All I knew was death. They made me into a monster. I was no longer the innocent child I was. They made me into Natalia Romanova, the cold-hearted killer. But I found the strength to leave. Only, there was one thing stopping me. Him. He had been in cryo for decades, and I wanted to help, but there was no way I could sneak him out. Instead, I became his friend, and first mission partner. He always had a half mask, covering his nose and mouth. It was more of a muzzle than anything, but his eyes would tell me enough. He wanted the same thing I did. Freedom.
I got sent to America on assignment, but I was captured by SHIELD. They helped me become more human. Well, feel more human than I had since I was a small child. But they never knew who I truly was. Who I cared for. Nor who made me the monster the caught.
Truth is, I only remembered caring for one person. My soldier.
