Once the doors were closed, Belle came around and placed a hand on my shoulder. "Why don't you tell him?"

I took a deep breath. You're gonna have to tell her at some point.

"Okay...I'm gonna tell you a story of a girl named Natalia. She grew up in a house with a loving family for the first five years of her life. She had a sister, mother and a father. One day, just after Natalia had turned five, her house was set on fire. The father worked for a company called 'the red room'. He betrayed the organisation by refusing to experiment on the girls that were in the facility so they killed him. They um...they train girls in high skilled combat. They learn how to control their emotions. I was taken in and trained into being one of these girls...a black widow. A mindless slave to the red room. When I got to the age of 16, all the girls went against each other in a contest. Only one would survive. And it happened to be me. They sent me on mission to kill people." I cleared my throat and looked at the floor. "Innocent people. After I finished one of my missions, an agent called Hawkeye was sent to kill me."

"Dad?" she asked, confused.

"Yes, but when he found me, he decided not to follow his orders and save my life." I smiled. "He saved me." My expression fell. "I can't repay him for that."

I shook my head and said "We were made partners as soon as he brought me in. I was his responsibility Director Fury said. We trained together, ate together and lived together on some missions. After a few years of being my partner, we...we had the mission in Budapest." I gulped down my emotions and forced myself to continue. "Because of my past, I felt I couldnt take the strain and I broke down. Clint was there for me."

"And I'm guessing that's the night I was conceived right?"

I nodded in response. "I never regretted you. You weren't a mistake."

"I understand that now."

I smiled and said "So what have you done with your life so far?"

"Well, I haven't got the best grades in the world, but I'm more a sports, dance and gymnastics girl."

"You dance?" Wow. She really was a good mix of me and Clint.

"Yeah, I've been doing ballet since I was young."

"And who has been looking after you?"

"My foster parents, Mille and Patrick. They're good to me. They pay for my dance and archery lessons and they are brilliant parents too. I told them about this and they are allowing me to be here."

I sighed. "I'm sorry if I'm a disappointment to you. It's not everyday you find out your mothers an ex-assassin who's now an avenger."

"No." she said shaking her head. "You're better than I imagined."

We smiled at each other and I asked "Do you want a tour of the tower?"

She nodded enthusiastically and I showed her the kitchen and our corridor of bedrooms.

"And these rooms are where we all sleep. Did you..." Say it. "Did you consider staying with us?"

She turned her head and replied happily "I would love to stay here and get to know you and Clint more, but if it's too much to ask..."

"Not at all." I said. "I'd love to spend more time with you. Banner sleeps on a different floor for safety precautions, but everyone else is here."

"Uh...safety precautions?" She asked wearily. Oh...she didn't even know what each of us did. And Dr. Banner being the hulk is a rumour around the world.

"Follow me and I will fill you in." I said walking towards the touch computer on the table in the kitchen. I slid out each avenges file and explained it in detail. "And finally..." I said bringing up a file name 'master assassins' (reminder to self: kill Tony stark) "this is me and Clint."

After she looked through some footage of us fighting together, she asked "So why are you no longer together?"

"Because the feelings aren't there." Liar.

"You're lying. I've seen the way you look at each other." she said smiling at me. She is so beautiful.

I shook my head and looked at the ground. "He wouldn't want someone like me."

She smiled and said "He already has you and knows you better than anyone. Being in love isn't a bad thing."

"It's a weakness."

"Why? Why is it a weakness?"

"People can use him as leverage against me." I argued.

She smiled and laughed slightly. "Apparently everyone already thinks you're together. I've seen the papers. It won't change anything." I just kept quiet. I don't think he likes me like that now, If he ever did.
