    Summary

    “You were pregnant.”

    13 years ago those words had broken Natasha’s heart and numbed it to ice. 13 years ago Madame told Natasha they’d killed the child in her womb during her graduation ceremony. 13 years ago Dreykov forced Natasha to watch as the Winter Soldier was wiped of all memory of her.

    She’d had cause to curse the Red Room a thousand times over but even she hadn't seen this coming. She'd never imagined Madame lied. She hadn’t considered Dreykov would want to keep the Winter Soldier’s child.

    When Steve asked her to look for Bucky, she didn’t expect to find him. She wasn't prepared to find a 10 year old with red hair, green eyes, and her James's features.

    She thought she’d lost her child forever, before she even had her, but it was all a lie. Now suddenly she’s mother to a traumatised 10 year old girl more familiar with guns than hugs. Her child has spent 3 years frozen in cryogenic storage and the other 10 training as a Widow.

    And Natasha would go to the ends of the earth and fight any monster to protect her daughter but even she might not be up to the task of protecting her baby girl. Because the Red Room is still out there, and Dreykov will stop at nothing.

    Summary

    “I don’t have sex.”

    Agatha’s face screwed up somewhere between delight and incredulity, “You don’t ever?” She scoffed, “As in you’ve never at all? How long have you been here?”

    “Since the inception of life itself.”

    “And you’ve never fucked?” The way she said it, it did sound a little stupid, “What do you do to pass the time?”

    “I scare children,” Death shifted in her chair, still rubbing at the skin of one hand with the other. No wonder Agatha had nowhere to live, she thought. She was unbearable. “Amongst other things.”

    *

    Or,

    Upon meeting Death, Agatha takes it upon herself to educate her on some of the finer points of being human.
