Chapter 1: New Recruit?

Tony's POV

Fury called us all into a meeting at 8 am and can I tell you no one was happy about it.

Bruce has his head down on the table hidden by his hands to block out the fight between Bird boy 2.0 and Manchurian Candidate's on where Bird boy 2.0 hid Manchurian Candidate's arm.

Witchy and Robot are having some sort of telepathic conversation and ignoring everyone else. 

Bird boy 1.0 turned his hearing aids off and is repairing his arrows.

Pointbreak is eating a box of pop tarts as per usual. Capsicle is trying to break up the fight between Bird boy 2.0 and Manchurian Candidate.

I am playing with some circuit boards with Underoos. Last but not least Red is just sitting there sharpening her knives.

————————————————————————————

3rd Person POV

After a half an hour of waiting Fury finally walks into the meeting room to see absolute chaos.

Bruce still has his head down on the table covered by his hands.

Bucky is trying to choke Sam with his human hand.

Steve is trying to stop then but has been pinned against the wall by Sam's wing.

Wanda and Vision are playing magic catch.

Clint still has hearing aids off but is now aiming his arrows at random webs that Peter makes him to shoot.

Thor is having a Mjolnir lifting contest with the box of pop tarts.

Tony and Peter built a robot that climbs walls just like Peter but got stuck on the ceiling.

Natasha is just sharpening her knives still but taking turns cleaning her guns.

————————————————————————————

Natasha's POV

As Fury walked in the room started to get quieter. Everyone made their way back to their seats and all turned to me as if expecting me to put my knives down. I stared back and then turned to Fury.

"I have a new mission for all of you. There is going to be a new recruit. The only problem is that you must find her first. This mission will be in Russia. Your goal is to bring back Yelena Belova to join the team." Fury finishes talking and I immediately tense up.

Everyone turns towards me.

I was in so much shock hearing that name that it did not register to me that I had gasped and dropped the knife from my hand.

————————————————————————————

Steve's POV

After Fury finishes talking I hear a gasp and thud. We all turn to the source of the gasp and this only to find Natasha who had wide eyes and was breathing heavily.

————————————————————————————

Natasha's POV

"Nat are you ok?" A very worried Steve enters my vision and grabs my shoulder in an attempt to bring me back to reality.

"Um yeah. I just need a minute." I quickly get up and run down the hallway into my room hearing heavy footsteps follow me.

I get to my room and slam the door shut. Quickly climbing onto my bed I look out the window and hear my door open quietly. My bed shifts as someone heavy climbs on next to me.

"Nat are you ok. You scared me back there." I turn to see Steve sitting next to me on my bed. He wraps his arms around me and presses a kiss to my head pulling me to his chest.

"I have to tell them all about my past now." I say burying my head into his chest.

"You don't have to do it now you know. You can wait until tomorrow and we can spend the rest of the day together." Steve says as I pull away to look at him.

"Can we watch Frozen?" I ask, then I give him a sweet kiss on the lips and curl into his side.

He looks down at me and sighs nodding.

I turn on the tv and we start to watch Frozen.

Chapter 2: Pasts Can Scar

Third Person POV

 

"Um. Well. I'm gonna go after her." Steve says and quickly gets up and leaves the meeting room. Leaving behind a confused team of idiots. 

 

Sorry, I meant Avengers.

 

"Anyone have any idea what that is about?" Tony asks as he looks towards Clint and Fury who know the most about the Russian spy.

 

"I do but I can not disclose that information without Agent Romanoff's permission because while she works me I know she will not hesitate to shoot me again." Fury says quickly.

 

"Well I say we spy in a little on Little Red and Capsicle." Tony says as he pulls up a hologram of Natasha's room in the middle of the conference table.

 

The image shows Natasha curled up facing her window. A couple of seconds later Steve enters the room. Tony quickly turns on audio.

