. I had to kill Bucky, it was my duty.

On my way I pass guards, presumably dead. I come to a room, I enter. There Bucky sits, a smug look on his face.

"Your archer came to save you, pathetic the Black Widow letting a man save her." Bucky says. I just look at him, I don't say anything.

"Natalia Romanova, the last Grand Duchess of Russia. It's a shame I'm the one who will kill you." Bucky stands.

"Not if I kill you first. You know, Steve Rogers is still alive." I say, hoping that something will change.

"You didn't think I knew that? The great Captain America, he was always such a tool." Bucky slightly smiles.

"Alright Bucky, let's do this." I challenge.

"My pleasure Grand Duchess." Bucky holds up a gun and shoots, I roll out of the way.

"You're not going to make this easy are you?" Bucky asks.

"No I won't." I say as I shoot at him, He moves out of the way. I curse under my breath. Something flies through the room and lands in a wall by Bucky, it's an arrow.

"Missed me Hawkeye." Bucky smiles.

"No I didn't." Clint appears from the door, the arrow explodes covering Bucky in a cloud of smoke and shattering the windows. Clint slides to cover me just in time from the glass.

"Clint, I told you to leave me." I say as Clint sits up, as he back straightens glass falls from his back. Clint stares into my eyes.

"And you thought I would? Nat, I wouldn't leave you for the world and if you're going to die so am I." Clint places his hand on my cheek. A gun shot goes off ruining our moment when the bullet just barely misses Clint. We break apart and stand up, my gun in my hand and Clint's bow at the ready. I get shot at and a bullet grazes my arm as I move out of the way. I shoot back, I hear feet scuffle around and I shoot again.

"Natalia, I don't really want to kill you. Kill the archer and join me and we will create a new Russian Empire." Bucky says, the smoke begins to clear out. I get a view of Bucky, his temple had been grazed, so was his arm. I look past him, the curtain is on fire and smoke begins to rise again.

"Hell no." I raise my gun, ready to shoot. Bucky stands on the ledge of the window.

"Too Bad." Bucky smiles and falls back into the river. I run to the ledge and look over, Clint comes behind me.

"Shit!" I swear, regretting that I let Bucky get away I would never escape his grasp. The fire still eats at the curtains.

"TASHA!" Clint grabs me and pulls me away from the window. A small explosion goes off, making the fire bigger. The fire makes its way around the room eventually covering the door.

"Shit." Clint curses, we back up to a wall. We were stuck, the door was in flame and the windows were surrounded by fire.

"Tash!" Clint pulls me back, a roof beam falls in front of us. I turn around to find the closet, I shove Clint in the closet and follow him in. We sit down our backs up against the wall.

"Maybe we should of left SHIELD once Archer was born, he would of grown up with parents." Clint says, I grab his hand. We look at each other, tears stream down my face. Clint presses his lips on my forehead and places my head on his shoulder.

"I love you Clint and Thank you, for never giving up on me." I hold his hand tighter.

"I love you Tash and thank you for making my life even better." Clint hold my hand tighter as well.

"Remember how we met? I had been chasing you for 20 minutes and you finally stopped running and I remember thinking you were the most beautiful girl I had seen." Clint whispers, I smile

"Remember Barcelona? You saved me from being raped by Paulo. I fell in love with you then." I admit, I can tell Clint's smiling.

"Remember when Bobbi left me? You stayed by my side and never abandoned me." Clint responds.

"Or Marseille? I didn't listen to you and you had dig me out of the rubble, and when I woke up in the hotel room we fought and then made love." I say, Clint lets go of my hand and brings me closer.

"Budapest." We say at the same time, we look at each other and smile. I sit up and kiss Clint, we pull apart.

"Working for Tony Stark and you showing up at the party." I lean my head back on his shoulder.

"When I was compromised by Loki and you saved me." Clint leans his head on mine.

"When I told you I was pregnant at Stark and Pepper's wedding , I remember being so afraid of telling you." I softly laugh, tears still streaming down my face.

"When you gave birth and I was late and came in just before you gave birth to our beautiful son." Clint kisses my head. All of this seemed so long ago.

"He's gonna look like you." I say, it's getting hotter in the closet.

"He's gonna act like you." Clint responds.

"But we're not going to be there, are we?" I restrain myself from sobbing.

"No we're not." Clint chokes back a sob.

"C-Clint….Am I allowed to cry?" I ask.

"Yeah you are Tash." Clint shifts his body and embraces me, I cry into his chest, I feel his tears fall on my bare shoulder.

"I'm glad Natasha, that we're going to be together through this, at our end."

Author's note: This was the chapter I was wanting to write. I started crying and the face I was listening to "I Dreamed a Dream" sung by Anne Hathaway was not helping. There will be a next chapter coming, it's kind of an epilogue thing, like what happened to Archer. Anyway it will be up hopefully soon. Thanks for reading. Sorry for the bad editing.
