Summary
They told Clint that the Black Widow was a monster, a ghost, a trained weapon designed to kill.
What they didn't tell him was that she'd open the door barefoot, bruised after a mission went south, holding a gun in one hand and a sleeping toddler in the other.
"Please," she says, voice shaking despite the way she's aiming the pistol straight at his chest. "If you are here to kill me, just do it quietly. She just fell asleep,"
Hawkeye was supposed to take the shot and go home. Instead, he finds a terrified nineteen-year-old trying to keep her daughter fed, hidden and alive while half the world hunts her down.
And yeah - the Black Widow can kill a man in under ten seconds but she's also exhausted, scared out of her mind and standing in a shitty apartment whispering Russian lullabies to a little girl who clings to her like she's the only safe thing in the world.
So, Clint makes a different call - no shot, no mission complete, just - "Pack a bag , Natalia. We gotta go, Now."Turns out saving the Black Widow is a lot harder than killing her. Especially when she doesn't trust anyone, the kid keeps stealing his arrows and SHIELD would really like to know why Clint couldn't complete the mission.
