It's surprising what people do for power. Natasha remembered when she was injected the weaker version of the Super Soldier Serum, when she was at that place.
Her breathing quickened, Clint shook her shoulders, when he realised she was lost in her thoughts, and it was not the good ones. Shaking her head, Natasha came back to her senses. She nodded her thanks to Clint and decided to go upstairs to talk with her brother, Bruce. The two agents were left alone, as Natasha went upstairs. Clint sighed when he thought of the day, when he had helped Natasha by destroying the headquarters of that organisation, that had made Natasha into a professional killing machine.
Nat knocked on the door, while saying, "Bruce, it's me. "
I stood up from the floor, while replying, "You don't have to knock everytime, sis. " My body was drenched with sweat. Natasha/ Natalia opened the door and looked at me and said, "That's why I knock on your door. You are still at the growing stage, and still have those teenage hormone imbalance. I don't want to walk in when you are busy. "
I understood what she meant by busy. I couldn't help but groan and reply, "I was doing some exercises, not doing what you are thinking. " Natasha simply smiled and said, "I would have to go out for some time. " I nodded, "Ok, sure. " Natasha sighed and added, "I would be gone for a few days, or even weeks, or months. "
My eyebrows twitched and I asked, "Where are you going?" I had guessed where she was going to. Tony Stark, the future Iron man got kidnapped, and Natasha being the member of the Shield. There is only one valid reason for her to be gone for weeks or months, that is to find Tony Stark.
Natasha replied, "It is for work purposes. Since my boss isn't anywhere to be found, I still have to work. If not we won't have money. " This was the excuse Natasha had thought of to fool Bruce. She really didn't want to hide her identity, but she feared how Bruce would feel, once he knows of her past.
She had a lot of blood on her hands, not to say that, it has increased even after she changed the organisation. Even though she was a spy, she always failed to come up with a good excuse in front of her younger brother. It was something that she knew very well.
A few minutes later, when she walked out of Bruce's room, she had a surprised expression on her face. The reason was because when she gave the worst excuse, Bruce simply sighed and said, "You don't have to lie to me. You can go, sis. I am not a child to stop you from doing your work. " Natasha did feel weird when she heard the way he spoke work.
It was as if he knew what she did. But shaking her head, she chose to believe that it was just that she had seen wrong. She left simply saying, "You are always a child to me, Bruce. "
I groaned when Natasha left my room. She did suck at telling lies. I couldn't believe the fact that the spy Natasha was this bad at lying. I even began to think how she had even became a spy to begin with.
Being able to tell lies is the first step of becoming a spy, and Natasha lacked that, or she couldn't come up with better excuses in front of me. Just when I was about to do my push-ups again, the door opened. Natasha looked at me on the floor and said, "My friend would be here to take care of you. And lock the door next time. "
Nat winked when she spoke the last part of the sentence. I shouted back, "I don't need a babysitter. I am not a child. And I was doing exercises, don't you dare to have wrong ideas. " But there was no reply, since Nat didn't reply back to my words.
I sighed and continued doing my exercises. Natasha who was just outside the door smiled to herself, as she walked downstairs back to her colleagues. Her happy face was instantly turned into a serious face.
Clint saw her walking back, so he asked, "How was the talk?" Natasha sighed and replied, "Better than I expected it to be. Unlike before he was okay with me going. " Clint joked with a smile, "Maybe he has found a beautiful girlfriend for himself. That's why he is planning to make you leave the house, so that he could enjoy the time in the house, alone with his girlfriend. " Natasha laughed and said, "He wouldn't do that. I know how much he loves me. He is the best brother I could ever ask for. After Yelena's ... " By the end, her voice broke, but she regained control and said, "Alright. Let's just go for the mission. Maria would be here by the time we reach the airfield. " The others nodded and left the house. Natasha sighed as she looked at Bruce's room one last time.
I remained lying on my back, as I started panting. I was tired from all that exercise, I had been doing. That's when I heard the doorbell. I had already noticed that Nat and the other two had already left. 'Maybe it is the babysitter that Natasha had assigned for me. ', I thought. With a sigh, I stood up and with shaky steps, I walked downstairs and opened the door.
Standing just outside was a beautiful woman, younger than Natasha. Although she wasn't anything compared to my sister and girlfriend, but she was beautiful than the ordinary women. The woman smiled and said, "Hi, I am am Maria. Your sister had asked me to babysit you, for a few days. " Maria.. She was Maria Hill, the right hand of the famous pirate, Nick fking Fury. I couldn't believe my eyes that someone as famous as Maria Hill had came to babysit me.
In MCU after Black Widow, the second most famous person is Daisy Johnson or Skye. And then comes Maria Hill. But Maria could be said to be in the second position in that list, for younger audiences, since who doesn't like a mature woman.
But the Maria Hill in front of me wasn't that old. She was probably a few years older than me.
