    Summary

    Anyone who knows anyone knows that an invite to this party requires ruthlessness. Tenacity. Obscene wealth and a rise to power spectacular enough to attract the right kind of attention.

    Within this sea of masks, there isn't a single innocent dove in disguise.

    Summary

    When Laura asks her to pick up Lila after her ballet class, Natasha's gut reaction is to decline. She shifts her weight, averting her eyes. "I don't know."

    "Please," Laura insists, scrambling for her keys. She drops her phone to the tile with a clatter, which Natasha scoops up for her before she can react. "I don't know how long this meeting with Cooper's teacher will go, and Lila can't wait there by herself. They're closing the building early today, and I can't rely on Alice for the third time this week."

    "Alice?"

    "Lila's friend's mom."

    "Right."

    Summary

    "There's been underground chatter about a potential disturbance in the area," Maria Hill prompts at her door one night, long after the other agents on the floor have succumbed to deep sleep.

    Natasha had been fully awake, freshly returned from a mission in Siberia and unable to shake off the dark echoes encroaching on the edges of her sanity.

    "In the morning," says Hill, "we'll patrol the community undercover to assess the full nature of the threat and intervene if necessary.”
    -

    In which Natasha experiences a different side of life as a SHIELD agent.

    Summary

    Natasha got a tip a few days ago about children going missing from the slums.

    Her contact in the NYPD had reason to believe the disappearances were connected to a new site that's grown in popularity on the dark web, but before the investigation could get any sort of traction, money and politics got in the way.

    Apparently, none of the people at the top cared about some poor kids going missing, so Natasha decided to take justice into her own hands.

    Summary

    "Where's Hill?" Wilson's shout echoes through the clamor, and everything stops. "Someone get her. Now."

    She's already moving, sprinting through debris coated in a sick mixture of blood and ash, expecting Rogers to be on death's door because that's her job right now. That's how she can help. That's what a real hero would do, a hero just like—

    Natasha stands next to Rogers, alive and smiling a symmetrical grin that curves the edges of her eyes just right.

    Precise and perfect in every way.

    Looking back, this was the first sign.

    Summary

    As Natasha presses teasing kisses along the length of the woman's neck and along her jaw, curiosity gets the better of her. She glances over toward Hill, only to be met with a darkened gaze and lips gone slack, gently parted.

    The commander usually wears an impenetrable, ice cold façade that, occasionally, has Natasha musing what an icepick capable of splintering it would look like.

    But this—this is a much better look on Hill.

    "Excuse me. Is this seat taken?"

    The woman at the bar raises an eyebrow with interest rather than judgement. "Now it is." She gestures toward the open stool. "Please."

    Carol waves a hand toward Josie for a refill on their drinks. "Never seen you around here before," she says, turning back. "I'm Carol. Carol Danvers."

    "Natalie." Curious eyes dance with amusement. "Natalie Rushman. Nice to meet you."

    A pattering of footsteps behind followed by a shout—“Seph!”—causes her to turn just in time as a small familiar figure crashes into her and arms wrap around her waist. Her heart stutters and leaps with excitement.

    “I’ve missed you so much,” Grace mumbles, muffled, into her neck.
