NO ONE'S POV:

(Natasha watches policemen gather around her location. She decides to call Ross who's also there.)

Ross: Hello?

Natasha: Don't do this.

Ross: Do what?

Natasha: Come after me. I mean, you're embarrassing yourself. It looks desperate.

Ross: Thought maybe you'd be calling to cut a deal. (ON SPEAKER)'Cause from my vantage point, it's the federal fugitive who's desperate.

Natasha: From my vantage point, you look like you could use some bed rest. What is this, your second triple bypass?

Ross: I wouldn't worry about me. We got Barton, we got Wilson, and that other guy, the incredible shrinking convict. Rogers is on the run. You have no friends. You don't even have your clawed boyfriend. Where are you gonna go?

Natasha: I lived a lot of lives before I met you, Ross. You shouldn't have gone to all this trouble. I'm done.

(Natasha hangs up.)

Ross: Romanoff?

(It's revealed that Natasha is actually on a boat somewhere & not where Ross & the policemen are.)

Faroe Islands

(We see Y/N inside of the Kallur Lighthouse.)

(Y/N): I wonder where she is? She did say to meet her here, right?

(Y/N walks around the lighthouse as he waits for Natasha to show up. After walking for a while, he sits down on a bench.)

(Y/N): [sighs]

(A man walks up to Y/N.)

Man: Hey. You're the Wolverine, right?

(Y/N): Fuck off.

Man: Yeah, you're him.

(Y/N): I'm sorry. It's just...

(Y/N runs his hands over his hair.)

(Y/N): I had a long flight and it looks like my girl stood me up so...

Man: Oh, she didn't stand you up, mate.

(Y/N): And you know that how exactly?

Man: Because she sent me to get you.

(Y/N): Right. You are?

Man: Rick Mason. Pleasure to meet you.

(Y/N): And what do you do, Rick Mason?

Rick: I'm an independent contractor.

(Y/N): All right. Let's go.

(Y/N stands up from the bench & walks past Rick.)

Rick: I thought that'd be harder.

Norway

(Y/N & Rick are in Natasha's mobile home.)

(Y/N): So, this is it?

Rick: What? You don't like it?

(Y/N): It's...homey?

Rick: Well it's not just for you anyway.

(Y/N): Yeah, yeah. So, she's on her way?

Rick: Yup!

(Rick lays on the bed.)

Rick: Make yourself comfortable.

(Y/N): Will do.

Rick: Hey, Wolverine.

(Y/N): (Y/N). What?

Rick: Could I see them?

(Y/N): See what?

Rick: Your claws.

(Y/N): Sure.

*SKINT*

(Y/N pops his claws & shows them to Rick.)

Rick: Whoa. Shiny.

(Y/N): Yeah, I guess they are.

Rick: Can I touch them?

(Y/N): No.

Rick: Weird of me to ask?

(Y/N): Kinda.

(Y/N walks into the bathroom as we cut to Natasha walking into her mobile home & waking up Rick who fell asleep on her bed.)

Natasha: You're in my bed.

Rick: I'm, I'm not even under the covers.

Natasha: Did you get everything on my list?

Rick: Got passports, entry visas, couple of local driver's licenses.

(Rick hands them to Natasha.)

Rick: Mix and match, you should be able to stretch it to 20 or so identities.

Natasha: Where's (Y/N)?

Rick: Who?

Natasha: (Y/N). Wolverine. My boyfriend. Ring any bells?

Rick: Oh, yeah. He's right there.

(Rick points at Y/N causing Natasha to turn around & smile once she sees Y/N.)

Natasha: Killer.

(Y/N): I, uh, [chuckles] tried to clean myself up the best I could.

Natasha: You look great to me.

(Y/N): As do you.

(Y/N walks up to Natasha & kisses her.)

(Y/N): I missed you.

Natasha: I missed you too.

Rick: [gags]

(Y/N): I don't think we're that bad.

Natasha: [chuckles]

(Natasha looks down at one of her fake names.)

Natasha: Fanny Longbottom?

Rick: What?

Natasha: What are you 12?

Rick: That is a legitimate name. [chuckles]

(Y/N): Still sounds ridiculous.

Rick: We've got a generator outside. It's petrol-powered. And the septic tank will need a flush in a couple weeks, but, you know, I've got a guy coming for that.

(Y/N): Good to know.

Rick: You have to haul your rubbish into town. It's just a 20-minute drive. I've got your basic hardware kit stashed under the stairs.

Natasha: Nice.

Rick: Are you okay?

Natasha: Why wouldn't I be?

Rick: I hear things. Something about the Avengers getting divorced.

(Y/N): That's one way of putting it.

Natasha: Ugh. It's fine. I've got (Y/N).

(Y/N smiles at her.)

Rick: Are you sure?

Natasha: Yeah.

Rick: Because you can tell me, you know. That's the way the whole friends thing works.

Natasha: I know. I have friends.

Rick: People who have friends don't call me.

Natasha: And I don't pay you to worry.

(Y/N): That's my job.

Natasha: And you're good at it.

(Rick walks out of the mobile home, Natasha & Y/N watch him leave.)

Natasha: Oh, hey. What's all this junk?

Rick: Oh, just some mail and personals from the Budapest safe house.

(Y/N): Interesting.

Natasha: Budapest?

Rick: Yeah. Budapest.

Natasha: No, it's "Budapest."

Rick: Budapest. Budapest.

(Y/N): "Budapest."

Natasha: It's "Budapest."

Rick: Whatever. I knew you weren't going back there, so I've got someone else to flat now.

Natasha: Sorry you went through the trouble. I would've told you to chuck it.

Rick: Well, if you don't want it, throw it in the rubbish. Or you could have your boyfriend tear it to shreds.

(Y/N): We'll see what happens.

(Cut to Natasha putting the box in the trunk of her car with Y/N standing beside her.)

(Y/N): Too bad we can't really experience Norway because of you being a fugitive and all.

Natasha: Don't remind me. I'm sure we can find something to do to...pass the time.

(Y/N): Hmm.

(Cut to them watching Moonraker while Natasha leans her head onto Y/N's shoulder.)

Natasha: (SPEAKING ALONG) Why did you break up the encounter with my pet python? Because I discovered he had a crush on me.

(Y/N): How many times have you seen this movie?

Natasha: It's my first time with you.

(The power goes out.)

Natasha: Oh, great.

(Y/N): Fantastic.

(Cut to them trying to restart the generator.)

(Y/N): Rick gave you a piece of shit, huh?

Natasha: Looks...

(Natasha tries restarting it.)

Natasha: ...Like it! [sighs]

(They're unable to restart it so they get into her car & drive to town for some gas. Cut to Natasha in the car.)

Natasha: How's it going as a bodyguard?

(Y/N): Pretty good I'd say. I was a little green at first.

Natasha: That's to be expected.

(Y/N): I know. It helps that the kid and his best friend are nice. His aunt's really sweet.

Natasha: Is that right?

(Y/N): Hey, now. I know what you're thinking. Nothing happened, I love you.

(Natasha touches the side of Y/N's face with her hand.)

Natasha: I know. I love you too.

(Cut to them about to reach the bridge.)

(Y/N): You've kissed Steve, right?

Natasha: Where is this coming from?

(Y/N): Nowhere. I'm just curious.

Natasha: Well, I have.

(Y/N): Knew it. Is he a better kisser than me?

Natasha: [chuckles]

(Y/N): Don't laugh.

Natasha: Sometimes I forget how jealous you can get. It's cute.

(Y/N): I'm not jealous. It's just something I need to know.

Natasha: [chuckles] If you say so.

(Y/N): So, is Steve a better kisser than me or not?

Natasha: He-

(Before she can answer, the car is shot by something that flips it halfway across the bridge. The car is slightly hanging from the bridge.)

(Y/N): [groans] Natasha...?

Natasha: I'm pretty sure Ross has no jurisdiction here. And you should know I'm a better shot when I'm pissed off.

(Natasha pulls out a pistol & shoots at the person responsible for flipping the car. The person blocks the bullets with a shield. Natasha reloads her gun but before she can fire it, the person throws the shield at her that lands in the window slint.)

Natasha: (Y/N), are you okay?

(Y/N): Never better.

(Natasha unclips his seatbelt as the two get out of the car & look for the person responsible.)

(Y/N): Who are we dealing with?

Natasha: I don't know-

(She looks up to see the person flip over them, block her bullets with their shield, & lands in front of them.)

*SKINT*

(Y/N pops his claws & tackles the person to ground.)

(Y/N): I'd like to say it was nice knowing you but...

(Y/N goes to stab the person in the face with three of his claws but the person moves their head resulting in Y/N stabbing the road.)

(The person gets their legs under Y/N & flips him overhead.)

*THUD*

(Y/N): [grunts]

(The person gets back up as Natasha attempts a hurricanrana but the person reverses into one of their own resulting in both of them falling to the ground & looking face to face as if the person is analyzing Natasha.)

