Chapter 4

"Romanoff!" Fury barked at her from one of the other rooms. Natasha had been trying to work with Tony and Bruce, occasionally taking her anger out on a punching bag in the lab, where Steve was. Fury still called her by her maiden name, simply so he could get who he wanted to talk to and not have both Clint and Natasha come over to him.

"Yes sir?" Natasha asked as she walked over to him. Fury pointed to the ringing phone and Natasha stiffened.

"We need you and Barton to talk to them. Keep them on as long as possible. We're going to try and get a signal." Fury ordered, Clint had already been with Fury, as he hadn't left the Director's side since he came to the Malibu home.

Natasha nodded and picked up the phone quickly placing it on speaker and asking, "Hello?"

"MOMMY! DADDY!" Natasha heard Lina scream from the other end, before being silenced by something.

"Who are you?" Clint asked calmly, putting an arm around Natasha in an attempt to comfort her.

"Some one who wants revenge... for wronging the only family that was there for you." A male's voice sneered from the other end. It was muffled and didn't have the best connection so it sounded as if it had static and the voice was so out of proportion to anything that Natasha or Clint would have recognized. The line ended.

Natasha looked up and barely managed out, "The Red Room." She was already moving to leave the Malibu home. Clint had frozen in place. He knew Natasha's nightmares of her time there. Knew that she didn't like her job but it was the only thing she knew. He knew that. But in that moment he couldn't stop his wife from going to the entrance and reaching for the door handle.

Steve put a hand on Natasha's shoulder and said, "We'll find her."

"You don't know what they'll put her through... this is my fight." Natasha said and reached again for the door handle.

"Tasha!" Maria called from the other side of the room. Before scolding her, "You can't just leave. You need to stay and help devise a plan."

"This is my fight." Natasha repeated.

"Then let us help." Tony responded entering from the lab with Bruce.

"No." Natasha argued, clearly getting frustrated.

"Then tell us how to help." Bruce said quickly cutting the Black Widow off.

"This is my fight." Natasha repeated herself.

"No it's not." Steve was right beside her as he looked at her with concern.

Natasha growled, "I'm doing this on my own."

"No your not. What if you get there, and you can't even fight them?" Tony argued.

"That's none of your business." Natasha growled threateningly at Tony.

"We are a team. Teams work together, never alone." Thor spoke up proudly.

"None of you are going with me. And that is final! The Red Room is my problem, not yours. I know how to fight them. You don't." Natasha stated crossing her arms stubbornly and muttering in Russian about their stupidity.

"I don't care, Romanoff. Your taking them. And they are to help you. Understood?" Fury commanded.

Natasha turned on him, just like how she did when she had just entered the Helicarrier. She bit back several curses she was about to fling at the Director of SHIELD and instead spat, "That's my daughter."

"And she is loved by all the Avengers, Agent. She needs all of your help." Fury argued.

"I can do this alone." Natasha repeated herself.

"Nat-" Clint started.

"Clint, I can do this." Natasha reassured him, but he only shook his head.

"I think Director is right. You'll need the whole team." Clint admitted.

"I don't need help." Natasha argued before storming out before anyone could stop her, they all looked to Clint, who looked defenseless for the first time to the Avengers.

"What do we do?" Tony asked confused.

"We have to go after her." Clint shrugged.

"Are you insane, Bird-Man?" Tony shrieked like a little girl. He was terrified of Natasha, especially if she is angry.

"No. And we are all going." Clint said grabbing his bow and arrows from couch and walking past Tony and Steve to follow Natasha. "And we are all going, to help her."

Steve quickly followed, followed by Thor and Loki. Tony hesitated a moment longer before following the others.
