I fought the law and the law won

How the Batman met the Widow Part 5

LOCATION: ARGUS Instillation just outside of Gotham

Natasha's POV

I wake up and my eyes quickly burst open in alarm,

I kick aside the thin blanket that covered my legs 

I try and gather my thoughts to determine my whereabouts but my head was killing me,

I remember the roof, the Joker and the Batman but I also remember being wrestled to the floor my shoulder still hurt from their over use of force  

It seems that ARGUS had finally caught up to me.

I rub my aching head well at least they didn't kill me like I originally thought they would if they caught up to me.

I am in an ARGUS infirmary ward it looks like they had treated my wound although it had near enough healed all that was left was a blood stained bandage and a minor flesh wound,

I look up across the room and there sat Agent Black sitting in a chair in the dark corner,

He looked quite dishevelled and tired I wonder what's got to him 

<actually I don't care>

"Finally you're awake" he remarks spitefully,

He stands up from where he was sitting in the corner and approaches me

I don't know what to do half of me wants to snap his neck but instead he puts his hand out for me to shake

"The board have come to a decision Romanoff you have your deal we wont imprison you for your crimes in fact we want to see if your unique skills set could be used to save lives instead, I am to accompany you to Gotham city where we wish you to stay, for now". 

<Is this a Joke?>

I hesitantly shake his hand,

I couldn't believe what I was hearing at first I thought that he might be toying with me but it's all true

I'm free no more hiding no more running I can make up for all the bad things that I have done.

He turns around and heads for the door "Well come on I don't have all day" he snipes at me 

I briskly follow the young agent out of the detainment facility all of the agents stood out of our way some of them glared at me with distain but some of them smile at me for a job well done.

The ride back to Gotham city was tense the atmosphere in the back of the ARGUS designated car was very sour

I intend not to press my luck and keep quiet,

I could tell that Agent Black was not happy at my release making this all that much sweeter.

The car suddenly stops outside a tall building the architecture was very American gothic much like many of the older buildings in Gotham

Agent Black throws me a hoodie to put on and I could see why

A citizen sits on a nearby bench reading a newspaper I catch a quick glimpse of the headline and my name was written all over it

"BLACK WIDOW, GOTHAM'S NEWEST HERO"

I wasn't accustomed to the lime light but the thing that shocked me the most was that people were calling me a hero,

<me a hero?.>

Under the headline was a picture that someone had taken of me on the Batman's bike my long red hair was very noticeable I make a note that I can't be seen in public without some sort of disguise anymore,
