NATASHA ROMANOFF- ROGERS COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT HER LIFE ENDED UP LIKE THIS. She never really procured the idea that she would live to see the age of twenty, let alone thirty - and with minimal damage in those years she spent working as an Avenger. The red-head never had the opportunity to dream about marriage or even, starting a family because those ideas seemed so far away from her. They aren't granted to little orphans who survived a fire which burned her little home in Stalingrad. Who are taken to the worst place imaginable and are trained under the direction of people like Ivan - who played on her young insecurities and desires.
Her life felt meaningless and miserable when she was under the Red Room's care. She had to complete all of the missions assigned to her with fervor and she would be punished severely if she retaliated. They knocked any semblance of dreams out of her brainwashed head and removed pieces of her which could be used to bring forth new life - if she so chooses it.
So, when she immigrated to the United States under Clint Barton's wing, her life was changed immensely. Suddenly, the assassin was expected to act civilly around people. She learned to show her compassion and develop a system to cleanse the blood from her stained ledger. S.H.I.E.L.D became a safe haven for her and Nick Fury was the first benevolent superior she had.
Meeting Steve and joining the Avengers is probably the only good thing she did on her own accord. It made her feel complete to go on these missions. Like, she was redeeming herself in a way. Falling in love with her husband was a complete surprise and she couldn't believe that it actually happened in the first place.
Really, out of all of the wonderful women in the world, he had to choose the most broken one.
Despite the crucial circumstance, the red-headed assassin found it hard to emote a general response and formulate a plan of where to go and what to do. Knowing deeply inside that she must flee her space of comfort and refuge all these years is disconcerting to say the least and her mind has gone blank from the process.
Natasha finally gathered enough courage to head back downstairs to the main lobby after hearing the door to her apartment click closed behind her. Letting out a cleansing breath, she managed to prowl the main ground of their dormitories, not even daring to mutter a word in frustration at the thought of being targeted by Ross or spotted by Tony. She doesn't think she can tolerate meeting the engineer again after what he said to her. Or perhaps...what she's done is making her feel incessantly guilty.
The ginger gripped the smooth holder of her glock as she entered the elevator. Not, because she was terrified of being caught while in there, but because it provides some level of comfort to know that she is in control. Sensing her insecurity, F.R.I.D.A.Y. started to play some calming music in an effort to dispel the ginger's constant uneasiness. Upon hearing the music however, she let out a short grunt, shaking her head slowly and tisking away at how visible her emotions truly are.
