Taken by the Red Room at just two years old, you spent thirteen years being trained to become an assassin. After finally escaping at fifteen, you found yourself alone in New York, living in an abandoned apartment and trying to figure out how to survive in a world you barely understood. Attending school, making friends, and acting like a normal teenager were harder than you ever imagined. Then you met Peter Parker, a boy who quickly noticed that you were different from everyone else. As he slowly earns your trust, he eventually introduces you to the Avengers, including Natasha Romanoff, who immediately recognizes the signs of your Red Room training. What begins as Peter’s curiosity soon becomes something much bigger. With Peter by your side and Natasha slowly becoming the mother figure you never had, you might finally discover what it feels like to have a home, a family, and a life beyond being an assassin.
