Unpredictable

You...What?!

Natasha POV

I didn't think this day could get any worse but it somehow did. I had to talk to a deranged god who thought he was the utter shit and on top of that I couldn't stop thinking about what Red Widow said about Maya. In fact there was something about her eyes, there was a familiarity in them, a softness almost, something you would never find in a Widow.

The last thing was my best friend (well..) was taken and mind controlled. I had to fight him, which only made everything worse.

Flashback

Clint pushes me back into the wall, hand around my neck, killer glint in his eye. I roll my eyes, placing my right hand on his right, which was on my left shoulder. I pushed my right arm up, knocking his left arm, enabling me to also push his right hand away from me and twist it behind his back. I direct him to the wall, forcefully placing my hand on his face to push him into the wall and keep him there.

I hear him laugh, "Is this really how the Red Room raised you? No wonder you were left alone. No wonder you were so easy to get when I first found."

I jerk his arm up a little higher, I'm going to have apologise later, "Barton, this is not you."

The door to the room opened and in walked the Red Widow, I could see her assessing the situation.

Clint laughed again, "Here she is, the one who told me to get you, like you were a prize. And you still don't know who she is?" He almost laughed manically.

I closed my eyes, taking a deep breathe when I feel Clint get ripped out of my hands. I watch as the Director holds Clint up by his neck, I rush to her side, touching her arm. Realising she must have taken off her jacket, her muscle rippling under my hand.

She cocks her head to the side, looking in Clint's eyes, "I think that is enough from you. It is time to wake up."

"It's time for you to wake up, Maya Smirnoff." Clint said, his tesseract blue eyes boring into her dark eyes.

I couldn't move, I couldn't think, I didn't want to believe it. I step back from her and watch as her hand flashes red, Clint let's out a little yell and she drops him to the floor, before walking out the door.

I move to Clint and see he normal warm brown eyes, he laces his hand in mine "I am so sorry, Tash." 

I smile quickly, punching his arm, "You will be." I get up off the floor and move out of the room. 

Present 

I could not for the life of me remember in the Red Room that Maya had powers. I mean I shouldn't be too shocked, she was always different. No one apart form Clint could understand this change in me, they all knew me as the one with no emotions, it was the way I was taught. Clint was the only one, the one who knew my life in the Red Room. He was the one who saved me, thought I wouldn't tell him that. It would go right to his head. 

I hear a knock on my door, I answer for them to come in and see it was Clint. He came and sat next to me, where I was laying in my bed. 

"Are you okay?" He asked, placing a hand on mine, resting on my stomach, "You know Laura is worried." 

I scoffed, "Of course you would talk to Laura about this." I turn on the bed, facing the wall, back facing him. 

"Well it is concerning Tash, I have never seen you like this, you're almost like a teenager." Clint stated matter of fact. "I know you knew her from the Red Room but it is like she has this hold on you. What happened to the Black Widow, feisty, will kick you if your stare lingers too much, who uses her own body as a weapon?" 

I take a deep breath, "There was a lot I didn't tell you of the Red Room, and she was the reason why. She was a big part of it, she almost become my saviour and then she was taken away and that was that." I turn to look at Clint, he moves to lay beside me so we are fae to face. "I changed because of her, she never came back for me. The shit I had to go through in that place was because she never came back. Now I find out she is married to Dreykov, still running the Red Room and is somehow the director of fucking S.H.E.I.L.D. Where do I go from here?" 

Cint wraps his arms around me, pulling me close, placing a kiss on the crown of my head, "I am not sure what to say, Tash, but there are things that Maya has asked both me and Laura to do for you, no one knows her whole story, but it seems like one thing was consistent." 

"What?" 

"You."

Maya POV 

Well I think the cat is out of the bag because of Barton, though I shouldn't be too made, he wasn't exactly himself. I has been years since I had to be in my uniform, I have forgotten how uncomfortable it was, why did I design it like this? Right because of the dickhead I married, well divorced now. I wonder how my girls are doing under Melina, I should really contact. 

I go through a list in my head to make sure it has been done, when my phone started to ring. 

"Hello? Let me move into a different room" I demand before they could speak, getting up from the table and walking to my office, I see Tony's eyes follow me. As I finally get to my office I tell the caller they are free to speak, I really wish I hadn't. 

"What the fuck have you done? I get a call from Clint to say that you shocked him and then that Natasha is practically comatose because of the information he said while being mind controlled." 

I roll my eyes, "I bet your husband never told you the reason I shocked him was to get him out of his mind being controlled. I am always at fault with him. Also, we all knew how Natasha would react when she heard the truth, though she is no longer a child and she should really come to me like an adult and not get her adoptive mother to  scold me over the phone." 

"I am not her adoptive mother, that would be weird considering." Laura stated, I could almost see her shaking her head in disgust. 

"Laura, look what you are doing, you are calling on her behalf, practically." 

"Clint said she is laying in her bed like a teenager." 

"Is that really my fault?" 

"YES!" Laura yelled, "You were the one who wanted to keep her distance because you are too chicken shit to tell Natasha how she fucking feels. You hid in the darkness for most of her life, which is creepy, and now she is an adult and you can literally do anything to her, you are afraid." 

"Because I know how she was trained." 

"You were trained the same way, you utter idiot, you were the one to change the way they were trained! You know what she knows! Now go talk to her, fuck her, make love to her, whatever, I don't want to think about it." 

I smirk, "The only reason you don't want to think about it is because you wish you could watch."  

"MAYA!" 

I laugh, disconnecting the call, smile on my face for the first time in a long time. I did love to wind up Laura. We struck up a very weird relationship when she start in S.H.E.I.L.D an then she met Clint and the rest, as they say, is history.