(Y/N): Okay...

(The two stare at each other as the person turns back at something in the car & begins walking towards it.)
Natasha: You're not here for me or (Y/N).

(Y/N notices what the person is staring at & runs to it as Natasha attempts to slow the person down.)

(Imagine Y/N in the background.)

(The person kicks Natasha back causing Y/N to swing angrily at the person who dodges & attempts to grab the case but Y/N uses this to his advantage to...)

*SLASH*

(Barely slash across the person's mask.)

Mystery Person: ...

(Y/N): Not even a grunt?

(The person takes out a sword. Before the person can use it however, Natasha takes the person's shield & the person swings their sword against the shield as Natasha's holding it. The person swings the sword at Y/N who blocks it with his arm.)

(Y/N): [winces]

(The person kicks Y/N in the gut which sends him back.)

(Y/N): [annoyed growl]

(The person ends up kicking Natasha into Y/N...)

Natasha & (Y/N): [grunting]

*SPLASH*

(With them falling into the water below. Luckly, Y/N was still holding whatever that person wanted. Cut to Y/N carrying Natasha & the case out of the water.)

Natasha: [coughs] My hero.

(Y/N): *gets water out of his ears* I've pulled people out of the water too many times for my liking recently.

(Y/N hands Natasha the case & she takes out what's inside along with a picture of two little girls.)

Natasha: [panting]

(Y/N): Who are the girls?

Natasha: [panting] That's me and...my sister.

(Y/N): You have a sister?

Natasha: Oh, shit.

Budapest

(Natasha & Y/N in an elevator that's going up.)

(Y/N): [whistles] Are you going to tell me about your sister or...?

Natasha: There's nothing to tell.

(Y/N): I find that hard to believe.

(The exit the elevator where Natasha goes up to a vent & takes out a pistol.)

(Y/N): Are we expecting some action?

Natasha: Better to be safe than sorry.

(Natasha walks up to the doors of a room.)

Woman: [muffled] I know you're out there.

Natasha: I know you know I'm out here.

(Natasha takes out the pistol as they walk around the room.)

Woman: Then why are you and your boyfriend sulking around like it's a minefield?

Natasha: 'Cause I don't know if I can trust you.

(Y/N): [sniffs] She's the person here.

Woman: [chuckles] Funny, I was going to say the same thing. And thanks, Captain Obvious.

Natasha: So, we gonna talk like grown ups?

Woman: Is that what we are?

(Natasha & Y/N walk forward as the woman walks backwards.)

Woman: Put it down before I make you.

Natasha: You put yours down.

(Y/N): How about you both put your guns down simultaneously?

Natasha: (Y/N), I got this.

Woman: So, his name is (Y/N)? He looks more like a James.

(Y/N): Really?

Natasha: Watch your step.

Woman: [chuckles softly]

(They take each other's guns & point them at each other. The two begin to fight as Natasha smashes the woman into a cabinet.)

(Y/N): Damn.

(Natasha holds the woman down on the counter.)

Natasha: Stay down. Stay down!

Woman: [screams]

(The woman grabs a plate & smashes Natasha in the face with it. Natasha attempts to choke the woman with a curtain but the woman flips Natasha into a kitchen door.)

*SMASH*

(Y/N): [growls] You sure you don't want my help?

Natasha: I got this!

(Y/N): It doesn't look like it.

(The woman grabs a kitchen knife & attempts to stab Natasha.)

(After seeing this, Y/N no longer stands on the sidelines as he walks over to them fighting, pulls the woman's hair, & pulls her away from Natasha.)

Natasha: Killer, what are you doing?

(Y/N): I'm handling it.

(The woman turns around & smacks Y/N arm away, releasing her hair. She punches Y/N across the jaw.)

*THUD*

(But thanks to his adamantium skeleton, it hurts her fist.)

Woman: *holds her fist* Ah!

(Y/N): Ha!

(Y/N grabs the woman by the throat & lifts her up.)

(Y/N): Now, just relax and I'll let you go.

Woman: *glares*

(The woman lifts her legs up & wraps them around Y/N's neck & the arm lifting her, trapping Y/N in a triangle choke.)

Woman & (Y/N): *glare at each other*

(Y/N): [shouts]

(Y/N lifts the woman up & powerbombs her onto the ground.)

*THUD*

(The woman seems unfazed by this & begins to squeeze her legs around Y/N's neck. Causing Y/N to...)

*SKINT*

(Y/N pops two of his claws between the woman's neck in hopes of her letting go but she doesn't. His face starts to turn a different shade as...)

*SLOW SKINT*

(He slowly pops his third claw & it slowly reaches the woman's throat. Natasha runs up to the two.)

Natasha: *TRANSLATED FROM RUSSIAN* Truce.

(The woman lets go of Y/N & he retracts his claws.)

(Y/N): [gasping]

Natasha: *TRANSLATED FROM RUSSIAN* You've grown up.

Woman: *TRANSLATED FROM RUSSIAN* No shit.

(The woman looks at Y/N.)

Woman: *TRANSLATED FROM RUSSIAN* "Handled."

(Y/N): *TRANSLATED FROM RUSSIAN* Shut up. Who are you anyway?

Woman: Yelena. Her sister.

(Y/N): *rubs his neck* Explains how you fight.

(Cut to all of three standing.)

Natasha: You had to come to Budapest, didn't you?

Yelena: I came here because I thought you wouldn't. But since you're here, what bullets do that?

(Natasha & Y/N look back at holes in the wall.)

Natasha: Not bullets. Arrows.

Yelena: Ah, right.

(Y/N): Clint did that?

Natasha: If you didn't think I'd come here, why'd you send me this?

(Natasha places the red vials & the picture of them on the table.)

Yelena: You brought that back here?

(Yelena walks away causing Natasha & Y/N to follow her.)

Natasha: We're not here to be your friends, but you need to tell us what that is.

(Y/N): That'd be helpful.

Yelena: It's a synthetic gas. The counter agent to chemical subjugation. The gas immunzies the brain's neural pathways from external manipulation.

Natasha: Maybe in English next time.

Yelena: *TRANSLATED FROM RUSSIAN* It's an antidote to mind control.

Natasha: *TRANSLATED FROM RUSSIAN* Real mature.

(Y/N): Siblings, am I right?

Yelena: Why don't you take it to one of your super-scientist friends? They can explain it to you. Tony Stark, maybe.

Natasha: Oh, yeah. We're not really talking right now, so...

(Y/N): He doesn't pick up when I call and if he did, he probably wouldn't like who I'm with right now.

Yelena: Great. Perfect timing. Where's an Avenger when you need one? Why can't your boyfriend be one of the smart ones?

(Y/N): Prodolzhay govorit' der'mo, i ya razrezhu tebya popolam.

("Prodolzhay govorit' der'mo, i ya razrezhu tebya popolam" is "Keep talking shit and I'm going to cut you in half in Russian.")

Yelena: YA pryamo zdes'.

("YA pryamo zdes'" is "I'm right here" in Russian.)

Natasha: Stop it. Both of you. I don't want to be here. I'm on the run. You could've gotten me killed.

Yelena: Had time for (Y/N).

Natasha: I thought I could spend some time with him.

(Y/N): [sighs]

Yelena: How sweet. Well, what was I supposed to do? You're the only superhero person I know.

(Natasha changes as Yelena looks at the bruises on her back.)

Yelena: That was the whole reason I sent it to you. I kept checking the news, expecting to see Captain America bringing down the Red Room.

Natasha: What? Taking down the Red Room? What are you talking about? It's been gone for years. Dreykov's dead. I killed him.

(Y/N): I'm starting to think that's not the case, Nat.

Yelena: Hm, you're smarter than you look. You don't actually believe that, do you? You really do believe that.

Natasha: Dreykov's dead. It took almost destroying the entire city just to get to him.

Yelena: If you're so sure, then tell me what happened. Tell me exactly.

Natasha: We rigged bombs.

Yelena: Who's "we"? (Y/N)?

Natasha: No, Clint Barton.

(Y/N): Ah, of course.

Natasha: Killing Dreykov was the final step in my defection to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Yelena: Simple as that?

Natasha: Yeah, sure, "simple."

(Natasha walks past Yelena & Y/N prompting them to follow her.)

Natasha: That's what I'd call imploding a five-story building and then shooting it out with the Hungarian Special Forces. Took 10 days in hiding before we could even get out of Budapest.

(Y/N): Sounds like you guys had one hell of a time.

Yelena: And you checked the body? Confirmed the kill?

Natasha: There was no body left to check.

Yelena: You're forgetting Dreykov's daughter.

(Y/N): What?

(Before the conversation can continue, a hole gets blown out of the roof causing the three to scatter. Out of the hole slides down two Widows.)

*SKINT*

(Y/N pops his claws & is about to face them but before he can Yelena runs by him & pulls alongside her.)

