Natasha Romanoff goes to live in Avengers Tower when everyone else does, even if that includes a certain metal-armed assassin who has shot her twice. She's less than thrilled when he starts going on missions with them, but he's an excellent partner. It's almost as though he knows what she's going to do, and she begins to become suspicious that there may be more to their past than she remembers.

In an undisclosed location in Russia, there is a school that trains young women to be deadly assassins. When one of their first missions fails, the asset known as the Winter Soldier is brought in to train them. The girls all benefit from his influence, but none more than Natalia Romanova. (WinterWidow, alternating narrators)

After destroying HYDRA's ability to take him again, he starts to define himself as more than the Winter Soldier, and maybe as Bucky Barnes, as more of his past surfaces. When Steve asks him to come back into the field, he can't say no, soon finding himself with a support system he hasn't had in decades. He'll need them when tragedy strikes. (eventual Bucky-centric Civil War story)

She always knew she would survive if SHIELD fell, but she never thought she would be part of the process. With the Avengers going their separate ways again and no SHIELD to return to, she goes under cover to reassess what brought her here, retracing the path from the Red Room to the Avengers and on to whatever she will do next. With a little help from her friends, can she pick up the pieces? (Companion to Terrible Lie)

He barely survives the fall, but they find him and make him the perfect weapon. After being forced to fight his former best friend, he breaks free of his handlers and goes to find himself. With a little help, he gets revenge and ensures that they won't be able to take him again. His mission takes him to a museum, to abandoned bases, and finally back to Steve Rogers.

Steve and Natasha have been together for a year. One day, when a mission goes wrong and Natasha is captured by Hydra, Steve is heartbroken. She goes missing for months and is not found. She returns months later stripped of her identity. She's not the same person any more. She no longer knows who she is. Her memory had been erased and she has one goal and one goal only destroy S.H.I.E.L.D. and kill the avengers. Will they be able to get her memory back? Will she remember all the time she spent with Steve?

This story takes place after Age of Ultron. The team is still together and as strong as ever. One day, Nick Fury and Maria Hill walk into the tower. They explain that the team is going on a mission in Russia. That's nothing out of the ordinary, they've been all over the world. That is, until Fury explains the mission. Vladimir Barkov. Leader of a Russian gang called 'The Russian Rebels.' The man is guilty of illegal human experimentation. He's got enhanced set up around the country. Fury doesn't know how many. He's also got assassins set up everywhere. To even get close to killing this man, they've got to kill his henchmen. The entire time, they can't let the Russian Rebels know they're in Russia or they'll fail the mission and in best case scenario, they'll be killed. "Sitting in this hotel room, staking this guy and his workers out.. I'm losing my mind! This mission-- it's chipping at my walls. I don't think I can rebuild them."

~ W A T T P A D F E A T U R E D ~ A Natasha Romanoff & Clint Barton origin story. ❝My name is Natalia Alianovna Romanova and I work for the KGB. But my life is something of a lie. I work for no one. I work for myself. And I always work alone. I have a very specific skill set. I have charm. I have wit. I have sex appeal. I play to the common weaknesses of men, pulling them in on an invisible thread, ensnaring them in my inescapable web and striking mercilessly like a poisonous spider. For that reason, they call me the Black Widow. I'm cunning, ruthless and utterly unstoppable. I am a one woman fighting machine. I can do more damaged unarmed than most people could do armed. ❞ ❝My name is Clinton Francis Barton and I work for S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm the deadliest agent they have on a squad of suits and scientists. I'm the masked vigilante with a bow and arrow and I never miss. I have keen eyes. I have perfect aim. I have agility. I can shoot down any adversary from any distance, and they never see me coming. They call me Hawkeye, because I have the vision of a bird of prey and I strike just as precisely. I'm strong, I'm dexterous and utterly remarkable. I'm a one man invasion. I can cause more destruction with a Palaeolithic weapon than most people can do with a gun.❞ Two nomadic souls; one American, one Russian. Completely unlike one another. Or so they think. This is a tale of prejudice, politics and passion in Budapest. #60 in Fanfiction (23/10/2015)