 

——————————

"Nat are you ok. You scared me back there." Natasha turns as Steve moves to sit on her bed next to her. 

 

Steve wraps his arms around her and presses a kiss to her head, pulling Natasha to his chest.

 

"I have to tell them all about my past now." Natasha says as she buries her head into Steve's chest. 

 

"You don't have to do it now you know. You can wait until tomorrow and we can spend the rest of the day together." Steve says as Natasha pulls away to look at him. 

 

"Can we watch Frozen?" She asks giving him puppy eyes and a sweet kiss on the lips, then she curls into his side. Laying her head on his chest.

 

Steve looks down at Natasha and nods while sighing.

 

He turns on the tv and they start to watch Frozen.

——————————

 

Tony turns off the hologram and turns to the rest of the confused team who all take out their wallets at once and start exchanging money.

 

Tony gives Clint $3000 and a voucher for new arrows

Sam gives Bucky $25 

Vision gives Wanda $30 and a container of paprika 

Fury makes a $150 transaction to Coulson and a $75 transaction to Maria

Peter gives Thor 3 boxes of pop tarts 

Rhodey gives Bruce $50

 

"So Romanogers is official. Now for the next thing on the agenda. What does this Yelena chick have to do with Natasha's past?" Tony asks the whole room but staring Fury down.

 

"Stark your glare isn't scary and like I said before. I can not tell you this information without her permission. From what I can gather from what we just watched it appears as she will be telling you herself tomorrow." Fury says and walks of flicking his jacket behind him like a teenage girl flipping her hair over her shoulder.

Chapter 3: Fuck You Tony

Tony not being one to take no for an answer decides to hack into the S.H.I.E.L.D database to find for information on Natasha's past and what the fuck this Yelena girl has to do with it.

 

After 7 hours of digging through any file he could find relating to Natasha the only interesting thing he found is that she has a tattoo on her ribs.

 

He was about to click on the last file on his list when the light shut off and the door slams open.

 

Suddenly Tony is pinned again the wall and sees the blue light of Natasha's widow bites against his neck.

 

He slowly swallows in complete and utter fear.

 

"Why the fuck are you looking through my files Stark?" The very angry Russian Spy asks as her other arm pinning his chest pushes him harder against the wall to the point where it was hard to breathe. 

 

With every breath Tony could feel the metal outline of her widow bites on his neck and ribs pushing the air out of him.

 

"I... um... I wanted to surprise you." He slightly laughs out of terror and wheezing. 

 

"And what does that have to do with my file?" The angry spy asks not believing a word the billionaire has said.

 

"I wanted to find your birthday!" Tony shakily says in fear she would shock him with her widow bites as some sort of human lie detector.

 

"You and I both know you are lying Stark so I am going to give you 20 seconds to fix your answer or you'll find out what I do to liars and trust me it is much worse than a simple shock." She whispers the last part into his ear smirking as she hears him take in a shaky breath and shuffle uncomfortably against the wall.

 

"F-fine I was looking for hints on this Yelena chick." Tony sees her face turn into rage and immediately adds. "For your safety and so that we could all prepare for the mission." 

 

Apparently that was not the right thing to say as the next second he is on the floor with tears running down his face and a burn mark on the crotch of his pants.

 

"You can thank Pepper because she is the only reason I didn't castrate you." The Russian Spy says as she walks out of the door of the lab.

 

As soon as she is out of the lab the lights flicker back on as if nothing happened. Tony is curled up on the floor and thanking his lucky stars he is still alive.

 

He thinks it might be best to just drop this whole research project on Natasha until he remembers the last file which he never opened. 

 

His curiosity gets the better of him and before he can think of the consequences, he opens the file.

 

He is shocked by what he sees and stands frozen in place.

 

The only words he can manage are, "What the fuck..."

 

 

Notes:

I am so sorry for not updating for so long but I am back and hope to update my other stories soon if you want to check those out!