Yelena: You can't kill them!

(Y/N): Why not?

Yelena: No time to explain.

(Y/N): Ugh.

(The regroup with Natasha & leave the room as they knock down the two Widows. The trio run into a hallway where they're shot at. Y/N's shot in the face but thanks to his healing factor, it pushes out the bullets.)

(Y/N): [groans] Stupid, little bitches...

(The trio run down the hallway.)

Natasha: Where are we trying to get to?

Yelena: Motorbike! East side of the building.

(Cut to them running across rooftops as a Widow is in pursuit. They run up to a pillar which Yelena unscrews & they hold onto as the Widow jumps after them.)

Natasha: I got you!

(The Widow attempts to stab Natasha causing her to let go of the Widow. Yelena crashes into a window as Natasha & Y/N fall straight down to the ground. Natasha hits some piping & ventilation shafts on her way down. (Y/N) on the other hand...)

*SPLAT*

(Splashes right down on the ground.)

(Y/N): [groans] I can't breathe.

(Y/N looks up to see Natasha walking towards the Widow who's down with a broken leg.)

Natasha: Hey. Don't move. You're hurt. Let me help you.

(Cut to Dreykov clicking "terminate" on the Widow Cut back to The Widow readies a blast around her wrist & moves it towards her head.)

Widow: I don't want to do this.

Natasha: What are you doing?

Widow: He's making me.

(The Widow shoots herself in the head. Natasha & Y/N walk over to the Widow's body as Natasha kneels down in front of it & Y/N places a hand on her back. They look beside them to see that Yelena has made her way down.)

Yelena: Do you believe me now?

Natasha: How many others?

Yelena: Enough.

(Y/N): There's always an army.

(Natasha & Y/N follow Yelena into a neighborhood & they run to some motorbikes. )

Natasha: Which one's yours?

Yelena: Black one. Brown seat. Where are my keys?

(Natasha takes out Yelena's keys.)

Yelena: *TRANSLATED FROM RUSSIAN* ...ah, bitch.

(Y/N): [chuckles]

Natasha: Any day now.

Yelena: I don't think all three of us are going to fit.

(A car flips by them.)

(Y/N): You two go.

Natasha: What about you?

(An armored vehicle drives up to them.)

*SKINT*

(Y/N): I won't be far behind.

(Natasha drives off with Yelena as Y/N jumps onto the armored vehicle & sinks his claws into it & prepares for the ride.)

(Y/N): [groans] Natasha's sister, Yelena. She's not what I expected then again, I don't know what I was expecting.

(Y/N slashes into the armored vehicle as we cut to Natasha & Yelena now driving a stolen car whilst being shot at by a Widow.)

Yelena: How did you and (Y/N) meet?

Natasha: Can we talk about that later?

Yelena: Okay, you got a plan, or shall I just stay duck-and-cover?

Natasha: Yeah, my plan was to drive us away and wait for (Y/N) to regroup with us.

Yelena: That's a shit plan.

(Yelena opens her door that hits a pole, detaches from the car, & knocks the Widow off her motorbike. The armored vehicle shows up with Y/N on the front of it.)

Yelena: Oh, shit. He's back.

(Cut to Y/N still on the front of the armored vehicle.)

(Y/N): Come on out. Don't tell me you're scared.

(Suddenly, a hatch opens on top of the armored vehicle, the person who he & Natasha fighting on the bridge appears out of it, wraps a rope around Y/N's neck...)

(Y/N): What the-

(The person takes out a bow & hits Y/N in the face with it.)

(Y/N): [grunts, growls]

(Y/N turns back to see...)

(Y/N): Shit.

(The person fires the arrow at the car that Natasha & Yelena are in, taking Y/N with it. The arrow drags Y/N under the car as it attaches to the bottom & explodes sending the car into a subway station.)

Yelena: Natasha, no. I'm bleeding.

(Yelena attempts to wrap her arm but Natasha stops her.)

Natasha: No. Not now, trust me. Wait, where's (Y/N)?

(They look over the car to see a charred Y/N.)

(Y/N): ...

Yelena: Natasha, I'm sorry, but we have to leave him.

Natasha: I'm not leaving him!

(Cut to the trio in a ventilation shaft.)

Natasha: You okay?

Yelena: Yeah. Great plan. Shouldn't you be more concerned about-

(Yelena watches Y/N's healing factor in full effect as his skin heals back over his burns.)

Yelena: Okay...

Natasha: You get used to it.

(Y/N): Everyone does.

Yelena: You're not used to this, (Y/N), but I loved the part where I almost bled to death.

(Yelena looks around.)

Yelena: This is cozy.

Natasha: Barton and I spent two days hiding out up here.

(Y/N): How intimate.

Natasha: It wasn't like that.

(Y/N): I know.

Yelena: That must've been fun.

(Yelena looks at the hangman & tic tac toe games edged into a ventilation shaft.)

Natasha: Who the hell is that guy?

Yelena: Dreykov's special project.

(Y/N): He sure is special.

Yelena: He can mimic anyone he's ever seen. It's like fighting a mirror. Dreykov only deploys him for top-priority missions.

Natasha: This doesn't make any sense.

Yelena: Well, the truth rarely makes sense when you omit key details.

Natasha: What is that supposed to mean?

Yelena: You didn't say one word about Dreykov's daughter. You killed her.

Natasha: I had to.

(Yelena & Y/N look at Natasha.)

Natasha: I needed her to lead me to Dreykov.

(Flashback of Natasha confirming Dreykov is there for the mission to be a go.)

Natasha: Dreykov's daughter was collateral damage. I needed her to be sure.

(Flashback of the explosion.)

Yelena: And here you are, not so sure.

Natasha: [sighs] I needed out.

(Y/N places a hand on her back as we cut the trio in a gas station.)

Natasha: The Red Room's still active. Where is it?

Yelena: I have no idea. He moves location constantly. And every widow is sedated on entry and exit for maximum security.

(Y/N): Somebody's thorough.

Natasha: I'm just finding it hard to believe that he could stay off my radar.

Yelena: Well, it's not smart to attack an Avenger if you want to stay hidden. I mean, the clue is in the name. Dreykov kills you, one of the big ones or most likely, (Y/N) avenges you.

(Y/N): Yeah, I'd avenge her.

Natasha: Wait, what are the big ones?

Yelena: Well, I doubt the god from space has to take an ibuprofen after a fight. Where did you think I was all this time?

Natasha: I thought you got out and were living a normal life.

Yelena: And you just never made contact again?

Natasha: Honestly, I thought you didn't want to see me again.

Yelena: [scoffs] Bullshit. You just didn't want your baby sister to embarrass you in front of your new boyfriend and tag along, whilst you save the world with cool kids.

Natasha: You weren't really my sister.

(Natasha & Y/N walk past Yelena.)

(Y/N's thoughts): Should I say something? I feel like I should say something.

Yelena: And the Avengers aren't really your family.

(Y/N): I mean, I like to think I try.

Yelena: Oh, I'm sure you do. Why do you always do that thing?

Natasha: Do what?

Yelena: That thing you do when you're fighting. (Y/N), you have to know what I'm talking about.

(Y/N): Uh, no?

Yelena: The...Like, the...

(Imagine Y/N next to Natasha.)

Yelena: This thing that you do when you whip your hair when you're fighting with the arm and the hair. And you do, like a fighting pose. [laughs] It's a...[laughs] It's a fighting pose. You're a total poser.

Natasha: I'm not a poser.

(Y/N): You do that pose a lot.

(Natasha smacks Y/N's arm.)

Natasha: (Y/N).

Yelena: [laughs] Oh, come on. I mean, they're great poses, but it does look like you think everyone's looking at you, like, all the time.

Natasha: All that time I spent posing, I was actually trying to do something good to make up for all the pain I caused and suffering that we caused. Trying to be more than a trained killer.

Yelena: Well, then you were fooling yourself because pain and suffering is every day and we are both a trained killer. Except I'm not the one that's on the cover of a magazine. I'm not the killer that little girls call their hero.

(Yelena walks out as the cashier looks at them.)

(Y/N): Oh, I know what you're thinking. But, they're not actually "trained killers", [chuckles] they're...actresses practicing a scene. Yeah...

(Y/N leans close to Natasha's ear.)

(Y/N): [whispering] We should go.

(It's night as we cut to Yelena & Y/N sitting at a table, waiting for Natasha to come back.)

(Y/N): *offers his hand for a handshake* (Y/N) Maximoff.

Yelena: *just stares at (Y/N)*

(Y/N): *pulls back his hand* Rude.

Yelena: They call you the Wolverine, right?

(Y/N): Right.

Yelena: Why is that? Can you turn into a wolverine or something?

(Y/N): What the hell--No. It's because of my claws.

Yelena: That's it?

(Y/N): I'm also ferocious when I fight.

Yelena: Hence, that makes you a wolverine...?

