Evil Angel || Tony & Natalia
Tony threw back another glass of scotch, eyes shutting tight as he swallowed the liquid down before placing the glass back on the counter. Whatever Natalia wanted, itâd better have been good. Stark wasnât in the mood to be messed about though he was rarely in that kind of mood anymore. His snarky comments had only slowly turned into cold insults and he hadnât laughed in weeks. How could he? He had no one around to trust and he really didnât feel like he could trust anyone asides from JARVIS and Dummy and they were his own creations.Â
When he heard the elevator doors slide open he looked up from the bottle of scotch, which heâd been moments later been considering taking another long swig off and his eyes locked onto Natalia. Itâd certainly been a while since heâd seen her, a year at least. Maybe itâd would have been different if everything that had happened, hadnât but he rarely pleased to anyone anymore.Â
âI wouldnât have had much of a problem keeping in that way.â He murmured to himself and walked out from behind his bar taking a few steps towards her, hands buried inside the pockets of his jeans. âApparently.â He spoke loud enough for her to hear this time.âSo what do you want? And why the hell are you going by Natalia now?âÂ
Natalia read his lips before he spoke, asking the inevitable question that meant he did not know about her departure from SHIELD. That could only mean that this conversation with him could go either very well or very badly, but considering what she had with her, she knew he would at least hear her out. It was a risk, hiding in plain sight to go see him, but at this point, it was necessary.
"I have something that might interest you," she spoke calmly, tucking a hand into the front pocket of her jeans. "They're files that I have stolen from SHIELD over the past 10 years; a safety net of sorts, you could say. A few of them hold information that I'm sure you would like to read."
The assassin took a deep breath, tilting her head slightly before she explained why she no longer went by Natasha. "I am Natalia Romanova once again because I left SHIELD. I had a huge falling out with them over a call I made on a mission, so I have been freelance ever since. I was tired of going by the name they had given me, so I returned to my roots. I'm the real Black Widow for the first time in a decade."
