Following the collapse of the Avengers, Natasha Romanoff has disappeared. However, the Red Room doesn't believe in disappearing. It believes in assets, and it just sent its most lethal one to bring her in. When a child assassin in a cat mask is sent for her, a decades old lie begins to unravel. The young girl isn't just a soldier, she is a biological anomaly, a shared project of Hydra and the Red Room, and the daughter Natasha was told had died years ago. Now, on the run from the world, Natasha is forced to navigate a reunion she never thought possible: a daughter who fears her, a sister she hasn't seen in years, and their "parents" who let all of this happen, Natasha must return to where everything began. The Red Room is still active. Dreykov is still breathing. And he wants his most valuable project back. --- Content Warning: This story explores sensitive themes that some readers may find upsetting.
