Romanova [COMPLETED STORY]

Six Months Later.
The United States of America.
Nikita Romanova POV.

So, my time in Germany was really great. Sure, the killing wasn't but everything else was. I was just sitting around in my room, trying to unpack when someone knocked on my door.

"Come in," Natalia.

"What do you want Natalia?"

"Natasha, and I need to ask you for a favour."

"Why should I help you?"

"It isn't really for me. My friend, Athena needs some help."

"Athena who?"

"Stark."

"What?"

"Athena Stark."

"Tony's cousin or something?"

"No, his twin sister."

"Tony has a sister?!"

"Yeah, she owns a huge business and is looking for your help."

"How does she know me?"

"Well, she doesn't. I said you might be able to help her out."

"With?"

"Teaching her how to become a class A sniper."

"Why?"

"She won't tell me, but I trust her."

"And just because you do, I'm supposed to?"

"You don't have to."

"Why haven't I heard of her before?"

"She goes by Athena Star and he goes by Tony Stark, she changed her name because she grew up being in the shadows."

"Why?"

"Well, the business was going to Tony after Howard passed or retired, they didn't want a girl in the picture."

"Makes sense I guess. So why is she just resurfacing now?"

"She was underground until she started her own company. Tony saved her from and attack in Africa and since then, they've been less careful about hiding it."

"Why'd she call him?"

"Pepper set up a press conference for the two, she didn't know either. They got in touch and started planning a medical robot when she left for her Africa project. He was the only person she could trust at that time."

"What happened to her?"

"She was driving to another location when her car got bombed and exploded. She sat out, alone, in the heat, bleeding and barely surviving while she waited half a day for Tony to go get her."

"Why didn't she call someone already in Africa?"

"Could have been an inside job. She didn't want to risk dying any more."

"She sounds badass."

"She is. She puts me to shame."

"Everyone puts you to shame."

"Wow. So, what's the answer I can give her?"

"Let me meet her first. I want to know who I'm going to be working with."

"I don't get how you haven't run into her yet. She's over here almost every day."

"I'm in my room. She's probably not where the bedrooms are."

"True, she does stick mainly to Tony's floor. She's even an Avenger you know."

"I wanna work with her."

"We all do. Tony's really protective and crazy about who gets to work with her. Usually only him. Steve flirted for half a second with her, and Tony snapped at him."

"Damn, he's older?"

"By only a few minutes. He takes the job of older brother really seriously."

"Does he know that I might be teaching her how to use dangerous weapons?"

"No."

"Then no! I'm not going to face the wrath of Tony."

"She needs help. Tony isn't letting her do what she needs to. I'll take any blame, if he even finds out."

"Set up a meeting with her. I'll think about it after I meet the girl."

"Will do. Thanks Nik."

"Nikita."

"My bad."
