"Don't look at me like that, he would have done the same to me if he had the chance, I could see it in his eyes," Sophia explained, looking down at her redheaded friend. Natasha shook her head and seemed to hold her self back from saying something to the seventeen-year-old. Instead, she matched Sophia's gaze.
"You did the same move on me yesterday, and you didn't kill me" she commented, her brow deepening. Sophia smiled and wrapped her arm around her friend.
"Well, that's different," Sophia replied as the two girls walked off the mats.
"How?" Natasha asked, rubbing her hands together.
"I could never hurt someone I trust, and I trust you, Romanov."
Sophia Dorcheiv was trained with Natasha Romanoff. Both women were brought up by the Red Room Academy, both were trained to be deadly assassins. When the two graduated, they were separated. Romanoff was to work for the KGB and Dorcheiv for HYDRA.

The plotline is inspired by the film Captain America: The Winter Soldier and takes place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's like Natasha's version of Bucky :)
RATED 15+: This story is violent and graphic, so I wouldn't recommend reading if you are below 15 or if you're not comfortable with violence.
I DO NOT CLAIM ANY OF THE MARVEL CHARACTERS. This is an OC insert.