(Y/N): [sighs] It's just something my sister calls me, okay? I don't even know why I'm telling you that.

Yelena: I guess I can see why Natasha likes you so much. You're cute when you're flustered.

(Y/N): [chuckles] Thanks.

Yelena: So, after hearing how she got out, does it change the way you see her?

(Y/N): No, it doesn't. We've all done things we aren't proud of, me included. Now, does that mean we're all saints? Of course not. But what Natasha did, does not make her a sinner.

Yelena: [groans] You have a way with words.

(Yelena pours some alcohol on the cut on her arm as Natasha arrives & sits next to Y/N.)

Yelena: [winces] That gas, the counteragent, it was synthesized in secret by an older widow from Melina's generation. I was on the mission to retrieve it, and she exposed me and I killed the widow that freed me.

Natasha: Did you have a choice?

Yelena: What you experienced was pyschologoical conditioning. I'm talking about chemically altering brain functions. They're two completely different things. You're fully conscious, but you don't know which part is you. I'm still not sure.

(Natasha walks over to Yelena & sits next to her.)

Natasha: Is that all that's left?

Yelena: Mmm-hmm.

(Y/N): Shocker.

Yelena: It's the only thing that can stop Dreykov and his network of widows.

(Natasha blows on Yelena's cut.)

Yelena: He takes more everyday. Children who don't have anyone to protect them. Just like us when we were small. Maybe one in 20 survive the training, becomes a widow. The rest, he kills.

(Y/N): [whispers] Whoa.

Yelena: To him, we are just things. Weapons with no faces that he can just throw away. Because there is always more. No one's even looking for him thanks to you and Alexei.

Natasha: Alexei?

Yelena: [chuckles dryly] "Dad."

(Y/N): Dad?

Yelena: Wow, you haven't told him anything have you?

Natasha: I would've told him eventually.

(Natasha walks back over & sits next to Y/N.)

Yelena: Did you ever find your birth parents? Your real ones?

(Natasha slowly grabs Y/N's hand & he grabs her hand back.)

Natasha: Well, my mom abandoned me in the street like garbage. What about you?

Yelena: They destroyed my birth certificate, so I reinvented it. My parents live in Ohio. My sister moved out west.

Natasha: Is that right?

(Y/N): Sounds nice.

Yelena: You're a science teacher. You're working part-time, though, especially after you had your son.

(Yelena looks at Y/N.)

Yelena: Your husband, he renovates houses.

(Y/N): Ha, wouldn't that be something.

Natasha: That is not my story.

Yelena: [chuckles] What is your story?

Natasha: I never let myself be alone long enough to think about it. But, one thing I know for sure is that...

(Natasha looks at Y/N.)

Natasha: He's in every chapter that matters.

Yelena: Did you ever wish for kids? Or in your case, kits?

Natasha: Kits?

(Y/N): Baby wolverines are called kits. Hilarious.

(Yelena reaches over the table & puts on her jacket.)

Yelena: I want a dog. It looks like you got a dog before me.

(Y/N): I know you're not referring to me as a dog, right?

Yelena: Keep up that tone and you won't get any head pats.

(Y/N): I'm not a fucking dog.

(Natasha starts rubbing Y/N's back.)

Natasha: Where you gonna go?

Yelena: I don't know. I don't have anywhere to go back to, so I guess anywhere.

(Natasha moves up.)

Yelena: Don't.

Natasha: Don't what?

Yelena: [chuckles] You're going to give me some big hero speech, I can feel it. I know (Y/N) is chomping at the bits to hear it.

Natasha: Speeches aren't really my thing.

(Y/N): That's the boy scout's thing.

Yelena: Huh.

Natasha: It was more like an invitation.

Yelena: To go to the Red Room and kill Dreykov?

Natasha: Yeah.

Yelena: Even though the Red Room is impossible to find and Dreykov is too slippery to kill?

Natasha: Yeah.

Yelena: That sounds like a shitload of work.

Natasha: Yup. [sighs] Could be fun, though.

Yelena: Yup.

Natasha: I saw where he put the keys.

Yelena: Top drawer, green cabinet.

(Y/N): I love it when a plan comes together.

(Cut to the trio driving down a road with Y/N in the backseat.)

Yelena: You know, this is the first piece of clothing I've ever bought for myself.

Natasha: That?

(Y/N): Cool.

Yelena: Yeah, it is cool, (Y/N). You don't like it?

Natasha: Is it an army surplus, or...

Yelena: Okay, it has a lot of pockets.

Natasha: [chuckles]

Yelena: But I use them all the time, and I made some of my own modifications.

Natasha: [scoffs] Oh, yeah?

Yelena: Whatever. Shut up. The point is, I've never...I've never had control over my own life before, and now I do. I want to do things.

Natasha: Hmm...I like your vest.

Yelena: I knew it. I knew (Y/N) wasn't the only one who thought it was cool.

(Y/N): [chuckles]

Natasha: It's good. Yes. I like it.

Yelena: And you can put so much stuff in there. You wouldn't even know. I really don't know where the Red Room is, though. I'm sorry.

Natasha: I know. But I think I might know somebody who does.

Yelena: Oh, yeah? Who?

Natasha: We're gonna need a jet.

(Y/N): Sweet.

(Cut to the trio walking onto an empty field.)

Natasha: I said we needed a jet.

(Rick walks out of an old Russian helicopter.)

Rick: Yeah, you know what you didn't give me? Time? Or money. I'm not made out of jets.

Yelena: I thought you were supposed to be the best. Like a real pro.

(Y/N): I bet your competition is kicking your ass, bub.

Rick: Oh, I beg your pardons, tsarnia, tsar. Was the free flat and lifetime supply of kissel not to your liking? Was your first class flight not to your standards?

Yelena: Ha!

(Y/N): I would've been fine with coach.

Natasha: Don't let them wind you up.

Nick: No, I take exception to impugning my professionalism.

Natasha: Well, you did set me and (Y/N) up with a generator that crapped out after six hours.

Nick: You too, huh? Triple threat.

Yelena: Aw, he's sensitive like (Y/N). See why you keep him around.

(Y/N): I'm not sensitive.

Natasha: Where's the rest?

(Rick takes a bag out of the helicopter.)

Nick: Voilà.

(Yelena takes a granola bar out of the bag.)

Yelena: Ooh.

Natasha: I stashed that like five years ago.

(Yelena opens the granola bar & takes a bite out of it.)

(Y/N): You take a bite out of it anyway.

Natasha: How is it?

Yelena: It's dry. It's really dry.

(Y/N): What were you expecting?

(Yelena walks onto the helicopter & Y/N follows her.)

Nick: You know, you're getting dangerously close to running out your tab. Supplies I can tally, but you bring me attention from the authorities, all my prices go up.

Natasha: What's that supposed to mean?

Nick: Your mate, Secretary Ross, has been sniffing around my affairs to the point at which I've got contacts declining my calls. I'm a private contractor.

Natasha: You are sensitive.

Nick: You're a very annoying individual.

Natasha: I'll make it up to you.

Nick: I bet you say that to (Y/N) all the time.

(Natasha walks onto the helicopter as Nick closes the door. Cut to Alexei after receiving his mail. He pulls the string on the Red Guardian action figure & it's head pops off, revealing a communicator which he places in his ear.)

Natasha: Today's your lucky day, Alexei.

(Yelena shows Natasha a 3D model of the prison.)

Natasha: Move to the door on the south wall where my associate is waiting for you.

Alexei: Associate?

Yelena: Her boyfriend.

Alexei: You have a boyfriend?

Natasha: Yes, focus on that and not escaping.

(Alexei takes out the guards that handed him his mail.)

Natasha: Go left. Don't make a scene.

(Alexei goes left to see Y/N in a guard's uniform, waiting for as the door opens.)

(Y/N): *waves*

(Y/N's thoughts): So, this is Natasha's adoptive father.

(An alarm goes off as the prisoners notice the Red Guardian making his escape. Y/N turns around to see riot gear guards coming for him.)

(Y/N): [sighs]

*SKINT*

(Y/N pops his claws & starts slashing the guards as Alexei joins him in taking out the guards. Alexei is even able to join the door with one of the riot shields to prevent the other prisoners from following them. The two run away from the jammed door with prisoners behind it.)

Alexei: Rosomakha.

(Rosomakha is "wolverine" in Russian.)

(Y/N): What did she just tell you?

Natasha: You caused a scene, didn't you?

(Cut to Alexei & Y/N outside, in the middle of the prison.)

Alexei: What now?

Natasha: (ON RADIO) We're gettin' you out of here.

(Natasha hovers the helicopter over them as prisoners begin to rush Y/N & Alexei, the prison guards begin to rush out as well.)

(Y/N): Nat!

Natasha: Go to the upper level.

(They begin to make their wall to the upper level.)

*SKINT*

(Y/N): [yells]

(Y/N pops his claws, leaps at the wall, & stabs into it with his claws.)

