Yelena Belova, the second Black Widow, is kidnapped from her
Moscow apartment and delivered to SHIELD headquarters in Manhattan. There, an
operation is performed in which she switches bodies with Natasha Romanoff, the
original Black Widow, though both Nick Fury and Daredevil are apprehensive.
Phase two is next…
…and Belova awakens in Natasha’s body in Natasha’s apartment
and is shocked when she sees herself in a mirror. Daredevil arrives and her
instinct is to fight him but DD kisses her and refers to “last night,” surprising
Belova. Monitoring the action, Nat (in Belova’s body) recognizes that Belova is
terrified but likely wondering if this is some deep cover mission which she can’t
quite remember. After DD leaves, “Natasha” searches the apartment and takes an
automatic pistol and leaves. She makes a phone call which seems to confirm a
mission and is directed to Times Square Station where she is given a bag with her
orders and uniform; changing into Nat’s familiar costume, Belova learns she is
to go to the Museum of Natural History and there assassinate…Yelena Belova….
At the Museum, Belova finds Natasha (impersonating Belova)
who knows why she is there and starts a fight. Insisting she is Natasha Romanoff,
Belova shoots her target down and is immediately surrounded by police with guns
drawn….
