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.

absolution /ˌabsəˈluːʃn/ When half of the universe vanished, the heroes and villains did too. Earth was left a graveyard of quiet, rot-stained cities, full of children who were forced to inhale the dust of their families. Fourteen-year-old Maren didn't survive the collapse by being good. She survived by being quick, terrified, and ruthless. Now, carrying a violence she never asked for and a guilt that eats her alive from the inside out, she finds herself at the gates of the half-empty Avengers compound, built for gods who couldn't save anyone, least of all themselves. Caught in the space between grief and survival, Maren has to learn how to exist in the wreckage alongside the broken remains of Earth's mightiest. But forgiveness isn't something given freely in a dead world. It is something carved out of the long, bitter years of learning how to stay human when everything around you has turned to waste.

𝑀𝒾𝓈𝓈 𝒜𝓂𝑒𝓇𝒾𝒸𝒶𝓃 𝒫𝒾𝑒 In a world built on secrets, she was the biggest one. Russia, 1999 - the Red Room was collapsing under the weight of its own ambition. So they changed the rules. Instead of selecting gifted children, they made one. Artificially created and born into silence, Tate Romanoff was supposed to be born to follow orders, not dreams. But Natasha Romanoff had other plans. When Natasha escaped the Red Room for her life and her unborn child, she never could have guessed what was in store for them. cover by the lovely @theredwidowp🫶

Hydra's top asset, Alexander's favourite, and most ruthless assassin is sent on a once in a lifetime mission, which seems easy enough, until she ends up right in the avengers palms. Things take an unexpected turn to her as she begins to question the life she has lived and the things she has done.

The Avengers have lost; for the first time in years, the avengers have failed. Thanos successfully snapped away half of the world population, leaving the remaining avengers to cope. They have no more brave team of heroes and the world is left to fend for itself. At least now, the survivors have finally found a life of peace, away from the fighting as they enter their retirement. It never lasts though, not for the avengers. When Tony finds a young girl with electrokinetic abilities she can't control, he has to gather what is left of his team to help her. Unable to do much for one so powerful, they send her to the only person who she can't harm: Thor, the god of thunder and lightning. Thor isn't the same though, not after losing everything. How can he help her when he can't even help himself?

"Stay still. Don't move. Not even a Little Bit. It won't hurt if you don't move."

Three year old Samir was found wandering alone in rural India by Bruce Banner in two thousand and eleven.