Natasha: Move your ass, super soldier.

(Alexei does the same & is now beside Y/N. A guard appears in front of them & tazes Alexei causing Y/N to cut the guards arm off.)

Alexei: [grunts]

Guard: [screams]

(Alexei starts to fall off the wall but Y/N catches him.)

(Y/N): I...[strained] gotcha...

(Y/N tries to pull Alexei up.)

(Y/N): [strained growling]

(Y/N but he's unable to, resulting in both of them falling to the ground.)

Alexei & (Y/N): [groans]

(Y/N): You're heavy.

Yelena: They're never going to make it.

Natasha: Get me closer. You got a better idea?

(Alexei & Y/N look up at the helicopter.)

Alexei: Natasha...

(Y/N): God, I love her.

(Natasha slides a rope as Yelena gets her closer. Once she's close enough, Natasha lands on a bridge with some guards.)

Yelena: Such a poser.

(Natasha starts taking out the guards on the bridge with her as other guards fire upon the helicopter. A mounted gun begins firing upon the helicopter causing Yelena to fire a rocket at it.)

Yelena: Ha!

(Unfortunately...)

Yelena: Whoa...

(The soundwave from the explosion causes an avalanche heading straight towards them.)

Yelena: This would be a cool way to die.

(Y/N): Being smothered to death by snow would totally be a cool way to die.

Yelena: This coming from the guy who literally can't be killed.

Alexei: Tell me that's a good sign for us!

Natasha: Move your ass, both of you!

(The prisoners in horror as the avalanche comes towards them as Alexei & Y/N make their way. Prisoners & guards run back inside the prison.)

Natasha: Get us out of here!

(Yelena maneuvers the helicopter as Alexei & Y/N make their up as Natasha hangs back onto the rope that got her down. The avalanche is about to engulf Alexei & Y/N, but before it can, Natasha grabs Alexei who grabs Y/N, & Yelena flies away with all three of them hanging below.)

Yelena: Yes!

(Cut to the trio crawling into the helicopter.)

(Y/N): [panting] Thanks for the save.

Natasha: [sighs] What would you do without me?

Alexei: [coughs]

Yelena: I need some help up here.

(Natasha rejoins Yelena at helicopter controls as Alexei shouts out of the helicopter.)

Alexei: *TRANSLATED FROM RUSSIAN* Farewell, douchebags! (IN ENGLISH) Oh, that was exciting.

(Y/N): That's one way of putting it.

Alexei: [breathing heavily] Oh, I'm so proud of you girls. [loudly] Oh, you can't hear me, huh?

(Y/N): *raises an eyebrow at Alexei*

(Alexei puts on a headset.)

Alexei: Wow.

*PUNCH*

(Yelena punches Alexei in the face.)

Alexei: Why the aggression, huh? Is it your time of the month?

(Y/N): Why do you automatically assume that's why she hit you?

Yelena: I don't get my period, dipshit. I don't have a uterus.

Natasha: Or ovaries.

Yelena: Yeah. That's what happens when the Red Room gives you an involuntary hysterectomy. They kind of just go in and rip out all of your reproductive organs. They just get right in there and they chop them all away. Everything out, so you can't have babies.

(Alexei sits down.)

Alexei: Okay, okay. Okay! Okay! You don't have to get so clinical and nasty.

(Y/N): Thanks for putting those images into my head.

Yelena: Oh, well, I was about to talk about fallopian tubes.

Alexei: No. It means so much to me that you came back for me. You even wooed the Wolverine in order to assist you.

(Y/N): [scoffs]

Natasha: No. No. You're gonna tell us how to get to the Red Room.

Alexei: Huh. Whoa, look at you, huh? All business.

Natasha: Trust me, this isn't pleasure.

Alexei: Little Natasha, all indoctrinated into the Western agenda.

Natasha: I chose to go west to become an Avenger. 'Cause they treated me like family.

Alexei: Really? Family? Well, where are they now? Where is that family now?

(Y/N puts on a headset.)

(Y/N): *snaps his fingers* Are you blind?

Alexei: Ah, okay. The Wolverine is your family.

(Alexei looks at Y/N.)

Alexei: Listen, she is not your family. Don't you already have a family? I mean, your brother's dead. But how is that sister of yours?

*PUNCH*

(Y/N punches Alexei in the face.)

Alexei: [groans] All right.

Natasha: Tell me where the Red Room is.

Alexei: I have no idea.

Yelena: [scoffs]

Alexei: Okay?

(Natasha gets up, takes off her headset, walks over to Alexei, takes off his headset, & sits across from him.)

Natasha: Come on. You and Dreykov were like...

Alexei: Dreykov?

(Alexei goes off on a tangent about how he & Dreykov fell out.)

Dreykov: I'm not even the one who, uh, you know...I'm not the one who killed his daughter.

Yelena: Can we throw him out the window now?

*SLOW SKINT*

(Y/N pops three of claws.)

(Y/N): In pieces.

Natasha: I think we should wait til we get to a higher altitude.

Yelena: All right.

Alexei: *TRANSLATED FROM RUSSIAN* Why not ask Melina where it is?

Yelena: Wait, Mom Melina?

Natasha: We thought she was dead.

(Y/N): Of course your adoptive mother is alive.

Alexei: [scoffs] You cannot kill a fox that swift.

Natasha: Ew.

Alexei: What? She was the scientist, the strategist. I was the muscle. She worked directly for Dreykov far more than I ever did.

Natasha: Wait. Are you telling me that Melina is working for the Red Room present day?

Alexei: She works remotely outside St. Petersburg.

Yelena: [scoffs] Uh...I don't think we have enough fuel for St. Petersburg.

Alexei: No, we're good. We'll make it.

Yelena: Okay.

(Cut to the helicopter falling to ground. The four of them walk out of the helicopter & Y/N is now in his suit.)

Alexei: You should've brought the Avengers' superjet.

(Natasha, Yelena, & Y/N walk away from him.)

Yelena: I swear, if I hear one more word from him, I will kick him in the face.

Natasha: [softly] He's the worst.

Yelena: (Y/N), think you could cut out his tongue?

Natasha: Yeah, killer.

(Y/N): Just say the word.

(Alexei calls Natasha over to talk about...)

Alexei: Captain America. My great adversary in this theater of geopolitical conflict. Not so much a nemesis. More like a contemporary, you know? Coequal. I always thought there was a great deal of mutual respect.

Natasha: You haven't seen either one of us in 20 years and you're gonna ask me about you?

(Yelena & Y/N stop walking & look back at what's going on.)

Alexei: What is with this tension? Did I do something wrong?

(Y/N): Yes!

Yelena: Is that a serious question?

Alexei: I only ever loved you girls. I did my best to make sure you would achieve your fullest potential, and everything worked out.

Natasha: Everything worked out?

Alexei: Yes. For you, yes. We accomplished our mission in Ohio. Yelena, you went on to become the greatest child assassin the world has ever known.

(Alexei walks up to Yelena.)

Alexei: No one can match your efficiency, your ruthlessness.

(Alexei turns & walks up to Natasha.)

Alexei: And Natasha, not just a spy, not just toppling regimes, destroying empires from within, but an Avenger. You even have the Wolverine under your thumb.

(Y/N): I am not under-

Alexei: You both have killed so many people. Your ledgers must be dripping, gushing red. I couldn't be more proud of you.

(Y/N): And father of the year goes to...

(Alexei pulls them both in for a hug but they both push him off.)

Natasha: [scoffs]

Yelena: Okay. You can...No. Let me go now. You smell really bad.

(Cut to the four walking down a dirt road.)

Yelena: So, are we there yet?

Alexei: You'll know when we're there. [snorting]

(Y/N): The hell?

(Cut to the four meeting Melina outside her gate.)

Alexei: Honey, we're home.

(Y/N): Hi, I'm-

Melina: (Y/N) Maximoff. The Rosomakha.

(Melina walks past them.)

(Y/N): She already knows who I am.

(They follow her into her home.)

Melina: Welcome to my humble abode. Make yourself at home. Let's have a drink. [sighs]

(Y/N): This place is...quaint.

Natasha: Hey, no funny business.

Melina: I'm putting away my weapon.

(Yelena sits at the table while Alexei is in the bathroom.)

Natasha: Are there any booby traps around here? Anything we need to know about?

Melina: I didn't raise my girls to fall in traps. And I don't think I could pull one over on your boyfriend.

(Y/N): Heh, good to know.

Natasha: You didn't raise us at all.

Melina: Oh, maybe so. But if you got soft, it wasn't on my watch.

(Melina looks at Y/N.)

(Y/N): Why are you looking at me?

(Yelena, Melina, & Natasha are sitting at the table while Y/N is sitting on the couch, all waiting for Alexei to exit the bathroom. The reason why he's taking so long is because he's putting on his Red Guardian suit.)

Melina: Let's drink.

