While walking back from a mission Black Widow hears a gun
shot. She runs through the woods to check on the gunshot and finds a blood
trail.
She soon gets to Iosef’s cabin and
sees him bleeding out on the snow. Natasha tells Iosef that she’ll get a first
aid kit and help him recover. Iosef knows that this is the end of the line for
him. Natasha does not believe that as he helped lead her back to the
cabin. Iosef says he didn’t do that. Natasha quickly figures out that it
was Recluse and apologizes.
Iosef tells Natasha to stay strong
and close the door on the Dark Room business. He then passes away and she has a
moment of silence for him.
The moment is broken after Natasha
hears someone step on a twig nearby. She yells for the person to show
themselves.
Someone inside the cabin suddenly
yells out “Natasha, Run.”
Natasha goes inside and Recluse has
captured Winter Soldier (Bucky Barnes) and has tied him up to a chair.
Natasha asks Recluse what she is
after. Recluse says she is there for the one thing she was denied during their
time in the Red Room: true love. She goes on to say she isn’t after her true
love and then reveals that Bucky cares for someone else.
Natasha tells Bucky to get up. Bucky
apologizes and says he is off-mission now.
Recluse hits Bucky with her gun to
keep him quiet. She then says that Bucky has been acting as Natasha’s guardian
angel for a while now, something Natasha seems disappointed with.
Recluse is able to tell that from
Natasha’s reaction that she has no idea what her history with Bucky is. She
then says that she’ll be the only one to walk away alive tonight.
Natasha tells Recluse she made a
mistake leading her to Iosef’s cabin since she knows all of its secrets.
Natasha tells Bucky to duck and she shoots a bird statue. The statue opens a
door to secret room that Natasha takes Bucky in.
Natasha is able to use this time to
help Bucky break free from the seat he was tied to.
Recluse suddenly attacks Natasha
from behind. Natasha and Recluse begin fighting, with Bucky soon joining in.
Natasha and Bucky team-up to fight Recluse and they end up fighting in the
dark. As the fight keeps going Bucky is able to hit Recluse hard enough to
drive her through the cabin and into the outside.
Recluse recovers and starts running
back to the cabin. Natasha and Bucky decide to do a high and low attack, which
Bucky says they did back in the day.
Natasha and Bucky meet Recluse
outside and execute their plan of attack. They are initially successful but
Recluse is able to pin Natasha to the ground.
Bucky runs up to them and
clotheslines Recluse. As Bucky holds Recluse he tells Natasha to use her Widow
Sting. Recluse is able to break free from Bucky’s grasp just in time, leading to
Natasha using her Widow Sting on Bucky’s metal arm.
Recluse makes a run for it. Bucky
goes after her but Recluse ends up jumping off a nearby cliff into a river.
Natasha catches up to Bucky and
thanks him for his help with Recluse, who has clearly improved since last they
fought. Bucky states that they are a good team, if she remembers that.
Natasha then asks if it’s true that
Bucky has been watching her for a while now. Bucky is slow to answer. Natasha
tells Bucky that she does not need to be protected.
She then asks if there is more to
Bucky is up to. Bucky reveals that Nick Fury needs to talk to Natasha.
At Weeping Lion’s lair, Lion thanks
his cousin for his patience. He goes on to say that now that they have Black
Widow’s trust they can move on to the final stage of their plan.
Lion says they will work with her on
one last mission to distract her. Lion’s cousin silently hears this and Lion
says his cousin will have the chance to put his chess pieces into play.
Lion then asks the girls they have
imprisoned if they would like to get some fresh air. End of issue.
