Maya POV 

I think about that night a lot. Natalia was very close, so close for me to smell the same perfume she had been wearing the first day she entered the Red Room. Unfortunately, I was called back to the mother country, Dreykov could not handle some rowdy teenagers. Melina had left the Red Room for a day to collect a new girl and Dreykov thought he would be a good replacement for a day. When I got to the building, he was locked in a closet and 2 of the girls escaped. 

I opened the door, hand on hip, sucking my teeth at the pathetic excuse of a man. He had groveled and begged, it was shameful but he realised that he cannot do anything without me, so guess who over sees most of the operations? That being said I also found out that he was cheating on me with one of the new girls, who had never heard of me. That was one hell of a clean up, but a divorce was filed and he was told to never come near me unless it was for work reasons. I couldn't leave my girls like that.

Going back, the last I saw Natalia was four years ago, in 2006, I followed as much as I could of her adventures, she was partnered with Barton a lot. To my horror, they got on very well, Carol like to remind me how close they had gotten in recent years, she's just lucky I am not close enough to hit her, hard. I knew it wasn't true, you see Carol wasn't my only person on the inside of SH.E.I.L.D, I knew exactly what happened that night four years ago, and who's bed my little Natalia ended up in. 

I was lost in my thoughts, sat behind my desk in the Red Room when a messaged pinged through my laptop.

My phone rang immediately, I quickly picked up, knowing who was going to be on the other end. 

"What the hell is going on in America now?" I answered hotly. 

"Ma'am, the initiative has been activated." The voice answered, "Sir has asked you come to New York as soon as possible." 

I growl and answer through gritted teeth, "Does he think I can just drop everything like that? Does he not know what my work is?" 

"Ma'am," The voice stated, "You have not been back to America in four years, this cannot wait." 

I roll my eyes, "I'll see what I can do." I hang up the phone, picking up a paper weight and throwing it at the wall, "Suka!"

2 Weeks Later 

I was able to score myself a good apartment in the middle of New York City. I was currently decorating my living room, listening to music and dancing ripping wallpaper off the wall. 

"Your dancing does not get any better." A voice sounded behind me. "And to see you so domesticated." 

I turn and see the one person I didn't want to see right now, a lot of memories come flooding to the forefront of my mind. 

"Any one tell you it's dangerous to sneak up on the Red Widow?" I snark back, turning back to the wallpaper. "And you should know all about domestication." 

"Ma'am, I am sorry." 

"Sorry isn't going to cut it, Agent, you were told she was off limits." I said, ripping the wallpaper off with my strength, "Yet the first night you go out with a little bit of alcohol and you bed her." 

"She is a person, a human being, you can't keep her to yourself just because of a crush." 

I turn slowly, glaring at the Agent, "I beg your pardon?" I lift my right hand up to show fire in the palm of my hand, "Do you not know who you are talking to?"