(As Melina is pouring vodka in cups, she looks up to see that Y/N isn't sitting next to Natasha so she turns to face him.)

Melina: Why are you on the couch?

(Y/N): Uh, I just thought...

Melina: Yerunda.

(Yerunda is "nonsense" in Russian.)

Melina: You're dating my daughter, aren't you? That makes you family. Now, come sit next to her and drink with us.

(Y/N & Natasha lock eyes.)

Natasha: [sighs] Come on, killer.

(Y/N gets up from the couch, walks to the table, & sits next to Natasha. Shortly after that, Alexei finally exits the bathroom wearing his Red Guardian suit.)

Alexei: [clears his throat]

(Melina & Yelena turn back as Natasha & Y/N stare at...)

Melina: [wolf whistles]

Yelena: Oh, my god.

Melina: [laughing] I never washed it once. Come and drink.

(Alexei sits at the head on the table.)

(Y/N): [gags] It definitely smells like that.

Alexei: Family back together again. And it's expanding.

(Y/N): *takes a shot* Ugh, not bad.

Melina: Seeing as our family construct was just a calculated ruse that only lasted three years, I don't think that we can use this term anymore, can we?

Natasha: Agreed. So, here's what's going to happen.

Alexei: Okay. A reunion then, huh?

(Y/N): Yeah, that's better.

Alexei: And, uh...I want to say something right off the bat. You haven't aged a day, huh? You're just as beautiful and as supple as the day they staged our marriage.

Melina: You got fat. But still good.

(Y/N): Is that going to be us?

Natasha: I hope not.

Alexei: [chuckles] I just got out of prison. I, uh...I have a lot of energy.

Melina: Oh!

Natasha: Please don't do that.

(Y/N): I'm looking into the future...

Natasha: So, here's what's going to happen.

Melina: Natasha, don't slouch.

Natasha: I'm not slouching.

Melina: Yes, yes, you are.

Natasha: I don't slouch.

Melina: You're going to get a back hunch and (Y/N) won't love you anymore.

(Y/N): I'd still love her with a back hunch.

Alexei: Listen to your mother.

Natasha: Oh, my God, this...

Alexei: Up, up.

Natasha: All right, enough, all of you.

Yelena: That's not fair.

Natasha: Here's what's gonna happen...

Yelena: I don't want any food.

Melina: Eat a little something, Yelena, for God's sake.

Natasha: You're gonna tell us the location of the Red Room.

Melina: [inhales sharply] You know, it's like when you told them that they could stay up late to catch Santa Claus.

Alexei: What? That was fun. You know, "He come down the chimney, girls. Look out. Where is he?" You wait for him, and then when the cookies are gone, then you see he's there. No, no. What? I want them to follow their dreams.

Melina: No good.

Alexei: Reach for the stars, girls.

(Y/N): That's insulting.

Natasha: Finding Dreykov is not a fantasy. It's unfinished business.

Melina: You can't defeat a man who commands the very will of others. You never saw the culmination of what we started in America. Nor did you.

Alexei: Natasha, always focus, focus. Get what you want.

(Melina gets a tablet & calls one of her pigs.)

Natasha: Did that pig just open the door?

Melina: Yes. It did. Good boy, Alexei. Good boy.

Alexei: You named a pig after me?

Melina: You don't see the resemblance? See, he sits just like dog.

(Yelena looks at Y/N.)

(Y/N): Get that stupid look off your face.

(Melina tells the pig to stop breathing which it does. She then goes onto to explain how the science of it all works.)

Natasha: What are you doing?

Melina: Oh, I am explaining that the science is now exact, the subject can be instructed to stop breathing and has no choice but to obey.

Natasha: Okay, you made your point. That's enough.

(Y/N): Yeah, let the pig breathe now, please.

Melina: Aw, you care about animals. Yes, all right. Well, don't worry, Alexei could've survived 11 more seconds without oxygen.

(Melina lets the pig breathe again & tells it to leave.)

Melina: The world functions on a higher level when it's controlled. Dreykov has chemically subjugated agents planted around the globe.

Yelena: Do you know who they test it on?

Melina: Hmm...No. That's not my department.

Alexei: Ah, come on, come on. Don't lie to them. Hmm?

Melina: I'm not lying.

Alexei: You're Dreykov's architect, huh?

Melina: What were you? If I was his architect, you were his partner. You were his business partner.

(Alexei & Melina get into a little argument.)

Natasha: Shut up! You're an idiot. And you're a coward. You're a coward. And our family was never real, so there's nothing to hold on too. We're moving on.

(Y/N): Oh, man...

Alexei: Never family, huh? In my heart, I am simple man. And I think that for a couple deep undercover Russian agents I think we did a pretty great as parents, huh?

Melina: Yes, we had our orders, and we played our roles to perfection.

Natasha: Who cares? That wasn't real.

Yelena: What?

Natasha: That wasn't real. Who cares?

Yelena: Don't say that. Please don't say that. It was real. It was real to me. You are my mother. You were my real mother. The closest thing I ever had to one. The best part of my life was fake. [exhales deeply] And none of you told me.

(Yelena hits the table softly.)

Yelena: And those agents you chemically subjugated around the globe? That was me. Mmm.

(Yelena looks at Natasha & Y/N.)

Yelena: And you, you got out. Fell in love. Dreykov made sure no one could escape. Are you gonna say anything?

(Natasha & Y/N stay silent.)

Yelena: No. Don't touch me.

(Yelena gets up from the table, takes the vodka, & walks away from the table.)

Natasha: Yelena.

Yelena: No.

(Yelena walks into the opposite room.)

Melina: I had no idea.

Alexei: It's okay, it's okay. I'll go talk to her.

(Alexei leaves to go talk to Yelena.)

Natasha: Killer, do you think you could give us a moment?

(Y/N): Yeah, I'll be out front.

(Y/N kisses her head, gets up from the table, & walks out to the porch.)

Melina: "Killer."

Natasha: Don't. Only I can call him that.

(Natasha & Melina talk where she reveals that Natasha wasn't abandoned. They even look at their old family album together. Melina unfortunately tells Natasha that she alerted the Red Room & that they'll be here any minute. Alexei & Yelena begin to bond but before it gets any further, Red Room soldiers arrive & fire tranquilizers into Alexei, knocking him out. Yelena exits the room to see Natasha knocked out as well. She turns to face Melina.)

Melina: I'm sorry.

(She fires something that immobilizes Yelena. Taskmaster appears in front of Melina.)

Melina: Let's not keep him waiting.

Moments Before With (Y/N) On The Porch...

(Y/N): [sighs] That could've gone better. Then again, considering who they all are, I'm surprised they didn't just kill each other. I didn't contribute to the conversation but that was because I didn't know if I should or not. Alexei says I'm part of the family. But am I? [groans] Natasha sees me as family so I guess I am. And I only really need her approval anyway. [sniffs] What is that?

(Y/N smells something coming their way as aircrafts hover above the house.)

(Y/N): [growls]

(Red Room soldiers come out of the darkness & charge the house.)

(Y/N): [snarls] Let's do this!

*SKINT*

(Y/N) pops his claws. He takes a step forward as the soldiers fire the same tranquilizers they used on Alexei into his chest.)

(Y/N): Ug...ugh...[yells]

(Y/N's hit with two more tranquilizers that hit each side of his neck that drop him. Cut to everyone on an aircraft.)

Melina: Request clearance for landing.

Alexei: Melina?

(Melina looks back at Alexei.)

Melina: We're touching down in one minute.

Alexei: Then why are we still going up?

Melina: Now you know how Dreykov stayed above the radar all these years.

(Alexei is sedated just as Y/N regains consciousness.)

(Y/N): [groans] Natasha?

(Y/N looks over to see Natasha & Yelena side by side on the ground.)

(Y/N): Natasha!

(Melina looks back at Y/N.)

Melina: Oh, you're awake too.

(Y/N): You traitorous bitch! I'm going to shove my claws so far up your-

(Y/N gets sedated before he can finish his sentence.)

Red Room

(Cut to Melina talking to Dreykov.)

Dreykov: So, uh, how was the family reunion?

Melina: Oh, it was awful. They were clingy, and too emotional, and needy. Don't even get me started on the Wolverine.

Dreykov: [chuckles] Just like old times.

Melina: Hmm.

Dreykov: Yelena Belova. What's the deal with her? She was the only one affected, right?

Melina: As far as I know, yes.

Dreykov: These gasses and antidotes, it's a pain in my ass. It's a problem. You need to sort it.

Melina: Hmm. I have nine pigs that will require attending to in my absence.

Dreykov: Don't give a shit about your pigs.

(Dreykov sits Melina down.)

Dreykov: Cut her brain out...Hmm? Identify the weakness.

Melina: And the Wolverine?

Dreykov: Same thing. His adamantium skeleton and healing factor may give us trouble but we'll get...creative.

