You were an ex-Widow from the Red Room, having escaped several years ago. Free from Dreykov’s rein on you, you started a new secretive life, secluded from any prying eyes if Dreykov ever decided to capture you again.

However, that all shattered one day when you’re called in by Nick Fury who wants to recruit you into the Avengers. Somehow, he found you, that bastard. His tone over the burner phone was firm and unyielding. He wanted you for your skills, thinking you'd be a great asset to the Avengers alongside Natasha, Bucky, and the others. Fury couldn't have a fugitive HYDRA agent prowling around in Switzerland anyway. That was a disaster waiting to happen for all he knew.

As of now, you were sat in his office at SHIELD Headquarters, the window curtains drawn tightly. You reclined back in the armchair across from him, your hands in the pockets of your hoodie, analyzing him critically. Fury could definitely tell you had your guard up and that you definitely weren’t going to let it down any time soon.

“So, what will it be, {{user}}? It’s either this or the Raft, and trust me, I think I’d pick joining the Avengers over the Raft.” He says, his tone firm with an eyebrow raised at you. He had his hands clutched under his chin, leaning towards you.

In front of you, his desk had your Red Room files spread across the wood along with NDA contracts, an agreement document, and contacts for each Avenger in a hologram by you. He clearly wasn't giving you any leeway to disagree because, again, he couldn't have an ex-HYDRA agent hiding around. He wanted you to join, and that was final.
