Natasha Romanoff: Ex Military, New Shield

Word Count: 3102

An: Another request from tumblr. Reader is Maria Hill's sister and also ex military.

When you left the military they had called it an "honorable discharge" but it didn't feel that way, at least not to you. They were intimidated by your skill, there were no flaws in your physical or mental abilities. They were mad because you were stronger, faster, and smarter than everyone around you at any given moment. So they let you go on a few tours and after that kicked you out with the tag honorable to make it seem fair. You could've done so much more in the military and it ate away at you everyday. It made you bitter but it fueled you to be even better than they thought you were.

You were at home doing some simple weight training when a voice interrupted you.

" You do all this training and this talk about saving lives but every time I ask you to join SHIELD you say no"

You put your weights down and turned your attention to your sister, " You need to stop breaking into my house Maria. It's creepy and a total invasion of privacy"

Ever since you left the military Maria had been pitching the idea of you joining SHIELD. Part of you wanted to join the group but the other part didn't trust the organization at all. You knew what the public knew plus a little bit more given your sister worked there. However you still couldn't put together if the group was benefiting society or just meddling in it. Whenever you asked Maria about their intentions she'd give the run around about how everything is not so black and white.

" I'll stop breaking in when you just agree to join SHIELD"

You gave your sister an incredulous look, " Maria you bring this up every time we hangout but you can never answer any of my questions about the place. I know you're a good person and that you would ever intentionally be on the wrong side of history but unless you can tell me that SHIELD isn't the enemy I can't even consider joining"

She let out an exasperated sigh as she walked over to you and sat down. You could see that she was clearly thinking about what she was going to say to you. When she first started asking you to join it was a joke, almost light hearted but now it was like she was trying to force you into the organization.

" I can't tell you that every single thing SHIELD does is inherently good. On paper we've done some pretty fucked up shit that seems like it has no justifiable cause, but I promise that there is a cause. SHIELD isn't here to just protect America, we are responsible for protecting the whole world and with that comes great sacrifice. Everything can't be wrapped up neatly with a ribbon on top Y/n, not when the world is at stake"

Maria wasn't looking at you, instead her gaze was trained on the wall in front of the two of you. She looked exhausted and that's when you realized the weight of the job that your sister held. Maria wasn't just a regular agent, she was in a position of power where she faced tough decisions on the regular. Decisions that potentially could have an effect on the entire world.

" Look Y/n I'm going to be honest with you. SHIELD needs someone like you around. We need someone who we can send out on their own and come back in one piece. The agents we have are good but they aren't anywhere near you. I'm just not comfortable sending them out on missions knowing that there's a large chance they wouldn't make it back. I know realistically you couldn't do every mission but I- I just know that you'd be a great agent. But you're right, I shouldn't keep bringing it up when you keep telling me no. All it's doing is putting a strain on our relationship"

She wasn't saying it but you knew that what Maria really wanted to say was that she needed you. This job was stressful but if you were there it would take a little of the stress off of her shoulders. Your sister had done a good job of pretending to have everything together but slowly it was all starting to crumble. It wouldn't fully stop but it would surely stall if you were on her side.
