Song: Hans Zimmer - Beauty Awakens The Soul.

Imagine; you were both part of the red room program, but instead of killing Natasha you let her walk right out. Years later you get the order to kill her again.

'I don't want any repeats of last time I asked you do this, or the consequences will be far worse than the ones you've had...' Abraham says and you nod with a cold look on your face.

'Yes sir...'

'That's my girl...now go kill her off and bring some proof..I don't know take a picture or something...' He suggests and you nod again.

'Yes sir...' you reply again.

You let her go once, and that made them snap at you really badly. Not taking out one of the most dangerous souls they created, which turned against them, wasn't something they were very fond of.

So they strapped you to a chair, let you sit there for days with a drug they created that made you hallucinate the most horrible things, they then beat it out of your system, you still have scars from that time.

You two were best friends, you were like sisters to each other, so instead of killing her you told her to run like hell and well that's what Natasha did.

'Why are we here again?, backstage?'

'I swear I saw a friend...we have to find out if it's her because if it is then nothing good is gonna come out of it...'

'So is this the first bad idea you've ever had or are you familiar with what happens when you execute a bad idea?' Tony asks and Natasha flicks him.

They walks past all the ballerinas dresses up as beautiful swans and some as black swans until they get to the dressing room at the very end.

'Well she always does everything in style...'

'So your friend is like this Odette?' Tony asks confused.

'Odile actually...she never looked good in white and she knows...and besides she always used to be the black swan of the group....'

'So are you all trained for ballerinas?'

'Yes we are, but that's for flexibility and being strong on your toes...' she explains knocking on the door.

'Yes?' The sweet voice of the one who played Odette says.

'Is y/n there?' Natasha asks and the door opens.

You're wiping your makeup off right the second they enter and as soon as you open your eyes to look again you see Natasha pointing a gun at you and you raise your hands, dropping the makeup wipe on the table in front of you.

'What are you doing here?' She asks.

'I came to warm you...I was send to kill you again...'

'And you expect me that after what they did to you, you're still the some old y/n?'

'Well I wouldn't, you and I both know you can never be too sure of someone's intentions...but Natalia I'm here to warn you...if I don't do it someone else will...'

She lowers the gun and you stand up and walk over the door. The one girl playing Odette ran off, of course.

You lock the door after closing it and you get back to dressing yourself properly.

'We need to get out of here, that girl that was just in here...she was theirs too...'

Later that night, the three of you are sitting at the dinner table in your apartment.

'What did they do to you?, after you let me go with Clint?' Natasha asks, the question has been floating around her mind ever since she saw the large scar on your face and the one almost grey eye.

'Nothing you should know about...Nat I'm fine...I just want you to be safe...you have a life..a family...it's better to have your back than going back to them...'

'I searched for you...you need to know that I spend five years tracing you...or at least trying to...'

'I know...you really think you can trace me without me knowing about it somehow?' You smirk at her and she chuckles.

'You can with me you know...with us...Fury did the same for me and Clint, I think I can convince him to make another call....'

'I'm sure you can...but Nat..I don't deserve the kind of life you have right now-'

A knock interrupts you two talking and Tony goes to check but you silently stop him by sticking up your hand.

You take the gun from the table and Natasha silently rises from her seat. She pushes Tony behind her as you slowly walk to the door.

'Miss y/n?, I've got some mail for you...it was delivered in my box on accident!'

You hide the gun behind your back as you open the door with a smile.

'Hey Tyler...thank you for the mail...' you smile and he smiles back as he hands over the papers.

But just before he wants to put them in your hand his eyes go wide and he drops the little pile. You quickly turn around and see both Natasha and Tony being held at gunpoint.

'Run Tyler...don't open the door until I tell you..now go...' you hiss at the boy and he nods.

'You had a chance and you still chose wrong y/n...'

'Depends on where you're standing in this...'

'Either you shoot her right now or I will end them both...your call....' Eli says.

'Shoot me instead...that's what you always wanted right?' You reply.

'Y/n what are you doing?' Natasha asks confused as you carefully take two steps forward.

'Every time I beat you in the red room, you wanted to kill me right?, well now you have the chance...so do it...'

'Are you crazy?' Tony hisses.

'Go ahead Eli...shoot me...' you say dropping the gun.

It shocks Eli so much that it opens a small window of movement for Natasha to get out of his grasp, take him down and knock Tony's captor out.

'We need to go...' you say opening the door for them to run through.

What you didn't expect as a gun going off while you were rushing out.

'Y/n!' Nat yells when she sees you falling to your knees as you clutch your stomach.

Eli swiftly gets up and you sign Natasha to start running.

'I won't leave you...' Natasha tries to pull you to your feet but Eli pushes her away before she can.

'Natalia Go!, Now!' You yell before your airway gets cut off by Eli's hand wrapping around it.

'Nat we have to go...' Tony pulls her down those steps that lead to the ground level of the building.

'You're really stupid...' you gasp for air.

'You're the one seconds away from dying...' Eli grins.

'But you let Natalia Romanova escape...'

His face hardens when the realisation hit him that he was supposed to go after Natalia and not you. You can feel him pull you up higher until your feet can't even touch the floor anymore.

'Don't you worry about me sweetheart, at least I did one of my missions right...'

'What?'

'Killing you if you failed...' he speaks as he then holds you above the stairwell.

He then lets go off you, sending you into a free fall. The last thing you see before you hit that cold, hard floor is Eli watching you fall.

And then you hit it.

'NO!' Natasha yells as she rushes to your body.

Blood starts pooling from under you and Natasha doesn't care if she gets dirty or shot at at this moment.

'Y/n...c'mon...'

'Friday?' Tony asks as he lets her scan your body.

'I'm sorry boss..her injuries are fatal..' she speaks and Tony closes his eyes. He can't bare to see his best friend kneeling besides her best friend.

'Now for the grand finale-' Eli says but gets interrupted by a gun going off and his body slides down the last couple of steps before coming to a halt at the bottom.

'Please no...y/n don't do this to me c'mon...' she says tossing the gun she just had in the corner and trying to revive you by starting up your heart again.

'C'MON!' She yells frustrated.

'Please...' she whimpers.

'Please...'

'Nat...Nat...NAT!' Tony yells as he rushes to the living room.

'What?' She asks confused as she sits up.

'You'd want to see this...' Tony practically pulls her down to his lab to show her.

'What is it I'm supposed to see?' She asks when she's standing in front of the large screen.

And it's only when she starts to look closer, she sees the blinking red dot.

'Tap on it..' Tony instructs her and she does with a shaking finger.

Your name pops up together with surveillance footage of you walking on the almost empty train station.

'She's...alive?....'

'And she's here...' you speak up as you come walking into the lab.

'Y/N!' She yells as tears fall from her eyes.

She rushes towards you and you open your arms just in time before she wraps hers around you.

'Careful Nat I'm not fully healed...'

'How?!, how can you be alive?!'

'You ask your friends...one of them was named Fury I think...'

'Fury you son of a bitch...' she breathes happily as she steps back.

'Also...I'm here to take you up on that job offer you could arrange for me...I was hoping it was still available?'

'For you always..' she smiles as she wraps her arms around you again.

'And you're wrong...you have family...and you're about to have the weirdest family ever...' she chuckles.

'I can't wait...'
