Natasha Romanoff was not the only Black Widow, nor was she the only Widow to go rogue. However, some stayed closer to home.
Although escaping the Red Room did not mean ultimate freedom. Instead, it meant a life of constantly being hunted and having to always hide and be on the run. A life, perhaps, better suited to being alone. A very lonely life.
She had been cautioned against it, by various different people over the years - herself included. She knew what it was like to lose everyone you loved, and all at once, and never wanted to go through that again.
So she cautioned herself, isolated herself. But before she knew it, Sascha had fallen in love.
Sascha Shostakov had been working for the Red Room for many years as the Black Widow, Red Army super-soldier, enhanced by a special serum. However, she reacted to the serum - it gave her the intended super-strength, but it also took effect in the form of mental harm, and Sascha would from then on be plagued by crippling dark visions and nightmares. Certainty of something looming in the distant future, but unable to be sure of what.
Difficult circumstances can bring people together, and that was certainly the case for Sascha Shostakov and Yelena Belova.
This is their story.
But the Red Room was no place for a blossoming romance, especially between two of the Widows, but upon escaping, it was no easier.
Natasha left, heading to America to pursue a different life, abandoning her family and leaving the two younger women. They were not alone, however, and had each other, always. Leaving each other was never an option.

(Anyone else think the 'Black Widow' movie looks freaking amazing?! :D It looks very 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier', which is still my favourite Marvel movie!
So if you're reading my 'Endgame' story you'll know that I changed my version of Yelena to Sascha so that I can include Florence Pugh's Yelena in my story :) so here we go! (sorry for the confusion!)
