Assassins. Agents. Avengers.
STRIKE Team: Delta was a STRIKE unit made up of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s finest agents: Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton. Not much is known about their team up except (a) Agent Barton was sent to kill Romanoff but decided to recruit her instead, (b) they took missions in Budapest, Hungary and Abidjan, Ivory Coast, and (c) they were never given an extraction plan. Set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the missions of Hawkeye and Black Widow are revealed in this new fanfiction series. This is my take on STRIKE Team: Delta.

Summary
Six months after Barton's call to recruit the Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff is eager to prove her loyalty to S.H.I.E.L.D. and fully defect to their ranks. The opportunity arises when her intel leads S.H.I.E.L.D. to discover the potential whereabouts of her former employer Dreykov. Director Nick Fury and Agent Phil Coulson send Romanoff and Clint Barton to Budapest, Hungary to find and assassinate Dreykov, thus destroying the Red Room Program and freeing Natasha once and for all. Their mission proves more difficult than first perceived as Dreykov is impossible to find and his Black Widow agents are lurking around every corner. The two lone-wolf assassins must learn to trust and work together if they are to survive and make it home.
