Chapter 8: Story

Natasha sat back down on the couch and Anastasia jumped back onto the top bunk again. Anastasia looked expectantly at her sister, waiting for her to continue with the story.

After a minute of silence, Natasha started talking again. "So, Barton was sent to kill me, and made a different call. He offered me a place in SHIELD, and I was so shocked that he did. No one had ever done such a thing like that before. I never told you, but I was working for people that deceived and killed so many people just to get what they wanted. They were so much worse than SHIELD. I didn't believe Barton was telling the truth, so I kept my defences up and attacked."

"I never knew, until that moment, that anyone could match me in battle. I was flabbergasted when I zapped him with a Widow's Bite and he didn't drop to the ground. He fought for about ten seconds before his legs gave out, but as he fell, he grabbed me and pulled me down as well."

"He didn't have to use his legs to flip me over." Natasha seemed like she was reliving the memory in her mind, with that faraway look in her eyes. "He grabbed my gun, throwing it across the ground, out of my reach. Then he tossed his bow aside. That was when I knew he was telling the truth. I could see it in his eyes, but I was being difficult."

"I tried to struggle and get up, but he pinned me to the ground. He was able to use his legs again by then, so I had almost no chance of standing. He told me to consider the option, and I thought about it. What would happen if I was taken back to SHIELD? What would happen to you? What would happen if I left the organisation that I was working for then? I considered these questions for about ten minutes before I came up with an answer."

"I went to SHIELD, and Fury went crazy and Clint. He told him that he had defied direct orders, and that he would pay for what he'd done. Clint just looked between me and Fury and said, 'We need her, and she needs a second chance.'"

"Fury eventually decided that I could stay, but he made it clear that I was Barton's responsibility, and that if I messed up, I would be killed, and so would Clint. The bloody idiot agreed willingly, and I became his partner in missions, and an agent of SHIELD. We trained together, fought together, ate together, and worked together. We are the top spies, assassins and marksmen of SHIELD and pretty much the whole world."

"A few years down the track, we got split up to go on separate missions. Clint went to New Mexico with out handler, Coulson, who you saw walk in with Stark before, and I went to Malibu. Clint's mission was about Thor's hammer and the whole situation. My mission was to get Stark back to work and make sure the government didn't take the suits. He was also dying, and Fury and I had to give him the clues that his father left so he could figure out the cure."

"Aside from the huge wreck that became New York, both missions succeeded. Barton was sent to another SHIELD site to watch over the PEGASUS project, and I was assigned a mission in Russia. I knew that you had left the orphanage because I got Clint to help me find you on the face tracers at base not long after I became an agent. You covered your tracks very well, but we found you in Spain."

"Anyway, in the middle of the mission, I found myself tied to a chair with my wrists bound to the back legs of it. The mission was going very well until my phone rang. It was passed over to me after Coulson threatened the leader of the group that was my target."

"I was annoyed at first when he told me that I needed to go back, until he said, 'Barton's been compromised.' Then I kicked the group's asses and told Coulson I'd come back right away. But he told me to get Banner, so I persuaded the doctor to come in an help us track the cube, and he obliged. Then I was sent to Stuttgart to fetch Loki, and now I'm back here.

Natasha took a deep breath. "Everything's been so crazy lately, crazier than normal, and I know that I'm pretty close to breakdown point. But we need to get this job done before I can fall apart." Natasha finished her story, having not looked at Anastasia during most of that time.

Anastasia silently jumped down from the bunk she was lying on, and sat down next to her older sister, wrapping her arms around her. Natasha sighed quietly. No one but Anastasia saw this side of Natasha, and the only reason that she left Anastasia know how she felt was because she knows her too well. Clint knows how she feels, too, but she's a stubborn girl and won't talk.

The sisters stayed like that for the next five minutes before a voice came through Natasha's comm, and Anastasia could hear Fury asking her to come and interrogate Loki.

"Yes, sir. I copy. I'll be there right away." Then she turned her comm off. "You wanna watch me interrogate a demigod?" she asked. Anastasia smirked.