(Cut to Yelena & Y/N in a medical room. She's strapped down onto a board while he's strapped to a wall.)

Yelena: This is a much less cool way to die.

(Y/N): You guys are wasting your time. I'm unbreakable.

(Cut to Alexei & Natasha in cells. Cut back to Melina & Dreykov still having a conversation.)

Melina: What about Romanoff?

Dreykov: She's a traitor. She turned her back on her people. On her blood. She had nothing. I gave her home. I gave her love. Put that thing in her you do. You know, uh, chemicals. Turn her into one of your pigs. Can you imagine what I could do with two Avengers under my control? Even if we're unable to get to Wolverine's brain, I'm sure he'll obey me once we threaten to kill the woman he loves.

Melina: Wouldn't you like to speak with her?

Dreykov: When you look into the eyes of a child you have raised, no mask in the world can hide that.

(Dreykov deactivates the mask & takes it off revealing Natasha.)

Dreykov: Welcome home.

(Taskmaster pulls out a gun & aims it at Natasha.)

Dreykov: Now, now. Don't go breaking my new toy.

(Cut to Alexei pouring his heart out to Natasha who opens his cell door. She takes off her mask revealing Melina.)

Alexei: I bared my soul to you and it was just you the whole time?

Melina: Yes, I'm afraid so. But wait, shh, I'm on comms with Yelena & (Y/N). Yelena, it's me. It's mama.

(Cut to Yelena & Y/N.)

Melina: You have a two inch blade concealed in your beltline.

(Y/N): Oh, man. I said some real nasty things to Natasha.

Melina: I'm sure you did.

Yelena: What?

(The doctors look at Yelena.)

Yelena: What are you going to do to me?

(Y/N): Nice save.

Melina: Outside right hip.

(Yelena cuts herself free & kills the doctors. Yelena walks over to Y/N & cuts him free.)

(Y/N): *rubs his wrists* Thanks.

Yelena: Don't mention it.

(Yelena puts on her jacket as Y/N walks beside her.)

Yelena: You couldn't have told us sooner?

Melina: Don't throw a fit. There wasn't time.

(Y/N): [sniffs] Okay, I've got Natasha's scent. I'm gonna go to her.

Melina: According to plan.

(Y/N): Really? Okay then.

Yelena: Wait, you have Natasha's scent?

(Y/N): Yes? I have yours too.

Yelena: So you're telling me if I was on the opposite side of this place, you'd be able to sniff me out?

(Y/N): Yeah, pretty much.

Yelena: That's so cool.

(Y/N): Heh.

Yelena: Are you sure you're not a dog?

(Y/N): Dogs aren't the only animals with a good sense of smell...[sighs] You're hopeless.

(Y/N leaves to go find Natasha.)

Yelena: Where did he take the vials?

Melina: Probably down to cold storage. Dreykov still has the widows under his control, so you have to expose them to the antidote.

Yelena: Yeah. Sure. Easy.

(Cut to Natasha & Dreykov after he told her "mother's name" & where she was buried.)

Natasha: You don't feel anything. You feel anything when I killed your daughter?

Dreykov: Is this your haunted past? Really? [laughing] Thank you, Natasha. You gave me my greatest weapon.

(Dreykov walks over to Taskmaster.)

Dreykov: Say hello.

(Taskmaster takes his helmet revealing to be Draykov's daughter.)

Dreykov: When your bomb exploded, it nearly killed my Antonia. I had to put a chip in the back of her neck. In the back of her neck. Look at her. You find it difficult to look at her? I do. She...She watches everything and she can do it. She's a perfect mimic. And she fights like all of your friends.

Natasha: Can she hear me?

Dreykov: What? You want to make her feel better? You want to say you're sorry? Well, you should've thought about that before you blew her face off. But enough of this bullshit. Go to work. I have rats in the basement. Go.

(Antonia puts her helmet back on & leaves the room. Cut to Y/N in a hallway, taking his claws out of a guard's chest.)

Wolverine: You know...

(Y/N looks behind him to see all of the previous guards' dead bodies.)

Wolverine: What is the point of having all of these guards if you have a bunch of widows here at your disposal?

(Taskmaster turns the corner & is standing across from Y/N.)

Wolverine: Oh, you again. I wonder how hard it's going to complete your tasks after I cut off your arms!

Taskmaster: ...

Wolverine: *wipes the blood of his claws* [snarls lightly]

(Taskmaster charges at Y/N & of course, Y/N charges back. The two meet in the middle, Taskmaster gets the upper hand, picks Y/N up...)

Wolverine: [grunts]

(Taskmaster charges into an open elevator with Y/N.)

*THUD*

Wolverine: [snarls]

(Y/N attempts to stab Taskmaster but she dodges & Y/N's claws stab into one of the elevator's walls. She takes this opportunity to rapidly punch Y/N in the stomach.)

Wolverine: [grunts]

(Taskmaster looks at Y/N, who headbutts her, slightly cracking her helmet.)

Taskmaster: ...

(Cut to Alexei & Melina.)

Alexei: Come on, now. If we're just going to press buttons and hack computers...

Melina: Yes.

Alexei: I mean, I don't know. There's nothing for me to do.

(As they're talking, Taskmaster & Y/N arrive on their floor. She kicks Y/N out of the elevator.)

Wolverine: [growls] Bitch.

Alexei: I want to...I want to break something.

(Taskmaster tosses Y/N at Alexei & Melina's feet.)

Melina: Oh, there is something you can break.

Wolverine: Alexei. Melina.

Alexei: [chuckles]

(Alexei puts his helmet on, Y/N gets up, & Melina enters the room behind them.)

Alexei: Melina, if this is the last time we...

Wolverine: Yeah, she's gone, bub. Sorry.

Alexei: Ah, damn it.

*SKINT*

(Y/N pops his claws as Alexei gets ready, as does Taskmaster.)

Wolverine: How about the Red Guardian and the Wolverine team up on this one?

Red Guardian: [sighs happily] Nothing would make me happier.

(Cut to Yelena landing after some guards have gone by.)

(Cut back to Alexei & Y/N fighting Taskmaster where she clawed out Y/N's eyes.)

Wolverine: [shouts]

(Y/N grabs his face as Taskmaster kicks Alexei in the chest.)

Red Guardian: [grunts]

(Taskmaster throws her shield at Alexei who catches it & throws it back to her. She dodges it as Alexei catches her punch. Y/N...)

Wolverine: [strained shouting]

(Y/N is on his knees as his eyes slowly grow back.)

Wolverine: *rubs her eyes* I can see clearly.

(Y/N gets up & tackles Taskmaster through a glass door & is now trying to stab her in the face as she desperately holds his wrist back.)

Wolverine: [snarls determinedly]

(Taskmaster flips him over into some cabinets.)

Wolverine: [grunts]

(Taskmaster throws a knife that almost hits Y/N's crouch.)

Wolverine: I would've healed from that but still rather not go through the process of it.

(Suddenly, Alexei puts Taskmaster into a Full Nelson.)

Red Guardian: Go! Find Natasha!

Wolverine: Ah!

(Y/N stabs Taskmaster in the leg.)

Taskmaster: [screams]

(Y/N runs off to find Natasha.)

Wolverine: That scream sounded femine.

(Cut to Natasha & Dreykov after the flashback between her & Melina.)

Natasha: You weren't quite strong enough and (Y/N) isn't here yet. I don't think he'd hit me even if I asked him to, so...I'll finish it myself.

Dreykov: [chuckles] What are you going to do?

(Natasha headbutts the desk.)

Natasha: Severing the nerve.

(Dreykov touches an alarm, Natasha punches him, & Y/N finally enters the room where Natasha is in.)

Wolverine: Sorry it took me so long.

Natasha: Better late than never.

(Y/N looks at her face & then at Dreykov.)

Wolverine: Did...did he do that to you?

Natasha: Uh? Oh, no. I did this myself. What would you have done if he did?

Wolverine: [chuckles] You don't want to know.

(Cut to Melina taking out one of the engines. Yelena goes to the widows but once she gets there, they're gone. Taskmaster is about to kill Alexei but Melina hurricanranas' her into a cell before she can. Cut back to Y/N, Natasha, & Dreykov.)

Natasha: Not so talkative now, are you?

(Natasha kicks Dreykov in the face.)

Wolverine: Looks like I missed quite a bit.

Natasha: You took my childhood. You took my choices and tried to break me. But you're never gonna do that to anybody ever again.

(Natasha's about to stab Dreykov, but before she can, the widows arrive & one of them hooks her away from Dreykov.)

Natasha: [screams]

Wolverine: Glupyye malen'kiye suchki.

(Glupyye malen'kiye suchki means "stupid little bitches" in Russian.)

(Dreykov walks by them & past the widows.)

Dreykov: Nobody leaves until they're dead. Make her suffer.

(Dreykov leaves.)

Natasha: We don't want to hurt you.

Wolverine: I do.

