The Shadows Behind the Widow | Natasha Romanoff x Reader

Chapter 1

Y/N shook hands with her employer after she had done what she were hired to do. He gave her the reward and she left back into the alleyways, keeping in her shadows.

As she walking through the alley, Y/N stopped when she heard a voice behind her. "Hello, Shadow."

Y/N quickly turned and came face-to-mask with the Avengers. She spoke, "Why, hello, Cappy."

He stood his ground with everyone behind him and in position. Y/N said, "Well, if it isn't the Earth's Whiniest Heroes. What do you want? I'm busy."

Stark spoke, "Oh, yeah, we know. Errands to run. Money to gain. The usual, is it?"

Y/N shrugged and tilted her head with a sly smile, "Exactly."

Thor spoke, "I apologize, Lady Shadow, but your errands must come to an end."

She rolled her eyes, "Really? That's the line you're going with?"

They all just stared at the Shadow, waiting for her to speak. Y/N soon grew bored and finally said, "Okay, this has been....fun...but I gotta split. Bye!"

She took off into the alley, quickly running away from them, leaving them behind. They charged after her.

Y/N saw Captain America gaining on her. She stopped and turned, waiting for him to catch up. He got close and got ready to punch.

Relies on upper body strength. Go for legs.

Y/N ducked down as he punched and swept his legs from under his feet. He fell and quickly got back up to his feet.

Ready for another low attack, go for face.

She punched at his face and he had no time to act. While the Captain was distracted, she punch him in the gut. He folded over and she kneed him in the face.

When he was out, she continued running. Y/N heard a sound above her and sighed, "Ugh. Here comes the billionaire."

He landed in front of her, "Come on, sweetheart. Just let me go home."

Shadow shrugged, speaking through her mask that muffled her voice a little, "Okay. Go home."

He chuckled, "Not what I meant." He then shot his repulsor rays at her. Y/N dodged them expertly and he stopped.

"Well, I meant it. I just wanna go to bed, man. I'm also hungry. Could you eat?" She responded. Tony blast at her and she dodged them again. She saw a shiny bit of material in the corner of her eye, the material would perfectly ricochet his rays.

Y/N smirked behind her mask and he said, "Yeah, I could eat. With you if you could, y'know, give up."

She stopped when Stark stopped blasting, "... Nah. Enjoy your trip."

He asked, "What trip?"

The Shadow ran to the wall, running up the concrete as soon as his rays shot the surface. The blast ricocheted and hit him. He crashed and she continued moving.

"At least they didn't bring the green idiot. He'd be a bit easier to dodge...kinda." Soon, she come in contact with the archer.

"Hey. Name's Hawkeye." He said.

"I'd say I didn't care, but it wouldn't be as much as the person who named you that. Hawkeye? Really?" She criticized, tilting her head.

He shot an arrow at her. "You missed." She scoffed, pointing to the arrow.

He said, "I never miss." She turned and saw a light beeping.

Avoid arrows. Don't get hit.

Y/N ducked and it exploded. She got back up as Hawkeye shot more exploding arrows. As he realized that she was too quick, he put it bow down. They both started combat. He went to punch her, trying to distract her from his actual blow.

Distractions and blocks. Latch on.

She gave him a knee to the head and he blocked it. As Hawkeye blocked, she took the opportunity to swing onto him, her legs wrapping around his neck and constricting. He tried slapping at her thighs to get her off, but the lack of oxygen was weakening him.

Hit his head. Knock him unconscious.

Y/N swung down, legs still wrapped around his neck, getting him to the ground. She moved on top of him, legs on either side of his body as she punched him forcefully in the head, knocking him out.

She ran again, getting away.

Y/N heard a bit of thunder rumble, despite there being no storm. She looked up. "Here comes Hammer Boy." Thor landed in front of her.

"Hello." Shadow greeted. He smiled and set his hammer down. "Fair fight. No hammer." She rolled your eyes and he got in position. "That's a bad idea." She commented.

Again, upper body. Stub toe, knife to gut. When he folds over, hit head on hammer.

He began to punch and she ducked, stepping hard on his foot and smashing his toes. He groaned and she pulled a knife from one of her side bags, stabbing him in the gut. Thor folded over and she tripped him. He fell and hit head on his hammer.

"Great." She tilted her head, getting a better view of his face as drool began to drop from his mouth. "He'll be fine." Y/N continued her escape. "One more left."

As she ran, she came in contact with the assassin. "Hello, Widow." Shadow chimed. She waved and put her arm up to shoot.

The famous Widows Bite. Avoid.

Y/N dodged all of her hits as she fired away. When she stopped firing, they both finally started hand to hand.

After a few punches that Y/N blocked and dodged, she were able to see what to do.

Skilled. Very skilled. Go for random attacks. Switch between arts.

Y/N kicked at her and she caught her foot. Shadow spun in the air and got Widow to the ground. She jumped back up and tried to hit Y/N quickly. Widow got her pinned down.

"You put up a good fight." Widow commented. She pulled down her mask and Y/N smiled at her. "You, too."

Y/N reached to her side to dig in her bag. She grabbed a mini grenade and brought the grenade up slowly.

Shadow were captivated in her green eyes, her plump lips, her rosy cheeks. They were mesmerizing. They both breathed semi-heavily as they regained their breaths. "Well, sorry. I have to cut this short."

Widow scoffed, "You think you're getting away? Not this time."

Y/N took out the pin, using her ring finger and showed the widow. "Oh, but you proposed!"

Shadow moved away from her and the bomb exploded. After a moment, Y/N could see through the light layer of smoke. Widow coughed and looked up at her.

Widow rushed over to grab the shadow. Y/N caught her and had her pinned to the ground. She looked into her beautiful eyes and Widow looked into hers.

Y/N then kissed her.

It was intended to be a short peck, until Widow kissed her back. Y/N felt a sort of freedom for just a moment, only a millisecond, before pulling away and saying, "Bye."

Y/N ran and took her escape while it still existed. She ran into the darkness of the night, into the very thing that got her the name, Shadow.
