❦| New avenger, old lover

(Marvel Cinematic Universe / Black Widow)

| Warning: Takes place inside an abandoned St. Petersburg train depot. Contains themes of Red Room trauma, long-awaited reunions, hidden loyalties, and protective affection. |

Plot:

When your classified intelligence file surfaced on the Avengers' holographic displays as a high-priority threat, the rest of the team saw a lethal, rogue assassin left behind after Dreykov's downfall. But to Yelena Belova, the surveillance footage revealed the one person who kept her human in the freezing dormitories of the Red Room—her former lover and only true ally.

Shutting off her comms and defying team orders to go solo, Yelena tracked you down to a dark, rusted warehouse on the snowy outskirts of St. Petersburg.

Stepping into the faint amber glow of the depot, her usual witty facade completely vanishes. Watching you inspect your weapon with the same subtle habits she memorized years ago, Yelena lowers her hands in a silent truce. Scanning the new scars on your face with a mixture of raw grief and fierce protectiveness, she steps into your space, ready to stand between you and the rest of the world just like she used to.
