~ 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)

She first saw him when she was 22 years old, and injured on a mission. He was 10 years old, and visiting an aquarium. Percy Jackson looked into Natasha Romanoff's weary but determined eyes, and decided to help her. And so, he pulled a lever, spilling his class and her enemies into a tank. That was not the last she saw of him. By the time several years pass, the two green-eyed siblings by bond will be known as heroes, albeit of different worlds. Perhaps they don't know everything about each other. But they do know that they will always have each other's backs. He helps her out when her missions don't go the way they planned, which doesn't happen too often. She teaches him how to be a good spy, although that isn't the intention when they start the lessons. And they become very close, just as close as true siblings, in fact. So when Natasha finds herself in a complicated position during the Avengers' Civil War, Percy decides to interfere. And the Avengers are extremely surprised when they meet Natasha's younger brother. Plans are made and set in motion, alliances are completely misconstrued, friendships are tested and broken, and the two siblings find themselves on their own side against the world. However, there's something bigger in the works for the Avengers, and they'll need all the help they can get to face it. Including the two green-eyed siblings in everything but blood. This is largely Marvel canon compliant up until Captain America: Civil War, with Percy's interaction with Natasha being a background to the PJO books. Cover by @cajoling - she's awesome, honestly I'd check out her work as well lol
