Time ran through her fingers like water, but when Natasha finds and exposes the mole inside SHIELD hope of finding her long-lost love begins to burn inside her. A flame that might turn the determined spy into a wildfire or burn her out completely. She yearns for the comfort the missing agent had granted her and longs to bring down every bit of the organization that ripped her from her arms. Unknown to Natasha and the team the transformed woman will be a valuable asset in protecting humanity from a big man's vision. But no matter how hard the fight, demons from their past won't wait long to catch up with them. This is part two of their story, so you can go read the other one or just hope that this one will be understandable without. I can't promise that though. AN: All Avengers-related characters' rights belong to Marvel. I only own the storyline and some OCs, most importantly Kathrine Davis. The book contains violence, torture, death, and foul language. Be advised to only read chapters that you feel comfortable with. They will all be assigned the needed trigger warnings. Either way, hope you enjoy it :)

"Bye, bye, bikinis" most of us probably remember Natasha Romanoff saying that. But do you remember what mission she was talking about? Something about Odessa, some tires, a cliff, and the winter soldier. Unfortunately for us, we never got to know how she ended up in that situation. Maybe, just maybe, it would end a little differently in a parallel universe when you add another agent to the equation. Kate is freshly promoted to a level 5 agent. Hoping she can impress Fury further, she's excited when she gets called in for a new mission. But when she meets her chosen partner, memories of her past come back to haunt her. What memories has Kate buried for too long? Will she learn to trust the Black Widow or will she find more reasons not to? What if they start building a connection beyond the professional? Will they be able to pull through and complete the mission? And will it end any different from its original outcome? Trigger Warning: This book contains violence, sickness, torture, and death. It also includes swear words. Since this is my first book I appreciate helpful tips and constructive criticism, so please let me know. I don't own any rights to the Marvel character appearing or mentioned in this book! I do own the rights to the storyline, the main character Kate Davis, the mother, the villain, the families, and other side characters that I come up with. Enjoy:) I made a playlist, too. It's called "Haunted" and has the book's cover.