Chapter 4: Rooms of Blood and Ashes

The only words he can manage are, "What the fuck..."

 

Tony's POV

When I opened the final file on Natasha 3 things startled me. 

The first thing I noticed was the title of Red Room (Hydra & Project X (KGB specialization)). 

The second thing I notice is a huge separate folder with every mission Natasha was ever on for the KGB. 

The final big thing I notice which causes me to gasp out in surprise is Natasha's birthdate.

The numbers 11/22/1928 replay over and over in my head until it's all that's left.

How is that possible? She looks so young? How does she not look old?

After all of the questions fly through my head while I sit in complete silence trapped in my own mind one final question remains.

What has she been through during all those years?

Against my better judgement I come back to reality and continue to look through the translated file. 

 

3rd Person

What Tony didn't know is that the whole time Natasha was still in the room and saw everything Tony saw. The further Tony digs into the file the shorter and quicker her breaths come. 

 Before she knows it she curls up into a ball in the corner of the room hyperventilating while being sent in to flashbacks.

December 13, 1948 

Natalia is curled into a ball shaking on her bed not aware of the trickle of red flowing down her arm from the cold meta shackle holding her left arm to the bed frame.

She doesn't know her door has been opened until the small trickle of light floods in from the candle the outside of her room.

Natalia starts to tense up, shaking even worse until she hears the familiar sound of her sister's footsteps.

"Natalia?" When she gets no response Yelena shuffles further into the room, after a couple of seconds her eyes adjust to the dark and see her sister curled up in a ball with patches of red on her shivering body.

"Oh Natalia what did they do to you?" Yelena asks her voice slightly shaking at the sight of her sister.

"I- I had to kill her tonight. She was so you-young she was begging me not to do it. I nearly didn't.  Alexei had heard everything over the coms and-and when I got back he- he cut me with his knives and then poured acid on my wounds and wouldn't stop for hours and hours." Natalia says barely above a whisper while sobbing in her sister's arms.

"It's ok everything will be ok Natalia."

 

"Natalia"

 

"Natalia”

 

"Natasha"

Natasha jumps up out of the ball she had curled herself into and leans back against the wall.

When she fully comes back into the moment she looks to where the voice came from to see Tony crouched over her with a look of concern on his face.

"Natasha are you ok?" Tony asks after she starts to look around.

"Get Steve" Natasha says in a voice just above a whisper.

"Ok Little Red. FRIDAY tell Capsicle to get his ass down to my lab fast. If he says no tells him its an emergency." 

Not even a minute later Steve comes bounding into the lab with an annoyed look on his face.

"Ok Stark what is so important that it couldn't wait until later?" Steve asks looking for the inventor.

When Steve finally sees a scared looking Stark next to a shaking Natasha all his annoyance flies out the window and he rushes to Nat's side.

"Nat honey. You are ok. You aren't back there. Take a breath come on I'm here you are safe." Steve holds her close as she curls into his chest with silent tears running down her face.

"I'm a monster.I had to kill her. She was so young." Steve shushes her delirious sorrowful words.

"It's ok Nat. You aren't a monster. You had no choice. You did what you had to do. Never think that you are a monster."

Natasha only clung onto Steve tighter after she started calming down.

"Do you want to go upstairs and watch Frozen?" Steve whispers into her hair.

Natasha nods her head and grasps onto Steve for comfort.

"Tony if you tell anyone about what happened tonight I can guarantee Natasha will not be happy. She is planning on telling the team her past tomorrow so she needs rest and I don't need to be chasing her down at 3 am as she tries to kill you. Got it?" Steve tells Tony as he picks up Natasha and starts to walk towards the door.

"Yup. Don't piss off scary Russian assassin. Got it." Tony says as he shuffles back to his work bench.

Tony's POV

After Steve leaves, Tony turns back to his computer and takes one more look. He notices one detail he didn't see before. 

"Holy shit."

Notes:
