Clint brings us to his home, I sit in the corner, staring off as the others are figuring out what's going on. A small voice pulls me out of my thoughts, "Did you being Auntie Nat and Auntie Y/N?"

"Why don't you hug her and find out." Nat smiles and picks Lila up.

I smile and kiss her head, "How's our girl doing?"

"Good!"

I lean down and hug Cooper. "Y/N." Laura smiles and hugs me.  "Hi honey." She kisses my cheek.

"I've missed you so much." I smile, leaning back and kissing her stomach.

"How's little Natasha doing?" Nat rubs Laura's stomach.

"You mean, little Y/N." I smile.

"She's....Nathaniel." Laura nods.

Nat and I look at each other and then lean down, "Traitor." We say at the same time.




We all split up, taking showers and cleaning up. After my shower I find myself in an empty room, I lay down and stare out the window. I couldn't stop seeing my nightmare...seeing Dreykov.

"Hey sissy." Nat whispers, I turn to see her shutting the door. "Has Steve been in here? He was looking for you, ended up going outside with Tony."

"No...he knows I need time." I look back outside.

"You didn't even brush your hair." She steps out and comes back with a brush. "Up." I sit up and cross my legs as she sits behind me. "Talk to me." She whispers, brushing my hair gently.

"Why didn't you ever help me when I fell in class...or when the instructors hit me." I suddenly ask.

"I did try to help you...when we first arrived they hit you for crying. I punched the instructor and then was sent to punishment. Dreykov told me that he would make me watch him kill you and Yelena if I ever tried that again. I was so scared...I'm so sorry."

"Don't be sorry. We were just kids." I nod as she starts to braid my hair. "Just kids." I repeat.

"How bad was this one?"

"Really bad." I mutter. "I saw Dreykov again....he-"

"He's dead. He can't hurt you anymore." Nat stops me.

"He will always haunt me. Forever." I whisper. "I can still feel him on me...his hands squeezing my arms. I can still hear his whispers." I start to cry again. "Often times I can still smell his scent around me. It's horrifying."

Nat pulls me back, I lay my head on her chest and stare up at the ceiling. She starts to lightly hum an unknown tune as she rubs my back, holding me close. "I'm not gonna let anyone hurt you....I'll always be here for you." She leans over and kisses my head. Nat's always been like my mother...I was extremely thankful for her.


I ended up falling asleep, Nat stayed with me the whole time until Laura came in. I held Nat's hand like a child as we walked down the stairs for dinner.

I couldn't even eat...I just sat there staring at the food as everyone else around me talked. I didn't even notice Nick was here until he reached across the table and squeezed my hand as he stands.

"Ultron took you folks out of play to buy himself time. My contacts all say he's building something. The amount of Vibranium he made off with, I don't think it's just one thing."

"What about Ultron himself?" Steve asks.

"Ah. He's easy to track, he's everywhere. Guy's multiplying faster than a Catholic rabbit. Still doesn't help us get an angle on any of his plans though."

"He still going after launch codes?" Tony asks.

"Yes, he is, but he's not making any headway."

Tony slightly chuckles, "I cracked the Pentagon's firewall in high school on a dare."

"Yeah, well, I contacted our friends at the Nexus about that."

"Nexus?" Steve asks.

"It's the world internet hub in Oslo, every byte of data flows through there, fastest access on earth."

"So what'd they say?" Clint asks.

"He's fixated on the missiles, but the codes are constantly being changed."

Tony throws a dart, "By whom?"

"Parties unknown."

"Do we have an ally?" Nat asks.

"Ultron's got an enemy, that's not the same thing. Still, I'd pay folding money to know who it is."

"I might need to visit Oslo, find our unknown." Tony nods.

"Well, this is good times, boss, but I was kind of hoping when I saw you, you'd have more than that." Nat chuckles.

"I do, I have you. Back in the day, I had eyes everywhere, ears everywhere else. Here we all are, back on earth, with nothing but our wit, and our will to save the world. So stand. Outwit the platinum bastard."

I finally look up and smirk at Steve, "Steve doesn't like that kind of talk."

"You know what, Romanoff?" Steve smiles as I smirk mischievously at him.

"So what does he want?"

"To become better. Better than us. He keeps building bodies." Steve nods.

"Person bodies. The human form is inefficient, biologically speaking, we're outmoded. But he keeps coming back to it." Tint points.

"When you two programmed him to protect the human race, you amazingly failed." Nat says, we both look down and smile as Lila hands us both a drawing.

"It's beautiful, sweetie." I kiss her head ash she runs off..

Bruce walks up and looks down at Nat's picture, "They don't need to be protected, they need to evolve. Ultron's going to evolve."

"How?"



Bruce looks up, "Has anyone been in contact with Helen Cho?"






We all get up, suiting up. Before I can go grab mine, Steve stops me. "Baby...." He whispers and pulls me in. "I came to see you but you were sleeping...I knew you needed time."

I rest my head on his chest, "We should get ready." I pull away.

Steve pulls me back in, "I want you to go back to the tower with Bruce and Tony."

"What?" I frown.

"Baby...that dream really hit you hard. I can see that it's still affecting you. You need to go rest....I'm afraid you-"

I shove him off of me, "You think I will mess up the mission. I am an expert at putting my feelings and issues behind me while I'm on a mission, I'm a trained assassin remember?" I hiss. "You want me to go sit on my ass while, you, Nat and Clint risk your lives?"

"Please just do this for me....I don't want you getting hurt." He tries to pull me back in.

I completely push him off of me, shoving him into the wall. "If my sister....or Clint gets hurt. I will never forgive you, Rogers." I point and quickly turn, grabbing my bag and walking outside.

He is unbelievable