Natasha: [sighs] Not now, killer. You don't want to hurt us.

(The widows rush Natasha & Y/N, instantly separating them. Y/N tries to take them out non-lethally but they're too quick for him so they rapidly fire their red pulses into him, preventing him from moving.)

Wolverine: [strained] You're...really hindering me...

Natasha: I know. Sorry.

(A widow throws Natasha into Dreykov's desk, knees her in the face, & puts her into a choke hold as the others take turns hitting her.)

Wolverine: [strained growling]

(Before the widows can do any more damage to her, Yelena throws all of the vials into the room attached to a flashbang & it spreads the red gas around them reverting the widows back to normal. Y/N & Yelena run over to Natasha & help her up.)

Wolverine: Ah, Natasha...

Natasha: I'll be okay, killer.

Yelena: That looks like it hurts. Okay. I take out at three, ready?

(Yelena takes out the blade in Natasha without even counting.)

Yelena: I'm sorry.

(One of the widows asks Natasha what they do now.)

Natasha: Get as far away from here as possible. You get to make your own choices now.

(The Red Room explodes outside.)

Natasha: We gotta get out of here.

Yelena: We need to find Dreykov. Are you coming?

Natasha: We're right behind you.

(Cut to some guards escorting Dreykov where he realizes he doesn't have his ring on. Cut to Y/N with Natasha where she's transferring the widow's locations onto a drive.)

Wolverine: I've got your nose.

*CRACK*

(Y/N pops Natasha's nose back into place.)

Natasha: We're even.

Wolverine: [chuckles] Yeah, I guess we are.

(All of the widow's locations have been downloaded onto the file so Natasha & Y/N begin to make their escape. Melina is flying an aircraft with Alexei on board. Cut to Natasha & Y/N falling through the floors & landing in front of Taskmaster.)

Natasha: Antonia.

Wolverine: Who's Antonia?

Natasha: Dreykov's daughter.

Wolverine: The daughter you killed?

Natasha: Yes.

Wolverine: And she's Taskmaster now?

Natasha: Yes.

Wolverine: Now that is just stupid.

(Natasha walks up to the cell Antonia is in.)

Natasha: I'm gonna open the door. You're gonna come after us. It's okay. It's okay. I know you're still in there. And I'm not gonna leave you Okay.

Wolverine: I don't mean to rush, but...

(Natasha lets Antonia out of the cell. Before anything happens, they get separated by some falling debris. Cut to Natasha & Y/N watching Yelena chase Dreykov. She zips up to the roof where she takes out an engine causing the aircraft to explode, killing Dreykov. The explosion sends Yelena into the air & falling towards the ground below.)

Wolverine: Nat...

(Natasha runs, Y/N chases her, she grabs a parachute, & jumps off after Yelena.)

Wolverine: Shit! She's really going after Yelena. I don't blame her, if it was Wanda, I'd jump after her. She's got chute so she's fine, right?

(Y/N turns around to feel his throat get slashed by Antonia.)

Wolverine: [gurgles] Come...on...

(Antonia kicks Y/N off the Red Room. Cut to Y/N falling to the ground.)

Wolverine: [gurgles] This...

(Y/N's throat heals.)

Wolverine: ...is bullshit! I mean, I'll heal from the heal but [groans] it's going to be painful on impact. I just hope Nat's okay. Of course she'll be okay, I'll just sniff her out like always.

(Cut to Y/N healing from his fall.)

(Y/N): Ugh...Natasha!

(Y/N sniffs out Natasha & Yelena. He sees them talking so he slows down not to interrupt them.)

Natasha: *TRANSLATED FROM RUSSIAN* Forgive me, little sister. (IN ENGLISH) I should've came back for you.

Yelena: You don't have to say that. It's okay.

Natasha: Hey. Hey. It was real to me too.

(Y/N): [sighs] I miss Wanda.

(Natasha & Yelena notice Y/N.)

Natasha: You're okay.

(Y/N): You knew I'd be okay.

(Natasha kisses Y/N.)

Natasha: Yeah.

(The trio notice Alexei helping Melina walk & they meet in the middle.)

Natasha: Everybody good?

Melina: I am clearly injured.

Natasha: You got something to say?

Alexei: I'd just mess it up.

(Alexei & Natasha hold hands briefly.)

Natasha: Here comes the cavalry.

(Natasha walks forward & Y/N follows her.)

Melina: So, what's our plan?

Natasha: You guys go. (Y/N) and I will stay.

Alexei: That's insanity. We fight. We fight with you.

(Alexei, Melina, & Yelena try to convince her to let them stay.)

(Y/N): I see where you got your stubbornness.

Natasha: You guys, go.

Yelena: Oh, my God.

Natasha: Besides, if it can work out with the four of us, you know, there may be some hope for the Avengers. Little bit.

(Y/N): Yeah, little bit.

Yelena: Okay, well, if you're leaving, then I guess you should take this.

(Yelena takes off her jacket & gives it to Natasha.)

Yelena: I know how much you like it.

Natasha: Shucks. It does have a lot of pockets.

Yelena: Very handy pockets, yeah.

(Yelena pats Y/N's head.)

Yelena: Be a good boy and look after her.

(Y/N): Always. And still not a dog.

Natasha: He had widows implanted all over the world. Melina will need to copy the formula, but you should be the one to tell 'em it's over.

(Natasha hands Yelena a vial of the gas. They look back at an aircraft landing across from them. The freed widows walk out of it as Yelena walks up to them & they tell her that they couldn't leave her behind. They all say their goodbyes as Yelena & Natasha do their whistle. Y/N puts his arm over Natasha.)

(Y/N): I'm happy to be a part of your family.

Natasha: So am I.

2 Weeks Later

(Natasha & Rick are talking in front of the Quinjet he got for her.)

Natasha: You've always been a good friend to me.

Rick: That's what every man wants to hear.

Natasha: You're lucky (Y/N)'s not here to hear you say that. He gets jealous.

Rick: Where is your clawed counterpart anyway?

Natasha: I convinced him to go back to his job for now. I've gotten him into enough trouble already.

Rick: Where you gonna go?

Natasha: It's funny. My whole life, I didn't think I had a family. Turns out I got two, so...One of them's a bit of a mess right now. I'm gonna go break a few of them out of prison, see if I can't help patch things up. [sighs]

(Natasha walks towards the Quinjet, enters it, & flies off as the camera pans to some fireflies.)

After The Credits
Ohio

(Y/N & Natasha are sitting in chairs, on their cabin porch.)

Natasha: You're the best thing to ever happen to me.

(Y/N): I can say the same.

Natasha: Sometimes, I think this is all of a dream and I wonder when I'm going to wake up.

(Y/N): Well, I'm happy to report it's not.

Natasha: [chuckles] This is almost perfect.

(Y/N): Yeah--wait, almost?

Natasha: Yeah almost.

(Y/N thinks about this.)

(Y/N): Oh! [chuckles]

(A dog runs up to Y/N & places her head in his lap.)

(Y/N): Hello, Fanny. It'd be perfect if Laura still had your red hair, huh?

Natasha: [sighs] Yes.

(Y/N): She could dye her hair when she's older.

Natasha: Possibly.

(Y/N): Daken could even dye his hair when he's older.

Natasha: [chuckles] You know? I don't see that happening, killer.

(Natasha & Y/N look at their front yard. Pan over to Yelena playing with her black-haired niece & nephew.)

Yelena: Come on, show your aunt your claws.

*SKINT*

(Laura pops her claws.)

Laura: [yells]

Yelena: You too, Daken.

(Daken pops his claws.)

Daken: [yells]

Yelena: So terrifying. Don't tell your father but I think you have the better yell.

Laura: Of course I do.

Yelena: And Daken, your claw placement is way cooler than your father's.

Daken: That goes without saying.

(Yelena gets a phone call & she answers it.)

Yelena: Hello?

Valentina: How are the little monster?

Yelena: [groans]

(Yelena moves the phone to her shoulder.)

Yelena: Go to your parents.

Laura: Okay!

Daken: All right.

(Laura & Daken run off to her parents as Yelena stands up to continue the call. Before she does, she whistles at Natasha & she whistles back at her.)

Yelena: You're not supposed to be bothering me on my holiday time, Valentina.

Valentina: I don't know. Is a phone call considered to be "bothering" you?

Yelena: I want a raise.

Valentina: Oh, yeah. You and me both. Believe me, you're gonna earn it. I've got your next target. I thought about hand delivering it but to be honest, your brother in law scares me. Maybe you'd like a shot at the man who almost prevented your sister from having a child.

(Valentina sends Yelena the pic of the man & she looks at it.)

Valentina: Kind of a cutie, don't you think?

RayTheRipper: I will be doing "What If..." Now, I won't be doing all of them, only the ones where it would make sense for (Y/N) to be in it. I will also be doing some custom "What If..." chapters. If you have any ideas for some custom What If chapters then please tell me!
