Chapter 6: Red

Red, everything was red. The walls, the floor and it even looked like the air had turned red. It wasn't even a nice strawberry color, it was the color of blood, despair, and evil all mixed in one. Natasha hated this color; it reminded her too much of who she used to be, or maybe who she still was.

Everything was a blur. All her memories were jumbled up and she wasn't sure what was real or not. This is what she feared all along.

They were trying to torture her, make her remember her past, but worst of all turn her into the ruthless killer she once was. They were trying to get her back and there was nothing she could do about it. The worst part was that they were succeeding.

Steve was finally able to break out if the hand cuffs. It would have taken him no time but they were magnetic and 100% steel. He ran over to Natasha as soon as he got up. She was still on the table, tied down and lost in her thoughts.

"Nat wake up, I need you to wake up, please for me!" He practically begged her.

Steve Rogers wasn't one to beg for what he wanted but he had already lost too many people. Bucky, Peggy and he wasn't about to lose Natasha too.

She started to stir, as she opened her eyes. She blinked a few times and when she finally looked at Steve she was different. Her eyes weren't focused and she seemed lost in her own head. It was like she was trapped inside by something else clouding her judgment.

At that moment the doctor and the two men from before walked in. The doctor had a smirk on his face as he walked over to where Steve was standing. Steve just stood there trying to protect Natasha but he knew that there was no way out.

"Ah Mr. Rogers I see that you have escaped your cuffs. That's okay I suppose, there's no way out anyway"

"What do you want from us?"

"I just want to take back what is mine." Said the doctor.

He then walked up closer to Natasha and said something faint in thick Russian. She nodded her head, and the doctor looked pleased.

After that he pulled out a phone and said "black widow reincarnation complete, permit all access and rehabilitation a go. Code Red is now active."

"You see captain, you were never apart of my plan, you were simply collateral damage. But I'm glad you came along, it will make this a lot more interesting. After all, revenge is a bitch."
