Black Widow has seemingly died in the arms of her fiancé James and baby Stevie,
thanks to an implant put in her brain by the bad guys. But then she shocks
awake, with her full memories restored. Watching remotely, Weeping Lion is
stunned that she is still alive—and Viper is now angry that they are now all on
Natasha’s hit list. She orders a Hydra hit team to the house to buy time while
they escape but Snapdragon suggests they all band together to kill her….
Nat
asks James to hide in the house with the baby while she takes care of matters,
telling him she will explain everything later. The Hydra goons arrive and Nat
takes them down with some swift and masterful action. Yelena Belova also shows
up to help and they flee to a safe house in the city. Once they are settled in,
Natasha tells everything to James, that she is the Black Widow, captured
outside her apartment by Viper and some Hydra flunkies. She was taken to a lab
where she and James (a stranger) were operated on to install implants with
false memories of perfect lives, the bad guys even creating a baby from their
shared DNA. They were then released in San Francisco to live happily ever after.
Now she’s back to normal but still has no idea, other than Hydra, who is behind
this. She then gets to the hardest part of all: to remain safe, James has to
take Stevie and go far away, never seeing her again. Winter Soldier and Hawkeye
arrive and they help Natasha plan her next moves. But then an unseen sniper
fires a rocket into the apartment that explodes in the room where James and
Stevie were sleeping….
