    Summary

    This is the haunting origin story of Natasha Romanoff - not the polished SHIELD agent or stoic Avenger, but the girl no one was ever supposed to know existed. Natalia Romanoff entered into the world as property. Her birth an accident, her parents discarded, her body designed to be a weapon before she ever spoke a word. In the heart of Soviet shadows, she was raised not by parents, but by handlers. Fed propaganda. Conditioned by pain. Programmed for obedience. The Red Room didn't steal her childhood - it replaced it. From her brutal beginnings as a state experiment to the moment Clint Barton couldn't take the shot, and the bloody mission in Budapest that changed everything, this is the origin the MCU could't handle.

    Summary

    If she dislocated a thumb every few weeks to slide into the bed of a newer and frightened little girl to comfort them and tell them how to survive, Madame B was none the wiser. Her mother’s familiar words, now making much more sense to Yelena than they had when she was six, escaped her lips on those nights as she dried their tears and held them tightly. It wasn’t lost on her that those nights would be the last time they received that kind of comfort from anyone. What was the harm in indulging them?
    “Pain only makes you stronger,” she would say.
    But deep down, she knew it was a lie.
    Pain didn’t make you stronger.
    It just hurt.

    Summary

    It was supposed to be a routine mission, a favor to some friends at SHIELD, one last assignment for Natasha to complete before she officially transitioned out of SHIELD. Natasha could finally move on to the next chapter of her life, distancing herself further from her past. But pasts usually have a way of catching up to people, and Natasha is no different.

    After years in the Red Room, Yelena Belova was considered a ghost. The only thing she had was her name and her memories, things that she sometimes wish she could lose too.

    Natasha discovers after years of pain, that Yelena Belova, her baby sister is not only still alive, but as a result of experiments and being frozen, she is also still a child.

    Summary

    She was hearing many voices, but she found herself unable to put a face to most of them. Some were teary and excited, others mournful and filled with remorse. Some were angry. Some she recognized herself in.

    If she was forgetting things...

    "Just..."

    The blonde took a moment to breathe in and out, then she briefly glanced to the side.

    "Speak to me?"

    "It will happen again. You'll die."

    And you'll leave me behind.

    Natasha stiffened, holding her breath for a moment as she cracked her eyes open.

    "If I don't die first, of course."
