"He's strong, he's fast, has a metal arm," says Steve. "Most of the intelligence community doesn't believe he exists, the ones that do call him the Winter Soldier. He's a ghost, you'll never find him," Natasha replies. If only they knew he would find them first.
It was supposed to be an easy mission. Get in, eliminate the target, and get out, but things are never easy when they involve Natasha Romanov, Steve Rogers, and the past.
What if Steve left Natasha back in the training facility in New Jersey when Hydra blew it up? (kind of Natasha as Winter Soldier AU)
She always was a very good singer.
They say pictures are worth a thousand words, but all she needed was three.
The minute the bag was dropped she knew.
The only thing separating them is a door, so why wait to tell him what she thinks until her heart is exploding on some beach miles away?
She was a spy, but she was a soldier. She was a women, but she was a tool. Lastly Natasha Romanoff was heaven and hell combined into one, fighting a war that no one can win; a war against herself. (A series of oneshots set after Cap 2)
The past leaves permanent marks like scars, that make sure you never forget, but it becomes a little less painful when you're not alone. (Post Cap 2)
It hurt in a silent way. The way that glass shatters from a high shelf when no one's home; it still leaves the pieces broken and bent, expect no one is there to help pick them up.
Just when JJ thought that her troubling past was behind her, a case gone bad, and a risky trial force her to dig up the details, and relive the moments that she was trying so hard to forget. When your future is on the line, how much of your past will you put forth before you break?
The four times Natasha Romanov knocked on his door, and the one time he knocked on hers (that ended pretty badly). Plus the one time he made it up to her.
When she wasn't out on a mission, she was always writing. Steve thought that it was a way for her to get back at him for not showing her his drawings, but somehow this was different.
She watched the bittersweet sky from the rooftop, and she couldn't stop from blaming herself, and in that moment she's never felt more alone. When Natasha Romanov has been pushed to the breaking point, there's only one person that can help glue her pieces back together, and not get severely injured in the process.
All these lies were eating her up inside. She went to work, and came home, just like she always did, but for three years she hasn't been the same women. Sooner or later JJ was going to get caught, she just always thought she'd get a chance to say goodbye first. What do you do when your secret past comes to light, and your life depends on it?
