There was tension in the room, Clint could feel it with Natasha next to him and Ivan in front of them both behind his desk. Ivan wanted answers and he wanted them now.

As soon as their plane touched down in Russia, Clint made sure that Natasha was taken care of and wouldn't leave her side until he was sure she was alright.
After Natasha was fed, Clint reluctantly left her to go to his room to see if any messages had come from Nick Fury back home. He searched his tablet for emails and found nothing – he hadn't heard from Fury in a while; he was getting worried.
Clint groaned when a fellow Black Widow came to his room with Natasha in tow with a summons from Ivan, Clint took hold of Natasha's hand as they walked.

Now they sat in Ivan's office and Ivan was not happy but hid it behind a mask of concern and puzzlement "Tell me what happened. When I received word that you were coming home so soon I was under the impression that it was a success…yet you return alone?"
Clint jumped into an explanation "Sir, we made contact with McMasters and things were going well until he found out who we were"
"Naturally. Go on"
"He attacked us without warning. We thought he would decline politely but not this. One of his men released some sort of gas in our room – it gave us visions that terrified us. It was obviously used to shake us up"
"It worked, though" Natasha said quietly to the floor and Clint took her hand again "if Clint wasn't there to get me out I'm not sure what could have happened"
"I'm sorry sir" Clint said apologetically "we failed the mission"

Ivan just looked at them both deciding what to do and how to handle the situation. It wasn't Natasha that annoyed him it was Clint and he knew why.
A button was pushed under his desk and four other Black Widows came in, stern and powerful looking, with a nod two of them flanked Natasha and pulled her to her feet "Father?" she asked confused as they gently pulled her to the door
Clint instinctively got to his feet something isn't right he thought
"It's alright my dear, I just need to talk to your brother alone for a moment" Ivan smiled motioned for the Black Widows to escort her out, Natasha went out struggling but only a little.

Then it was just Clint and Ivan.

The room filled with the sort of angry tension that made Clint nervous yet he hid it behind a blank face and waited for Ivan to speak. Eyeing Clint, Ivan calmly got up from his seat and began to pace behind it "Barton, you are an excellent agent. Your fighting styles are improving since you have been with us, the girls, young and old, have taken a shine to you – especially Natasha – and there is no doubt why. You charm them so easily, with a single word of praise you can have them excel at anything, you bring out things in them I have not seen in a long time" Ivan paused, thinking of Anya before continuing "your old agency must miss someone like you"

Clint needed to be careful, he chose his words slowly "good riddance I say" he growled "their name is like dirt"
"Oh?" Ivan questioned
"They weren't family to me" Clint lied "not like here. The girls help me be who I am and I like helping them too. S.H.I.E.L.D are nothing to me now, I'm only loyal to you" he said convincingly
"I find that very hard to believe" Reaching into a desk draw, Clint pulled out a tablet, turned it on and went through numerous data and emails "explain this" he began to read " Something deeper is going on. One of the Black Widow agents has started acting strangely" he went on reading everything that Clint had sent Nick Fury.
It was painfully slow, Ivan reading through everything, but finally he came to the end and shut the tablet down "this is such a disappointment" Ivan shook his head and pressed a button under his desk and the previous Black Widow agents came in, Ivan continued talking: "you were popular with my girls – the little ones loved your stories – the elder girls admired your strength and training tips and Natasha…well, she trusted you most of all. Maybe a little too much. I will remedy that in due time, once you are out of the picture"

The two agents grabbed Clint by the arms and pulled him to his feet, Clint tried to get away but they held him tightly "Wh-what are you doing?" Clint asked stupidly looking at Ivan in shock
"You are not with us. You never were. Giving S.H.I.E.L.D information about us, my daughters, you are not a Black Widow" he looked at the two women "take him" they nodded at the command and dragged him from the office.

Clint now used all his strength to try and break free, Ivan knew who he was now and he wasn't going down without a fight. He would break free and get Natasha out of here, contact S.H.I.E.L.D and – how? How would they escape now? He had no chance of escaping, maybe they would keep him prisoner? Ransom him off for S.H.I.E.L.D? Even kill him. That last one sounded likely.
A noise broke into his thoughts, Clint turned his head as far as he could and saw Natasha staring after him, his heart tore at the sight of her "C-Clint?" Natasha tried to go after him but Ivan took hold of her "Father?! What's going on?" she looked at him now with confusion and anger in her eyes
"Your brother Clint has been lying to you, dear one. He isn't who he said he was, he has been working for his old organization all along!"
"Clint?!" Natasha called out towards Clint "where are they taking you?!" her voice was breaking in desperation, finally unable to take it any longer, Natasha took hold of Ivan's hand and broke it, running to Clint when Ivan finally let go.

Natasha flung her arms around Clint's neck and begged "why are they taking you? Whatever you have done I'm sure we can overlook it!" she looked to her sisters that held him "please! Clint hasn't done anything wrong! Clint can't leave me! Us!"
"Nat–" Clint struggled to speak "I'll…" what could he possibly say right now? He was being dragged away and would probably never see her again!
"Clint…" her voice was barely above a whisper, she clung to Clint so tightly he knew that the next day he would have bruises "you…you can't leave me" and then, right there in front of everyone, Natasha kissed him. She kissed him with everything she had, all her fear, her sorrow and her pain went into the kiss.

Clint kissed her back with equal force, everything he couldn't say flowed into this kiss I'm sorry for everything. I'll come back for you if I can. I'll never leave you then they were ripped apart, Clint was dragged away by the two Black Widows and Natasha stood there pleading and begging for his release.

It all happened so quickly. An agent coming at Clint from the opposite direction took out a gun and shot the two women holding him, she then handed Clint his own gun.

Natasha's screams died in her throat as images flashed before her eyes – Clint could see that she was having another more intense flashback – she could see Clint trying to run to her but some other woman was holding him back; she was urging him to go with her. Who was she?
Ivan was next to her shouting orders that they be captured as he held his injured hand.

They both ran, the strange woman with determination and Clint who kept looking back at Natasha. Natasha followed them both, she was aware of other Black Widows behind her but she kept ahead of them as they sprinted.

Clint and the woman ran onto a tarmac outside and jumped into an awaiting jet. The woman turned to Natasha, raised her gun and fired. Natasha flinched but was unharmed, it was the other Black Widows behind her who took the bullets. Natasha screamed again at the sight of her dead sisters.
"CLINT!" she screamed yet her voice was drowned out by the sounds of the jet "CLINT!"

It was sometime later, when the landscape of Russia fell behind them, that Clint finally let what had happened sink in. He had been found out. S.H.I.E.L.D had known that Black Widow Ops had known who he was for a while. Natasha was alone now, she needed him and he couldn't be there for her. His heart tore again.

He vowed that he would come back for Natasha, for all the agents.

A/N: I hate this chapter. Maybe I will edit it when more creative juices flow but for now I felt that I owed you all a new chapter. So here it is. I hope you enjoyed it.
