บท 31: Reuniting with the Avengers

Well that was surprising, I did not expect that from her. I am honestly happy about what's been happening between us.

Now lets focus on getting the rest of library in Kamar-Taj, only the most difficult books are left. I will just memorize them and study them at a later time.

Sigh, shadow clones would be nice right about now. But buying chakra takes 10K points, and just the Shadow clone just is 50K because its so versatile, and lets not talk about the time I have to spend on chakra control to use the jutsu in the first place. Nen was so cheap because it was my first 'power'.

I need to find some Hydra bases and rob them, I would go rob Shield but they are pretty much broke.

I sigh again and enter a portal leading to Kamar-Taj.

Nat Pov

I found myself on an abandoned warehouse in NY, in just a couple of minutes I can see the Avengers Tower. Now that I think about it. Why put the sign there, it's a huge target begging for a missile strike. The government is so corrupts that they might just ignore an incoming missile heading straight for the Tower. I shrug, not my problem anymore, as long as they don't bomb this place in the next few days while I'm there I don't care what they do after.

I go to the front door and say "Jarvis can you please open the door, and while your at it, If possible don't tell them I'm here, I want it to be a surprise" I wonder if this will even work

"Of course, Ms. Romanoff, you have been put in the register to the people that can ask for my help, but do know that I always inform Mr. Stark later in the night of what has happened, so if you don't tell them now, I will do so later."

"Thank you Jarvis" Huh so that's how he programed him. Good to know

I go into the elevator and after a few seconds I arrive at the top floor. I hear Tony say

"Finally, Coulson your Earthquake girl's here, I need her to help me hack some government satellites, Nat's tracker started again and I need all of them." well good to know they are still trying I guess

"That won't be necessary Tony, as you can see I am right here" the look on all faces is priceless

They just stop moving for about 5 sec, some even more, guess this is quite the shock to them.

"Nat? How did you escape?" Clint says while moving towards me

"I didn't he let me go. Oh and by the way, he will come back here in 3 days to make a deal with Thor and Tony."

"Clint I heard some important information about 'you know who' " I told him as I look at his stomach, signal for his pregnant wife

Clint's eyes immediately widened and he starts to panic a little "Lets go to a private room"

"Sure, we will be back in 5 minutes, I will answer your questions then, this is important, gather the rest so I don't have to repeat myself"

We go into a private room where there are no cameras or microphones of any kind.

"I just heard from them earlier they are ok, Nat what did you find out?"

I look him straight in the eyes "Did you know?

"Huh Nat what are you talking about?"

I pointed an ICER at him " Did you know?"

He was stunned at that, and after a few moments, he seriously replied "No I didn't know a thing about this. Are you sure?"

The gem that Grand gave me vibrated once, that means he is telling the truth, a simple lie detection artifact, saved me so much trouble.

I sigh out of relief, and put my gun down "Sorry about that but I had to make sure. Yes I am a hundred percent sure that Fury knew about it and still used me, I will put a bullet in his head the next time i meet him, I will probably kill Coulson right now too if he knew about it as well."

He looks lost "How? Why?"

"The Red Room brainwashing was still left, Fury had to have known from all the tests I did to become a Shield agent. He must have though I was more useful like that, and if I failed a former KGB spy conveniently takes the blame instead of Shield."

He stays quiet for a while

"Clint I know you are very loyal to Shield, and this might seem hard to believe, but remember you told me only Fury knows about your home, if you ever went rouge or out of line, how do you think they will stop you, since no-one else knows about them they cant harm them, that's true, but it also means they cant protect them"

"Why did Fury set up that house, why not you? Wouldn't that be safer?"

"I.. I.. don't know" he looks devastated, he must have had doubts already, and I just arrived with proof , we trust each other with our lives, I wouldn't lie about this

"How did you find out" he asks me somberly

"The wizard, he found out at first, I obviously refused, but he kept stacking proof after proof, then I had no choice but to accept the truth. He healed me for a price, I have never felt better in my entire life Clint, I'm free" I smile at him

" So what he robs us, kidnaps you, heals you and lets you go?" yea it does look a bit weird

"He is a weird person, he put a spell on me so I cant reveal information about him, until he comes back here himself, he wants to make a deal, Thor's hammer and Tony's suits in exchange for something, what I don't exactly know. He let me go to be his messenger, this way there is least likely chance that there will be another fight."

Clint thinks about this for a minute "You are right, now that we know your safe, everybody except Thor should calm down, Tony doesn't care that much about the suits, he can always make more"

I nod at that, lets go, the others are waiting, but don't be surprised when I pull a real gun on Coulson if he knew I am shooting him"

He just sighs at that, knowing that I won't change my mind, he really is a great friend

"Clint after we are done here, we need to move them right away, they are not safe if anybody else knows where they are. I can call a favor from the wizard just to open a portal to somewhere, and we will take it from there, even he wont know where they are, this will be plan B if we cant figure out a solid plan other than this." he isn't happy to ask for help from a stranger but still nods, he knows his families safety is what matters most

We get out enter the living room, everybody's gathered here, The Avengers, Coulson and his team, Lady Sif and Maria Hill

Bruce comes in front of me "Nat are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine" its still weird seeing him from my new perspective, I know I liked him, but I like Grant now as well, I need to figure out my feelings

"Well agent Romanoff I think its time you told us what happened" Coulson takes lead on the conversation

"Sure but first, Tony can get me a drink, and some for you guys, you will need it"

"Okay?" he looked a bit confused but still got the drinks

"Before I start, Tony can you tell me about Ultron?" one last check, I'm 80% sure Grant was telling the truth, this will confirm it

He looked startled "How do you know about Ultron? Those are triple encrypted files, which you need to manually type in the code from my office"

Oh, boy "Tony can you give us a rough idea of what Ultron is"

He explains, that its a retirement plan, a suit of armor protecting the world, an A.I police force. Well there are no doubts now.

I tell them the basics, he kidnaped me, healed me for a price naturally and let me go to deliver a message that he will come here in 3 days to make a deal with Thor and Tony.

"So he will come here to return my hammer in exchange for something" Thor asks

"That's what he said, I don't know what he wants, and he used a spell to keep me silent" I answer him

"Lady Sif you are experienced with magic, see if you can undo his spell, and Nat what do you mean he healed you, you weren't injured in the fight" I smile at that and stand up

I pull two guns on Coulson and Maria Hill and aims it at their heads

"Woah Woah" Tony exclaims

"Nat what are you doing!" Bruce yells

I just look at Coulson and Maria

"What I didn't tell you is that he undid my brainwashing, and here is my question. Did you know that I was still Brainwashed? I suggest that you don't lie I can tell."

"Agent Romanoff what is the meaning of this" Coulson says

"Has she been brainwashed by the scepter?" Sky asks

"Everybody calm down!" Clint yells but he is ready to back me up

"You see the last 3 days the wizard healed me for a price, and it turns out that Fury knew all this time that I was brainwashed, but didn't tell me so he would have a suicide spy for the most dangerous missions. Now you two as Fury's closest consultants, his Right and Left hands so to speak, you must have known about this." I inform everyone

"But just to make sure. Did you know?!"

A/N ( Son of a bitch, I wrote like 400 words, and clicked save, my session ran out, and it was lost)

Answer in the comments Shoot Coulson now or let him die later, I honestly don't care about him. I have something different stored in mind for Maria
